Artoria wants to read people's hearts

but...........

Thinking of fruit, she couldn't help but pause while eating bread, and her dry, flat little lion wallet popped out of her mind.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she suddenly felt that the slice of bread in her hand was not fragrant.

What to do, I suddenly feel like I am more pitiful than Misaka Mikoto.

The dumb hair on her head bent, she stared blankly at the half-eaten slice of bread in her hand, a thought suddenly popped up in her mind.

Maybe......, should I ask Mikoto for some money?

I am a follower, and the other party is the master. According to the general logic, the other party has to take care of my own food and shelter.

After a moment of silence, Arturia finally sighed softly, and then let go of the thought in her heart.

It is a natural truth to pay for labor and get paid, and even the "King" is no exception to this point.

It is shameful to get something for nothing, and the dignity of King Arthur does not allow her to do so.

Forget it.

She took a hard bite of the bread, she should work honestly to make money, since she won't die of hunger anyway.

Just as she was struggling to eat the slices of bread, suddenly, there was a "dong dong" knock on the door.

Who would be looking for her this early in the morning?

Arturia's eyes narrowed slightly, she turned her head to look at the door of her room, doubts arose in her heart.

After eating the bread in her hand in two or three bites, she drank a glass of tap water before standing up and opening the door.

"Pendragon, you are so slow."

Standing at the door was the girl whom I met just two days ago. She flicked the flashlight, and then tapped Arlia's chest with her finger.

"If you come one step later, I will teleport myself directly into your room, believe it or not?"

Jiebiao Danxi raised her eyebrows, and said words that seemed to be threatening, but not threatening.

"Sorry, not next time."

He admitted his mistake very simply, Arturia said while turning sideways to invite the girl.

"Miss Jiebiao, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

The other party is not an enemy, and she has no hostility on her body, and she is a lady I have known before and has a crush on......

So even if there is an incident with Accelerator between them, it is still very natural for the two of them to get along.

"Although I really want to go in and have a look, but today is not a good time."

Shaking her head, Jiebiao Danxi shrugged her shoulders at Artoria with some regrets, "Let's talk about it next time, but I still have business to do."

...Business?

Could it be that the chairman is looking for me again?

She looked at the red-haired girl, and such thoughts quickly passed through her mind.

That's what she thought, and that's what she asked.

Sure enough, Miss Jiebiao nodded to her, affirming her.

It's really... annoying.

Originally, she was a little depressed because of the wallet, but now Arturia's mood has become even worse.

In her heart, the chairman of the board has long since become a troublemaker, synonymous with the invincible villain of the universe.

It is said that the best plan for a day lies in the morning, so if she went to meet such an annoying person early in the morning, anyone would feel unhappy.

but............

Sighing slightly, she finally reluctantly agreed to the other party's appointment.

After all, she does have some questions that she wants to ask the other party, such as sister Misaka, such as Accelerator......

And there is one more thing she cares about.

That is, since the other party was able to rescue the dying white-haired boy so quickly and in time, does that mean that, in fact, the chairman has been monitoring the development of the entire battle situation from the very beginning?

If this is the case, it may also mean that his identity as King Arthur has been exposed.

In fact, she has also been thinking these days, if the director really knows her identity as King Arthur, maybe it won't be long before she will meet the white-haired man hanging upside down again.

With all the calculations, it has only been four days.

Everything was as she had thought before, Yubia Danxi came to her residence and conveyed the invitation from the chairman to herself.

The weather outside was a bit gloomy, Arturia squinted her eyes, and looked back at the girl.

"I see, but please wait for a few minutes."

She pointed to the plate on her table, and then pointed to the slippers on her feet, "Let me clean it up, it will be ready soon."

"No problem." Jiebiao Danxi waved her hand very generously, "Then you clean up, I'll wait for you at the door."

This task was much simpler than she had imagined before, which made her feel a little relieved.

In fact, at the beginning, she originally thought that Artoria might refuse to see the chairman, after all, this is not impossible, is it?

After experiencing the darkness of Academy City, it is very normal not to want to see people you hate and hate.

So for Artoria's attitude to be so cooperative today, it is not a surprise for Jiebiao Danxi.

Just a saucer and a cup of water, and it didn't take long to wash them and change shoes.

Before leaving, she took out her terminal, called the owner of the restaurant, and told him that she couldn't make it today and had to ask for a day off.

After everything was cleaned up, Arturia locked her door, then turned around and nodded to Yubiao Danxi, "Okay, let's go."

"OK."

Jiebiao Danxi made an OK gesture to her, flicked the flashlight in her hand casually, and felt a blur in front of her eyes, and the scene in front of her suddenly came from the door of her room to the windowless building.

In the dimly lit room, looking around, all you can see are densely packed mechanical transportation pipes, and in the middle of the room, the chairman in green surgical clothes is still suspended on a body made of tempered glass. , in a mechanical device filled with red liquid.

The long eyelashes slightly retracted those gorgeous eyes, and the hands hanging by the sides subconsciously tapped the outside of his thighs, and golden particles were faintly visible in the palms.

He looked up at the director not far away.She let out a sigh from the bottom of her heart.

—— Sure enough, no matter how many times I come to this kind of place, I can't get used to it.

"It's been a long time, Artoria Pendragon."

They couldn't tell the difference between men and women, and there were even some mechanical voices mixed in. Aleister Crowley, the general director of Academy City, broke the atmosphere of silence between the two of them first.

"Please forgive my rudeness, or maybe it would be better for me to address you as His Majesty King Arthur?"

"Anything."

Artoria raised her eyebrows, and said in a clear voice, "Whether it's Artoria or Arthur, these titles ultimately refer to me, not to mention, I'm not the kind of king who pays attention to red tape."

"In that case, please allow me to call you King Arthur."

Aleister quickly finalized the address for the girl. After all, there is really no need to waste time on this. It is more appropriate to call the girl King Arthur than to call her by her name directly.

Giving respect to the other party may be more conducive to the next negotiation.

"Although I understand that legends are always exaggerated." He paused and said the most interesting thing, "But I never thought that the famous King Arthur was actually a girl."

The girl looked at the other party quietly, and didn't feel offended. If she got angry because of this kind of thing, she would have been pissed off.

In addition, the legend is spread like this, and King Arthur's male identity has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If you think about it in another way, in this era, the fact that "King Arthur is a little girl" has broken the world view of normal people.

"Concealing my gender to become king is not my original intention." The red blurred light fell in her eyes, and the girl looked at the person hanging upside down not far away. Those blue eyes were so transparent and quiet that they could not tolerate anyone. tarnish.

"This is the limitation of the times, and it is not a fact that I, who was young and immature at the time, can change."

It is true that King Arthur would not have been able to sit on the throne from the beginning if his true gender had been revealed as a woman from the beginning.

"What you said is right." He agreed with Artoria's words, "The limitations of the times will exist no matter when and where, even now, this world also has its own limitations."

"so........."

The director, who is both male and female, adult and child, saint and prisoner, spoke shocking words in a smooth, unwavering voice, "In order to break through the limitations, the world needs a Big change."

There was a sudden suffocation of breathing.

After hearing these words, Artoria's eyes wandered to him, and she stared at him for a long time.

Under Ruoyouwuwu's gaze, Artoria suddenly felt a dark cloud all over the sky press down heavily.

In an instant, she understood everything.

She was obviously only a thin young man, but the scene reflected in her eyes at this moment was extremely terrifying.

The unintentional ruler, absorbing human life as nourishment, blooms rotten flowers in the shimmering mechanical device, and sits on top of the dead bones with radiance.

It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, although the other party's eyes are closed, so Artoria cannot peek into his soul.

But according to what he just said.And combined with what the other party did before.

She already had a relatively clear understanding of the chairman named Aleister.

This guy seems to have a burning flame in his heart. In silence and darkness, he wants to burn through reality and remake the order of this world.

It's almost like a thought prisoner defined by modern society.

Aleister and Artoria, one is for the purpose and can abandon everything at all costs, while the other wants to protect everything and protect everything.

There are some similarities between the two people, but there are qualitative differences in their code of conduct.

"King Arthur, let's talk about the follow-up of the Absolutely Capable Project and Accelerator."

He changed the topic, and it seemed that he had no intention of discussing the change in depth.

"Presumably for you, these should be the things you are most concerned about at the moment."

"Ah, that's right."

With a chuckle, Artoria lowered her eyelashes, "I guess you might use this as a breakthrough."

"Okay." The last king from the fragments of the Age of Gods looked back in time, "Aleister, let's have a good talk."

In the chairman's silence, Artoria smiled suddenly, staring at him with clear and bright eyes.

"You should know my bottom line." In the green eyes, there is only deep love for the world, and there is absolutely no hatred.

"You saved Accelerator's life, I barely understand."

"But——" she paused, her voice slowed down like smoke, "Can you explain to me why the remaining 1 Misaka sisters are scattered by you and distributed to various parts of the world? ?”

"Before explaining to me, I would like to advise you." At this point, Arturia's eyes became sharper, "Please give me a reasonable explanation, and don't use that kind of reason to deceive children to prevaricate to me."

"After all..." Aleister's figure was superimposed in those eyes, burning in a clearness, "...I am King Arthur."

As soon as the words were spoken, in the darkness behind the mechanical device where Aleister was located, something seemed to bloom, and an extremely strong coercion leaked a trace of breath, which was taken back in an instant.

The lunatic, pretending to be a normal person, was dormant in the dark place before the sun, silent, and for just that second, he quietly showed a biting threat to the king.

At this moment, Artoria raised her vigilance against the chairman to the highest level.
