Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

And Mother looked expectant... Is she seeing Lan Ze as a child or a lover?!

Ishtar even wondered, if Lan Ze and Tiamat actually became lovers, wouldn't she have to call Lan Ze "Father"?

This scene kept flashing in her mind, making the goddess's mood suddenly turn a little complicated.

If the Divine Messenger were to be with her in the future, how should she address him?

Would she really have to call him "Father"?

"We're leaving." After Lan Ze said this to Ishtar, he took Tiamat's hand and left the temple.

Behind them, Ishtar was still in shock. She stood at the temple gate, watching the two leave. Her eyes flickered, and she finally mounted Ma'anna and flew into the sky.

Never mind, since Mother wants to go on a date, I'll escort her today!

Ishtar seemed to not realize that Lan Ze should be her lover, not Tiamat's. If this were modern times, it would probably be like the girlfriend's lover going on a date with the girlfriend's mother, and the girlfriend having to play both parent and mother to help them complete the date smoothly.

...A proper victim.

Meanwhile.

In the King's Hall, Merlin, who had just returned from outside the city, stood beside Gilgamesh, offering him advice. They planned to secretly sever the thread between Gorgon and Tiamat before the day after tomorrow, and were currently discussing the details.

Just then, Merlin's previously eloquent voice suddenly paused.

"What's wrong?" Gilgamesh noticed Merlin's strange expression and asked.

"Lan Ze and Tiamat are currently outside Uruk's city gates."

Gilgamesh was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly. "No need to be nervous. Observe their movements first. That young man should have his own judgment. Just observe their movements."

Even so, Gilgamesh took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to calm himself down.

However, no matter how calm he was, facing the Creation Mother Goddess, he couldn't help but feel some psychological pressure.

After all, he didn't know what Lan Ze was planning to do.

Why did he bring Tiamat to Uruk?

"My King!"

At that moment, a Uruk soldier rushed into the King's Hall, looking somewhat panicked.

"Speak," Gilgamesh commanded.

"Two people are outside and want to enter the city. They also said..." The Uruk soldier hesitated.

"Said what?" Gilgamesh asked.

"They said... they said they're here for a date, and to tell you that you would agree to let them in."

"...A date?"

Gilgamesh blinked, his scarlet eyes filled with confusion.

He even doubted if he had heard correctly.

"You said they're here... for a date?"

That young man, going on a date with the mother of creation of this land... for a date?!

What is Lan Ze up to?

Merlin whispered, "My King, please calm down. Tiamat's emotions might be unstable. Lan Ze going on a date with her is probably due to various considerations."

"Hahahaha... This King is very calm. Where do you see that this King is not calm? Why am I not calm?" Gilgamesh looked up at Merlin with his red eyes, as if showing him his calmness.

Merlin looked at the Golden King, at the astonishment and shock reflected in his red eyes, and nodded silently. "Yes, I see it. You are very calm."

...Not at all.

But it wasn't just Gilgamesh; even he, a court mage who didn't understand human hearts, was a little surprised.

"Hoo..."

Gilgamesh took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He gazed at the Uruk soldier before him and said in a deep voice, "Let them in. Also, inform the residents of the city to provide the best environment for their date."

The Uruk soldier clearly hesitated, subconsciously looking up as if he thought he had misheard.

"Just do as this King says and let them complete their date smoothly... This is for Humanity's Order," Gilgamesh said softly.

This is... the most ancient date!

"Although I've decided to take Mother out on a date, how can I give her a good dating experience...?"

After Lan Ze brought Tiamat into the city, he realized he might have thought too little about it.

Logically, he should be taking Tiamat on a date filled with beautiful memories right now, but--

He'd never dated before.

He's a shut-in.

And... he's just an LSP.

LSP is someone who can talk endlessly about all sorts of fetishes and give friends dating advice, but when you ask them to actually go on a date with a girl... Sorry, no experience.

Lan Ze found himself in such an awkward situation.

He didn't know how to give Tiamat a date full of memories. Although following the plot of the anime he'd watched before seemed possible, but... Uruk simply didn't have that many entertainment facilities.

At most, he could take Tiamat hiking or to see the sea, but Tiamat's own dreamscape was already an ocean; she was probably tired of it.

He could only take it one step at a time. No matter what, he had to give Mother of All a wonderful dating experience... Looking at the expectant look faintly showing on Tiamat's cheeks, Lan Ze made up his mind silently.

...Speaking of which, were there love hotels in this era?

Of course, he absolutely wasn't thinking of going straight to a hotel after the date... He was just considering that Tiamat, who had played all day, would need adequate rest after the date.

"Fresh lamb skewers, delicious and fresh lamb skewers for free--"

"Butter cake, freshly made butter cake giveaway--"

"Vegetable juice, free vegetable juice for anyone!"

As they walked into the city streets, Lan Ze heard various hawking sounds in his ears. He was immediately shocked by the enthusiastic residents.

This... are all these residents this nice?

All the food is free?

Although he loved getting things for free, this was a bit too strange, wasn't it?

"Is there anything you want to eat?" Lan Ze turned to look at Tiamat.

The woman's gaze was fixed on the food at various stalls. Her already star-shaped eyes were now shining with anticipation, twinkling.

"Then let's try everything," Lan Ze smiled.

And then--

Lan Ze realized something was wrong.

These local residents were too enthusiastic... Everything was given away for free. Whatever Tiamat wanted, they enthusiastically stuffed the corresponding food into Lan Ze's hands.

They even encountered a "most ancient painter" on the street carving an image on a clay tablet. The painter walked up and said, "Young man, I see you and this lady are a match made in heaven. Please let me depict the beautiful scene of you two together." This sounded a bit like those scammers on the street.

What shocked Lan Ze was that the painter's final carving was an incredibly lifelike portrait. The portrait was etched onto a clay tablet. Lan Ze thought to himself at the time, if this thing could be preserved for a few thousand years, it might become a local artifact.

But the problem was, they weren't a match made in heaven... Mother of All seemed to regard him as a child, even though he wanted her...

Oh... perhaps that revealed too much.

In short, Lan Ze felt a bit embarrassed to accept such a good piece of art for free, so he took out one of the Star Slice Gems that Ishtar had given him earlier and gave it to the artist.

Even though the man didn't want it and kept saying it was all for art, Lan Ze threatened him, "This is a gem from the goddess Ishtar. Do you intend to refuse her?"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the painter silently accepted the gem.

In this city, no one dared to disrespect Ishtar.

Actually, Lan Ze had already guessed that this was probably Gilgamesh's doing.

If it were any other girl, he might have guessed that these people were plant.

But Tiamat couldn't guess, or rather, she hadn't noticed such an obvious flaw. She was still immersed in the joy of her first date.

Lan Ze didn't want to expose it, so he played along. They wandered around the city, and everyone cooperated with them. Even when they passed a larger house in the city in the afternoon, the residents there tearfully begged them to rest there that day.

"Aaaa (Dating is really good.)" Tiamat whispered.

She had experienced the feeling of a date with Lan Ze all day and felt it was pretty much as she had imagined. Moreover, the local residents were enthusiastic and spoke nicely.

It was just that everyone kept saying she and Lan Ze were a perfect match, which made Tiamat a little shy. Lan Ze was clearly her child, so how could he be her lover?

"Mmm... I'm glad you like it," Lan Ze smiled, thinking it would be strange if the dating experience wasn't good.

There were hardly any people on the street they were currently on. The entire street was incredibly empty, with only a few "passersby" occasionally walking past.

These few passersby were probably arranged by Gilgamesh, who feared the sense of incongruity would be too strong, to create a few "passersby" to enhance the atmosphere.

Everything was meticulously planned, all to satisfy this Creation Mother Goddess.

And Tiamat was indeed very satisfied. If there were a favorability system, Lan Ze would probably see words like "Favorability +1 +1 +1 +1 +1".

"Are you thirsty?" Tiamat suddenly asked, her gaze falling on the vegetable juice at a nearby stall.

This woman probably truly believed that dating was a wonderful thing now. After all, everything was given away for free. When she was tired, someone offered a chair; when she was thirsty, someone offered water; even a passerby on the street would give them a thumbs-up and praise them.

The street wasn't crowded at all. Everything in this world was good... and humans weren't aliens.

"Do you want to drink vegetable juice?" Lan Ze asked.

Tiamat shook her head gently. She was just worried that Lan Ze might be thirsty. As a Beast, she was fine even without eating or drinking.

"Then no need. I'm not thirsty either," Lan Ze smiled and refused.

If he drank the vegetable juice now, he wouldn't have an excuse to be thirsty later and ask Mother of All for a drink...

"Is there anywhere else you'd like to go?" Lan Ze asked.

Tiamat looked up and thought for a moment, then gently shook her head.

She didn't have any ideas herself; everything was proceeding according to Lan Ze's dating itinerary.

Lan Ze thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go rest for a while first."

After walking all day, he was finally a bit tired... he needed to replenish some magical energy.

Lan Ze brought Tiamat into a large house nearby, and the residents warmly welcomed them.

But just as they were about to step through the doorway, Tiamat suddenly stopped.

She tilted her head slightly, looking beyond the gates of Uruk, as if contemplating something.

"What's wrong?" Lan Ze asked.

Tiamat shook her head with an "Aaa" and entered the house with Lan Ze.

Meanwhile, far beyond the gates of Uruk, a group from Chaldea and several Heroic Spirits were guarding the city entrance, keeping a close eye on the demonic beasts that had almost completely surrounded it.

The number of these demonic beasts was immense.

If so many of them charged into the city together, the entire city would likely be destroyed.

This was the decisive battle, the final decisive battle.

The people of Uruk had already made up their minds; they absolutely could not let these demonic beasts, nor the Beast Goddess standing among them, enter the city.

"In the end, you still refuse to submit to me?"

The Beast Goddess, or rather Gorgon, stood outside the city gates. Her body was enormous; while not as large as Tiamat, she still exuded a tremendous sense of pressure.

At this moment, she surveyed the Heroic Spirits before her.

Mashu raised her shield, blocking Ritsuka in front of her, and stared intently at the goddess ahead.

Beside her, several Heroic Spirits also raised their weapons, keeping a close watch on this Avenger.

Avenger, Gorgon.
