Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking
But after taking only a couple of steps, she suddenly felt as if her body was floating in mid-air. Lan Ze had somehow picked her up and was carrying her into the room.
Matou Sakura silently turned her face to the side, and whispered in an extremely shy voice, "Put me down, I can walk back by myself... This is too embarrassing..."
"I am your Servant. It's only natural for Servant to help when their Master is in trouble, right? Why should you be embarrassed?" Lan Ze said with a smile.
Servant...?
Matou Sakura silently stared at Lan Ze, her eyes flickering slightly. Finally, she lowered her gaze, gently rested her head against Lan Ze's chest, and whispered in a voice so soft it was almost inaudible:
"Sakura is a very greedy girl, senpai."
As he carried Matou Sakura through the living room, Lan Ze held his breath slightly, glanced around to make sure no one was watching, and then quickened his pace, supporting her thigh with one hand and putting his arm around her shoulder with the other, walking briskly down the corridor towards Matou Sakura's room.
I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I worry about being seen... Lan Ze muttered to himself.
He himself couldn't understand what he was thinking. He hadn't done anything wrong, so why was he so worried about being discovered?
While pondering these trivial matters, Lan Ze pushed open the door and carried the girl in his arms into the room.
Lan Ze didn't notice that at the same moment he stepped into the room, a figure suddenly appeared quietly in the previously silent hall behind him.
Her curvaceous and sexy figure was enough to make any young boy blush with shyness.
Scathach crossed her arms and turned her head slightly to look at Tohsaka Rin beside her.
The young lady of the Tohsaka Family, who had been sleepy when she first woke up, was now wide awake and staring at the two figures as they entered the house with a bewildered and complicated expression.
How are you feeling now?
Lan Ze half-squatted beside Matou Sakura, looked up at the girl and asked.
Matou Sakura forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, senpai, but I'm fine now."
Lan Ze was still worried, so he reached out and placed his hand on her wrist, feeling the girl's breath. Only after confirming that her physical condition was indeed fine did he feel relieved.
"Looks like he's really alright, he just needs a little rest," Lan Ze said.
Matou Sakura nodded.
"Speaking of which, were you like this before the Holy Grail Grand War even started?" Lan Ze suddenly asked.
Matou Sakura lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement. "It's happened occasionally before, but never like today."
That's true. If Dark Sakura appeared every now and then, given Sakura's personality, she'd probably just shut herself off.
Imagine a family of four sitting at the dining table one day when Dark Sakura suddenly appears and expresses some of the "evil" thoughts hidden in her heart.
Once or twice is one thing, but if it happens every few days, it's like social death in front of your family.
Thankfully, I was the only one in the restaurant. If anyone else had seen me, Sakura would probably have been mortified... Lan Ze thought to himself, then asked:
"Should I ask the school for leave today?"
He felt it was too dangerous to send Matou Sakura to school in this state; what if she suddenly turned evil... that would be the end of everything.
Matou Sakura hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
She suddenly shifted uncomfortably, lowered her eyes, and whispered, "Senior, could you please get me some clothes from the wardrobe?"
Lan Ze initially wanted to ask her why she was taking her clothes, but when he saw the milk stains on her school uniform, he understood.
She just accidentally spilled milk on herself.
Lan Ze rummaged through the closet for a while, then asked, "Which piece of clothing do you want?"
"Which one do you think is prettier, senior?" A gentle, sweet voice came from behind.
"I think Sakura looks good in anything." Lan Ze gave a perfect answer.
Matou Sakura tilted her head and scrutinized Lan Ze, her eyes softening. "Then, senpai, please pick one."
After glancing through the wardrobe, Lan Ze finally chose a white dress and handed it to Matou Sakura.
However, the moment he turned around, he saw that the girl had unbuttoned her school uniform at some point, revealing a slender waist without an ounce of excess fat, and above that, an enviable bust.
Lan Ze's gaze was quickly drawn to it.
But it wasn't simply because of LSP or something like that; rather, he saw black and red patterns on Matou Sakura's body again, along with milk stains.
Why is the Dark Sakura logging in so frequently...? Even Ishtar and Ereshkigal usually play for half a day each.
Lan Ze mentally scoffed.
At that moment, the Dark Sakura suddenly raised her eyes, her bewitching red eyes gleaming with a sadistic light, and smiled, "Senior, shall we continue to help Sakura clean up this milk? Senior should want to do the same, right?"
For some reason, Lan Ze always felt that this smile was very similar to Kama's.
Is it really true that this is a side effect left behind by Kama?
Looking at the Dark Sakura's smile, Lan Ze thought seriously for a moment, then suddenly said, "The Creation Mother Goddess is behind you."
Almost instantly, the Dark Sakura's body visibly trembled, and then in the next instant, she immediately turned her head to look over.
Upon discovering that the Creation Mother Goddess was not behind her, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and slowly relaxed.
Is this a classic example of "once bitten, twice shy"...? Lan Ze stared at this scene, wondering for no reason.
Dark Sakura could almost be described as a conditioned reflex.
The Dark Sakura quickly turned her head and revealed a gentle, charming smile, "Senior is really going too far."
"If you scare Sakura like that, even Sakura will get angry, you know?"
"What is your relationship with Kama?" Lan Ze asked.
"Kama...?" The Dark Sakura tilted her head slightly, seemingly not quite understanding.
Then, her eyes widened slightly in realization. "Oh, you mean that shameful goddess who was chased and beaten by the Creation Mother Goddess and even developed psychological trauma? I have nothing to do with her."
She paused, then smiled and said, "I am Sakura, and all my actions now are the result of thoughts that she originally had in her heart."
"For example..." She paused, her fingers gently tracing from her toes to her snow-white thighs, then she raised her eyes and said softly, "Let senior help Sakura wipe the milk off."
Shut up! Sakura will cry when she gets on the phone... Lan Ze wanted to cover his face.
He composed himself and asked again, "What exactly do you want?"
"I told you, as long as you help me wipe the milk clean, I won't bother you for now," she said with a smile.
"I promise she won't have that memory," she continued.
That's a bit dangerous... Lan Ze was starting to get a little tempted.
The Dark Sakura clearly noticed that Lan Ze was smitten. She raised her face, gently took one of Lan Ze's hands in her own, and gazed at him tenderly with her moist, beautiful eyes, saying, "Senior, please help Sakura clean up."
"No, I'm not that kind of person." Lan Ze frowned and shook his head reservedly in refusal.
Dark Sakura secretly observed Lan Ze's expression and saw that although he refused, he seemed somewhat hesitant, which immediately made her happy.
She gently bit her lip, raised her eyelids, and gazed at him with brimming eyes.
"Is Senpai really going to refuse Sakura?" she sighed softly. "If that's the case, Sakura will have no choice but to use Command Spells— "
Lan Ze was slightly taken aback, then silently gazed at the alluring smile of the Dark Sakura, finally pressing his hands against her shoulders and pinning her to the headboard.
The Dark Sakura's body visibly stiffened.
Soon, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her body relaxed.
As she sensed the milk residue being gradually cleaned away, Matou Sakura's eyes narrowed involuntarily.
Then, the red light in her eyes gradually faded, and she exuded a gentle, girl-next-door charm.
Holy crap, I haven't even licked it yet... ugh, I haven't even wiped it clean.
Lan Ze immediately noticed this scene, was startled, and looked up at Matou Sakura.
A faint blush lingered on her cheeks, her lips were slightly pursed as if she were suppressing her emotions, and her gentle eyes shimmered with an alluring, moist light.
"Sakura-- " Lan Ze wanted to say something.
But Matou Sakura had already reached out and gently wrapped her arms around his neck, and a light, delicate fragrance quietly wafted into her nose.
"Don't talk... First, let's help Sakura clean up the milk, senpai~"
Inside the restaurant, Tohsaka Rin sat lazily in a chair, propping her chin up with her hands and crossing her legs. Her feet, clad in cute cotton slippers, dangled from her uniform skirt, making her look listless.
"Assassin, what do you think Caster and my sister were doing in the room?"
She fiddled with her hair, then sighed sincerely, "To be honest, I've been thinking these past two days whether my sister treats him like Servant."
Scathach smiled slightly and said, "There are many ways for Master and Servant to get along. Treating them as friends or Servant kings are both very common."
Upon Tohsaka Rin couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.
Jeanne d'Arc, who had just gotten up, ate the Tohsaka Family's breakfast while smiling and expressing her opinion, "Assassin is right. The relationship between Master and Servant has always been complicated and cannot be explained simply as Master and Servant."
"Besides the two relationships mentioned earlier, there are actually many, many more possibilities, even with Servant and Master in romantic relationships."
Upon Tohsaka Rin's expression darkened even further.
She looked up, forced a smile, and said to Jeanne d'Arc, "That's true, but generally speaking, it seems unrealistic for two people who have only known each other for less than two days to go from Master-Servant Relationship to a romantic one, doesn't it?"
"Right?"
Jeanne d'Arc took a sip of milk, finished the bread in her hand, and casually licked the breadcrumbs off her slender index finger. She smiled and said, "You never know. So-called love at first sight isn't just a legend. Besides, all sorts of unexpected events can happen during the Holy Grail Grand War. If Master is rescued by Servant when in danger, they might develop feelings for that Servant."
"I seem to recall there being another word like that."
"You mean the suspension bridge effect...?" Tohsaka Rin sighed deeply.
Jeanne d'Arc smiled and nodded, "Yes, the suspension bridge effect."
Jeanne d'Arc intended to continue discussing her experiences with "romance," but upon seeing Tohsaka Rin's sudden gloomy expression, she quickly added, "However, under normal circumstances, Master don't have romantic relationships with their Servant; it's just that such a possibility exists."
Looking at Tohsaka Rin, whose expression remained gloomy, Jeanne d'Arc tentatively asked:
"Do you suspect that Matou-san has feelings for Caster?"
If that's the case, then it's understandable why the young lady of the Tohsaka Family sighed.
Servant are summoned by the Holy Grail and disappear after the Holy Grail Grand War ends. As the eldest sister, she doesn't want her younger sister to place her feelings on a Caster, because it's unlikely to lead to anything.
"Actually, there's no need to worry. Caster will leave after the Holy Grail Grand War ends. If you're really worried, just keep an eye on Matou-san during this time," Jeanne d'Arc comforted her.
To everyone's surprise, Tohsaka Rin's expression immediately turned even worse.
If Caster simply left after the Holy Grail Grand War, then what was the point of her participating in Holy Grail Grand War?
Root?
She had absolutely no interest in that kind of thing.
Unlike her father, Root held absolutely no appeal for her.
"You're right. I've figured it out. Thank you, Ruler," Tohsaka Rin said with a forced smile.
Her smile was extremely beautiful and she looked incredibly charming.
Jeanne d'Arc smiled and said, "I'm glad I was able to help you."
She is the referee and cannot help the Tohsaka sisters in the Holy Grail Grand War because referees are required to be fair and impartial.
But returns in other areas are still achievable.
Moreover, as Saintess, guiding others onto the right path is also something she should do.
"It's not surprising that Miss Matou, at her age, would have feelings for the opposite sex, especially such an excellent Servant as Caster. You just need to guide her a little when the time comes," Jeanne d'Arc continued with a smile.
"Hmm... that makes sense."
Tohsaka Rin nodded slightly, then suddenly changed the subject and asked:
"On another note, can the Holy Grail grant any wish?"
"The Holy Grail isn't omnipotent, but it certainly has a way to fulfill wishes that aren't too outrageous," Jeanne d'Arc smiled and said.
"For example, ten years ago, the Holy Grail was taken by Caster. He wished to break the curse on him, and the Holy Grail granted his wish."
Tohsaka Rin seemed lost in thought.
