Artoria wants to read people's hearts

It's kind of embarrassing.

"But, but—" Yuuki seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and she asked the point of the question, "Isn't Pendragon an NPC? How can an NPC go to clear the game? And she also joined the player's In the team?!"

But for her question, the blond king answered in this way.

"Yuki, I've never admitted that I'm an NPC."

Arturia spoke in a very flat tone, which made people uncomfortable, "Didn't I already tell you?"

She sighed, "My name is Arturia Pendragon, but I am also called Arthur Pendragon by the world."

"I am the king of Britain. I once ruled Britain as a man." Even when she was sitting, the girl did not relax at all. She straightened her back and said with the most perfect posture, "This may sound very strange to your ears." It's ridiculous, but it's an absolutely indisputable fact."

"I remember I once gave you a popular science about the concept of heroic spirits." She paused, and then said it again, "The hero's great achievements are passed down after death, and finally he was promoted to the seat of heroic spirits because of his unforgetable faith and became a heroic spirit .”

She repeated these words not only to remind Yuuki, but also to explain to Asuna who was beside her.

Because these Asuna didn't know.

Arturia didn't stop after saying these words, but continued to talk about the reason for her existence here.

"Because the belief that more than 1 players want to survive is too strong, and this belief awakened me from my slumber, and pulled me into this world to sign a contract with the collective consciousness of the players to liberate the players."

"Group consciousness?"

Asuna frowned slightly when she heard this. In her memory of the past six months, she didn't seem to have heard of this thing at all.

"Yes, group consciousness." Arturia smiled and explained its existence to the two little girls.

"All in all," she said, "it is because of this contract with the collective consciousness that my existence in this world can continue."

As if remembering something, she sighed softly, the voice was as soft as a hallucination.

"I should have disappeared at that time, after all, my mission had been completed at that time."

"but........."

"It helped me." The girl's sandy golden hair was glowing with golden luster under the light, "Although I don't know exactly how it was done, but at the last moment, it connected me with the core system of the game. Together."

"Asuna, do you still remember what I said to you?" She turned her gaze to the girl, "The sword of the vowed victory is the anchor, even if it is just a concept, it doesn't matter, as long as you can find it, then I to wake up again."

Arturia stared at the girl with water-blue long hair for a moment, and when she saw that the tips of her ears were turning red, she lowered her eyes.

"However, the very wrong thing is—" She smiled helplessly, "I originally thought that you would be the one who found the sword of the vowed victory, but I didn't expect Yuuki and the others to find it in advance."

"Sorry..." Asuna turned her gaze guiltily, and then explained the reason softly, "...I wasted a little time because of some real things."

"There is no need to apologize." Arturia's expression was very calm, "This was an accident, and this accident is not a bad thing, because I also got to know Yuuki and Yuri because of this, right?"

Arturia's eyes were clear, and the smile on her face was like the sun.

"I think," she said, "it's my luck."

Chapter 55 The Sudden Disappearance of Two Sisters (Two in One)

Arturia was talking, and then changed the topic from the past to the present.

"I can stand here now because I signed a new contract with Yuuki."

Her eyes are clear and stern, looking like a forest illuminated by the moonlight, "With the three strokes of the command spell on the right hand as a witness, she is the master and I am the servant."

She paused at this point, and then turned her head to explain to Asuna what a servant contract is.

At the end of this conversation, Artoria pointed to the red notch on the other's right hand.

"Yuki, please remember."

She once again solemnly emphasized the importance of the command spells, "As long as it is still on the back of your hand, you can order me to do anything, but once you use up these three command spells, it means our The contract is over."

The conversation between the three of them ended here, and the reason it ended was because the sky outside had already darkened.

The dark night is like ink sprinkled by a painter, and a few bright stars hang on the canvas to embellish this bright night.

Asuna said helplessly that she was going to log off, because if she didn't log off, her parents would be angry because she played the game for too long.

After she became friends with Yuuki, and made an appointment with them on the time and place to meet tomorrow, the girl directly logged out, turned into a blue light and disappeared in place.

An hour after saying goodbye to Asuna, Yuri finally returned to their hut from the outside.

"Oh? This kind of thing happened??"

The silver-haired girl opened her eyes wide, feeling numb all over.

She didn't understand at all that she just went out to do some errands, why her three views were broken and reorganized after she came back?

"...Are you really the legendary King Arthur?"

She turned her head to ask Arturia for confirmation, and got a positive answer from the blonde girl.

"This is a fact, and I have absolutely no deceit."

After hearing this sentence, she subconsciously opened her mouth to say something, but finally found that she seemed unable to say anything.

It just... feels outrageous.

However, what is even more outrageous is that such an outrageous thing is actually a reality.

She subconsciously took two steps back, then walked unsteadily beside the chair and sat down, falling into a state of thinking about life.

Youli originally thought that she lived in a world where science is paramount, but today she was suddenly informed by her sister and friends that this world is still a fantasy background......

How should I put it, I was so shocked that I felt a strange sense of calm now.

'So. Youli couldn't help thinking about it, "King Arthur has appeared, will there really be magical girls in this world?" '

She suddenly wanted to know about it, but in the end she didn't have the nerve to ask.

"All in all." She took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly, "I already understand that Pendragon is a heroic spirit, but it doesn't seem to have much impact on our daily life Bar."

After all, the Command Spell is only to force Pendragon to do something, presumably even if it is used, it is estimated that it can only make the blonde girl do what she can.

And what happens in this game world, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to affect the real world.

After all, breaking the dimensional wall is really unrealistic.

"We are friends, no matter you are an NPC, a heroic spirit, or some other identity, it is a fact that cannot be changed, isn't it?"

"Second." The blond girl nodded solemnly, with a lingering smile in her eyes.

"We are friends." She repeated what Youli said, and her eyes swept over the two sisters one by one.

"So it's definitely my luck to meet you here in this way."

Time always flies by.

It is like a gust of wind that will never stop, and the sun and the moon cycle day after day, blowing emotionally to every corner of the world.

Ten days had passed since that day, and Asuna and the twin sisters became friends who talked about everything.

Yuuki happily discussed swordsmanship with Asuna every day, and both of them were improving their swordsmanship at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But Yuri leaves early and returns late during this time.

Whenever they asked what the young girl was doing, she would keep her mouth shut, and when she was in a hurry, she would just show a mysterious smile, and then evade it vaguely.

But on the ninth day, she finally answered the matter to them with a happy face.

"I formed a guild, and the guild's name is [Sleeping Knight]." Faced with the same confused expressions of the three, she smiled happily as if she had succeeded in a prank.

"So to sum it up!" Youli waved her small hand in high spirits, "I will also be called the president in the future."

Hold your chest high, proudly akimbo.

Perhaps because of her emotional excitement, she is a little different from the gentleness she showed before.

However.......nobody cares about that.

Because it looked like she was glowing at the moment.

This alone is enough.

Yuuki also joined in later, but when Asuna wanted to join the [Sleeping Knight], they were rejected by both of them at the same time.

No matter how she asked why, the answer she got was "You are not suitable for our guild."

This feeling that you don't want to play with me has made Asuna feel depressed for a long time.

But what else?

The other party may have some last resort.

She comforted herself like this, and finally looked away from this matter.

In these ten days, if we want to talk about the most important news, then it is about the resurrection of Xiao Yui.

Asuna took out the blue water drop tentatively at first, but she didn't expect that this could really wake up Yui.

However, the little guy's stature has become much smaller, and his height is even less than the length of a finger.

it's fine.

Because whether it is Yui himself, or Arturia and Asuna, they all think that as long as Yui can be resurrected, it is considered a very lucky thing.

Everything is developing in an orderly manner.

There may be some noise occasionally, but more often there are laughter and laughter.

Time passed so smoothly until January 2024, 1.

On this day, the peaceful life was broken.

The two sisters disappeared for three whole days, and they hadn't logged into the game during these three days, and this was just a very strange thing.

She has been by their side all the time, so Arturia knows better than anyone that these two girls are almost going to live in the game before.

Although she didn't know the specific reason why they did this, but as a knight, she was considerate and didn't ask too much.

But it was precisely because she knew this that she keenly felt how strange it was that the two of them hadn't been online for three days.

Could it be that... something happened in the real world?

Arturia frowned, and there was unresolved worry in her green eyes.

In fact, it is normal for gamers not to go online for many days, so Asuna didn't feel anything wrong at first.

but........

Seeing the blond girl frowning, she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

"Asuna." She called out the other party's name, then turned her head and looked over, "I'm always a little worried, is there any way you can contact the two of them in the real world?"

Contact Yuuki and Yuri in the real world?

Asuna pursed her lips tightly, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.

Although she is the daughter of the CEO of the company behind this game, this identity sounds very glamorous, but in fact, for the sake of her father and other people in the company, there are some things that she must pay special attention to even if she doesn't want to.

Just adding a prop on the sidelines like before, this kind of thing actually has no impact on the company.

But if he said that he didn't have any reason, but only asked the employees to retrieve the player files out of subjective consciousness, once this kind of thing was leaked, it would definitely have a very negative impact on the company's reputation.

She shouldn't have said yes, but...

Looking up at Artoria who was quietly waiting for her answer, she finally let out a sigh from the corner of her mouth, and then nodded.

"I see." Although Asuna's expression was helpless, there was a touch of determination in it, "I'll try it after I get offline, but...it will take a little time."

Raising her eyebrows in surprise, she blinked and looked at the other person's face.

In fact, Arturia just asked casually before, and she didn't have any hope for this, but she didn't expect that the other party would actually have a solution.

but.......

With her excellent dynamic vision, she didn't miss the embarrassed expression on the opponent's face.

'I see. A gleam of clarity emerged in her heart, "It seems that although Asuna was able to contact Yuuki and the others, she would have to pay a considerable price in the end. '

Thinking of this, she made her own decision.

"No, don't worry about it for the time being." Artoria shook her head, then raised her hand to gently stroke the top of the girl's hair, "Through the contract, I can feel that Yuuki's life is not in danger, presumably the two of them should It must have been delayed by something in the real world."

This is a reasonable guess, no matter in which aspect, Asuna couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"And—" Arturia raised her hand to greet Xiao Yuyi who was eating biscuits at the dining table, and after waiting for the little guy to fly over with a confused face, she said softly, "——Looking for clues on the Internet This kind of thing, Xiao Yuyi is much more professional than the two of us."

"What? Sister Liya, what are you talking about?" Xiao Yui in a white skirt flew around the two of them, and then sat gently on Asuna's shoulder.
