Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

The sound of rain pattering outside reached her ears. Tohsaka Rin glanced around the dark corridor, and after confirming that no one was there, she quietly walked towards her sister's room.

Matou Sakura lay on her side on the soft bed, facing the door directly.

She bit her lip lightly, feeling the young man gently holding her waist behind her. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a tenderness that could move even a woman's heart.

"Replenishing mana this way will be faster than usual... Senpai should know that, right?" Matou Sakura said softly.

"I know, but it still feels a little strange..." Yu Lan Ze looked at Matou Sakura's back with some hesitation, gently inhaling the faint fragrance of her smooth hair.

"This is also the Master's order, so please don't worry about it, senpai." Matou Sakura turned her head slightly to look at the boy behind her, a hint of tenderness in her eyes, and said softly:

"After your Spirit Origin shrank, your previous magic power also disappeared. This time, we've replenished your magic power."

"With my current Spirit Origin, even with a normal supply of magic, I can replenish it quickly..." You Lan Ze muttered to himself.

Matou Sakura was silent for a moment, then asked gently, "So, does that mean you regret it, senpai?"

She paused, then continued, "I'm sorry to force you to do something you don't want to do..."

Yu Lan Ze gently shook his head and said softly, "Sakura doesn't need to apologize to me... It's not that I don't like it, I'm just a little surprised."

"It's my older sister, not Sakura," Matou Sakura said softly, puffing out her cheeks slightly, sounding a little dissatisfied.

"What would you have done if I had refused?" You Lan Ze suddenly asked.

Matou Sakura shifted slightly, her smooth back gently pressing against the boy's chest behind her, and whispered, "If you refuse, senpai... you still have Command Spells, don't you?"

In short, even if Lan Ze had just refused, she could still use Command Spells... However, if possible, she still didn't want to rely on such coercive power to satisfy herself... She hoped that she and her senior were truly in love.

"I was just joking. I wouldn't use Command Spells on you so casually." Matou Sakura turned her head slightly to look at the boy behind her, her beautiful eyes half-closed, gazing at him tenderly, and said softly:

"After all, I don't like forcing my seniors to do things they don't like."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Senior, don't you like doing this kind of thing?"

Matou Sakura casually tossed the question to her Servant, gazing intently at him with eyes so moist they could make one's bones melt.

You Lan Ze subconsciously swallowed, gently shook his head, and his hands under the covers were still misbehaving.

Matou Sakura seemed relieved and let out a soft sigh of relief, a gentle smile appearing on her face, "Then let's prove it with actions, senpai—"

Her voice paused abruptly as she spoke, because she heard a slight sound of a door opening in the dark room.

Matou Sakura felt her heart skip a beat, her body tensed slightly, and she instinctively covered her mouth.

The young Lan Ze behind her also stopped moving, gently holding Matou Sakura's slender waist, not daring to move any further.

The footsteps were slowly approaching, so softly that they were almost inaudible.

Even such a soft sound reached Matou Sakura's ears clearly at this moment, causing her heart to gradually quicken. She slowly opened her eyes and vaguely seemed to see a girl with long, black hair hanging down in the darkness.

Tohsaka Rin.

Seeing that Tohsaka Rin seemed to be about to walk to the bedside, Matou Sakura took a shallow breath to keep herself calm and softly said, "Sister."

Tohsaka Rin was clearly startled, immediately stopping in her tracks. Taking advantage of the darkness, she cautiously observed the girl before her and lowered her voice, saying, "Sakura, aren't you asleep yet?"

"Hmm... I took a nap, and just woke up on my own." Matou Sakura's voice was as gentle as usual. She paused for a moment, then continued:

"Sister, is something the matter so late?"

Tohsaka Rin shook her head slightly, still keeping her voice low, and said, "I was worried about Caster, so I wanted to sneak in and take a look... How is he now?"

Matou Sakura glanced casually at the boy behind her, her eyes narrowing slightly, and said softly, "He... he's fine now, sleeping soundly... Sister, you should get some rest too."

"So Caster hasn't woken up yet?" Tohsaka Rin muttered to herself, listening to her sister's seemingly exhausted voice.

Then, she nodded gently and said, "You should get some rest too. Don't think too much about Caster."

"We'll figure out how to deal with Caster tomorrow; we're sure we can help him restore his Spirit Origin."

"Yes, I know, I'll take a break early--"

Matou Sakura's body suddenly tensed slightly, and her voice became faint, almost inaudible, perhaps because she was too sleepy.

"I... I'm going to sleep soon," she said softly.

Late at night.

Yu Lan Ze gazed at her sleeping Master, who seemed somewhat tired. She had just returned to her room after taking a hot bath and fell asleep shortly afterward.

With the Master's help, the young Lan Ze's magical power had reached a point where it was almost overflowing.

He gently covered Matou Sakura the blanket, gazed at her peaceful sleeping face, gently touched her cheek, and then quietly turned and left the room.

At this age, Lan Ze isn't a seasoned LSP yet, although Matou Sakura still gave him a special magic boost tonight, and Lan Ze did indeed experience a unique kind of pleasure.

There is an outdoor table in the backyard, with several chairs placed around it.

You Lan Ze walked to one of the chairs and sat down, looking up at the night sky with its light drizzle, and began to think about what had happened that night.

The ability to shrink the Spirit Origin of Heroic Spirit Servant is something that has never been heard of before.

Ultimately, the ability to shrink, or more accurately, seal away another person's Spirit Origin is itself an incredible thing.

If it were self-sealing, that would make sense, like Tiamat. Her original body was incredibly large, almost enough to fill an entire sea, but after self-sealing, her body shrank.

But that was self-imposed sealing, based on the principle of "voluntary".

If a Heroic Spirit could seal the Spirit Origin of other Servant, that ability would be far too overpowered.

... This doesn't seem like an ability that a Heroic Spirit should possess.

But if it wasn't Heroic Spirit attacking him, then what could it be?

beast...?

This possibility suddenly occurred to You Lan Ze.

No... If the enemy were the Beasts, then she shouldn't have felt intimidated when facing Jeanne d'Arc d'Arc. Each Beast is extremely powerful, and even Kama, who was beaten to tears, is still a formidable opponent.

At least, Beast is not something a normal Heroic Spirit can handle... unless there is a mutual restraint relationship between the two.

A night breeze swept by, bringing You Lan Ze back to his senses. As if sensing something, he turned his head slightly to look at the courtyard gate beside him.

The next moment, You Lan Ze transformed into golden light particles and disappeared from the courtyard, arriving on the street outside.

Looking at the deserted street, he asked, "Who's hiding here?"

Clatter

A light drizzle fell silently from the sky, and at the same time, a soft footstep sounded behind me.

Young Lan Ze turned his head slightly and saw a female Servant appear in his field of vision.

She was wearing a tight-fitting outfit, with a katana at her waist, and stood quietly under the streetlight.

Minamoto no Raikō.

The woman had a voluptuous figure no less than Tiamat's, with long hair falling naturally over her pert buttocks. She looked up at the boy in front of her, first with surprise, and then her eyes quickly filled with a complex expression.

Minamoto no Raikō had just tracked them down and finally arrived at this mansion.

According to the information brought by the Master, Caster seems to have been protected by Jeanne d'Arc ever since his Spirit Origin shrank.

Her task was to wait until Jeanne d'Arc left Young Lan Ze before making her move.

But when she went to the hotel earlier, she didn't see Caster.

After a moment's thought, Minamoto no Raikō immediately made a judgment... the other party had probably returned to the Tohsaka Family.

As it turned out, her guess was correct.

"The Black Faction's Berserker? What are you doing here?" Young Lan Ze turned to look at Minamoto no Raikō, his eyes filled with confusion.

Under Young Lan Ze's gaze, Minamoto no Raikō revealed a faint smile, "As per my Master's orders, I am to eliminate you."

As she finished speaking, she slowly drew her katana from her waist, pointed it at Lan Ze, and secretly observed the seemingly well-mannered young man.

If I had children of my own, they would probably be just as adorable now, right?

Minamoto no Raikō's gaze seemed sharp as he stared at the boy, but a strange light flickered in his beautiful eyes.

She quickly shook her head, clearing her mind of the jumbled thoughts, and took a step forward, making a gesture as if to attack.

But the boy in front of her remained motionless, just staring at her, seemingly without any intention of resisting.

Minamoto no Raikō frowned slightly, but his gaze remained fixed on him as he said, "Caster, are you going to give up resisting?"

"Even if they're children, I won't show them any mercy."

Despite saying this, she didn't take another step forward, only staring at him.

"You're here to die, not to get rid of me, aren't you?" You Lan Ze suddenly said.

Minamoto no Raikō frowned slightly but remained silent.

You Lan Ze continued, "Since you've already secretly observed from outside, you should know this is the Red Faction Team's base, right? Stepping in rashly, without even concealing your presence... it's less like you're trying to get rid of me and more like you're courting death."

After all, there's more than just Lan Ze as a Servant in this mansion; it's impossible for Minamoto no Raikō to complete the mission alone.

"He's a very clever child," Minamoto no Raikō suddenly smiled gently. "He can even guess what I'm thinking."

"But why?" You Lan Ze still had some doubts in his heart.

"Don't you have any desire for the Holy Grail?"

Heroic Spirit who accept the Holy Grail War should all have some unfulfilled wishes from their lives, and they want to use the Holy Grail to fulfill those wishes... But Minamoto no Raikō actually gave up the Holy Grail, intending to use "death in battle" as an excuse to leave the stage first?

Minamoto no Raikō smiled slightly and said, "I only accepted the summoning to manifest world by chance, but to be honest, my compatibility with my master isn't very good."

Recalling the Master's attitude just now, Minamoto no Raikō sighed softly:

"So I think we should end this Holy Grail Grand War in this way."

She will obey her Master's orders and wield her blade without mercy to fight for her Master.

But she didn't want to lay a hand on a child like that.

If she had to choose between the two, she would choose the third path.

"Archer, you're here too, aren't you?"

Minamoto no Raikō suddenly called out softly into the empty street, his gaze fixed directly behind the boy.

Yu Lan Ze subconsciously turned his head to look, and almost as soon as Minamoto no Raikō's voice fell, a slender goddess riding on Ma'anna leaped down from the sky and quietly appeared in their field of vision.

"Ishtar?" Young Lan Ze asked instinctively.

"You should call me Goddess! Or Ishtar- neechan is fine too... Hmm, of course, I think the latter is better."

Ishtar gently placed her hand on the boy's shoulder, then looked at him with suspicion for a few more moments, muttering in surprise, "His magic power has already been fully replenished? That's way too fast...?"

While surprised by the rapid recovery of her Divine Messenger's magic power, Ishtar looked up at the woman before her and laughed, "Berserker, are you here to gather intelligence, or to die, Berserker?"

Minamoto no Raikō remained indifferent, saying calmly, "Since you were eavesdropping the whole time, there's no need to ask again when you already know the answer."

She had sensed Ishtar's presence just moments before, but had simply chosen not to confront her.

Ishtar smiled noncommittally, watching as a bow materialized in Minamoto no Raikō's hand. Her expression remained unchanged as she simply smiled and said, "You don't seem to have any intention of attacking my Divine Messenger, but you do show relative hostility when facing me."

"Because I'm not a child?" Ishtar asked.

But Minamoto no Raikō did not speak; instead, he pulled the bowstring and aimed it in the direction of Ishtar.

"So you really came here to die...?" Ishtar, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly as she looked at Minamoto no Raikō's indifferent expression, suddenly said:

"Black Berserker, your Master sent you to assassinate my Divine Messenger, but you chose the third path: to die in battle."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Why don't you consider changing your option?"

"How about choosing the fourth path?" Ishtar smiled, her eyes narrowing, as she gently stroked Young Lan Ze's hair.

Minamoto no Raikō paused slightly as he pulled the bowstring, gazing at the Goddess of Heaven with a hint of doubt.

She stared at Ishtar, frowned, and asked, "What do you mean?"

A mischievous glint in Ishtar's red eyes as she softly said, "How about switching sides...?"

Minamoto no Raikō narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly, revealing a hint of coldness.

Has this goddess gone mad...? She's actually trying to persuade me to surrender so directly?

Did she really think she would accept such an unreasonable invitation...?
