Little C's Devotion / Keep Me Fed for the Rest of My Life

After interacting with numerous Heroic Spirits, Fujimaru Ritsuka had long since lost any idol-like aura towards these historically renowned figures, and she was quite adept at making jokes with them.

"Speaking of which, Miss Artoria here isn't the son of the Red Dragon, but rather... Paradise Fairy?"

I remember saying something like that?

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Gwen with curiosity.

"Yes, Paradise Fairy from the Inner Sea of Stars, born with a mission."

However, this isn't exactly a happy identity.

If Artoria is willing in the Artoria, you can ask her directly.

Gwen sighed softly.

As they spoke, the three of them arrived outside the ward where Artoria was resting.

After knocking on the door and entering the room, the three of them saw Artoria still sitting on the hospital bed.

"How are you feeling, Lily?"

"Your Remembrance wasn't affected, was it?"

"Yes, I'm feeling better than ever before!"

Artoria, unusually free of the cautiousness she had developed due to her previous living environment, spoke quite boldly.

However, the very next moment after Artoria finished speaking—

"Gurgle—"

A crisp sound, loud enough to draw the attention of the entire street, rang out from under the covers, instantly shattering Artoria's forced confidence. She awkwardly clutched her stomach—

"Heh, you've helped me out so much, Lily, you must be hungry. Eat something..."

Seeing the girl's shy expression, Gwen chuckled and took out two small plates of cakes, pushing them in front of her.

Feeling ravenously hungry, Artoria took the food and put it in her mouth without any resistance, her eyes widening immediately—

Of course, Gwen didn't poison the food like the goblins; it was just that the sweet and delightful taste instantly won over the country goblins who had suffered for over a decade.

Chapter 685 Little C-dai's Longing

Just as the girl was regaining her rare confidence, her wretched stomach betrayed her, declaring that she needed to eat.

This courageous declaration made the fairy girl blush instantly, feeling as hot as the furnace fire in the forge.

Subconsciously accepting the pastries Gwen offered and devouring them made Artoria feel as if her life as a fairy was over, and she dared not look at the people in front of her bed, especially Gwen.

Seeing that even the fairy girl's long, pointed elven ears were completely red, Gwyn knew she was extremely Gwen. Although he was amused, he didn't just watch the show; instead, he adopted a thoughtful expression.

"Speaking of which, when the concept of the Holy Sword was extracted from your body, Artoria, a huge amount of magic power was injected into you. However, in the process, your body also completed its conceptual development, becoming a fully-fledged Paradise Fairy, and thus evolving into the Holy Sword Fairy who guards the Holy Sword."

After this transformation, your body will feel empty, and it's normal to want to eat..."

"Huh?"

The country fairy Artoria raised her flushed face in surprise and looked at Gwen, her eyes wide with astonishment—

It's not that she's embarrassed, but that this is a normal reaction?

The fairy eyes that could see into people's hearts had no effect on Gwen. Artoria was already extremely embarrassed, looked at Gwen's serious expression and almost subconsciously wanted to believe Gwen's nonsense.

"Speaking of which, this amount of pastries probably isn't enough, is it?"

"Why don't we go to the cafeteria? They have food reserves there; it should be enough for you Artoria, to replenish your energy."

Looking into the girl's pure eyes, untouched by the pollution of knowledge, Gwen even felt a pang of guilt, as if he had tricked a little girl into looking at goldfish, but he still spoke seriously.

What I just brought out were small desserts that Rita made for him, meant to be savored, not for Artoria to gnaw on like a cow.

"Yes, yes, I need a lot of food to make up for the deficit, that's it!"

Hearing Gwen's words, although she didn't completely believe them, Artoria became excited due to her empty stomach, and her flushed face showed a hint of enthusiasm.

However, when Artoria jumped off the bed and her gaze swept over Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, the excitement on her face suddenly froze—

Unlike Gwen, whose thoughts were completely imperceptible to fairy eyes, Artoria could see through the minds of these two girls.

"As expected of Miss Artoria, she really does have a special fondness for food..."

"Chaldea's food reserves seem to have been produced by Da Vinci and Shion using magic. The quantity isn't very large; I wonder if it's enough for Miss Artoria..."

Speaking of which, since she's not a red dragon, Miss Artoria probably doesn't eat as much as King Arthur...

Upon reading their thoughts, Artoria's excited expression froze instantly—

"So, Gwen was lying to me after all..."

Sure enough, a useless fairy like me, who's good for nothing but eating, should just find a corner and drown myself...

The sudden wave of disappointment amidst the extreme joy and sorrow caused Artoria, whose control over her body had greatly diminished, to nearly collapse to the ground.

Fortunately, just as Artoria was about to make intimate contact with the ground, a warm, large hand caught her, preventing her from falling directly.

Assuming that Artoria was simply not used to her current body, Gwen exerted a little force in his arm and helped Artoria up when she almost fell.

Although the fairies in the small village took in Artoria as an infant with the idea of selling her for a good price when she grew up, after dividing up the treasure that came with her, they raised her like cattle and beasts, and even her toes were once frozen off because they were too cold.

Naturally, this version of Artoria is quite malnourished and lacks the solid muscles of the normal Red Dragon Artoria.

Through the thin hospital gown, Gwen could clearly feel the girl's slender waist and the slight tactile sensation from the friction of the clothing, even imagining the smoothness of her skin.

"It seems you are still very weak. I'll carry you there myself."

Realizing his thoughts had wandered, Gwen quickly pulled himself back, and with a soft gasp from the girl, he hoisted her onto his back.

"Hold on tight, we'll have a full meal soon."

When the girl instinctively wrapped her arms around him, Gwen wrapped his arms around her slender legs and bounced her around, causing the girl, who had never been carried before, to let out a soft gasp.

The unfamiliar posture made the girl feel a little uncomfortable. The arms wrapped around her legs made Artoria feel waves of heat. However, the girl did not know what to say or do, so she could only listen to Gwen and hug him a little tighter, burying her head low.

Before long, Artoria was surprised to find that this position actually made her feel very safe. She no longer needed to worry; she could simply hide behind this broad back...

However, the road that had just felt so long quickly came to an end. Slightly reluctant, Artoria climbed down from behind Gwen and sat down at the dining table, where the food she had prepared for breakfast had already been brought to her.

"Okay, eat up. There's more if you're not full, we can make more."

If you don't have enough ingredients, I have plenty over there.

Gwen looked at the girl who seemed a little dazed and said with a smile.

"Ah... okay."

Snapping out of her daze, Artoria's nostrils twitched, instantly drawn by the aroma of steaming food. She grabbed a piece of bread still smelling of the oven and popped it into her mouth, her eyes crinkling with happiness as she quickly began to devour it.

"Although everyone seems to know I have a big appetite, Gwen's excuse might not hold water..."

But I'm so hungry... and Gwen has already come up with an excuse for me...

Then eat as much as you like...

Artoria tried to suppress certain thoughts with shame, even her red earlobes seemed to be a result of eating too fast...

With Artoria indulging in a feast without restraint, New Chaldea's meager reserves were quickly depleted. Fortunately, Gwen provided the food that solved the immediate crisis; otherwise, the entire New Chaldea would probably be starving.

Watching Artoria devour New Chaldea's food reserves like a whirlwind and relentlessly consume the food Gwen had extracted, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash exchanged bewildered glances.

"It seems this Miss Artoria... is also very much like Miss Artoria..."

Chapter 686 Eat Me for a Lifetime

Besides the major singularities of the burning of Human Order, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash have also been involved in various strange minor singularities for various reasons.

There, by chance, they encountered many of King Arthur's... subspecies?

In short, there are all sorts of King Arthur.

And these King Arthur, whether large or small, strong or weak, wielding swords or spears, almost all share one common characteristic... they can eat a lot!

Weak and helpless, but able to eat;

Powerful and majestic, but also voracious;

Cold-blooded and brutal, but can eat.

In short... it's edible...

"Mmm... I'm so full..."

After swallowing the last German sausage, Artoria patted her round belly contentedly, her whole being... her entire fairy was immersed in the satisfaction of a full meal.

"Have some milk to calm your nerves..."

Seeing Artoria's satisfied expression, which resembled that of a starving ghost reincarnated, Gwen both amused and felt sorry for Artoria as he handed her a glass of milk.

"Ah, okay..."

Upon hearing this, Artoria accepted the drink without hesitation, but instead of gulping it down, she sipped it slowly, unexpectedly displaying a somewhat ladylike demeanor.

If those present hadn't seen her enjoying her meal so much...

However, Artoria was already able to disregard the gazes of the Chaldea employees who came after hearing the news.

While enjoying her meal, Artoria noticed the stares she was receiving, and her emotions went through a series of changes, including embarrassment, tension, numbness, and a sense of hopelessness, ultimately leading her to completely give up.

Rude so be it, savage so be it, she's just a country bumpkin raised in a stable—

I am a barbarian!

Seeing Artoria's relaxed demeanor after her satisfying meal, Gwen chuckled and nudged Kiana's arm, whispering to her—

"Kiana, you're starting to have some of that flair..."

"!"

Kiana, who was still wondering how Artoria's slightly bulging belly could hold so much food, turned around immediately upon hearing this, her heterochromatic gold and blue eyes glaring at Gwen, and questioned him through the system chat—

"What do you mean by having some of my charm?!"

Gwen, don't make baseless accusations. While I can eat a little, I don't have such an exaggerated appetite.

I could only eat about a tenth of her food...

At most one-fifth...

There's absolutely not that many, and it's impossible for it to be more than hers!

Kiana spoke with conviction, but as she spoke, she became increasingly insecure. Yet, she still refused to let Gwen "slander" her, glaring at him with a puff of Gwen, giving him a "cute but fierce" feeling.

Noticing the flirtatious exchange between Gwen and Kiana, Artoria had just been in a great mood after a hearty meal, suddenly became somewhat unhappy.

"Gwen, I feel like I'm different from before. Do you know why?"

Holding a cup of hot milk, Artoria looked at Gwen expectantly and asked.

"Hmm, I have some clues."

Meeting the girl's gaze, Gwen didn't suspect anything and began to explain—

Previously, in order to gather the most power, Gwen, with the help of Ryougi Shiki and Sayo Aika, removed the restrictions on Artoria, the Paradise Fairy of paradise, directly pushing her from her initial form to her ultimate form. He also extracted the concept of the Star Holy Sword from her to strengthen Gwen's Corona Sword and conveniently transformed Artoria into a Holy Sword Fairy, freeing her from having to deal with the mess in Britain anymore.

"So... I don't have to be that Child of Prophecy anymore?"

After listening to Gwen's words, Artoria remained silent for a long time before finally asking this question.

"Yes, that's right."

Gwen, who was sitting opposite Artoria, nodded and smiled.

"Artoria, you have already accompanied me to Camelot to meet Morgan, so I should naturally give you the reward I promised."

"But... but I didn't do anything..."

Upon hearing Gwen mention this, Artoria seemed to instantly revert to her previous state, lowering her head and speaking in a very low voice.

"But you have completed your deal with me and done what you were supposed to do, so you should naturally get what you deserve."

Looking at Artoria, who had automatically entered a pitiful and self-conscious mode, Gwen felt somewhat helpless. The fairies' constant suppression and pampering over the past ten years had eventually caused some problems with Artoria's personality.

Fortunately, it's not a big problem.

"Speaking of which, Artoria, you helped me in the battle against Chaos. Do you want any reward?"

"Huh?"

Artoria hadn't expected this at all, and instinctively said—
