Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

If I'm not mistaken, he should be the older brother... so why did he disappear so suddenly?

Karen raised her head slightly, gazing at the dazzling chandelier beneath the ceiling, her eyes becoming somewhat unfocused.

On the other side, Tohsaka Rin inadvertently looked away and slightly pursed her lips.

Although we don't know why Karen wants to summon King Arthur, she will definitely be the one who succeeds in the end.

The Ruby pendant she gave him back then will become the key to summoning King Arthur!

Tohsaka Rin thought of this, she subconsciously glanced at Matou Sakura, gently patted her sister's shoulder, and whispered in her ear, "Sakura, why did you want to summon a Caster?"

"Are you trying to summon King Arthur— "

Matou Sakura interrupted her sister with a smile, saying softly, "If you want to summon Caster, I won't fight you for it."

Tohsaka Rin paused slightly, then blushed and quickly corrected herself, "Actually, I don't particularly want to summon a Caster, but I just think it would be best if one of us could summon one."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Matou Sakura, who had a faint smile on her face, and felt a little relieved.

When she first heard Matou Sakura say that the Servant most wanted to summon was "Caster," she thought her younger sister shared the same idea.

Judging from this, am I overthinking things?

When Caster brought Sakura back, Sakura was already unconscious, so she probably didn't know who brought her back.

Thinking of this, Tohsaka Rin took a sip of her black tea and felt a slight sense of relief.

At that moment, Tohsaka Rin suddenly felt as if a gaze was fixed on her.

She subconsciously looked up and found the silver-haired loli sitting opposite her smiling at her.

Tohsaka Rin hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Illya, is there something you need?"

"It's nothing, I just think Rin is really cute," Illya said with a smile.

Tohsaka Rin's cheeks flushed slightly, and she stammered, "W-what are you saying all of a sudden?!"

Illya simply smiled, her eyes casually lowering.

A hint of darkness shone through those bright and captivating red eyes.

Indeed, summoning King Arthur requires Holy Relic.

However, if it's her, she can be summoned even without Holy Relic.

Because Yubis said that her mother left with King Arthur a long time ago.

Therefore, it must be her who was able to summon King Arthur this time.

As for them... Illya pursed her lips, barely suppressing the laughter that was about to burst out.

She had won from the very beginning.

Chaldea.

Outside, snow and ice were falling, but inside Chaldea, it felt exceptionally warm.

Roman sat in front of the monitor, staring at a certain video feed, frowning in deep thought.

After a while, he got up, left the room, and went straight to the corridor.

His gaze fell directly on the white-haired mage in front of him, who was shaking his head and didn't look very serious.

"Merlin," Roman called out.

Merlin turned around and smiled, "Oh, it's you. Did you come out to find me on purpose?"

"But you noticed me as soon as I arrived in Chaldea, that's impressive." Merlin smiled, giving Roman a meaningful look.

"I'm starting to wonder if you have Clairvoyance."

Roman's lips twitched slightly, but he maintained his smile, "You're overthinking it... Rather, I have a favor to ask you."

"Okay, as long as I don't have to go find Lan Ze, everything else is fine," Merlin smiled.

Roman maintained his smile, and he and Merlin exchanged glances without getting tired of each other.

The sound of wind and snow outside could be faintly heard. After looking at each other for a long time, Merlin sighed and shrugged, "So you really want me to go find him?"

Roman nodded slightly. "A stronger magical fluctuation just came from Tokyo. I want to know exactly how many people live there... but directly investigating might displease Princess of the Root and the others, so I'd like to ask for your help..."

"Then why don't you just send Ritsuka and Mashu?" Merlin said. "You probably don't know, but actually, everyone, including Lan Ze, wants to beat me up. If I go to them now, I'll definitely get revenge."

So he did know what was going on... Roman maintained his smile, saying helplessly, "Ritsuka and Mashu left Chaldea yesterday, and they probably won't be back for another three or four days, so..."

Merlin shook his head firmly. "No! Absolutely not! This concerns my life!"

Silence fell once again in the corridor.

Roman was somewhat helpless, but he didn't want to pressure Merlin, so he was in a dilemma.

Just then, footsteps sounded behind them. Da Vinci appeared at the end of the corridor, a friendly smile on his face. "Don't worry, Mr. Merlin. I just checked, and only Lan Ze is in that apartment right now. If you want to go, now's the only time."

Roman paused slightly, then glanced at Da Vinci instinctively.

But Da Vinci simply winked at him, a hint of cunning in her beautiful eyes.

Merlin glanced at Da Vinci and scoffed, "Miss Da Vinci, I'm not stupid, you know. You couldn't fool a three-year-old with something like that."

He paused for a moment, then said, "But you've reminded me that they can't be home all the time. I just need to check on them when they're out."

"Merlin ..." Roman looked at the man with a mixture of emotion and surprise.

He never expected that this carefree, white-haired monk would actually be willing to help; he had originally had absolutely no expectations.

"Your eyes seem to say, 'That always-carefree white-haired mage actually agreed to help!' It's such a surprising look, it's really annoying," Merlin said, shrugging. "But what can I do? I've lied so many times I'm starting to feel bad."

"A lie...?" Roman was slightly taken aback.

"It's alright, it's alright," Merlin waved his hand with a smile, "Go back to watching your True Magic Girl Merlin... I'll go investigate."

After saying this, the white-haired monk disappeared into the corridor.

In the lobby.

After inviting Scathach into the apartment, the group sat in the lobby and continued discussing the matter Irisviel had just mentioned.

Lan Ze handed a cup of black tea to Scathach, then said, "Master, you seem to have taught me for a while by infiltrating into Dreamscape, right?"

"What if Irisviel's dreams were caused by someone secretly plotting something?"

Scathach nodded slightly, but quickly shook her head. She took a sip of her black tea and said softly, "That's possible, but I wasn't with Irisviel last night, so I don't know."

"If I remember correctly, Irisviel was resting with Aika last night, right?" Ereshkigal sipped her black tea in the corner, her bright red eyes fixed on Sajyou Manaka.

"Didn't Aika discover anything?"

Sajyou Manaka gently shook her head. "No one performed Magecraft on Irisviel last night."

She has a keen sense for Magecraft; she can detect anyone who gets too close.

Therefore, she was certain that no one had approached Irisviel last night.

Ryougi Shiki pondered for a moment and said, "I don't think it was the work of Magecraft. Perhaps it was just a dream?"

Lan Ze then turned his gaze to Tiamat, who was silently sipping her red tea with both hands, wanting to hear her opinion.

Tiamat also turned her gaze to the child, tilting her head slightly. "Aaa?"

She had an adorable, clueless look on her face, as if to say, "I'm just a Creation Mother Goddess, I don't know anything."

"It's alright... you continue eating, Mother," Lan Ze said quietly.

After a long silence in the hall, Lan Ze suddenly said, "If Merlin were here, that would be wonderful."

Merlin is a nightmare and a master of illusion. Although he usually seems unreliable and carefree, he is still a quasi- King-Servant. If it were him, perhaps he could answer Irisviel's questions.

Why does Irisviel dream about Illya even though she doesn't know Illya?

"Merlin?" Sajyou Manaka repeated, then a dangerous smile appeared on her face. "He had better not show his face in front of me."

"Aaa." Tiamat nodded in agreement.

Even the usually good-natured Ereshkigal's blood pressure spiked upon hearing Merlin's name, and she said angrily, "If he dares to show his face, I'll definitely give him a good punch!"

If it weren't for Merlin, how could there be so many more people in the hall right now?

It can be said that all of this was caused by Merlin.

Scathach looked around at the group with some confusion, then couldn't help but smile with amusement.

She suddenly found herself quite looking forward to seeing what interesting things would happen if Merlin actually showed up there.

"Actually, I had an experience last night that I don't know if it was a dream," Lan Ze suddenly said.

"You dreamed about Illya too?" Irisviel asked instinctively, looking up at me.

Lan Ze shook his head, about to speak.

At that moment, Sajyou Manaka suddenly said, "Wait a minute, let me completely isolate the room to prevent anyone from spying on us or eavesdropping."

After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands together.

In an instant, ripples seemed to spread outwards from the center of Sajyou Manaka.

After a long pause, Sajyou Manaka picked up her teacup again, took a small sip, and smiled, "I've already masked our presence. No one will be able to detect our existence or eavesdrop on our conversation."

Scathach glanced at the big loli with a touch of wistfulness.

"Aika's Magecraft skills have surpassed the vast majority of Magecraft."

Sajyou Manaka shook her head modestly. "Compared to a warrior as experienced as my master, I only know a few trivial tricks."

The other person was Lan Ze's teacher, so she felt it was best to leave a good impression.

"You seem to know Magecraft from the Age of Gods?" Scathach asked.

Sajyou Manaka slightly and said modestly, "I know a little bit about both Divine Era Magic and modern Magecraft."

Scathach looked thoughtful, then quickly returned her gaze to Lan Ze and asked, "What kind of dream were you talking about?"

"Actually, last night, I seemed to appear in Fuyuki several years in the future," Lan Ze said.

"Fuyuki several years later...?"

Sajyou Manaka gently put down her teacup, raised her eyelids, and gazed at Lan Ze, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt.

"If I remember correctly, you seemed to have fallen asleep wearing virtual reality glasses last night... Is that related?"

"Or were they summoned by someone?"

Ereshkigal rested her chin on her hand, her bright red eyes fixed on Lan Ze, her gaze filled with confusion.

Lan Ze shook his head and said, "I'm not sure if it's a dream or not."

He remembered that after putting on the virtual reality glasses yesterday, there were no images at first, so he fell asleep while waiting.

When I woke up, I saw Karen.

That was Karen after she had grown up, which is enough to show that at least ten years had passed since they were there.

"Have you seen Illya?" Irisviel asked with a hint of expectation in her voice, her bright red eyes fixed on Lan Ze.

Lan Ze shook his head helplessly. "I left shortly after being summoned yesterday and didn't go to Einsbern Castle."

That said, when I saw Illya before, she was still asleep. I wonder if she has awakened after all these years?

And why would Irisviel dream about Illya...? She'd never even seen that big little girl before, had she?

Ding-dong.

While Lan Ze was still pondering, he suddenly heard the doorbell ring outside.

He snapped out of his reverie, glanced at Sajyou Manaka and the others who were engaged in a lively discussion, and stood up, saying, "I'll go open the door."

After saying that, he left the hall and quickly arrived at the door, where he pushed it open and looked inside.

"Hi." Merlin smiled and raised his hand in a wave.

Lan Ze was taken aback. "How did you end up here?"

The implication of his words was: How dare you come here?

This is like jumping straight into the final boss's dungeon at the very beginning of a game, before you've even leveled up. It's practically a free win.
