Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

Fortunately, at that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Sakura's Tohsaka Rin, stood in the doorway and said, "Sakura, I'm coming in."

After saying that, Tohsaka Rin quietly pushed open the door. When she saw Lan Ze, she gave him a polite smile and asked, "Caster, how is Sakura?"

Matou Sakura glanced at Lan Ze instinctively, a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

"Sakura is in good spirits and is fine," Lan Ze said with a smile.

Matou Sakura secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Tohsaka Rin glanced at her younger sister instinctively, hesitated for a moment, and said worriedly, "Your face looks a little red... Do you have a fever?"

Lan Ze picked up the conversation and said with a smile, "She's fine. She's probably just been cooped up in bed for too long and felt a bit hot."

Tohsaka Rin thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Hmm... Since Caster has said so, there shouldn't be any problem."

She still trusted Lan Ze, because he was her sister's Servant and would naturally pay attention to her sister's health.

... Although he should have been his Master.

When Tohsaka Rin thought of this, she couldn't help but sigh with some frustration.

But there's no use being upset now. Anyway, she and Sakura are sisters, so there's no need to be so particular... so it's okay...

Matou Sakura suddenly asked, "Sister, is something the matter?"

Tohsaka Rin, having recovered from her earlier dejection, maintained the mature demeanor befitting an older sister and smiled, saying, "There's someone in the hall looking for Caster."

"Someone I know?" Lan Ze asked.

Tohsaka Rin nodded slightly. "We mentioned you during our conversation just now, and judging from the other person's behavior, it seemed like they knew you."

At this point, a strange tinge appeared in her voice as she continued, "Speaking of which, Caster, are you really King Arthur?"

"Barely," Lan Ze gave a vague answer.

"That's strange... Logically speaking, a Holy Grail War shouldn't be able to summon two Spirit Origin Servant..." Tohsaka Rin frowned and muttered to herself as she recalled the blonde woman she had just met and her immense heart that held the world in her heart.

Lan Ze's eyes flickered slightly. "Were the people who knocked on the door King Arthur and his Master just now?"

Tohsaka Rin nodded. "She wants to see you."

While she was chatting with Karen outside, Lancer of this Holy Grail War appeared. When she heard him call himself "King Arthur," Tohsaka Rin was quite shocked.

She was just as incredulous as Karen, because she had always thought King Arthur was Lan Ze, but now there was a female King Arthur... and it seemed that Lan Ze knew her.

Because when Lancer heard her mention Lan Ze, his previously indifferent attitude suddenly became more interested, and he said he wanted to meet him.

Could there be some untold story behind the King Arthur legend...? It was with this thought in mind that Tohsaka Rin came to find Lan Ze.

"I'll go with you." After saying that, Lan Ze looked at Matou Sakura and asked, "Sakura, do you want to continue resting in your room?"

This sounded as if he were asking her: Are you satisfied? If you're not satisfied after I interrupted you, why don't you continue...?

Even Matou Sakura, with her gentle nature, was a little annoyed. She glared at Lan Ze unintentionally, her beautiful eyes filled with a girlish resentment.

She said in a petulant voice, "No need, I'll go out as soon as I change my clothes. You guys go to the lobby first."

In the hall, Karen, dressed in pristine nun's habit, sat on the sofa. The slightly restrictive habit accentuated her figure, giving her an air of asceticism.

She gazed at the empty hall beside her and spoke softly:

"Lancer, so you know that older brother?"

Artoria nodded slightly. "I know her."

"No wonder the Servant I summoned was you. So that's how it is?" Karen murmured to herself thoughtfully.

She had been wondering why the Servant she summoned wasn't Lan Ze, but this woman in front of her.

Now, everything makes sense.

Because Lan Ze had already been summoned before her, and since she was Heroic Spirit Summoning after that, she naturally couldn't summon Lan Ze.

Therefore, the Holy Grail will choose one of the people connected to Lan Ze.

Artoria is one of them.

"How did you two meet?" Karen couldn't help but ask.

Artoria raised her head, pondered for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared on her lips, "We met in Teacher's Dreamscape."

"Teacher...?" Karen repeated, then seemed to realize something, "Merlin, the Court Mage of Britain?"

She had read about this period of history and had a general understanding of it.

Artoria gave a soft "hmm" and then fell silent.

But when he looked up, a hint of reminiscence crept into his eyes.

Karen raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly.

So, does this mean Lancer and he have a particularly good relationship?

This was the first time she had ever seen the woman beside her with such an expression.

They acted just like a married couple who had known each other for many years.

"He is my Queen." As if sensing the doubt in Karen's eyes, Artoria answered frankly.

Karen paused slightly, then instinctively looked at Artoria: "Queen...?"

Artoria nodded in affirmation.

"This matter is a bit complicated. If you want to know, I'll tell you about it when we get back."

She paused, then said with a touch of wistfulness:

"I really didn't expect to see him like this."

Karen's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't speak, only silently gazing at Artoria.

"Is there anything you wish to make to the Holy Grail?" Artoria suddenly asked, turning to look at the nun.

It took Karen a while to recover. Upon hearing this, she pondered for a few seconds, then shook her head and smiled, "I have no wish."

As she said this, she gently gripped the cross pendant hanging on her chest and whispered, "If I had to say, my wish is to summon the owner of this necklace."

Artoria glanced at the cross pendant in Karen's hand and shook her head. "Summoning Servant sometimes involves all sorts of unexpected events; it's impossible to always summon a Servant with perfect accuracy."

"Although I don't know what you've been through, if you wish to meet a certain Servant, why not obtain the Holy Grail and then wish to meet them?"

She didn't know why she was telling Karen much; perhaps it was because she saw how weak and helpless Karen looked, and instinctively wanted to help her.

"Yes, you're right," Karen said with a smile. "I'll try my best."

Just moments ago, the relationship between the master and servant seemed a bit strained, but now it appears to have warmed up considerably.

Karen's gaze towards Artoria was even filled with tenderness.

But there seemed to be another meaning hidden in those gentle eyes.

That was... the look in his eyes that seemed to want to cuckold her.

At that moment, Tohsaka Rin walked into the hall from outside.

Karen's eyes lit up slightly as she looked up at Tohsaka Rin, or more precisely, at the entrance to the hall behind her.

After a while, Lan Ze, dressed in a black robe and looking quite ordinary, followed Tohsaka Rin into the hall.

Karen sat upright on the sofa, slightly straightening her back. She took a sip of black tea to calm her excitement, then looked up at Lan Ze, maintaining her smile.

From her appearance alone, there was absolutely no clue whatsoever.

However, the girl's small hand unconsciously tightened its grip on the teacup, her heart filled with annoyance.

She had even prepared the Holy Relic, but Sakura summoned it first... This was a fact that was hard for her to accept.

No matter how angry she was inside, she had to keep smiling and maintain the proper composure and smile in front of that older brother from back then... Karen tried her best to keep smiling and quietly looked at Tohsaka Rin sitting down in front of her.

These children were only a few years old back then, how could their memories be so good...? Noticing Karen's gaze, Lan Ze silently complained to himself.

Judging by the timeline, Karen was only five or six years old at that time; children's memories of their early childhood are often vague.

But strangely enough, whether it's Matou Sakura, Tohsaka Rin, or Karen, they all seem to remember things from their childhood.

Lan Ze's gaze quickly fell on the Servant to the side.

He stared at her for less than a second, and despite being prepared, Lan Ze was still somewhat surprised. He said, "Lily?"

Artoria smiled with satisfaction, "Looks like you still remember me?"

"It would be a miracle if I could forget that..." Lan Ze asked, "Are you Servant summoned by Karen?"

Artoria nodded slightly and explained, "It seems that the Servant she wants to summon is not me, but someone else. My appearance here is just an accident."

Karen originally intended to summon me Servant, but Lily is also King Arthur's Spirit Origin, so she summoned Lily instead... Lan Ze understood slightly.

Logically, it's impossible for two Servant to have the same Spirit Origin in a Holy Grail War.

After all, if Servant could share a single Spirit Origin, the Holy Grail War might turn into a war of ahoge (Buddha's hairpin).

With Artoria's abilities, she can probably adapt to all seven classes.

No, not just the seven job classes, she might even be able to adapt to the Ruler role.

However, this only means that the same type of Servant cannot appear in theory. But who knows if the subspecies that Artoria created actually share the same Spirit Origin?

If they are not from the same Spirit Origin, it is not impossible to summon several different ahoge subspecies.

Who knows, we might actually see other subspecies of Lily in this Holy Grail War?

When Lan Ze thought of this, he couldn't help but show an expectant smile.

He imagined the expression on this aloof Lily's face when she met other subspecies of Lily, and a strange sense of anticipation welled up inside him.

"What are you laughing at?" Artoria frowned slightly, staring into Lan Ze's eyes.

"As expected of someone with A -Instinct, their reaction is so quick..." Lan Ze thought to himself, then smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing, I just remembered something happy."

Tohsaka Rin watched their conversation, glanced around, and then her gaze settled on the sexy, mature woman. Suddenly, she asked, "Lancer, you and your older brother... cough, I mean, you and Caster are close, aren't you?"

Artoria softly hummed in agreement. "He is my Queen."

"I see, Queen?" Tohsaka Rin nodded with a smile.

Her smile slowly faded, and she stared at Artoria in astonishment. "Queen?!"

Just then, Matou Sakura also came out of the room. After hearing their conversation, she was momentarily stunned, but then regained her usual composure and sat down on the sofa.

Then, Matou Sakura raised her eyes and said softly, "Lancer, can you tell me about you and Caster?"

Artoria raised an eyebrow, glanced at Matou Sakura, and said indifferently, "I'm not in the mood to talk about this right now."

Why are these people so concerned about her relationship with Lan Ze...? The perceptive Artoria felt the curious gazes directed at her by the three people and was momentarily puzzled by this.

"Just a little bit, just a tiny bit will do," Karen suddenly said softly.

She turned to Artoria, her eyes filled with curiosity. "I want to know the story between you and Caster."

Tohsaka Rin seized the opportunity to say, "Yes, just a little bit will suffice."

Matou Sakura didn't speak, but she stared intently at Artoria with a look full of curiosity.

However, there seemed to be an unusual glint in his eyes, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Under the "siege" of the three, Artoria was somewhat helpless. She glanced at Lan Ze, whose eyes were filled with helplessness.

He felt it was too embarrassing to talk about this; there was absolutely no need to discuss it. Wouldn't it be better to chat about other things and have a good time?

But now, interrupting their high spirits is a bit too much to bear.

Because whether it was Matou Sakura, Tohsaka Rin, or Karen, their eyes were filled with intense curiosity at this moment.

Why are they so interested in this kind of thing...? Lan Ze thought to himself.

After exchanging a glance with him, Artoria finally opened her mouth, about to speak.

Suddenly, a deafening roar, like a thunderclap, echoed through the peaceful Fuyuki at night.

Lan Ze was the first to react, quickly went to the window, and looked up. In the very center of the city, a huge pyramid could be vaguely seen quietly emerging under the night sky.

The magnificent golden light seemed to envelop the entire city, giving one a sense of unease at first glance.

"What happened? The Holy Grail War hasn't even started yet!!" Tohsaka Rin rushed to the window, her eyes filled with shock when she saw the pyramids that looked like those from ancient Egypt under the night sky.
