Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 102

Miss Rin glanced at her, said nothing, and simply took it naturally, saying to Lily, "Wait for me a moment."

Afterwards, Rin didn't care that Lily was in the room and started changing clothes in front of the two of them.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Even though this wasn't the first or second time they'd been completely honest with each other, Lily was still taken aback by Rin's bold actions and kept coughing.

"Are you OK?"

Pendragon walked over and patted Lily on the back, giving her a look that said, "What's wrong with you, little brother?"

"No no."

Lily was fine at first, but after being hit by Pendragon, she almost coughed up blood.

He quickly reached out to stop Pendragon from patting his back, no longer paying attention to Miss Kang Lin's figure.

"Okay, let's go."

Rin changed her clothes quickly. She was naturally beautiful and didn't need makeup to go out. Even her hairstyle was a bit troublesome because her long, double ponytails were a bit messy. She just casually combed them with her hands and tied them into ponytails.

Coincidentally, the other two also had ponytails, except that Rin didn't have an ahoge (cowlick).

The welcome party was downstairs; Pendragon remembered it being Shinpachi's big room.

"So—I—say!"

The thick wooden door couldn't block out the resentful voice; even Pendragon and his companions standing outside could sense that the person speaking was on the verge of madness.

"I'm still busy preparing for my exams! You can have the banquet in any room you like, why do you always have to have it in my room?"

Pendragon had already pictured Shinpachi's kind eyes, and Rin stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The argument inside stopped when the knock came. The girl who had called them earlier opened the door and joined the dormitory owner, Shinpachi and Kagura.

"You've arrived! Everyone else is here too."

After welcoming Pendragon and the others in, Kagura sat on the bed with a nonchalant expression and said, "Well, Marui's room is the biggest, after all."

"Don't sit on my bed without permission!"

The bespectacled boy named Marui (pronounced Shinpachi) also has a strong talent for and desire to make sarcastic remarks.

"And it's always very clean every time I come."

Another girl with long, wine-red hair added.

"I just finished tidying up!"

"Just now, the books were scattered all over the floor."

A blond boy with a slicked-back hairstyle crossed his arms and said with satisfaction.

"It's all your fault for making this mess!"

"Let's prepare some more chairs."

Standing opposite the blond guy was a muscular man wearing a white vest.

"I don't allow it!"

Then Shinichi was pinned to the floor and rubbed by two muscular men, while at the same time he shouted, "The book has fallen to the ground again!"

"I'd like you guys to tone it down a bit. All the transfer students for this year are here. Let's all introduce ourselves."

After all, they'll be roommates from now on. These older students had already heard the transfer students' self-introductions at the opening ceremony, so they'll take this opportunity to get to know each other better during the orientation.

The students who were still fooling around stopped upon hearing this and began to introduce themselves one by one. The introductions were so bland that Pendragon didn't even have time to subconsciously give them nicknames that left a deep impression.

"Give."

Pendragon was handed a paper cup by a beautiful woman with long, wine-red hair, who then poured a stream of murky liquid from her large wine bottle, which was turned upside down.

Pendragon brought his nose close to the rim of the glass and took a sniff. A pungent smell of alcohol hit him, and he felt a slight increase in the temperature of his lungs, but... it smelled wonderful.

"It's just juice made from rice."

Pendragon looked hesitant to drink, and the red-haired woman who poured her the drink gave her a playful smile and made a completely insincere excuse.

As he spoke, Pendragon had already tilted his head back and downed the drink in one gulp.

"Wait... this wine is very strong, drinking it like this will..."

Before the young lady could finish speaking, Pendragon had already gulped down the entire drink in one go, silencing her attempts to stop him.

The brewer, Ryoko, stared blankly at Pendragon. Her expression showed no discomfort, only a trace of moisture on her rosy, glistening lips proved that she had just been drinking.

"What did you say?"

"N-nothing, do you want more?"

"want!"

Pendragon's ahoge (cowlick) stood up straight, like a lightning rod, making Ryoko, who was about to pour the wine, stare wide-eyed.

Was I seeing things because I was drinking? That little tuft of hair...it moves?

"Are you giving me the whole bottle?"

"……what?"

Seeing that Miss Ryoko didn't object, Pendragon took the large wine bottle that she was holding in her hands.

"Dun dun dun!"

The best way to enjoy rice wine is to drink it straight from the bottle. As a large amount of wine poured in, Pendragon did not use the reactor inside his body to break down the alcohol into magic.

She's never experienced alcohol poisoning before? I wonder if such a small amount would be enough to get her drunk...

Chapter 173

"Wait a minute! Drinking like this will cause problems!"

Miss Ryoko didn't care about the amount of alcohol, but since drinking like that might cause an accident, she quickly stepped forward to grab the bottle.

"..."

However, how could a girl's strength possibly budge Pendragon's arm, which could go toe-to-toe with Hercules? Ryoko felt as if she were trying to break a steel bar, and a solid one at that, as thick as an arm!

"……belch!"

When Pendragon finally let go and allowed her to take back the bottle, there was only a tiny bit of residue left inside.

Even his burps smelled strongly of alcohol. Pendragon's mind was still clear; he wasn't drunk. His body just felt warm and comfortable, even more so than when he was soaking in a hot spring.

"Are you OK?"

Miss Ryoko looked at her with concern. Pendragon's face flushed, and his dark golden eyes looked somewhat hazy as they were half-open.

Her current demeanor is a stark contrast to her initial aloofness, creating a charmingly unexpected effect.

"fine."

When Pendragon saw Rin looking over, he instinctively smiled at her.

"Ok?"

At first, she was a little confused as to why Miss Rin looked like she had seen a ghost.

In Rin's eyes, it truly was like seeing a ghost. His girlfriend, her face flushed, was grinning foolishly at him—what else could it be but a ghost? And the ahoge (cowlick) on her head was curled into a shape like a mosquito coil, as if she'd been smoked with alcohol…

"You're drunk, Saber."

Miss Rin rushed over, not because she was afraid something would happen to her, but because she felt that staying next to the drunk Pendragon would put the building... no, the entire mountain range in grave danger.

"I've already said I'm Berserker, not Saber! Show some respect for the game's lore!"

For the first time in a long time, Pendragon was struggling with the issue of how to address him.

"Yes, you are right."

Rin pressed her hand on Pendragon's shoulder, sensing that she didn't seem about to go berserk. The others were alright, but she herself...

Pendragon grabbed Rin's waist, and the two fell to the ground, pressed tightly together.

Of course, Pendragon was underneath.

As the two of them rolled around in a heap, the already churning muscular men also ended up tumbling together, instantly filling the room with laughter and chatter that carried far and wide.

"Seriously, is it alright to make such a racket in the middle of the night?"

"It's okay, the dormitory is surrounded by forests, only the animals will be disturbed."

"But, the dorm supervisor, she..."

Yukihira was not yet used to the atmosphere here and seemed a little hesitant.

"Hey! You guys, I have some braised crucian carp with radish here, anyone want to get some?"

Through the old-fashioned pipe communication system, the dormitory supervisor's voice suddenly rang out, immediately separating the two men who were wrestling.

"Great."

"Grandma, I love you."

The two brothers strode off to get the fish soup, and Pendragon also climbed off Rin.

"I think I just heard there was food."

Isn't that why she came here?

"It looks like it was made by the dormitory supervisor."

Rin-sama isn't really concerned about her image right now. Anyway, nobody in this world knows about the Tohsaka family, so she doesn't need to act perfectly.

So when she got up from the floor, she naturally sat cross-legged on the floor, which was obviously more comfortable on the hard wooden board than sitting upright.

As for Lily-chan, let's not even talk about her. Although she has a European appearance, her habits are the same as those of the Japanese. She even regards sitting upright as a form of spiritual practice. She's someone you can't mess with.

"I'm asking... what exactly is the world?"

Having arrived at the Totsuki uniform, Yukihira had heard the term mentioned by others countless times. Taking advantage of the gathering of veterans, he raised this question.

"Hey, you really want to hear it?"

"I'm telling you, you really came to Totsuki without knowing anything."

After Kagura finished speaking, she asked Shinpachi to explain to Kohei.

“Why me?”

Shinpachi stared at Kagura with a menacing look, his tone unfriendly.

"Stop complaining, just consider it taking care of the newcomer."

Ryoko tried to persuade her from the side.

"There's really nothing I can do against you."

Shin-chan pushed his own body, and the originally transparent lenses seemed to be electrified at this moment, turning into two bright flashlights.

"They're the ten outstanding youths on campus."

Pendragon looked at Ryoko and gestured with his eyes, asking if she had any more wine.

After all, her constitution is different from that of ordinary people, and she breaks down alcohol much faster. Now, only a small blush remains on her face.

Ryoko quickly shook her head, her wine-red long hair appearing quite smooth and flowing.

Are you kidding me? At the rate she drinks like that, even if there's still some left, she won't take it out. She's really afraid something bad will happen.

On the other hand, Xinbaji also explained the operating mechanism of "the Ten Heroes are equivalent to dog management, and the commander-in-chief is the group leader of the group".

"I heard that decades ago, when the dormitories were full of people, there were several of the Ten Heroes in Polaris Dormitory!"

Kagura knows the dormitory's glorious history like the back of her hand.

"There was even a year when Polar Star Dormitory took all the seats in the Top Ten."

"..."
