Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 86

Pendragon's attitude was somewhat perfunctory, as if he didn't want to talk to her.

It's the weekend today, so there should be a lot of kids around. But I don't know if it's because of some unusual celestial phenomenon caused by summoning a dragon, but the kids were taken home by their parents, so there are fewer kids than last weekend.

"Then I'll come over too. Wait for me there."

Miss Rin asked this tentatively.

"Shouldn't family members spend more time talking when they're together? Why are you going out now?"

Pendragon replied instinctively.

"Everything that needed to be said has been said, and the dead have been brought back to life. There's still a long road ahead."

Rin's voice rang in Pendragon's mind, sounding somewhat anxious.

"Ah."

"Then I'll come over."

"it is good."

Pendragon finally stopped staring blankly at the sky and struck the same pose as Lily, pondering what was wrong with him.

Rin Tohsaka arrived very quickly, though it's also possible that Pendragon was distracted and misperceived time.

"What...what are you doing?"

Following the location in her mind, Miss Rin found her way there and saw two people sitting on a bench in the exact same pose, contemplating life, with Archer towering behind them like a statue.

She even thought the two of them had swapped hair colors and were waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

If it really was that boring, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, I was spacing out and didn't see Tohsaka just now."

Lily snapped out of her daze and gave Rin an apologetic smile.

When Rin Tohsaka heard Lily apologize right away, her heart sank. She was terrified that the next thing Lily would say was, "Your Saber is with me now."

Fortunately not!

"I'm the one who disturbed you; I'm the one who should apologize."

Suddenly, Miss Rin became very polite to Lily, her tone as elegant as that of a young lady from a wealthy family. (Comical)

Pendragon remained silent, watching Rin quietly.

His eyes were red, so he must have been crying. His breathing was a little rapid, and his heart rate was higher than usual. Did he run over here?

In Pendragon's perception, Rin's heartbeat sounded almost exactly like the drumbeats in rock music.

"Why did you all suddenly come here to play?"

Miss Rin originally wanted to ask them directly why they left without saying goodbye, but she was very sensitive right now, so she spoke more from the heart.

There was no way around it; after learning that Saber was an incredibly powerful being, she found it difficult to look at herself, the Servant, the same way.

Who knows how he managed to extract this thing, which is even more powerful than the dragon itself, using the power of the dragon?

It's like playing a mobile game and spending money to get a waifu, but instead of a paper doll waifu, you get a real waifu that turns out to be a paper doll with superpowers. People would be so excited!

But at the same time, he was also terrified that his wife would run off with someone else.

"Give your family enough space. It's inconvenient to have outsiders around at this time."

Pendragon's tone was strange, which Rin noticed and made her uneasy.

"No, no, Father wants to see you."

Rin Tohsaka subconsciously chose this version of events, even though she felt a little guilty.

Shichen was indeed interested in Pendragon, but he was more wary of her, feeling that she was too dangerous.

"..."

Pendragon didn't really want to see him. The scapegoat should just take the blame and be done with it; why bother trying to get attention?

"Come to my place for dinner? I'll prepare some hearty dishes."

Upon hearing about the grand feast, Pendragon's eyes lit up for a moment, but the thought that the meal was prepared for Shichen and that he would have to eat at the same table with him dampened his enthusiasm.

However, there's no need to refuse.

Incidentally, Rin also invited Lily, of course, out of politeness; it would be best if she could decline.

Lily hesitated and struggled for a while, but finally nodded in agreement.

"..."

Rin mentally rubbed her forehead, wondering how it had all turned into a dinner party.

The group went grocery shopping together, and not only did Pendragon notice her strange behavior, but everyone else did as well, though no one asked her directly.

When Pendragon returned to Rin's house, part of the magic circle that had been abandoned for a long time had resumed operation.

It's not just Rin's warnings to prevent theft; now the Tohsaka family's garden is filled with magic circles that repel and even kill.

Knowing that Pendragon had returned, Shichen temporarily put aside his work to come and greet him, saying polite things like "I am sorry for not welcoming you sooner" and "It is an honor to have you here," while inevitably testing him in various ways.

Even though Pendragon remained expressionless throughout, and sometimes even ignored him, Shichen showed no anger whatsoever, behaving with impeccable politeness and elegance.

Sensing that Pendragon wasn't interested in the whole thing, Tokimatsu politely withdrew after expressing his gratitude, leaving Rin to handle the reception, and also apologized for his rudeness.

"..."

Pendragon breathed a sigh of relief, while Rin also felt strange. It just didn't feel right that a Servant was being treated like a guest.

Lily left after dinner, while Pendragon stayed behind, though Rin no longer wanted to share a room with her.

It's not that I'm unwilling, but it's because there are no longer just the two of us at home, so it's not very convenient.

Then, Pendragon discovered the source of his problem.

P.S.: I've been slacking off a lot lately ===

Chapter 145 Advantages Beyond Good Looks

Chapter 145

Then, Pendragon discovered the source of his problem.

It turns out that it was my own possessiveness that was causing the problem.

Rin originally belonged to her alone, and even if she was with Lily, it was within her own understanding. However, Rin's parents influenced her. It was one thing for them to do things differently in their daily lives, but Pendragon found it hard to accept that Rin was sharing her feelings with someone else.

Even her parents...

very dangerous!

Pendragon realized that her current state was dangerous, a terrible sign that she had been affected by Rin.

If this continues, I might become dependent on her, and even unable to live without her!

This cannot go on.

Pendragon said this to himself.

"It's time to leave."

I feel like I can't stay in any universe for long, except for that chaotic place where even the concept of time is thin... Judging from the number of books I've read and the length of my hair.

Are you leaving?

Although she didn't tear up the previously signed contract, Rin seemed to have noticed and deliberately pulled Pendragon into her room.

Was my expression that obvious?

Pendragon recalled his facial paralysis and realized that such a possibility did not exist.

"It's intuition, it's intuition!"

Rin corrected Pendragon's statement, then her expression darkened, and she looked expectantly into those dark golden eyes.

"do not go."

"?"

"Stay."

Seeing that Pendragon's ahoge had changed slightly, Rin changed her words to express her desire to keep him, and mustered up her courage.

"What's the reason?"

Pendragon's gaze remained calm as he looked at the beautiful girl before him. Logically speaking, she had already obtained everything she wanted and no longer needed a Servant.

Especially since she has an enormous appetite, isn't she afraid of going bankrupt?

Or is Rin the type who never lets go of an opportunity once it arises, and wants to latch onto someone powerful?

"Of course, it's because I don't want you to leave. It's Master's order! An order!"

Miss Rin put her hands on her hips, as if she had suddenly returned to the proud demeanor she had when they first met.

"Do not be silly."

However, Pendragon didn't give her any face. This reason was not enough to change her mind. She even directly severed her contract with Rin, which meant that she completely tore up the contract.

Rin's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Saber, who had severed the contract.

Could it be that someone really poached their partner?

No, that's not right. If it were about poaching talent, they wouldn't have waited until now to reveal it.

And Saber isn't in a hurry to leave. What is she waiting for?

Miss Rin felt that all the intelligence and talent she had ever possessed was being used up at this moment. Her brain was working at high speed as she observed Pendragon's ahoge (cowlick) and eyes.

What is she waiting for?

A sudden thought flashed through Rin's mind, considering Saber's usual behavior...

"No way?"

Rin, secretly amazed, saw the shape of the ahoge (cowlick) and confirmed her guess.

However, knowing something and actually doing it are two completely different things.

Moreover, it's not just an embarrassing issue, but also pressure from other sources.

Father wouldn't allow his lover to be of the same sex, would he? If so, wouldn't the Tohsaka family, which can't have children, have its lineage end?!

Is it possible to conjure up a child using magic?

It seems like it actually works! If the dead can come back to life, there's no reason why they can't get pregnant!

Or you could adopt into another family...

Miss Rin's expression changed frequently, sometimes hesitant, sometimes blushing, sometimes resolute, sometimes joyful, and finally she made up her mind and returned to calm.

The exciting process was just like a Sichuan opera performance.

Pendragon waited patiently, looking at the girl's lovely face, feeling quite conflicted.

Even though I know that if I continue like this I will get deeper and deeper into trouble, and it will be somewhat dangerous, but...

"I...I like you! I want to be with you! So, please don't leave, okay?"

"Okay."

My wife is justice!

What is a dependency point?

but……

"Are you serious about liking me?"

You've only known each other for a few days, isn't it a bit frivolous to confess your feelings like this?

"Clam?"

Miss Rin was completely bewildered. She had mustered up the courage to try and persuade him to stay, but her head was burning with confusion, and she was caught off guard by the sudden barrage of questions.

“Seriously…”

The response was very soft; it felt like the heat was about to burst out of her ears. Miss Rin looked down at her slippers.
