Early in the morning, a room in the Mercenary Tavern in Bath City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Through the cracks in the closed curtains, the sun shines brightly, and the birds chirp on the branches outside the window.

It's the morning atmosphere. The darkness and destruction of last night were like illusions, and I don't know where they had disappeared.

"Hmm~~!"

Artoria rubbed her still heavy eyelids and woke up in a trance in the soft bed, sunshine, birdsong, and a refreshing morning atmosphere.

"It's already dawn! In my dream, Merlin didn't come to class, and he slept so comfortably! Artoria opened her misguided eyes, the hairs on her head swaying and swaying.

"Good morning, Artoria!" Yu Han was on the chair by the window, his delicate and immature face smiling gently, but his face still showed a thick tiredness.

Beside Yu Han was a large wooden table, on which was placed a pitch-black longbow, the Soul Eater Bow, with mysterious magic patterns floating on the bow, forming a strange pattern, which was the dragon of the eastern god that Merlin had told Artoria in his dream.

"Huh!!" Artoria looked at the boy in front of her in surprise.

"What's the matter, don't you know me!" Yu Han looked at the suspicious look in Artoria's eyes, and couldn't help but darken his face, and he couldn't help but start worrying in his heart about whether Artoria would lose her memory because of yesterday's explosion.

Although I don't know why, the girl didn't seem to be injured last night, and Yu Han also asked the priest of the Bass Church to use the best healing magic to help Artoria heal, but he still can't be sure if the girl is completely fine, after all, last night's attack was too violent, and even the sixth-order warrior Luke Hodge died directly.

But obviously, Yu Han thinks too much!

I saw Artoria sit up from the bed suddenly, and then with lightning speed, she tied Tosaka Yuhan from the chair with a sheet, and then pressed him to the ground.

"You bastard who dares to leave me alone! I've finally caught you! The blonde girl put her hands on the boy's shoulders, and said indignantly, looking like a cute angry lion cub.

It's not surprising that Yu Han was pressed down so simply, after all, he was too busy last night, fighting, exploding, looking for girls, healing girls, sealing the spirit of the magic dragon, a lot of things, making Yu Han tired, and completely defenseless against girls.

Early in the morning, Yu Han lay on the ground, blushing and looking at the chest of the girl above, with only one thought in his mind, "The flat-chested Artoria is so cute!" ”

"Boom!"

The maid who had just opened the door to deliver breakfast picked up the wooden tray that had fallen on the ground with a blushing face, and then quickly withdrew.

This can't be misunderstood by others, Yu Han was wrapped in white sheets and lay on the ground weakly, and a faint flush appeared on his delicate and immature face.

Artoria was only wearing simple white women's underwear, disheveled, holding Yu Han's shoulders with both hands, pressing Yu Han's legs with both legs, staring at Yu Han condescendingly.

At first glance, it is thought that the handsome girl has stripped the beautiful boy naked, is wrapped in a sheet, and is pressed to the ground, carrying out that shameful thing.

Quiescence!

Even Artoria felt that something was wrong, and her face turned red unnaturally, but because Artoria was raised as a boy since she was a child, she had been educated by the king and did not understand common sense.

Artoria still didn't get off Tosaka Han, but looked at the door that had just closed and the boy who was still blushing suspiciously, then shook her head and threw away the doubts in her mind, and then picked up the sword in the stone and put it on the neck of Yu Han, who had been smiling ninja, and continued the original torture.

"Do you still refuse to dare my protection!"

"Do you dare to leave me alone!"

"Do you know how long Merlin begged me before I agreed to follow you!"

"You bastard! Do you know how hungry I am looking for you? ”

The blonde girl asked angrily one after another in a clear voice, but Yu Han didn't answer, still smiling on her face, but with tears in her eyes, she stared blankly at Artoria's face.

However, after listening to the last sentence, Yu Han laughed, then raised his hand, put it in front of Artoria, and took out a beef roast with a hot aroma from the ring.

Then he handed it to Artoria, who had probably not eaten since she was separated from herself, looked into Artoria's eyes and said seriously: "I won't leave you alone, even if you don't want to protect me in the future, I will wrap you tightly." ”

"Never separate!"

But Artoria, who has been educated by the king and doesn't understand love, didn't fully understand the meaning of Yu Han's words, but only understood that Yu Han accepted her protection and would not leave her again, so she angrily snatched the beef roast from Yu Han's hand, and then quickly got up from Yu Han, sat on the bed and began to eat angrily.

"Ahem!" Yu Han, who got up from the ground, coughed blushing, and then said, "What's the matter, is it still painful?" ”

“？” Artoria looked at Yu Han in confusion, put her fingers on her knees and asked, "What's wrong?" Only then did he notice that his clothes had been changed.

Immediately looked at Yu Han with disbelief eyes, and then asked in a heavy tone, "You found out?" ”

Yu Han was stunned for a moment, scratched his hair and asked, "What did you find?" ”

"I'm a girl!" Artoria blushed and spoke.

Yu Han tugged at the unnatural corners of his mouth, then shook his head and sighed, and said in a strange tone: "Everyone knows, only you don't know." ”

"What !!" Artoria froze in shock.

"Your appearance and voice have betrayed you a long time ago, anyone can tell that you are a girl." Yu Han looked at Artoria seriously and explained.

But it seemed that he saw something he shouldn't see, and then he immediately turned his head to look out the window, blushed and said, "But you better tidy up your clothes first, I'll go out first!" As soon as he finished speaking, he fled, leaving Artoria alone in the room.

……

In the backyard of the mercenary tavern, Fili and Tosaka Yuhan were eating breakfast, probably because of the gem, Fili was very polite to the two, and Yuhan also intended to intersect with them, and the two of them ate meat while drinking, and soon became friends.

"Filly, how's that escort mission to Merion?" Yu Han asked Fili, who was drinking ale, as he bit into the soft white bread.

"Are you still going to the north? Now almost all of the mercenaries in Bath are dead, and the mercenary group that was specially escorted has also turned into corpses, give up. Fili kindly suggested to Yu Han, after all, it is a pity that such a good financier died, and Fili also hoped that they could stay in Bath for a while.

"Yes!" Yu Han nodded, because a year was too tight, except for the battlefield between the Alliance (Church, Magician Association, Mercenary Guild) and the Dead Apostles, Yu Han couldn't think of where to collect the resources for his cultivation and refining magic weapons.

Although the demon dragon in the Soul Eater Bow is very powerful, it is not controlled at all, and after yesterday's explosion, the demon dragon has absorbed a large number of souls, which has become more difficult to control, so that as soon as Yu Han picks up the Soul Eater Bow, he will be affected by the spirit of the demon dragon in it, and the idea of killing people continues to pour out in his heart, and he had to consume a lot of magic power last night to reseal it.

Last time, he was only able to break through the original seal by absorbing the souls of the seven members of the Merry Mercenary Group, which made Yu Han dare not use the Soul Devouring Bow again until he found a way to suppress the demonic thoughts.

However, it is also true that as a well-known magic weapon of demon cultivation in the Eastern cultivation world, it should be difficult for cultivators in the foundation building period to control it.

Fili looked at Yu Han's resolute eyes, shook his head and said helplessly, "Okay then, just leave later, the church will send some people to go with you." He took a sip of the ale and continued, "But don't expect them to fend off the Dead Apostles and the ferocious Saxons of England. ”

At this moment, there was a dull sound of going down the stairs, and the two looked back.

I saw that Artoria was walking on the stairs with some restraint, probably because the men's clothes she had brought were destroyed in the explosion last night, and now she can only wear a white maid's suit, and it is probably the first time to wear women's clothes Artoria is a little uncomfortable, and her face has been flushed.

Although Artoria was wearing men's clothes, she could already be seen to be a big beauty, but when she really wore women's clothes, Artoria's beauty full of the two contradictory temperaments of heroism and dignity was enough to make Yu Han and Fili completely stunned.

Just a minute later.

A lion-like voice resounded over the mercenary tavern, causing the pedestrians on the street to talk, that is.

"Have you seen enough!!"

……

Half an hour later, Artoria and Yu Han were already standing side by side outside the city of Bath.

At this time, Artoria was still in the same standard warrior men's clothes, carrying a small package in her hand, wearing a gray leather coat and leather pants, a blue light armor on the outside, and a sword on her back, but her golden hair was covered by a hood, only her nose and face were exposed, and the sword in the stone was also wrapped in linen cloth and became plain.

Originally, Yu Han planned to buy a female warrior uniform, and tried to persuade Artoria on the grounds that if Artoria wore women's clothes, no one would find out, but unfortunately, Artoria was too stubborn and insisted on not wearing non-men's clothes, which made Yu Han very helpless.

And last night's Yu Han also explained everything to Artoria, including of course, Artoria's clothes were changed by the maid of the mercenary tavern.

Although Artoria couldn't believe that Luke Hodge had given up his knightly dignity and drugged herself, she finally had to accept this sad fact after discovering through her intuition that Yu Han was not lying.

With Artoria as the overseer, Yu Han made a vow to promise that he would never kill innocent people, and after giving most of the gold coins and gems on his body to those victims, he also forgave the repentant boy with understanding.

And with a group of second-order church knights and a long transport procession, they began their journey to the north.

It's just that what the two of them don't know is that last night's explosion was believed by the powerhouses of the inner world to be caused by the Knight King's use of the power of the chosen sword, so that those ambitious nobles and knights were divided a lot, and it also made the next journey of the two a lot less troublesome, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
