Artoria wants to read people's hearts

At this moment of silence, Wang's voice tore through reality like a blade.

"Actually, it should be the fifth day." She said the specific time, "On the morning of the fifth day, I will walk with the light."

Arturia was ready, ready to cry and break down as a girl.

But the uneasiness was still uneasy, she carefully peeked at the emotion on Asuna's face, brewing words of comfort in her heart.

However.......

After being silent for a moment, the other party suddenly lowered his eyebrows and sighed softly.

"Then..." The girl parted her lips lightly, "...Pendragon, even if you are in a place where I can't see you, you must spend every day happily."

This time, Arturia was really stunned.

Asuna stepped forward and stood in front of her, then stretched out her palm to show her little finger.

"Pendragon." She said seriously, "Let's pull the hook, you have to promise me what you just said."

Looking at the girl's light golden eyes, Artoria was stunned for a few seconds, then slowly nodded and agreed, "I promise you, but you have to promise me, and you must be happy in the days to come. .”

"Okay, I agree." She replied.

The little fingers that colluded impressively, and the fate that criss-crossed, the two made an oath based on this.

— A liar will swallow a thousand needles.

Chapter 65 She Will Never Be Her Own ([-] in [-])

That was the night of the fourth day.

Artoria took back her scabbard, and asked Kapok Ji to sever the contractual connection on her own initiative.

None of the three of them went back tonight, and they chose to accompany her until the end with a very tacit understanding.

As if having a women's tea party, Kapok Ji, Lanzi, and Asuna sandwiched Artoria in the middle, and whispered together like this.

This is Artoria's rental house, although it is simple, it is extremely warm at the moment.

"You should have checked out the room, right?" Kapok Ji asked with his head tilted while hugging the pillow.

"Well, I've made an appointment with the landlady in advance." Artoria answered her question, "I told her that I'm going to live in another city, and because I'm leaving in a hurry, I might arrive When the house was handed over, it was my friends who came to help me tidy it up."

"The landlady knows you." She smiled, "When the time comes, you just come over and help me clean up these things."

"...Well, we got it." The three girls looked at each other, and then turned to another topic.

"Do you know?" Asuna shook her head, with a little gloating expression, "It's that guy named Nobuyuki Sugo, the game development director of my father's company, who was arrested by the police some time ago, and Sentenced to ten years in prison."

"???"

Blinked in shock.Both Artoria and the Konno sisters showed expressions of disbelief.

Kapok Ji and Lanzi had heard of this person, and Asuna had specifically told them before that if they met this man named Nobuyuki Xuxiang, they would never pay attention to him.

He also said that he was a terribly hypocritical guy who was out of his mind.

Why has it only been a month, and that guy has gone to prison.

Things were developing too fast like a tornado, making the three of Artoria and the others feel that they couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

"Actually, it's like this——" Asuna saw the doubts on the faces of the three people, and quickly explained to them, "—that guy didn't know if he had a brain twitch, and he chose to fight with the United States. The people inside and outside cooperated in an attempt to steal the core system code of "The Kingdom of Fairies."

When she said this, she sneered, "That's what Pendragon gave me, and the ten-year sentence is really cheap for him."

"And that's more than that." She added again, "That guy is very bold, I heard that he also wants to transfer a lot of the company's patented technology, and use this as a bargaining chip to get the company in the United States to arrange immigration for him formalities."

"If it hadn't been discovered in time..." She sighed, with fear in her eyes, "...my father's company might really go bankrupt by him."

This is really......

Taking a deep breath, Arturia was filled with anger, her eyes were so bright that she couldn't believe it.

If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have let him go so easily.

"Then—" she frowned and said worriedly, "—is your father's company okay?"

But the answer she heard was Asuna's sigh.

How could such a thing happen as if nothing happened.

"The company is a little shaken, because the bastard's behavior has indeed caused a certain loss to the company."

The flaxen-haired girl lowered her eyelashes, half-closed the thoughts in her eyes. At this time, the light dimmed in her eyes, melting the light gold into another kind of brilliance.

"But fortunately, this loss is still affordable for the company."

It can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. Although a large sum of money was lost, the foundation of the company has not been shaken.

After a moment of silence, Asuna suddenly talked about her plan.

"I plan to upload the 'seed' loaded with the core system of the "SAO" game to the public download platform, so that more people in the world can develop the virtual stealth industry on this basis."

On the warm bed, the girl's soft and boneless body leaned against Artoria's side, subconsciously grasping the lion pillow in her hands with both hands.

She tilted her head, tentatively cautiously and not annoyingly, "Pendragon, do you think I can do this?"

Watching the girl's soft hair fall to her chest, for some reason, Artoria suddenly felt her heart skip a beat.

This feeling......

"...Of course." She got up nonchalantly and grabbed the water glass on the table, then moistened her throat, "...I have already given it to you, How to deal with it is your freedom, isn't it?"

She put down the water glass and turned her head, looking at the other party's long hair under the light, she suddenly felt that her hair color was inexplicably close to a certain tea-haired girl in her memory.

I don't know... Is the child doing well now?

His thoughts diverged for a moment, and a strange feeling of bewilderment rose in his originally calm heart.

Stomach seems to be suddenly heavy.

Arturia looked down at the glass of water that she had already drank, her eyes full of solemnity.

"What are you looking at?" Kapok Ji leaned over curiously for a look, and then showed the expression of a subway grandpa looking at his mobile phone, "It's just a water glass, what's so interesting?"

"I'm wondering if something strange has been added to this water?" Arturia touched her chin and said solemnly, "After I finish drinking, I always feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."

"Huh?" The short-haired girl looked confused.

Lanzi also showed a puzzled expression.

But when Asuna heard this, she stood up with a worried face and asked her, "What's going on? What's wrong with your stomach?"

Looking at the worried expression on the other party's face, Arturia couldn't help but fell silent.

"...No, it's nothing." She shook her head and denied, "...Maybe it's just my illusion."

Artoria reached out and rubbed the other's soft hair, comforting, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile, after all, this body is a heroic spirit."

After saying this, she looked up at the clock on the wall, and then lay back on the bed again.

In this cold winter day, perhaps only the quilt can give her a little warmth.

Well........

He turned his head to look at the Konno sisters beside him, and then turned his head to look at Asuna with a gentle expression.

Well, in addition to being able to give her a little warmth under the quilt, these three little guys also make people feel warm in their hearts.

And as for the inexplicable emotion just now......

Blinked slightly.In an instant, she was deeply pressed into the deepest part of her heart by Artoria.

After all, there are some things that don't need to be delved into, and there is no need to delve into them.

Those who leave will leave after all, why bother to ask for trouble at this moment?

What's more, I...but I made an oath before.

Artoria coughed lightly.

Her expression was indifferent, and she brought back the topic of the crooked building just now. "If it is said that the 'seed' is to be uploaded to a public platform, doing so should deal a certain blow to your company."

"After all——" she looked at Asuna, "—"The Kingdom of Fairies" is now a gold medal project under your hands."

"Well, that's true." She nodded, "but it doesn't matter."

Her body cast a silhouette on the wall, with her snow-white neck hanging down, hugging a lion pillow, she seemed to have finally made up her mind, and said in a soft voice, "Compared with these petty profits, I want Pendragon Take a look and see how colorful the world will be because of it.”

If you like it, if you think I'm doing pretty well.

So is it true that one day you will come back?

Maybe one day, you will stand in front of me again, touch my hair with a smile, and praise me from the bottom of your heart, "Asuna, you really did a good job."

If it is possible, if such a day comes......

It doesn't matter if you say no, because I will never let you go.

At that time, I must say those three words to you personally.

After a brief silence, she raised her eyes and smiled lightly, "Pendragon, don't underestimate me, after all I'm very powerful."

In the girl's gentle smile as usual, there were turbulent waves buried deep in her bones.

"Like—" she draws out, "—could you tell me about your former life?"

Under Artoria's blank expression, Asuna gently clenched her hands.

"I have recently read a lot of books about the legend of King Arthur, and also searched for a lot of information on the Internet, but the things recorded on them make me feel more and more confused."

"Hey, Pendragon." She tried to pretend to be nonchalant and asked, "As a woman, what kind of relationship do you have with Guinevere?"

As soon as this question came out, the whole room fell silent in an instant.

While Arturia was still in a daze, Kapok Ji suddenly exclaimed in excitement.

"Ah, that's it! How can girls get together without talking about love?!" Her little face was full of gossip.

"Speak quickly, speak quickly."

She smirked and touched the blond girl's arm with her elbow, "You know, I'm also very interested in this topic."

"Kapok season!"

Lanzi tugged at the corner of her sister's clothes awkwardly, signaling that she should restrain herself, but in fact, if you look closely at Lanzi's brown eyes, you can see that there is also a flash of excitement inside.

To tell the truth with embarrassment, she is actually interested in this topic a little bit.

Forehead.......

Embarrassed, she scratched her cheek. For some reason, she subconsciously set her eyes on Asuna.

The expression on the other party's face was gentle and gentle, which made Artoria somewhat uncertain about the other party's thoughts at the moment.

It seems... as if it's really just ordinary interest.

But speaking of Guinevere, the expression on her face involuntarily softened when she thought of her wife.

"Gui Ni and I, although the two of us got married because of our political relationship, but..."

but what?

Asuna's heart suddenly lifted, as if she had reached the highest point on the jumping machine, the tension and anxiety made her hold her breath involuntarily.

She recalled the contents of the books she had read, and silently comforted herself in her heart that they were in harmony.

It's okay, Guinevere betrayed her, so they're not in love.

However, in the next second when she was mentally building up, she heard her sweetheart say this.

"But . . . I love her."

These three words fell into the ears clearly, and the string of reason in Asuna's mind collapsed in an instant.

how come?

How could this be?

Her eyes became a little confused for a moment, and the smile on her face froze.

She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to ask something, but her mouth seemed to be stuck with glue, and she couldn't make a sound.

At this moment, Kapok Ji, who is out of character, suddenly asked the question she wanted to ask.

"Wow!" Kapok Ji exclaimed exaggeratedly, and then her little face flushed with excitement, she asked, "But that's not what it says in the legend of King Arthur, it's not about Lancelot and Guinevere What, cheating or something?"
