Artoria wants to read people's hearts

but.........

That warm feeling, as if soaking in a hot spring, is definitely not deceiving.

I feel happy, but......

"Nah--" Her small hands tugged at Asuna's clothes, "--touch your head, I want to touch your head too."

It looks very happy, so I also want to join in, the immature mind of the child is very obvious at this moment.

Because of this move by the other party, the two of them lowered their heads at the same time, and their eyes moved to that exceptionally cute little girl.

After realizing that she had attracted the attention of the two big sisters, the little girl's mouth curled up, her eyes curved, and she showed a big and bright smile at the two girls.

It's as if the south wind is blowing, bringing the smile of spring out of the country of water.

Just kidding, who wouldn't like such a cutie? (*/?＼*)

Even our brave and handsome knight king couldn't help but soften his heart when he saw this.

So, raising her hand, Arturia gently placed her palm on the top of the other's head and rubbed it.

It is said to be 'kneading', but in fact it is more appropriate to use the word 'rolling'.

How should I say it?

The little guy's hair is pitch black, as black and bright as a crow's wings, and it feels very good to the touch, as soft as willow silk and as smooth as silk.

Children's hearts are easily satisfied. They are happy when they are happy, and sad when they are sad.

Slightly raising her head, she stared at Artoria's green eyes, and then gave her a big, soft smile.

The child's big black and white eyes, clear and flawless, and his unreserved trust made Asuna couldn't help but love it even more.

Crouching down, she hugged the child in her arms, and then rubbed her cheek against the little girl's cheek.

"Hey, can I tell my sister?"

Asuna lowered her voice to the softest level, as if if she raised her voice a little bit, she might scare the other party.

"Can you tell us what your name is?"

"my name........."

As if this question was beyond the outline, she was taken aback for a moment, and then she couldn't help falling into silence.

Frowning and thinking hard for a moment, the little girl suddenly said "Ah!", apparently remembering her own name.

"Yu.....Yi..., my name is Yui."

Although she felt a little strange about her state, Asuna still showed a very gentle smile, "So it's Yui, that's really a good name."

"I'm Asuna, and this person is Artoria Pendragon."

After she introduced herself to Yui, she saw the little girl tilt her head in confusion.

"Yassner? Alto... Tor..."

Yui "told" for a long time, but did not say the following words.

This was indeed embarrassing for her, so Asuna just smiled and changed the subject.

"Hey, Xiao Yui, why are you being chased by them in the woods?"

As soon as this question came out, the little girl's cute face couldn't help becoming a little frightened.

But even so, she opened her mouth, still suppressing her uneasiness, and told the cause and effect of the incident.

Chapter 22 The record player is jammed (two-in-one)

Just an hour ago, Yui woke up alone in the woods.

She didn't know where she was going, nor where she came from.

The little girl just walked aimlessly like this, walking, as if she had a belief in her heart, which has been urging her to keep moving forward.

At this moment, suddenly, as if Arturia had discovered the clue, she also heard a voice coming from the other side of the forest.

Instinctively, the little guy walked towards someone.

but..........

"—those bad guys, they've been bullying a big brother."

Frowning, she curled her mouth as if she was about to cry.

"They..., they..."

She repeated these two words several times, and added accents, expressing that she was very impressed.

"...They left a lot of wounds on that brother with weapons, and they also scolded that brother, and then—"

And then what?

Yui gave them the answer, "—and then that brother turned into light and disappeared with a bang."

Although the child's words were not perfectly expressed, Artoria and Asuna both imagined the scene from the other's words.

How painful it must be......

So many members of [Smiling Coffin] besieged him, but he could only listen to the laughter and insults coming from his ears, and watched his HP in the panel slowly decrease...

This kind of thing makes me feel very hopeless and sad when I think about it.

Arturia pursed her lips tightly, she held the hilt of the long sword tightly in her hand, and her emerald eyes were even more obscure.

Maybe it shouldn't be......

What shouldn't it be?

Taking a deep breath, the blond king raised his head, then turned to look at the last survivor who had collapsed to the side and had passed out.

After taking two steps back, she drew out her long sword again with a "shua!"

In Asuna's puzzled eyes, her expression was cold, like the moonlight out of reach.

"...Asuna, I regret it." The king called the girl's name, "Life is a precious thing, but some people can easily trample on it. This kind of thing is absolutely unforgivable .”

"It's an irreversible downhill road, because evil thoughts inevitably lead to evil actions."

"The acme of all evil is a crime without a motive—" Artoria said, pointing her sword at the 'lucky one', "and it is obvious that they are such people , so these guys don't deserve anyone's forgiveness."

"Asuna, please forgive my arrogance." The blond girl curled her lips coldly, but there was no smile in her eyes, "A murderer should have the awareness to be killed by others."

"It may not be right, but it's definitely not wrong either."

This is the king's decision, the king's deed, and the consequences will also be borne by the king.

The footprints will be old, but the dream is still going, the sun is still far away, but there will be.

"So..." she said, and walked to the man's side, "Asuna, please don't stop me."

She may be a knight, but most of all, she is an immortal king.

It is not a pity for such a poor and vicious person to die, but when the king is furious, someone must pay a painful price.

Seeing the girl's unquestionable eyes, Asuna fell silent, turned her head, and covered Yui's eyes with her hands.

Although she didn't speak, her attitude was obviously tacit approval.

After seeing that the girl was ready, Artoria nodded unobtrusively.

Turning her head, she raised the long sword in her hand, and then swung it down suddenly.

With a sound like broken glass, that dark and dirty person turned into shards of light.

It's really ironic, maybe like this, it can be regarded as embracing his own little light left in a different way?

This thing has come to an end.

Arturia put the sword back into the scabbard, then walked up to Yui and squatted down.

Compared with the icy coldness when she killed the villain just now, her expression at this time is extraordinarily gentle.

The little girl didn't know what happened just now, but her eyes were covered for less than five seconds, and she was able to see things again.

"Xiao Yui." Arturia reached out and touched the top of the other's hair, "Shall we go find your parents now?"

"...Dad? Mom?"

Blinking her eyes helplessly, confusion appeared on the little girl's face.

"Yes, go find your parents." Artoria paused, then continued to speak softly, "So, Xiao Yui, can you tell us where your parents are?"

As if the record player was stuck, the little girl grabbed the white dress on her body with her hands. She tried hard to remember, but she couldn't remember it.

"I don't know..." Shaking his head, Yui said to the two sisters in front of him in frustration, "I'm sorry, I don't know anything, I can't remember at all."

"how come......."

Asuna frowned slightly, there was obviously something wrong with Yui's appearance.

As she thought about it, a trace of worry flashed in her heart.

Turning her head, she looked in Artoria's direction, wanting to seek her help.

but.........

Arturia shook her head helplessly at her, expressing that there was nothing she could do at the moment.

Even if she is as powerful as King Arthur, she can't cure amnesia.

Not to mention........

This is not a body in the real world at all, but a game character completely controlled by the mind.

It seemed that this little girl was going to be by his and Asuna's side in a short time before finding the relatives of the other party.

This is not a big deal, after all, it is not the first time that Artoria is raising a child.

Although..........

Mordred was a bit older, but in terms of real age, he might be about the same age as this little girl.

"Alto...to...?"

Just when she was in a daze, Yui stretched out his hand and tugged at her sleeve, with a disturbed expression on his face.

The child made such an expression, how could anyone have the heart to let her go.

"Sure enough, this name is too difficult for you."

Arturia chuckled, "Then, how about calling me Liya?"

"If you can, call me Liya."

It was a long time since this title came out of her mouth, and she couldn't help but bring back some memories in her mind.

..........I don't know how Mikoto and the others are doing now?

I wanted to say that the other party could call her "Al", but......

Sure enough, it still doesn't work.

This title is in her heart, and only that one person can use it on herself.

That is a woman who amazed the king's time and tendered the king's time.

She couldn't help but miss the existence of Guinevere.

Sighing softly, Arturia pulled back her messy thoughts and let her focus on Yui again.

"Lea... ya?"

Perhaps because of the simple pronunciation, she pronounced the abbreviation easily this time.

Although it is a little jerky, it must be able to remember after reading it twice.

"That's right, it's Liya."

Arturia looked at the obedient little girl in front of her, with a gentle smile in her eyes.

Yui nodded half-understanding, and then dimly shifted his gaze to the flaxen-colored long-haired girl.

Facing the little guy's big watery eyes, Asuna's heart softened immediately, and she quickly said seamlessly, "If Xiao Yui finds my sister's name difficult to pronounce, you can call me any other name."

When she said this, the aunt's smile on the corner of her mouth was so standard that it was terrifying.
