Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Page 162

"But I thought you should have finished your shopping by yourself a long time ago."

The boy denied his own thoughts. After all, according to his impression, this Shuul was very mobile and might have traveled all over Chaldea before he woke up.

Hearing the boy's self-questioning and answering, Xiuer slowly turned his head and looked at the boy with his emotionless eyes.

"No, because it's agreed that if I want to go and see it, I need to be accompanied by someone."

In other words, up to now, Shul has not yet seen the equipment that is extremely important to Chaldea.

"Eh~ Is this the regulation proposed by Dr. Roman and the others?"

Without any explanation, Fujimaru Ritsuka understood the meaning of Shul's words.

It can be seen that Roman and the others are still more concerned about this puppet with a special purpose and powerful strength.

"Of course. I agreed because the conditions were reasonable."

"Ah, thank you so much for understanding."

It was not until this moment that the young man finally relaxed his breath, and his nervousness was instantly swept away.

Although he didn't know what Shule and Roman talked about specifically, seeing that Shule was really staying here quietly, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt sincerely moved.

Thank you, Dr. Roman and Ms. Da Vinci, your actions saved Chaldea.

"...?"

Not sure why the boy in front of him suddenly looked so "touched", and seeing that the topic was over, Xiuer turned around and continued to look at the scenery outside the glass.

"There's nothing much to see outside."

Da da……

Ritsuka Fujimaru walked over to Shul and stood beside him, looking out the glass with him.

"..."

"Come to think of it, when I first arrived here, I was also shocked when I saw this scene."

For some reason, the boy suddenly started talking about his past.

This action successfully attracted Xiuer's attention, but the former did not notice it and was still secretly lamenting his past.

"..."

"Inquiring, how did you join Chaldea?"

Obviously, Shuul was attracted by Fujimaru Ritsuka's inspiration.

"Ahaha, about this..."

For some reason, the boy in front of him suddenly scratched his cheek in embarrassment, as if the answer to this question was a little difficult for him to explain.

This time, Xiuer really didn't understand the meaning of the other party's actions.

"Suspicion, unspeakable secret?"

Fixing his gaze on the other person, Fujimaru Ritsuka turned his head away somewhat awkwardly.

"It's not something I can't talk about, it's just that the way I joined was a little, uh... "weird."

"...?"

What does it mean?

"To be specific, I was just donating blood, but then I passed out for some reason. When I woke up, I was lying on the floor of the corridor in Chaldea."

After listening to the boy's story, even Xiuer couldn't help but frown slightly.

"..."

The latter lowered his head and pinched his chin, as if trying to determine whether what Fujimaru Ritsuka said was true or not.

After a few seconds, he raised his head and looked at the boy's face.

"Kidnapping?"

These two simple words explain Shule's understanding of this situation.

"Ahahaha... maybe?"

This word almost made Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was still sighing on the side, unable to hold back.

"Hiss, now that you mention it, it does seem a bit..."

Even the person involved was just scratching his head, looking unsure.

Seeing this, Xuel had no choice but to look away, thinking that this was just a special way of recruiting people in Chaldea.

Looking at Shuul who had calmed down again, Fujimaru Ritsuka just smiled.

"Want to hear about my experience?"

The boy still remembers that the people around him seemed curious about his experience.

Although he didn't notice the other party looking at him just now, the fact that the other party took over the conversation meant that he was listening attentively, otherwise how could he have summarized it so accurately.

"..."

However, in response to the boy's question, Xiuer just looked outside in silence.

"If you don't tell me, I'll take it as my consent."

"..."

There was no objection, it seemed like he just wanted to listen.

"Then let me think about it and start from the 'first time'."

The young man put his hands together, finalizing his decision. He then stopped caring about Shuul's reaction and began to talk about his experience from the first time he repaired the singularity...

……

"Ah, Senior... and Miss Xiuer?"

"Why are you here?"

The young man who was talking excitedly was interrupted by the sudden intrusion of the voice.

He immediately turned around and saw a girl in casual clothes, holding Fu Fu, looking at him and the others with a puzzled look on her face.

"Fu?"

The little beast in the girl's arms seemed curious about Shuul next to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Noticing Fufu's curious gaze, Xiuer tilted his head and returned the same gaze.

Then, the scene of a "man" and a beast looking into each other's eyes appeared in the eyes of the two people on the side.

"Fufu, this is the Miss Xiuer I told you about~"

As she spoke, Mashu handed the little beast in her arms to Shul, as if she wanted him to take a closer look at Shul.

"Don't look at her like that. In fact, Miss Xiuer's strength is very terrifying."

"Fu?"

After listening to Mashu's story, Fufu in her arms looked at Shul with even more curiosity.

Shuul didn't think anything of this, thinking it was just a strange creature raised by Chaldea.

Well, out of curiosity, let's check it out using the Advertisement Query.

As he thought this, Shuul's "headdress" began to glow faintly without Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu noticing.

"By the way, what are you doing here, seniors?"

Mashu glanced at Shule who was looking at Fufu.

The girl was just taking Fu Fu for a walk and happened to pass by here. Then she saw two people watching the scenery outside by the glass in the corridor.

Due to various reasons, she is no longer wary of Xiuer, and this question is just out of pure curiosity.

"Well, I'm sharing our "story" with Shul."

As he said this, Fujimaru Ritsuka put his hands on his hips, looking very proud.

It was clear that he was very satisfied with his storytelling ability.

"Our story?"

Mashu looked at the boy in confusion, then looked at Shuul.

"Fu!?"

Just at this moment, the Fu Fu in her hand suddenly rioted, slipped out of her hand, jumped to the ground, and then ran away.

"Ah, Fufu, where are you going?"

Mashu looked at Fu Fu running away, and finally smiled helplessly with her hand on her forehead.

"..."

However, Xuer looked at the white-haired creature that disappeared in a flash with a calm expression. His golden eyes had been "stained" with a hint of red at some point.

"Oh, that's interesting. This Chaldea is truly a place where all the wise men have gathered."

No one knew what Shuel was thinking at the moment. Seeing Shuel looking at the direction where Fufu ran away, Mashu was afraid that he would misunderstand her, so she quickly explained:

"Don't misunderstand, Miss Xiuer. Fufu doesn't hate you. It often runs away suddenly like this."

"...?"

Shuul tilted his head, as if wondering what the "misunderstanding" Mash was talking about was.

Well, it looks like the other party didn’t care about Fu Fu’s actions.

Seeing this, Mashu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mashu, don't be so reserved. Shuul isn't as rigid as you think."

"Don't be fooled by what he did earlier. Actually, Xiuer is usually very kind."

Senior, is it really okay for you to say this in front of the other person?

Besides, you and Miss Xiuer haven't even been in contact for a day.

And when did you become so close to Miss Xiuer?

Mashu was shocked by the boy's remarks. She quickly looked at Shuul, as if she was worried that the other party would mind what Fujimaru Ritsuka said.

Fortunately, Shul just listened to the conversation between the two calmly, and even blinked in confusion when Mashu looked over.

It's as if to say, "Why are you looking at me?"

Oh, it seems like he really doesn't mind, which makes Mashu seem a little overwhelmed.

"Of course, don't worry about it. I don't mind."

As if to reassure Mashu, Shuul himself specifically stated that he didn't mind.

Xuel's usual cold remarks undoubtedly gave Mashu a shot in the arm, relaxing her originally tense spirit. After all, although she was no longer on guard, she could not help but feel nervous in front of the other party.

Because of the opponent's strength, the girl was deeply impressed.

Mashu, who had relaxed, then noticed that Shul's temperament at this moment was completely different from before.

Compared to the "sharpness" during the hostile situation, the current Shuul shows more "peace".

If Mashu had met Shul like this for the first time, she would probably have thought of him as just a gentle three-person puppet.

Now Mashu believed the boy's words.

"Huh, so Senior, you are just here to tell Miss Xiuer stories?"

"Well, not entirely, haha..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka laughed dryly. After all, telling stories was just a spur-of-the-moment idea of his.

"Really? If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now, Senior."

"Oh, remember to get some rest."

"Well, goodbye, senior."

The simple episode ended with the two people saying goodbye as usual.
