In the morning at the dinner table, it was the same as usual.
After a night's rest, Chen Xiaofeng's body was fine, but he was still in a trance due to a whole night of "dreams".
"Master, do you plan to continue what happened last night later?"
What happened last night... Such words would cause a lot of misunderstandings if others heard them, but Chen Xiaofeng obviously wouldn't be like that. What happened last night was just the training Arturia said.
"Well...yeah, let's start after the meal is over. I'm going to be tortured by you like Lily last night..." Chen Xiaofeng said nonchalantly.
"Master, when you talk like this, I have no position... That's not torture, it's training!" Arturia knocked her chopsticks dissatisfied.
"Eh? Uh, sorry, I was stunned for a moment and didn't hear clearly."
"Really, Master, what's wrong with you today? You have just woken up, but it feels like you haven't slept at all. Is it because you trained too late last night?" Arturia looked subconsciously.
He checked the clock and said, "No, I remember it was only eleven o'clock when I came back. Could it be that the master did something after he came back?"
Although she said this, Artoria did not look accusatory. From this point, we can feel Artoria's trust in Chen Xiaofeng.
It is precisely because of this trust that Chen Xiaofeng cannot meet her eyes now. As long as they do, Chen Xiaofeng will be reminded of the bloody hills he saw last night.
"Since the master doesn't have much energy, let me pass on the energy to you, the master. Although the room is a bit small, as long as the middle of the living room is organized, it can still be used as a temporary 'dojo'."
Artoria had the same expression as yesterday.
"Well... then it's up to you."
Chen Xiaofeng lowered his head and ate the food in the bowl...
It was just after noon.
Chen Xiaofeng, Artoria, and Misaka Mikoto were sitting around the table eating lunch.
Misaka Mikoto came after Chen Xiaofeng and the others had finished breakfast. She originally planned to go out and play together, saying that she wanted to compensate "Chen Xiaoxiao" for the last incident, but later she seemed to be very interested in this so-called training.
However, the exercise before lunch was a replica of last night... which meant that Chen Xiaofeng still made no progress.
Moreover, in comparison, Chen Xiaofeng seemed to be less motivated. This cannot be blamed on Chen Xiaofeng, but Chen Xiaofeng became depressed as soon as he faced Artoria, and was unable to launch an active defensive counterattack like last night.
However, Chen Xiaofeng is not the only one who has changed, probably because Misaka is also there. Last night, Artoria would not have let Chen Xiaofeng take any chances, but now she is just waiting for Chen Xiaofeng.
After attacking, the situation became a confrontation between the two.
"What's wrong with you two? You don't look very interesting? Is this the so-called training?" Misaka Mikoto lost a little bored.
Dust Oufeng cheered up because of Misaka Mikoto's scolding, and tried to attack Artoria, but the result was the same as before. Every time when he was about to hit Artoria, the opponent could gently stop him.
After Chen Xiaofeng's weak attack, he let him go without fighting back.
Chen Xiaofeng, who was let off, quickly turned to Artoria, attacked again, and was let off again. Just ten minutes ago, this incongruous time ended.
So thanks to Misaka Mikoto's participation, today's lunch was moved up a few minutes.
Since Artoria has been training with Chen Xiaofeng, today's lunch is just a simple sandwich.
News is reported on the TV in the living room. Watching TV while eating is a habit of many people's homes. Originally, Chen Xiaofeng was not very interested in news or anything like that. After all, these things basically have nothing to do with him.
Chen Xiaofeng is not the kind of person who worries about unnecessary things every day, but this news still made him pay a little attention.
Because the person in the shot is Huang Quanchuan.
Originally, Chen Xiaofeng thought it was about interviewing the "sea monster", but that was not the case.
"Yes... the security guard's weapons depot was stolen yesterday..." Huang Quanchuan's neutral voice came from the TV, "The surveillance camera didn't find anything unusual at the time... Of course, it might have been dark so it wasn't captured clearly.
Because of…”
"Hey...the guards' weapons arsenal has been stolen. This city is really dangerous..."
"Oh, no wonder Shirai-san is not with you~" Chen Xiaofeng plays the role of Chen Xiaoxiao very well.
As the disciplinary committee member, it was natural for Shirai Kuroko to help investigate after the security guard's weapons depot was stolen.
Arturia, on the other hand, didn't show much interest in the news and was still eating her sandwich by herself.
It happened to be raining outside, and the floor was made of cold wooden boards. There was no place to play even when having dinner, so everyone ate their sandwiches slowly.
"Hmm... As expected, whatever Lily makes is delicious." Misaka Mikoto said after stuffing the last bit of the sandwich into her mouth.
"Although the weather is not very good today, I think it is still a good deal to be able to eat such a delicious sandwich." Misaka Mikoto said with a smile.
A smile like the sunshine in spring.
Is Misaka Mikoto's smile contagious?
Arturia took a deep breath and looked at the girl with short brown hair.
"Really? I'm so happy that you can say that, Misaka."
The cheerful voice... This was the first time Artoria had spoken in such a cheerful voice since the appearance of the Black Knight. Artoria smiled.
For some reason, Chen Xiaofeng felt warm in his chest. Such a smile was so good. The smile just now was the smile Arturia showed for herself.
It's not to protect the "master" or the "underworld", it's not for anyone, it's just her own smile that is purely high-tech.
"Xiaoxiao? What's wrong? That expression on your face. Did something good happen to you?"
"Huh? Really? Did I look weird just now?"
"Well, it's very strange. It's like the expression of an elder protecting his junior... Such an expression is really inconsistent with your age, Xiaoxiao."
"Huh?" Although I don't know what Misaka Mikoto means, Chen Xiaofeng really laughed out loud just now.
"Really? Never mind, there is indeed something good going on, so I probably laughed accidentally."
"Is it a good thing? What's a good thing?" Misaka Mikoto asked curiously.
