Artoria wants to read people's hearts

"I think so too." Butterfly Shinobi agreed.

After drinking the last bit of tea, Arturia spoke about another matter.

"Shin, I wonder if you have heard of the Bliss Cult of the World?"

Chapter 27 dungeon mission: Eternal Bliss Cult (two in one)

"Eternal Bliss Teaching?"

Hearing this term, the girl's exquisite brows and eyes could not help but frown.

Butterfly thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head helplessly, "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of this name before."

"Yeah, I haven't heard of it."

Lowering her eyelashes, Arturia suppressed her thoughts.

"Why are you asking this? Did something happen?"

Die Die Ren's question interrupted her contemplation, raised her eyes to look at the other party, she nodded slowly, "Yes, something did happen before."

After she finished speaking, she paused, and she opened her mouth to tell Butterfly Shinobi about Oda Kirika.

"It turns out that something like this happened..." The black-haired girl looked thoughtful with emotion, "...It seems that you are very concerned about this matter .”

"Yes, I really care." There was nothing to hide, Artoria nodded and admitted directly, "I always have a bad premonition in my heart, so I am also a little worried about Miss Odagiri's recent situation. "

"What are you going to do?" Butterfly Ninja asked.

"I plan to visit her specially when I go down the mountain." The blond girl said seriously, "She once invited me as a guest, and I think it's just a good time to take this opportunity to go there and see what this Eternal Bliss Sect is. situation."

"It looks like you've made up your mind."

At this moment, the girl finally withdrew her gaze from looking at Artoria.

"Yes, I've already made my decision."

She stood up from the table, then walked to Butterfly Shinobi and sat down.

"But having said that..." Arturia tilted her head, a smile flashed in her eyes, "...I heard that you just finished a mission recently?"

"Yes, there was news about Twelve Months in Nagoya, but I didn't expect that after I rushed there, I found out that it was just an ordinary ghost."

Picking up the cup full of tea with both hands, while sipping small sips, Butterfly said vaguely.

"Really, I seriously doubt that all the Twelve Ghost Moons have gone to you."

Speaking words that seemed to be complaining or making jokes, Butterfly Shinobu also stuffed the last piece of biscuit into his mouth.

"Don't use that kind of rhetoric that will cause misunderstanding."

Shaking her head amusingly, Arturia reached out and wiped the crumbs of the biscuit off the girl's mouth.

"However, the behavior of Miss Odagiri who visited is not the task of killing ghosts, and you also happen to be on vacation now—" She smiled, and made an invitation to her Master, "—just treat it as Let's take a picnic, Shinobu, do you want to go with me?"

"..."

Looking up at the other party, the blushing girl couldn't help but chuckle.

"You..." She seemed very happy, but also seemed helpless, she nodded and said, "...Okay, Wan Shi Bliss Sect, then I will go with you this time."

Hearing the girl's words, Artoria couldn't help but frowned happily.

Here, the outing in the eyes of the two of them was decided in a brisk conversation.

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

It was just dawn in the morning, the sky was blue in the middle and light blue on both sides, it looked like a piece of blue emerald, Artoria and Butterfly Shinobu set off together at this time.

Passing through large swaths of wisteria flowers and stepping on mossy stone steps, the two left the headquarters of the Ghost Slayer Squad.

Butterfly Ninja's physical fitness is very good. Even after running for nearly half a day, he didn't feel particularly tired. I have to say that he really deserves to be the pillar-level existence of the Demon Slayer Team.

In fact, if Artoria was just an ordinary person, she might not be able to keep up with the opponent's speed at all.

But fortunately, she is not actually an ordinary person (maybe not even a human being).

The butterfly wearing a butterfly feather weaving is jumping in the forest, like a dancing butterfly.

Artoria, on the other hand, closely matched the opponent's speed, and kept moving forward at a constant speed beside her.

Because this trip has long been defined as an outing, the two of them don't feel too anxious.

Just like this, they stop and go, frolicking during the day while driving, and at night, they will rest in the hotel with wisteria patterns.

In this way, two days passed quickly.

When it was nearly two noon on the third day, they finally arrived at the place where Artoria had rescued Odagiri Kurika.

In the forest, a blond girl in a cloak and a black-haired girl in a butterfly feather weave sat facing each other.

The two of them are taking a short rest. After all, no matter how good their physical fitness is, they will feel tired from running all the time.

"How far is it?"

Butterfly looked up at the sky, then asked the blond girl beside her.

"About an hour or two."

Artoria looked into the distance, eyes so deep that Die Die could not help but feel that the other party seemed to be able to see something through the forest.

However, that expression was only fleeting, and the blond girl quickly turned her head and said to her with a smile.

"Miss Odagiri once said, 'It's not too far from here, and I'll get there in a few hours by myself', so presumably for the two of us, this journey will only take a day. Two hours."

Gently stretching out her finger and tapping her chin, the black-haired girl nodded to express her approval of this sentence.

"In that case, let's go now."

It has been about half an hour since they stopped, and Butterfly Ninja, who is familiar with the breathing method, has already adjusted her body to the best state.

"It's impolite to visit a friend too late."

She stood up and adjusted her clothes a little.

"At the very least, it would be better for us to arrive around three o'clock." The girl turned her head and glanced at Artoria, and then put her gaze on the small box beside her, "There are gifts, I really appreciate it." I hope they can be delivered to each other's hands intact."

Artoria, who seemed to have installed a Butterfly Ninja translator, understood what she meant as always and answered the other party.

"Don't worry, even if I am really hungry now, I will resist eating them."

Patting her own chest, the blond girl stood up, holding a very delicate snack box in her hand, and stood there with a serious expression and an unusually upright expression.

"Liya Express, the mission must be accomplished!"

That serious look, coupled with the gurgling sound in her stomach, really made Butterfly couldn't stop laughing.

"Yeah, I believe you."

Nodding her head, she held back a smile and followed the other person's words, "Come on, my servant is the best."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his small fist and waved it up and down to cheer her up.

Being so 'encouraged' by the lady she valued, Artoria couldn't help but puffed up her chest hard, and responded to the other party's 'expectation'.

"This is the king's promise, so please rest assured."

For the dignity of King Arthur, she solemnly promised that she would never steal any biscuits in this box.

The two of them answered seriously and coaxed gently, and they walked through this dense forest amidst laughter.

Only an hour later, when they turned over a small hill, at the edge of the dense forest, they saw a small 'village'.

The branches outside the wooden wall, the smoke from the stove on the house, and the faint human voice came into their eyes together.

There are old people, children, women of different ages, and men of different ages.

If she hadn't known for a long time that they were a group of homeless people taken in by the Bliss Cult, Artoria might really have thought that this was an ordinary village when she saw the lively scene in front of her.

But this is not the case. When they got closer, they saw more differences from other places.

They have a fairly uniform dress, the men are dark brown, and the women are reddish brown.

Of course, this doesn't mean that they don't have other clothes, it just means that there are more men and women wearing these colors at a glance.

These two strangely dressed guys like them were only noticed as soon as they entered the village.

"Wait a minute, the two ladies, please stop here."

The one who stopped them was a man with a vicissitudes of life.

Looking up at the other party, Artoria instantly judged the other party's harmlessness in her heart.

The person who stopped them was wearing an old kimono, tall and thin, with some not very thick beards planted on a thin face, because his face showed a kind of sickly paleness, the beards looked around It looks like a black forest.

The two of them just came to visit their friends, not to find fault, so they obediently stopped not far away.

Turning her head to look at Butterfly Shinobu, the moment their eyes met, Artoria understood what the other party meant.

Taking a step forward, she said politely to the other party.

"Hello, I'm sorry to disturb you, but please believe that we have no malicious intentions."

She smiled, both in expression and tone of voice were extraordinarily sincere.

"We came here this time just to visit our friends who settled here not long ago."

"Visiting friends?"

Frowning, the man asked back with a strange expression.

"I wonder if the two ladies know where this place is?"

"Yes, I know." Nodding, the girl's voice was as calm as water, "Eternal Bliss Cult, I remember my friend told me so."

"...I see. It seems that you really didn't break in by mistake."

The gray-haired man pondered for a moment, his pupils clouded by the hardships of life, "Since I'm here to visit, what's the name of the friend you're talking about?"

"Odagiri Kurika, she's a very young and beautiful brown-haired girl."

After saying the name, she saw a flash of understanding on the face of the vicissitudes of life man.

"I see, you are Odagiri's friends."

"Yes, so for your convenience, can you inform her?" Artoria said neither humble nor overbearing, "Please tell her that Artoria Pendragon is invited."

"Of course." As if believing what she said, the middle-aged man changed his seriousness just now, and showed a soft smile on his face, "Please wait a moment, we will let Odagiri come over right away."

After hearing these words from the other party's mouth, Arturia breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

That's great, because it means that the beautiful brown-haired girl has indeed settled down here, doesn't she?

The man turned his head, and said to the young boy standing aside, "Ahe, go and call Odagiri, and tell me that there is a man named Alto...To..."

He "trusted" for a long time, but in the end he didn't say the name below.

Obviously, this seemingly prestigious believer didn't remember this foreign name at all.

"Artoria Pendragon."

Arturia reminded helplessly from the side.

"Ah, yes, this is it."

As if to cover up his embarrassment, he rubbed the back of his head and laughed twice, "haha".

"Oh, I'm really sorry, maybe I've been a little too tired recently so I didn't hear you clearly."

And for the clumsy excuse he made, Artoria could only nod as if she didn't notice at all.

"Physical health is the most important thing, please rest well."

"Okay, sure, sure."

The man responded with all his mouth, then turned his head and gave another order to the young man who seemed to be at a loss.

"Ahe, tell Odagiri, there is a girl named Arturia Pendragon and..."

"My name is Butterfly Shinobu."

Seeing this, Die Die hurriedly said something.

"Yes, Butterfly Shinobi." Scratching his head, he said to the boy named Ahe in a friendly voice, "Go, don't keep the guests waiting."

"Okay, okay."
