Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking
Lan Ze was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Thank you for the treat...?"
"That's not what I meant!" Sajyou Manaka's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head shyly, whispering:
"Why do you talk about them as if they were food...?"
As she finished speaking, certain scenes from just moments ago flashed through her mind, including the image of Lan Ze nestled in her arms, and her face flushed even more.
Thinking about it carefully, this guy actually seemed to have mistaken her for food just now.
Thinking of this, she curled her toes up uncomfortably, then glanced at Lan Ze with a resentful look and said softly, "So filthy, I'll have to wash my feet when we get out."
Lan Ze simply smiled, gently holding the girl's slender body in his arms, without saying a word.
Sajyou Manaka didn't dwell on the matter any further, but simply gently stroked Lan Ze's back with her small hand.
Although she had originally planned to use Magic Potion on Lan Ze before slowly interrogating him, she suddenly felt that the adult Lan Ze was also quite nice... Although having the young Lan Ze lean on her and call her "sister" could indeed give her psychological satisfaction.
But leaning against him like this now is also very reassuring and satisfying.
It seems we won't need to use the Magic Potion for now.
"Oh, right." Sajyou Manaka suddenly remembered something, raised her eyes and stared at Lan Ze, saying, "Where did you go last night?"
The pleasant atmosphere from just now vanished, Lan Ze's wonderful mood, which had been immersed in this warmth, also soured.
He paused for a moment, then finally decided to tell the truth, saying, "Merlin came to the manor last night and then tricked me into going outside..."
"After that, I met a woman—"
Sajyou Manaka's gentle smile vanished instantly, her eyes darkening in a flash, and she said, "Get to the point."
The key point is that I took her to a hotel room... Lan Ze said, "That woman is the one who was sleeping in that cave in Britain that day."
Sajyou Manaka was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly muttered to herself, "How is this possible... How could she wake up prematurely?"
Lan Ze gently wrapped his arm around the girl's smooth, white waist and tentatively asked, "Do you know anything?"
Sajyou Manaka was silent for a moment, then let out a soft sigh, "Originally, I didn't want you to get involved in this, but now that she's awake... well, that's another story."
Lan Ze didn't speak, but stared curiously at the girl's solemn expression.
He had never seen Sajyou Manaka look so serious before... No, Aika is quite serious when she's studying recipes.
In short, he had never seen Sajyou Manaka look so serious when facing the enemy.
"Who is she?" Lan Ze asked.
To everyone's surprise, Sajyou Manaka simply shook her head. "I don't know her identity."
"However, I think she must be the most perfect creature on this planet."
The last most perfect being had already given up thinking in outer space... Lan Ze said, "She seems to be a vampire?"
Sajyou Manaka nodded, then shook her head. "Not a vampire, to be precise, she should be a True Ancestor."
Seeing that Lan Ze didn't seem to understand, Sajyou Manaka continued, "The True Ancestors are actually beings created by the planet based on humans. They have almost no flaws... except for the urge to drink blood."
Lan Ze recalled that when he met Arcueid last night, the latter seemed to have the same idea of sucking his blood.
Although he eventually satisfied me with a bowl of ramen.
"She didn't seem hostile," Lan Ze said.
Sajyou Manaka hummed in agreement. "Perhaps it's because you're not her target that she's not hostile towards you."
As she said this, she suddenly seemed to remember something important, and abruptly raised her eyelids to stare into Lan Ze's eyes. "So you were with her last night?"
Lan Ze did not deny it, and nodded frankly, saying, "I saw that she seemed to be new here, so I helped her get a room first. Afterwards, in order to investigate her identity, I talked to her for a while."
Sajyou Manaka narrowed her eyes. "That True Ancestor, would be alone in a room with someone of the opposite sex?"
"When I first saw her last night, she originally wanted to drink blood, but I made her a midnight snack... and she gave up the idea," Lan Ze said.
"We really didn't do anything."
Sajyou Manaka stared into Lan Ze's eyes, wanting to say something more.
Just then, she suddenly felt the hands that were wrapped around her waist in the blankets starting to wander again. Sajyou Manaka's heart raced slightly, and a wave of shyness washed over her. She lowered her head and softly murmured, "Mmm."
"I... I understand, I believe you..."
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. That True Ancestor wouldn't be interested in the opposite sex, and no matter what, it's impossible for Lan Ze to have any intimate interaction with that True Ancestor in just one night.
Sensing the boy's seemingly restless yet intense gaze, Sajyou Manaka seemed to understand what he wanted to do, but she lowered her head and whispered:
"What a wicked guy..."
As she spoke, the Princess of the Root's usual arrogant attitude vanished. She simply bit her lip, and her eyes gradually filled with a misty haze, sparkling in the dim light.
She slightly raised her small face, her lips parted slightly, looking as if she were ready to be taken.
Lan Ze could no longer resist and leaned forward again, gently taking the girl's lips.
Just as he was about to experience again the wondrous feeling he had just experienced when entering and exiting the Root, he suddenly felt an astonishing chill coming from behind him.
Lan Ze was about to take the next step when he abruptly stopped, a bad premonition suddenly rising in his heart for some reason.
He slowly turned his head and saw a girl in a kimono standing by the bedside. Her figure was graceful, and the thin ribbons of her kimono outlined her slender waist. Her beautiful eyes were like the starry sky, which made people feel fear at first glance.
"... Sister Shi?"
Lan Ze called out the girl's name with difficulty. In that instant, various images flashed through his mind like fleeting shadows, as if a person would see all sorts of past memories before they die.
Sajyou Manaka clearly noticed the anomaly as well. She looked up, then narrowed her eyes. "It's quite surprising that you also found the entrance to the flower field."
Ryougi Shiki was silent for a moment, then gazed intently at Sajyou Manaka: "What are you doing?"
Sajyou Manaka squinted and smiled, "Isn't it obvious at a glance? I was just letting him experience the feeling of the Root in a very ordinary way."
After saying that, she ignored Ryougi Shiki and looked at Lan Ze, saying softly, "Let's ignore her and continue doing what we were doing before."
As if wanting to show off in front of Ryougi Shiki, Sajyou Manaka abandoned her previous shyness, hooked her arms around Lan Ze's neck, and then brought her lips to Lan Ze's lips, kissing him again.
However, at this moment, Lan Ze had completely lost the enjoyment he had just felt, and only felt a chill running down his spine.
He began to worry that Ryougi Shiki might find his "death date" and then kill him with a single blow.
But after a while, he still didn't feel any movement from Ryougi Shiki. Just as he was about to turn his head, he suddenly felt a wonderful touch from a soft body behind him.
Lan Ze's body stiffened slightly, and Sajyou Manaka looked at the girl in front of her with some surprise, saying, "What are you doing?"
Ryougi Shiki had been gently hooking her arm around Lan Ze's neck from behind, a shy blush creeping across her usually cold face.
Meeting Sajyou Manaka's sharp gaze, she raised her eyes and said softly, "If you can do that, then of course I can too, right?"
As Sajyou Manaka's eyes slowly widened, Ryougi Shiki gently pressed Lan Ze's head with one hand before kissing the boy's lips.
After a long while, the kiss slowly came to an end. At this moment, not only Sajyou Manaka, but even Lan Ze was a little stunned, and subconsciously shouted:
"... Sister Shi?"
He had already prepared himself to be attacked... but to his surprise, the other party's reaction was not what he had imagined.
"Do you find it incredible?"
Ryougi Shiki smiled faintly, gently stroking Lan Ze's face with her hand, then glanced at Sajyou Manaka and said softly, "I don't actually want to compete with the Princess of the Root for anything."
She paused, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lan Ze, and continued, "Besides, since this is Dreamscape, let's just treat everything we're about to do as a dream."
As she finished speaking, her gaze fell on Sajyou Manaka. After their eyes met, Sajyou Manaka pouted, turned her face away, and then gently grasped Lan Ze's hand with her small hand, which was taken as her tacit approval of her actions.
Ryougi Shiki gently took Lan Ze's other hand and placed it on the thin ribbon tied to her kimono. She slowly untied the ribbon, and the kimono that had been covering her graceful figure loosened slightly, revealing a glimpse of snow-white skin beneath the hem.
She raised her alluring eyes, gently hooked her arm around Lan Ze's neck, and a delicate fragrance wafted into his nostrils, making Lan Ze feel a little dizzy.
He glanced at Ryougi Shiki instinctively. The girl's cool face was flushed with a faint blush, and her lips were slightly pursed, giving her a sexiness unlike anything he had seen before.
She gazed back at Lan Ze, then leaned closer, whispering in his ear, "I will grant you anything you wish to do, and in return..."
"You'll have to take responsibility afterwards and help me put my kimono back on, okay?"
In the basement, Mashu, dressed in a sexy bodysuit, half-squatted on the ground, looking at Merlin, who had already been interrogated and was now bound by the Sea of Life, lamenting the injustice of Merlin fate.
She asked, "Mr. Merlin, are you alright?"
Merlin looked up at Mashu, then sighed, "Miss Mashu is such a good person. Only you care about me, unlike my pet that I've had for so long, which kicks me the moment it sees me."
As he finished speaking, he glared resentfully at the white familiar that Mashu was holding in her arms. Its furry body was curled up in Mashu's chest, seemingly enjoying the soft feeling.
Two chubby little paws rested on Mashu's knees, her beastly eyes filled with ecstasy, as if the background were all pink.
Upon hearing Merlin's words, Fou immediately abandoned her previous dazed state and was about to swing her two chubby paws at Merlin again. Mashu quickly pressed down on her head and said, "Fou, you can't do that!"
Fou struggled a few more times in Mashu's arms before gradually relaxing as if giving up.
Seeing this, Mashu breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Merlin who was wrapped up like a dumpling by the Sea of Life, and asked, "Mr. Merlin, what grudge did you have against Fou before?"
"There's no real grudge. I just sent it out of the tower so it could pursue its freedom," Merlin said innocently.
Mashu glanced down at Fou and asked, "Is that so?"
"Fou!" Fou cried out indignantly, her large, watery beast eyes glaring at Merlin.
Mashu paused slightly, then, as if understanding the words of the white familiar in her arms, exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Merlin threw you directly off the tower?"
Fou nodded quickly, her eyes filled with anger.
Noticing Mashu's pure and confused gaze, Merlin felt a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and said, "Well... it was indeed my fault. I didn't calculate the timing properly before throwing it out of the tower."
Hearing Merlin's words, Mashu couldn't help but feel sorry for the little familiar in her arms, and gently stroked its head to comfort it.
"It seems like it's been a long time since we've had a proper conversation. Come here and let me see if you've grown up," Merlin said with a smile.
Fou glanced at Merlin, then turned her head away with a "humph," expressing her disdain.
Faced with the choice between Naiko and Merlin, it still chose Naiko.
"What a lecherous fellow!" Merlin snorted, turning his head away to express his disdain for Fou.
Then, noticing Mashu's gaze, he glanced at her and smiled, "Miss Mashu, is there anything else you want to ask me?"
Everyone had left after the interrogation ended, except for Mashu, who remained. It was obvious that she wanted to talk to him alone about something.
Mashu hesitated slightly, looking at the man who was still smiling, and said, "Mr. Merlin, aren't you angry?"
Merlin was taken aback. "Why are you angry?"
Looking into Mashu's eyes, he seemed to understand her meaning and said with a smile, "You want to ask me if I'm not angry with Lan Ze...?"
When Mashu gave a soft "hmm," Merlin suddenly chuckled and said, "I won't blame him."
"After all, from a human emotional perspective, I did indeed trick him several times, so it's only right that I got beaten up."
So, Mr. Merlin, you do have some sense of things after all... Mashu continued, somewhat puzzled, "But why do you always make your seniors do certain things? Can't you just have someone else do it?"
Upon hearing this, Merlin sighed softly.
Mashu's eyes flickered slightly: Could there be some hidden story I'm unaware of?
Thinking about it carefully, Mr. Merlin possesses the ability to see things from Clairvoyance, and thus can indeed see more than the average person.
His repeated choices of Lan Ze suggest he might have foreseen certain scenarios in the future.
Thinking of this, Mashu was about to speak when she saw Merlin slowly raise his head, his face serious, and say:
"It can be changed, but there's no need."
Mashu: "..."
Looking at this nightmare that seemed to be clowning around, she suddenly realized that everyone might not have actually hit the wrong person just now.
"And considering that Lan Ze is going through the same thing, I'm actually quite balanced in my mindset," Merlin continued with a smile.
The senior was also suffering the same fate... Mashu's eyes flickered slightly, then she silently stood up and said, "Mr. Merlin, please rest well. I have something to attend to and will be leaving now."
"Do you want to go check on things over there, Senpai?" Merlin mimicked Mashu's tone when calling out "Senpai."
Mashu remained expressionless, slightly turning her head to look at Merlin, and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else, Mr. Merlin?"
Seeing the same smile on Mashu's face as always, Merlin felt a sudden jolt in his heart, and his body trembled.
"Strange... Why do I sense murderous intent from Mashu?" Merlin muttered to himself, then quickly shook his head, dismissing the thought from his mind. He gave a mysterious smile and said, "Lan Ze is currently in my sea of flowers. It's impossible to find him directly."
"But I have a way to get you in to find him," Merlin continued.
