Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 71

"What the hell are you doing all of a sudden?!"

"Couldn't they have just changed a line?"

Pendragon's arms were like two iron bars, firmly fixing Rin's body to his own, no matter how much she struggled.

Once she calmed down again, Pendragon released her, and the two of them got up together.

As if nothing had happened, Pendragon and the others crawled back into the kotatsu. This time, however, Rin put her legs on top of her. Pendragon glanced at her but didn't say anything.

Meanwhile, Lady Rin reconnected with the familiar she had placed near Ryudouji Temple, preparing to have it leave.

Anyway, it doesn't matter, Caster isn't the point at all.

and many more!

Rin Tohsaka, who had her eyes closed, suddenly raised an eyebrow. Just as she was controlling her familiar to leave, the bloodstone familiar made an unexpected discovery.

That guy is...

"Lancer!"

According to Rin Tohsaka's perception, after the appearance of this man in the bodysuit, the sealed barrier of Ryudouji Temple opened up, creating a gap that led directly to the mountain gate!

Rin wanted to see more, but the last thing the familiar saw was a long spear that kept approaching.

Why did Lancer, who had been out of the public eye for so long, appear there? And what's wrong with Caster's result?

Rin Tohsaka opened her eyes wearily; in fact, the situation was already quite obvious.

Having learned of a portion of Saber's power, these Servants, who were well aware of their own limitations, knew they were no match for her and began another round of alliance!

The probability of Lancer colluding with Caster is extremely high. Perhaps Berserker is also secretly working with them to form a powerful alliance against him.

Although Rin Tohsaka is not afraid, she still needs to ask Saber to be sure.

-

"Could they have joined forces?"

Pendragon's expression remained unmoved.

"pretty close."

"Oh."

"Oh?"

Rin Tohsaka felt like her hair was about to stand on end.

"Why are you still so calm? You're too composed!"

She was so calm that even Miss Rin was a little scared and couldn't understand her.

"A mere trifle is not the mark of a hero."

Pendragon uttered a phrase in classical Chinese, almost causing the translator in his ear to short-circuit. After all, this thing was a cheap online purchase, and an older version at that.

"Clam?"

Rin Tohsaka had an expression that suggested she was illiterate and could only understand colloquial speech.

"A bunch of trash that could be crushed with a single finger."

Pendragon had no choice but to repeat himself in a language she could understand.

"You're just bragging."

Although she said that, Rin was still relieved.

I believe Saber isn't the kind of Servant who just brags without any self-awareness.

P.S.: This is really not clickbait, lol.

Chapter 121 Imaginative Lovers

Chapter 121

Pendragon didn't even glance at her this time, seemingly engrossed in his novel, even neglecting to peel the orange.

-

Lancer recalled the gun he had just thrown, clicked his tongue in annoyance, and his cold gaze swept along the mountain path before he vanished in the blink of an eye.

-

in the afternoon.

When Lily and Archer returned from grocery shopping, Rin told them about what her familiar had discovered at Ryudouji Temple.

Perhaps because she's a newbie, Lily's eyes still looked a little blank.

It's just joining forces, what's so strange about that? They're doing the same thing now. Does that mean we can't allow others to cooperate?

Miss Rin was speechless at Lily's inexplicable self-confidence.

If someone is aware of their own strength and reacts this way after comparing their abilities, like Rin Tohsaka herself, then it's completely understandable.

But Lily's behavior clearly showed that she was heartless, which made her feel bad for a while.

Then there's Archer, who has the same self-awareness as a support staff member, and with the same nonchalant attitude, he went to the kitchen to cook.

The next few days were peaceful, as if all the Servants in Fuyuki City had disappeared overnight, hiding quietly without causing any trouble, giving the church a chance to clean up the mess.

After confirming that she was feeling better the next day, Rin couldn't wait to drag Pendragon to class.

The school returned to the tranquility of an ordinary middle school. It was said that Souichirou Kuzuki had taken a long leave due to an emergency, and Rider never appeared again. Rin Tohsaka and the others believed that this Servant no longer posed a threat.

Because, after these past few days, the reputation of the kind-hearted Shinji Kiri has begun to soar, a situation that is both surprising and alarming.

The good news is that the boys at school, like Second Master, a playboy, have suddenly repented and decided to stay away from women and become a good person. Wouldn't that give them more opportunities?

What's truly terrifying is the fact that those who know him well are shocked by how quickly and drastically he has changed. It's as if he's become a completely different person, a different soul or personality. Combined with the recent spate of mysterious events, it's hard not to think about whether he's possessed by a ghost or suffering from a sudden mental illness.

Then, Shinji Matou was sent to a sanatorium for examination and treatment, which is a good thing.

In this peaceful atmosphere, the students welcomed the weekend once again.

Although there haven't been any reports of serious incidents recently, the school's ban hasn't been lifted, and after-school club activities are still prohibited.

However, it's possible to apply for activities during the day on weekends, as long as a club teacher is present.

Lily continued to suspend club activities, citing the absence of Mr. Ge Mu.

If all the date invitations Rin received were turned into envelopes, they'd probably burst her desk.

She politely declined all invitations, including those from close friends.

Ayako looked at Rin and Lily with suspicion, her gaze shifting between them and becoming increasingly meaningful.

"Hey! What's with that smirking look? You seem to be thinking about something really rude."

Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but comment on her friend's subtle expression.

"Mitsuzuri's expression is a little strange..."

Lily felt extremely uncomfortable under her gaze, sensing that the other person must have some deep misunderstanding.

"It's all because you guys have been pairing up lately, and I'm getting angry because I'm being left out."

Ayako Misaki feigned indignation, seemingly angry because her good friend had distanced herself from her.

However, her subtle gaze made Lily and Rin very uncomfortable, and she wasn't the type to get angry over such trivial matters.

"So, you two defied societal norms and started dating?"

Although she spoke in a questioning tone, Ayako Mitsuri's tone was quite certain.

How could I not be sure? They're living together now, and he even asks for leave on her behalf. It's so sweet!

"???"

Both Miss Rin and Lily had question mark expressions on their faces, their mouths agape in surprise, like children with mental disabilities.

"However, our agreement is to see who finds a boyfriend first. If you fall in love with Pendragon, it doesn't count as winning the bet, and I won't acknowledge it."

"Hey! The terms of our bet were clearly that we'd see who finds a partner first, not gender, right?"

Rin Tohsaka instinctively started arguing with Ayako Mitsuzuri, blurting out the words as if she hadn't thought them through.

Lily blushed instantly, her adorable appearance leaving Ayako Mitsuri speechless, almost forgetting to breathe.

That's true, a beauty like that would be incredibly attractive even to women.

"Why are you nodding like that?! Don't give me that 'I understand' look on your face, it's so weird!"

Miss Rin almost went crazy, rolling her eyes.

"So you two are really dating?"

Ayako's tone, as if she had just been testing the waters between the two of them, almost infuriated Rin.

This is probably what it means to be unable to explain yourself; I feel like my lungs are about to explode.

"No, no, no!"

Lily repeated the important thing three times, accompanied by her constantly waving hands, which showed the intense inner turmoil she was experiencing.

"We just lived together for some reason."

Lily's face had turned bright red as she tried her best to explain, though the more she tried, the worse it got.

Pendragon was right next to her, but Ayako Mitsuki's senses were disrupted by the Force, so she couldn't see him.

Archer, on the other hand, remained in spirit form, conserving magic as much as possible.

"That's right, there's a reason for that."

Rin is not usually someone who speaks unclearly, but since Ayako Midori is a good friend who knows about her persona, she doesn't need to use her elegant style to fool her.

"Sharing a bed?"

puff!

All explanations and clarifications, along with this exceptionally sharp question, were completely swallowed back down.

No, cannot be refuted.

Rin Tohsaka and Lily froze on the spot, feeling that their hearts were in complete turmoil today, and nothing had even happened.

Why did things turn out this way? I just declined a simple weekend invitation, how did I suddenly find myself with a lover?

"You, you guys... are too fast."

One piece of information was confirmed once again: after Ayako Mizuki's petrified expression shattered, she appeared utterly astonished.

"I can understand. After knowing each other for so long and holding back for so long, it's understandable that they would suddenly release their enthusiasm."

"Farewell."

Rin Tohsaka finally realized that it was impossible to explain this to her, just like you can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.

Mizuki Ayako was so engrossed in her own imagination that she couldn't pull herself out of it. They couldn't possibly tell her the truth, so making a quick getaway was the best course of action.

P.S.: My parents passed away in the early morning, and I can't see them off because I have to work tomorrow...

Chapter 122 Seemingly Leisurely

Chapter 122

Grabbing Lily's hand, they quickly ran away down the corridor. From afar, Rin Tohsaka and the others could still hear Ayako Mitsuri shouting, "I'll keep this a secret!"

The two ran even faster.

Pendragon felt inexplicably pleased by their behavior, but he didn't laugh out loud.

Only that silver-gray ahoge (cowlick) was bent badly and trembling, making it look like it was having a great time.

"call……"

Rin ran all the way down to the first floor, glancing back as if Ayako Mitsuki behind her were some terrifying monster.

Seeing that she didn't chase after her, Miss Rin breathed a sigh of relief. There was no way to explain this; being misunderstood and keeping it bottled up inside was incredibly painful. It was better to avoid her and just have some peace and quiet.

The two parties exchanged a glance, and when they thought of what Ayako Mizuki had just said, their hearts skipped a beat, as if they had been struck by a force, and their faces turned bright red.
