Artoria wants to read people's hearts

Because of the cover of the hood, the team members watching from the outside couldn't see the girl's face.

However, Hornby, who was rescued by the girl, was able to see clearly.

A blond girl with a childlike face that is not easy to detect, she has a pair of blue eyes as clear as a lake.

And in those eyes—the extremely embarrassed self.

"Are you OK?"

Opening her mouth to ask, Artoria jumped off the dead demon that couldn't die anymore.

Walking in front of the other party, she reached out her hand to the boy who seemed to be frightened.

"........thanks."

He looked at the girl's fair and slender palms, and then looked down at his hands that were too dirty to see through their original colors.

As if waking up from a big dream, Hornby straightened up suddenly, and quickly stood up from the ground full of dust and fallen rocks.

"Don't pull me—" he smiled awkwardly, "—look, I can get up by myself."

"That's it."

The blond girl didn't express any thoughts about this behavior, nor was she dissatisfied because the other party flicked her kindness.

She just raised her head slightly, and showed a very shallow smile to the somewhat embarrassed young man, "So, I understand."

Not intending to stay here any longer, Artoria turned around and began to climb up on the corpse of the demon species.

Although she can easily jump on it, it's really not easy to do this kind of thing so conspicuously in front of everyone.

Pretending to be an ordinary person, she easily did what Hornby behind her was only able to do out of breath.

After the two came out of the pit one after the other, they were surrounded by members of the hunting team who had been guarding outside.

"Pendragon, you are amazing!"

The voices of admiration were endless, and they chattered excitedly to Artoria.

"You were able to kill a demon species. This is a feat that we never dared to imagine."

The demon species, ranked sixth in the race, is not something that small fish and shrimp can easily kill.

But now, such a powerful race was killed by this girl who just joined them not long ago!

This kind of thing, this kind of thing! !

It's really cool! !

The pockmarked boy waved his fist excitedly, feeling that the battle just now was like a dream.

"......"

Seeing this, Artoria took two steps back unnaturally, then raised her hand and smiled wryly twice.

"What happened just now is actually very thrilling, and it's not as simple as what you saw."

"All in all——" she coughed softly, and she showed a frightened expression, "—it was an emergency, and I had no choice but to do this. If it was normal, I would definitely turn around and run away."

That's right, everyone also nodded belatedly.

In a critical moment like that, indeed, the only way to save someone is to take a desperate risk.

But no matter what......

"You saved this kid's life, and you deserve all the praise." Captain Vic stretched out his hand and patted the girl's shoulder, "Pendragon, you did a good job this time."

Regarding his words, Artoria just smiled and didn't continue to say anything.

Sometimes, accepting compliments is something a knight should do, isn't it?

"Okay, boys!" Vic turned his head and raised his voice, "It's not safe here, everyone take what we just got, we're leaving here now!"

As soon as his words fell, all the people hurriedly hugged the 'trash' they had just dug out in their hands, and followed Vic towards the outside of the ruins.

The canyon is still silent and mysterious, it seems that nothing can 'wake up' it.

Artoria followed behind the main force, turning her head for one last look before leaving.

Exquisite and atmospheric architectural style, the broken technological items left here.

In order to understand the information of each race, perhaps... I have to come here alone in the future.

Chapter 9 Pendragon, this girl is incredible (two in one)

"Boss, you don't know how powerful Pendragon is!"

After returning to the stronghold, the team leader Vic grabbed the arm of his leader with an embarrassing and mysterious expression and said, "That little Pendragon girl is terrible, she will kill her alone. Got a demon species!"

"Demon species?!"

Warren couldn't help being startled when he heard these three words. His eyes widened in shock, and he asked again as if he couldn't believe it.

"You mean that Pendragon killed a demon species by himself?!"

His voice raised subconsciously, which made the people nearby couldn't help but look in the direction of the two of them in doubt.

"That's right!"

Vic didn't think there was any problem with the sight of others, and he even deliberately raised his voice and said proudly.

"Pendragon rescued Hornby, and killed a demon species by herself. You don't know how thrilling the scene was at that time!"

Looking at the crowd gathered around because of his performance, he was like a storyteller, dancing and dancing to describe the scene at that time vividly and picturesquely.

Hearing the crowd's exclamations one after another because of the story he told, the smile on his face became even brighter.

I don't know, thought Vic was talking about his own heroic deeds.

The little girl Quinty followed her father into the crowd, and she rolled her eyes involuntarily after hearing the stories Uncle Vic told.

What is this?

What a fuss.

When sister Pendragon saved herself, what she did was much more exciting than these things.

but.........

Kundy's agile eyes turned, and she turned her head to look at Arturia who had arrived at the periphery of the crowd at some point.

The blond girl looked towards her as if aware of it, then blinked, and made a 'silence' gesture with the index finger of her left hand at the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this, the little girl nodded imperceptibly, then covered her mouth with her hands, with a smile in her eyes.

That's right, I won't say it.

After all, we have hooked up, it belongs to me and Sister Pendragon, and it is a little secret between the two of us.

"Yo!" When Vic was talking about rising, he suddenly spotted Artoria hiding in the corner of the crowd with sharp eyes, "Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here, no, our heroine is here!"

He paused in his storytelling, then held out his hand to the blond girl.

"Pendragon, come to my side!"

Following his voice and actions, in an instant, everyone who had been obsessed with the storyline turned their heads one after another, only to realize that Arturia was among them.

"Captain, what you said is too exaggerated."

With a smile on the corner of her mouth, she walked forward with a helpless expression on her face.

"How can it be said to be an exaggeration? My work is a serious artistic process." Smiling and patted the girl on the shoulder, Vic pushed her into the sight of everyone.

"Look, this is our hero!"

His words made everyone laugh in good faith, and then they couldn't help talking about what Arturia had done before.

"In other words, I already knew that Pendragon is a terrible girl." Kunti's father said to the middle-aged man beside him, "You know, it was the orcs who captured my daughter back then."

"Beastman!" He raised his voice and said to everyone, "Such a powerful race, the little girl Pendragon was able to bring my Kunti back unscathed. This fact is already enough to show how powerful she is." here."

This is true.

Following his reminder, everyone remembered the scene when the two of them came back a week ago.

Seeing the discussion among the crowd, the leader Warren couldn't help smiling and stepped forward to pat Artoria on the shoulder.

"Good job." He nodded in admiration, "It seems that I made a very wise choice in agreeing to your joining."

"Thank you for your compliment."

Artoria nodded solemnly and replied to the other party.

Smiling cheerfully, Warren didn't continue to say anything, only saw him turn around, and then yelled loudly at everyone.

"Okay!" His voice attracted everyone's attention, "Listen to it, and have fun, everyone, don't get together here, time waits for no one, are you all busy with the things at hand? ?"

"Why should you go, don't stay here."

Now that the leader had spoken, the crowd dispersed obediently in twos and threes.

As the leader said, the matter at hand has not been done yet.

After all...... the life of more than 100 people needs to be handcrafted by themselves.

Each of them has their own clear division of labor, so the gossip just now can be regarded as a rare leisure and entertainment here.

Looking at the figures of the crowd scattered in all directions, Werther, who has no audience, can't help but lose interest.

"Okay." He shrugged his shoulders. "Then Pendragon and I have to get busy now. After all, we didn't catch any prey today. It's time for our hunting team to re-plan the next course of action."

"Go, go." Waving his hand as if to chase away some annoying flies, the leader Warren cursed with a smile, "Hurry up and start your hunting plan, if everyone hasn't eaten meat tomorrow, I will find you thing."

The two have been friends since childhood, and conversations like this can already be called commonplace.

Arturia stood aside obediently, watching their interaction quietly with a smile in her eyes.

"Then, I'll go first."

After the two exchanged a few more sentences, Vic, who had a slight upper hand, withdrew as soon as he saw it.

After he nodded to Artoria, he left here directly with the blond girl.

"This guy........"

Shaking his head amusedly, Warren looked at the two of them leaving with a gentle expression on his face.

but.......

He moved his gaze to the back of the blond girl, his eyes flashed thoughtfully.

Combined with the performance of the other party during this period, maybe I can...

No, as expected, let's observe again.

After all, this matter is of great importance, and there will always be no problems if it is safe.

Thinking of this, he sighed, and the sense of vicissitudes on his face seemed to be even stronger.

————————————————————

Two days later, Arturia's hunting team finally managed to hunt the prey.

The team leader, Vic, finally raised his eyebrows in front of the leader, Warren, and the look on his face made the leader want to punch him twice.

"Here, here's your share."

The little girl who divided the meat smiled shyly, and then handed a piece of cut hind leg meat to Artoria.

This is the best piece of meat from the prey. After all, she is the hero of this operation. Without her, everyone might not be able to eat meat today.

"Thanks......"

Arturia looked at the red-haired girl in a daze, and suddenly realized that she didn't seem to know the other's name.

However, this is not a difficult thing for her.

"Thank you, pretty girl." She completed the sentence very quickly without any hesitation.

The pause was so short that even the person concerned didn't notice such a slight unnaturalness, let alone the other people who lined up behind her to get the meat.

"No, no, you are beautiful."

The red-haired girl pulled the corner of her clothes awkwardly, and her cheeks were instantly stained with a thin layer of red.

She looked at Artoria who took the meat, a glint of longing flashed in her eyes.
