Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

She couldn't resist reaching out and gently stroking the young Master's face, gazing at him silently for a long time.

Just then, a soft, pleasant voice came from behind. "How is it, Caster?"

Medea was pulled back from her thoughts. Her eyes, hidden under her hood, flickered slightly. She quickly raised her head and smiled, "I can't tell anything for now. There won't be any Servant battles during the day, so I'd like to take Master to the basement during the day to study him slowly and see if there's any way to help him recover."

Matou Sakura didn't speak, but glanced at Medea a couple more times, lingering for a moment on her pure, gentle smile, before finally giving a soft "Mmm": "Then I'll have to trouble you with me during school tomorrow, Caster."

"It's what I should do." Medea smiled sweetly, then left the room with Mordred.

As soon as the two left the room, Tohsaka Rin, who had been fidgeting in the hall, immediately stood up and quickly walked to Medea, her bright eyes fixed on her.

"Caster, what are you doing out here?"

"Master said that having her in the room is enough, so he told us to come outside." Mordred sighed, holding the back of her head with both hands. "I wanted to tease Father King too."

Everyone had different intentions, except for Mordred, who genuinely wanted to tease her Father King and play a prank on him.

Although Mordred didn't seem to have considered whether Lan Ze would get beaten up after he recovered... or whether he would get beaten up by the others present.

"Did the others go back?" Mordred asked, glancing at the empty hall.

"They went back to their rooms to rest first," Tohsaka Rin said.

"Illya was making a fuss at first, but she eventually went back to her room and went to sleep obediently."

Tohsaka Rin finished explaining, she suddenly imagined her younger sister sleeping in her room with her Servant, and sighed softly with mixed feelings.

"What is Sakura thinking? Does she really still remember Caster...?" she murmured to herself.

"Are you referring to the things between my master and my Father King when we were young?" Mordred asked.

Tohsaka Rin nodded slightly.

"She should still remember her Father King, shouldn't she?" Mordred said.

Tohsaka Rin paused, then immediately looked up and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Most Servant don't have experience from the previous Holy Grail War, but there are exceptions. For example, I have some memories of the previous Holy Grail War. People tend to have related memories of things that leave a deep impression on them, so it's normal for Sakura to remember her Father King."

Tohsaka Rin gently shook her head. "If it weren't something very important, I wouldn't have retained those childhood memories until now—"

Mordred interrupted, "How could what I experienced with my Father King be unimportant?"

Tohsaka Rin stood frozen in place, her eyes slightly dazed, as if petrified.

After a long while, she smiled and said, "Please make yourselves at home, I'm going to the restroom."

After saying that, she put her hands behind her back, turned gracefully, and walked into the restroom.

Mordred walked to the front of the hall, picked up the teacup on the table, and was about to pour himself a cup of black tea.

Suddenly, a surprised and incredulous "Eh!" came from the bathroom, followed by a sound like someone slamming their fist on the table.

Mordred hesitated for a moment, then turned to look in the direction of the bathroom.

What is Ms. Tohsaka doing...? Why is she making such a commotion?

Mordred took a sip of tea as he pondered this, then glanced at Medea, who was gazing at him tenderly beside him, and his feelings became somewhat complicated.

She gently set down her teacup and sighed helplessly.

Why do Medea and Matou Sakura both look at her like that?

Not long ago, when everyone was gathered in the hall, several people also gave me similar looks.

Mordred realized that several people in the room seemed to want to be her mother...

None of the Master Servant here can be trusted!

Inside the house.

Matou Sakura lay on her side behind Lan Ze, gazing at the sleeping boy. Several times she wanted to reach out, but before her fingers could touch his face, she abruptly withdrew her hand, suppressing the urge.

For a moment, she felt as if she had obtained a precious treasure and wanted to open it to see what it was, but she didn't know how to do it properly.

If the other person suddenly wakes up while you're touching her, they might think Sakura is a girl with strange fetishes or something.

Thinking this, Matou Sakura looked at the boy in front of her with a conflicted expression, and murmured to herself:

"It would be better to let him rest first...?"

The best decision is for Medea to check on Senior's health tomorrow, and then find a way to help him recover... That would be the best course of action.

When Matou Sakura thought of this, she silently withdrew her hand again.

At that moment, another gentle, sweet voice suddenly echoed in her heart, "If you don't want to do anything, I can do it for you..."

The voice seemed less like it came from the depths of her heart and more like a phantom appearing behind Matou Sakura.

She wore a black and red striped dress that accentuated her perfect figure, and her silver, shoulder-length hair cascaded down her back. She leaned close to Matou Sakura's ear and whispered in a gentle, melodious voice, like a devil's whisper:

"Give me your body for now..."

--Dark Sakura.

At the same time, a black aura quietly spread and eroded Matou Sakura's brain, and her originally snow-white skin was gradually stained with a layer of bewitching red patterns.

Matou Sakura felt her head starting to spin; she could clearly sense that the voice in her heart was taking over her mind.

However, while the Dark Sakura had easily conquered Matou Sakura's body in previous encounters, this time she repeatedly conquered Matou Sakura's mind, yet the girl still managed to retain a sliver of rationality.

No... absolutely not now!

A voice screamed desperately from the depths of Matou Sakura's heart, constantly reminding her to resist the corruption of the Dark Sakura.

Although the Dark Sakura can't possess her body for long, and being possessed normally wouldn't be a problem, but things are different now...

If the Dark Sakura were to take over her body, there would be so many things she could do during that time.

"What you won't do, I'll do..."

The seductive voice of the Dark Sakura echoed in her ears again. Matou Sakura bit her lip and clenched her small fists into her chest.

Tonight is absolutely not allowed, no matter what... She kept telling herself this, desperately fighting against the corrupting influence of the Dark Sakura.

At the same time, Matou Sakura's gaze was fixed on the sleeping boy in front of her. Her eyes suddenly flickered slightly, and then her gaze gradually became firm, no matter how much the Dark Sakura tried to erode her, it had no effect.

"You don't need to do it... I can do it myself," she suddenly said softly.

The best way to deal with Dark Sakura is to become corrupted yourself first... or rather, to follow your inner desires.

Once I turn evil, the other party can't turn evil again.

At this moment, Matou Sakura suddenly became clear-headed. The red lines that were slowly climbing up gradually faded away. The black aura in her mind was still constantly impacting Matou Sakura's brain, but it could no longer erode her in the slightest.

"Your senior is my only Servant, not even another personality..." Matou Sakura's eyes were unwavering.

As the thought flashed through her mind, the black aura in her mind gradually faded away, Matou Sakura's back was unconsciously covered in a light sheen of sweat.

Although the battle with the Dark Sakura hadn't drained my physical strength, it had been extremely mentally taxing.

Sweat trickled down her face Matou Sakura supported herself on the bed with one hand and reached for a tissue on the bedside table.

After wiping the sweat from her forehead, she hesitated, wondering if she should take a shower.

Suddenly, she noticed a pair of eyes staring intently at her, their dark pupils filled with surprise.

Matou Sakura looked down slightly and saw that the boy who had been sleeping soundly had woken up at some point.

"I'm sorry, senpai, did I wake you up?" Matou Sakura said apologetically.

Lan Ze looked around at his surroundings, then quickly raised his head to look at the girl in front of him, his eyes filled with confusion. He whispered, "When did I come back here...?"

Matou Sakura said softly, "I was a little worried about you since you haven't returned yet, so I just used a Command Spells."

"So, I came back here because of the Command Spells?"

Lan Ze looked thoughtful, then glanced at Matou Sakura and quickly noticed that the girl seemed a little off. He asked with concern, "..."

"Were you exercising just now? Why are you sweating so much?"

Matou Sakura gave a faint smile, gently shook her head, and said softly, "No... a demon was just trying to corrupt my mind, but it has been defeated now."

She paused, gazing at the boy's adorable face, her eyes flickering slightly, and then said softly, "If you don't mind... you can call me 'sister' for now, senior."

Lan Ze was taken aback.

Seeing that he remained silent, Matou Sakura suddenly asked somewhat uneasily, "... Is it not okay?"

"Sister...?" Lan Ze pondered for a moment, then revealed a humble and gentle smile.

"If Master likes being called that, then I'll call you 'older sister'."

Seeing Matou Sakura's smile softened even more.

"Speaking of which, let me first explain what happened tonight to you--"

Lan Ze suddenly remembered this matter and looked up at Matou Sakura.

Matou Sakura gazed at him tenderly, without offering any reply.

Only after hearing Lan Ze call her "sister" did she snap out of her reverie and nod gently, "Mmm... go ahead and say it."

While speaking, her gaze remained fixed on him.

Lan Ze briefly recounted his experiences after leaving the mansion and heading to the air-raid shelter that night. Matou Sakura gently stroked Lan Ze's head, her face thoughtful, and whispered:

"So, it was Lady Jeanne d'Arc who saved you?"

"If that's the case, I really should thank her next time I see her."

"I just don't know what that mysterious heroic Heroic Spirit looks like. I didn't get a clear look at her at the time..." Lan Ze sighed softly as he said this.

"I'm sorry, I've caused you a lot of trouble by ending up like this."

After her Spirit Origin shrank, her personality seemed to have become much more humble and gentle... Matou Sakura smiled and said, "It's no trouble at all. On the contrary, it's quite good this way... What I mean is, I won't abandon you, senpai."

She used to be a little timid when facing Lan Ze, but now, when facing the young Lan Ze, she doesn't know why she doesn't have that same feeling of following her heart. Instead, she has a desire to guide him and tease the child.

"By the way, sister, what are your plans for the future—"

"Let's talk about the rest tomorrow," came Matou Sakura's voice, sounding somewhat absent-minded.

"Yeah, you're probably planning to rest too... Let's talk about it tomorrow then."

Just as Lan Ze was speaking, he suddenly noticed that the girl's voice had stopped, so he couldn't help but look up.

Before he could even see her face clearly, Matou Sakura suddenly reached out and gently hugged the back of his head, pulling him into her arms.

The warm aura enveloped him, causing Lan Ze's thoughts to momentarily pause.

He subconsciously looked up to see what his Master was up to, but all he saw was that delicate and beautiful face, and a pair of moist purple eyes gazing at him tenderly.

After their eyes met for a moment, Matou Sakura's eyes flickered slightly, a shy blush spreading across her face, but a beautiful, gentle smile curved her lips as she softly said:

"By the way, senior, there's something I'd like to ask you."

Tohsaka Rin lay on the soft bed, staring blankly at the dark ceiling.

She seemed somewhat absent-minded; as soon as she closed her eyes, thoughts of Caster involuntarily resurfaced in her mind.

She remembered Lan Ze's face, and that he was currently sleeping in Sakura's room.

Just thinking about it made Tohsaka Rin let out a heavy sigh.

She actually wanted to sneak into her room to check on her sister, but going so late would make people think she was particularly concerned about Caster...

Thinking this, Tohsaka Rin felt a little helpless.

She didn't want to reveal that she knew Lan Ze... Although in theory it wouldn't matter even if it were revealed, she still didn't want more people to know about it.

As for the reason... it's probably because Lan Ze is now her sister's Servant. If Sakura were to reveal that she knows Lan Ze, she might feel guilty, thinking that she stole the Servant that her sister was planning to summon.

"No, I still care! I wonder if Caster is awake yet..."

Tohsaka Rin glanced at the alarm clock beside her; it showed 3 a. m.

Sakura is usually asleep by now. Just sneak a peek... just a sneak peek, as long as I don't disturb her, right?

Recalling the image of young Lan Ze she had seen that evening, Tohsaka Rin's mind began to stir. She threw back the covers, tiptoed, and quietly slipped out of the room.
