Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

If the system were still running, a prompt would appear asking whether to enter or exit the Root. But since this is the current reality, there is no such option.

But even without it, he knew exactly what to choose.

As dawn approached, Lan Ze woke up from his drowsy state and glanced at the clock.

Before I knew it, almost three hours had passed...

The door opened slightly, Ryougi Shiki, wiping her long, flowing hair with a towel, water droplets falling from her hair onto the floor, walked into the room wrapped in a bath towel, her delicate white feet stepping on the floor. She then turned and closed the door.

If you look closely, you'll notice that her face now has a maturity she never had before, a kind of charm that lies between girlhood and womanhood.

"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for you," Ryougi Shiki said.

"I should be the one saying that," Lan Ze said, his voice trembling with anger.

These kinds of words are usually spoken by the man to the woman after the act is over, but now their roles seem to be reversed, with Ryougi Shiki speaking first.

Ryougi Shiki walked to the table beside her, picked up her water glass and took a sip of hot water. Hearing this, she turned her head slightly to look at him, her eyes filled with a smile, "It doesn't matter who says it, besides, I did it voluntarily, so naturally I should take responsibility."

Not long ago, she was like a beautiful and proud peony, enduring the ravages of a storm, but now she seems completely unaffected, and has even begun to think about taking responsibility for Lan Ze in the future.

"Has the Magic Potion worn off?" Lan Ze asked, gazing at her slender back.

"No, there are still quite a few Magic Potion left in your room, but they don't have much effect on me."

Ryougi Shiki took a sip of water and continued, "Ultimately, whether that Magic Potion can affect me depends solely on whether I'm willing to be affected."

I understand, she's willingly accepting the Magic Potion's effects... Lan Ze was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why?"

Ryougi Shiki raised her head, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile, "I feel I cannot let Princess of the Root's good intentions go to waste."

The thought of Sajyou Manaka meticulously scrambling to get rid of her along the way, then secretly putting Magic Potion in Lan Ze's room that night, only for her to end up being the one who ate it, filled her with an inexplicable sense of pleasure.

"When you were at Einsbern Castle, did anything happen between you and Irisviel?" Ryougi Shiki suddenly asked.

Lan Ze was slightly taken aback and didn't react.

"One night you and Irisviel secretly left the room and went somewhere else, didn't you?" Ryougi Shiki said.

Lan Ze thought carefully for a moment, then seemed to remember something. He coughed lightly and said, "Back then, my magic power was insufficient, Irisviel helped me replenish it."

"Just replenishing magic power?" Ryougi Shiki raised an eyebrow, her eyes seeming to see through something.

She pressed one hand against the towel on her chest, walked to the head of the bed and sat down, her gaze fixed on Lan Ze's eyes.

"Hmm... it's just to replenish magic power." Lan Ze nodded, but he was clearly a little guilty.

"Tell me the truth, and I won't be angry," Ryougi Shiki said.

"Are you sure...?" Lan Ze asked tentatively.

Ryougi Shiki gave a soft "hmm," but her gaze remained fixed on Lan Ze.

After a brief, prolonged stare, Lan Ze whispered something, then fixed his gaze warily on Ryougi Shiki.

He was a little worried that the other party might just pull out a knife.

Fortunately, Ryougi Shiki only muttered to herself, "I see... So you were indeed using that method to supply magic power that night?"

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and continued, "But I remember when I saw you that day, your magic wasn't fully replenished."

Logically, if Irisviel had replenished Lan Ze's magic, his magic should have been completely overflowing. However, she clearly remembered that Lan Ze's magic was slightly lacking at the time and was not completely replenished.

Lan Ze hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Ryougi Shiki again.

She had just finished showering, and a few water droplets still lingered on her snow-white skin. Her hair was also slightly damp, and a bath towel accentuated her long, slender legs. She lowered her eyes, watching her toes intertwine and playfully fight each other.

Ryougi Shiki Lan Ze tilted her head slightly, glanced at Aizawa, and said, "That night, Irisviel didn't just replenish your magic power, did she?"

Lan Ze remained silent, as if he had thought of something, and subconsciously lowered his eyes to glance at Ryougi Shiki.

Ryougi Shiki Lan Ze lowered her head slightly, looking at her delicate white feet. After a brief hesitation, a faint smile quickly appeared on her face.

"After the magic replenishment, how did Irisviel continue to help you?"

Lan Ze remained silent.

This is something that's really hard to talk about; even with his thick skin, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Ryougi Shiki gently dried the water droplets from her toes, turned her head slightly to look at him, and whispered in a calm yet alluring voice:

Want to give it a try?

Lan Ze stared blankly at the light on the ceiling.

His pupils slightly lost focus, his expression was serene, and he seemed to be enveloped in a kind of Buddhist aura.

At this point, he was completely in a state of having no desires or wants.

Ryougi Shiki had just gone to the bathroom again. She pushed open the door, walked to the bedside, sat down, and casually wiped the remaining water stains from her feet with a tissue. She glanced at him and said indifferently, "Your quirks are really strange."

Although his tone was no different from usual, it made Lan Ze feel inexplicably ashamed. He retorted, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm just a simple pervert, I don't have any special hobbies."

Is that so?

Ryougi Shiki tilted her head slightly, a strand of hair falling over her shoulder. She briefly recalled the scene from just moments ago and said, "If you didn't like it, why would you lick it—"

"Oh right! Don't you have any clothes?" Lan Ze suddenly exclaimed, interrupting Ryougi Shiki's words.

Ryougi Shiki rarely saw him blush. She looked at the obviously embarrassed boy with the eyes of someone looking at a rare animal, and then nodded gently. "You can go out and buy some clothes tomorrow."

"I'll go find you some pajamas first, wait a moment." After saying that, Lan Ze immediately got out of bed and rushed out of the room.

Watching his disheveled figure hurriedly leave the room, Ryougi Shiki remained silent for a long time. Afterward, she pursed her lips, her jade feet slightly tense, recalling what had just happened.

Then, as if unable to suppress her laughter, a seductive smile curved her lips.

After a while, the door suddenly opened, and Lan Ze walked into the room with a set of pajamas, saying, "Sorry, I only found Aika's pajamas. Will you make do with these for now?"

Ryougi Shiki accepted the pajamas, a light blue set of pajamas and shorts embroidered with hydrangeas, just like Sajyou Manaka, exuding the elegance of Imperial Princess.

After changing into Sajyou Manaka's pajamas, Ryougi Shiki glanced down at herself, shifted slightly awkwardly, and shook her head, saying, "These pajamas are too small."

"Just make do for now. I'll buy you a new set of pajamas tomorrow. You can sleep in these for tonight," Lan Ze said.

Ryougi Shiki looked up at the sky outside the window and said, "It's already dawn."

The light of dawn had quietly fallen upon the earth, and a soft glow shone through the curtains.

Lan Ze smiled and said, "It's alright, it's good to get some rest."

Knock knock.

He had just finished speaking when a soft knock came from outside the door.

Lan Ze's voice faltered, and he held his breath.

He heard the sound of a door opening outside.

"It should be Aika... Wait for me here for a moment." Lan Ze said, then immediately left the room and walked towards the entrance.

Ryougi Shiki tilted her head slightly, gazing at Lan Ze's figure. After a moment of contemplation, she stood up from the bedside and left the room.

As she left the room, she overheard Lan Ze and Sajyou Manaka talking.

"Aika, why did you come so early today?" Lan Ze asked.

"I stayed up a little late last night... By the way, how did you sleep last night?" Sajyou Manaka asked with a smile.

"Hmm... not bad."

"That's good... It seems that thing doesn't have any side effects on men..."

After muttering something to herself, Sajyou Manaka took off her shoes and was about to step into the entryway.

Just then, Lan Ze suddenly called out to her.

"By the way Aika, there's something I'd like to discuss with you..."

Sajyou Manaka stopped in her tracks, turned her head slightly, and glanced at Lan Ze: "There's no need to talk about Irisviel. I have no objection. That woman is quite easy to get along with. Of course, if it were Ryougi Shiki, I definitely wouldn't be able to stand her."

"Oh, right, by the way, if you're asking about Ryougi Shiki, forget it. I don't know where she went. It's a shame she just disappeared like that, but there's nothing I can do about it."

After finishing her Sajyou Manaka looked away and was about to walk into the hall.

But as she turned her gaze away and stepped into the entryway, she seemed to see something, and her body involuntarily stiffened slightly.

"Good morning."

Ryougi Shiki, wearing Sajyou Manaka's pajamas, stood in the entryway with a slight smile on her face and raised her hand in greeting.

Sajyou Manaka stared blankly at the girl standing in the entryway.

A beautiful woman with long, flowing hair came into view. Her skin was fair, and she wore a light blue nightgown embroidered with hydrangeas. Beneath her pajama bottoms, a pair of fair and delicate legs were visible. Her posture was languid, and her eyes and brows exuded the air of a well-bred lady.

If I remember correctly, I think I bought these pajamas last year...?

Why is this woman wearing my pajamas, showing up in my apartment, and even having such a natural, familiar smile?

And... I always felt that smile was full of mockery.

Sajyou Manaka finally snapped out of her daze, unconsciously furrowed her brow, and slowly turned her head to look at Lan Ze.

Although he didn't speak, the meaning conveyed in his eyes was already quite clear.

Lan Ze silently rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

He originally intended to test Aika's reaction first before telling her about Ryougi Shiki.

To his surprise, Sajyou Manaka arrived very early this morning, even before dawn.

"She got lost on her way back yesterday and finally found this place after a lot of trouble. I was just about to tell you about it," Lan Ze said, trying to keep a smile on his face.

Sajyou Manaka finally recovered from her petrification and stared at Ryougi Shiki in disbelief. "You got lost and then came back to me on your own...?"

Ryougi Shiki replied calmly, "We share the same Root, so finding you wouldn't be difficult if I wanted to."

She turned and walked towards the hall, continuing, "Come in first, you're here to prepare breakfast, aren't you?"

Her tone made it seem as if she were the lady of the house, currently entertaining Sajyou Manaka, a guest.

Sajyou Manaka was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. She stomped her foot in anger, glared at Lan Ze, and walked barefoot into the entrance hall.

Lan Ze could only return a helpless look.

We all share the same Root, so why can't we get along peacefully and harmoniously? Fighting and killing are so unpleasant.

With that thought in mind, Lan Ze followed Sajyou Manaka into the kitchen and took a bottle of milk from the refrigerator. "Let me prepare breakfast for you."

Sajyou Manaka ignored him and said coldly, "No need, go comfort your fiancée."

"Oh, then I'll go first." Lan Ze nodded and pretended to turn around.

But suddenly he felt a pair of deep, unfathomable eyes staring at him, making Lan Ze question his very existence.

He coughed lightly and said, "Just kidding, I think I'll stay and help out."

He couldn't figure out Sajyou Manaka's intentions either. If Aika refused to stay with Ryougi Shiki, he could just let her rent a place outside; it wouldn't be that difficult.

"I told you, I don't need your help, and you can't be of any help anyway," Sajyou Manaka waved her hand dismissively. "Go and call Irisviel over to help."

Lan Ze was stunned.

It's rare to see such a young girl getting along so well with another woman, especially since it's only been one night!

"Could Irisviel have given her some kind of mind-altering drug or something...?" Lan Ze thought to himself.

But he was still a little uneasy, so much so that he couldn't help but glance at Sajyou Manaka a couple more times.

As if sensing Lan Ze's worry, Sajyou Manaka said indifferently, "Don't worry, I'm not going to fight that woman in my own apartment."

Lan Ze nodded. "Okay, I'll be right back."

After saying that, he turned and left the restaurant.

Ryougi Shiki was leisurely sipping her morning tea on the sofa when she noticed Lan Ze's gaze. She raised her eyes to look at him, her Lan Ze eyes smiling, and said softly, "Having a cup of tea in the morning can give me more energy when I'm doing things."

Lan Ze hesitated for a moment, then walked up to her and whispered, "Don't get into a conflict with Aika later. I'll be right back."

Ryougi Shiki lowered her head as she brewed tea, her voice calm. "Don't worry, I don't like fighting."
