Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

It wasn't that Lan Ze intentionally wanted to delay his return; it was just that there were still some things there that he needed to take care of.

Thinking of this, he summoned the Heavenly Ark from the golden gate behind him. Just as he jumped onto the Heavenly Ark, he found a gaze fixed on him from behind.

"Miss Referee, the Holy Grail War is over. Is there anything else you need?" Lan Ze asked helplessly as he turned his head.

Jeanne d'Arc stared into Lan Ze's eyes and asked, "How did you do that? How did you manage to produce an identical cross necklace?"

Lan Ze simply smiled and said, "This is a secret; I can't just tell anyone."

Jeanne d'Arc fell silent.

"Is there anything else?" Lan Ze asked. "If not, I have to leave now. I have something to take care of."

"I'll go with you," Jeanne d'Arc said, staring into Lan Ze's eyes.

She added, "Although the Holy Grail War is over, I want to prevent you from engaging in any further cheating."

"This is also part of a referee's duty."

Lan Ze gazed at the Miss Referee's graceful figure, then lingered for a moment in her resolute eyes before saying, "What if I refuse?"

"You can't refuse." Jeanne d'Arc shook her head, looking at Lan Ze with a confident gaze.

This referee is very confident in himself...

When Lan Ze thought of this, his temper flared up instantly, and the Heavenly Ark beneath his feet suddenly moved, rushing towards the sky in an instant.

However, just as the Heavenly Ark reached mid-air, Lan Ze suddenly froze slightly, silently turning the Heavenly Ark back to the ground and quietly stopping in front of Jeanne d'Arc.

Lan Ze stared at the Miss Referee with a slightly stiff expression, while the girl revealed an extremely beautiful smile.

"Why are you back?" She tilted her head slightly, feigning ignorance, with a touch of girlish playfulness.

Lan Ze rolled his eyes at Jeanne d'Arc: "Come on up yourself, I'm too lazy to move."

It wasn't that he wanted to fly back; rather, Jeanne d'Arc used the power of Command Spells to bring him back as soon as he reached the sky.

Yes... the Holy Grail War may be over, but the Command Spells in the Miss Referee's hand haven't disappeared yet.

Even though the Holy Grail War was already over, this referee still had to meddle in so many things, and even blew the whistle unfairly... Lan Ze felt a strong sense of condemnation towards the girl behind him.

While Lan Ze was still resentful of being ordered around, Jeanne d'Arc sat on the Heavenly Ark, facing the night breeze, and her mind gradually became active.

From the moment she met this Servant, she felt something was off.

First, this Servant is able to use the Noble Phantasm of other Servant. Then, it is suddenly discovered that he is not only the child of the Creation Mother Goddess but also has a connection with the Princess of the Root. It can even be said that from the moment he accepted the Heroic Spirit Summoning, he seemed to have become the center of the vortex of the entire battlefield.

And just now, right in front of her, he even copied an identical cross necklace and gave it to Karen.

That ability is simply too overpowered.

Perhaps my acceptance of the Holy Grail's call is not due to the Holy Grail itself, but rather to the guidance of the Lord...?

Suddenly, this thought flashed through Jeanne d'Arc's mind.

Then, her eyes widened slightly, a faint glimmer of hope appearing within them.

That's right... Perhaps the Lord sensed the power contained within this Servant and sent her into this world so that she could guide this child?

So at least before I leave, I should properly guide this child to use this power correctly...

As Jeanne d'Arc thought of this, her brows furrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly.

But this child doesn't seem to respond to force, so the only way is to use love to influence him and guide him onto the right path in the future...?

But what is the best course of action?

Jeanne d'Arc fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

While Jeanne d'Arc was still pondering, they had unknowingly arrived at Einsbern Castle.

Lan Ze jumped off the Heavenly Ark, turned to Jeanne d'Arc and said, "Wait for me here."

After saying that, he strode into the castle.

Jeanne d'Arc looked at Lan Ze with some confusion. After waiting for about half an hour, Lan Ze came out of the castle.

"What did you go to do?" Jeanne d'Arc asked, looking at Lan Ze with confusion.

"I'll entrust Yubis with delivering the Holy Grail from the Singularity to Chaldea," Lan Ze said.

"I also checked on Illya's condition."

"Illya ...?" Jeanne d'Arc repeated, her eyes filled with confusion.

"She's my daughter... I think she's my daughter?" Lan Ze said uncertainly. "Anyway, she's still asleep."

He then glanced at Jeanne d'Arc again. "Is there anything else? If not, I'm leaving."

Jeanne d'Arc hesitated for a moment, then gave a gentle smile and said, "Castleer, I think you should try to control your power a little—"

Lan Ze waved his hand. "Forget about lecturing. Are you worried that I'll do something bad, or that I'll incite Mother and Aika to do something bad?"

Jeanne d'Arc was immediately embarrassed when Lan Ze so directly exposed her.

Lan Ze merely smiled faintly, glanced at Jeanne d'Arc d'Arc, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't do anything bad."

"On the contrary, I should be worried about my own safety..." Lan Ze murmured.

For some reason, Jeanne d'Arc always felt that Lan Ze's eyes were filled with sadness.

Lan Ze took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

He glanced at Jeanne d'Arc of Arc, smiled, and continued, "In any case, let's end the lecture here. If we have the chance to meet again, you can lecture as much as you want."

As he spoke, he opened the system interface and pressed the exit game button.

Then, Lan Ze looked at the buttons displaying "○" and "×" on the interface, slowly raised his hand, pressed "○", looked up at Jeanne d'Arc's exquisite and holy face, and added:

"Of course... the premise for lecturing is that I'll be alive to see you again next time."

Lan Ze gently pressed the confirmation button.

Late at night, Tohsaka Tokiomi returned home. As soon as he opened the door, little Rin Tohsaka Rin pounced on him.

Tokiomi Tohsaka Tokiomi on his way home, instantly cheered when he saw his daughter's smiling face. He smiled and patted her head, asking, "Sakura's back?"

Tohsaka Rin nodded and said, "An older brother brought her back, and she's sleeping in my room now."

It seems Caster is quite trustworthy... Tohsaka Tokiomi smiled and nodded, "That's good. It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

Tohsaka Rin nodded obediently, then, as if suddenly remembering something, she looked up at Tohsaka Tokiomi with longing eyes and said, "Father, I want to become Magecraft as excellent as you when I grow up!"

Tohsaka Tokiomi bent down slightly, gently stroking his daughter's head, and smiled, "Then work hard. I will teach you more Magecraft in the future, and you will definitely become an excellent Magecraft."

On the way back, Tohsaka Tokiomi was still feeling resentful about the unfairness of this Holy Grail War, but when he looked at his daughter, he suddenly felt a sense of relief.

If it weren't for the final arrival of the Princess of the Root, it would be uncertain whether he could have won the Holy Grail Holy Grail War this time.

Although the King of Heroes has been summoned, the Servant and even Master in this Holy Grail War are all incredibly monstrous. Thinking about it, surviving and then slowly teaching his daughter over a long period of time seems pretty good, doesn't it?

"Father, I want to participate in the Holy Grail War next time too," Tohsaka Rin suddenly said.

Tohsaka Tokiomi paused slightly, then gave an elegant smile, "Why does Rin want to participate in the Holy Grail War? Is there a reason?"

Tohsaka Rin's eyes flickered slightly as she said earnestly, "Because Father wants to obtain the Holy Grail, right? So I must win the next Holy Grail War for Father."

Simply put: It is our duty to restore the glory of the Tohsaka Family.

Tohsaka Tokiomi's smile widened, and his gaze towards his daughter softened even more.

He was very pleased that his daughter was so filial.

"There's another secret, which I'll only tell my father, but he has to promise not to tell anyone else," Tohsaka Rin suddenly said mysteriously.

"What secret?" Tohsaka Tokiomi asked with a hint of curiosity in his smile.

"I want to summon Caster," Tohsaka Rin said in a very soft voice, as if she were revealing a very important secret.

caster...?

Tohsaka Tokiomi seemed to recall some very unpleasant memory, and his smile suddenly became slightly stiff.

Ultimately, the reason his Holy Grail War experience was so terrible was largely due to Caster, that mysterious boy.

Tohsaka Tokiomi collected his thoughts and smiled slightly, "Why did Rin want to summon a Caster instead of another Servant?"

"Because of the Caster, there's a chance to summon that person, right?" Tohsaka Rin said matter-of-factly.

"That person...?" Tohsaka Tokiomi paused slightly, a strange sense of unease creeping into his heart.

"Who are you talking about...?"

"It's that older brother who brought Sakura back." Tohsaka Rin swayed her twin tails, a confident look on her face.

"I will definitely be able to summon it!"

That confident look is just like you when a certain game's featured banner first opened, brimming with confidence.

Tohsaka Tokiomi, his feelings a complex mix, looked at his daughter and asked, "Why do you want to summon him?"

Tohsaka Rin raised her head, thought for a moment, and said, "I want to see his surprised expression when I summon him."

Tohsaka Tokiomi shook his head with a wry smile, then said seriously, "Well, if it's Rin, maybe she really could summon that Caster."

Although the probability of this is almost zero, he didn't want to discourage his daughter; it would be good for her to have a goal to strive for.

"Alright, go to sleep now," Tohsaka Tokiomi said softly.

"Um!"

As his daughter nodded and turned to go back to her room, Tohsaka Tokiomi suddenly noticed a room not far ahead in his field of vision.

The room, which had been slightly ajar, was quietly closed after the two finished their conversation.

Lan Ze slowly opened his eyes.

The ceiling that came into view seemed to be saying to him: Hmph, familiar human.

Lan Ze did not remove the virtual reality glasses, but instead quietly turned them off while observing the room through the lenses.

"Good, no one's in the room. Looks like they haven't gotten home yet."

Lan Ze breathed a sigh of relief, took off his virtual reality glasses, then sat up from the bedside and went to the full-length mirror to examine his appearance.

The person in the mirror had slightly messy, soft black hair, a handsome face, and exceptionally bright, dark eyes, looking quite energetic.

It seems that the wish-granting machine has indeed successfully counteracted the corrosive effects of the Holy Lance.

"But why does it still feel a little too young... as if it's not as mature as before?" Lan Ze rested his chin on his hand, gazing at himself in the full-length mirror. After observing himself carefully for a while, he couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Could it be a side effect?"

To instantly reverse aging with a single use of the Holy Lance —wouldn't that be an absolute godsend for some seventeen-year-old purple-haired beauties?

Unfortunately, most people who use the Holy Lance don't succumb to age-related decline, but rather are directly corrupted by the gods.

Just as Lan Ze was about to turn and leave the room, the door suddenly opened, Irisviel, wearing a white silk dress and cotton slippers, stepped across the threshold and into the room.

Her gaze swept around the room, finally settling on Lan Ze.

Then, Irisviel tilted her head slightly, a gentle smile on her face, "I felt you seemed to be awake, so I took the liberty of coming in to check on you. I hope I haven't disturbed you?"

Lan Ze sniffed lightly. His room wasn't large, but with just a slight twitch of his nostrils, he could smell a delicate fragrance that was refreshing and intoxicating.

"No, thank you so much for tonight." Lan Ze looked up at Irisviel and smiled.

If it weren't for Irisviel, things wouldn't have been so easily resolved tonight... Irisviel single-handedly stopped a potential fight between the three of them.

Although she wasn't very strong in combat, this woman was quite intelligent... Lan Ze was filled with emotion.

"There's nothing to thank me for. I'm just glad I didn't cause you any trouble," Irisviel said with a smile.

She walked to the bedside and sat down with her knees together. Then, she used her pinky finger to tuck a strand of silver hair behind her ear, revealing her delicate profile and thin, tender lips. This gesture drew Lan Ze's attention to her.

Upon closer inspection, Irisviel appeared to be wearing light makeup, and her attire was no different from usual, yet she possessed an exceptionally captivating charm.

Lan Ze snapped out of his reverie, walked to the bedside, sat down, and smiled, "How could it be causing trouble? If it weren't for you, Fuyuki might have run into problems earlier... You did a great job, Irisviel."

Irisviel raised her eyes and said softly, "I'm glad I didn't cause you any trouble."
