Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking Chapter 229
Then, she suddenly felt something was amiss, glanced around Lan Ze with a puzzled look, and subconsciously asked, "Where is the Creation Mother Goddess? Why can't I see her?"
"She's left for now," Lan Ze said helplessly.
"Has he already left...?" Minamoto no Raikō murmured to himself, glancing casually out the window, and said softly, "So that's why you came looking for me?"
While inside the mansion, she could naturally sense the commotion outside and even heard the signal her master had sent not long ago, but she simply ignored it.
At that time, she was still immersed in the maternal love that Tiamat showed to Lan Ze.
It's like watching anime; when you're at an exciting part, you don't want to be interrupted, so you choose to refuse your Master's private message.
That said, if the Creation Mother Goddess has left, is this child all alone now...? Is that why she came to rely on me?
Minamoto no Raikō's mind stirred slightly, his eyes flickering as if he were pondering something.
After a long pause, she slightly raised her head, looked at the boy's expectant and tentative gaze, and gave him a gentle smile, "Okay, I'll take you away from here."
Lan Ze was secretly delighted, but before he could speak, Minamoto no Raikō said softly again, "However, I also have a condition."
Lan Ze immediately nodded. "No problem, anything I can do is fine."
As he said this, his gaze was fixed intently on the woman in front of him.
Minamoto no Raikō smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "It's not a difficult condition."
She raised her eyelids, gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and looked tenderly at the child before her, saying:
"Can you call me Mother?"
"Call me Mother...?"
Lan Ze tilted his head slightly, momentarily wondering if he had misheard.
I wanted to be your master, but you want to be my mother...?
Minamoto no Raikō smiled slightly. She sat upright, her tight-fitting clothes outlining her sexy figure. With her hands on her knees, she said softly, "Is your relationship with the Mother Goddess merely that of mother and son?"
Lan Ze nodded naturally and said, "Our feelings are very pure... Why did you suddenly ask this?"
Minamoto no Raikō still smiled, his voice gentle as he said, "Actually, I feel that your feelings are not as simple as they appear on the surface."
She paused, then continued, "So I hope you can tell me the story of your encounter with the Creation Mother Goddess."
Minamoto no Raikō had a strong interest in the relationship between Lan Ze and Tiamat.
When she saw Tiamat embracing and kissing the child, she felt as if a long-sealed door in her heart had quietly opened.
This is why she has a strong interest in the story of Tiamat and Lan Ze.
Why would the Creation Mother Goddess have such a close relationship with this child? Why are they so affectionate...? She was truly curious about these things.
Minamoto no Raikō gazed intently at the boy and said again, "I am very interested in your story of love and kinship with the Creation Mother Goddess."
Lan Ze shook his head helplessly and said, "I think you've misunderstood. My relationship with my mother is very ordinary, not as complicated as you think."
"If you're interested in hearing about this, I wouldn't mind telling you," Lan Ze said.
Minamoto no Raikō narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and said in a gentle voice, "Lying isn't something a good child should do, you know?"
"Although I am not your mother, I still hope you can be an honest and good child."
Lan Ze shook his head and said, "I didn't lie—"
As soon as Lan Ze finished speaking, Minamoto no Raikō suddenly said in a low voice, "Actually, I secretly spied on how you and that mother goddess connected before I left."
"..."
Lan Ze's voice abruptly stopped. He blinked, looked at the woman who was smiling at him, and after a long while, silently covered his face.
Holy crap, why didn't you say so sooner...?
Not long ago at the Dark Temple, Lan Ze was in a very bad state, so he didn't realize that Minamoto no Minamoto no Raikō was secretly watching him. If he had known, he wouldn't have needed to lie just now.
The candlelight cast a soft and warm glow on Minamoto no Raikō's face. Under the woman's tender gaze, Lan Ze sighed helplessly and said, "... Alright, since you're so interested, I'll give you a brief overview."
Outside, rain and mist swirled around them. Inside the Japanese-style room, the two sat on tatami mats, a candle burning on the table.
"My encounter with my mother was actually an accident; I met her by chance in Dreamscape."
"In Dreamscape...?"
Minamoto no Raikō raised an eyebrow slightly and said softly, "She discovered you back then, but didn't chase you away, right?"
Lan Ze gave a soft "hmm": "Actually, I still don't know the reason..."
When Merlin entered the Dreamscape, he was beaten up several times along the way and was eventually kicked out of the Dreamscape. However, Mother of All treated him very kindly from the beginning.
"I think it's probably because of your love for her."
Minamoto no Raikō smiled slightly and said, "Although I don't know exactly what happened back then, I think it was probably because you didn't feel any hostility or fear towards the Mother Goddess that she sensed your love and accepted you instead of banishing you from the Dreamscape."
Lan Ze was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself, "But my love was just a result of my LSP (Likely a person with a sexual orientation) in the beginning."
Then he thought again: Isn't LSP's love still love?
Thinking about it this way, I immediately felt relieved.
At the beginning, the biggest difference between Lan Ze and the others was that he had no respect for Tiamat, and it was this feeling that allowed him to get close to Mother of All.
However, at first, Mother of All for Lan Ze were just simple familial affection, but later the relationship gradually changed.
As for exactly when it started to spoil, Lan Ze didn't know either.
"What about Miss Gorgon?" Minamoto no Raikō suddenly asked. "She seems to care about you just as much... although her concern for you doesn't seem to stem from love, but rather from a mixture of various emotions..."
The Lan Ze mention of Gorgon involuntarily brought back memories of the various scenes in the Dark Temple, causing his body to tremble slightly.
While those things were wonderful, continuing to do so and constantly having Gorgon drain magic from them was not such a wonderful thing.
Even at the very end, Lan Ze was so exhausted that he didn't want to move at all.
However... if Gorgon were to really extract magic from Lan Ze again, Lan Ze would probably still be tempted.
It's like having tasted the marrow and then wanting more.
"You seem to have some fear of her."
Minamoto no Raikō watched the boy tremble when he mentioned "Gorgon," she felt as if she had touched something tender. She suddenly reached out and gently pulled the boy's head into her arms, softly rubbing his head.
"It's alright now. She's not here anymore, so don't be so scared... Mom's here, don't worry..."
The child's mother is no longer here; she is the only one who can comfort him.
Although she wasn't his mother, at least for this moment she could play that role.
Lan Ze buried his face in Minamoto no Raikō's heart, feeling the warm touch of this immense human heart.
At this moment, the woman seemed to be overflowing with maternal love, gently stroking the back of Lan Ze's head while softly comforting him.
Lan Ze gradually calmed down after feeling so warm and comforted.
When he looked up, he met Minamoto no Raikō's gentle gaze. For some reason, he felt inexplicably embarrassed, lowered his eyes slightly, and whispered:
"Thank you... but I wasn't scared just now."
"I think Gorgon only cares about me because she wants revenge."
"Revenge?"
Minamoto no Raikō looked down at the child in her arms, their gazes meeting for a moment. She raised an eyebrow slightly and said softly:
"Speaking of which, when I saw you before, your magic was indeed quite weak... It seems Miss Gorgon must have done quite a few bad things to you, right?"
Lan Ze forcibly suppressed the various images that kept popping into his mind, and finally calmed down, saying with mixed feelings, "Hmm... it's not necessarily a bad thing."
He paused, then continued, "But it's not exactly a good thing either."
"Do you have a grudge against her?" Minamoto no Raikō suddenly asked.
Lan Ze shook his head. "Gorgon is an avenger. Her intention was simply to vent her anger. I was just trying to stop her in that Singularity, and that's probably why she holds a grudge against me."
"I see... no wonder she looked at you like that back then."
Minamoto no Raikō pressed his index finger to his lips, pondered for a moment, then smiled with narrowed eyes:
"However, hatred can sometimes turn into love."
"At least in my opinion, Miss Gorgon doesn't seem to hate you that much."
In Minamoto no Raikō's memory, Gorgon was a cold and ruthless woman, like a venomous snake. However, after capturing Lan Ze, she did not do anything too outrageous to him, which is enough to show that she did not actually hold a grudge against Lan Ze.
"Perhaps..." Lan Ze smiled. "Actually, the person she should really resent is the one who attacked her back then."
Looking at the woman who seemed lost in thought, Lan Ze continued, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
"No... even if there is, let's talk about it after we leave here. I'll answer any questions you may have then," Lan Ze continued.
"Once I leave, I won't have another chance to ask you anything." Minamoto no Raikō shook his head helplessly and continued:
"After all, we are Servant belonging to different factions."
Lan Ze was slightly taken aback. "You're not planning to leave with me?"
Minamoto no Raikō slowly shook his head. "No matter what, I am still the Servant of the Black Faction Master. Thinking about it carefully, betraying my Master like this doesn't seem to fit the identity of a warrior."
She had been thinking about this matter for a while now.
Even after leaving the Dark Temple, she kept thinking about what it would be like if her Master were Lan Ze instead of her current Master.
But now that I think about it carefully, there was no need for any illusions in the first place.
Because she is a warrior, she won't easily betray her Master... as long as it doesn't cross her bottom line.
"If that's the case, why did you help me?" Lan Ze couldn't help but ask.
He thought that Minamoto no Raikō had already thought it through and was planning to leave with him, but he never expected that this seemingly gentle and lovely woman was simply seeing him off, and that she herself did not intend to leave.
Minamoto no Raikō smiled gently and said, "I don't want to fight you."
She was a warrior, and no matter how bad her Master's attitude was, she would not choose to betray him as long as her bottom line was not crossed.
Although she had wavered two or three times because of this child... being able to resist temptation is also one of the basic qualities of a martial artist.
The Betrayal Witch the Master and chose the Red Faction because she was hurt by him; she's Rebellious Knight... She's inherently rebellious, so it's not surprising that she would do anything.
"If you were really my child, maybe I really wouldn't be able to control myself."
Minamoto no Raikō gently touched Lan Ze's face and softly urged him:
"Alright, let's hurry up and get going, or it'll be too late if we get spotted."
After saying that, she took Lan Ze's hand without further ado and left the Japanese-style room, walking along the back door of the mansion.
"If they find out that you were the one who sent me away, you'll be in trouble later," Lan Ze said, frowning.
If Minamoto no Raikō were willing to leave with him, he wouldn't have such concerns, but if the other party intends to remain in the Black Faction... then the situation is completely different.
After all, if the Black Faction's Master knew that the Black Berserker had secretly helped the Red Faction's Servant escape, there would be no way he would ever trust her again.
In an even more extreme scenario, one might want to abandon Minamoto no Raikō and summon a new Berserker.
"You don't need to worry about this. Besides, you're Servant of the Red Faction. Losing a Servant to the opposing side should be more of a benefit than a harm for you, right?" Minamoto no Raikō chuckled as he pushed the big boy forward, a gentle smile in his eyes, seemingly unconcerned about his safety.
After walking in silence for a while, Lan Ze finally couldn't help but turn back to look at the woman with the gentle smile, and said, "Why don't you come with me? After that, I have a way to sever the contract between you and your Master."
"And then?" Minamoto no Raikō suddenly asked, his steps faltering.
Then...? Lan Ze was stunned, not understanding what she meant.
He turned his head slightly, raised his eyelids to look at Minamoto no Raikō, who had a firm chest, a slender waist, and a gentle and charming smile.
"Even if I leave the Black Faction and join the Red Faction, won't everything remain the same?" Minamoto no Raikō sighed softly as he said this.
Even if you find me a new Master, and that new Master is more attentive than the current one, that's all, isn't it?
There is no one who can understand her in this Holy Grail War.
Noticing the boy's confused gaze, Minamoto no Raikō suddenly had a thought, recalling the story that Lan Ze had just told her not long ago.
The boy who showed no fear in the face of the Creation Mother Goddess back then, perhaps he still wouldn't be afraid of her now?
I'm not afraid of her other side.
"Caster, can you tell me why you want me to join the Red Faction Team?" Minamoto no Raikō suddenly asked.
