Chapter 66: Arriving at the New Home!
Chapter 66: Arriving at the New Home!
After being shaken by Gudako for more than ten seconds, Merlin finally, shakily, opened his eyes.
Clearly, Merlin's resilient vitality, which he often boasted about, was not just empty words. He managed to withstand Gudako's unexpected detour and the powerful impact of the Anti-Army Noble Phantasm that came straight at him. He survived it all. Furthermore, despite the near-fatal shaking blow that followed, he ultimately survived.
However, well... if Gudako had continued shaking, that would be a different story.
"Ah, Merlin, you're finally awake!" Gudako heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing Merlin awaken. Thankfully, everything was fine with the ammo.
Since Merlin disappeared from Chaldea the day before yesterday, Gudako had been feeling anxious. After all, her Servants, to varying degrees, relied on Merlin's support. Just when she finally obtained an assist, she suddenly lost it again. It was more distressing than if someone had killed her.
It wasn't just about having fewer support options for her Servants; it was also because without Merlin, she wouldn't have a source of ammunition for summoning Chen Gong.
Now, if she were to lose Merlin, it would mean losing the ammo she had obtained for nothing. She would have to reluctantly use Mashu as ammo instead. This... This... This was absolutely unbearable!
"Ah... Uh... I'm fine." Seeing Gudako looking at him with concern, although this scene should have been heartwarming, Merlin couldn't help but feel a bit flustered.
It was as if Gudako was not looking at a living Servant, but rather a humanoid self-walking consumable tool.
However, despite having this feeling, it was clear that he didn't have time to worry about what Gudako might be thinking. Although the chill he felt from Gudako was indeed strong, it paled in comparison to another grudge he sensed.
Because Merlin had already felt a chilling presence behind him.
There, a creature with bared teeth and an evil grin stared at Merlin. It was none other than Evils of Humanity Fou!
Initially, it had the ability to teleport, which would have allowed it to quickly escape the danger. It even considered saving Merlin, as despite this wretched person throwing it down from a height of twenty floors and subjecting it to centuries of continuous falling, their relationship before being thrown was quite good.
However, just as Fou was about to make up its mind to teleport with Merlin...
Suddenly, Merlin accelerated in a short burst, took a two-meter run-up, and kicked Fou with a forceful blow. It was as if Merlin transformed into Lionel Messi himself, treating Fou like a football and powerfully kicking it towards a distant tree.
If that were all, it wouldn't be much of a problem. Fou could simply kick back later.
But the crucial point was that the exact spot where Fou was kicked happened to be the precise landing point for Mashu's descent. Merlin's kick sent Fou's head straight into the tree trunk, and it got stuck, unable to be pulled out. As a result, it was trapped in place and at the mercy of being pummeled.
Fou, baring its teeth, looked at the surviving Merlin and realized with great clarity that this wasn't just an ordinary wretched person. It was time for a heavy blow!
After walking for over half an hour, following the coordinates given by Ryunosuke, Bai Song finally arrived at Ryunosuke's house.
It was a very classic single-family home, and on the right side of the front entrance, there was a sign with the characters "Uryuu," indicating that it was Uryuu Ryunosuke's home.
No, from the moment he arrived here, it ceased to be Ryunosuke's home; it became his home.
Looking at the house, it was incredibly reminiscent of Nobita's house, like a high-definition replica. Of course, there were certainly differences in many details, but the overall shape seemed to be a complete copy of Nobita's house, strikingly similar.
"Finally, the new home." Bai Song didn't relax upon seeing this house that evoked a strong sense of familiarity.
After all, this Ryunosuke guy was a serial killer. What if Bai Song opened the front door and was pleasantly surprised to find a bunch of corpses? It made Bai Song a little nervous, although he would definitely still live here; it just wouldn't be as comfortable.
Putting aside the haunted mansion he used to live in with Tom, let's talk about before he traveled through time. Once, when he failed an exam and was extremely angry... well, there were also some factors of fearing his parents' love and punishment. In any case, in a fit of anger, he spent a night in a dilapidated house on a graveyard hill.
Mainly because of this high-end experience, his relationship with Tom and Jerry wasn't that close.
Upon hearing Bai Song suddenly say they had arrived at the new home, Tom immediately pulled the zipper of Bai Song's coat from the inside and popped his head out, grinning widely as he observed the house they were about to... oh no, going to live in.
Jerry also observed the house in the same manner as Tom, but unlike Tom, it wasn't as noticeable because of its small size, even though it always stayed on Bai Song's shoulder. Few people would pay much attention to it.
This genuinely made Tom a bit envious and created a sense of separation. All the scenery belonged to Jerry, while all Tom had was that damn sense of security hiding in his owner's clothes. If it weren't for his fear of the cancellation of dinner with Bai Song, Tom really wanted to punch Jerry's head in frustration.
No, rather, if Bai Song weren't here right now, Tom would have already started going after Jerry! With all sorts of props!
Only at times like this did he truly appreciate the benefits of being small.
"Squeak~." After mentally preparing himself, Bai Song pushed open the gate of the yard and stepped into the courtyard of the house.
The first thing that caught his eye was a front yard with an area roughly the size of half a basketball court. It was quite spacious, and if a cat and a mouse were to engage in a major battle again, they could perhaps be thrown outside to fight for three hundred rounds.
Bai Song didn't believe that merely using food as leverage would allow this cat and mouse to peacefully coexist without fighting. If they could maintain a non-combat state for a whole day, Bai Song would consider it a victory.
With that in mind, Bai Song nodded and thought to himself that with this arrangement, the house would surely have no problems. Just the thought of it made Bai Song feel confident!
After scanning the front yard, Bai Song arrived at the front door and took out a bunch of keys from Ryunosuke's wallet.
"Click." Bai Song turned the key, and accompanied by the sound of the door unlocking, it opened.
