Especially after getting Jiang Qiu's campus card, he became so arrogant that he seemed to have no idea what the world was like.
Right now, this thing dares to dream of being Superman; they don't even dare to imagine what it will dare to do next!
Gouzi and Mozai originally wanted to give her a good scolding so that she would realize her mistake and turn back from the wrong path, but unfortunately the breakfast she bought with her card was too delicious.
Next time! Next time they will definitely speak out for justice!
After taking a vicious bite of their deluxe rice ball, the two faithfully echoed Fu Shi's praise.
As they were coaxing the dog, it seemed to notice something, and its eyes suddenly sharpened.
"Isn't that Saber and Rin Tohsaka? Why are they at school with Jiang Qiu?"
"Ok?"
Mordred looked in the direction she pointed and was stunned when he saw the two familiar figures.
Artoria couldn't stand Morgan's oppression and turned to Jiang Qiu for help.
Are you so decisive?
Just as she was about to send a message to Black Saber and the others to ask about the situation, Artoria seemed to suddenly sense the hidden danger, and her fierce and hungry eyes immediately glared at her.
Mordred's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and he instinctively stuffed it back into his pocket.
In an instant, all the oppressive and threatening feeling vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
Artoria secretly breathed a sigh of relief after realizing she had intimidated the other party.
Damn it, I was so focused on keeping it from those starving ghosts that I almost forgot about this one who slipped through the net.
I need to find an opportunity to confront him later and give him a proper explanation to prevent the secret from being exposed.
Before she could even pull out her phone to send Mo Zai a threatening message, Jiang Qiu's voice drifted over from the side—
"Have you guys had breakfast yet? Want to grab something to eat around the school gate? It's on me."
"Can, is it okay?"
Artoria looked at Jiang Qiu with deep emotion; the radiance emanating from him was almost too much for her to bear.
This guy is practically Camelot's savior!
"A few meals now and then won't bankrupt my family."
Jiang Qiu smiled and led the incredibly expectant Artoria straight towards the food court.
He also noticed the dogs and others by the roadside, and cheerfully waved and greeted them.
While Lappland and the others responded, Fu Shi seemed somewhat dazed.
Looking at Jiang Qiu's figure, she vaguely remembered that something terrible seemed to have happened in her dream.
But upon closer reflection, she couldn't remember, which only made her feel restless and uneasy, like being scratched by a cat.
What happened in my dream?
After racking her brains to no avail, she had no choice but to give up, grumbling as she munched on the fried rice cake in her hand.
As Mordred watched them enter the store, she seemed to suddenly realize something was amiss, and her eyes narrowed instantly.
its not right!
Based on where Artoria and Rin Tohsaka originally lived, they couldn't walk together with Jiang Qiu before they came to school.
Today, however, they came from the same direction together.
An incredible possibility suddenly flooded Mordred's mind.
Before she could even send a message to confirm the situation, Artoria's message arrived first—
"Don't tell anyone else that Rin and I went to work at Jiang Qiu's house."
"work to earn a living?"
Mo Zai's lips twitched as he realized he had guessed wrong, and his excitement subsided.
I thought it was some kind of juicy gossip, but it turns out it's just a simple job. What's the point of hiding it?
Mordred rolled her eyes, but didn't think much of it. After chatting with Fu Shi Lappland for a while, they walked together towards the school.
Meanwhile, Artoria, inside the store, couldn't wait to pick up the huge, deluxe beef noodle soup that had just been served.
Add extra beef, fried egg, offal, braised egg, and large beef bone.
Looking at the incredibly lavish breakfast, and thinking back to the hard times she had endured recently, Artoria's eyes reddened.
Damn Morgan, I'll get rid of her sooner or later!
Right now, eating is the most important thing!
Just as she picked up her chopsticks, ready to fill her empty stomach, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of several figures appearing by the roadside, and her expression suddenly changed.
The next second, under Rin Tohsaka's subtle gaze, this guy picked up the bowl and strolled to the far corner of the shop, looking like he was on high alert.
"We're not going to fight you for it; we don't have that kind of appetite."
Rin Tohsaka said irritably, "With that terrifyingly large bowl of hers, you could choke to death."
However, Artoria gestured for her to be quiet and looked towards the outside of the shop.
Rin Tohsaka, realizing what was happening, turned her head and was shocked to see Saber Alter and the others walking towards the store.
Oh no, Artoria is doomed.
Unaware that their kind had defied fate, Black Saber and the others noticed Rin Tohsaka and greeted her with smiles.
Before they could say anything, they suddenly seemed to sense the presence of a traitor, and their expressions immediately turned serious.
As his gaze swept across the store, he finally locked onto a figure hiding in a corner.
When their gaze fell upon the enormous, luxurious bowl of beef noodles in front of them, bright, friendly smiles immediately appeared on their faces.
Without saying a word, they immediately sat down next to each other, adopting the intimate posture of family members.
"Hey, do you remember three years ago on New Year's Eve, when you were starving, I shared a bag of potato chips with you?"
"That's because you ate all the late-night snacks at home, so I didn't find any."
"I'm different from her. I gave you a huge cake for your birthday back then!"
"The cake all ended up in other people's stomachs."
"When you were a kid, you were riding a horse and fell headfirst. I was the one who protected you and saved your life."
“I remember. Take my life after I finish eating my noodles.”
"Why the hell would I want your life?!"
Seeing that Artoria was completely unmoved by reason, the other guys with ahoge were itching to try it.
But they soon realized something was wrong—
"Where did you get so much money for living expenses to order such a fancy beef noodle soup?"
"What deal did you make with Morgan?!"
Chapter 108, Question 109: Artoria: How come Rin's salary is higher than mine?!
"I've put all my remaining living expenses into the game."
"???"
Upon hearing Artoria's answer, Alter and the others all showed expressions of disbelief.
Has this guy finally gone completely insane from hunger?
Just for this one meal, you're going to give up on life?!
Seeing how intimidated these guys were, Artoria continued her rambling, munching on her beef while maintaining a serious expression.
"I have found a job."
"But to avoid going hungry again like before, I can't continue to live such a leisurely life."
"I'm putting myself in a do-or-die situation, abandoning everything to devote myself wholeheartedly to my work, striving to break free from Morgan's control as soon as possible and achieve financial and dietary freedom."
Everyone was deeply shocked as they looked at Artoria's resolute expression, and they couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
If this guy is willing to go to such lengths, how can I just stop here?
Fight!
I must break free from Morgan's clutches and fight for the life that belongs to me!
In an instant, the morale of everyone present became incredibly high, as if they were about to overthrow Camelot and establish their own independent entity.
Even so, they did not forget the purpose of their trip—
"Let us have a taste too."
"Don't even think about it!"
"Is the bond of blood ties between family members not as strong as a bowl of noodles?"
"It really can't compare."
""
Just as the group of foodies were at an impasse, the expressions of Rin Tohsaka and the others became somewhat subtle.
The situation of these people is even more dire than I imagined.
"Won't they fight over a bowl of noodles?"
Hongxia asked nervously, and moved closer to Jiang Qiu, afraid that the bowl might fly over and hit her.
"It wouldn't be like that outside, but if it were at home, they would have been fighting each other by now."
“When I visited them before, they would fight tooth and nail over how to wrap fresh shrimp chips.”
Rin Tohsaka shrugged and said, "These guys are already being very restrained."
After saying that, she silently sped up her eating, afraid that those other animals would miss out and try to take what was hers later.
Jiang Qiu and the others were stunned, and they also sped up their eating.
When they finished breakfast and were about to leave, Black Saber and the others still hadn't managed to get a bite to eat from Artoria.
Even the soup was completely drunk, making Artoria's ahoge (cowlick) sway comfortably.
Staring intently at this ungrateful figure, Hei Dai and the others were seething with hatred.
As they looked at each other, they understood each other's meaning.
Tonight we're going to raid Saber's hideout; we absolutely have to get some food out of her!
Having made up their minds, they didn't linger and left the scene together, grumbling to themselves.
When Jiang Qiu and the others arrived at the classroom, Mordred, unable to contain his curiosity, immediately asked his deskmate about the situation.
"Hey, did those two really go to work for you?"
"Wow, they're really working hard, taking on a ton of jobs."
"Hey~ I thought you guys had made some kind of shady deal, you scared me."
"Don't overthink it, it's just classmates helping each other out."
Jiang Qiu lightly tapped the guy on the head with a chop.
Mordred didn't pay any attention, but glanced thoughtfully at Artoria's side, and then tentatively asked a question.
"What are the specific benefits like there? I want to go too!"
"Stop joking, you're not going there to work, you're clearly going there to freeload and enjoy yourself."
Jiang Qiu rolled her eyes at this girl, instantly exposing her little scheme.
The situation with the girls with the ahoge and Rin Tohsaka is more critical, so at least they work diligently. This guy, on the other hand, has no worries about food or drink, so he just makes do.
Upon hearing this, Mordred pouted and immediately slumped onto the table, grumbling unhappily.
But its eyes were darting around, clearly plotting something rather unpleasant.
After a long silence, as if she had thought of something, she lowered her voice and asked—
"Where's your job posting? Can I take a look? I'm curious about the details."
