Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

"Didn't I just say that?" Tiamat didn't speak, but Sajyou Manaka snorted coldly, "This woman's maternal love has long been corrupted. It's not just familial love for her child, but more of a romantic love."

Upon hearing this, both Ryougi Shiki and Irisviel looked towards Tiamat.

The Creation Mother Goddess, who was in a dark mode not long ago, seems to have recovered now, embracing her child with both arms.

Lan Ze felt immense pressure as he looked at the kind eyes of the group with two hearts pressing against the back of his head.

"Tiamat, don't you have anything to explain?" Sajyou Manaka stared at Tiamat with eyes full of anger.

The woman blinked, hugged the baby, tilted her head, and made a confused "Aaa" sound.

It's as if she's saying: I don't understand any of this, I just want to be with my child.

Sajyou Manaka frowned, and although Ryougi Shiki's eyes remained calm, she also felt deeply insulted.

She felt challenged, even though the Creation Mother Goddess hadn't done anything at the moment, except for displaying two enormous fruits.

... but this small action caused such great harm.

This single action caused immense pain to both Root Girls and even Ereshkigal.

Feeling the gazes of the group, Tiamat blinked and stared blankly for a moment before saying in a clear, gentle voice, "This child cannot marry you."

Then, she looked at Sajyou Manaka, "Are you willing for him to marry someone else?"

Sajyou Manaka fell silent.

Although Tiamat usually seems a bit naive and innocent, she knows what she needs. That kiss just now wasn't out of spite, but rather a declaration of ownership.

When surrounded by the crowd, she used a few simple words to sow discord Ryougi Shiki and Sajyou Manaka, who had secretly formed a partnership.

Tiamat may seem a bit silly and innocent at first glance, but she's actually smarter than anyone imagines.

"He agreed to it himself; I didn't force him," Ryougi Shiki suddenly said.

Tiamat fell silent.

Sajyou Manaka and Ereshkigal also frowned, glancing at Lan Ze with resentful eyes.

No, if this continues, they'll start fighting again. I can't let Mo Zai "sacrifice" in vain. I have to think of a way to change the subject... Lan Ze's head was resting on Tiamat's head cushion, but his brain was working at high speed.

He was currently bound by the Sea of Life and completely unable to move. Was he really going to stop them with just words?

So you're saying all of this was arranged by the system...?

No, that's one explanation, but they won't calm down based on just that one... Let's think of another way...

As Lan Ze thought of this, his gaze swept over the people in front of him.

He suddenly noticed an extremely resentful gaze fixed on him. When Lan Ze followed that resentful gaze, he saw Irisviel's gentle face.

Irisviel gazed at Lan Ze with a complicated expression, her eyes meeting his.

After a moment, Irisviel, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke softly, "I think you don't need to rush Caster to make a decision like this. As for marriage, this is a very important matter and should be considered carefully."

Ryougi Shiki immediately shook her head and said, "Caster has already accepted the proposal, so why would you need to reconsider?"

While everyone's attention was drawn to Irisviel, Lan Ze also stared at her, hoping that Irisviel would come to the rescue.

But Irisviel fell into a brief silence.

Irisviel's silence didn't mean the others would give up. Among them, Sajyou Manaka had the most authority, as she and Ryougi Shiki shared the same Root. She immediately sneered and said:

"You don't even like him, so why do you insist on marrying him? If you really want to date, why don't you just pick someone off the street?"

Tiamat nodded in agreement with an "Aaa".

Ereshkigal chimed in, "If we're talking about marriage, he and I were actually the first to sign the contract. If I were to marry you now, it would be... bigamy! That's right, that's bigamy!"

"And the Divine Messenger said before that I am his favorite person!" Ereshkigal said loudly again, even putting her hands on her hips triumphantly at the end.

"He said that to me before," Sajyou Manaka suddenly said quietly.

"He's told me this several times," Tiamat said softly.

"He mentioned it to me once before," Ryougi Shiki said.

"..."

After a long silence, everyone's gazes turned to Lan Ze at the same time.

Lan Ze thought to himself, "Holy crap!" and felt a cold sweat run down his back. He never imagined that Ereshkigal, who was always shy, would openly say the sweet words he used to say to her.

Lan Ze originally thought that someone as easily embarrassed as Ereshkigal would keep such words to herself.

Just then, Irisviel's clear and gentle voice suddenly came softly, saying:

"Actually, I think you can trust Caster's character."

"Although Caster is a womanizer and has some strange quirks, I believe he's a good boy. He must have his reasons for accepting Miss Shiki's proposal."

Although he was grateful to Irisviel for saving the day, he found her words rather harsh... Lan Ze had mixed feelings. He knew that Irisviel was using a veiled attack, taking the opportunity to express her dissatisfaction while "rescuing" him.

Irisviel continued:

"I know everyone is very angry right now, but as far as I know, Tiamat is the Creation Mother Goddess in Mesopotamia mythology. In the mythology, she is known for loving children. The reason she kissed Caster just now was because she was too hasty about Miss Shiki's marriage proposal."

I think she just wanted to express that her love for Caster was far greater than anyone else's.

"Aaaaa." Tiamat nodded with great satisfaction, suddenly finding Irisviel quite pleasing to the eye.

Not only is she good-looking and speaks kindly, but she is also very honest... She is a very good child.

"So Aika, you don't need to be so angry," Irisviel continued.

Sajyou Manaka's eyes turned cold, and she said unhappily, "Are you saying I'm being unreasonable?"

Irisviel lowered her eyes and said softly, "I think Aika is a very charming girl. Caster often mentioned you to me before. Not only me, but he also thinks you know how to consider the big picture and understand the difference between what is important and what is urgent."

The yandere loli's expression softened slightly; she felt that Irisviel understood her and knew that she was a mature adult.

As a result, she suddenly found Irisviel much more pleasing to the eye.

Irisviel looked around at everyone and continued, "The Caster accepted the Holy Grail's summons to break free from the corrupting effects of the Holy Lance, right? Shouldn't we be focusing on seizing the Holy Grail right now, rather than fighting amongst ourselves?"

When the words were spoken, the entire street fell silent.

Irisviel's few words instantly reversed the situation, turning the tide and pointing the finger at the Holy Grail.

I didn't expect that Irisviel, who looked so gentle and weak, would be so shrewd... Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to the Holy Grail, Lan Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, Irisviel raised her seemingly fragile eyes and continued softly, "As for Caster... I think we can ask him about it when we get back."

Lan Ze: "..."

What Irisviel just said was roughly this: let's deal with the external enemy first, and then we can slowly deal with the Lan Ze problem.

This suggestion was accepted by everyone, so Tiamat immediately looked up at Kama in mid-air and said in a clear, gentle voice, "Give me the Holy Grail."

Kama, who had just been watching Lan Ze make a fool of himself, suddenly stiffened, then looked directly at Jeanne d'Arc: "Miss Referee, it's unreasonable for several people to openly and fairly steal the Holy Grail, isn't it?"

Laeticia sighed helplessly and said in a weak voice, "... Those two referees aren't here right now. I'm just an ordinary person."

Kama: "..."

As the gazes of several people turned toward him, Kama stubbornly remained suspended in mid-air, refusing to hand over the Holy Grail.

With so many people watching, if we were to hand the Holy Grail to Tiamat now, wouldn't it be like surrendering to her?

Wouldn't that completely disgrace the Beasts?!

"No, no! This is my Holy Grail!" Kama stubbornly refused.

But Tiamat remained persistent, simply extending her hand towards Kama once more. "Give it to me."

As he spoke, the Sea of Life had been binding Lan Ze quietly released its restraints. Lan Ze, who had just been immersed in the warmth of maternal love, finally came to his senses and looked up at the sky.

At this moment, Kama was slowly retreating under Tiamat's gaze, but his eyes remained resolute.

This concerns the name of Cupid!

How could she possibly save face after obediently presenting the Holy Grail in front of so many people?

Imagine if she obediently handed over the Holy Grail this time. If word of this gets to the other beasts, the next time she goes to that beast space, everyone will probably be full of mocking remarks when they see her, and the whole space will be filled with a joyful atmosphere.

It's just too shameful to even think about!

Even if it means destroying the Holy Grail, it cannot be given to Tiamat.

Because this is a disgrace, a disgrace to the Creation Mother Goddess!

At that moment, Lan Ze suddenly shouted, "Kishinami Hakuno, you'd better hand over the Holy Grail obediently!"

Kama, who was secretly contemplating whether she should destroy the Holy Grail, was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. When she looked down at Lan Ze again, her eyes flickered, and then an interesting smile appeared on her lips.

He then snorted coldly and threw the Holy Grail in his hand away.

"I don't really need the Holy Grail anyway, so you can have it if you want! Also, I'll leave this little girl at the Matou Family; someone can come and take her back later."

After saying that, she turned around and flew towards the Matou Family's residence without looking back.

What? Giving up the Holy Grail is too shameful?

It's Kishinami Hakuno's disgraced, what does it have to do with Kama?

Sajyou Manaka raised her hand and caught the Holy Grail that floated down from mid-air, weighing it in her hand.

Almost instantly, the Holy Grail suddenly emitted a faint light.

"The Holy Grail is fully charged?!" Lan Ze stared in astonishment at this scene, then glanced at the big loli.

Although he already knew that Sajyou Manaka's abilities were extremely powerful, he still didn't expect that this girl could fill the Holy Grail in an instant.

"Use this Holy Grail to break free from the Holy Lance's corruption, and then the Holy Grail War will be over, right?"

Sajyou Manaka tilted her head slightly and glanced at the other Servant.

"Or are there other people vying for the Holy Grail?"

Gilgamesh didn't even look at him, just snorted coldly, turned around and disappeared into the air.

The assassin, who had been slacking off until the very end, silently disappeared into the street.

Mordred made a "woofing" sound, as if to say: Help me get this off first!

Sajyou Manaka's gaze fell on Leinys.

Leinys simply shrugged. "I don't care. In the end, this Holy Grail War has never been fair at all."

"And I'm here to find someone, but it seems he doesn't live in this era."

"Looking for someone?" Sajyou Manaka became somewhat interested.

She raised her hand, made a wish, and continued, "Who are you looking for?"

She actually participated in the Holy Grail War to find someone... To be honest, she's quite interested in this kind of thing.

"My fiancé," Leinys sighed. "He saved my life when I was in danger, and we even spent a night in a cave. He said then that he would marry me, but then he disappeared."

"Don't you know what that Servant's name is?" Sajyou Manaka asked.

"I don't know, but he always says things that catch you off guard. For example, when I told him I was interested in him, instead of being shy, he would say things that made me even more embarrassed." Leinys sighed as she spoke. "Honestly, sometimes I don't know how his brain works."

"What does he look like?" Ryougi Shiki asked.

"I don't know," Leinys sighed. "The man was wearing a black cloak at the time, so I couldn't see his face at all."

"I see..." Sajyou Manaka murmured to herself.

At the same time, Lan Ze slowly opened his eyes, feeling the erosion of the Holy Lance quietly disappear under the power of the Holy Grail's wish.

Then, he glanced discreetly at the people present and felt a chill run down his spine.

He slapped his thigh in indignation. "This kind of person is just too much! How could he abandon his fiancée and run away alone?! And he didn't even leave his name?!"

As he spoke, Lan Ze stood up, turned his head and said, "By the way, I'll go take Matou Sakura back. I'm a little worried about leaving her there alone."

"You're not going to take this opportunity to run away, are you?" Sajyou Manaka tilted her head slightly, smiling as she gazed at Lan Ze.

"I'm waiting for you to go back and explain what happened during this time."

Her voice was clear and pleasant, yet it sent chills down one's spine.

"What have you been through in the past? How did you meet the Creation Mother Goddess and others...? I'm also interested in knowing." Ryougi Shiki said softly.

"Aaa," Tiamat whispered in response.

Although Ereshkigal didn't speak, her gaze was filled with a chilling coldness.
