Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

"..."

Pendragon seemed not to understand the meaning behind Touka's words and remained seated.

"...You don't have nowhere to go, do you?"

Touka clearly misunderstood, thinking that Pendragon's silence meant he wanted to stay there and not leave.

"No, I'm struggling with where to go."

Pendragon pushed up his glasses, exuding a scholarly air that made the young girl's heart skip a beat.

Should she return to her spaceship or find a high-end hotel? Both options seemed rather troublesome to Pendragon; the magic she had converted from the food she ate today was far from enough to teleport her back to her spaceship.

I'm getting a bit tired of the black bean soup and don't want to eat any more for now. Hypnotizing the hotel staff to stay at the hotel would be a bit troublesome if I didn't get caught...

"Is the guest encountering any difficulties?"

The store manager asked with a smile, his tone certain.

A foreigner with no luggage and no money seemed to be in serious trouble, but Pendragon's calm reading made the shopkeeper unsure.

"Ok!"

Pendragon nodded vigorously; he had a hard time making a choice.

"I'm currently having trouble finding accommodation. Can you help me?"

Touka immediately turned to look at the store manager, who nodded slightly.

P.S.: Emmmmm, by the way, do you guys want to see BX's daily cute antics and witty remarks? Or his battles?

Chapter Twenty, huh?

Chapter 20

"If you don't mind..."

"do not mind!"

"..."

Before the shopkeeper could finish saying, "You can stay with us temporarily," Pendragon had already answered.

"puff."

Touka burst out laughing, realizing that Pendragon's expressionless nature, combined with his handsome appearance, was surprisingly adorable.

"There's one empty room in Touka-chan's house, if you don't mind..."

"I don't mind at all!"

"Eh...?!!"

Pendragon's decisive voice rang out at the same time as Touka's scream.

"Store manager..."

Dong Xiang's face instantly turned bright red, and she automatically started stammering as she spoke, her coy and reluctant demeanor making her look incredibly cute.

Pendragon's ahoge (cowlick) bobbed rapidly, and his dark golden pupils stared intently at the shy Touka.

"This guest is also a girl, so... it's okay."

are you OK?

Dongxiang's expression froze. Why did the store manager say not to worry about it? She hadn't quite grasped the situation yet...

"A girl...wait, what?!"

Touka's surprised voice could almost be heard across the street, but Pendragon, whose secret had been exposed by the shopkeeper, remained expressionless.

"It's a lie, a lie, right..."

Even after she came to her senses, Touka still couldn't accept it. Her gaze was somewhat vacant as she stared at Pendragon's exceptionally beautiful face, murmuring softly:

"That can't be... how could it be a girl..."

Pendragon nodded silently. The little girl was bearing a burden she shouldn't have to at her age.

Dong Xiang stumbled backward as if she were about to fall, then quickly turned around, opened the door, and ran upstairs.

It shouldn't be unacceptable, right?

Pendragon glanced at the smiling shopkeeper, thinking, "True love is between people of the same sex."

"excuse me."

Pendragon nodded to the shopkeeper, whose expression seemed to have no other face, and followed Touka upstairs.

However, the girl ran very fast, and by the time Pendragon reached her, he had already lost sight of her. At this point, he should have pressed E to activate Eagle Vision...

In fact, Pendragon probed the air with her nose and followed the scent left by Touka; she went straight up.

“Mist, Island, Dong, Fragrance”.

Without much trouble, Dong Xiangjiang's room on the fourth floor was easy to find. There were only a few rooms in a long, narrow corridor. Pendragon had just passed by her silly brother's door.

"I'm coming in."

Pendragon knocked on the door, and without waiting for Touka's response, he flicked his slender, pale index finger upwards, causing the lock in his hand to click and the tightly closed door to open a crack.

The first thing to probe into the room was a silver-gray ahoge (cowlick), which moved like a radar detector, just as its owner was about to step in—

Suddenly, an index finger and thumb pinched the living radar, squeezing it curiously and then tugging at it.

Ouch! That hurts.

Pendragon slapped away the hand grabbing his ahoge (cowlick), gritted his teeth, and almost unleashed a Force lightning bolt.

Speaking of which... something seems off?

"Sorry, I was just curious... so it really was hair."

When Touka saw Pendragon cry out in pain, she quickly bowed and apologized, explaining her actions.

then.

"Wait! Why am I the one apologizing?! You were the one who barged into my room!"

Dong Xiangjiang almost slammed the door.

"The store manager agreed, so this isn't considered reckless."

Pendragon, clutching the base of his ahoge (cowlick), circled around Touka and entered the room.

"Humph."

Dong Xiang slammed the door shut, and then her expression became conflicted.

Which room is mine?

Pendragon kicked off the magically formed shoes in the entryway and saw a small kitchen connected to the living room, with two adjacent doors on the other side.

Judging from the size of the living room, these two rooms must not be very large.

"You... um, are you really a girl?"

"..."

Pendragon stared expressionlessly at Touka-chan's face, which was filled with struggle and resentment, and untied the ponytail behind his head.

Her long, silver-gray hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall. This simple change had a magical effect, like adding the finishing touch to a masterpiece!

The boy transformed into a girl in the blink of an eye, like a painting suddenly unfolding, so beautiful in the still air that it made one forget to breathe.

Dong Xiangjiang's heart skipped a beat again, and a blush inexplicably rose on her cheeks.

Perhaps this is what it means to have your heart flutter. Unexpectedly, when she showed her girlish side, Touka herself became... even more excited?

After all, you need to be reserved when you're around boys, but if you're both girls, the distance between you should be able to be shortened immediately, and it shouldn't feel awkward at all!

"……you are so Beautiful."

She stared at Pendragon's face for a few seconds, then as Touka's gaze shifted down to his shoulder, her eyes instantly filled with pity.

"You're toxic."

Pendragon pushed up his glasses and casually opened a door to peer inside.

Apart from the necessary bedding, the neatly arranged desk and wardrobe contained no personal belongings, so this appeared to be the guest room.

"By the way, we still don't know your name."

Touka hadn't had time to change out of her restaurant uniform when she followed Pendragon into the room.

"Darth Thanos Pendragon".

"..."

Dong Xiangjiang frowned slightly. It's not a problem if foreigners' names are pronounced a little strange, but...

"If you find it too troublesome, you can also call me Ahoge."

Pendragon loosened the tie around his neck, his demeanor gradually becoming more relaxed.

"Ahoge..."

Dong Xiang pondered the pronunciation for a moment and thought it was okay.

"By the way, ahoge, are you here in Tokyo for tourism? Where's your luggage?"

Pendragon thought for a moment, nodded, and then said matter-of-factly, "I don't need luggage."

"How can you do this when we're out having fun! You don't have anything!"

With no money and no luggage, she might have even lost her passport and visa. Dong Xiangjiang saw bare feet under the trousers, so white they were almost blinding.

"Ugh."

Seeing that Pendragon didn't refute her at all and didn't seem to care, Touka sighed as if defeated.

"If you need to take a shower, the bathroom is over there."

Pointing to the opposite side, Touka paused for a moment before continuing, "Use mine for toiletries tonight."

Because you're so good-looking, I'll let you have this opportunity.

In this era, good looks are everything!

P.S.: Wanting everything is greedy, but the author likes it! By the way, do you guys still have any monthly tickets left? For each place in the top ten of the new book ranking, I'll add one chapter (including tenth place).

Is Chapter Twenty-One because it's not fully ascended?

Chapter 21

"Ah."

Seeing Pendragon nod, Touka realized there was nothing more to say, so she went back to her room and closed the door, presumably to change out of her restaurant uniform.

Pendragon went into the bathroom and took a look. His first impression was that it was small.

The bathroom, only a few square meters in size, felt extremely cramped. It was far larger than the open-air hot spring on the Pendragon, and even the bathtubs in luxury hotels were bigger than this room…

"Huh? What about people?"

Dong Xiangjiang, now dressed in casual clothes, turned her head left and right, but saw no one in the living room or kitchen, nor in the open room.

The light shining through the bathroom seemed to say: I'm here!

Although the bathroom was small, the bathtub was quite large; Pendragon could lie down completely inside, and it was usable even if we had to make do.

It was still so narrow, Pendragon thought, feeling a bit like going back to the hot springs. But once you lay down here, unless you had an extremely strong motivation, you basically wouldn't be willing to move.

It's like when people think about the night in winter, but the warmth of their blankets is so attractive that they hold back until they can't hold back any longer.

There was a sudden knock on the bathroom door. Pendragon was lying in the bathtub with a book floating above him, ignoring the situation outside.

"Ahoge? Are you in there, ahoge?"

"I'm here."

Pendragon is purposefully infiltrating this world's network using intelligence provided by the transmigrators.

"I left my pajamas and slippers by the door."
