Artoria wants to read people's hearts

But the reason given is, "The number of people who have picked up cash cards has been increasing recently, so maybe the pressure is a bit high."

Nodding, Arturia easily accepted this excuse.

After all, when the lady is in a bad mood and is unwilling to talk about the specific reasons, as a knight, all she needs to do at this moment is not to continue asking.

Chapter 10 Al: I have seen this sister before

Cash card event.

In the past few days in the seventh school district, people have been reporting that they have picked up cash cards.

Including the one submitted by Arturia today, there are as many as 78 pieces so far.

In fact, if you add those that have not been reported, maybe the actual number will be even more.

Perhaps a crime of card counterfeiting on a large scale?

Shirai Heizi once had such a guess, but it is a pity that all the cash cards handed in have been verified to be genuine, so there is no such thing as a fake card.

The amount of the card varies from as little as [-] yen to as much as more than [-] yen.

And without exception, they were all placed in inaccessible places, and they were even packed in the same envelope.

It's hard not to suspect someone is deliberately misplacing the cards.

What is the opponent's purpose?

Is it really because there is too much money, so you want to spend money to play?

If such a local tyrant really existed, Arturia couldn't help feeling that it would be great if she could help her.

But having said that, presumably she will firmly refuse when the situation comes to an end.

Just kidding, doesn't King Arthur want to lose face?

Arturia is a person who can make a fortune through her hard work! !

After that, Shirai Kuroko's attitude became normal.

"Overall, thank you very much for the information."

After asking all the information that should be asked, she stood up and expressed her gratitude to Artoria.

"No, where."

The blond girl shook her head lightly, her green eyes were as clear as frost and snow.

"I just did what I should do. Thank you for taking care of me today, I am very grateful."

—— This person is really amazing.

Shirai Heizi sighed again, but this time, her mood was much calmer than last time.

Artoria left the No. [-] Disciplinary Committee branch, and when she stood on the street again, her expression was in a daze for a moment.

By the way, what am I going to do next?

The delicate and beautiful girl's eyes froze for a moment, then she shifted her eyes slightly and looked at the girl next to her who was on the phone.

Oh yes, she remembered.

She was going to buy a terminal and had a few changes of clothes.

After confirming her destination, she reached out and pressed the black peaked cap on her head, then turned and stepped into the crowd on the street.

I can't dawdle any longer, otherwise today's rare vacation would be a waste of time.

After giving up the dark alley and taking shortcuts, she finally stood at the gate of the mall this time.

'This building is really big. '

Standing in front of the mall, Arturia looked at the six-story building in front of her in amazement.

Seventh mist - that is, the seventh mist.

According to the little girl who works with her in the restaurant, this is the busiest shopping mall in the seventh school district.

Very good, since this is the case, I will definitely be able to buy what I want.

Arturia strode forward with arrogance, and her appearance directly made her walk out of the aura of a military parade.

Entering the building, the scorching temperature suddenly became cooler.

After dissipating the magic that had been acting as an air conditioner, Artoria stood in front of a screen and looked down.

"Terminal, terminal..."

Ah, I found it. It turns out that the electrical appliance store is on the fourth floor.

Taking the elevator to the fourth floor, she was instantly dazzled by those high-tech products.

Standing there a little hesitantly for a few seconds, Artoria turned around and entered a store closest to her.

As a poor girl, I feel as if I have come to a world that does not belong to her.

"Funds are limited, and those that are too expensive will not be considered."

With a sullen face, she stood in front of the shopping guide and expressed her request.

"To be precise, is there a cheaper terminal?"

"........."

After working for such a long time, the shopping guide lady has not seen such a fresh and unaffected person for a long time.

"Of course, please come with me and let me introduce this product to you."

Obviously this little girl doesn't look like someone short of money......

It’s weird.

There were not many cheap terminals to choose from, so she didn't worry too much about it. She chose a silver basic model from among them.

Means of communication are indispensable in modern society, and several times the restaurant owner tried to contact her but couldn't.

Holding her small silver flip phone, Arturia's face showed joy.

Now, he was finally on the right track.

However.........

Just when she finished all the formalities and was about to go out.

The shopping guide lady who had been serving her all of a sudden stopped her, "My customer, please wait a moment."

"???"

Arturia turned her head in doubt, and looked at the shopping guide lady with a puzzled face.

"Speaking of which, you are really lucky as a customer. You are our 888th customer who purchased a terminal this month."

As she spoke, she clapped her hands and congratulated her.

Even the other staff in the store put down their work at this time, smiled and applauded her together.

Honestly, it's kind of embarrassing.

"This guest, you will get a flannel doll, and you can choose one of the following three styles for the specific style."

Following the direction pointed by the other party, Artoria saw three dolls about half the height of an arm.

However.........

I don't know why, it's obviously something that exists as a prize, but the shape looks particularly strange.

She stared at one of them, a little disbelief flashed in her eyes.

what is that?

A misshapen snail? ?

Is it really okay for you to come up with something like this as a gift? ? ?

"...Do you have to choose one?"

"Of course, please choose!"

Although the other party was smiling, his tone was very firm.

Sighing, Artoria finally chose the most normal-looking one among them helplessly.

It was a green frog standing like a human, with big eyes, long eyelashes, and a small pink tongue, how strange it looked.

"Then please put it away."

The shopping guide numbly mentioned the frog and stuffed it into her arms, then waved goodbye with a smile on her face.

Under Artoria's veiled expression, by the time she realized it, she was already standing at the door with a green frog in her arms.

Her eyes were a little wandering, and she looked extremely confused standing outside the store door.

What did you just do?

"It's so slack."

She said, and then patted her cheek with her hand.

"In short, since the terminal has been bought, let's go and look at the clothes."

According to the information on the mall's screen, Artoria came to the area that mainly sells women's clothing.

"Let me see what cheaper clothes are available..."

While walking around, a surprised voice suddenly came from behind, "It's Tai Quack!"

"???"

Quack too?what is that? ?

Turning around following the voice, what caught her eyes was a pretty girl in Tokiwadai school uniform, with shoulder-length brown short hair.

She had seen this girl before.

then........

Artoria frowned slightly, with a smile on her face.

"Hello, Ms. Blue Fuji."

Chapter 11 That woman is damn handsome (4000 words)

The cool breeze in the shopping mall is blowing slightly, bringing a short coolness to the summer heat.

"Hello, Ms. Blue Fuji."

The blond girl in front of her had a smile on her lips, and the dazzling incandescent light above her head shone on her hair, blurring her color, making her look a little hazy.

The other party's voice was clear and gentle, and there was an indistinguishable beauty in the whole person.

Women are more heroic, men are less gentle.

From Misaka Mikoto's point of view, she was definitely a top-notch beauty.

I have to say that being able to meet each other in this place surprised and delighted her.

but..........

"Don't call me Blue Mount Fuji! Quickly forget about that!!"

There were blue veins on Miqin's forehead, her cheeks were flushed, and she looked at the girl in front of her with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Black history, absolutely black history.

Why was I so stupid at the time? !

Arturia was stunned by the expression on the little girl's face and her words.

At that moment, she realized her problem.

How can you yell at the unknown lady at will when you meet for the second time.

Although it was just a joke, the other side didn't seem very happy.

then........
