Chapter 691

One-Punch Man.

"Sang Bo why can he get the Holy Grail?? This, this is too weird, right?"

"When seeing the little note Sang Bo left behind, Tong Di couldn't hold back…… How could those who walk the Pleasure Path have so many strange things?!"

"Inside the Hero Association, facing Tong Di's doubts, Bang Gu on the side was calm and composed, seeming not surprised at all."

"If my guess is correct, then it's not strange that he could get the Holy Grail."

"\"A guess? What do you mean by your guess? \""

"Bang Gu cleared his throat: \"Sang Bo... do you think he could possibly be an emissary of Pleasure? \""

"\"An emissary of Pleasure?! \" Tong Di also gasped upon hearing that, waving his hands repeatedly, \"Impossible, impossible! How could Sang Bo possibly be an emissary? Would an emissary still lack money for a spontaneous trip? \""

"\"But those who walk the Pleasure Path cannot be judged by common sense, let alone their emissaries. Furthermore, Sang Bo knows the existence of the firmament, and knows that we, this group of 'spectators' under the firmament... Whether it was initially in Ya Luò or now in Pinokangni, he has spoken to us, we just couldn't respond. \""

"\"But I still think it's unlikely. \" Tong Di then shook his head and said, \"If he really is an emissary, I don't really believe Hua Huo could hide his mask. As for the firmament matter, I recall Hua Huo also did something similar? I'm more inclined to think the firmament is related to the Pleasure Path; those who walk this path can all sense our existence. \""

"——"

"\"Yo? How have you been lately? \""

"\"After Zhigengniao left, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind Xing; she turned around and saw Lancer greeting him. \""

"\"I have to say, Pinokangni is really a great place, especially this bar. Even the Boteo brothers can't stop praising its flavor. \""

"\"Where did you get the money? \""

"\"Don't look at me like that; I won a championship in the Mobile Ball tournament, and I also wiped out the monsters on the Nightmare Border for the House of Hounds. They privately call me big brother... Hunting hounds and fierce hounds, that's also a kind of fate. \""

"\"Lancer smiled meaningfully: 'Come to think of it, you seem to be a big shot here? You should know Miss Shuong, the bartender at the bar, right?'\""

"\"I won't set you up. \""

Lancer sighed with emotion, his gaze seemed to have become distant: "That really is a beauty, witty and humorous; just thinking about it could fill a whole cup of fine wine."

"I'm also quite humorous."

"Forget it, adults' feelings—even if I told you, you being a child wouldn't understand."

Lancer took out a bottle of Suerda from his pocket and handed it to Xing, saying: "I've known you for a while; regardless of whether you acknowledge it, I sincerely consider you a friend worth associating with. Come, this little thing, just consider it a gift for you—don't dislike it."

fate/Emiya family's meal.

"Huh? Why is Lancer still staying there? The Holy Grail War isn't over yet, is it?"

When seeing Lancer's familiar voice still lingering in Pinokangni, Saber also looked puzzled: "That guy actually went to participate in…… the mobile ball competition? What is that, by the way?"

Archer calmly said from the side: "When I was fighting the clockmaker old man earlier, I projected that thing once; it's a kind of vehicle similar to a bowling ball, very fast, and good for hitting people."

Seeing Lancer and Xing chatting and laughing in the sky canopy, Caster couldn't help but let out a soft sigh: "What a pity, Saber, Archer. You came back so quickly, you didn't get to properly enjoy yourselves in Pinokangni; although you resolved the Holy Grail issue, you should have forgotten you were at the Festive Star, right? Everyone in the galaxy wants to vacation there once."

Compared to that, Lancer still knows how to enjoy himself better. Since he made a trip to the sky canopy, of course he should experience the local specialties so as not to shortchange himself; coming straight back like this is simply entering a treasure mountain and leaving empty-handed.

"Heh, that kind of place of wine and women…… I can't be bothered to stay there." Archer still had that indifferent look, saying: "On the other hand, Lancer…… that guy actually ended up chatting with that bartender; is he not planning to come back?"

Afterward, Xing stayed in Pinokangni for a while longer, then received a message from Natasha, in which she thanked Xing for taking care of Hu Ke in Pinokangni; as a token of gratitude, a very crucial combat competition is currently being held in Panorock Town, and if she's interested she can come watch.

Xing thought it had also been a while since he'd last seen Xi Er, so he figured this was a good opportunity to meet an old friend, readily agreed, and immediately got up and went to Panorock Town.

Not long after landing, Xing saw Xi Er and Ao Lie Ge chatting in the distance, seemingly also discussing the combat competition.

"Aren't you going to watch, Xi Er? This is that kid's title defense match."

"... Never mind. Anyway, with him around, the championship won't go to anyone else's head."

Ao Lie Ge burst out laughing loudly: "Hahaha, that's true! I can understand not wanting to join the fun, after all the scene is always pretty much the same. Hey, this rare leisure… shouldn't I find a place to stretch my bones?"

Xing curiously went over; as soon as the two saw Xing, they immediately opened up, especially when chatting about the current leisure in Panorock Town, Xi Er felt she was about to grow sick from idleness.

"I kind of miss the warmth of Panorock Town."

Xi Er also widened her eyes: "……Warmth? I really don't know what you've been through afterwards."

Death God.

Those experiences are plenty……

Ichigo looked up at the familiar Panorock Town; this could be said to be the starting point of Xing's journey. Looking back now, although Ke Ke Li Ya caused quite a commotion with the help of the star core, compared to the one that let the entire A Si De Na star system sink into the 'Taiyi Dream' Xingqiri, and the one that can at any time use the power to detonate a star's worth of energy, Huan Long…… it's not even on the same level.

That said, when Xing fought Ke Ke Li Ya earlier, the train crew didn't rely on any other envoy's power; it counts as the first time they completely defeated a strong enemy solely through the train crew's cooperation.

"I really hope that in the future, the envoy-level monsters we encounter will be fewer; although for now there's just a primitive doctor that has popped up, fortunately we won't have any conflict with him for the time being……"
