Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

He turned to leave, but just as he took a step, he suddenly felt a subtle ripple coming from the distant horizon.

Merlin paused slightly, as if sensing something, and suddenly turned his head to look in a certain direction.

His eyes were slightly unfocused, staring intently in that direction.

The Singularity of Fuyuki... Merlin gazed intently in that direction, a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a brief moment of staring, he quickly muttered to himself, "Another Singularity. Goetia really has nothing better to do than challenge Humanity's Order...?"

But never mind, my mission is complete. I'll leave the rest to Chaldea.

After all, they're the experts when it comes to correcting Singularity.

Thinking of this, Merlin withdrew his gaze and was about to leave.

At this moment, he suddenly paused slightly, slowly turned his head, and his gaze fell on Lan Ze, who was fast asleep.

Speaking of which, it seems like Lan Ze is always there whenever there's Singularity... and every Singularity is always resolved very easily.

While Tiamat and others also contributed, Lan Ze's role should not be overlooked.

After all... the reason Tiamat, the Princess of the Root, and the others went to correct the Singularity was precisely because Lan Ze was there, wasn't it?

"Ugh... and this guy just got me beaten up..."

As Merlin thought of this, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up, and he narrowed his eyes, a hint of pleasure showing in his usually indifferent pupils.

He pulled out a staff from somewhere and tapped it on the ground.

"Britain Magecraft - Artoria with A-rank A-rank, grow up quickly!"

As the Magecraft incantation was cast, the ground rippled as if on a calm lake, and the magic quietly spread out.

Magecraft called Dreamscape quietly enveloped the entire room, plunging Lan Ze into an even deeper sleep.

This is one of Merlin's Magecraft. He once used this method to accept Gilgamesh's Heroic Spirit Summoning and allow his spirit to descend upon Uruk.

And now, he can also use this method to "help" Lan Ze accept the Heroic Spirit Summoning of other Master.

Of course, whether or not Lan Ze accepts the summons is up to him.

That's all I can do.

Merlin glanced one last time at the sleeping Lan Ze, a faint smile appearing on his face. He then turned and quietly disappeared from the room, concealing his accomplishment.

"If I see Merlin again, I'm definitely going to hang his picture outside my apartment for three days to ward off evil spirits!"

On her way home Sajyou Manaka was still muttering about what had just happened, seemingly still feeling a bit unsatisfied.

She vented all her pent-up frustration on Merlin.

If you're attacking other people, you have to worry about whether you'll kill them, but you don't have to worry about Merlin. He's a nightmare; his combat power is average, but his ability to escape is top-notch.

You don't need to worry about killing him when you beat him up; just beat him up without hesitation.

Thanks to Merlin, Sajyou Manaka felt that all the gloom she had felt these past few days had completely vanished.

Ryougi Shiki gave a soft "hmm" and didn't say anything.

Sajyou Manaka paused for a moment, then, as if suddenly remembering something, turned to look at Ryougi Shiki with suspicion. "Why did you also help beat him up?"

Logically speaking, Merlin shouldn't have offended Ryougi Shiki, right?

Ryougi Shiki was also taken aback for a moment.

Yeah, why would I beat up Merlin?

She thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "There's no particular reason, I just feel like he deserves a beating."

She had no grudge against Merlin, and besides, if it weren't for Merlin, she probably wouldn't be here now.

Because Lan Ze's confession at that time stemmed entirely from a beautiful accident.

It wasn't Merlin's conspiracy. Now, after the Holy Grail War ended, she's probably still living alone in that small house, leading a monotonous life day after day.

But things are different now. The very night she arrived, she began her interesting daily routine.

However, she still wanted to beat up Merlin.

She couldn't explain why, but as she just said, she just felt Merlin deserved a beating.

"Aaa," Tiamat suddenly whispered.

Ryougi Shiki tilted her head, not understanding.

"Do you feel a little embarrassed chasing after someone like this?" Sajyou Manaka understood Tiamat's words and looked at this seemingly gentle woman with some disbelief.

"Have you forgotten how Merlin harmed your children before?"

Tiamat, upon hearing this, said softly, "I know... but I still feel a little sorry."

Ryougi Shiki remained silent for a moment, then looked at Tiamat with a hint of emotion in her eyes.

It's truly remarkable that she, the Creation Mother Goddess, could maintain a certain level of kindness even when facing someone like Merlin.

Upon hearing Sajyou Manaka, seeing Tiamat's somewhat hesitant expression, unusually offered words of comfort, "Since you've already done the beating, why think about this now?"

"I still regret not beating him up more," Sajyou Manaka continued.

Ryougi Shiki nodded in agreement. "I'm also a little regretful."

If she were to see Merlin now, she would definitely launch another attack.

Tiamat hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "He'll get another beating when he gets back."

"What do you mean?" Sajyou Manaka tilted her head in confusion, a strand of light golden hair gently falling onto her face. Her features were delicate, her small mouth thin and rosy. Although she was young, she was already a graceful young beauty.

"I left the mark of the Sea of Life on him," Tiamat Language filled with embarrassment.

"After you go back, several Lahmu will appear. Lahmu will beat him up before they disappear."

Sajyou Manaka: "..."

Ryougi Shiki: "..."

Being naturally naive is terrifying... Two girls with Root surprisingly shared the same thought.

The three chatted idly and unknowingly returned to the apartment entrance.

Their relationship seemed to be much better than before, and in a sense, they should thank Merlin for this, because they had reached a rare consensus on beating up Merlin today, and their cooperation had made their relationship much more harmonious.

Sajyou Manaka stood at the apartment door, turning the key to open it while glancing at Tiamat's somewhat apologetic expression.

She tiptoed, reached out and gently patted Tiamat's head, saying, "You don't need to feel sorry; on the contrary, you did a great job!"

"To reward your outstanding performance, I've decided to give you a huge surprise." Sajyou Manaka said this, she suddenly revealed a mysterious smile.

"Aaa?" Tiamat tilted her head, her two horns swaying, and stared at Sajyou Manaka with a puzzled look in her bright eyes.

Perhaps because she had just experienced a one-sided chase, Tiamat's hair was disheveled, her dark hair framing an extremely beautiful and gentle face. Her small mouth was alluring and supple, and her eyes were large and bright. From the side, she had a three-dimensional beauty.

At the same time, probably hearing the door open, Irisviel and Ereshkigal walked to the entrance together, both looking slightly guilty.

But at that moment, no one noticed their expressions.

"On my way back just now, I thought of a modified Magic Potion."

Sajyou Manaka deliberately glanced at the two of them, then at Irisviel and Ereshkigal standing in the entryway. Noticing their unwavering gazes fixed on her, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she continued:

"I've been researching Magic Potion, searching for Magic Potion that can break the curse on Lan Ze caused by the Holy Lance, but I haven't been able to come up with a good solution."

"But while I was beating up Merlin just now, I suddenly thought of a way."

Ryougi Shiki frowned slightly and said, "Just give me the result."

"That Magic Potion can't restore Lan Ze's body to its original state, but it can reverse time within his body."

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, everyone present brightened up slightly.

Ereshkigal remembered the seemingly well-behaved and adorable child from Britain, and her eyes instantly lit up. "Does this mean we can turn him back into that well-behaved child?"

"Aaa?!" Tiamat turned to stare at Sajyou Manaka, a glimmer of light appearing in her gentle eyes.

Ever since the last Britain incident, she had wanted to refine the young Lan Ze again, but she had been struggling to find a way. Now that Sajyou Manaka suddenly said that she could refine the kind of Magic Potion that could reverse time in the body, it's no wonder that Tiamat was so excited.

Sajyou Manaka glanced at the expectant looks in their eyes, then looked away with satisfaction and smiled, "Don't rush, I need two more days to prepare before I can start refining the Magic Potion."

After she finished speaking, she walked into the hall through the entrance. Scathach seemed to have gone out for a walk and did not see her in the hall.

Sajyou Manaka glanced around again and asked curiously, "Where's Lan Ze?"

"Is he still sleeping in his room?"

"Hmm, I guess I'm just too tired." Ereshkigal nodded gently, but quietly looked away, her pretty cheeks flushed slightly.

Irisviel stood quietly with her head bowed, seemingly also somewhat shy.

Sajyou Manaka didn't notice anything unusual about the two of them and walked straight into the room.

At this moment, a black-haired boy was lying on the headboard, seemingly in a deep sleep.

"So she really is asleep?" Ereshkigal muttered to herself, then glanced furtively at Irisviel.

I wonder how long Irisviel had been in this room before she arrived... that it could have exhausted him like this?

"Wrong..."

At that moment, after gazing at the sleeping boy for a moment, Ryougi Shiki suddenly uttered a soft sentence.

Is his spirit present in the room?

The room fell silent for a moment.

"The spirit isn't in the room...?"

Irisviel repeated, "So, he's not sleeping right now?"

"She's sleeping, but..." Ereshkigal leaned over the headboard, carefully observed her for a moment, then frowned slightly, "Her consciousness is no longer in her body."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked puzzled.

Irisviel found it even more strange.

They were chatting together just a short while ago, and now, his consciousness is no longer in his body?

"He's been put under Magecraft that traps him in Dreamscape," Sajyou Manaka suddenly said softly.

Almost instantly, the same name echoed in everyone's mind.

--Merlin.

"..."

A brief silence fell over the room.

After a long silence, Tiamat suddenly broke it softly, asking, "Where is he now?"

Ryougi Shiki turned her head to look in a certain direction, pondered for a moment, and then said softly, "Perhaps in Fuyuki...?"

Merlin could sense that Fuyuki had developed Singularity, and she could naturally sense it as well.

But--

If Lan Ze is unwilling to accept the summon, no Master can summon him.

In other words, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should be back before tonight.

"I'll go easy on you today," Sajyou Manaka said quietly.

Almost instantly, everyone nodded silently, including Tiamat, who had initially felt a little embarrassed about beating up Merlin.

"That's it. Sorry, I need to go back and lay low for a while. Don't come looking for me unless it's absolutely necessary... And, whatever you do, absolutely do not reveal my location!"

At this moment, Merlin stood in front of the Chaldea corridor, rubbing his arms as if feeling a chill, and looked at Roman standing in front of him, giving him a very serious warning.

Merlin had felt a chill creeping over him ever since he returned.

As for the reason... to be honest, although he knew it, he didn't quite understand it.

I was simply letting Lan Ze sleep a little deeper, and then sending his spirit to Fuyuki. It wouldn't cause him any harm, so why are they all so agitated...?

Roman looked at the red mark on Merlin's face, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Are you alright?"
