A Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking Chapter 241

Minamoto no Raikō stood behind him, silently gazing at the boy's back with exceptionally gentle eyes.

Ever since he learned that Lan Ze didn't mind her demonic side, Minamoto no Raikō's affection for Lan Ze increased dramatically.

Because people in the past would always look at her with awe, but I could not feel any awe in his eyes.

This is exactly what she wants... but how should she treat him?

Thinking of this, Minamoto no Raikō slightly turned his head, looked at a tightly closed room, and murmured to himself:

"I wonder how that mother views 'children'?"

Recalling Lan Ze's words, Minamoto no Raikō pondered for a moment before quietly heading towards Tiamat's sleeping room.

In the dead of night, the lights of the Fuyuki are faint, and the buildings stand tall against the night sky.

On the rooftop of a certain building, the white-haired monk sat humming a song, gazing in a certain direction, and sighed:

"I guess I'm still too kind. I've been tricked so many times and I still end up helping that guy Lan Ze."

There are probably not many people left who are as upright and kind as I am, repaying evil with good.

It's just a pity that he can't see Lan Ze now, and he doesn't know how that guy is doing now that he's gone back...

Although Merlin could see Lan Ze with his Clairvoyance, Merlin dared not do so.

After all, there are too many people in the Tohsaka Family mansion now... They'd probably be noticed immediately if you just glanced at them.

"Well, there shouldn't be any problems for now... I should check what the other Servant are up to..."

Merlin muttered something to himself, his gaze sweeping intently over Fuyuki.

Suddenly, a feeling of palpitation made his heart beat a little faster, and his gaze fixed in a certain direction.

There was a very unfamiliar woman walking down the street... However, in just a moment, Merlin was startled, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly looked away.

Vampire?!

And they're not ordinary vampires...

After reaching this conclusion, Merlin immediately thought of another matter: if he remembered correctly, the Holy Church was specifically responsible for heresy... and vampires were one of them.

Oh no, we have to stop them!

"I can't push that woman too far..." Merlin hurriedly jumped off the rooftop and rushed towards the direction of the Holy Church.

At this very moment, in the main hall of the Holy Church, two men are having a conversation with their hands behind their backs.

Tohsaka Tokiomi walked slowly forward along the bench in the hall, his voice calm as he asked, "Kirei, you previously mentioned that there were suspected vampires entering Fuyuki. Is that true?"

Opposite Tohsaka Tokiomi, his disciple Kotomine Kirei was also walking along a row of benches, circling around Tohsaka Tokiomi.

Classic Errenzhuan (a type of folk performance). jpg

"About two days ago, another branch of the church sent word that, if the information is accurate, then vampires have indeed entered Fuyuki."

Kotomine Kirei shook his head slightly at this point, saying, "However, we still haven't found the vampire's whereabouts."

"Do vampires even exist?" Tohsaka Tokiomi murmured to himself.

"I wouldn't be surprised by any creature that appears now," Kotomine Kirei smiled and said softly, "After all, the creatures living in your house now are, in my opinion, far more surprising than the existence of vampires."

Upon hearing this, Tohsaka Tokiomi couldn't help but chuckle, then shook his head and said, "Fortunately, with that king around, those beasts shouldn't do anything too outrageous."

"King Arthur...?" Kotomine Kirei murmured to himself.

He recalled that on the night before the Holy Grail was summoned, his daughter Karen had also said that she wanted to summon "King Arthur".

Looking back now, Karen really had foresight.

Summoning King Arthur is tantamount to securing victory in the Holy Grail War.

"Should we try to monitor those beasts secretly?" Kotomine Kirei suddenly asked.

Tohsaka Tokiomi paused slightly, turned to look at his disciple, and said expressionlessly, "Do you have a way to monitor this secretly?"

Kotomine Kirei hesitated for a moment, then said, "If we use Magecraft or something similar, I wonder if it would be possible to monitor their movements—"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a clear laugh came from the church doors, "It's better not to do that. You'll be detected the moment you try to monitor it, and if the other party has a bad temper, they might even grab the caster and beat them up."

The master and apprentice paused slightly during their duet, and simultaneously turned their heads to look.

A man dressed in a white mage's robe came into view.

He wore a mysterious smile, his eyes were deep and unfathomable. A glance from him made one feel as if they were peering into an abyss, with no bottom in sight.

"Who are you?!" Kotomine Kirei was startled.

The white-haired mage smiled slightly, "You may be unfamiliar with my name, but you should have heard of the title 'King-Servant'."

"I am Merlin, the Court Mage Britain."

The master and disciple exchanged a glance, and then Kotomine Kirei regained his composure and nodded expressionlessly. "I've heard of you."

Tohsaka Tokiomi nodded in agreement. "I've heard of that too."

"Eh~?" Merlin was a little surprised, his eyes widening as he asked, "Has Merlin's reputation spread this far?"

"King Arthur often mentioned you," Tohsaka Tokiomi said.

He recalled that during the last Holy Grail Grand War, Lan Ze initially impersonated Merlin, but after being exposed, he claimed that what he did was exactly what Merlin would do.

For this reason, he didn't have a good impression of Merlin.

"King Arthur...?" Merlin repeated, then suddenly realized, "You mean Lan Ze? What did he say?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi simply smiled slightly and said, "He said you are a sentimental person who has seen through the vanities of the world, living in seclusion in a tower, and witnessing all the vicissitudes of human life."

Merlin first said "Oh," thinking to himself that he hadn't expected to be so highly regarded by Lan Ze.

Then, he suddenly realized what was happening and said indignantly, "He's insulting me, isn't he?!"

High emotional intelligence: A sentimental person who sees through the vanities of the world, lives in seclusion in a tower, and has witnessed all the vicissitudes of human life.

Low emotional intelligence: a shut-in, a busybody who likes to mess with others, and a lecherous voyeur.

Kotomine Kirei suddenly asked, "Why did you make a special trip to Fuyuki, Mr. Merlin... to repair the Singularity?"

Merlin composed himself slightly, smiled faintly, and said, "Originally it was to repair the Singularity, but now, there's a new mission."

"A new mission?" The master and apprentice exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

Tohsaka Tokiomi asked, "Is there anything we can help you with?"

Merlin smiled slightly and said, "I only have one request."

"Don't interfere in the matter of that vampire in Fuyuki."

Kotomine Kirei paused slightly, then frowned and said, "This is not something I can decide; it's an order from headquarters."

Merlin, like a good brother, put his arm around Kotomine Kirei's shoulder and laughed, "Delaying it for a few days is fine. This matter is of great importance. If we interfere with the investigation recklessly, it could cause a major disaster."

As he finished speaking, Merlin suddenly stopped smiling, his eyes revealing a serious expression.

Even Kotomine Kirei couldn't refuse a quasi -Grand Heroic Spirit who had put it this way. He glanced at Tohsaka Tokiomi, who nodded slightly, and he nodded in return. "I'll ask my father about it when I get back tonight."

Merlin hummed in agreement, then turned to leave.

Tohsaka Tokiomi suddenly asked, "What are your plans next, Mr. Merlin?"

Merlin turned to look at the elegant man, smiling like an old fox, and said, "Find a way to appease that vampire first."

After he finished speaking, he gazed in the direction of the Tohsaka Family's residence.

Lan Ze walked to the balcony and stared at the gradually stopping rain outside, looking as if he was in a daze.

Yes... he just looks like he's spacing out.

At this moment, a special interface popped up in front of Lan Ze.

The text displayed above is a small message: [Special Mission: Forge the Gem Sword within one year]

Yes... this is the system.

"If you don't come out soon, I'll almost forget about you..." Lan Ze clicked the accept button, mentally complaining.

"To provide players with an immersive experience, the system will only appear at appropriate times." The system's cold, mechanical voice echoed.

That's what they say, but actually, there was a period of time before when Lan Ze didn't receive the Holy Grail summons through the virtual glasses, but rather through his own spirit body, so the system naturally didn't work.

"You're probably the first system that gets abandoned after a while," Lan Ze thought to himself with a vengeance.

The system remained silent, whether it was hurt by Lan Ze's words or simply too lazy to pay attention to his sarcasm, it was unclear.

Lan Ze didn't want to continue mocking the system. He simply lay on the balcony watching the night sky, and after a long while, he sighed.

"Although I managed to get away with feigning unconsciousness today with Merlin's help... what should I do when I 'wake up' tomorrow? Should I continue pretending to be asleep?"

"No way, everyone here is a beast, they can tell at a glance whether I'm faking sleep or not..." Lan Ze quickly shook his head, rejecting the idea.

Then, he suddenly became indignant. "It's all Goetia's fault. If it hadn't wanted to burn down Humanity's Order for no reason, why would I need to call for help?"

If we hadn't asked someone for help, we wouldn't have faced this trouble.

"It's like the calm before the storm..." Lan Ze sighed as he gazed at the night sky outside, beginning to ponder how he would face everyone after "waking up" tomorrow.

Right now, all we can do is hope that Chaldea can find the location of the Temple of Time as soon as possible, and then deal with Goetia... No, we can't kill it, but at least beat it until it questions its existence and gives up on burning away Humanity's Order.

In short, all we can do now is hope that Chaldea can be more efficient.

As Lan Ze sighed inwardly, he suddenly vaguely saw a white figure flash by in front of him.

Lan Ze jumped, instinctively exclaiming, "Merlin?!"

Merlin actually dares to swagger in here? Isn't he afraid of being spotted by Mother of All and the others, and getting beaten up again?

A sudden inspiration struck Lan Ze, and he thought to himself, "Capture Merlin and have him perform another hypnotic Magecraft on me at the right time."

Glancing at the quiet hall behind him, Lan Ze leaped down from the window and chased after the white figure.

"Merlin, wait a minute!" Lan Ze shouted.

However, the man in front held nothing back; instead, upon hearing Lan Ze's voice, he accelerated and sped forward.

"Why are you running? Stop right now, I promise I won't hit you!" Lan Ze shouted.

It has to be said that Merlin truly lives up to his name; while he may not excel at much else, his escape speed is exceptionally fast. The two chased each other for several minutes until, just as Lan Ze was about to completely lose track of Merlin's voice, Merlin's voice was about to disappear from sight.

Since you won't listen when I try to talk to you calmly, don't blame me for taking action!

Lan Ze suddenly let out a loud "Aaa!" and transformed into a demonic dragon, abandoning all martial ethics as he pounced on the white figure on the ground.

But the moment he pounced, the man who had just been chasing him suddenly turned into a blur and disappeared from sight.

"Illusion?!"

Lan Ze was slightly taken aback, then glanced around.

Without a doubt, Merlin should be nearby... he's just deliberately using illusion magic to conceal his presence...

"What on earth is Merlin up to? Is he deliberately trying to lure me out...?" Lan Ze muttered to himself, as the dragon's figure slowly shrank.

Finally, his physique returned to that of a teenager, his soft black hair slightly disheveled from the chase.

Suddenly, he vaguely heard a confused woman's voice coming from under his 'claws':

"Who are you?"

Lan Ze was startled and subconsciously looked down, only then realizing that there was another woman standing where he had just collapsed.

She had long golden hair, wore a pure white dress, and looked at him with a confused expression in her red eyes.

Why are there still women wandering around the streets so late...?

Also, did she see me turn into a dragon?

Lan Ze secretly observed the woman, lingering for a moment on her delicate face, wondering if he should use Suggestion Magecraft to make her forget everything she had just seen.

But then, his heart skipped a beat, and his gaze became fixed on the woman in front of him.

Why does this woman look so familiar?

"Have we met somewhere before?" Lan Ze asked, his words sounding more like a flirtation.
