Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

But just as he was about to make his announcement, a female voice suddenly interrupted him.

Hearing this familiar voice, the boy gave Arash an apologetic smile before turning around.

As expected, the person who came was Mashu who had separated from him and the others.

After touring the entire village and discussing the previous topic with Bedivere for a while, the purple-haired girl began to look for Fujimaru Ritsuka who was with the child.

Fortunately, the village was not big and it was quite dark, so the villagers had already gone back to their houses to sleep.

It is not difficult to find the boy.

But when the girl found the boy, she discovered that there was a strange young man standing next to him.

Mashu slowly walked up to the boy and looked at him questioningly.

"good evening."

Although there were doubts in my heart, I still showed proper courtesy.

It's a bit too late to say "good evening" now.

After greeting the stranger, the girl asked her companion:

"Excuse me, who is this...?"

When asking this question, Mashu's eyes were fixed on the man in front of her.

While questioning the boy, it seemed as if he was also questioning the man.

Arash simply glanced at the armor on the girl and didn't take it seriously. Just as he had said before, since the guests were brought in by "Hassan", there was no need to suspect these people.

"Good evening. You can call me Arash. What should I call you, Your Excellency?"

Arash didn't care about the interruption of the topic. After all, their conversation just now was just idle chat.

And his purpose in approaching the boy was indeed just to have a casual chat.

However, he could tell that the girl in front of him seemed to be a "Servant", but compared to a real "Servant", this girl's situation seemed a little different.

"Arash?!"

Well, after hearing this name, Mashu showed the same reaction as Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Just like the boy just now, Mashu's eyes widened immediately.

"That legendary 'great hero' Arash?!"

Fortunately, compared to the boy, Mashu was able to immediately suppress her excitement.

"Haha, it's indeed me."

But the words that came out of her mouth made Arash feel a little helpless.

It's a bit embarrassing to be called a "great hero" in person.

"Ahem, my name is Mashu, it's an honor to meet you."

Compared to Fujimaru Ritsuka who was a little reserved after knowing the name, the girl's reaction was pretty good.

"I wonder if my sudden intervention disturbed your conversation?"

Mashu asked cautiously, because before she called out to the boy, she noticed that the two seemed to be talking about something.

"It's nothing. Fujimaru-kun and I were just chatting."

Arash waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine, and then he turned his gaze back to the direction the girl came from.

"By the way, where did the knight you were with go?"

He still remembered that when he was helping to vacate the room, the girl named "Mashu" was still talking to a silver-armed knight.

Now, the former has arrived here, but the knight has disappeared.

"Mr. Bedivere said he wanted to see the night view of the mountains again, so I came back to find Senior."

It was Mashu who answered him. After all, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had been acting alone from the beginning, didn't know where the knight had gone.

The reason why the Chaldeans were confident in letting the boy act alone was not only because the village was managed by "Hassan", but also because of the equipment provided by Shul and Roman in Chaldea who was monitoring the boy's condition in real time.

It can be said that as long as Fujimaru Ritsuka encounters "something", Shuul can immediately provide support.

Therefore, they could all let the boy act alone without worry.

Of course, this kind of "peace of mind" is only limited to safe areas.

"Don't worry, Mr. Arash. Mr. Bedivere is near the village, and he is different from those knights of the Holy City."

Mashu hastily added an explanation, seemingly mistaking Arash for being on guard against the other party.

Arash, who has always been kind to others, couldn't help but feel helpless about this. The other party was not an enemy, so how could he suspect someone for no reason?

"Don't worry, I'm just curious about the knight's whereabouts. I don't suspect he has any ill intentions."

Arash's soothing efforts worked, probably because of his amiable demeanor, which made Mashu believe his words.

"But speaking of which, you came here to ask this village to accept the refugees you rescued, right?"

"Ah."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded. He did not doubt how the other party knew this. Most likely, it was those "Hassans" who told him.

"Haha, being able to lend a helping hand to a total stranger makes you no different from a hero."

Arash smiled and patted the boy's shoulder.

There was no falsehood in his words; they truly came from his heart.

"what?"

"Hero or something..."

Ritsuka Fujimaru scratched the link, his slightly red face showing his inner shyness.

"Young man, there's no need to be shy."

The boy's expression was very clear, and Arash could tell what he was thinking just by looking at him.

He still smiled at this and continued to express his thoughts.

"I don't really understand what a 'hero' is, but I think anyone who does what's right when it's time to do it qualifies as one of them."

"In my opinion, your willingness to lend a helping hand to those refugees is worthy of this title. After all, if I were you, I would do the same."

"Ahaha, really..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka could only smile politely. Arash's words were very straightforward and easy to understand.

But that was why he felt even more shy, and Mashu felt the same way.

After realizing that his remarks seemed to make both of them a little embarrassed, Arash finally dropped the topic.

He looked up and glanced at the sky again.

"Let's stop here for tonight."

As he said this, the black-haired man turned sideways and prepared to leave.

"It's so late, you'd better get some rest. There are still vacancies in the houses in the village. Do you need me to take you there?"

Arash's words brought the boy back to his senses, but neither Fujimaru Ritsuka nor Mashu wanted to trouble the other too much.

"Don't bother Mr. Arash. We've already arranged a place for you to rest. Now we have to wait until our companions finish their 'work'."

"Yeah, I'm the same as my predecessor."

"Is that so? See you tomorrow then."

Arash nodded and waved goodbye to the two.

The boy and Mashu also waved gently at each other's backs.

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Chapter 47: The Confused Man

In the end, Leonardo used his superb dialogue skills and successfully gained the trust of the three vigilant "Hassans" with the joint efforts of the three.

Found a place for these refugees.

It's really gratifying, gratifying and congratulatory.

The above is a summary of Leonardo da Vinci’s autobiography.

"How about it, I'm awesome, right?"

She looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu in front of her, and the expression on her face seemed to be expecting praise from them.

"Oh ↑ You really are worthy of being Da Vinci."

clap clap-

Because it was late at night, Fujimaru Ritsuka only clapped softly.

Facing the smug "genius" before him, the young man offered heartfelt praise.

Although Mashu, who was standing next to him, was not as excited as the former, the expression on her face was enough to reveal her affirmation of Leonardo da Vinci.

"That's great. The problem of where these refugees should go has been solved."

Mashu was also sincerely grateful that those innocent people had successfully found a place to go.

Although the living environment is not good, it is at least better than wandering aimlessly in the wilderness full of dangers.

The two men did not doubt the truthfulness of each other's words. They truly trusted this lady who often provided them with help.

After all, before the sixth singularity, although it was the first time that Leonardo da Vinci personally went into a singularity with himself and others, in every previous singularity trip, this "genius" worked with Dr. Roman to provide advice to the two young people.

It can be said that in addition to their own efforts, their success today is also due to the help of Da Vinci, Dr. Roman and a group of Chaldea logistics staff.

Due to various factors, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu developed absolute trust in this gentle lady.

"..."

Shule stood silently behind Leonardo da Vinci and listened to the entire story he told.

Although it has been "modified" to a certain extent, the overall content is not much different from the truth.

That's why he remained silent and didn't refute.

In addition, the people who were involved in the negotiations just now are still here.

"Hahaha, Ms. Da Vinci's words are really interesting. I have to admire your eloquence."

Hassan the Cursed Wrist chuckled softly but did not deny Da Vinci's words.

Because his thoughts were the same as Xuer's, what the other party said was indeed not much different from the facts.

As for some deviations, they are just artistic modifications.

For some reason, after returning to the village, neither Hassan the Hundred Faces nor Hassan the Smoky Drunk wanted to continue to contact the Chaldean group for the time being.

The moment the meeting ended, both of them gave different reasons and left quickly.

So right now, only Hassan the Cursed-Arm is left here.

Although no one explained it, everyone present could see that the two "Hassans" were deliberately staying away from the seemingly ordinary puppet with expressionless face.

Of course, this kind of thing is not a big deal.

Maybe it's just because they have personally experienced each other's strength, which has caused them to feel a little tired, so they are temporarily avoiding each other.

In Zhuwan's opinion, Yanzui and Baimao would probably be able to regain their good mood the next morning.

"But sir, please don't forget the 'deal' between us."

Yes, in the negotiations just now, the three "Hassans" unanimously agreed to accept the refugees.

But just as Yanzui said before, although they offered help, the increasingly serious food problem was constantly affecting the village.

So, after agreeing to accept refugees, they also proposed a "deal".

However, this so-called "transaction" is actually no different from "entrustment".

It’s not that they want to take advantage of the hard work for free because they think the Chaldeans are “good people”, but the current situation forces them to seek help from outsiders.
