me surrounded by women

No one answered, and Arturia was not in a hurry, she still looked at the sky calmly.

"What are you doing here."

A figure slowly came out from behind the big tree, and she stopped beside Artoria.

"Nothing, just look at the sky."

Artoria shook her head. She untied the cloak on her body and handed it to Chloe.

"…thanks."

Chloe looked at the red cloak in her hand, and silently tied it around her neck.

There was silence between the two of them.

Chloe turned her head and looked at the people next to her openly.

He has a rare handsome face, pure golden hair that makes people feel warm, blue-green eyes, a perfect tall figure, and a cool temperament. Although he looks a little cold at ordinary times, he makes people feel warm when he smiles.

Such a person, not only Orika, but even Chloe himself feels a little bit moved.

"Chloe... can I ask you a question."

Artoria turned her head suddenly, those starry eyes were just staring at Chloe, and she felt her heart beating very fast.

"I…"

Seeing Chloe's expression of refusal, Artoria couldn't help but patted her head.

"If it doesn't work, don't say it."

Perhaps bewitched by Artoria's gentle eyes, or perhaps moved by her actions, Chloe was silent for a while, then slowly opened her mouth

"I can say."

Next, Chloe began to explain her past.

Chloe is a hybrid of dark elves and humans. The dark elves have relatively strong blood. They were captured by humans and sold to a kind and noble old knight, but they were mistreated until they escaped and were picked up by the dark elf queen Orika Arrive, swear allegiance to the queen until his own body rots.

Artoria remained silent. She never expected that someone would dare to treat the elves like this. Chloe's situation was so miserable.

She lowered her head silently, not looking at the other party's calm look that made her feel sad.

"I can't eliminate your dissatisfaction with humans, Chloe."

"However, I can say that in this world, there are far more good people than bad people. Human beings may cause harm to you, but that is only a small number of people."

Arturia looked into the other's eyes seriously, her tone was slow and gentle

"Look, although Alicia and the others are human beings, they haven't hurt you, even though you have hurt their people."

"The women in the First Fortress also accepted you, why don't you point your views at those who hurt you, but at the whole human race?"

Arturia's words were spoken from Chloe's point of view, and it was better for Chloe to accept her point of view.

Sure enough, Chloe was silent, she lowered her head in thought.

Seeing that the other party was silent, Artoria didn't say anything, she looked at the sky quietly.

For a time, the atmosphere became extremely heavy.

Bai Gundai: Fortunately, there are [Leadership Temperament] and [Charisma] bonuses...

Section 82 No. 13 days to go

Just staying like this until the next day, Artoria slowly stood up from the grass, looked at the rising sun, and felt a tingling sensation that made her close her eyes slightly, and then opened them again.

"Come on, Chloe, it's time for us to start a new day."

She put her hand out in front of Chloe.

"Ah."

Chloe didn't refuse, she reached out and held the other's hand.

Pulling the opponent up from the ground, Arturia estimated that it was time for everyone to wake up.

She tugged at her clothes and walked back slowly, only to realize that Chloe hadn't followed, so she looked back.

"Still leaving, Chloe?"

"Um, ah."

Seeing the startled look on the other person's face, Artoria was only slightly puzzled, she wouldn't be curious about other people's privacy.

"Then I'll go back first, if you want to stay here."

After speaking, at some point, a heroic spirit who didn't know how to be considerate of others left here quickly.

Seeing the back of Artoria going away, Chloe felt complicated. She really hated humans, but she couldn't deny that when she was treated like a slave, some humans were really good to her. He never discriminated against her, and even secretly gave her something to eat, but Chloe just couldn't get over a hurdle in her heart, and she just felt a little uncomfortable.

【Master Olika...what should I do...】

Chloe walked back with her head down. In her head, two thoughts were constantly fighting.

As soon as Artoria walked to her wooden house, Alicia was already fully armed, standing there waiting for her.

"Artoria..."

Seeing a certain Heroic Spirit approaching, Alicia hurriedly moved forward a little anxiously.

"What is it, Alicia?"

"My sister Prim suddenly felt very hot this morning, and then I touched her body, her skin was very hot, what's wrong, Liya?"

Seeing Alicia who was in a hurry and looking extremely flustered, Arturia thought for a while, and then she suddenly understood and said:

"It's probably because of eating the meat of that dragon-shaped monster."

"The beast meat contains a small amount of dragon's blood. Eating it can change a person's system. You didn't respond because your physique is good enough. The transformation of dragon's blood doesn't have that much effect on you."

"Because Prim is a princess, her physique is not that good, so the transformation is a bit loud. Now your sister is just changing her physique, Alicia."

Reassuring Alicia, Arturia patted her head lightly

"Don't worry, everything depends on me."

"Um…"

Seeing Alicia's complexion improved, Arturia nodded

"I'm going to prepare some ingredients first."

"Is there not enough food?"

"Originally, it was enough, but after eating the meat of that monster, it is estimated that the food is not enough."

Arturia suddenly looked at Alicia very seriously, scaring her into thinking that she was going to say something important

"Hunger is the enemy!"

Alicia: ...

--------------------------------------------

Arturia, who ate a whole monster again, took away four monsters the size of a small mountain, and walked back satisfied.

At this time, Alicia was training a group of female soldiers. When she saw a certain hero come back, she nodded to her.

"Everyone, continue to swing the sword 100 times."

"Yes!" ×n

"I caught four monsters that were about the same size as the dragon-shaped monster last night."

Hearing Artoria's answer, Alicia frowned slightly

"Aren't there too many monsters? Just one is enough."

She didn't see a strange expression on the face of a heroic spirit.

"…actually"

"?"

"Those are for myself."

A moment of embarrassment.

"…yes?"

For the first time, Alicia felt that her tongue was not enough.

Fortunately, this awkward atmosphere was quickly broken.

"Sister Alicia! Liya!"

Prim, who has regained her spirits (it can be seen how long a heroic spirit has eaten meat), ran over from the path, her face was full of excitement.

"When are we going to the Third Fortress?"

Seeing the younger sister running over, Alicia couldn't help laughing.

"Be careful, Prim."

But Prim, who was very excited now, didn't pay attention to Alicia's words, and she still ran towards the two quickly.

"when to go?"

Watched by those expectant eyes, Arturia and Alicia looked at each other.

"We don't have the tools to go to the third fortress, and I have to train a group of female soldiers."

Although a little unbearable, Alicia still rejected her sister's request.

"..."

Seeing Prim's disappointed look, Arturia thought for a while and rubbed the other's head.

"I'll take you there."

"...Liya, how are you going to go?"

Not seeing Prim's stunned look, Alicia thought about it, but still didn't know the method of a certain Heroic Spirit.

"It's very simple."

Arturia decisively summoned her own mount - a strong white horse.

"This is my partner Don Stallion, a fine steed."

Alicia and Prim were at a loss for words as they looked at the tall horse in blue satin and a well-made saddle.

"As a horse that is also a heroic spirit, it can run in the sky, and it is fast and stable."

Arturia touched the horse, and rubbed it lightly, and the other rubbed her back happily.

"Okay, come up, Prim, I'll take you to the third fortress."

Artoria got on the horse and reached out to Prim.

Looking at the white and strong hand in front of her, and the heroic spirit hiding in the sun smiling at her, she seemed to see the knight on the white horse who had just rescued her and extended a helping hand to her in a daze.

"Ah."

She held out her hand again.

"We're leaving. I think we'll be back in the evening. I'm sorry to trouble you during this time, Alicia."

Holding Prim in her arms, Artoria put her helmet back on, and looked straight at Alicia through the hole on the handsome and mighty lion helmet.

"Well, be careful on the road, Liya."

"I will."

Arturia pulled the rein lightly, and the horse under her began to gallop. As soon as she exerted her strength, it ran towards the sky, galloping fast in the sky.

Seeing a heroic spirit leave on a horse, Alicia still felt a little dazed

"It turns out that you can really go to heaven..."

She muttered to herself, and went back to drill the soldiers.
