Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 92

"..."

This scene doesn't look like a visit; it looks more like a place where people gather to take drugs, much like the old opium dens.

Well, there's one exception: the female judge from earlier had something strange stuffed into her mouth.

However, now that it's lunchtime, only a few familiar faces are still paying attention to her. After trying the fried rice, the other diners start ordering from the waiters.

Although every table was packed and business was booming, the waiters working there were still able to handle things in an orderly manner. In addition, the father and son had already moved on from the debate about whose culinary disaster was worse, and occasionally they would take on the role of waiters to relax their wrists. Dealing with such a scene was just a piece of cake for them.

Pendragon and his group waited a while before they could order.

"I'd like a serving of Five Eyes Fried Rice."

Miss Rin glanced at the menu and chose a Chinese dish.

"I'd like the pork and tofu set meal, thank you."

Lily closed the menu and handed it back to the waiter, whose face was slightly flushed but whose heart was pounding wildly. He was clearly also amazed by the good looks of the table.

As for Pendragon, she never even glanced at the menu.

You only make choices when you're broke! And she…

"take them all!"

"……ah???"

The young man looked bewildered, his voice sounding somewhat lost.

"Excuse me, I think I misunderstood. What you just said was..."

"That's right, I said I want one of everything they have in the store. Don't worry, as long as you remove the plates in time, there will definitely be room for them."

As Pendragon finished speaking, the ahoge (cowlick) on his head twitched playfully.

"..."

Even with Pendragon's explanation, the waiter who helped take the order looked troubled. Was it a problem that the table couldn't fit all the food? If it weren't for their good looks, the waiter would have suspected that these people were hired by the developers to cause trouble.

"Let's go one by one."

Lady Rin's emotional intelligence, or rather, her thinking in the mortal world, is more normal than Pendragon's; she defuses the situation with a polite tone.

"How about we loop through the list, serving her one set meal after she finishes it, until she can't eat anymore?"

Rin revealed a top-notch smile, fully displaying the elegant side of a young lady, which made the young man nod in agreement.

In the kitchen, the two chefs, already in business mode, worked quickly, having gotten used to the high volume of customers, and served the food very fast.

Why don't you eat first?

Rin's fried rice was the first to be cooked. She noticed Pendragon's gaze, and since she wasn't hungry anyway, she pushed the plate toward her.

"No, it won't make a difference if it's just a little while longer."

Pendragon's ahoge (cowlick) twitched violently, drooping downwards as if possessed by the spirit of a starving ghost, eagerly moving closer, even just to smell it.

The ahoge was very obedient, but Pendragon's body and mouth were saying no. Rin stared at her suspiciously for a while, then took the fried rice back.

It was fried rice again, and it looked and smelled delicious. Although Rin wasn't hungry and had even eaten not long ago, this plate of fried rice still made her very hungry. She ate spoonful after spoonful without stopping, and only realized it when she finished...

They actually finished the whole plate in one go!

The fried rice here is like it's poisonous—no, it's magical! It makes your hands move uncontrollably…

Looking around, I saw that the other pair of twins had already started eating.

"It's delicious."

Rin wiped the oil stains from her lips with a napkin, her gaze unconsciously drifting to the back of Lily. The absence of that familiar figure made her feel a little regretful.

After eating, I wanted to drink tea, but the person who was supposed to make the black tea didn't come over.

With an elegant and reserved expression, even though it was an ordinary restaurant, Miss Rin felt like she was attending a noble banquet.

P.S.: Honkai Impact 3rd has a new event again, you know what that means...

Chapter 155

Then, when no one could see her, she secretly reached out and touched and pinched her slender waist, feeling that there was excess fat around it!

After Lily finishes eating, it's Pendragon's turn to perform. A normal serving of food is enough to fill one person, but her limit is terrifying. If she continues eating like this, she'll exhaust the owner who's cooking.

So, Miss Rin set up a playlist for her, so she could try all the food.

The guests who were about to leave after finishing their meal stopped in their tracks when they saw the pile of plates on the table. They began to watch as the incredibly handsome young man quickly and methodically ate each set meal, eliciting even greater exclamations of amazement.

Once Pendragon had finished eating the entire menu, the restaurant erupted in cheers no less enthusiastic than those following the previous cooking competition results. This signified recognition that Pendragon had conquered the crowd with her appetite.

Fortunately, the owner here is no ordinary person. He has cooked so many meals in a row and flipped the wok countless times, but he is not exhausted. His face is pale and his smile is tinged with fatigue.

This is what Pendragon looks like after grinding the gacha pool to the max.

Because it wasn't a high-end restaurant, even though Lily completed the entire menu in the Pendragon Challenge, the bill still didn't exceed 100,000.

"How are you feeling, Saber?"

Rin watched Pendragon eating with a smile the whole time; her face was so captivating that it was impossible to resist.

"The taste is all pretty good."

Pendragon gave a sincere evaluation and nodded to the boss who had made these delicious dishes, then turned to Rin's wife and said in a low voice, "But it's still not as good as what you make."

Pan's emotional intelligence is quite good. The reason she can still live so comfortably with two women on either side is because she speaks well and is good-looking.

"I'm glad you said that, but the boss's fried rice is definitely better than mine, you have to admit that."

Rin's eyes curved into beautiful crescent moons, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.

"No, I think what you make is especially delicious."

That's the advantage of having a poker face; when speaking, you only need to pay attention to your tone of voice, and you'll appear very serious and earnest, making it impossible to tell if you're lying or...

"I would have believed you if it weren't for your ahoge (cowlick)."

Rin is a bit taller than Pendragon, so it's not difficult for him to reach the top of her head. Right now, she's teasing that spirited ahoge (cowlick) with her finger.

Those who see this for the first time are a little dumbfounded. How can a clump of hair move so freely? No, it's strange enough that hair can move on its own!

"Don't make trouble!"

Pendragon's ahoge (cowlick) snapped with a "snap," and Rin, in a very unladylike manner, bared her teeth as her finger was flicked away, leaving a bright red mark.

"We should probably look for a place to stay now."

Lily carefully kept the change, confirming that the historical background of this world was so similar to her own that even their monetary systems were completely identical.

So, how do they prove their identity when checking into a hotel? Their student IDs or driver's licenses are probably not valid here.

"You should ask her about that."

Miss Rin shook her slightly sore finger and then pointed at Pendragon.

This guy was the one who brought them here, so he's practically a host. It's only natural that she should be in charge of organizing everything.

If all else fails, there's a final safety net. Rin has already confirmed that the humans in this world are no different from ordinary people in her original world, making them quite easy to hypnotize.

"emmmmm..."

It was quite late after we finished eating, and some of the nearby shops were already closed, much like the Fukayama-cho in Fuyuki.

They really should find a place to rest, even though they haven't adjusted to the time difference yet.

"Don't rush, I'll take you to a nice place later."

Having grown accustomed to staying in Lily's room, Pendragon no longer wanted to stay in hotels that had been used by countless people, so she took out her gloves.

We have enough magic now to pull that marked spaceship from outside the world.

The food she had just eaten was not only delicious, but it was also converted into magic with exceptionally high efficiency after being digested in her stomach.

"All right."

Pendragon snapped his fingers, revealing a passage in front of them, and the cat on his shoulder jumped in and disappeared.

"This...is letting us go back?"

Rin stared blankly at the passageway before her.

"No, it's just a simple spatial passage."

Pendragon went in first and reached out his arm to wave to the remaining two girls.

Then, Miss Rin put the suitcase she was pulling into her hand and followed her inside with some curiosity.

Scene changes.

The Japanese-style garden that came into view almost made Rin think she had returned to Fuyuki, but the atmosphere of the two places was completely different. Looking up, she could see a bright, star-studded band of light that meandered like a river to the end of the night sky.

"Wow, it's huge! Is this... the moon?"

Lily's voice came from behind, and the spatial passage disappeared.

The first thing she noticed was the large, bathtub-like disc overhead, reflecting a pale yellow light, with clearly visible crater veins that closely resembled descriptions of the lunar surface.

But its size makes it seem like it's not on Earth at all.

"Yes. That's the moon."

Pendragon answered the question, then pointed them in the direction of the room, using his telekinesis to carry the three suitcases there.

"Where am I? Why does the moon look so big?"

Rin and Lily had the same question.

"This is the interior of my spaceship."

After walking a few steps along the courtyard corridor, Pendragon pushed open the sliding door, revealing a living room that looked very similar to Lily's house, with a bedroom on the other side.

"spaceship???"

Rin and Lily were completely dumbfounded. What kind of operation was this? Was it really this sci-fi? As Servants from the mystical side, this wasn't just a matter of mismatched art styles, was it?

"Yes, we are currently positioned above Earth, so some celestial bodies will appear particularly large."

As for sunlight, it is filtered out. At this altitude, sunlight is not just blinding, but can cause great harm to ordinary life.

"Is this a scam? Is it real?"

Rin found it no different from an ordinary room, even a somewhat simple living room, making it hard to connect with those spaces filled with mechanical steel, weightless space stations, and manned spaceships.

"of course it's true."

P.S.: The sun at 5 AM isn't just early rising, it's staying up all night...

Chapter 156 Naval Forces

Chapter 156

Pendragon walked to the other side and pushed open the wall of the living room.

It's like a portal opening here, behind which lies a cold steel corridor, with metal pipes and lines attached to the walls on both sides, forming a uniquely beautiful circuit that is so precise it's astonishing.

"There's nothing there, it's really boring."

Seeing that Rin and Lily were curiously heading over there, as if they wanted to go inside and take a look at the spaceship's structure, Pendragon reminded them.

"What did you say?"

Rin turned around and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"I sent the original owner of this spaceship to become a farmer and grow purple sweet potatoes. I modified it. There are no other areas over there except for the power room. It's all empty halls and corridors like this. And the spaceship is very big, so don't get lost."

Seeing that Rin couldn't help but be curious, and Lily was also eager to try, Pendragon was too lazy to say much. After explaining the situation, he told them to do as they pleased. He was a little tired from bringing the spaceship over, so he lay down on the tatami mat in the living room to rest.

"A fried rice competition, and peanut butter squid—it just so happens to coincide with the start of the anime series..."

Pendragon's ahoge (cowlick) twitched. "Should I send Rin to Totsuki Academy to study too? Maybe there'll be a pleasant surprise!"

Hmm... there's also the issue of identity, and finances are another problem. The gold, silver, valuables, and cash that Lily and the others brought probably aren't enough to pay for Far Moon's tuition.

Pendragon twirled a tuft of silver-gray hair between his fingers, remembering the pressing problem that needed to be solved.
