Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking
And in the end, their efforts were not in vain.
She finally summoned the Servant she wanted.
I never imagined that little girl would grow up to be so beautiful... Lan Ze looked at Karen with some emotion, and couldn't help but raise his hand to gently rub her head.
"Big brother..."
Karen lowered her head shyly, her eyes slightly narrowed. Under Lan Ze's caress, she felt as if she were sinking into soft cotton, wanting to relive the wonderful feeling of being touched on the head before.
After a long pause, Lan Ze withdrew his hand, glanced at the system interface, and then said, "I have to go back, Karen."
"Huh?" Karen was clearly taken aback.
"I am your Master, you know?" she said. "You want to leave your Master?"
Lan Ze glanced at her. "We're not in Master-Servant Relationship right now."
Karen paused slightly, then subconsciously glanced at the back of her hand.
No Command Spells were formed.
I'm not his Master?!
Karen looked up incredulously. "Why? You weren't summoned by me?"
This falls into an area where my knowledge is lacking... After pondering for a moment, Lan Ze shook his head. "I don't know the reason either."
Maybe it's the system playing tricks?
Thinking this over, Lan Ze opened the system menu and said, "Anyway, I'll come visit you again when I have time. I have to go now, someone's calling me."
He could feel someone calling to him in reality, trying to wake him up.
After a brief moment of surprise, Karen's gentle smile returned, "It's no use leaving now, big brother."
"I will definitely summon you back. Look forward to it."
After Karen finished speaking, Lan Ze's figure had already disappeared into the church.
She stared blankly in the direction where Lan Ze had disappeared, then gently clenched the cross in her hand, as if a trace of warmth still remained on that cold cross.
Just then, footsteps sounded behind them.
Karen turned her head slightly and saw a girl in a school uniform come into view.
She was a very beautiful girl, a "star" who would be the center of attention wherever she went. Her twin ponytails swayed gently in the morning breeze, and beneath her skirt were a pair of long, slender legs encased in black stockings. Wearing school uniform shoes, she walked gracefully toward the church.
Karen quickly composed herself and revealed a gentle, pitiful smile:
Good morning, Senior Tohsaka.
She glanced at the other girl at the church entrance, smiled, and continued:
"And good morning, Senior Matou."
Lan Ze slowly opened his eyes, startled awake from his deathbed.
Sajyou Manaka was lying on the edge of the bed, tilting her head to look at him.
Did you have a nightmare?
Her voice was clear and soft, which gradually calmed the person's previously anxious heart.
Lan Ze took off his virtual reality glasses, and in his field of vision appeared a girl in a Western-style dress. She looked as delicate and cute as a porcelain doll, and her pair of bright blue eyes made a deep impression at first glance.
"It wasn't a nightmare... I don't even know if it was a dream or not." Lan Ze rubbed his forehead and looked up at the sky outside.
It seems like several hours have passed since he put on the virtual reality glasses last night; it's already daylight outside.
Sajyou Manaka narrowed her eyes, looked at Lan Ze suspiciously for a few moments, and then unconsciously frowned.
"What's wrong...?" Lan Ze seemed to realize something and asked subconsciously.
"I have a feeling you're hiding something from me." As Sajyou Manaka spoke, she leaned forward like a cat and gently sniffed him, as if she were sniffing out some scent.
"What are you doing?" Lan Ze gently pushed her face away.
For some reason, he always felt a strange sense of guilt when the other person sniffed his scent like that.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to see if you smelled like any other women," Sajyou Manaka with a squinty smile.
Lan Ze paused slightly, feeling a little guilty. "Then... did you smell something?"
Sajyou Manaka slowly shook her head.
Lan Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
"The scent of women on you is too complex; I can't tell whose it is," Sajyou Manaka continued.
Lan Ze: "..."
Seeing Lan Ze's guilty look, Sajyou Manaka then revealed a meaningful smile and snorted, "Hmph, you look quite guilty."
"That's because you've been smelling other people's scent all the time, so you're bound to feel a little embarrassed!" Lan Ze explained.
"Eh~" Sajyou Manaka deliberately dragged out the tone, glancing sideways at Lan Ze.
"It's just smelling something, why would you be embarrassed? You're clearly feeling guilty, like you've let me down or something."
She had just finished speaking when she saw Lan Ze suddenly lean in front of her and gently sniff her scent from her chest.
Sajyou Manaka paused for a moment, then immediately tried to push his face away shyly, whispering, "W-what are you doing?"
"I'm checking if you have any other scent on you." Lan Ze mimicked what Sajyou Manaka had just said, while leaning close to her chest and gently inhaling the girl's delicate fragrance.
He quickly moved behind Sajyou Manaka, his warm breath gently brushing against the girl's shoulder, causing Sajyou Manaka to tremble slightly as if an electric current had struck her.
"Are you embarrassed?" Lan Ze asked with a smile.
"Who, who said that!" The little girl, unusually concerned with saving face, maintained her smile.
"I just have slightly sensitive ears, I'm not nervous..."
As she spoke, her gaze followed Lan Ze intently, her beautiful eyes sparkling with extreme shyness.
"If you're not nervous, why are you keeping your head down?" Lan Ze gave Sajyou Manaka a meaningful look.
The girl lowered her head slightly, her pale golden hair falling over her lovely face. She shyly brushed the strands of hair from her forehead, but tried to remain calm, saying lightly, "Seeing you makes me angry."
Lan Ze said "Oh," then leaned closer behind her, sniffing for a while before suddenly asking, "Did you sleep with Irisviel last night?"
Sajyou Manaka was clearly taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Lan Ze: "You could tell that too?"
"It's quite obvious." Lan Ze smiled. "Irisviel's scent is a bit different from yours."
"You can even distinguish the scent on a woman?"
Sajyou Manaka's shy expression suddenly turned somewhat resentful as she stared at Lan Ze with a melancholy look, and continued:
"Do you prefer mature women like Irisviel to lolis?"
Lan Ze was taken aback, then shook his head. "I've never liked lolis."
Sajyou Manaka eyes immediately dimmed.
Lan Ze gently squeezed Sajyou Manaka's soft little hand and said earnestly, "But it's different if it's Aika."
"You're the first person I've ever made an exception for, and that alone proves your charm."
Sajyou Manaka paused for a moment, then raised her eyes, her beautiful eyes revealing joy.
But that joy vanished quickly, replaced by a soft snort, "You said the same thing to everyone else, didn't you?"
"I have never said anything like that to anyone else," Lan Ze said confidently.
After all, the only big loli in the family is Sajyou Manaka, and the only big loli in all of Beast is Aika...
This is an extremely rare breed!
Upon hearing Sajyou Manaka's eyes inadvertently revealed a hint of joy, Lan Ze took the opportunity to reach out and gently put his arm around the girl's slender waist.
Sajyou Manaka did not resist; she lowered her head and gently rested her forehead against his chest.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was filled with ambiguity and sweetness. Sajyou Manaka couldn't help but squint her eyes, quietly enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.
"Stare--"
Just then, she vaguely heard a cold, eerie gaze peeking through the crack in the door from behind. When Sajyou Manaka turned around, she found Tiamat lying by the door, watching the intimate behavior between the child and another child.
Sajyou Manaka immediately pushed Lan Ze away, coughed lightly, regained her composure, turned to look behind her, and said calmly, "What kind of peeping tom are you, Tiamat?"
Tiamat pushed open the door, and only then did Sajyou Manaka realize that the doorway had been crowded with people.
Ryougi Shiki stood at the front, her beautiful eyes smiling, and glanced at Sajyou Manaka before smiling and saying, "If I remember correctly, someone said last night that they hoped no one would disturb Lan Ze's rest these next two days."
"And she said it with such conviction," Ereshkigal muttered.
Irisviel remained silent, staying quietly in the corner.
Sajyou Manaka snapped out of her daze and smiled, "What I said before was that I hoped you wouldn't come into his room these next couple of days, so as not to disturb his rest."
Ryougi Shiki raised an eyebrow slightly. "And what about you?"
Sajou, the Double Standard Aika, paused, puffed out her small chest, and a cute smile appeared on her face, "Except for me."
Sajyou Manaka was eventually taken away, or more accurately, taken to prepare breakfast.
Lan Ze raised his hand and yawned lazily. Listening to the faint sounds of arguing coming from inside the restaurant, a knowing smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
Judging from this, Aika doesn't seem to have any intention of "kicking" Shiki out. Although they still argue from time to time, everything is fine as long as they don't fight.
Thinking of this, Lan Ze's gaze fell on Irisviel, who was standing at the doorway, seemingly worried about something.
"Irisviel, what's wrong?" Lan Ze looked up at Irisviel, whose busty figure was quite voluptuous. Her outfit today was completely different from yesterday's; she was wearing a dark red top and a dark red knee-length skirt embroidered with cherry blossoms.
Her long silver hair was styled in a middle part and draped naturally, setting off her goddess-like, stunningly beautiful face.
This hairstyle actually requires a high level of attractiveness; not everyone can pull it off. Only Irisviel manages to pull it off without looking too out of place.
Seeing that the woman did not respond, Lan Ze tentatively called out again, "Irisviel?"
Irisviel then snapped out of her reverie, looked up at Lan Ze, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Actually, I had a very strange dream yesterday..."
"A dream?" Lan Ze was taken aback.
Was her absent-mindedness just now because of that dream?
"Let's go in first," Lan Ze said.
After Lan Ze finished speaking, he looked at Irisviel, who was standing at the door and seemed a little hesitant, then slapped his forehead and said, "Let's go to the living room."
I almost forgot, the Magic Potion's effects in this room haven't worn off yet. Irisviel is different from everyone else... Among the people in this apartment, she's the only one who can be considered "normal."
In the living room.
Lan Ze poured Irisviel a glass of hot water, and looking at her worried face, asked, "What kind of dream was it?"
Irisviel took a small sip of hot water, then said softly, "Actually..."
She gave a general account of last night's dream, Lan Ze listened with a thoughtful expression.
"You dreamed about Illya...?"
Irisviel nodded slightly, and looking at Lan Ze's thoughtful expression, asked doubtfully, "Do you know that child?"
I don't know her, but I think you should... Lan Ze nodded slightly. "Haven't you heard of the name Illya?"
Irisviel shook her head. "I dreamt yesterday that it was the first time I heard that child's name."
It seems that when Yubis, the central AI of Einsbern Castle, used Irisviel's life essence to create Illya, she didn't inform her, which is why she didn't know it was her child?
Lan Ze hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke, "That's your child."
Irisviel suddenly looked up at the boy. "My child...?"
She was a little confused. She hadn't done anything wrong, so why did she suddenly have a child?
"Hmm... this matter is a bit complicated, and it may take some time to explain."
Lan Ze spoke, he glanced at Sajyou Manaka, who had somehow ended up sitting next to him, and then continued:
"She is an artificial human created by Yubis using your life essence, so theoretically she is your daughter."
