Artoria wants to read people's hearts

"I understand."

Artoria nodded seriously, with a serious and solemn expression, "This beautiful lady, please forgive my rudeness, please give me a chance to reform myself."

"........."

It was completely unexpected that this beautiful blond girl would pay so much attention to what she just said.

This made her a little happy, but also a little bit embarrassed.

Thinking of her bold and unrestrained roar just now, Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but turned to the side with a slightly red face.

"...Ah, it's not that serious. I was actually a little rude just now."

She blinked a little embarrassedly, touched the ends of her hair, and apologized for her gaffe just now.

Arturia was relieved by the other party's attitude.

Fortunately, I didn't offend the other party's resentment.

"In that case."

She paused, and then continued to speak, "Could you please tell me your name, so that I won't make a mistake next time."

There was some freedom and gentleness in her smile, and she easily won Misaka Mikoto's favor.

She is obviously a girl like her, but she is inexplicably gentlemanly and handsome.

"...My name is Misaka Mikoto."

The other party gave her a good feeling, and he didn't look like a bad person, so she said her name easily.

"Then in exchange, my name is Artoria Pendragon, please give me your advice, Miss Misaka."

Meiqin was slightly taken aback for a moment, and after she realized it, she also showed a bright smile, "Well, please give me your advice."

"So......."

Artoria nodded, took two steps forward and came to Mikoto, "May I ask what you mean by quack?"

"...You said that."

After hearing her question, the short brown-haired girl panicked for a moment.

Too bad, just because I saw Gua Gua too, I was automatically excited, and I didn't expect that the other party was actually someone I knew.

If she knew about her naive taste, she would definitely die socially.

She could even foresee Miss Pendragon's indescribable expression when she knew that she liked Quacka.

Even though he is already a junior high school student, he still likes Quack too, it's so childish.

The other party must think so!

She sneered a few times, hesitated to speak, and scratched her reddish cheeks with her hands in a cover-up manner, "I, I have a friend who likes quacks very much, so when I saw the doll in your hand, , accidentally..."

so what?

Did you call out your name excitedly?

After Misaka Mikoto said it, she suddenly realized that this reason was so weak......

After all, if they were just friends, why did she act so excited just now?

At first glance, it is deception.

"Well........"

A small animal-like cry came out of her mouth, and she covered her face with her hands in a somewhat self-defeating manner, not daring to look in Artoria's direction anymore.

However.........

Arturia nodded, and said unhurriedly, "So that's how it is."

No matter how many loopholes there were in Misaka Mikoto's explanation, she accepted them all.

"!!!"

what happened?

Does Miss Pendragon really believe everything I say? ?

Putting down her hands covering her cheeks, Mikoto's bright brown eyes looked at the girl in front of her in surprise.

However, what she saw was the emerald green that was as clear and inclusive as a lake.

There is no doubt in the eyes, only trust.

It seems that as long as it is what she said, the other party will not believe everything.

that pose......

———— How handsome.

How to do?

His cheeks seemed to be a little hot.

"In this case, then give this doll named Gua Gua Tai to your friends."

Before Mikoto could react, Artoria directly handed over the frog doll in her hand.

This action directly brought the brown-haired girl's thoughts back to reality. She blinked, first a surge of surprise in her heart, and then immediately turned into a little embarrassment.

"This doll in your hand is a limited edition of Guagua, I can't have it."

She didn't notice at all that what she just said was "I" can't have it, not that friends can't have it.

Once emotional, he fell off the horse.

But regarding the inconsistency shown by the other party, Artoria did not make any statement about it.

After all, no matter what the reason is, taking care of the lady's emotions and face is what she should do as a knight.

So she just shook her head slightly, and then said, "For me, it's just a dispensable doll, but for your friends, it means something extraordinary."

The blond girl had a serious expression on her face. When she looked at Mikoto, the vast starry sky seemed to be reflected in her eyes.

"So please accept it, Ms. Misaka, after all, only in the hands of those who know how to appreciate it, can it display its greatest value."

The other party was serious, which was something Mikoto clearly realized.

"......Okay, I know."

Infected by the other party's attitude, Misaka Mikoto also put on a serious face at that moment, with the same solemn expression.

She stretched out her hands and took the quack doll from Artoria's hand.

Looking up, the brown-haired girl and the blonde girl looked at each other.

"I swear, I'll take care of it."

Just giving away a doll, unexpectedly let the two of them make it look like a handover ceremony for some mysterious event.

Passers-by frequently looked sideways, with doubts and regrets in their eyes.

It's a pity that two such beautiful little girls can't use their brains well.

What a pity, what a pity.

However, no matter what other passers-by think, anyway, Misaka Mikoto is in a particularly happy and joyful mood now.

Holding her new limited edition Quacka doll in her arms, she was so happy that she wanted to hum.

With undiminished excitement, she asked Artoria, "Miss Pendragon, what did you come to the Seventh Mist to buy?"

"Clothes, I need to buy some summer clothes now."

There was nothing to hide, so Artoria replied directly.

"That's great, I'm here to buy some new clothes, let's go shopping together!"

The other party's invitation came so suddenly that it made her stunned for a moment.

But immediately, she reacted.

"Thank you Misaka-san for your invitation, it is my honor."

Coincidentally, the other party's proposal was right in her arms.

After all, Arturia has never been to the Seventh Mist, and with the leadership of Misaka Mikoto, the efficiency of shopping will be greatly improved.

"Ah, that's right."

With a bright smile, the brown-haired girl patted her on the shoulder lightly, and said carefreely.

"You don't need to call me Misaka-san at all, you look older than me, so just call me by my name, just call me Mikoto."

It seems that Artoria's act of sending Guaguata away just now completely made the other party regard her as a friend.

This feeling of being recognized also caused a warm current in her heart.

"So.........."

Laughing softly, she parted her lips as time passed, "Miqin, you can also call me Al or Liya."

The other party's smile was foul, even Misaka Mikoto, who was used to seeing beauties, couldn't help feeling dizzy at that moment as if she was drunk.

"...Then Liya."

She shook her head vigorously to free herself from the beauty shock.

"Let's go shopping together, Lia."

Holding the quack doll in her hand tightly, she stepped over Artoria and walked forward first.

With their backs facing each other, the girl couldn't see the blush flying up on her face by taking advantage of the dead angle.

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

There were people coming and going in the mall, and everyone who saw Misaka Mikoto and Arturia couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Who wouldn't like a young and beautiful girl?

Inside a clothing store.

Artoria stopped in her tracks and looked carefully in front of a white shirt.

It was a very basic style, without any fancy design, but it was precisely because of this simplicity that it just suited her preferences.

"How much is it?"

The girl's gaze moved down slightly, and she saw the price written on the price tag.

1 yen!

"........."

Isn't this price really a steal? !

"What's wrong, Lia?"

Perhaps Misaka Mikoto turned around seeing Artoria standing in one place for a long time, and asked her curiously, "Do you want to try this dress?"

"..........No."

Shaking her head slightly, Artoria shifted her gaze, and said in a difficult voice, "Just looking at it, this dress doesn't seem to suit my appearance."

"how come?"

Mikoto cast her eyes on the white shirt, feeling that it might look good on the other side.

In fact, she actually thinks that the other party may be suitable no matter what he wears.

"Speaking of which, Mikoto."

Seeing that something was going wrong, Artoria hurriedly changed the subject.

"After shopping for so long, do you have any favorite clothes?"

as predicted.

As soon as this sentence came out, Misaka Mikoto's attention was directly removed from the dress.

"Not yet."

With a slightly distressed expression, she spread her hands and sighed.

"There's nothing I like about this store."
