Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

He could feel the terror of this Tide of Chaos. A normal person swallowed by this Tide of Chaos would probably turn completely dark.

Watching Lan Ze lost in thought, Tiamat withdrew the Tide of Chaos. She floated lightly towards Lan Ze and gently patted his head to comfort him:

"Your power is already very strong."

"You don't need to comfort me. I finally understand the gap between us," Lan Ze said helplessly.

He felt that after using his Noble Phantasm twice, he hadn't consumed much magic power, and he was still full of energy.

"You should keep watching anime, Mother," Lan Ze said. "I want to try again to see if I can create some other weapons."

Tiamat nodded and returned to the laptop, sitting obediently. Her attention was quickly captured by the anime's plot.

She had a strong ability to learn and a talent for languages. In just half a day, she had a general understanding of how to watch anime.

However, when speaking, Tiamat still preferred to use the most basic words; it had become a habit.

Lan Ze put the Star Sacred Sword back into the Gate of Babylon and began to conceive of other weapons.

This was where his imagination was tested, and... also his magic power.

Lan Ze closed his eyes tightly. After attempting to construct another mythical weapon, his magic power was almost depleted.

"I'm so hungry, I need to replenish my magic power again..." Lan Ze clutched his stomach and subconsciously glanced at Tiamat.

The woman was sitting on the floor like a Yamato Nadeshiko, her attention completely focused on the computer screen, seemingly unaware that someone was staring at her.

Lan Ze walked over to Tiamat and whispered, "Mother, I'm hungry again."

Tiamat turned her head and looked at Lan Ze. Seeing that his magic power had been depleted again, she let out a soft "Aaa" and nodded gently.

Lan Ze's heart leaped at her response. He rested the back of his head on her lap, continuously replenishing his magic power as he enjoyed the moment.

This method of replenishing magic power was much faster than the Holy Grail... Lan Ze let out a satisfied burp, thinking happily.

"Have you been too engrossed in games lately?"

In the early morning, Sajyou Manaka poured a glass of milk and placed it on the dining table. Then, she slammed the freshly toasted tomato toast onto the table, her face full of resentment.

"Huh?" Lan Ze glanced at the burnt bread on the table and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Haven't I always been like this?"

"That's true... but I've never seen you so addicted to any game before!" Sajyou Manaka said with a mournful tone. "It's as if you've found your dream lover, and your soul has been completely captivated."

"It's just a game, is it really that fun?" she complained silently about her accumulated resentment during this period.

No... I'm not addicted to the game, I'm addicted to Mother... Lan Ze thought to himself, shaking his head and smiling. "Once I beat it, I won't be addicted anymore. It's like reading a book; you can't wait to know the subsequent plot, so you keep reading until you reach the ending you desire, and then you're no longer so addicted."

"Mmm..." Sajyou Manaka paused, then mused thoughtfully, "I understand. It's similar to dating couples. Both individuals are like books, reading each other's stories. Once they finish reading, they get bored and break up..."

"That sounds like you're describing a player," Lan Ze quipped.

"After dating and adjusting to each other, if everything is fine, you can consider marriage. Why would you necessarily break up?"

"That's what they say... but not many people actually end up dating or even getting married, right?" Sajyou Manaka said.

"Hmm... that depends," Lan Ze pondered for a moment, then glanced at the bread on the table and joked, "If you can make breakfast like this someday, I think we'll be close to getting married."

"Really?" Sajyou Manaka's eyes lit up.

"Yes, on the condition that you can actually make it," Lan Ze smiled. "That way, I can be your kept man."

"It's precisely because you're always eyeing my family's fortune that I don't want to be your lover," Sajyou Manaka pouted unhappily.

"Eh..."

She glanced at the milk she had only taken a sip of on the table, then at Lan Ze, who had already stood up, and asked curiously, "Aren't you drinking milk this morning?"

"No need, I'll just have some water," Lan Ze said, shaking his head.

Milk... I'll drink it after I log in.

"Your body's nutrition will suffer if you don't," Sajyou Manaka reminded him.

My nutrition will definitely be fine... in fact, it's a bit too much.

Lan Ze shook his head and smiled. "This milk doesn't have a strong enough flavor."

"Does it?" Sajyou Manaka blinked, picked up the water cup from the table, and took a small sip.

She immediately asked in confusion, "It's quite sweet."

"Well... perhaps I'm just picky," Lan Ze said with a smile.

Sajyou Manaka gazed at Lan Ze, who had returned to his room. The young girl's eyes were filled with deep confusion and bewilderment.

"Why does it feel like he not only has the scent of a beast... but also possesses magic power himself?"

"Is it an illusion...?"

Time flowed by silently.

Unknowingly, Lan Ze had spent nearly half a month in this dreamscape.

During these past two weeks, he had used his Illusion Manifestation ability to construct a weapon every day. When he was thirsty, he drank milk. When he was hungry, he drank milk. When his magic power was insufficient... he still drank milk.

In short, he could now be very sure that his physical fitness had indeed improved significantly.

Not just in the game, but in reality as well.

This made Lan Ze completely certain that the game he was playing was actually a real world... or at least, the people and events he was seeing now were happening in reality.

He just didn't know why it was connected to the game disc in his room.

However, Lan Ze wasn't concerned about these things; he just wanted to feed Tiamat the Holy Grail.

"Aaaaa!"

Tiamat stood on the shore, her hands clasped together before her massive, human-like heart in a gesture of devout prayer, singing a beautiful song.

The melody was melodious and sorrowful, filled with sadness.

Lan Ze sat beside her, looking at her graceful form, feeling a bit helpless.

The reason for Tiamat's sadness was quite simple: it was because of an anime she had just finished watching a few days ago.

She had always identified with the second female lead, but in the end, the protagonist was the one who won.

This made Tiamat, who had been engrossed in the drama, very upset. It was the first time this Creation Mother Goddess had watched anime, and the ending left her feeling insecure.

"It's okay, the plot was decided from the beginning, but I'm different. I won't abandon you," Lan Ze said softly, standing by her side to comfort Tiamat.

"Aaa~Aaaaa~" Tiamat turned to look at her child and then, as if acting spoiled, let out two soft calls.

Seeing this, Lan Ze gently opened his arms, smiling, intending to give her a hug.

However, the next moment, his head was pressed down by Tiamat, and then gently pushed against her chest.

"Mmph..."

The unexpected embrace nearly suffocated Lan Ze.

He was immersed in Tiamat's immense maternal love, and it took him quite a while before he could finally break free from her arms, gasping for air.

It seemed that rather than being comforted, Mother seemed to prefer comforting others... especially with such an intimate embrace.

This woman is really clingy... Lan Ze couldn't help but sigh as he looked into Tiamat's gentle eyes.

"Aaaa?" Tiamat noticed Lan Ze's gaze, tilted her head slightly, and looked at him with confusion.

"It's nothing," Lan Ze shook his head and smiled.

After a pause, he continued, "By the way, Mother, do you want to see the outside world?"

Tiamat's body visibly stiffened. She looked down at Lan Ze, remained silent for a long time, and then gently shook her head, "Aaa (No thank you)."

"Aaaa (I'm happy just staying here.)"

As she said this, she hesitated for a moment before finally starting to sing softly, "Aaaaaa (If you want to leave, I won't stop you)."

"AaaaAAaa (Keeping you by my side has caused you a lot of trouble)."

She spoke faster and faster, her tone becoming anxious, as she thought Lan Ze had wanted to leave for a long time but had waited until now out of guilt.

"Aaaa (Don't worry about me)."

"Aaaaa (Go do what you want to do)."

"Aaaaa (... I'll be fine on my own...)."

Lan Ze looked at Tiamat with a mix of heartache and helplessness. Even now, this woman was still trying to comfort him. Although her comforting words were clumsy, roughly translating to "My child, don't worry about me," they conveyed her genuine sincerity.

"I want to leave here with you," Lan Ze gently interrupted her.

"I can let you leave here while remaining conscious."

Almost simultaneously, Tiamat visibly froze, staring blankly at Lan Ze.

She tilted her head, as if doubting she had heard correctly.

At this moment, Lan Ze raised his right hand and placed it on the woman's smooth, tender cheek, saying softly, "I'll take you away from here."

"We'll go to the outside world... and see how much this land has changed."

"But before we leave, you need to put on some clothes properly..."

"And also those horns on your head..."

Lan Ze rested his chin on his hand, examining the horns on Tiamat's head that couldn't be hidden no matter what.

If Tiamat were to leave like this, she'd probably be noticed immediately, right?

After all, how could an ordinary person have such horns on their head?

He needed to find a way to help conceal them... Lan Ze pondered for a moment and immediately came up with a solution.

He materialized a wide-brimmed hat with lace and walked over to Tiamat, placing it on her head. This perfectly covered her horns... although if one looked closely, they could still be seen, but at least they wouldn't be so obvious.

At this moment, Tiamat sat by the shore, her long, smooth, cyan hair cascading down like a waterfall to her calves. Her expression was filled with unease.

Lan Ze had told her he could take her away with him, but she still found it hard to believe.

Even so, she had dressed up very seriously, putting on the dress and skirt Lan Ze had prepared for her. A black sash was gently tied around her slender waist, prominently accentuating her full bosom.

Her cheeks were flushed with a healthy glow. Towards the outside world, this Creation Mother Goddess held a mixture of excitement and trepidation.

"You look beautiful," Lan Ze praised after examining her from head to toe for a while.

It was worth the effort to materialize the clothes he had seen in fashion magazines in recent days. Although the student uniform skirt Tiamat wore before was very appealing, he felt that Tiamat in her current attire was equally cute and alluring.

As expected, being good-looking means you can do whatever you want.

"Are you sure it won't be a bother?" Tiamat looked up at Lan Ze.

"No, don't worry," Lan Ze just smiled.

He extended his hand to Tiamat, "Let's go."

This time, Tiamat didn't say anything else. She gently placed her hand in Lan Ze's, then saw his lips part slightly as if he whispered something.

And in the next moment, the environment before their eyes shattered like a dream bubble. Lan Ze only heard a cold, emotionless mechanical voice in his ear:

[Task Complete: Escorted Tiamat out of the dreamscape. Reward: Spirit Core Expansion 20%]

At the same time, Lan Ze felt a subtle change within his body.

He felt that the magic he had just refilled was now significantly depleted again.

Clearly, this was the Spirit Core Expansion the System had mentioned.

"Looks like I'll have to find time to replenish my magic again..." Lan Ze muttered to himself, his gaze subconsciously lingering on Tiamat for a moment longer.

The woman was currently wearing a knee-length black dress, its hem printed with what looked like dancing butterflies. The skirt swayed gently in the breeze, revealing fair, luminous skin beneath.

She hadn't appeared in this land for a long time. Standing before the mountain peak now, her usually calm, beautiful red eyes shimmered with a hint of joy.

She gazed out at the land of Mesopotamia, her mouth slightly open, revealing a cute canine tooth.

Then, in the next moment, Tiamat clasped her hands together at her chest and began to sing a beautiful "Aaa~" song.
