Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Seeing that it was getting dark, Fujimaru Ritsuka touched his stomach and felt helpless.

"I ended up chatting for so long without noticing."

"Hey, everyone."

Just then, a voice came from the side, and several people looked in the direction of the sound.

Then, the figure of a certain archer swaggered into everyone's sight.

Arash stood aside with a big smile on his face.

In his hand he was holding a scarlet longbow. Judging from his appearance, he was obviously preparing to investigate the situation at the edge of the village and happened to pass by here.

After raising his hand to say hello, Arash walked up to the few people in a leisurely manner.

"Good evening everyone, what are you talking about at this time?"

"Good evening, it's Mr. Arash. We are discussing tomorrow's arrangements."

Facing this great hero, Fujimaru Ritsuka told him without any hesitation what he and others had just talked about.

"Good evening, Lord Arash."

Seeing Arash coming, Bedivere also showed a bright smile on his face.

After all, it was the person in front of him who had enlightened him and helped him figure things out before.

"Really? You're leaving tomorrow?"

"That's about right. Besides, we probably won't come back after we leave the village this time."

Thinking about his and others' arrangements for tomorrow, Fujimaru Ritsuka said this.

"That's it."

Arash smiled. Although he had not been in contact with Chaldea and others for a long time, he still had a good impression of this sunny and cheerful boy.

However, the news that several people were about to leave did not affect his mood, because in his view, the meeting and separation between people were inevitable and there was no need to feel sad about it.

"In that case, young man, shouldn't you go and rest?"

"After all, it's getting late. I don't want to look drowsy when we set out tomorrow."

Arash smiled and patted the boy's shoulder.

"Well, I get it. Why do you say the same thing to me, Mr. Da Vinci, Mr. Bedivere, and even Mr. Arash?"

"I'm not a child."

In the end, Fujimaru Ritsuka only complained a few times symbolically.

"That's all, I'm going to rest now, see you all tomorrow."

Finally, under the joint urging of everyone, the young man left here reluctantly.

Seeing this situation and confirming that nothing was wrong, Xiuer immediately prepared to leave.

But when he had just taken a few steps, Leonardo da Vinci, who had been talking and laughing before, suddenly stopped smiling and looked at him seriously.

"Please wait a moment, Shuul-chan, I want to ask you something."

……

Chapter 61: Victim Plus One

"Please wait a moment, Shul-chan, I have something to ask you."

Da Vinci's tone was serious, and it seemed that she took this issue very seriously.

"...?"

After hearing this, Xiuer stopped and looked sideways at Da Vinci.

Then he saw that not only Leonardo da Vinci, but even Arash next to him suddenly had the same expression, and it seemed that he, like the former, also had something to ask Xuer.

Only Bedivere looked at his two companions who had suddenly changed their expressions with a confused look on his face.

He didn't seem to understand what was happening.

Seeing the expressions of the three people, Xiuer couldn't help but feel confused.

"What's the matter?"

"I heard from Miss Yanzui that you went to meet the first generation Hassan earlier."

There's no need for any twists and turns when talking to this puppet.

Leonardo da Vinci, who was aware of this, did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"affim."

Xiuer didn't care about Yanzui's behavior of revealing his itinerary to others.

Anyway, even if she didn't say it, Xuer would tell it without hiding anything when his companions asked.

But he was also a little curious that Leonardo da Vinci would actually ask him about this.

"You, really are..."

The genius was frustrated by the puppet's honesty.

She held her chin, looking like she wanted to say something but didn't know how.

It seemed that he was left speechless by the former's indifferent tone, which sounded like "Where did you go today?"

You know, when Yanzui revealed to himself and others that this puppet actually went alone to meet the first generation Hassan, even though Da Vinci was relieved, he couldn't help but worry about the other party.

They had never seen the first generation Hassan, nor did they know the specific strength of this existence.

The unknown existence, all its information sources are only from Yanzui's mouth, and Yanzui does not want to reveal too much information to others.

However, what Leonardo was worried about was not Shul's "safety" but his "behavior".

Anyone who has come into contact with this doll will be shocked by its disregard for other people's feelings.

Most normal people would probably feel more or less resentful because of their behavior.

That's why she was worried that Xuul would do something overly offensive when he came into contact with the first generation Hassan.

It was precisely because of this concern that the genius called out to Xiuer. His purpose was naturally to ask about the details of what happened in order to prepare in advance for possible diplomatic accidents.

After all, the Hassans' faith in the First Generation was visible to the naked eye. Although they were all afraid to meet them, they all admired the First Generation very much.

"Hahaha, it seems that this Lord Shule's personality is really quite unique."

Arash, who was standing by, took a look at the atmosphere at the scene. He couldn't help laughing at Shuul's calm reaction and Da Vinci's speechless expression.

"I've heard a lot about your deeds before, but as the saying goes, seeing is believing. Rather than just hearing about it, I really need to experience it in person."

In this team, perhaps only Xiuer has no connection with him at the moment.

The "quite a few people" mentioned by the latter refer to people like Fujimaru Ritsuka, Bedivere, and several "Hassans" who have had contact with the dolls.

After all, since arriving in the mountain village, he is different from Fujimaru Ritsuka and Da Vinci who have been in contact with him in the village at any time.

Shuul, who has always been in "working state", rarely stays in the village, so naturally he has little contact with Arash who stays in the village.

As for the impression of this doll, the latter is mostly heard from other people who have had contact with the doll.

There are differences and similarities in everyone's description of Shuul.

Everyone agrees that this Shuul is notoriously difficult to get along with.

Even Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was the first to meet him, showed helplessness many times when he told Arash about Shuul.

This situation made the latter extremely interested in this puppet that everyone was talking about.

"Is this our first official meeting?"

Arash held his chin in thought.

After all, as far as he could remember, he had never had any contact with this cold-faced "girl" before.

"affim."

Xiuer nodded.

Since entering the village, he deployed a drone to observe the environment, and the presence of this archer naturally came into his field of vision.

However, that was only a one-sided acquaintance, and the two of them only met "officially" now.

"Are you also curious about my contact with the first generation Hassan?"

Xiuer had no intention of wasting his breath. He could see that the other party, like Leonardo da Vinci, had something to say.

Although they did have plenty of time to chat, Xuel was obviously not the type who liked to waste time talking.

The puppet's cold voice startled Arash slightly. He didn't expect the other party to choose to get straight to the point.

Cold but twilight descended from the sky, covering the slender figure with a black cloak.

A pair of golden "discs" hung in the air, and their indifferent eyes, devoid of any emotion, poured a bucket of cold water on Arash, who was still eager to chat.

Xiuer's remarks without any regard for other people's feelings froze the smile on the face of the originally sunny black-haired young man.

"Oops~"

Now it was Leonardo's turn to laugh.

Although it may not be nice to say this, she always finds it very interesting when she sees someone being humiliated in front of Xiuer because of his personality.

Although Bedivere on the side did not laugh out loud, his face was full of helplessness.

The originally awkward atmosphere was now filled with joy.

After all, everyone present was one of the victims of the puppet, and the other two could empathize with Arash's feelings.

"Ahahaha... Your Excellency is right. I am indeed here for this matter. After all, I have never heard of the first generation Hassan before."

Arash laughed dryly, his eyes fixed on the puppet that exuded a cold aura.

"Out of curiosity, I just want to learn more about that existence from you, Your Excellency."

"But this is just a 'by the way', not the main reason."

"Ok?"

Shuul blinked, his golden eyes looking at Arash calmly.

"Although meeting you here is indeed accidental, I had originally intended to make contact with you, Your Excellency."

Arash ignored the doll's outwardly cold expression and looked at the other person with a smile.

"After all, you caused chaos in that holy city, something even the Lion King couldn't do anything about."

"He was the kindhearted man who brought the refugees here, rescued Miss Jingyi, and helped solve the village's problems, allowing Mr. Tawara Tota to repeat his master-disciple relationship."

Just like reading out the names of dishes, Arash recounted Shuul's deeds so far in one breath, with admiration expressed in his expression and face.

"I really want to get in touch with such a powerful and kind-hearted person."

The young man's excitement moved Leonardo da Vinci and Bedivere beside him.

"..."

After hearing this, Xiu frowned in confusion.

That slightly childish face looks particularly cute against this expression.

But this cuteness was greatly weakened by his eyes that reflected endless coldness.

The end result is that it looks a little impatient.

This kind of behavior made Arash, who originally wanted to chat casually, suddenly confused.

The mood he had just adjusted himself to was ruined by the puppet's performance.

He couldn't help but start to wonder, did he step on the opponent's landmine?

However, Shul's silence did not last long, so Arash did not continue to be confused.

"Understand, now you have met me and have performed the act of 'communication' with me."

"Conclusion, your goal has been achieved."

"Ask, do you need to take the next step?"
