【19】King Arthur is such a big-bellied king!
After the discussion, we had dinner. The newly hired chef was very skilled and courageous. He was not afraid of being bombed to death one day, so he happily cooked a bunch of dishes and served them.
Just as she was about to sit down, Natasha suddenly remembered and turned to Artoria out of curiosity: "Artoria... If I remember correctly, you haven't eaten today, have you?"
During the two previous days of being monitored, food was delivered on time, and Artoria ate it cleanly... But today, from morning to now, Artoria hasn't eaten anything.
Arturia had no reaction to this, and just said nonchalantly: "No need to mind, as a living person, I can survive and fight without eating food."
Steve frowned and said before others tried to persuade him: "Pendragon, I don't think your behavior is right." He paused and looked at the Avengers around him who all showed approval. So he stretched out his hand and touched Artoria's head with a smile. "You have to know that you are a companion to us - we hope that you are the same as us - er, equal?"
Artoria was stunned for a moment and then her expression softened. She understood what Steve said.
This kind of existence is the same as a tool in the Holy Grail War. It is a feeling that r does not need to take into account, so as long as he always protects r and follows the fight, it will be fine. There is no need to worry about eating and using these.
However, the Avengers do not understand the Holy Grail War or the significance of r. They simply judged "" literally as an existence inferior to "r", so they tried to make Artoria understand that she was equal to them.
...Even if you voluntarily want to be used as a tool in order to obtain the Holy Grail and fulfill your wish, you must still expect to be treated like a human being.
And now, that's exactly what the Avengers are doing.
...What a precious sincerity.
The Avengers only felt that Artoria's whole body softened, and then she tilted her head slightly and smiled: "Then, can I have dinner with you?"
Natasha blinked: "Of course, it's our honor."
Hawkeye was already sitting at the dining table: "I think you would be willing to try our food? Believe me, this is definitely much better than the food in Great Britain at your time - if I had known, Britain is still called It’s a country where dark dishes are everywhere.”
Tony knocked on the table directly: "Hey - what are you waiting for? Eat quickly, I'm hungry!"
Arturia burst out laughing, then put down her arrogance and joined the queue casually.
Hawkeye thinks it's quite strange. It's okay for everyone to eat together, but there are usually one or two absent... It's rare to see everyone like this...
Thinking this, he raised his head and glanced around——
The girl took big gulps of rice at a speed that could see the afterimage, and moved the plate in her hand from the table to her mouth. Finally, Artoria finished the food in a few strokes, and forked it with a speed that was hardly noticeable. Start the dishes, wait until you fork a full plate silently, and then repeat the cooking process again...
With a "clang" sound, the knife in Hawkeye's hand accidentally fell from his hand and fell on the table. Facing everyone's focused attention, Hawkeye silently picked up his chopsticks and began to eat in a muffled voice.
Steve frowned, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything; Tony mocked unceremoniously: "Wow~ What's wrong with you, are you regressing again?"
It was rare that Hawkeye didn't quarrel with Tony Stark, and just silently picked up vegetables and ate.
Natasha looked thoughtfully at the place where Hawkeye was looking before... hmm, Artoria?
Then she saw Arturia silently wrapping up a plate of food and still eating.
Natasha: "..." I really didn't expect that.
She didn't speak at first, and just tried her best to pick up the food, and bumped her elbow into Bruce Banner, who was eating slowly and distractedly.
To fill your stomach! Stop being so slow!
Bruce Banner was stunned, then looked at Natasha, and then looked at Artoria with Natasha's gaze.
Oh, I got it.
Bruce Banner also silently speeded up his eating.
Steve unexpectedly found that everyone seemed to be particularly supportive this time? At a glance, everyone is eating rice, looking at the usually gentle Dr. Banner, looking at Hawkeye, looking at Natasha, looking at Artoria... ugh!
I don't know why, but seeing Artoria's heroic eating posture, Steve felt inexplicably hungry.
When the reserved Tony was about to add some more dishes, he saw that almost all the dishes had been swept away.
Tony: What about friend love? Why haven't I seen you guys eat so well?
But even though Tony wanted to complain, he just sighed and said: "What did you do today? You are so hungry."
He was answered by everyone's innocent looks.
Then Hawkeye accidentally burped...
This is so fucking embarrassing.
Tony thought for a moment, then winked at Artoria and asked, "How about Lily? The food here is much better than the food you had in Great Britain."
So why did you suddenly call me Lily... Arturia was silent for a moment and forced to ignore the question, raised her head and smiled, her whole body seemed to be glowing: "It's very delicious!!"
The next day, the food for dinner was doubled.
Somewhere in the seawater in New York unknown to the Avengers, a bearded man was squatting in the shallow water talking like a mental patient.
He is Arthur Curry, a hybrid born from humans and Atlanteans. The King of Atlantis, the Overlord of the Seven Seas, holds the trident that symbolizes the throne of Atlantis and can give orders to all creatures in the ocean.
However, this time he found that the trident didn't seem so... useful?
"Enough!" he shouted in a low voice. "Tell me what's going on in New York!"
The water elf in New York was dangling in the water: "She's back! She's back!"
Arthur Curry stabbed down hard with his trident and said angrily: "What on earth are you celebrating?!"
As if for the sake of his pity, the water elf in New York finally answered him: "Celebrate the arrival of King Arthur!!"
Arthur Curry: "..."
No, I didn’t expect you to like me so much.
