Artoria wants to read people's hearts

"That's really great, our Sweet restaurant is looking forward to your visit, miss."

After waving goodbye to the girl, Artoria turned around and started working again.

In midsummer, when it has just rained, the air feels even more refreshing.

That feeling is like washing away the dust and melancholy all over myself, and everything becomes clean.

The work of distributing leaflets went very smoothly, and the number of that thick stack was slowly decreasing as time passed.

Sometimes she didn't even reach out to hand the flyer to the other party, but those young and beautiful girls ran up to her with blushing faces, asking her for it shyly.

Obviously it's just a worthless leaflet......

Is it true that in today's society, family restaurants are a popular fashion among young girls?

Although I don't quite understand it, but since the other party asked for a leaflet, she will give it to him.

After all, as a knight, you still have to try your best to satisfy the lady's reasonable demands.

The sky was dyed pink by the setting sun. Seeing that the time to get off work was getting closer, the leaflets in Artoria's hand finally came to an end.

Reaching out her hand to wipe away the sweat beads that didn't exist on her forehead, she nodded in satisfaction and planned to call it a day and go home.

However, at this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

Tokiwadai's school uniform, brown shoulder-length short hair, and a face that looks extraordinarily pretty even without makeup.

The military binoculars on the opponent's forehead are very conspicuous.

"Mikoto?"

Confusion appeared in her eyes, but the moment she was stunned, the figure of the other party disappeared around the corner.

By the time Artoria came back to her senses, she had already missed the best time to say hello.

"never mind........"

Although the leaflets have been distributed, they are still working.

When we meet next time, let's talk about today's encounter with Miqin.

Chapter 19 Encounter at night, Mikoto seems to be in trouble

Arturia never expected that when she saw Mikoto again, it would be like this.

It was one night.

A hazy moon emerged from the transparent clouds in the deep blue sky, shining bright silver.

Because she was a little hungry, she came out of her residence and planned to go to the nearest convenience store to buy some food.

After half an hour.

With the voice of "welcome next time" behind her, she left the convenience store with the shopping plastic bag in her hand.

The cashier girl at the convenience store also looked only 20 years old. When she looked at Artoria, the smile on her face was completely different from that of a business person. It was a smile that was absolutely sincere.

Regarding this point, Artoria can still tell the difference.

Walking on the road, she unconsciously muttered to herself.

"......Next time, let's buy from this store."

Academy City's night is not as brightly lit and noisy as other cities.

Although there are also tens of thousands of lights shining brightly, it may be because the main members of the lights are students, and under the rigid regulations of the complete dismissal time, there are not many pedestrians on the street.

As she was walking, she suddenly stopped.

Looking ahead of him, a trace of confusion appeared in his emerald green eyes.

Not far from her was a telephone booth.

In the silence of the night, the small pavilion in front emitted a faint light, dispelling the darkness nearby.

In the pavilion, there stood a somewhat familiar figure of Arlia.

Black short sleeves, blue denim shorts.

The figure turned its back to her, so its specific face could not be seen.

But Artoria could recognize it at a glance, that person must be Misaka Mikoto.

However, recognition is recognition, and only knowing the identity of the other party cannot answer the doubts in her heart.

after all.........

Mikoto dressed like this so late, what is she doing here?

And more importantly, there was something wrong with the opponent's state at first glance.

Artoria's expression became serious, she frowned, and fixed her eyes on that figure.

Her short brown hair, which should have been smooth, was now dull and dusty.

Although I am very puzzled why the other party is not wearing Tokiwadai's school uniform, but wearing casual clothes for outside activities......

But at this time, the casual clothes were also dusty.

What happened to the other party?

If you see it, you can't ignore it.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and Artoria couldn't just leave anyway.

It didn't fit her way to let a little girl who was in trouble wander around at night.

Thinking of this, she moved again and walked towards the phone booth.

When she got closer, she saw that Misaka Mikoto was holding what seemed to be a small handheld computer.

A data cable is plugged into the computer to connect to the telephone in the telephone booth, and some data and text are scrolling rapidly at the top of the screen.

Although Arturia's vision is beyond ordinary people, but she can see, but it does not mean that she can understand the things above.

I'm sorry, she's embarrassing the traverser.

In Academy City, she was illiterate.

Misaka Mikoto's body emits weak electromagnetic waves anytime and anywhere, and the generation of this electromagnetic wave is not controlled by herself......

all in all.

Because of the electromagnetic waves, under a highly tense situation, Artoria's approach was quickly discovered by Mikoto.

who is it? !

Sensing someone approaching, Misaka Mikoto immediately reached out and pulled the data cable back from the phone booth.

After closing the handheld computer, she quickly turned around and looked in the direction of the person coming.

Just after the figure of that person was reflected in her pupils, her eyes widened in disbelief for a moment.

"... Liya?"

Her ears moved slightly, and despite being separated by the glass cover of the phone booth, Arturia still heard the other party's voice very clearly.

She kept on walking until she was less than one meter away from the phone booth before stopping.

Through the thick glass cover, she glanced at Mikoto calmly.

"Miqin, why are you here?"

However, her question was not answered by the other party. This is also normal. After all, not everyone has a hearing that is far beyond ordinary people like Artoria.

Misaka Mikoto is just an ordinary Level 5 junior high school girl who can discharge electricity, but she can't hear what the other party is saying outside the glass cover.

In the phone booth, Mikoto watched Artoria's lips open and close, with some confusion on her pretty face.

Liya, this is......, what are you talking about?

As expected of Academy City's product, the sound insulation quality of this glass is simply overwhelming.

However, Misaka Mikoto, who came back to her senses, immediately reacted.

No!What matters is not what she has to say!

The important thing is how to explain (sophistry) next, so as to be able to expose the scene in front of me.

that plan......

That inhumane plan must never be known to everyone, and I must keep it a secret, so as not to let them be involved by myself.

As long as you know the dark side of Academy City, you only need to know about it, and everyone's ordinary and warm daily life must not be destroyed because of you.

Misaka Mikoto couldn't help biting her lip, and secretly swore in her heart.

'I must protect everyone. '

Taking a deep breath, she forcibly pulled herself together, pretending to be nonchalant and raised the corners of her mouth into a smile.

Calmly stuffing the handheld computer into her pocket, she opened the door of the phone booth from the inside out, and then walked out.

Touching the back of her head with her left hand, Misaka Mikoto said haha.

"What a coincidence, Liya, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Yes, it's already eleven o'clock in the evening, and it's really a coincidence to meet him here.

Nodding, Artoria agreed with what the other party said.

She looked at the young girl with her back straight, and those lake-colored eyes seemed to be shining with stars.

"So......"

The blond girl's voice was clear and capable, and she asked slowly.

"Miqin, what are you doing here alone?"

Hearing the other party's question, the brown-haired girl froze slightly.

Here comes the time to test my art of speaking!

Chapter 20 Come home with me

Twilight has come to dawn.

At night, the moon is thrown into the sky like a piece of polished jade.

And those glittering stars, like the Milky Way paved with fine quicksand, lay recliningly on the blue sky, pouring out thousands of silver dust.

However..........

No matter how beautiful the outside scenery is, in the eyes of Misaka Mikoto at this moment, it is just a monotonous background board.

The girl with brown shoulder-length short hair knelt down in front of the small table with an awkward expression, her hands subconsciously clenched into fists and rested on her thighs, and her two small feet were tangled together uneasily behind her.

How did things get like this?

She pursed her lower lip, and her brown eyes were fixed on a small black dot on the table in front of her, as if she could see the mystery of the universe from that small black dot.

How could I follow the other party home?

At that time, he obviously wanted to leave as soon as he finished dealing with Liya, so how could it have turned into the current situation? ?

With a little want to cry but no tears, she involuntarily covered her little face with her hands, and finally let out a heavy sigh from the corner of her mouth.

——Ah, in fact, she knows the reason.

All of this is because of my own self-inflicted suffering, so it has become the current embarrassing situation.

In fact, Misaka Mikoto always thought that she was very sensible (not), but she didn't expect that just tonight, she was so seduced by the other party's beauty that she directly blew up her defense.

So slack!What a slack! !

Speaking of boasting, she has always known that she has a beautiful appearance, and she can definitely be called a beautiful girl.

So she has always been indifferent to things like appearance, and it can even be said that she doesn't care.

Coupled with the fact that Tokiwadai has countless beautiful young ladies, she thought she was already tired of aesthetics, so much so that she began to only look at inner beauty......

but!But ah! !

After all the calculations, she didn't even count on this day, and she would fall on Artoria's body.
