Artoria wants to read people's hearts

After less than 2 minutes, she frowned, and finally made a decision in her heart.

Wang is not an indecisive person, on the contrary, she is more decisive.

So she turned her head and said to Asuna who was walking beside her, "Asuna, I have something to tell you."

When she saw the flaxen-colored long-haired girl turn around in response, she couldn't help but paused, and continued after two seconds.

"[Laughing Coffin] is like a cancer, and as long as it exists in this game, someone will continue to suffer from them.

Even if we liberate this game at this moment, what should the members of [Smiling Coffin] who have not been caught do?

Players don't know their IDs, nor their identities, so it can be expected that they can still get away with it after returning to the real world. "

When she said this, she pursed her lips tightly, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.

"I swore I would make them pay a terrible price.

So please give me another week, in this week, I will definitely make them regret what they did. "

Hearing the blond girl's words, Asuna lowered her eyes, and only thought, 'Ah, this really looks like what Pendragon can say. ' with emotion.

She didn't stay silent for a long time, and then said with a slight smile, "...If it's only a week, then there is no problem."

After those words sparkled in those green eyes, she suddenly changed the topic.

"but........"

She raised her eyes and looked at the other person seriously.

"...but a week from now, if you don't fulfill your promise, say........do not exterminate [Smiling Coffin], then what will you do What to do?"

This is a more realistic topic, [Smiling Coffin] is indeed a cancerous tumor, but on the other hand, every day that passes, maybe someone will die because of this game, right?

Both the front and the back are sharp blades, so how should Pendragon balance it out?

"........."

Arturia reached out her hand silently, and took up the light that came through the leaves.

The bright sunlight leaked through the fingers, and fell on the eyes of the girl and the same color as the forest, with stars shining.

"If that's the time—" She parted her lips lightly, her eyes blurred like the sunlight in spring, fluttering like a bird, fluttering like a butterfly's wings.

"——At that time, I will give up the crusade against their crimes, and then find that man to end this half-year-long sorrow."

So far, what is there to doubt?

Now that Artoria has been decided to give Arturia a week, there is no point in going to the headquarters of the Knights of the Blood Order at this time. After all, it is not a rational behavior to scare the snake.

After they sent an email to Kirito and briefly explained the situation here, the two turned their horses and headed back towards the town.

"correct."

On the way, Asuna asked Artoria such a question, "Obviously they have killed people, why is your cursor still green?"

Regarding this question, the blond girl was stunned for a moment, then laughed twice and said, "I don't know too well, maybe there is a bug..."

"Is that right?"

"maybe."

Asuna: "......"

Artoria: "..."

The two of them stared at each other, and the flaxen-haired girl finally chose to put the matter aside, treating it as a bug.

after all.......

Even Artoria is confused about this, let alone give Asuna an answer.

———Horseshoe bursts———

Although they actually wanted to go directly to the town of the beginning to find clues about Xiao Yui's relatives, but before that, the two of them had to do another thing first.

And the unified scientific name of this matter is: ——Shopping.

Standing outside the clothing store, Asuna took the little girl's hand and walked in with Artoria.

In the warm welcome of the NPC clerk, the two of them looked left and right, and finally chose a white dress with lace flowers for Yui.

This behavior was not a whim of the two of them, nor was it to satisfy their desire to shop.

It's just because it's impossible not to buy clothes for Yui.

As I said before, the clothes on the little guy have already become dirty and torn because of that play and chase. If she continues to wear that dress, it may not last for a few days. It's about to go down to zero.

If that time really comes, what will the little girl with no clothes do?

It would be too late to think about buying clothes by then.

An hour later, the wealthy boys Asuna and Artoria finally left the bustling shopping street. Although they didn't carry anything in their hands, all the trophies they bought had actually been placed safely in the shopping mall. It's in your storage bar.

As for lunch.......

The three of them had eaten at the restaurant on the street just now, so they didn't feel hungry.

Looking at the time, it was already 02:30 in the afternoon.

"There is still plenty of time, let's go to the town of beginning now."

Asuna turned her head and suggested to Artoria, and as expected, she got approval from the other party.

———The first layer of transmission———

In the starting town of Aincrad's first floor, as a burst of blue light lit up, two figures, two, one, and one, and three figures appeared directly in the central square.

Coming to a strange place for the first time, Xiao Yui felt novelty everywhere at this time.

Compared with the dazzling sights on the shopping street and the fresh green among the woods, she was more curious about this large square, so that she could stare at every place for a long time.

Asuna let her go, and followed her to watch with great interest. After watching for a long time, she also felt something different and fresh.

The performance of these two people was quite interesting. Seeing this, Artoria frowned, and couldn't help but frowned.

But they have business to do here right now, if they delay any longer, the sun will be setting soon.

So Arturia coughed lightly, vaguely reminding Asuna that it was important to get down to business now.

".........what."

After realizing that her actions just now were really inappropriate, the flaxen-haired girl couldn't help but blushed in embarrassment.

She pursed her lips subconsciously, and then changed the subject hastily.

"Xiao Yui, are there any buildings nearby that look familiar to you?"

As soon as this question came out, it caught the little girl's attention as expected.

Withdrawing her gaze from looking around, Yui lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then finally shook her head blankly, "I don't know, I don't remember."

After that, it seemed that because she was a little dissatisfied with her answer just now, she lowered her head in frustration, her whole body was as pitiful as a frost-beaten watermelon.

"It doesn't matter." Seeing the little girl's dejected look, Arturia comforted her, "The town of the beginning is still very big, we can take a stroll and think about it."

This is true, the starting town is the first place where players arrive, and its area can be said to be one of the best among all towns.

The two stopped and stopped on the road with Xiao Yuyi. For them, it was a revisit to the old place, but for the little girl, everything in front of them was new and amazing.

As she was walking, the little girl stopped suddenly, and then stared blankly to her left.

"Little Yui, what's wrong?"

Asuna noticed the other party's behavior, and she couldn't help but feel puzzled, "Do you want to eat fruit?"

There happened to be a small fruit stand on the left, and a burly NPC inside was selling it hard at the moment.

However.........

"No." Shaking her head lightly, she pointed directly at the father and son who were shopping in front of the fruit stand.

"Hey, Liya." Yui called Artoria's name, then stepped forward and pulled her sleeve, "Can we be like them?"

It wasn't the child's unreasonable trouble, but he said this sentence in a softer, begging tone.

Following the direction of the other's fingers, Artoria saw the warm interaction between the father and son.

The child is lying on the father's back, while the father is carrying the child, and their faces are filled with the same bright smile.

So Arturia lowered her head to meet those moist eyes like black pearls, and then smiled brightly and cheerfully.

"Of course, my dear little Lady."

Chapter 24 I Like You The Most ([-] in [-])

The light flows down from the sky, flowing into a transparent and invisible curtain, reflecting the buildings and noise on the street.

That tone is like a certain corner in an old movie.

The side of the road is inlaid with tall and short floor tiles, and the sun is also buried in the bricks, giving off a light golden color.

She said she wanted to find clues to Yui's relatives, but what happened was that no matter where she went, facing these strange buildings and streets in the town of beginning, the little girl would all shake her head in reply.

"...Sorry, I really don't know."

The little girl also felt extremely anxious about her failure to help.

But there is no way, if you don’t know, you don’t know, if you can’t remember it, you can’t remember it.

As for this kind of thing, Arturia and Asuna knew better than anyone else.

"It's okay, it's not Xiao Yui's fault."

Artoria turned her head and said softly to the little girl lying on her back.

"This method doesn't work, we can change it, so don't worry, we will definitely find your loved ones."

Seeing that Xiao Yui's frown finally loosened a little because of what she said just now, the two involuntarily looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time.

Time always flies, especially when you focus on one thing.

Looking up at the sky, it was about three o'clock at this time.

"It won't work if you go on like this..."

Asuna frowned, and after thinking for a while, she expressed her opinion, "I remember that the town of the beginning is a place for children who are separated from their parents, or who have lost their parents. Maybe we can go there Take a look...."

This is indeed a good idea. After all, when parents can't find their children, places like this for lost children are usually the first choice they look for.

So she nodded, and Artoria agreed to the other party's proposal.

"I have some impression of what you said."

She opened her mouth and added, "In the town of beginning, I remember those children taken in by the church."

......So that’s the case, it’s the church.

Hearing these words, Asuna's eyes flashed a gleam of understanding.

Although she knew that there was such a place in the town of beginning, she didn't know exactly where it was. After what Artoria said just now, they now had a specific destination.

"In this case, let's go to the church first." She smiled, and then pointed to the buildings on the side of the road, "By the way, Xiao Jieyi can also see if there are any familiar places , Maybe I can recall something, maybe it’s something.”

"Well, sister, I will definitely work hard!"

Lying on Arturia's back, she clenched her small hand and waved towards the sky, expressing her full enthusiasm to the other party with this action.

Because Arturia's back was facing the little girl, she didn't see Yui's movements, but Asuna who was standing opposite could see them clearly.

then.........

"puff........"

The girl couldn't help laughing. After all, such a cute little guy really makes people laugh.

Xiao Yuyi was inexplicably laughed at by her sister, and she didn't know why she was so happy.

She hesitantly withdrew her hand that was still in the air, and then patted Artoria's shoulder with some doubts.

After receiving the signal, the blond girl turned her head, and immediately met Xiao Yui's big puzzled eyes.

Seeing the doubt in the black eyes of the other party, Arturia couldn't help but shook her head with a wry smile, indicating that she didn't know why Asuna was laughing.

But no matter what, it's a good thing that Asuna can smile so happily, isn't it?
