In the evening, the restaurant of the Artoria family. ⊙，

The seats at the long dining table are almost full. Artoria, as the owner of the house, as well as Zhou Yao and others.

"Hey, don't rob me of my food!"

"Come on, come on, I haven't seen you for a long time, so let my sister feed you~"

"It tastes so good."

……

The girls were noisy and shouting, and a cheerful and cheerful atmosphere permeated the restaurant.

As the only male in the audience, Zhou Yao felt full just by seeing this picture.

Thank you for your hospitality~!

Zhou Yao secretly praised Artoria.

"What's wrong? Not to your liking? ”

Seeing that Zhou Yao hadn't eaten much, Artoria couldn't help but ask.

"No, I'm just worried about if they're going to disturb you." Zhou Yao shook his head and said.

"It's been a long time since I've had this excitement at home, and the last time I moved here was when I got together with Bedwell."

With a nostalgic look on her face, Artoria smiled at the scenes that took place at the table.

Hearing this, Zhou Yao frowned, and wanted to ask what she had experienced after the apocalypse, so that she would face her life experience as frankly as she did today.

But after hesitating, Zhou Yao still couldn't ask.

The relationship between the two is not close, but it is not far away. This kind of ** is unlikely to tell him.

"It's getting closer and closer to the knight's ceremony, you must be very busy as the head of the academy."

didn't mention what he thought of just now, Zhou Yao casually started the topic.

"There aren't many things going on at the ceremony, after all, it's been held many times, and many things are already in control. On the other hand, recently...... Ah, don't talk about that. Sure enough, you're here for the Knight Ceremony? Want to participate? ”

A cloud of sadness flashed across Artoria's face, but she quickly covered it up and changed the subject.

"I'm not interested in squire warfare. If I can get an invitation, I'd like to participate in the battle for the king. Zhou Yao said.

Rather than the squire battle, he wanted to participate in the battle to win the king and help the second dude obtain the holy spear.

"Invitations, I'm sorry. That's the part of the Ideal Township oversight, and I can't interfere. Artoria said truthfully.

"No, I didn't mean anything else." Zhou Yao reacted and hurriedly explained.

"Then again. I really didn't realize that you actually have 'talent' in this area. ”

Artoria smiled, looked at the girls present, and said something.

"Huh? Ah, although it is impossible to deny this fact. But it's definitely not what you think. Besides, bringing so many people is actually for another thing. ”

Zhou Yao was stunned for a moment, and then explained with a wry smile.

"Another thing?" Artoria asked.

"Hmm...... I feel compelled to explain this to you. Zhou Yao said after thinking about it.

Personally, he didn't want to hide the presence of Gasalami from Artoria. As far as the big picture is concerned, when the next crusade is launched, it is likely to cause a big stir. When the time comes, it will definitely not be able to hide from Artoria. So it's better to let us know in advance.

"That'...... Come to my study later? ”

Seeing Zhou Yao's solemn face, Artoria frowned and said.

For some reason, Zhou Yao's words reminded her of what happened this morning. It was also because of that incident that she came back so late.

"Okay." Zhou Yao nodded.

The conversation ends and continues with dinner time.

Maybe he underestimated the belly of Zhou Yao and his family. The dinner prepared by the servant was quickly eaten.

A few foodies at home...... Mainly under Shixiang's protest, Zhou Yao had to let Sakuya prepare some more.

In the meantime, Artoria left his seat first.

It should be mentioned that Redore did not come to the restaurant for dinner. She left the mansion shortly after Artoria's return to run errands.

Otherwise, how could he let Zhou Yao and her father "set up".

"I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with that Knight King."

After Artoria left, Titia, who was sitting next to Zhou Yao, leaned over and said.

"Just a friend." Zhou Yao said "modestly".

"I'm going to talk to her about Gasalami later?"

"Of course, it is necessary to tell her in advance."

"Lonely men and widows in a room, something will happen?"

"Hey, your character is broken."

……

Filling his stomach, Zhou Yao also left the restaurant.

Following the guidance of his memory, he came to Artoria's study.

Push the door open and walk into the room. Sure enough, Artoria was already waiting for him inside.

"Let's have a drink."

After Zhou Yao sat down, Artoria handed over a cup of black tea.

"Thank you." Zhou Yao thanked him.

Then there was no small talk, and I went straight to the point.

"That's right. About ......"

Zhou Yao gave a general explanation of the purpose of coming to the University of Britain this time. Whether it's the matter of Gassalami, or the matter of the magic weapon.

"Evil spirit Gasalami...... I see......"

A flash flashed in Artoria's eyes.

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Zhou Yao saw that her expression was a little wrong. Asked suspiciously.

Could it be that Artoria has already been in contact with Gasalami?

"Hearing what you said about Gasarami, I figured out something."

Immediately, under Artoria's narration, Zhou Yao knew that the "thing" had happened......

Just this morning, a murder of a heinous nature suddenly occurred in the residential area of the eastern part of the British University.

A man caught in a frenzy repeatedly attacked passers-by along the street. More than twenty people were killed in a short period of time. He then engaged in a battle with the Knights who arrived, and was eventually killed by the Knights on the spot.

According to the results of the investigation, the man was a resident of the University of Britannia. There had been no unusual behavior prior to the incident. The sudden madness makes it impossible to find the slightest source.

If the only thing that has anything to do with it is another case that happened yesterday afternoon.

Two outside magicians suddenly die in the alley.

After investigation, it was learned that one of them suddenly attacked his companion and killed him.

At that time, the scene was horrific, and the attacked companions were actually gnawed alive to death. The body was eaten in pieces, and the rest was not even half of it.

And the one who committed suicide, with a hideous expression on his face like an evil ghost Shura, is very similar to the guy who attacked people indiscriminately this morning.

"It's happening again......"

After listening to Artoria's account, Zhou Yao frowned deeply.

"According to you, the prisoner is most likely Gasarami. It is supposed to do this to test what you call the 'Dean.' ”

Artoria pondered for a moment, then analyzed.

"The first time was to test the reaction of the 'Dean', because it was not sure if the Dean' was here. The second is a public provocation, because it already suspects that the 'dean' is really not here. (To be continued.) )http://
