Chapter 189: Gudako: I'm Not Bothered by Mortals!
"Ah~, Red Hare, I miss your persimmons~," Gudako said with a blush on her face, looking towards the direction of the large box.
If there were a biologist specializing in animal behavior present at this moment, they would undoubtedly conclude, "There's no mistake, this is mating behavior!"
Meanwhile, the person holding the box on the opposite side was puzzled by Gudako's words. He placed the box on the ground and asked, "Red Hare?"
"Yes, Red Hare, I miss—"
Gudako's voice, filled with cheesy intonation, was abruptly cut off as she finally got a clear look at the person's face across from her.
Instantly, Gudako felt the universe disappear, and she dropped the cheesy tone. With a tone that lacked enthusiasm, she said, "Ah, it's Lu Bu."
"Lu... Lu Bu?" Hearing this peculiar nickname, the Servant on the other side was taken aback. He couldn't fathom why his former Master would address him with such an inexplicable name. "Lu Bu?" What kind of nickname was that?
In contrast to Gudako's 180-degree turnaround, Mashu politely greeted him, "Good day, Diarmuid-san."
"Uh, hello, Mashu," Diarmuid responded promptly.
"It's alright, you can pass," Gudako stepped aside, creating a clear path for Diarmuid to proceed. She waved her hand in a dismissive gesture, almost like she was shooing away a pig.
Although Diarmuid wasn't sure why he was being sent away right after they met, he picked up the box and prepared to continue on his delivery. He only knew that Gudako was likely in a bad mood, and it was best not to provoke her during such times.
This advice came from Zhuge Liang himself, back when he was sending a message via icu. He advised Diarmuid never to approach Gudako during her erratic moments if he wanted to avoid an unhappy fate.
The last person who innocently told Gudako, "You seem to have a strong affinity with King Darius III every time you summon him," had turned into a pile of quantum particles. Even Mana Prisms had ceased to exist, as he wasn't a three-star Servant.
Diarmuid had been present when that happened. After Paris said that unfortunate line, he had intended to congratulate Gudako on summoning the powerful King Darius III.
However, the moment Paris finished speaking, he disintegrated on the spot. Diarmuid had immediately sealed his lips in terror.
Seeing Gudako driving Diarmuid away, Mashu's lips twitched, and a bead of cold sweat formed on her forehead.
"Senpai, isn't this a bit impolite..." Mashu approached Gudako and leaned in close to her ear, speaking softly.
Upon hearing Mashu's question, Gudako tilted her head in confusion and said, "Huh? Didn't he call himself 'Brush'?"
"No... Senpai?!" Mashu was utterly baffled by Gudako's response, her expression reflecting her disbelief. "You mean you call him 'Brush'? His name is Diarmuid-san!"
Gudako shook her head and then sighed in distress, "I can't remember. How can I possibly remember such a long name? With over 300 Servants in Chaldea, trying to remember all of them is like asking me to die."
"What about Miss Nero?" Mashu tentatively inquired, a hint of skepticism in her voice.
Gudako immediately answered with determination, "Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus!"
"Then... you can remember that!!"
Gudako held her head high and argued firmly, "It's not the same! What's Nero? A Gold Servant! Silver Servants might just end up as Mana Prisms anyway, so there's no point in remembering them!"
This statement genuinely shocked the still innocent Mashu. She gazed at Gudako with questioning eyes and suddenly uttered a soul-searching question, "Senpai... how many Servants have you actually burned?"
This question was Mashu's attempt to awaken Gudako's conscience. She knew that her Senpai was actually kind-hearted. She remembered how innocent Gudako had been when she first arrived at Chaldea. So how had she transformed into this seemingly heartless person?
"Hmph... hmhmhm."
However, Mashu didn't anticipate that Gudako would respond to her soul-searching question with a cold laugh. Gudako's demeanor now resembled that of an antagonist.
After the mocking laughter, Gudako used her index finger to gesture towards her own mouth. She followed this by smirking and slightly parting her lips.
"Do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten so far?"
"Senpai... you actually..." Mashu took a few steps back, her hands covering her mouth in disbelief. She couldn't fathom that her Senpai treated the act of burning Servants so casually.
"Well~ well~, that's all in the past. Let's not dwell on it," Gudako said, giving Mashu's rear end a pat.
Feeling the touch on her backside, Mashu's face turned bright red. "Huh?!"
In just an instant, Mashu had forgotten that she was supposed to correct Gudako's distorted values. She had inadvertently switched into a state of romantic infatuation.
Seeing Mashu's reaction, Gudako secretly smirked. Fooling Mashu was truly too easy, and she had already figured out how to do it without even needing to think.
Just using her instincts, she could divert Mashu's attention in a split second!
"Oh, by the way." Just as Gudako was feeling satisfied with having successfully fooled Mashu again, Diarmuid, who had just left after carrying the box, returned.
"Huh?" Upon hearing this voice, Mashu, with a face flushed red, instinctively tensed up. She covered her face to hide her embarrassed expression.
"Diarmuid-san, do you need anything else?" Mashu asked, her voice slightly muffled by her hands.
"Yeah." Diarmuid nodded and then turned to look at Gudako. "Speaking of which, were you looking for Red Hare earlier?"
"What's the matter? Are you going to dress up as a centaur and let me ride you?" Gudako raised an eyebrow at Diarmuid's words.
Considering this possibility, Gudako began to contemplate the feasibility of this idea in her mind. Surprisingly, it didn't seem too far-fetched! First, she liked Diarmuid's voice. Secondly, his voice actor was Hikaru Midorikawa. Most importantly, Diarmuid's voice actor was the same as the one for Red Hare.
"Oh... no." Diarmuid raised an eyebrow and decisively rejected Gudako's suggestion. "I meant to say that Red Hare is just down that street over there."
