Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking
For a fleeting moment, Lan Ze even doubted that the girl sitting on the edge of the bed was not Matou Sakura, but Kama.
The girl's charm was almost bewitching, drawing people's attention to her and even inspiring them to express their love or hold her tightly.
Was I having a fit of madness, or is Sakura really that charming...? Lan Ze suppressed his inner impulse and let go of her hand.
There were other people in the hall. If even one of them came in to visit him and saw this scene, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The will to survive eventually calmed Lan Ze down.
Matou Sakura still kept her head down, looking a little embarrassed, as if she was expecting something.
But after a while, she noticed that the boy beside her, who had been somewhat restless, had suddenly stopped moving. She couldn't help but raise her head slightly, and asked in confusion, "Senior...?"
Suppressing his inner impulse, Lan Ze said, "It's getting late, Sakura, you should get some rest."
Matou Sakura paused slightly, glancing at Lan Ze with some surprise.
Why would the senior stop at such a crucial moment?
She found it somewhat unbelievable, yet equally understandable.
After all, this mansion is practically a beast's den. Any slight disturbance could attract beasts, so it's understandable that the senior would be worried.
Thinking of this, Matou Sakura smiled faintly and said, "Hmm... I understand. Then you should get some rest too, senpai."
Lan Ze gave a soft "hmm," and under Matou Sakura's gaze, he lay back down in bed and covered himself with the blanket.
Matou Sakura did not leave; she remained seated at the head of the bed, gazing tenderly at Lan Ze.
Lan Ze pretended not to see it, turned over, and wanted to go to sleep.
After a while, there was no sound behind him. Lan Ze didn't know if Matou Sakura had left, and he didn't care to check anymore.
His eyelids slowly drooped down until finally, he drifted into a drowsy state.
After an unknown amount of time, Lan Ze, still half asleep, suddenly felt a pair of cool, soft hands gently and quietly embrace him from behind, and Lan Ze girl's chest pressed against his back.
The delicate fragrance wafted into his nostrils, startling Lan Ze awake from his slumber. He then realized that Matou Sakura had somehow wrapped her arms around his waist, like a beautiful snake coiled around him.
Sensing that Lan Ze seemed to want to say something, Matou Sakura suddenly spoke first:
"Don't move around, senior."
Matou Sakura's hand gently traced along Lan Ze's chest to his face. Her usually gentle eyes now gleamed with excitement as she softly said:
"I originally wanted you to rest well, senior, but since your injuries have already healed... then it's alright."
As Lan Ze's junior, Matou Sakura truly has no ill intentions.
Just like now, she only wanted to give her lying senior a small punishment... nothing more.
"I will punish you until you completely lose all desire for other women, senpai~"
In the living room.
A dazzling crystal chandelier illuminated the hall, its warm glow enveloping everyone.
Mashu sat upright in front of the sofa, unconsciously swallowing.
Beside her, Fujimaru Ritsuka also looked somewhat nervous, cautiously glancing around at the people in her field of vision before silently looking away.
The staff at Chaldea are also under some pressure. Although they drove away Goetia even greater threat has emerged... Well, at least we can't call these beasts a threat yet, because they just forced Goetia to retreat and saved Humanity's Order not long ago.
While secretly observing the people in the hall, Mashu suddenly seemed to sense something, quietly got up and left the hall, went to the balcony, and placed her shield on the floor.
The next moment, an ancient array appeared on the shield, from which two high-tech phantoms emerged.
Roman and Da Vinci.
"Mashu, Lan Ze still not awake?" Roman's voice came from beside Mashu's ear, his eyes showing a hint of worry.
He was terrified that a fierce battle might break out in the hall if things went wrong.
Mashu glanced at the living room, shook her head slightly, and whispered, "It seems that Senpai is still asleep... but there's nothing wrong with the hall for now, so please don't worry."
Roman breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"By the way, have we found the location of the Temple of Time yet?" Mashu suddenly asked.
Roman gave a soft "hmm" and said, "I think we should have news in the next couple of days."
After Goetia's death, he needed to rebuild his Spirit Origin to be resurrected. During this period, it would not be difficult to detect the location of the Temple of Time if one was willing to do so.
After exchanging a few more words, Roman continued, "I'll leave Lan Ze in your care for now."
Mashu nodded gently and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of you these next two days."
After she finished speaking, she was about to put away her shield.
At that moment, Da Vinci's voice came through the spirit communication.
"Oh, right Mashu."
Mashu her head slightly, looking at the female phantom that appeared on the shield, her eyes filled with doubt.
"Be careful not to sneak a bite!" Da Vinci smiled, a hint of teasing in his voice.
Mashu blinked, not understanding.
After a long pause, her eyes widened suddenly, a faint blush spreading across her face. She said, embarrassed and annoyed, "I don't have those kinds of feelings for you, senior!"
"I just consider you a very reliable person, just like Miss Sakura!"
"I see~ Anyway, be careful to restrain yourself~" As Da Vinci said this, Mashu had already turned off the spirit communication device with a "snap", but there was still a blush on her face that had not completely faded.
Keep a calm mind, you must keep a calm mind... Mashu took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and stepped into the hall.
In the hall, at this moment, Tohsaka Rin's expression was slightly heavy as she secretly observed the group of beasts sitting on the sofa. Her gaze swept over Sajyou Manaka, and then followed Kama, Kishinami Hakuno, and Tiamat in that order.
Actually, not everyone in the hall was present. For example, although Gorgon returned to the Tohsaka Family with them, that woman was cold by nature, so she disappeared after returning to the Tohsaka Family.
And that lady in the cheongsam, she also never showed her face from beginning to end, remaining extremely mysterious.
Heroic Spirit, on the other hand, remain in a spiritual state and are difficult for ordinary people to find.
Only the Beast, the Chaldea group, and Jeanne d'Arc were present.
Tohsaka Rin smiled and said, "Everyone, let me arrange your rooms for tonight. Please follow me."
Kishinami Hakuno smiled gently, her voice both holy and incredibly alluring, and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Tohsaka- san."
"No trouble at all." Tohsaka Rin smiled slightly, then glanced at Tiamat again. Her gaze remained fixed on Kishinami Hakuno, her eyes filled with undisguised hostility.
Tohsaka Rin spoke up, "Mother, will you come with me?"
Tiamat remained silent, continuing to stare at Kishinami Hakuno.
"Mother, why are you staring at me like that?" Kishinami Hakuno asked with a smile.
"Don't call me Mother." Tiamat was clearly displeased, her eyes filled with hostility.
Clearly, she was still bothered by Kishinami Hakuno's earlier remark.
Kishinami Hakuno didn't mind, she simply turned slightly to look at Tiamat, a kind and gentle smile on her face, and said, "Then I'll go back to my room first, Mom."
Perhaps because the two were standing close together, when she turned around, her large breasts pressed directly against Tiamat's. Sajyou Manaka was sitting right between them, and her eyes darkened for a moment, her murderous aura almost uncontrollable.
But her little hand immediately reached into her pocket and touched the small bottle of Magic Potion.
Calm down... After everyone goes to rest, it will be my time... Sajyou Manaka kept telling herself this until finally, the anger that had been almost uncontrollable by Tiamat and Kishinami Hakuno's face wash gradually subsided.
The anger that has been building up in his heart will eventually be completely vented on young Lan Ze.
Thinking of this, a graceful smile returned to Sajyou Manaka's face.
However, as her face rubbed against Tiamat and Kishinami Hakuno's ample breasts, her anger continued to rise...
Jeanne d'Arc watched this scene, feeling a slight headache coming on, and rubbed her temples.
She didn't know why these beasts got along so badly, but she definitely couldn't just leave them alone now...
She was about to speak when she thought of this.
Just then, a clear and pleasant doorbell rang from outside.
The tense and dangerous atmosphere eased slightly with the ringing of the doorbell. Seeing this, Tohsaka Rin immediately said, "I'll go check it out."
Logically speaking, since we're still in the midst of the Holy Grail Grand War, even though it's supposed to be a truce, it would be better to be cautious.
But Tohsaka Rin wasn't worried at all.
She didn't believe the Black Faction would dare to cause trouble at this time.
As she pondered this, Tohsaka Rin arrived at the door, pushed it open, and was greeted by a man dressed as a "priest."
"It's you?" Tohsaka Rin raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by the visitor, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here so late?"
Kotomine Kirei closed her umbrella and gently patted the water stains off the corner of her clothes.
"My father is not feeling well today, so I've come on his behalf to ask Ruler why the Holy Grail Grand War was stopped."
When Kotomine Kirei finished speaking, his gaze fell directly on Jeanne d'Arc, who was following behind Tohsaka Rin.
Jeanne d'Arc d'Arc said, "This matter is somewhat complicated, but I have already contacted the Black Faction, and they have agreed to temporarily suspend the Holy Grail Grand War until the Singularity is repaired."
"Singularity?" Kotomine Kirei repeated, hands behind his back, "The current situation is clearly more advantageous to the Red Faction. Temporarily halting the Holy Grail Grand War at this time will give the Black Faction some breathing room, won't it?"
"You mean, fixing the Singularity is a lower priority than the Holy Grail Grand War?" Jeanne d'Arc countered.
Kotomine Kirei shook his head and said, "I just think that the Holy Grail Grand War doesn't need to be deliberately stopped. Repairing the Singularity and the Holy Grail Grand War are not contradictory."
He had previously felt a faint tremor while he was at the Holy Church, and after realizing that a battle had taken place near the air-raid shelter, he rushed there immediately.
They discovered a huge crater there.
Without a doubt, that's a level that only extremely powerful Heroic Spirit could achieve.
However, this alone is not enough to warrant a special suspension of the Holy Grail Grand War.
Tohsaka Rin smiled and said, "This is different. If this Singularity isn't addressed as a priority, it could lead to a major disaster."
Kotomine Kirei raised an eyebrow, about to continue speaking.
At that moment, he suddenly felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him.
I turned my head slightly and saw a head peeking out from the window.
Tiamat peered out the window, secretly observing him.
Almost the instant he was being stared at, Kotomine Kirei felt a chill run through his body, causing him to involuntarily stiffen.
This feeling, as if he were seeing a god, made his heart race. At that moment, a thought flashed through his mind: Is this really within the realm of Heroic Spirit?
Then, he quickly sensed two more pairs of eyes looking over from inside the room. Kotomine Kirei raised his head, and the moment his gaze met theirs, he instinctively took half a step back as if he had been electrocuted.
Then, looking at Jeanne d'Arc in disbelief, he murmured, "Is this your reason for temporarily ending the Holy Grail Grand War?"
Jeanne d'Arc nodded silently. "Do you have any other questions, Father?"
Kotomine Kirei remained silent.
Just then, he suddenly felt a light tap on his shoulder.
Immediately afterward, Tohsaka Tokiomi's steady and elegant voice came from behind. "What are you doing standing at the door, Kirei?"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on his daughter again, and he smiled, "Rin, the Holy Grail is important, but you also need to rest properly and not overwork yourself."
As he spoke, he looked at the girl blocking the doorway, seemingly preventing him from entering, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is it inconvenient for me to come in now?"
Tohsaka Rin seemed a little hesitant to speak, glanced behind her, nodded slightly, and politely declined, saying, "Um... it probably won't work for the next couple of days."
Tohsaka Tokiomi was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised, thinking to himself, "I was actually turned away by my own daughter?"
Just as he was about to ask for the reason, Kotomine Kirei suddenly whispered, "Sensei... there's a beast in the room."
beast...?
Tohsaka Tokiomi paused slightly, then turned slightly to the side, his gaze falling on the window.
His gaze froze slightly, and he instinctively exclaimed, "Tiamat?!"
He had just met this woman during the last Holy Grail War, and now he'd run into her again...
Could it be that the battle at the air-raid shelter was caused by Tiamat?
