Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

"No, connected to the Root... a Beast?!"

Goetia's eyes were filled with shock.

If Goetia was the biggest surprise in the seventh Singularity, then Sajyou Manaka was the BUG of the seventh Singularity.

A true BUG!

A Beast connected to the Root, possessing self-awareness, yet capable of using Divine Era Magic!

This was the Princess of the Root!

"I'm not a Beast, I'm just a normal landlady. Recently, my tenant has been addicted to games every day. This morning, while preparing breakfast, I happened to see him in this Singularity and got curious, so I came to take a look. It's quite a long journey, surprisingly time-consuming."

Sajyou Manaka smiled faintly, but her smile was filled with resentment.

"Turns out, he really cheated on me."

"But even a cheating scumbag should be punished by me, after all, he's my tenant."

As she said this, she gazed at Goetia, "After I kill you, you don't seem to die, do you?"

"But it doesn't matter, you are already so weak, you've lost the value to fight me. Just obediently return to your temple."

She snapped her fingers.

It was merely a simple gesture, yet the surrounding mana seemed to erupt in cheers, rejoicing at being used by the Princess of the Root. Mana instantly gathered and then poured towards Goetia on the ground.

Explosion after explosion resounded, each one no less powerful than a Noble Phantasm's release. While Goetia's anti-summoning could grant immunity to Heroic Spirits' attacks, Sajyou Manaka was not a Heroic Spirit.

She was the Princess of the Root, and also a Beast...

Beast VI.

As the final explosion faded, Goetia's figure quietly disappeared.

To be precise, it had returned to the Temple of Time to await rebirth after death.

Then, under everyone's stunned gazes, Sajyou Manaka slowly stood up. She gently brushed the dust off her skirt, turned her head to look at Lan Ze, and smiled faintly.

"Why are you looking at me so surprised? Didn't I tell you already,"

"I really know magic."

As she said this, her gaze suddenly fell upon Tiamat.

After lingering for a moment on the woman's majestic chest, Sajyou Manaka's gaze then fell upon the two hands clasped tightly together.

Then, the young girl's smile, which had remained so calm even when facing Goetia, slowly froze.

She was cute.

She was powerful.

She was a princess favored by the Root.

She was Sajyou Manaka, a princess connected to the Root since birth, also known as... Sayo Ryokuga.

As for this appellation, the reason was quite obvious.

Because... she had been cheated on...

The powerful Princess of the Root, at this very moment, smelled the scent of a Beast on Lan Ze.

Not hers... but the scent emanating from Tiamat.

No wonder Lan Ze had been addicted to games lately, no wonder he always exuded such a strong scent when playing games every day.

Everything made sense now.

Lan Ze wasn't playing games at all; he was playing reality!

The intensity of the Beast's scent on Lan Ze was so strong, it was as if the owner of that Beast was declaring their sovereignty.

And in fact... the other party had indeed declared their sovereignty.

Upon seeing Sajyou Manaka, Tiamat immediately grabbed Lan Ze's hand. She took half a step forward, intentionally blocking Lan Ze, as if afraid her cub would be stolen.

Her usually gentle eyes held a look of vigilance.

Not only Sajyou Manaka, but Tiamat also sensed a familiar scent on Sajyou Manaka.

This was the scent that had previously lingered on Lan Ze, which she had painstakingly removed through her efforts (licking).

Tiamat was certain that this girl was the Beast who had been competing with her for scent.

Sajyou Manaka tilted her head slightly, a strand of light golden, soft, fine hair falling onto her cheek. Her gaze was fixed directly on Lan Ze.

"Don't you have anything you want to say to me?" she asked with a slight smile.

Lan Ze pondered for a moment, "Thank you?"

"You're welcome... Not!" Sajyou Manaka silently covered her forehead, raised her eyes, and a cute curve formed on her lips, "Can you explain why you are here?"

If Sajyou Manaka hadn't arrived in time, the best outcome would likely have been Tiamat breaking free of her Spirit Core's restraints, beating the already weakened Goetia soundly, and then going berserk due to her inability to control her own consciousness.

And then... Lan Ze and everyone else's previous efforts would have been in vain.

"This is a bit complicated to explain... Also, I'm the one who wants to ask you," Lan Ze looked at Sajyou Manaka, somewhat bewildered.

"Why can you use magic?"

"Didn't I tell you repeatedly that I could use magic?" Sajyou Manaka replied innocently, a pleased smile appearing on her face as she looked at Lan Ze's dumbfounded expression.

Then, upon seeing Tiamat's body pressed tightly against Lan Ze, with those two large, soft mounds trapping his arms, her smile quickly became a bit stiff, and she secretly clicked her tongue.

Breasts that make your shoulders ache easily, are inconvenient for running, and uncomfortable for sleeping... they're truly detestable.

"How did you get here...?" Lan Ze asked again, his brow furrowed.

He was truly bewildered. Although he already knew this wasn't a game, it was still astonishing to see a living person suddenly appear before him, full of life and vigor.

"This, I'll explain it."

At that moment, a panting voice came from not far away. A white-haired mage, leaning on his staff, jogged over, looking quite exhausted.

He had just barely escaped the Tide of Chaos, then was forced into a fierce battle with the Lahmu. After resting for a while, he had finally managed to arrive.

But judging by the looks of it, the great battle had already ended.

One Beast was dealt with, and then...

Two more Beasts had appeared.

Fortunately, Merlin wasn't some world-saving hero, or his mental state would have collapsed by now.

Three Beasts that obstructed Humanity's Order had appeared in a single day, and two of them had driven the other away... If this story got out, no one would believe it.

What was even more terrifying was that one of the Primordial Mothers had managed to control her Spirit Core, while the other...

Even Merlin couldn't find her weakness.

If there was a weakness, it was probably that her chest was too small.

"The Court Mage of Britain?" Sajyou Manaka sized up Merlin, "Why are you here?"

"There's no helping it. I'm a quasi-Grand Caster, and protecting Humanity's Order is my sworn duty!"

Merlin said, looking at Lan Ze, and smiled, "Actually, it's not strange that Miss Sajyou could come over. After the Incineration of Humanity, I, too, could travel from Avalon to Uruk. As for you..."

Merlin paused, "Why do you know the Princess of the Root?"

He then sighed helplessly, "If I had known, you could have just asked her to come help. What am I working myself to death for?"

Sajyou Manaka let out a soft hum, "I'm not omnipotent, and besides..."

Why help a love rival... she added in her heart, looking at Tiamat's figure.

"Cough..."

At this moment, a faint cough was heard from not far away. The Old Man of the Mountain slowly approached the group.

Lan Ze looked at the man with his armor in tatters, his mouth slightly agape, about to say something.

However, as if knowing what Lan Ze wanted to say, the man shook his head, "I am merely a specter stirring in the darkness. You need not thank me. A great battle still lies ahead, and it will be entrusted to you then."

After speaking, the Old Man of the Mountain leaned on his greatsword, his dark figure seeming to vanish with the wind.

This was the Crowned Assassin. No one noticed how he appeared, and when he was slacking off... no one noticed how he left either.

Lan Ze watched this scene, and could only silently remember this kindness in his heart.

Afterward, his attention was slowly drawn to the softness pressed against his side by Tiamat. He instinctively glanced over, and it seemed his vision could only capture the snow-white and enormous heart.

It really is huge... Lan Ze thought instinctively.

Just then, a box suddenly popped up before his eyes.

[Send Tiamat back to the room to rest. Tomorrow, after her Spirit Core is completely sealed and stabilized, assist her in exiting the game.]

This time, there aren't even any options... Lan Ze grumbled inwardly. He turned to look at Tiamat and asked, "Mother, shall I take you back to rest first?"

"Aaaa." Tiamat nodded gently, affectionately hugging his arm, seemingly unwilling to let go.

This scene almost made the smile on Sajyou Manaka's face completely falter. No matter how elegant the Princess of the Root was, seeing a scene not unlike being NTR'd right in front of her made it difficult to maintain her composure.

Merlin looked around, sensing a crisis. He smiled and pulled Ishtar and the others, whispering, "Let's go first. It's fine here now."

Merlin and the others quietly left, and only then did Lan Ze realize the seriousness of the situation.

In fact, he had never really considered Sajyou Manaka as a lover before. After all, she still looked like just a little girl. Because of this, he could joke with Sajyou Manaka so easily.

But now, even a fool could see that Sajyou Manaka's feelings for him were serious...

What should I do... I don't like lolis.

As Sajyou Manaka slowly walked closer, and feeling the grip on his arm from Tiamat tighten, Lan Ze felt for the first time what invisible pressure was.

"You two, take it easy."

Just then, Gilgamesh suddenly spoke.

His chest still bore wounds, and his red eyes now looked coldly at Sajyou Manaka and Tiamat.

Lan Ze's heart leaped with joy, and he looked up at Gilgamesh.

The two Beasts also looked at Gilgamesh.

"Aaa?" Tiamat tilted her head and looked at Gilgamesh in confusion.

"Do you need something, King of Uruk?" Sajyou Manaka asked in return.

"Hmph," Gilgamesh snorted, glancing at Tiamat, then lingering on Sajyou Manaka's smiling face for a moment. Finally, he rubbed his temples and said helplessly:

"What I mean is, stop flirting here. Deal with Lan Ze however you want when you get back. I won't get involved in your domestic affairs."

One was practically his "Mother," the other was the Princess of the Root, and they had just driven off Goetia... Gilgamesh wasn't so idle as to interfere in the affairs of these two.

The troublesome matters should be left for Lan Ze to resolve himself.

As for him...

He was responsible for watching the show... and for his own amusement.

Ishtar sat on the table with her arms crossed and legs crossed, staring blankly at Uruk, which was being rebuilt after the great battle outside.

Before, no one would have thought that a Goetia would suddenly launch a surprise attack, even causing Tiamat to go berserk.

Before, no one would have thought that they would actually stabilize the situation, and even drive away that First Beast in the end.

And most importantly... before, no one would have thought that two Beasts would be in the same room right now... and that there was still a human in that room.

It was a Divine Messenger that Ishtar had snatched from Ereshkigal, but it was originally intended for Sajyou Manaka, only for Tiamat to intercept it halfway. It was also the quasi-lover she had planned to enjoy for herself.

Ishtar's feelings were very complicated.
