Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking Chapter 238

Under the gaze of the others, Lan Ze finally snapped out of his petrification. He subconsciously looked up, glanced at Gilgamesh, and gave him a pleading look.

Gilgamesh raised an eyebrow slightly, silently turning his face away as if admiring the scenery.

The King of Heroes is arrogant, but not stupid.

The reason people act arrogantly in the Holy Grail War is simply because they know no one can rival them.

But this isn't the Holy Grail War; this is Singularity... and these people are all beasts, one of whom could be considered his "mother."

How could Lan Ze possibly be saved under these circumstances?

Should I stand outside the pit and shout something like, "You bastards, release my friend!"

... That's not realistic.

Besides, this is a family matter.

The king would not meddle in other people's family affairs.

Finally, after a long silence, Matou Sakura raised her head and looked at Kishinami Hakuno, forcing a smile, "Are you kidding me?"

Kishinami Hakuno smiled calmly, "A monk doesn't speak nonsense. Mr. Lan Ze and I did indeed have a wonderful experience together."

"Tiamat should also know about this."

Her gaze fell on Lan Ze, who seemed to still be petrified. She licked her luscious lips and said softly, "Actually, part of the reason I'm helping is that I hope he can play with me for a couple more days."

Mashu covered her mouth, her cheeks slightly flushed, and whispered, "Is... is this considered a physical transaction?"

Kishinami Hakuno smiled calmly, "If you insist on saying it that way, then you're not wrong."

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Lan Ze, and smiled brightly, "Little Lan Ze, why aren't you saying anything? Are you too tired?"

Her eyes revealed genuine concern; she seemed truly concerned about Lan Ze's health.

Are you hoping I'm dead...? Lan Ze felt a chill run down his spine. He'd rather fight Goetia again than be stared at like this.

At this point, any answer would be suicide. After a period of rapid thought, Lan Ze's brain gradually slowed down, and he gave up trying to think.

He can't possibly tell everyone now, "Actually, there's a twist to what happened between me and Kishinami Hakuno back then, and the story behind it is heartwarming..."

But remaining silent wouldn't work either... So, under these gazes, Lan Ze steeled himself and was about to say something.

Suddenly, he felt a violent dizziness rush to his brain. Before the battle with Goetia ended, Lan Ze's nerves had been on edge, but now that the battle was over, his nerves completely relaxed, and he felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him.

His eyelids kept drooping, and he stumbled backward.

A hand reached out and caught Lan Ze just in time. Lan Ze didn't have time to see what the other person looked like. He just rested his head on two soft mounds, smelled that familiar fragrance, and fell into a deep sleep.

In the darkness, Merlin gripped his staff, clutching his chest, feeling his heart pounding so hard it felt like it might burst out of his chest. He glanced again at the worried beasts in the pit, then, without pausing, turned and fled in terror.

"Don't say I didn't help you now, Lan Ze..."

Lan Ze slowly opened his eyes.

He covered his forehead, feeling a throbbing pain in his head, and also felt slightly unwell.

The headache was likely a side effect of Merlin's hypnotic Magecraft, while the physical pain was a lingering problem from the battle with Goetia.

"While we should thank Merlin for his hypnotic Magecraft... why were the side effects of that Magecraft so severe?!"

Lan Ze mentally complained, but he still remembered Merlin's kindness.

Not long ago, in that pit, the situation seemed to be spiraling out of control, but then he suddenly felt a hypnotic Magecraft silently seep into his consciousness.

The Magecraft was like raindrops, subtle and pervasive, and since Lan Ze didn't resist the effects of the hypnotic Magecraft, none of the beasts present noticed it.

... At least none of the beasts present at the time showed any sign that they had discovered hypnotic Magecraft, but whether they actually did or not is unknown.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, Lan Ze readily accepted Merlin's "help" and promptly fainted.

After all, the situation was special at the time, and there was simply no time for him to dawdle any longer.

If this continues, it will probably be not Goetia threatening Humanity's Order, but Mother of All and others threatening Humanity's Order.

After climbing down from the bedside, Lan Ze glanced at the room that came into view. The decorations were full of girlish charm, with a pink bed and a neatly tidied table.

This room feels kind of familiar... Lan Ze grabbed the blanket, lowered his head and sniffed it gently, smelling a faint, pleasant fragrance.

The scent seemed somewhat familiar... Lan Ze's eyes flickered slightly, feeling as if he had seen the scent before. To verify his guess, he picked up the blanket again and sniffed it gently.

Ultimately, he came to a conclusion: this is Sakura's room.

He felt a slight pang of unease, then couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Why do I feel like I'm a bit of a pervert..."

After waking up from unconsciousness, he was actually hugging the girl's blanket and sniffing it. If someone saw him, they would probably think he was a pervert... Lan Ze thought to himself, and was about to put the blanket down.

At that moment, he suddenly felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at him with surprise. Lan Ze vaguely sensed that something was wrong and subconsciously looked up.

The door opened at some point, and a girl with medium-length purple hair stood in the doorway, dressed in a pure white dress, with a black ribbon around her waist that accentuated her slender, delicate figure.

She blinked, her beautiful eyes fixed on the boy sitting on the edge of the bed, seemingly somewhat surprised.

Then, a faint blush quickly spread across the girl's face, and she wore a subtle expression that seemed to say, "I never expected my senior to be such a pervert," while looking at Lan Ze with a strange gaze.

"Sakura?!" Lan Ze was startled, then immediately explained, "I just felt that the scent smelled a bit familiar, so I wanted to confirm..."

He felt he needed to explain himself to avoid shattering the positive image he held in the eyes of this younger colleague.

However, after a brief moment of surprise, Matou Sakura regained her composure, quietly pushed open the door and entered the room, then turned and closed the door behind her.

Before Lan Ze could speak further, she raised her index finger to her lips and whispered, "Shh~"

As he spoke, he inadvertently glanced at the closed room behind him.

Lan Ze kept his mouth shut for a moment, then asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Matou Sakura explained softly, "Your friends are all in the lobby right now. If you make too much noise, they'll come in to check on you."

Lan Ze paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Coming in to visit me... seems like there's no problem, is there?"

Matou Sakura blinked, put her index finger to her lips, tilted her head slightly, and said, "Should I go and call them over?"

After saying that, he turned to leave.

But Lan Ze reacted quickly, grabbing Matou Sakura's wrist and gently pulling her back. Matou Sakura stumbled backward a couple of times before plopping down on the edge of the bed.

"Senior... is there anything else?" She looked up slightly, her eyes filled with confusion as she looked at Lan Ze.

Lan Ze said helplessly, "Sakura, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Matou Sakura knew exactly what had happened in the pit. He had finally gotten some peace and quiet because of his "unconsciousness," and if she went out to the hall to tell the others that he had woken up, a whole bunch of people would rush in...

It will most likely turn into another headache-inducing situation.

Having her little scheme exposed by Lan Ze, Matou Sakura simply smiled and said softly, "It's all because you pretended to faint in the pit, making me so worried the whole way here."

"I wasn't faking it. I really did feel a bit tired at the time, and then I passed out," Lan Ze explained.

To everyone's surprise, Matou Sakura simply smiled slightly and said, "That's what you say, but actually, it was because of Mr. Merlin's Magecraft that you fainted, right?"

Lan Ze: "..."

After a brief moment of surprise, he looked up at the girl in front of him and asked, "How did you know?"

Even the Beast didn't notice, so why did Sakura notice?

As if knowing what Lan Ze was thinking, Matou Sakura smiled slightly and said, "Mo told me on her way back. She was hiding outside the pit and saw Merlin secretly using hypnotic Magecraft on you."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "At the time, Xiao Mo originally wanted to kick Mr. Merlin into the pit, but considering that it would also cause trouble for her Father King, the King, she gave up."

So it was Xiao Mo... Lan Ze understood slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

He had assumed that everyone present had noticed Merlin's Magecraft... thank goodness they hadn't.

Seeing Lan Ze's visibly relieved expression, Matou Sakura suddenly asked softly, "Speaking of which, where did you go yesterday, Senpai?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Ze sighed, "This matter is actually related to Gorgon..."

He recounted his experience of being kidnapped in his sleep and what happened afterward as concisely as possible.

Of course, he overlooked the fact that his magic was being forcibly drained by Gorgon.

Upon hearing about Goetia, Matou Sakura's small face clearly showed tension, as if she had also become part of the story Lan Ze was telling.

Facing a complete beast, especially one with "anti-summoning" abilities, the Heroic Spirit is utterly helpless against it; this feeling is simply despairing.

"So that's why you left Higashiki to ask Tiamat and others for help?" Matou Sakura asked softly.

Lan Ze nodded. "Goetia's Great Light Wheel was too troublesome. To prevent it from giving up, the best approach at the time was to propose a 1v1 duel."

"Once we deal with it and send it back to the Temple of Time, we can truly fight without restraint on a different battlefield."

At this point, he suddenly asked, "Where are Mashu and Ritsuka?"

"My sister has already arranged rooms for them to stay in tonight," Matou Sakura said.

It must be said that the Tohsaka Family mansion is indeed quite large. In addition, Tohsaka Tokiomi did not die in the last Holy Grail War, so the Tohsaka Family is quite wealthy. At least arranging accommodation for these people is definitely not a problem.

However, Tohsaka Tokiomi was unaware that so many beasts had moved into his house; otherwise, he would probably have suffered considerable psychological trauma.

"You can rest assured about the Holy Grail Grand War for now, Senior. Jeanne d'Arc d'Arc has already proposed a ceasefire to the Black Faction, and there will be no further developments until the Singularity is repaired," Matou Sakura continued.

Upon hearing this, Lan Ze felt somewhat relieved.

As expected of Jeanne d'Arc of Arc, who was fair and just, she knew how to assess the situation and what action to take in this situation.

"Is there anything else you want to ask, senpai?" Matou Sakura suddenly asked.

Lan Ze hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "What's the situation in the hall now?"

To be honest, he was a little worried that while he was "unconscious," a major battle might suddenly break out in the hall...

"There are no problems for now. My sister will arrange for them to rest later." Matou Sakura smiled. "Everyone here is a very rational person. I don't think there will be any major conflicts until the real enemy is defeated."

Lan Ze breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Does senpai have any other questions?" Matou Sakura asked.

When she saw Lan Ze shake his head, Matou Sakura's smile faded slightly, and her once innocent eyes darkened. She asked casually:

"Speaking of which, who are those beasts to you, senior? Why did they accept your invitation to fight the First Beast together?"

Lan Ze didn't notice Matou Sakura's subtle change. He smiled and said, "We're all in the same group, and we share the same interests regarding Goetia, so it's easier to persuade you."

"A group...?" A question mark appeared above Matou Sakura's head, then a faint smile returned to her face as she continued:

"Never mind, I'm more concerned about what happened between you and Miss Kishinami than that."

She paused, raised her eyes, and asked, "Is what she said true?"

As she finished speaking, her gentle, beautiful eyes gazed intently into Lan Ze's eyes, her gaze filled with genuine curiosity.

She was Lan Ze's junior and had no ill intentions; she was simply asking the question out of concern for Lan Ze.

Lan Ze hesitated for a moment.

To be honest, this question is really hard to answer... or rather, he's a little worried that if he answers, the gentle and sensible Sakura will turn into Dark Sakura.

... It would be troublesome if it turned out like that.

While Lan Ze was still hesitating, Matou Sakura silently gazed at the boy. After a long while, she suddenly smiled and said softly, "Never mind, it's alright if you don't answer, senpai. I don't want to put you in a difficult position."

Lan Ze was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously looked up at the girl. When he saw her gentle smile, a faint smile appeared on his face as well.

As he had guessed, Sakura's personality was just as he had imagined: gentle and considerate, a junior with no ill intentions who only cared about her seniors.

Seemingly embarrassed by Lan Ze's intense gaze, Matou Sakura lowered her head slightly and whispered, "Senpai's injuries haven't healed yet, so you should rest early."

Lan Ze shook his head and smiled, "My injuries have basically healed, it's just that my magic power will take a little time to recover... but it's not a big problem, I just need to replenish my magic power later."

Matou Sakura's eyes still held worry. She gently placed her slender, soft hand on Lan Ze's hand and whispered, "Senpai, please don't push yourself too hard."

Lan Ze shook his head and smiled, "I wouldn't lie like that. My wounds have basically healed; I'm just a little tired at most."

"I see..."

Matou Sakura muttered to herself, then smiled and said, "That puts my mind at ease."

In every sense... I'm relieved.

She gently grasped Lan Ze's hand, and the cool, wonderful touch made Lan Ze's heart flutter. He almost fell deeply in love with this junior's gentleness and couldn't help but cover the girl's hand with his own. The cool touch of the girl's small hand spread between his palms.

Lan Ze's heart fluttered slightly. At this moment, his vision seemed to be taken away by Matou Sakura, and he couldn't help but stare at the girl's delicate and lovely face.
