While Jiang Qiu was focused on listening to the lesson, Kal'tsit, who was waiting in the villa, became somewhat distracted.
Even though she was outwardly enjoying her fragrant coffee in silence, her eyes couldn't help but dart upstairs.
Although she did bring Warfarin and Huang here to deal with the rebellious ones, she also had a slight urge to gossip.
Now that Chen Huijie has been up there for so long without making a sound, it has only fueled my curiosity.
Normally it should be resolved quickly, could there be some special circumstances?
Kal'tsit was lost in thought, and even the cat ears on her head twitched.
Seeing her conflicted expression—curious yet feigning indifference—Warfarin couldn't help but encourage her further.
"How about we go and eavesdrop?"
"It's fine if you don't listen, just send us up. We want to see what's going on."
Chapter 112, Section 113: Artoria's Heart Fluttering and Sense of Redemption
Despite being somewhat tempted by Warfarin's encouragement, Kal'tsit still chose to refuse.
If they get caught, they'll lose face big time and it will seriously damage their image.
Seeing that Kal'tsit remained unmoved, Warfarin, unable to contain her desire, immediately crawled towards the stairwell.
She wanted to see for herself what kind of psychological problems this famous Inspector Chan was experiencing.
If I could find something to use against him and use it to blackmail him, would I still need to be afraid of Kal'tsit?
I'll flip the table sooner or later, take her bird's nest, and let her know who's really in charge of Rhodes Island!
Just as Warfarin was struggling desperately, another figure suddenly rolled past her and stood up against the wall.
To Warfarin's bewildered gaze, Huang chuckled and then tiptoed up the stairs.
"Wait, wait for me!"
"Huang, you can't keep this to yourself! Take me up with you, I want to hear it too!"
"As long as you get me up there, I won't hold it against you for betraying your teammates!"
"really?"
Huang stopped abruptly, staring at the clamoring Warfarin with a suspicious look.
"Really?! I'm not like Kal'tsit, my word is my bond!"
"Then please settle my debt with Kroos."
"You're taking advantage of our misfortune!"
Huang remained silent, continuing to climb upwards as if he no longer cared about her life or death.
Only when they reached the corner and the figure was about to disappear completely from sight did Warfarin grit her teeth and say—
"I'll get married! I'll get married for you!"
"You didn't buy anything ridiculously expensive, did you?"
"Of course not, I'm not that kind of person."
Seeing that Warfarin had given in, Huang Da Mao Mao immediately ran over happily, poked at her with his foot for a while, and managed to lift her up.
As the two hurriedly went upstairs, the pressure now fell on Kal'tsit.
This precarious situation, where she was the only one unable to participate, made her feel as if a cat was scratching at her heart.
How about we just pass by?
Kal'tsit's fluffy cat ears twitched, and she gradually put down the coffee in her hand.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally couldn't resist standing up and tiptoed toward the stairs.
But just as Kal'tsit stepped onto the stairs, two heads suddenly appeared from around the corner, making her freeze in shock.
Warfarin and Huang didn't say much, but they showed a slightly sly and strange smile, as if they had expected it.
Kal'tsit's forehead veins were bulging uncontrollably; she knew she hadn't gone too easy on those two!
But since Fa had already discovered it, she simply stopped pretending and, with a dark face, went upstairs with the two of them to sneak towards Chen Huijie's room.
As the three of them simultaneously leaned out and pressed their ears against the door, Chen Huijie's indistinct voice gradually drifted into their ears—
"But my best friend's friend seemed to really enjoy poaching my boyfriend right in front of my best friend, and she even seemed quite excited about it."
The three people outside the door were immediately shocked upon hearing this. Was this such a shocking piece of gossip right off the bat?!
It's a pity there weren't any snacks like sunflower seeds or peanuts, otherwise it would have sounded even more exciting.
"Specific manifestations?"
“Let me hear from another friend of mine that when I hadn’t arrived yet, my best friend’s boyfriend was doing push-ups, and my best friend just sat on him.”
"She seemed to be in a state of extreme excitement, her tail kept thrashing at the other person, and she almost collapsed."
""
Kal'tsit's fluffy cat ears stood up straight, and her expression became somewhat subtle.
Has the relationship within the Guard Bureau become so complicated and treacherous?
People's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be.
Just as the three people outside were getting more and more engrossed in listening, one of the parties involved on the other side finally finished his morning class.
"Jiang Qiu, want to try the cafeteria?"
"I'll skip it today; my family made a bento box."
"Oh, we'll head over now. Is there anything we can bring you?"
"Bring me a plate of sizzling tofu, medium spicy, that's my favorite."
"Okay~"
Fu Shi happily agreed and then led Lappland and Mordred, who were there to freeload, straight to the cafeteria.
Shortly after they left, before Artoria could even hand over a campus card, Jiang Qiu waved his hand.
"You and Rin can use it. Your family situations are a bit complicated. It's good to use it to eat lunch at school. I have another campus card."
"!!!"
Artoria's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes trembled slightly as she looked at the other person.
This was the first time she'd ever felt such a spark with a guy; he was practically her savior!
The indescribable sense of redemption she felt at that moment almost brought tears to her eyes.
After silently accepting the campus card, Artoria immediately and solemnly swore an oath—
"I have no way to repay your kindness. When I take control of Camelot or my sister makes a comeback, I will surely repay you handsomely!"
"Then I'm looking forward to it."
“I won’t let you down!”
After saying goodbye to Jiang Qiu, Artoria and Rin Tohsaka rushed to the cafeteria at an unprecedented speed.
Wherever his figure passed, he left behind a trail of afterimages, leaving the passing students stunned.
How hungry must someone be to run that fast?
Meanwhile, the students from other classes also noticed Artoria's unusual behavior, and their eyes immediately sharpened.
Although I don't know why this guy went all in on his living expenses and still ran so fast, following him is definitely the right thing to do!
Within the Camelot Group family, no one is allowed to hog all the profits!
Artoria and Rin, who were running wildly, naturally noticed that there were several tails behind them, and their hearts sank.
Even though I ran fast enough, I was still discovered!
Left with no other choice, Artoria could only slip the school card into Rin Tohsaka's hand.
"Just say I came to the cafeteria to freeload off your food, and whatever you do, don't reveal Jiang Qiu's name."
"Don't worry, I don't want so many competitors vying for my salary."
Rin Tohsaka nodded solemnly.
If those guys are even more willing to go all out than I am, my resolve not to be greedy will be seriously shaken!
She didn't even dare to think about what would happen under such intense competition!
We must nip the problem in the bud from the very beginning!
As the two reached an agreement and stepped into the cafeteria, the eyes of the boys with ahoge (cowlicks) following behind lit up, and they quickened their pace considerably.
Chapter 113, Section 114: Artoria: How can this guy be such a good actor?!
After Artoria and Rin Tohsaka finished buying their food and sat down, they were unsurprisingly surrounded by the ahoge (antenna-like hair sticks).
A series of fierce, hungry eyes were fixed on the fragrant food in front of them, and their rationality was rapidly evaporating.
If they weren't still concerned about the other party's financial situation, they probably would have already lost control.
"Didn't you say you'd gone all in on your living expenses? What's this now?"
“This was given to me by Rin.”
The ahoge (cowlicks) were taken aback upon hearing this, then looked towards Rin Tohsaka with great hope.
In response to them, Rin Tohsaka's eyes instantly reddened.
Before she could even speak, the other person choked up, explaining with heartbreaking sorrow—
"This is also my last meal."
"After my family went bankrupt, we couldn't even keep our last villa. I'm now homeless and living on the streets."
"The boss at my workplace was kind-hearted and took me in, providing me with food and lodging. Although life was tough, I managed to survive."
"This meal is my last savings; consider it a farewell ceremony to remember the wealthy days of the past."
"After today, I won't ask for so much anymore. Just being alive is enough."
""
Hei Dai and the others fell silent upon hearing this, some even wishing they could turn back time and kill themselves for having been greedy just now.
Damn me!
Rin is in such a sorry state, and he's still thinking about freeloading!
The ahoge (cowlicks) looked at each other, all understanding each other's meaning, and then silently left their positions.
When they returned, they all brought instant noodles, compressed biscuits, eight-treasure porridge and other fast food products, which they piled up in front of Rin.
"There's not much we can do, but this is just a small token of our appreciation."
"Just hold on a little longer. When one of us inherits Camelot's legacy, we'll find a way to help you."
"Thank you, thank you."
Rin Tohsaka forced out a few tears, looking at her ahoge (cowlicks) with deep emotion.
Artoria, standing to the side, watched this scene in utter shock, her worldview being challenged like never before.
How dare they do this?!
Rin's acting skills are ridiculously good!
Under her incredulous gaze, Hei Dai and the others forcefully suppressed their desire for the food and obediently left the area.
After confirming that they had gone far away, Artoria asked suspiciously—
"Rin, you haven't played me before, have you?"
"Of course, we're like sisters. I'm just fooling those guys. We're the real sisters on the same side."
Rin Tohsaka answered with a sincere expression, looking genuinely empathetic.
But the more she acted this way, the more suspicious Artoria became.
After all, the other party's superb acting skills were still fresh in everyone's mind!
However, her attention was more focused on the snacks that Blackie and the others had handed over.
