Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 22

"What did you say?"

Rin Tohsaka seemed to hear Pendragon's soft murmur and turned to look at her with some surprise.

"Oh, nothing."

Pendragon's eyes flickered with a hint of guilt, then he reached out and grabbed Rin's delicate hand, giving it a light, flirtatious squeeze.

It's soft and fleshy, and the skin is very smooth and silky.

"I said I'm not washing this hand tonight."

"what!"

The image of the lecherous old man instantly flashed into her mind. Rin Tohsaka suddenly realized that her hand was still being held, and quickly tried to break free.

unexpected.

Miss Rin wasn't as disgusted as she appeared; she was just a little unwilling.

Her cheeks were burning. Assassin's behavior just now definitely counted as harassment of a girl! ...What if that face was replaced by a sleazy old man?

Okay, being good-looking does give you privileges.

I'm not reconciled. I don't know why, but I just feel unwilling to accept it.

That guy Assassin, he probably said that just to make me feel resentful.

"...That's possible. That guy must be right."

That's right, that's it!

So the burning sensation on my face and the racing heart were all part of that guy's wicked scheme!

Be careful, Rin.

Because from now on, we'll have to work with these dishonest people!

Pendragon noticed Rin Tohsaka's mutterings and immediately became a little flustered.

That seems a bit excessive...

I just wanted to secure a long-term meal ticket, but it seems I've gone a bit too far and... I've gotten involved?

He definitely underestimated the destructive power of his face when he was flirting; even Tokiomi's daughter was finding it hard to handle.

This wasn't Pendragon being narcissistic, but rather because Rin's heartbeat was far too obvious to her five senses.

She was hitting over 120 beats per minute, like she was drunk, and her body was emitting a scent that Pendragon liked.

Each of them harbored their own unique feelings, and they did not speak to each other again during the rest of the walk.

"This cafe is famous for its desserts in Singapore, but the prices are correspondingly high..."

"Dessert!!!"

Before Rin Tohsaka could finish speaking, she turned around and saw Pendragon very close to her, his eyes sparkling like stars as he looked at the door of the coffee shop, his prominent ahoge (cowlick) wagging like a dog's tail, leaving afterimages.

Surprisingly, it didn't clash with his expressionless face; on the contrary, it suited him perfectly.

As expected, having a pretty face is all that matters, right?

For a moment, I didn't feel like this guy was a sleazy old man anymore.

Rin Tohsaka felt a headache coming on. She pushed open the door of the shop and sat down with Pendragon in a spot away from the sun.

"Give me all the commands you wish, Master!"

Pendragon's severely deformed form and its voice filled with boundless longing made Rin Tohsaka even more regretful about her impulsiveness the night before.

That's a precious Command Seal!

The effect is not even as good as a cake that costs 588 yuan. Unacceptable!

Although Pendragon's greed had reached the point where he wanted to take the whole store with him, Rin Tohsaka, who held absolute control, firmly controlled her spending, allowing her to order only one of each dessert and leave after finishing it.

Sigh, if only the guy who summoned me was a domineering CEO type, someone who could buy shares in dessert shops all over the world and take over everything with an air of superiority.

P.S.: Those of you still looking at your phones should be careful of dry eye syndrome. Itchy eyes mean you desperately need rest, just like I am right now.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Best View

Chapter 39

Beneath the high-rise buildings, crisscrossing alleyways, an old harbor... on this day, the figures of Pendragon and his companion could be seen everywhere in the new capital.

Rin Tohsaka led Pendragon to explore almost every possible battleground.

A small dog kept barking at Pendragon in the alleyway dotted with greenery. If Rin Tohsaka hadn't dragged her away, they might have been able to enjoy a delicious hot pot dinner tonight.

The wind was strong at the beach, and the strong, fishy smell of the sea breeze made Pendragon shake her ahoge in disgust. She didn't like the smell, and in the summer, the hot and humid sea breeze might be as repulsive as blood.

A cool breeze gently ruffled the girl's hair and skirt as she walked along the seaside embankment, creating a scene as beautiful as an oil painting.

As night falls and the stars begin to twinkle, the lights in Xinduli are lit up, shining even brighter than the stars in the night sky.

After walking all day, it was past 7 p.m.

After finishing her dinner at a mid-range restaurant with a French feast, Rin Tohsaka clutched her wallet with a pained expression.

It's okay, it's okay, just consider it buying gems. At worst, I'll find a job after this war is over...

Feeling incredibly comforted inside, and having just suffered a significant loss, Miss Rin secretly vowed that she would never bring this guy shopping again.

Not only is my wallet empty, but my credit card is almost maxed out!

At this time, the places we're going to visit later should offer the best views.

Rin Tohsaka forced herself to focus on the important matter at hand, her smile revealing her poverty.

-

The wind was blowing.

Rin Tohsaka picked the lock and led Pendragon to the tallest building in the new capital.

The view of the street from this rooftop is fitting for the end of today.

"How is it? The view from here is great, isn't it, Assassin?"

"I feel a little sorry for your future boyfriend. He managed to drag me around all day!"

"Huh? What did you say, Assassin? I already said it's reconnaissance, not shopping."

The girl, with one hand on her hip, calmly explained herself.

"But the view from here is really great."

Pendragon, as if tired from walking, found a ventilation duct next to Rin Tohsaka and sat down, responding to the girl's words.

Rin Tohsaka glanced at Pendragon and noticed that the Servant seemed to enjoy the scenery, then fell silent.

"Are they observing the city's structure?"

He was thinking that he couldn't hinder the Servants' prior reconnaissance of the battlefield.

Rin Tohsaka left Pendragon's side and went to the other end of the building.

A gentle breeze soon arrived at the top, and the red coat swayed playfully with the ends of his hair. Pendragon quickly turned his face away.

The beautiful girl and the wind that reflects her beauty seem to surround the lovely girl, as if the stars in the night sky are setting off her.

"so beautiful."

"What are you talking about? It is beautiful, of course, but for now, let's focus on remembering the layout of this city."

Lady Rin put her hands behind her back and leaned forward toward Pendragon as she spoke.

Although it was meant to urge the director, Rin Tohsaka's tone was calm and composed.

This is the true demeanor of a young lady of high birth—elegant and serene.

"You really want to win this war, Rin."

Pendragon sensed her obsession and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Of course! For the Tohsaka family, collecting all seven Dragon Balls is a long-cherished wish that has been desired for generations."

"So, do you have any wishes you want to fulfill?"

Pendragon's eyes flickered as he looked at the poised young woman.

"A wish you want to fulfill? No, I don't have one."

Completely unaware of what she was going through, the girl put one hand on her hip and answered in a nonchalant and matter-of-fact tone.

"Hmm? This is an opportunity to have any wish granted, even if you want to control the world, it'll be a piece of cake."

Pendragon raised his left hand high, making a fist gesture, as if he held the whole world in his hand, and the twinkling starlight began to tremble.

"Because controlling the world is also troublesome."

The girl put her hands on her hips and then made a shrugging gesture.

"So there's no need to make such pointless wishes."

As he spoke, he put his hands back into his coat pockets.

"Hmm? So what exactly is your motivation for fighting? Is it merely the family's long-cherished wish?"

"Because there's a battle going on there."

The girl shifted her gaze from the night view of Xindu and spoke in a matter-of-fact, yet highly confident voice.

"Then you are..."

Pendragon raised her beautiful eyebrows in a rare gesture, and Rin Tohsaka, standing in front of her, smiled confidently.

"Yes, I fight only for victory."

"Humph……"

The smile Pendragon gave at that moment startled Lady Rin, who almost thought he was hungry again.

This person with a perpetually expressionless face can actually smile!

And she looks so beautiful when she smiles?!

Rin Tohsaka was puzzled by the adjectives that came to mind, but her attention quickly shifted elsewhere.

Yes, it must be because of the strong contrast.

Scarcity increases value, and the added risk of facial paralysis cannot be ignored.

"As expected of you, as Rin's servant, I have no other desires."

Pendragon stood up and, for the first time, acknowledged Rin Tohsaka's identity with a serious and earnest attitude.

"wait,……"

Rin Tohsaka was so shocked that she took half a step back and couldn't say a word.

Why are you suddenly making me feel so embarrassed?

The girl, blushing, turned away shyly, but her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Pendragon.

then.

What's there to be ashamed of? Shouldn't you be happy?

The girl turned around again, put her hands on her hips, and revealed an incredibly cheerful smile on her flushed face.

This smile shouldn't be on a young lady; it makes her seem unsteady and a bit immature.

But it's so cute!

"Let's go back."

Pendragon suddenly felt that the scenery around him completely outshone the city's night view.

"Huh? So fast? The city's structure has already been figured out?"

The girl exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, that's enough."

Pendragon snapped his fingers, and his body left the rooftop, followed by Rin Tohsaka.
