Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking Chapter 242

The woman tilted her head slightly, puzzled, and asked, "Are you trying to pick me up?"

"I really feel like we've met somewhere before..."

Lan Ze's voice slowly stopped as he stared intently at the woman who was looking directly at him. The woman he had seen in the cave in Britain that day quietly overlapped with the woman before him.

That woman in the mural?!

The moment this thought flashed through his mind, another idea popped into his head:

Holy crap... I've been scammed!

"Did you hear me?"

"Hello?"

While Lan Ze was still in a daze, the questioning voice rang in his ears again. Only then did Lan Ze snap out of his daze and couldn't help but secretly glance at the blonde woman in front of him.

It was the dead of winter, yet this woman wore a rather thin white silk dress, her figure graceful and slender. The dress accentuated her waist, which could be encircled by a single hand. A strand of golden hair fell in front of her snow-white neck, and the thin fabric highlighted her slightly dazzling breasts, which were faintly visible in the dark night.

"You better not let me catch you again, Merlin... "Lan Ze swore fiercely in his heart, remembering this grudge.

Then, he calmed himself down a bit, looked up and smiled, "Sorry, I might have mistaken you for someone else."

He paused, then continued, "What's your name? Wandering the streets this late might be dangerous."

"Arcueid." The woman smiled, her eyes narrowing.

As she spoke, she glanced at the boy with a questioning look, then suddenly moved closer like a cat, sniffed his scent, and muttered, "Smells so good, I really want to try sucking some of his blood..."

Lan Ze's heart suddenly raced, and he subconsciously took two steps back, watching the blonde girl warily.

There's absolutely no mistake, this woman is the sleeping girl we saw in Britain that day!

However, he still doesn't know the other party's identity.

Her earlier mention of "vampire" is also quite concerning...

... Is she a vampire?

From this woman, Lan Ze clearly felt an even greater sense of oppression than that Goetia.

Merlin is practically begging for my death!

Lan Ze mentally cursed, keeping a safe distance from Arcueid while observing her seemingly pure red eyes, wondering why she was in Fuyuki.

Just then, he suddenly felt a light tap on his shoulder. Lan Ze's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head sharply, only to see Arcueid, who had just been in front of him, suddenly appear behind him. She leaned forward, opened her mouth, and pretended to bite his neck.

"Holy crap... you're serious?!" Lan Ze grabbed Arcueid's head, preventing her from getting any closer.

She had a faint, pleasant fragrance about her, and now she leaned forward like a cat, her two ahoge (cowlicks) swaying in the wind. Arcueid looked up and said, "Let me take a bite, just one bite."

"If you bite me, you'll turn into a vampire, right?!" Lan Ze shouted in disbelief.

"What's wrong with that? I want to taste the components of your body—"

That sounds terrible... Lan Ze looked down at the girl who was trying to bite him regardless of the consequences, and was about to speak to stop her.

At that moment, Arcueid suddenly raised his slender index finger.

Knock knock!

Lan Ze felt his heart suddenly race, and his body grew heavy, as if he had been filled with lead for a moment.

Similar to Sakura's Imaginary Number Magecraft, it can control the Servant's body...? Lan Ze's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly dismissed the guess.

No, this isn't Imaginary Number Magecraft; it's more like a form of mind control.

At that moment, he saw Arcueid slightly raise his hand, a faint golden light quietly surging in his palm, and then a handkerchief appeared in his hand.

Illusion Manifestation...?

Lan Ze's eyes slowly widened.

Like him, this woman also possesses a similar ability: to turn imagined things into reality?

As Lan Ze was thinking this, he suddenly saw Arcueid reach out and gently wipe his neck, then look up at him and say, "You seem very nervous?"

"Any normal person would be nervous hearing what you say, right?!" Lan Ze clenched his fist slightly and exerted force, breaking free from Arcueid's grasp.

Then, he quickly created some distance, staring warily into Arcueid's eyes, and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Arcueid rested his finger on his chin, thought for a moment, and then smiled, "An ordinary person."

"Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about ordinary people...?" Lan Ze thought to himself.

"And who are you? I sense a very interesting scent emanating from you," Arcueid said quietly, narrowing his eyes.

"An ordinary person," Lan Ze replied.

"Do you have some misunderstanding about ordinary people?" she asked, her brows furrowing slightly.

Just then, her stomach let out a soft growl. Arcueid gently touched her lower abdomen, looked up at Lan Ze, and said softly, "Never mind, let's put your identity aside for now and finish dinner first—"

She took a step forward as she spoke.

Almost instantly, an immense sense of oppression surged in like a tsunami. Lan Ze maintained a semblance of composure and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute! If you're hungry, I can take you to get some late-night snacks! I certainly don't taste as good as late-night snacks, right?!"

The woman, who had just been so aggressive, suddenly paused slightly, as if she was tempted; the two tufts of hair on her head swayed slightly.

They actually agreed...?

Lan Ze mentally scoffed, then continued, "You're new here, so you probably haven't found a place to stay yet. How about I take you to find a hotel to stay in tonight, and we can grab a late-night snack?"

Arcueid rested her chin on her hand, seemingly deep in thought about Lan Ze's words.

After thinking for a moment, she raised her head and looked at the unfamiliar young man in front of her again.

Hmm... he doesn't seem like a bad person... She nodded. "Okay."

Lan Ze breathed a sigh of relief, calmed himself down, and said, "Then come with me."

However, as he spoke, a strange feeling filled his heart.

Why do I have this feeling that I'm going out at night to abduct a clueless, unemployed girl...?

Although this seemingly emotionless girl's current performance suggests her combat strength is no less than Goetia's...

He had never actually witnessed this girl's combat skills, but based solely on the aura she exuded, Lan Ze could make this preliminary judgment.

The rain outside gradually stopped. In a hotel, after checking into a room, Lan Ze brought the mysterious blonde girl inside.

Because it was late at night, the landlady had all gone to sleep, and there was no one to cook, so Lan Ze had to cook noodles for her himself.

The priority now is to fill her stomach as quickly as possible to prevent this mysterious girl from developing the urge to drink blood again.

After a while, Lan Ze entered the room, carrying a steaming bowl of noodles and placing it on the table.

This is a room full of Japanese tradition. The girl who came from who knows where is sitting in front of the window. She has smooth blonde hair and two tufts of hair on her head that are pointing to the sides like a cockroach's head.

She looks just like a princess... Lan Ze watched this scene, thinking to himself.

He couldn't help but compare this girl to the older girl in his family. Sajyou Manaka's usual behavior was also very elegant, giving the impression of a medieval Imperial Princess. This woman, although she seemed very easygoing, somehow made people feel somewhat unapproachable.

Like Princess Kaguya on the moon, she is aloof and noble, someone one can only admire from afar.

"Miss Arcueid, your meal has arrived," Lan Ze reminded her.

Arcueid tilted her head, sniffed slightly, and her eyes lit up. "It smells wonderful."

Upon hearing this, Lan Ze proudly puffed out his chest and said, "My cooking skills are pretty good."

"But it doesn't smell as good as your blood," Arcueid continued.

Lan Ze: "..."

She looked at the silent boy, as if she knew what he was thinking, and smiled, "Don't worry, since you won't let me try it, I won't force you."

As she spoke, she picked up the bowl of noodles and began to devour it quickly.

Arcueid ate her noodles with remarkable elegance, yet at an astonishing speed, finishing the bowl in almost no time.

She put down the bowl and let out a satisfied sigh.

"Are you satisfied?" Lan Ze handed her a tissue.

Arcueid nodded slightly. "Your cooking is indeed quite good."

She didn't seem to harbor any hostility, at least not yet... Lan Ze mustered his courage and tentatively asked, "Miss Arcueid, you don't seem to be from this country... Where are you from?"

Arcueid glanced at him but didn't answer. Instead, her bright, beautiful eyes darted around, and she suddenly asked, "Are there any fun places to visit around here?"

"Are you here for tourism...? "Lan Ze really wanted to say that, but he held back.

Without a doubt, this woman is the 'vampire' that Kotomine Kirei mentioned tonight.

However, the Holy Church probably didn't know that the vampires they wanted to deal with would be such terrifying beings.

For now, it's best to keep Arcueid calm and find out her identity first... With that thought, Lan Ze got up, picked up the two chess boxes on the cabinet behind him, and then returned to Arcueid, pushing one of the chess boxes along the table in front of Arcueid.

"There aren't many fun places nearby, but we can play some indoor games," Lan Ze said.

"An indoor game?" Arcueid's curious gaze fell on the chess box on Lan Ze's table.

"You mean this?" She pointed to the chess box on the table.

Lan Ze nodded. "Let me teach you how to play chess."

"Playing chess?" Arcueid tilted his head slightly, somewhat puzzled.

"A chess game perfect for intelligent people." Lan Ze started fishing.

Seeing that Arcueid did not refuse, Lan Ze opened the chess box and explained the rules to her while playing chess with her.

He won the first set without any pressure.

In the second game, Arcueid roughly understood the rules and played seriously against Lan Ze while thinking, so winning wasn't so easy... However, this was actually part of Lan Ze's plan, since he couldn't discourage a newbie right from the start.

In the third game, Lan Ze deliberately won by a narrow margin.

In the fourth match, after a fierce battle lasting about ten minutes, Lan Ze barely managed to win.

Arcueid, a skilled player with a serious addiction, played round after round until she finally took the bait. She raised her bright, beautiful eyes and asked, "What game is this?"

"Gomoku)." Lan Ze smiled. "Want to continue?"

Arcueid nodded matter-of-factly. "Continue."

Lan Ze smiled slightly and said, "Okay."

He originally wanted to give Arcueid something to do and, incidentally, deepen their relationship... Merlin probably lured him here for the same reason.

However, Lan Ze didn't mind being lured out by Merlin, after all... he was also very curious about Arcueid's identity.

Could this woman have awakened from that "hole" in Britain and then run to this Singularity...? Lan Ze thought about this while playing chess with Arcueid, then raised his eyelids to steal a glance at her.

At this moment, a blonde woman was resting her chin on her hand, intently gazing at the chessboard. The fabric of her dress had slipped down slightly, revealing a glimpse of her snow-white skin that nearly captivated Lan Ze.

Lan Ze didn't dare to look any longer and quickly looked away to continue playing chess with her.

The two fought again. Lan Ze intended to let her win, but he also knew that even if she won, she would only feel a sense of accomplishment after putting in the effort.

Therefore, he initially fought Arcueid, and when the two were locked in fierce combat, he deliberately made a wrong move, allowing Arcueid to win by a narrow margin.

"Miss Arcueid is indeed very clever; I didn't expect her to win against me so easily." Lan Ze sighed, looking somewhat regretful.

Arcueid's brows relaxed, a faint smile curved his lips, and he stared at the chessboard with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"It's getting late, Miss Arcueid," Lan Ze said, taking his leave at the opportune moment.

Arcueid paused slightly, his smile fading slightly, "You're leaving?"

She hadn't had enough fun yet, and then this person said he wanted to leave?

"Play a few more rounds with me," she said.

Lan Ze politely declined, saying, "It's getting late, I have to go back. I'll come play chess with you again tomorrow."

"If you don't come by tomorrow night, I'll come looking for you myself." Arcueid looked up at him and smiled.

Lan Ze smiled slightly and hummed in agreement, "Don't worry, it's a deal."

He got up and left the hotel, glancing up at the gradually brightening sky outside, his heart sinking.

I can't believe I've been here this long...?
