Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 25

"Um--!"

Rin Tohsaka let out a soft moan, her voice shy and delicate.

Pendragon took his own earlobe, which was as white as a pearl, into his mouth and licked it with his tongue.

P.S.: This is a kindergarten vehicle. The driver is new to driving, so please be careful of sudden braking. lol

Chapter Forty-Three: Poisonous Milk Color

Chapter 43

It has no taste.

With that thought in mind, Pendragon began to gnaw at it with his teeth.

"Hey! You actually bit me!"

Miss Rin pushed her shoulder forcefully, but remained unmoved.

I'm hungry!

Having achieved his goal, Pendragon naturally released his mouth, his lips moving away from Rin Tohsaka's now bright red ears.

Tch, no stringy texture, bad review.

"I know, I know! Stop pressuring me like this!!"

Miss Rin spoke loudly as if throwing a tantrum, grabbing a pillow and hitting Pendragon repeatedly. Her face looked like a ripe lobster, quite appetizing.

After rinsing his mouth with water, Pendragon was certain that there were no weird bacteria in his mouth, so he didn't need to brush his teeth. Even rinsing his mouth was just a habit and not necessary.

After finishing breakfast prepared by Rin Tohsaka herself in an ambiguous atmosphere, Pendragon overheard her future plans.

"Go to school?"

"Hmm. Is there a problem, Assassin?"

"No, you go ahead. I'll wait for you to come back and make lunch."

"..."

Although the war for the Dragon Balls is explicitly forbidden to be seen by ordinary people, Rin Tohsaka does not believe that other Servants might launch an attack at the school.

However, one must always be wary of other magicians, as a school is certainly not a good place to guard against surprise attacks.

Therefore, she felt it would be safer to bring her servant along.

Instead of letting this awful guy stay at home, lazing around and petting cats.

"You have to come with me. If I die in an attack by some Servant, there won't be anyone to cook for you."

Rin Tohsaka's voice carried a subtle threat.

Hmm, it seems she has a pretty clear understanding of her role as a chef.

"So why not just skip school? I was hoping for a nice, big lunch."

“No, that’s not true. Listen up, Assassin. I’m not going to change my life just because I’m participating in this ceremony.”

Ultimately, Rin Tohsaka is fighting for victory, just as it is a matter of course for her to maintain her image as an excellent student at school.

The battle for the Dragon Balls might end in a few days, but as a top student, you have a long time ahead of you.

"...I see. Since Rin has made this decision, I have no choice but to obey."

When Rin Tohsaka made it clear that she wouldn't get any food if she didn't go to school with him, Pendragon readily agreed to accompany her.

"Of course. Not just at school, you have to be by my side whenever I go out. Protecting one's master is a servant's duty, please."

Miss Rin said solemnly to Pendragon.

"Don't worry! As long as I can eat my fill, no one will be able to touch a single hair on your head."

Pendragon also solemnly touched his flat stomach as he made the promise.

"..."

It's better than nothing, at least.

Having gained a deep understanding of how unreliable her Servants are, Rin Tohsaka's current requirements are not high at all.

"By the way, could you come into the school with me in spirit form?"

"Huh? Why? Is it because I'm not handsome enough?"

Pendragon looked bewildered, and even somewhat insecure, as he conjured a mirror to look at his own face.

No way, I'm so impressed with my own handsomeness!

"..."

Rin Tohsaka couldn't even manage a forced smile.

"It's because you're so beautiful that your appearance at school would cause a sensation."

Moreover, such a stunningly handsome young man was brought here by Rin Tohsaka, an honor student, so the impact was considerable.

Even if it weren't during wartime, for her own sake, Miss Rin wouldn't want to stand out.

I, Kira Rin, just want to live a peaceful life.

"Hmm? You underestimate me. Who am I? An Assassin, you know! Infiltrating your school undetected is a piece of cake. A minute's work, I don't even need to use a concealment skill..."

"Stop it, stop it!"

Rin Tohsaka clutched her head, feeling a bit of a headache.

Despite Assassin's confident assurances, for some reason, when he mentioned sneaking in, the young lady suddenly had a very bad feeling.

It was as if if she agreed, something terrible was bound to happen.

"Besides, I can't become a spirit."

Pendragon said, then helplessly shrugged.

"Huh? Isn't this a standard ability for Servants? You don't think I'm an idiot, do you?"

Rin Tohsaka's slightly angry expression looked incredibly cute. At this moment, she leaned forward slightly and stared at Pendragon, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.

"No way, how could that be?"

Pendragon's eyes darted toward the ceiling.

"...Then change to a more ordinary look. Aren't you Hundred-Faced Hassan? That's your specialty."

After checking her schedule, Rin Tohsaka realized she was about to be late and decided to put aside her worries for the day and deal with this headache as soon as possible.

"Hmph! I, King Hassan, am a man of my own name and surname, and I would never bother to impersonate someone else."

"Ugh..."

Rin Tohsaka was so stressed she was almost crying, so she didn't notice the details in Pendragon's words.

"In short, if you still want to eat lunch, you'd better behave and not cause any trouble!"

In the end, Rin Tohsaka, who was in a hurry to leave, decided to ignore everything else and unleashed a powerful move that used brute force to overcome skill.

"All right……"

Pendragon, who already didn't want to go out, suddenly felt even more exhausted.

"By the way, Rin, what should we do if we encounter an enemy at school? Should we follow procedures or just fight them directly?"

"What? You're assuming there might be an owner at the school?"

"Yes, there might be several owners inside."

"That's not true. There are only two magician families in this town, the Tohsaka family and another one. That other family has declined and can no longer be the master."

"We can't just make that conclusion so arbitrarily."

Even without spoilers, Pendragon felt that his client was a bit too confident.

"I'm saying, if there are any magician families other than the Tohsaka family, of course we should check them first. Since that guy didn't become the master, and the heir of that family doesn't have the magic to become the master, it's okay to ignore it."

Rin Tohsaka believed that most of the other masters were from out of town, and those people wouldn't be so idle as to come to the school unless they had received accurate information beforehand.

"That's true, but Rin, there are always exceptions."

Have you forgotten your family's history of messing things up?

"Just say there aren't any. Magicians are sensitive to their own kind. After a year in the same school, no matter how well you hide, you'll sense the presence of other magicians. I can say with certainty that there are only two magicians in our school. One is me, and the other is an apprentice magician who doesn't have master magic. Understand? Assassin is worrying for nothing. There's absolutely no way there could be an exception."

Miss Rin was completely unaware of the power of her poisonous prediction, so much so that, in Pendragon's all-seeing eyes, she looked like an old general on a stage, covered in flags.

P.S.: I was really sleepy while writing this today. Goodnight.

Chapter 44 The Person Who Has Read the Script

Chapter 44

Miss Rin was completely unaware of the power of her poisonous prediction, so much so that, in Pendragon's all-seeing eyes, she looked like an old general on a stage, covered in flags.

"Hmm, things often have another side. It's fate that things that should be impossible can happen."

Rin Tohsaka found Pendragon's gaze a little strange. What was so funny? She felt like Assassin was really happy.

"If such a thing really happens, don't blame me for being a jinx; you can only blame yourself for setting such a high bar."

Having read the script, Pendragon had already extricated himself from the situation.

Rin Tohsaka, who couldn't stand Pendragon's smiling eyes, snorted and turned away. She examined her appearance in front of the full-length mirror and straightened the slightly asymmetrical ribbon at her neckline.

...Although Pendragon's attitude made Miss Rin want to get angry, she knew that if she spoke to her again, she would be late.

"That kind of thing is impossible; if it doesn't exist, it simply doesn't exist. If it does happen, then my insight was just too immature."

"Okay, you said it yourself. Let's go then, Rin. The only way to get to school without any rush is by flying."

Pendragon extended his hand to Rin Tohsaka, who grasped it without hesitation, even rubbing and squeezing Pendragon's palm with her own.

"Soft, white, and smooth, without even a piece of hard skin. Assassin, have you really had any weapon training? Or did your summoned body also sublimate after becoming a Servant?"

"..."

Pendragon not only lacked training, but even his Noble Phantasm was purchased online.

"Jiang Lai will have to take responsibility for what you've done."

Pendragon never imagined he would be teased one day, and made the announcement expressionlessly.

Then, before Rin Tohsaka could understand what responsibility she was supposed to bear—

"ah!"

Suddenly, a gasp escaped her lips as Pendragon swept her tall, graceful figure into his arms.

With one hand supporting her back and the other reaching out from under her legs, Pendragon felt as light as cotton or a feather in the girl's arms.

Rin Tohsaka, who was being carried in a standard princess carry, didn't have time to say anything else. The powerful wind pressure that hit her and the feeling of being thrown off balance and her blurred vision made her instinctively hug Pendragon's neck tightly.

"call."

Rin Tohsaka, who had just emerged from Pendragon's embrace, quickly regained her balance. After letting out a long breath, the girl looked at her with a hint of annoyance.

"Assassin!"

Of course, the girl's angry expression just shows a different kind of charm and is not scary at all.

I was originally going to throw a tantrum, but we've already arrived at school.

What was unexpected was that this Servant had no remorse for doing something wrong. After pinching Rin Tohsaka's cute cheek, it simply disappeared!

"???"

Spiritification?

No, no. There wasn't any magical fluctuation at all just now.

Servants are essentially spirits, and whether they materialize or become spirits, they are inevitably accompanied by considerable magical phenomena.

Just as Pendragon used magic to create clothes, even the light in the air was distorted to the naked eye.

Rin Tohsaka quickly shook her head, denying the possibility, and besides, Assassin had just said that he couldn't become a spirit.
