Book 4: Chapter 60:2: Chen Heng and Ch’en, Part 2

After Chen Heng went out, it was Exusiai’s turn. However, she still maintained a smile on her face, not appearing worried at all. She was the true repeat offender. It was possible she had been here more frequently than she had visited Rhodes Island.

“Ah Heng, how was it? That Madam Ch’en did not make things difficult for you, right? She’s supposedly famous for being strict.”

“It was fine. Ch’en did not make trouble for me. She only asked some basic questions. However, Liz, I noticed you did not react to being brought to the Lungmen Guard Department.”

“What is there to react to? I only need you by my side.”

Nightingale’s answer placed the ball back in Chen Heng’s court, but he did not know what to do with it; he had no idea what to say now.

“Liz, have you taken your medicine today?” This was all Chen Heng could come up with after thinking for a long time.

“Ah Heng, you should talk about pleasant things. My injuries are basically healed, so I don’t need to eat the medicine anymore, right? That medicine is a little bitter.”

“That won’t do. You still have to take the medicine. Nightingale, just endure the bitterness for two more days. You should be fine after two more days of medicine.”

“Alright, give it to me.”

Nightingale extended her soft, fair hands to Chen Heng.

“What are you asking for?”

“Of course, the medicine and water.”

“…The medicine I gave you should last twenty days. Did you not bring it? Did you do it on purpose, or did you forget?”

“Initially, I forgot. However, I intentionally left the medicine in Rhodes Island after Shining brought the medicine to me. I’m here to have fun in the first place; why take the medicine?”

“…”

In the end, Chen Heng coaxed Nightingale into taking the medicine. This time, he gave her the Wood Divine Pill, the higher-grade version. Just taking this one pill should more or less do it.

He Who Knows Fate: I just arrived at Lungmen and am currently in the Lungmen Guard Department? Urgently waiting for an answer.

Magus of Flowers: What’s going on? How did you cause trouble the moment you got to Lungmen?

He Who Knows Fate: Let me say this first: it was not my fault at all.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Like I believe you.

Kal’tsit: It is indeed not Chen Heng’s fault this time. Someone from the Lungmen Guard Department requested the operator information of He Who Knows Fate, Nightingale, and Skadi earlier. It’s because these three and Penguin Logistics’s staff—Exusiai and Texas—ended up in a gunfight with a group of gangsters.

Umaru-chan: A gunfight? Your way of having fun is truly problematic!

He Who Knows Fate: How can you blame me for that? I was riding Penguin Logistics’s vehicle, and gangsters attacked us the moment we entered Lungmen. How was I in the wrong?

Kal’tsit: Actually, if anyone’s to blame, it would be Penguin Logistics. Due to the nature of their work, they frequently deliver many dangerous or illegal items. That means they often have dealings with the underworld. That’s why gangsters attacked when you entered Lungmen. It makes sense and is reasonable.

He Who Knows Fate: Look! Look! I’m really the good guy here.

Efreet: However, I find this strange. Why did you run into such a sudden attack? Don’t you have the Absolute Precognition?

He Who Knows Fate: …

Queen of Ice and Snow: That’s right. Now that you said this, I do find it somewhat strange.

He Who Knows Fate: About that…actually, I only used the Absolute Precognition to see the results of drawing cards so far. Because I was going to Lungmen to have fun, I wanted to preserve the sense of mystery, so I did not use my Absolute Precognition.

Magus of Flowers: He Who Knows Fate, I feel you are comparable to Golden Glitter from the Fourth Holy Grail War and Fifth Holy Grail War. Despite having the EX-ranked Noble Phantasm, Sha Naqba Imuru: The Omniscient Omnipotent Star, he insisted on not using it. In the end, he lost.

[TL Note: Golden Glitter is a nickname for Gilgamesh in the Fate series because of his golden armor, hair, and soul. There are also other nicknames, like Goldie, used by other characters in the Fate series. Here is more information about Gilgamesh: /wiki/Gilgamesh. Here is more information on Sha Naqba Imuru: The Omniscient Omnipotent Star: /wiki/Sha_Naqba_Imuru.]

He Who Knows Fate: However, if I know the future, it will be extremely boring. When I previously watched the Fourth Holy Grail War and Fifth Holy Grail War, I also felt that Golden Glitter was a fool. He had a powerful tool but sealed it away. However, I understood him after I gained the Absolute Precognition.

He Who Knows Fate: Furthermore, my Absolute Precognition is different from Sha Naqba Imuru: The Omniscient Omnipotent Star. My Absolute Precognition is from a first-person perspective, as though I am truly there.

Faillen Angel Gabriel: However, it would still be better to use it if you don’t want the people with you to get hurt, and to avoid getting into trouble yourself.

He Who Knows Fate: That makes sense.

Seeing that, Chen Heng suddenly felt slightly fearful. He would be fine, as he felt absolutely confident in not getting injured in this world. However, he could not guarantee Skadi and Nightingale would not get hurt.

He could put Skadi aside, for now, as her combat prowess was practically at the upper limit of this world. If she fought Talulah, she might even hold the upper hand. However, it was different for Nightingale.

Nightingale was a proper Medic, unlike Shining, who could split a mountain with a sword. She was like ordinary Medics, a six-star operator in the domain of medicine, not losing to anyone, but when it came to combat, she only had her Arts Shield and Sanctuary for protection.

Furthermore, Nightingale was still injured, so she was currently weaker than ordinary Medics.

Thinking of this, Chen Heng held out his hand to Nightingale.

“What’s wrong, Ah Heng?”

“Give me your hand for a while. I’ll check your luck for the next few days.”

“Ah Heng, are you moonlighting as a psychic?” Although Nightingale teased Chen Heng, she still held out her hand to Chen Heng.

It was not like their hands had not touched in the heart maze. Even more exciting things had happened. Holding hands was nothing.

Chen Heng closed his eyes and activated his Absolute Precognition.

Chen Heng saw Nightingale’s future in an instant. Of course, that was just the near future. Then he saw Nightingale bathing—ahem…ahem…—He saw Nightingale being very happy in the near future. Nothing special happened, and she would not suffer any harm.
