Artoria wants to read people's hearts

"It's very rude to let you sit by the side just to wait for me."

"Plus..." Yuri's purple eyes rolled around, "...I won't have any problems in the game, so you should go back and find Yuuki first." .”

This is what the girl said, how could Arturia, who is a knight, embarrass her?

So of course, Miss Youli and her friends entered the tavern happily, while His Majesty King Arthur stood alone on the curb and began to think about life.

So......, what Yuli and those players are going to say next is something that I can't hear?

This is a reasonable guess, but thinking of this, she stopped thinking about it.

After all, if a lady wants to hide something, then no matter what, she should not continue to dig deeper at this moment.

Withdrawing her curiosity, Artoria chose to follow Yuri's suggestion and go back to 'play' with Yuuki.

Because of her inability to fly, Arturia's journey in this game is quite strenuous.

She can only choose to run on the ground, or use the teleportation array to move at different levels.

However, she has excellent mobility and strong physical fitness, coupled with the blessing of magic power and the hammer of the wind king, so sometimes she may be much faster than those fairies flying in the sky.

The straight line between two points is the shortest, and Arturia is confident and not at all afraid of the complex terrain she faces.

She did not take the usual path all the way, and after reaching the third floor of No.20 through the teleportation array, she ran under the huge spruce tree.

The sound of weapons colliding came from her ears, and she subconsciously turned her head to look in that direction.

However, in the next second, Arturia's pupils shrank suddenly.

With her abnormal dynamic eyesight, she could clearly see the face of the girl who was fighting Yuuki at a glance.

Even though the color of her eyes and hair were different from before, Arturia still recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

"Asuna!"

She opened her eyes wide, and subconsciously raised her voice, and this voice was also transmitted to Asuna's ears along with the sound of the wind.

The sword move that was originally smooth was suddenly stopped, but Yuuki seized this flaw at this moment, and without the slightest hesitation, directly used her strongest eleven-strike combo.

One wrong step, one wrong step, let alone in such a high-intensity battle?

What's more, Asuna's mind at this moment has already moved from the duel to other places.

Her figure was knocked flying by Yuuki and fell to the ground, she spun several times on the ground before barely stopping.

When she stood up again, there was already a big [YOU LOST] on top of her head.

But she didn't care about it.

Without even standing still, Asuna turned her head and anxiously looked for the person who just called her [Asuna].

When the eyes of the two met, she froze like a log in an instant.

Because right in the crowd, she saw her blonde girl.

At this moment, she was walking towards herself against the light.

Chapter 54 I am lucky to know you (two in one)

In their own small house, Yuuki crossed her arms and looked suspicious.

She looked at the water fairy with aqua blue hair on the left, and at the blond girl Knight King on the right.

In the end, he stretched out his hand and scratched his head in bewilderment.

"That—" she said to Asuna, "—your name is Asuna, right?"

"Yes." To this question, the girl said warmly with a smile, "My game ID is Asuna, that's right."

I see..........

Nodding her head, Yuuki asked again, "So, did you know each other before?"

"Well, we've known each other for a long time."

This time it was Arturia who answered, the girl's emerald green eyes like a forest were full of happiness, and she didn't hide the matter at all in her words.

And why hide it?

At this moment, King Arthur didn't know how happy he was.

"......Excuse me, Miss Asuna, you should be a player, right?"

Yuuki's voice was full of hesitation, and she just felt that her thoughts were a little confused at the moment.

"Of course I'm a player."

Nodding her head, Asuna's smile is still very gentle now.

"It's really weird—"

Raising her hand and rubbing her aching head, the purple-haired girl said with a broken expression.

"—You are obviously a game player, and Pendragon is an NPC. The game "The Kingdom of Fairies" has only been released for three months, and Miss Asuna, you have only entered the game for the first day, so the two of you How did you know each other a year ago?!"

Where is the problem?

Is mine crazy, or are you crazy?

She really couldn't figure it out, her heart was tossing up and down, and the countless questions were like burning ropes, constantly beating her reason.

Regarding the question she asked just now, after turning her head and looking at Pendragon, Asuna already knew how to answer it next.

"Miss Yuuki, may I call you Yuuki directly?"

"Ah, of course."

Even though she was still in a daze, the purple-haired girl still nodded like a good baby.

The other party agreed that the change in address meant a closer relationship, so Asuna couldn't help but frowned and smiled.

"It's like this." She asked the girl, "I don't know if you have heard of the "SAO" incident a year ago?"

"...Of course I've heard of it." Withdrawing her hand from holding her forehead, Yuuki couldn't help frowning, "This incident shocked the whole world before."

"I also heard that after waking up, the victims were even transferred to special schools for psychological adjustment."

Nodding her head, Asuna agreed, "That's right, the information you got is accurate."

"But——" she shook her head immediately after, pointing out the key points that were not in her answer, "——what I want to ask is not this, but whether you know "SAO" What happened in those half a year, and who finally broke the whole game?"

"About these things, do you know?"

Asuna asked very clearly, but Yuuki returned her with a very confused look.

She really doesn't know much about these things, and she hasn't paid much attention to this aspect before.

Regarding the "SAO" incident, she only had a general understanding of the direction of the whole matter from those news media.

"......"

After a moment of silence, she shook her head slowly, and said with some frustration, "I'm sorry, I'm not clear about what you said."

Yuuki's answer was expected by Asuna.

After all, except for those who are particularly fanatical about the "SAO" incident, ordinary people generally have only a half-knowledge of the inside story of this incident.

So she gave a soft "hmm" with her usual complexion, and then comforted the other party, "It's okay, it's normal to not know."

"So........"

Yuuki sat back on her chair, and asked with a slightly puzzled expression, "Is there any connection between the "SAO" incident and what you are going to talk about next?"

Of course there is a relationship, and the relationship is quite big.

Asuna rubbed her chin and pondered for a moment, then she carefully considered her words and explained, "Actually, Pendragon and I met in "SAO"."

"!!!"

After hearing Asuna's words, Yuuki first constricted her pupils in disbelief, then reacted abruptly and let out a loud cry.

"Ugh?!"

Her small mouth couldn't help opening into an O shape, and Asuna's confession exploded in her mind like a thunderbolt.

"I am one of the survivors of "SAO". I was unfortunately trapped in that death game a year ago, and I didn't wake up until half a year ago."

Asuna said this with a wry smile.

"At the beginning, I also fell into depression, and even thought about whether to give up all hope and just wait for death."

This confession brought back Yuuki's mind, she looked at the girl with a slightly melancholy expression, and suddenly felt some emotional sympathy for her in her heart.

Yeah, who doesn't feel down and sad when they know they're going to die?

So she clenched her hands subconsciously, and then comforted the other party in a gentle voice, "This is indeed scary, but please don't be sad, because that nightmare is now in the past tense."

"...You're right." Nodding her head, Asuna said in a sad tone, "Everything is over."

Turning her head, she looked at Pendragon who was sitting next to her, and saw the tenderness and encouragement towards herself in the other's green eyes.

So she smiled and put the momentary sadness behind her.

She continued to tell the progress just now.

"When my level was still very weak, I was besieged by a group of wild monsters when I was leveling in the wild area. When my life was dying, it was Pendragon who suddenly appeared and saved me."

"???"

Although the doubts in her heart became more and more intense, Yuuki did not choose to interrupt the other party's words at this moment.

She sat in a chair, quietly listening to the next story.

"After that incident, Pendragon and I quickly became friends, and finally became close friends who can rely on each other's backs."

She paused at this point, and finally added with a solemn expression, "So she is a very important existence to me."

"Asuna..." Artoria's eyes showed a touch of emotion, she smiled and said in her clear voice, "...please believe me, you Being there is also very important to me.”

This sentence can't help but make Asuna turn her head around, the two of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere became warmer for a while.

"Well.........."

Seeing this, Yuuki frowned, and for some reason interrupted their staring in a very embarrassing manner.

"So what's next?" She asked as if changing the subject, "What happened next?"

"Next......."

Asuna withdrew her gaze, and her voice was a little tranced, as if caught in some long-term memory, "...Then we joined the strategy team and have been active at the forefront of the battlefield, We are doing our best to capture Aincrad."

"Wow."

Hearing this, the purple-haired girl's face was full of respect.

After all, they can still choose to stand up under the threat of death. Their spirit is definitely worthy of my admiration.

"And in the clearing group, Pendragon is the spiritual leader of everyone, you know—" Asuna's expression suddenly became proud at this point, "——Pendragon is the spiritual leader of everyone. People call it 'the savior,' and [the Golden Eternal Knight] is talking about her."

"All our trapped players firmly believe that Pendragon will be able to lead us out of the death game!"

"And at the end of the day, she really pulled it off!"

The girl's aqua-blue eyes were shining brightly, and there was a strong belief that Yuuki couldn't understand shining inside.

She was still talking.

"Pendragon successfully defeated Akihiko Kayaba with his wisdom and strength, and finally conquered the game in advance on the second floor, allowing the remaining 8000 players to be free and liberated."

This is indeed a great feat.

And after the other party reminded her, she really had a vague impression of the words [Golden Eternal Knight] in her mind.

I vaguely remember that in the interviews of the survivors by the news media, many people did mention this title.

I have to say, this is really amazing.

She turned her head to look at the shy Artoria, and couldn't believe that the person who was always by her side turned out to be such a powerful boss.

Seeing such a strange little look in her master's eyes, Artoria couldn't help coughing lightly, then raised her hand and pulled the corner of Laasuna's clothes.

All right, stop boasting.

If I boast more, my toes can dig out a three-bedroom and two-living room.

how to say.........
