Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking Chapter 180

Illya thought for a moment and said, "Eighteen years old."

This kid is actually eighteen... I can't believe it... Lan Ze silently complained to himself.

"I have a feeling you're thinking about something really rude," Illya muttered, frowning slightly.

Lan Ze smiled gently, looking at the girl lying on his lap, and said, "It's just your imagination."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Illya's calves. She had been lying on the bed without any regard for her image since she returned, completely unlike her elegant demeanor when she was outside, and her clothes were slightly disheveled.

Lan Ze reminded him in an adult-like tone, "By the way, even at home, it's best to pay a little attention to your appearance."

Illya frowned slightly, clearly displeased. "Maintaining an image in the room right now is too tiring."

"And there was no one else in the room," she continued.

"Am I not an outsider?" Lan Ze asked.

"You're the older brother, you have nothing to do with outsiders," Illya said matter-of-factly.

Mentioning this, Lan Ze suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, do you know about my relationship with Irisviel?"

"I know, you two are lovers." Illya nodded matter-of-factly.

"Then you shouldn't call me big brother." Lan Ze shook his head. "You should call me father."

"But I'm not your child."

Illya frowned in displeasure, climbed out of Lan Ze's arms, sat down in front of him, and said, "It's fine if Yubis teaches me, but why do you have to teach me too?"

"I'm doing this for your own good," Lan Ze said earnestly.

Illya snorted, "That's what you say, but actually you just happened to be caught spying on me, so you wanted to teach me a lesson, right?"

Lan Ze shook his head. "I wasn't secretly watching you."

"But if you hadn't been secretly looking at my legs, how would you have known my clothes were disheveled?" Illya retorted.

Lan Ze: "..."

This Illya's logic is so clear; if it were Aika, she'd probably be furious by now.

"Shut up! Children shouldn't interrupt when adults are talking!" Lan Ze pulled out his trump card.

However, Illya had clearly found a way to counterattack. A hint of teasing appeared in her eyes as she squinted and smiled, "You were definitely peeking just now, weren't you, big brother?"

"Do you like me?" she suddenly asked.

"I just happened to glance at it and noticed the problem before I pointed it out to you." Lan Ze did not reply.

"Huh? Is that really true?" Illya's smooth legs were slightly together. She tilted her head, a strand of silver hair slipping down her shoulder, and looked at Lan Ze with a doubtful gaze.

Lan Ze was starting to feel the strain. He stood up and said in a deep voice, "Since you're summoning Servant tomorrow, you should get some rest tonight. I won't disturb you any longer."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Suddenly, Illya tugged at his sleeve from behind and said in a clear voice, "Big brother, why don't you stay tonight?"

Lan Ze shook his head. "If we don't go back now, Sakura will worry too. I'm Sakura's Servant now."

"Then all I have to do is leave her and become my Servant."

As if it were the most natural thing in the world, Illya grabbed Lan Ze 'Lan Ze clothes with her two slender, white hands, then naturally pressed her petite body against his back, bringing her small mouth close to his ear and whispering:

"Since you can be Mom's Servant, then I should be able to be too. And what Sakura can give you, I can give you as well."

"... There will be extra compensation too! How about it?"

Lan Ze turned his head and looked at Illya's cute little face, his gaze lingering on her bright smile for a moment.

For some reason, he suddenly had a very bad feeling.

"It will definitely be a surprising and special compensation, how about it?"

As Illya finished speaking, she quietly moved around to stand in front of Lan Ze. When she looked up, a mysterious smile appeared on her face, and her red eyes held an indescribable allure, so much so that Lan Ze's gaze was involuntarily drawn to her moist red eyes.

Illya gently reached out and cupped Lan Ze's head in her hands, as if she wanted to pull his head into her arms.

However, there was still a height difference between the two, making Illya's hug particularly difficult, and Lan Ze had no choice but to slightly bend his knees to accommodate her performance.

However, when Lan Ze's forehead rested against Illya's chest in her embrace, there was no cushioning, so the impact of his forehead produced a dull thud.

The previously ambiguous atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.

Lan Ze raised his head, gazing silently at Illya, and softly called out, "Illya."

"What is it, big brother?" Illya asked with a smile.

"Just say what's on your mind, don't tease me!" Lan Ze broke free from Illya's embrace and glanced at her.

"What do you mean, 'just kidding'?" Illya looked at her as if to say, "I don't understand what you're talking about at all."

"What kind of extra compensation are you talking about?" Lan Ze asked.

"Hmm... I haven't decided yet..." Illya pressed her index finger to her lips, thought for a moment, and said, "How about I treat you to a big meal?!"

"Or we could skip the big meal and eat something else—"

Lan Ze looked at the big loli who was smiling at him, picked her up in his arms, and Illya's teasing voice stopped abruptly, staring at Lan Ze in surprise.

"Big... Big brother?"

"What's wrong? Didn't you say that becoming your Servant would give me special compensation? Are you having second thoughts now?" Lan Ze looked down at the big loli, deliberately putting on a fierce look.

"That's what I said, but only if you sign a contract with me first." Illya had recovered from her initial surprise, and smiled with narrowed eyes. "Do you want to sign a contract with me now?"

Lan Ze was at a loss with this big loli, so he simply threw her onto the bed and said, "I'm not interested in lolis!"

"Tch, Caster's such a coward," Illya sighed, but secretly she felt a sense of relief.

If Lan Ze were to actually take action now, she wouldn't know what the best course of action would be.

The other person is her mother's lover; she can't possibly lay a hand on her mother's lover, can she...?

That's not cowardice, that's a bottom line... Lan Ze mentally mocked himself, saying, "Get a good rest tonight, and summon my Servant tomorrow."

Illya was, after all, Irisviel's daughter, and he felt that if he really did something to Illya... it wouldn't be very good.

And most importantly--

Lan Ze didn't believe that Illya was serious about what she had just said.

Illya watched as Lan Ze turned to leave, her bright smile slowly fading. Her voice lowered, and she said softly, "It may sound like a joke, but I'm serious about signing the contract, okay, big brother?"

Lan Ze paused slightly, turning to look at her. "Actually, I don't necessarily have to be your Servant, do I?"

"Since it's the Holy Grail Grand War, we can meet anytime after this. Even if I'm not your Servant, I'll still protect you."

"But I feel like you don't seem to have much interest in the Holy Grail War." Illya looked up, a hint of disappointment appearing on her face.

"Big brother wants to go back to find his mother, right?"

Lan Ze paused for a moment, looking at Illya's red eyes. He couldn't help but walk up to her and gently pat her head. He thought to himself that although this child seemed cheerful and lively, she was actually quite perceptive, and even seemed to know what he was thinking.

Illya was right. He was just tricked by Merlin from the beginning. He originally planned to come out to see who was repeatedly summoning him, and then consider going back.

"You're right, I was planning to go back," Lan Ze said, emphasizing each word. "But I've just changed my mind."

"I will wait until the Holy Grail Grand War is over before I go back, so you don't need to worry."

But Illya's eyes still held worry, fearing that she wouldn't see Lan Ze when she woke up the next morning.

If Lan Ze has just agreed to become her Servant, then there's no need to worry about that.

Two Command Spells are enough to prevent him from thinking about or acting on his own.

"But don't you really want to go back?" Illya suddenly asked, her bright red eyes fixed on Lan Ze.

"That was just now; I don't plan to go back so soon now."

Lan Ze gave a mysterious smile, "Men can be very fickle."

Illya seemed to understand, but not quite.

After bidding farewell to Illya, Lan Ze left Einsbern Castle with a sense of melancholy.

He originally planned to just take a short break and then head back to Tokyo, but it looks like he won't be able to go back directly now.

Ultimately, every Holy Grail War could lead to the death of Master, and he was a little worried about what might happen to Illya and the Tohsaka sisters after he left.

The same goes for Karen from the Holy Church. The last time I saw her was when she was a child. Back then, she suffered from demonic harassment because of her "spirit-torturing constitution." Although she has used a cross to shield her aura since then, she has survived all these years without the church members noticing her special constitution.

However, as time goes on, it's hard to guarantee that her spirit-torturing constitution won't undergo some mutation, or that the cross's effect won't weaken.

I need to find some time to go and confirm it in person.

After much deliberation, he decided to wait until the Holy Grail Grand War was over before returning.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the night sky, and after pondering for a while, he muttered to himself, "Could this also be part of Merlin's calculations?"

Lan Ze quickly gathered his thoughts, took out a Heavenly Ark from the Gate of Babylon, and said softly, "Let's go, take me back."

The Heavenly Ark beneath their feet came to life like a swimming fish and docked at Lan Ze's feet.

He boarded the Heavenly Ark, Vimana carried Lan Ze as it hurtled towards the deep night.

Illya lay in the soft blankets, her eyes closed, hugging the soft blankets to her chest.

She gently touched her head. Although the boy had left, she could still feel the warmth of the hand that had been on her head.

During the years she has been in a coma, the people who have spent the most time with her are her mother and her older brother.

Those memories didn't belong to her; she was more like an observer, watching what Irisviel went through.

Even just observing is part of her memory.

So ever since she fell into a deep sleep, she has wanted to summon the Caster that her mother had summoned, and to see him in person.

This idea has now come to fruition.

... Although she wasn't the Master.

However, her older brother is right. This is the Holy Grail Grand War, and she will see him every day from now on, so there's no need to be fixated on whose Servant he is.

Now she only has one thing to do --

Heroic Spirit Summoning.

Thinking of this, Illya jumped off the bed, her delicate white feet stepping on the floor as she walked out of the room.

Before long, she arrived in the empty hall.

Yubis stood in the hall, hands behind his back, turned to look at her, a rare faint smile appearing on his usually serious face, "I knew you wouldn't be able to resist, so I've been waiting for you here."

As he spoke, he extended his palm toward Illya.

In his palm was a single strand of blue hair.

Illya stared at Yubis's palm in confusion and asked, "What is this?"

"The hair of the Creation Mother Goddess," Yubis said solemnly.

"Huh?" Illya blinked, hesitated for a moment, and then repeated:

"The hair of the Creation Mother Goddess...?"

"Are we really going to use something so precious as Holy Relic?" Illya stared at the strand of blue hair, a hint of amazement in her red eyes.

She didn't know where this "great-grandfather" got a hair from the Creation Mother Goddess, but it was of immense value.

"It's nothing." Yubis shook his head, his tone still calm.

Earlier, when King Arthur and the others left, he had already instructed the maid to collect all the few strands of Tiamat's hair that had fallen onto the bed.

After hesitating for a moment, Illya said, "So, I have a way to summon the Creation Mother Goddess?"

Yubis shook his head. "Not necessarily, it's just a possibility."

"The Greater Grail is with Fuyuki. I have a way to help you cheat."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "But whether or not it can be summoned is up to the mother goddess herself to decide."
