Lu Mingfei is transforming into the final boss.
Chapter 39 Tonight is Christmas Eve
For Faldius, the current situation is that his single-mindedness has become a dead end. He can neither kill Lu Mingfei nor kill anyone related to her. Lu Mingfei is a person who has no historical records, which means that it is impossible to simulate a personality model by analyzing her mythology.
They didn't even know who Lu Mingfei was, let alone guess what kind of person she was. In their eyes, Lu Mingfei and the people around her were like a minefield that hadn't been cleared; if you stepped on it, you had no idea whether it would explode.
It is this uncertainty that brings fear. If you know it will explode, then the plan to step on it can be completely rejected, because it will definitely anger her. If it won't explode, then even better, you can step on it however you want.
But it is precisely this unknown that makes the consequences of stepping on it uncertain. People always like to gamble on the unpredictable unknown, thinking that they might be the lucky ones. Faldius was not one of them, so he did not take any further action. If those people formed an alliance, he would be doomed. He could not deal with their alliance and could only hand over the victory.
Moreover, because he ordered Assassin to take action, the Mafia family that cooperated with them also went berserk. His pressure is now only increasing. If he also provokes a being that seems to be a god manifesting itself, it seems that he will only bring about his own destruction.
"Is that all...?"
He lay down in his chair.
"It's all done." Lu Mingfei looked at the group of people waiting for her reply.
"Did you do it? That's amazing. What kind of magic trick was that?"
"It's Word Magic," Lu Mingfei said calmly, staring into the young man's eyes. "By controlling a large amount of wind element to spread to the desired area and bringing the sound back to the ears, you can monitor the sound within the entire area. Oh, by the way, because the principle is the reflection and collision of wind, the lip movements can also be analyzed."
"Wouldn't it be impossible to conduct reconnaissance using communication software?"
"There's another way." Lu Mingfei stretched. "Is anyone hungry...? I'm so hungry, I really want to eat."
"Speaking of which, I've been working hard all day, and I'm starving!" Flatt was the first to respond to Lu Mingfei.
"Hey... is this supposed to be a leisurely mealtime...? I really admire you guys, my heart is still pounding like crazy." Ayaka Sajou clutched her chest, even though she was just being sniped, the topic suddenly shifted to food. "And, with the fighting like this, are there even any restaurants still open in Yukihara City?"
Considering last night's battle and the opening of the barrier today, Ayaka Sajou figured that any citizens who were worried about their lives would have already fled the city.
"Good question." Lu Mingfei suddenly pondered for a moment. "Let me investigate using the Kamaitachi."
"Using such a powerful technique to investigate whether the restaurants there are open... what a simple approach."
"Ah! Found it, but that shouldn't be considered a restaurant... it should be more like a hotel or something? And there's an old acquaintance there too." Lu Mingfei pointed to the tall building in the distance.
"You're not talking about the place I just ran from, are you?" Flat asked tentatively.
"Yes, that's the only place in Snowfield City that offers decent dining, right? I'm sure such a high-end hotel must have a good chef, and the family-run management style also prevents the chef from running away for their own safety. Let's get going!"
"Mingfei, wait..."
Ayaka Sajou felt herself flying, and at an astonishing speed.
Lu Mingfei used magic to lift them all up and fly together; perhaps she thought flying was faster.
"Wow!! So this is what it feels like to fly! It's amazing! The speed is about three times the speed of sound. The G-force from accelerating from zero to such a high speed has completely disappeared. That's incredible."
Only Flat looked indifferent. Perhaps he was the only one who could accept all kinds of developments without finding them strange. His ability to accept things was exceptionally high. However, he was probably not a normal person either, as normal people wouldn't think this way.
The moment Flat finished speaking, they arrived at the upper floors of the hotel building where Tini and Enkidu were.
Tini, who was still in a daze when she saw the group land, was not quite sure what was going on, while Enki had already started greeting them. She seemed to know everything and wasn't surprised at all.
"Hello, foreign god, thank you for your contribution in this war, which averted a great crisis for humanity." Enkidu made a statement that left everyone else confused, and even Lu Mingfei didn't understand what he was talking about.
"Huh? You mean the Pale Knight?" Lu Mingfei asked. "This outfit is still the most comfortable."
She had changed into a loose, simple short-sleeved shirt and black straight-leg pants, with ordinary flip-flops on her feet.
The saintly aura she exuded just moments before vanished completely under this outfit. More than the exotic god Enkidu spoke of, she resembled a girl next door, dressed in casual clothes after school, buying snacks. Among the others in their elaborate attire, she looked like a clueless bystander.
"Did you even change your clothes in such a short time?" Ayaka asked Lu Mingfei.
"I've learned how to shape clothes with magic now. Oh, and I didn't ruin the clothes I borrowed from the band. I even cleaned them up. I can take them back to them later." Lu Mingfei floated slowly behind her, holding several pieces of clothing.
"Is now the time to care about that kind of thing...?"
"What are you all doing here?" Tini was ready to retaliate, but she had no confidence in the face of this powerful figure who could vaporize Cerberus in one blow. However, out of respect for the King, she would not back down an inch. With the King of Heroes fallen, she was undoubtedly the weakest link in the entire Holy Grail War.
She was gathering her magic, anticipating any tyrannical acts Lu Mingfei might commit, and any unreasonable demands she might make on them... but...
"I want to eat."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"What did you say?" Tina was completely taken aback by this answer. She couldn't believe that this grand flight, visible to everyone in the city, was just for the sake of eating. Good heavens, she simply couldn't understand it.
"Let's eat." Lu Mingfei felt a bit tired from standing for so long, so she casually found a sofa and sat down. "Oh, right! Thanks for reminding me, Flatt, do you have any money on you?"
"Money! Let me see, I don't know if it's enough!" Flatt immediately reached for his wallet.
"That's not what I meant..." Tini felt like she couldn't keep up with the train of thought of these weirdos.
"Eating here is free? Thank you! You're such a kind person!" Lu Mingfei immediately took a few steps to Tini, ready to take her hand. "Hey, isn't that the golden-haired guy? Is he asleep?"
"…………" Ayaka was speechless. Was she really that bad at reading the room? This is exactly what they mean by bringing up the most awkward topics.
"Did you come here specifically to mock me?" Tini stared into Lu Mingfei's eyes.
"How could I? I wouldn't do such a thing." Lu Mingfei's eyes remained unchanged. "I really came here to eat. Right now, you're the only place in the entire Snowfield City that offers such luxurious dining services. As for Gilgamesh... his defeat was only due to his own mistakes, it had nothing to do with anyone else, right, Enkidu?"
"Hmm." Enkidu simply nodded. Gilles' failure was solely due to his own arrogance, though the unexpected arrival of the goddess also played a part. However, if he hadn't been arrogant and had instead carefully kept the key, things wouldn't have turned out this way. So, the same principle applies; his failure was ultimately caused by his arrogance.
"Do you want to resurrect him?" Lu Mingfei asked softly. "Oh no, he died more than four thousand years ago, so he's not really alive now and can't be resurrected. Anyway, could you provide a meal? I would be very grateful."
"I'll help. Aren't you afraid I'll poison you?" Tini asked in a flustered voice.
This Crystal Hill is her property, and it is usually operated as a regular hotel, so she naturally prepares a lot of food. Although she hasn't received any supplies these past two days, it's still enough to provide meals for just a few people.
"I don't mind. Betraying me at dinner... seems to date back almost two thousand years." Lu Mingfei smiled sweetly.
After she finished speaking, she ignored the shocked looks of the others, lay down on a sofa and went to sleep, telling them to wake her up when it was time to eat.
Tini vaguely guessed the meaning behind those words, and she turned her gaze to Enkidu, hoping to get the answer she wanted from this second most trusted servant.
Unfortunately, Enkidu simply nodded slightly, without asking what the question was, but simply affirmed the answer.
"Richard...she is..." Ayaka looked at her servant.
"Let me calm down." Richard removed his armor and changed into the clothes he had borrowed from the rock band.
The shock caused by those words was most profound for Richard than for anyone else. He couldn't possibly be unaware of what it meant. Going back nearly two thousand years, it was about a god who could save lives and was betrayed at dinner. With these keywords combined, her identity was already obvious.
However, no one told anyone, and it became a secret shared by the group of them.
Until night fell, the meal was prepared, and Lu Mingfei woke up, no one mentioned the matter; it remained a closely guarded secret.
The most peaceful night has passed, but an unprecedented strong wind has swept through the snowfield city.
