Chapter 287: A Brief Calm
On the dinner table in the morning, as usual.
After a night's rest, Chen Xiaofeng's body was fine, but he was still in a trance due to the "dream" guide all night.
"Master, are you going to continue last night's events later?"
What happened last night...... If such words are heard by others, there will be a lot of misunderstandings, but Chen Xiaofeng obviously won't be that much, what happened last night was just the training that Artoria said.
"Hmm...... Yes, let's start after the meal is eaten, and you will be tortured by Lily like last night......" Chen Xiaofeng said nonchalantly.
"Master, if you talk like this, I have no position...... That's not torture, it's training! Artoria tapped her chopsticks dissatisfied.
"Huh? Uh, sorry, I didn't hear clearly. ”
"Really, master, what's wrong with you today. It's just getting up, but it gives people the feeling that they haven't slept before. Was it because I trained too late last night? Artoria subconsciously looked at the clock, "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?" ”
Having said that, Artoria did not have a reproachful look, and from this point you could feel Artoria's trust in Chen Xiaofeng.
It is precisely because of this trust that Chen Xiaofeng can't meet her eyes now, as long as he does, it will remind Chen Xiaofeng of the blood-colored hills he saw last night.
"Since the master doesn't have any vitality, then let me pass on the vitality to the master, although the room is a little small, but as long as the middle of the living room is sorted out, it can still be used as a temporary 'gym'," Artoria said with the same expression as yesterday.
"Hmm...... That's please. Chen Xiaofeng lowered his head and ate the food in the bowl......
It was just after noon.
Chen Xiaofeng, Artoria, and Mikoto Misaka sat around the table eating lunch.
Mikoto Misaka came after Chen Xiaofeng and the others had breakfast, originally saying that they were going to go out together, saying that they wanted to compensate "Chen Xiaoxiao" for the last incident, but later they seemed to be very interested in this so-called training.
However, the pre-lunch workout was a copy of last night...... In other words, Chen Xiaofeng still has no progress.
And, in comparison, Chen Xiaofeng's enthusiasm seems to be one less layer. Chen Xiaofeng can't be blamed for this, it's just that Chen Xiaofeng became depressed as soon as he was face to face with Artoria, and he didn't make an active defensive counterattack like last night.
However, it is not only Chen Xiaofeng who has changed, probably because Misaka is also there, if it were last night, Artoria would not let go of any gap between Chen Xiaofeng, but now he is just waiting for Chen Xiaofeng to attack, so the situation has become that the two have been facing each other.
"What's wrong with you two? Doesn't that look interesting? Is this what training is called? "Mikoto Misaka is a little bored to lose.
Dust Ou Feng cheered up because of Mikoto Misaka's reproach, and tried to attack Artoria, but the result was still the same as before, every time when he was about to hit Artoria, the other party was able to gently block Chen Xiaofeng's weak attack, and let him go without counterattacking.
Chen Xiaofeng, who had been let go, quickly turned to Artoria again, attacked again, and was let go again, just ten minutes ago, this mismatch time came to an end.
So thanks to the addition of Mikoto Misaka, today's lunch was only a few minutes earlier.
Since Artoria has been training with Chen Xiaofeng, today's lunch is just a simple sandwich.
The TV in the living room reports the news, and watching TV during meals is a habit at home for many people. Originally, Chen Xiaofeng didn't have much interest in news or anything, after all, these things basically had 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 an interview with the "sea monster", but it was not like that.
"Yes...... The guards' arsenal was stolen yesterday...... "Huang Quanchuan's neutral voice came from the television," and the surveillance cameras did not find anything unusual at the time...... Of course, it is also possible that it was dark so I didn't shoot clearly......"
"Huh...... The guards' arsenal has been stolen, this city is really dangerous......" "Oh, no wonder Shirai-san-chan is not with you~" Chen Xiaofeng played the role of "Chen Xiaoxiao" very well.
As a member of the Discipline Commission, it is only natural for Shirai Kuroko to help investigate after the guard's arsenal is stolen.
Artoria didn't show much interest in the news, and continued to eat her sandwich to herself.
It was raining outside, and the floor was cold with wooden planks, so there was no place to play even for dinner, so everyone ate sandwiches slowly.
"Hmm...... Sure enough, no matter what Lily does, it's very delicious. Mikoto Misaka said as she shoved the last bit of 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." Mikoto Misaka said with a smile.
A smile like the sunshine of spring.
Is Mikoto Misaka's smile infectious?
Artoria exhaled deeply and looked at the girl with short brown hair.
"Really? Misaka: I'm so glad you can say that. ”
Cheerful voice...... It was the first time since the appearance of the Black Knight that Artoria had spoken in such a cheerful voice. Artoria smiled.
For some reason, Chen Xiaofeng's chest was hot, such a smile was really good, the smile just now was Artoria's smile for herself.
It's not to guard the "master", to guard the "underworld", not to anyone, just her own smile that is pure high-tech.
"Xiaoxiao? What's the matter, your expression, did you encounter something good? "Huh? Is there one? Did I just have a strange expression? "Well, it's strange, it's like the kind of expression that the elder guards his junior...... This kind of expression really doesn't match Xiaoxiao's age. "Huh?" Although I don't know what Mikoto Misaka means, Chen Xiaofeng really laughed just now.
"Really? Forget it, it's a good thing, so I probably accidentally laughed out loud. ”
"Is it a good thing? What's good? Mikoto Misaka asked curiously.
