After leaving the river connecting School District 22 and School District 7, it was already evening when I returned home.
Probably that skill consumed a lot of physical strength of Artoria, who had not yet reached her peak strength. Artoria had been sleeping soundly since she came back, and she only woke up now.
The scars left during the battle with the huge monster were healed due to the powerful recovery ability of the heroic spirit itself, but the heavy head of the gangster still made Artoria feel unusually sleepy.
It seems that he has not recovered his strength, and even using skills is very difficult.
I went back to my room and lay down, and then I couldn't even get up.
In contrast, nothing happened to Chen Xiaofeng. No wonder, although Chen Xiaofeng was the key to Artoria's plan, the fact was that Chen Xiaofeng stood aside and watched.
Except for blocking the security guards who wanted to help, Chen Xiaofeng's contribution to that battle was extremely close to zero.
Arturia discovered that Chen Xiaofeng was sitting by her window at the moment.
Wearing a set of home clothes, the girl's cuteness stands out in front of Artoria's eyes - I have to remind you that Chen Xiaofeng is a man!
"Did you sleep for half the day... It's really shameful." Arturia blamed herself.
Phew, looking at Artoria's drooped cheeks, Chen Xiaofeng felt relieved and it seemed that everything was fine.
Speaking of which, Chen Xiaofeng remembered that his zombie system showed that the golden sword he transformed was Artoria's sword, but why was it different from the sword Artoria used when she used the "Sword of Oath to Victory"?
?
Chen Xiaofeng wanted to ask clearly, but this was not a question that should be asked to a patient who had just woken up.
Then.
"Huh?"
Artoria sat up with a solemn expression.
"Artoria? What's wrong? Your face doesn't look good. Are you still feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No...just thinking about something."
"kindness?"
"No, it's nothing."
Arturia stood up and quietly left the room.
Chen Xiaofeng didn't know the reason why Artoria was like this, but he could get a rough idea just by guessing. Coupled with the dream he had before, Chen Xiaofeng also felt a little sure.
It's past nine o'clock in the evening.
To be honest, Chen Xiaofeng, who had eaten nothing after lunch, was already hungry. Unfortunately, Chen Xiaofeng knew nothing but instant noodles, and for Artoria, who had just returned from the front, it was just instant noodles.
The words seemed very inappropriate.
"Master, what do you want for dinner?" Artoria's voice came from the kitchen.
Even after a tiring day, Chen Xiaofeng felt a little guilty when he finally had to trouble Artoria to prepare dinner.
"This... whatever, just keep it simple, Lily."
Unknowingly, Chen Xiaofeng also called Artoria this way for some reason. Then, he soon realized his rashness, and there was silence from Artoria's side.
Was Arturia angry at the sudden address?
"Well, that... I, I just heard Minato and the others call you that, and my mind just didn't turn around... If you don't like it, I can still call you Artoria..."
"No." Arturia interrupted Chen Xiaofeng's explanation, "I just didn't react at the moment."
Since Artoria was in the kitchen, Chen Xiaofeng couldn't see Artoria's expression at the moment, but judging from her voice, she probably wasn't angry.
Chen Xiaofeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It can no longer be called dinner after nine o'clock in the evening, and Chen Xiaofeng also specifically told it to be simpler, but Artoria still prepared a quite sumptuous dinner.
Curry beef, fried salmon, and vegetable salad. There are meat and vegetables, and protein and fiber are well supplemented.
"Lily, it's just you and me tonight. Don't you think so much food is too much?"
"Well, not much. If you want to train, you will be hungry soon if you don't eat more."
"Eh?"
Regarding Chen Xiaofeng's doubts, Artoria glanced at him lightly: "Didn't Master say that? You want to fight side by side with me... Then how can you not train well?"
Such words seemed a bit sudden, but this was exactly what Chen Xiaofeng wanted to hear. Arturia seemed to have begun to accept Chen Xiaofeng's kindness without knowing it.
And the opportunity for this kind of thing is probably Chen Xiaofeng's previous phrase "Lily", right? This is a title that people who have no barriers will inadvertently appear.
It's obviously just a very small thing, but it can make such a change in a person's state of mind. It has to be said that the girl's state of mind is really elusive.
"Is it really possible?"
"Well...if the master wishes so." Arturia slowly picked up a bowl of miso soup.
"Well, of course I hope so... Moreover, I think Lily holding the sword is very handsome, and has a temperament that ordinary girls don't have. If you train with Lily, you will definitely be very happy, right?"
"Even if it's training, I will take action seriously. Master, you must be prepared."
It's already ten o'clock after dinner, and it's time to prepare for bed. However, since we just had dinner today, it's not healthy to go to bed.
So they obeyed Artoria's previous wishes, and the two of them went to the roof and performed the training Artoria said.
Since the trainer is a sword knight, the content of the training is undoubtedly swordsmanship.
"But...it's swordsmanship training, but what exactly do you do?"
Although when he first entered Changdian, Chen Xiaofeng had seen the bamboo sword competition of the Kendo club at the club exhibition, but in Chen Xiaofeng's opinion, these were not paying attention to the form, and they were just fighting each other like laymen.
Moreover, Chen Xiaofeng didn't really want to learn swordsmanship at that time, he just watched it out of curiosity. The phantom-like sword in the stone he used before was just a random swing by Chen Xiaofeng.
This time, it was Chen Xiaofeng’s first exposure to swordsmanship.
However, since it is a sword, it should be somewhat similar to the Kendo Club.
"Then, let's get started." Ah uh, as Li Ya said.
"Eh?"
"What's wrong? Master, your expression seems surprised."
"Ah, no, I'm just surprised that you didn't change clothes, Lily."
Because it was swordsmanship training, Artoria only wore that armor when fighting, so Chen Xiaofeng couldn't help but imagine going there.
However, wearing casual clothes will make Chen Xiaofeng feel more relaxed. After all, so far, Artoria's armor will only be put on when facing enemies.
