Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 17

The translator in his ear suddenly translated the cat's meows, causing Pendragon to stare at it intently.

Is this broken?

Seeing the kitten that had involuntarily lay down and rolled over, its belly exposed, after being scratched twice on its chin, Pendragon began to question the quality of the translator.

After stroking the cat's belly a few more times, the fluffy cat-like creature emitted a purring sound like a blower, almost making Pendragon think it couldn't breathe.

It doesn't seem threatening, but it doesn't look appetizing either...

Pendragon took out some sweets and placed them in front of the cat, gesturing with his eyes that it could eat them.

However, the haughty, furry creature paid it no heed and showed no interest whatsoever in even glancing at the snacks and desserts.

Pendragon nodded; it seemed they could leave it behind for the time being and not throw it out of the spaceship.

If I discover that this strange cat is trying to steal my food, don't blame me, Pendragon, for being ruthless.

Humans and cats lived in harmony, and Pendragon pretended it didn't exist and continued reading his book.

Until one day, before he ran out of sweets and was about to finish reading a comic book, Pendragon encountered a strange phenomenon.

The optical brain's search system failed to find new cosmic coordinates, but Pendragon suddenly experienced a strange sensation, similar to the mutual perception she shared with Alpha, only the object of her perception had changed.

If Pendragon is willing to sign a contract with her, she can be summoned from this endless spacetime to that world!

After glancing at the nearly empty refrigerator, Pendragon agreed without hesitation and picked up the suspicious cat to prevent it from stealing food!

Pendragon's body was immediately drawn away by a powerful force, separating him from the chaotic currents of spacetime, and heading towards the New World!

② Fuyuki City remains peaceful.

Chapter Thirty-One: Kryptonite Delivery

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

With a slight dizziness, Pendragon's breathing air suddenly became icy cold, leaving a noticeable white mist in the air.

The feeling of weightlessness as she fell made her realize her predicament. Did she enjoy playing high school-style falling games from the very beginning?

Pendragon stepped directly into the roof, creating a large hole, and fell into the room that looked like a reception hall.

The European-style decoration and furniture reflect the homeowner's noble and elegant taste, but because someone was lazy and used the simplest way of laying the house, it turned into a ruin that is worse than a garbage dump.

"Huh? Where's my client?"

Pendragon looked around but didn't see the person she was supposed to sign a contract with. Logically, the client should be nearby when she was summoned.

Ten seconds ago—

No flaws!

The effect is so perfect, it's like pulling up a whale with a fishing rod!

"Perfect! I drew the strongest card without a doubt!"

In the basement beneath Pendragon, a red-clad girl with pigtails smiled wearily as she searched the workshop with excited eyes.

Just wait a moment, and your five senses, stripped away by the summoning ritual, will return, and you'll be greeted by your summoned partner—

"?????"

No???

Why is there nothing there?

Despite its overwhelming momentum, having used up almost all of its gem reserves and magic power to make so many fifth elements fly around, not even a single solidified fragment remained!

The girl's bewildered expression was shattered by the explosion coming from the direction of the living room, and she couldn't help but clench her teeth.

"What?!"

The girl's mind went blank as she ran down the basement stairs to the living room, only to encounter a broken door.

The door handle won't turn; I can't open it whether I push or pull.

"Ugh! Really!"

Accompanied by the girl's angry voice, the broken door was kicked open, kicking up a cloud of dust as it fell, adding a special effect to her entrance.

The moment she entered the living room, the girl understood everything.

The living room was a mess, as if something had fallen from the ceiling and smashed a large hole. There were rubble scattered throughout the room, and a boy holding a cat sat calmly on the only remaining sofa.

"..."

That man must be the murderer!

The girl's anger surged instantly, but compared to the terrible hole in the roof, there was something more important.

The wall clock, spared from destruction, showed the correct time, and then the girl suddenly remembered that the clock at home seemed to be an hour fast today!

That means it's 1 a.m. right now!

There's still an hour before I'm in the best condition to hold my ceremony...

"I messed up again!"

The girl, on the verge of tears, crouched down, holding her head in her hands, and muttered to herself in a sorrowful tone as if she wanted to die.

"There's nothing I can do now that I've already messed it up! But what kind of problem has Father left me with...?"

The girl was angry at her own stupidity, but still glared at the boy who was leisurely playing with the cat.

"By the way, who are you?"

With a sigh, the girl asked Pendragon in an unfriendly tone, her face full of disdain.

So, the person who called me over to sign the contract was Rin Tohsaka?

The Fifth Holy Grail War? We'll finally get to see the original, authentic blue Saber! I wonder if the sweets here are any good...

While thinking about these things, Pendragon stroked the cat's soft, satin-like fur and muttered to himself.

"Their attitude was terrible."

As he spoke, he shook his head dramatically, his tone filled with a deep sense of disappointment and frustration.

The girl in red made a judgment almost instantly: the guy in the suit must have a twisted personality.

"------"

But is this what a Servant is?

Rin Tohsaka had initially thought that these familiars should be invisible, but they were just like humans.

No, that idea is wrong.

Just by looking at him, you can tell that he possesses magic power far exceeding the standard.

Don't be fooled by appearances.

That was something beyond human comprehension, a spirit that reached the realm of elves in a human body.

Speaking of appearance, Rin Tohsaka felt that the thing she had summoned looked very familiar, like she had seen it before... as if she had just seen it not long ago?

"..."

Well, let's not worry about these details for now; we can't keep going on like this.

That one belongs to Rin Tohsaka!

So now we must brainwash him properly.

"—Just to confirm, you are indeed my client, right?"

The girl walked over with her long, slender legs in black stockings, arms crossed, looking down at Pendragon with an arrogant air.

"I was just about to ask you if you're my client. You weren't even there when I was summoned."

Driven by some kind of wicked sense of humor, Pendragon looked at the unbelievably beautiful Rin Tohsaka and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"You're not a fledgling bird that's just left the nest, so don't tell me you only decide on your owner the moment you open your eyes."

The girl maintained her superior aura with a taut, cute face, while observing Pendragon's expression.

Unfortunately, the other person's face seemed to be frozen by magic, and it hadn't changed at all, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"Well, never mind, it's okay."

With a sigh of resignation, the girl attempted to take control of the situation.

"There's only one thing I want to ask: you're not someone else's, but my servant. After all, it's better to clarify the master-servant relationship from the beginning."

"Yes, I agree with establishing a master-servant relationship. But do you have any means to prove that you are my client?"

Still sitting on the sofa, or even lounging lazily against the backrest, the Servant looked at Rin Tohsaka with meaningful dark gold eyes.

Destroying someone else's home and having such a kingly attitude is infuriating enough, but then to ask a question you already know the answer to, like whether you're qualified to be the master?!

Rin Tohsaka tried to cool down her boiling head, glaring at the rude guy.

Perhaps because the summoning was incomplete, he had no intention of hiding his dissatisfaction with me. He must have thought that as long as he used "evidence of the master," he could make me panic... Rin Tohsaka thought to herself.

"Here, this is the proof that I am your master."

Rin Tohsaka showed Pendragon the Command Seals that appeared on the back of her right hand.

"Party A may modify the contract three times. Within three modifications, Party B must comply with Party A's requirements. This is a testament to the power of the law."

Hmph, you don't think I know nothing, do you?

P.S.: A different Fuyuki City lol

Chapter Thirty-Two: You summoned me, so you must become my maid.

"Party A may modify the contract three times. Within three modifications, Party B must comply with Party A's requirements. This is a testament to the power of the law."

Hmph, you don't think I know nothing, do you?

Rin Tohsaka thought to herself with a touch of smugness, "This guy really thinks I'm a complete novice. I've heard bits and pieces about contracts from my father, so of course I know about Command Seals."

"Got it? Any objections now?"

Rin Tohsaka held up her proof of being the master and said defiantly, "How about it?"

"Well, what next."

Pendragon continued to pet the cat casually, and this nonchalant and indifferent attitude of his approving attitude infuriated Rin Tohsaka even more than a direct rejection.

"W-what, and then?"

Perhaps blinded by anger, Rin Tohsaka was even having trouble speaking.

"What I want to see is not this kind of superficial stuff; formalism is unacceptable."

With a smile playing on his lips, Pendragon pushed up his glasses expressionlessly and said, "What I want to know is whether you're qualified to sign a contract with me."

"Ah—um."

The girl was speechless for a moment, but when it comes to proving that she is the client, the first thing that comes to mind is the Command Seal, right?

"What?! Are you saying I'm qualified to be your master?"

Rin Tohsaka glanced sideways and spoke in a tone that was a mixture of disdain and doubt.

"You can't say that, after all, I already signed a contract before I was summoned here and got on your pirate ship, so there's no use denying it."

He continued petting the cat, as if the adorable ball of fur was the main focus; this man clearly spent more time looking at the cat than at himself!

The anger continued to escalate, and no amount of effort could calm it down; Pendragon's actions were simply adding fuel to the fire.

"------"

You could even hear the girl clenching her teeth, her slender body trembling despite her best efforts to control herself.

"That's it..."

She squeezed out a suppressed voice through clenched teeth. As expected of a beautiful girl, even her angry expression, which usually makes her look ugly, was pleasing to the eye, once again emphasizing the truth that good looks are justice.

Her family precepts came to mind, but the girl felt she was about to collapse, as if she had reached her limit.

"So you're acknowledging that I'm your master?"
