Seeing the guy's gruesome death, Fu Shi and Lappland's initial thought of joining in the fun and becoming his disciples vanished instantly.
This is just standard intensity?!
"Alas, mortals ultimately cannot withstand the backlash of this technique; its inheritance is indeed difficult."
Jiang Qiu sighed and quickly pulled Mordred back to his seat.
Even as they moved, sweat continued to pour down their faces.
She looked like a little wildcat just pulled out of the water, appearing rather pitiful.
As Jiang Qiu looked at Fu Shi and Lappland questioningly, the two immediately shuddered and shook their heads repeatedly, saying—
"We don't need to. We can enjoy it occasionally, but we can skip the studies."
"Really? That's a bit of a shame."
Jiang Qiu muttered to herself, but the malice in her words made the two of them twitch.
Before they could grumble a few more times, the school bell rang again, and the two could only hurriedly return to their seats.
Artoria, who returned to the classroom just in time, noticed a large puddle of water on the floor behind her as she returned to her seat, and was taken aback.
Chapter 73, Section 74: The survival of the ahoge (cowlicks) is urgent!
What caused this strange, large puddle of water?
This dangerous question plagued Artoria for the entire lesson.
She already had a vague idea of the answer, but she was so terrified by the horrific crime scene and the cruel methods of execution that she didn't dare to turn her head at all.
They at least paid hush money, so let's just pretend we didn't see it.
Artoria steadied herself and endured the last class of the morning with some trepidation.
She rushed out the moment the bell rang and the teacher left the classroom.
Somewhat unexpectedly, Lappland and Fu Shi were also rushing out with her.
Were these two also fleeing for their lives?
Is this guy so enthusiastic about cooking?
They exchanged a glance but said nothing, each rushing off to their respective destinations.
After seeing that most people had left, Jiang Qiu, who remained in her seat, patted Mordred, who was lying motionless beside her.
"Stop pretending, everyone's already left."
Upon hearing this, Mordred, who had been lifeless, immediately and secretly opened her eyes.
After confirming that everyone had left, he awkwardly scratched his face and sat up straight.
"Don't tell anyone about what happened today!"
"Don't worry, basically no one is paying attention to you. Do you still want to learn massage?"
"study!"
"Ok?"
Jiang Qiu looked at this guy with some surprise. He was actually so brave?
Noticing Jiang Qiu's questioning look, Mordred gritted his teeth and explained—
"I know that the more powerful the ability, the more demanding the conditions for learning it."
"I'm not so easily intimidated by difficulties! I'm determined to learn this trick!"
"Okay! Be ambitious!"
"Should we strike while the iron is hot and try again?"
Jiang Qiu looked at the other person with admiration; this guy was quite impressive.
His courage to face danger despite suffering repeated setbacks is admirable.
Faced with such an admirable existence, one must naturally give it one's all!
Upon sensing the deadly threat, Mordred's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately assumed a defensive stance.
"Wait a minute! There's no need for that!!"
"Let me catch my breath first. The excitement from last time is still lingering. I'll come back when I've rested enough."
"Tsk."
Seeing Jiang Qiu lower her hand with some disappointment, Mordred finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If this happens again, my legs probably won't be able to close!
"I'll lie here and rest for a bit, then I'll prepare lunch for you later."
"It's okay, you can wait until tomorrow. Gouzi and the others have already gone and will bring you food."
"also."
Upon hearing that someone had brought food, Mordred slumped back onto the table, feeling utterly defeated.
She's so agitated right now that she can't even walk.
Should I bring a few extra small internal armor plates with me every day when I come to school from now on?
Otherwise, it feels weird to keep sticking together like this.
Mordred shook his legs somewhat uncomfortably, his face turning a little flushed.
The sticky feeling seemed to intensify as they inhaled the faint scent of the succubus.
Seeing that the guy was just groaning and not making much noise, Jiang Qiu started playing on her phone and waited for dinner.
Gouzi and Xiaoshi moved quite quickly, and before long they were back in the classroom with bags and packages.
"Here it is! I brought you the milk tea, chicken, and clavicle that we promised before."
"I don't know what you like to eat, so I'll just bring whatever else I can think of, like grilled tofu, wolf tooth potatoes, lean meatballs, takoyaki, etc."
"Wow, that's quite a feast."
"How much is the chicken neck bone? I'll transfer it to you; after all, it's what I promised to give this guy."
"It's not expensive. Just buy me a bubble tea after school."
"also."
Seeing that the dog had said so, Mordred didn't stand on ceremony and reached out to grab the chicken collarbone, intending to check it out for Jiang Qiu first.
But the moment she opened the bag and smelled the spiciness wafting out, her expression changed instantly.
What kind of spice do you put in this?
"Medium spicy."
"This doesn't look like it!"
"The last customer ordered the extra spicy one. When they were serving our portion, the owner didn't change the condiment bowl, so I figured it shouldn't make a difference."
""
Mordred's eye twitched, and he hesitated for a moment.
However, Jiang Qiu acted as if nothing had happened, grabbing a piece of chicken collarbone and gnawing on it with gusto.
"Aren't you afraid of extra spicy food?"
"It's alright. I can handle spicy food pretty well, and I also have iced milk tea."
"Be careful your stomach doesn't hold out!"
"I know it well."
Jiang Qiu calmly replied, "Even if things don't go well, I still have the Healing Essence. I can just give myself a shot."
Let's eat our fill first!
Seeing Jiang Qiu enjoying her chicken neck bone and milk tea so much, Mordred couldn't resist the temptation and grabbed a piece as well.
But within seconds, her pretty face turned bright red from the spiciness, and she frantically stuck out her tongue, fanning herself.
"Milk tea, milk tea—hiss—hiss—hiss—hiss—I'm going numb!"
"This way, this way."
"Zzzzz—I'm alive again."
With a gust of wind sucked in, Mordred let out a long sigh of relief.
The spiciness had barely subsided when it returned, prompting her to continue slurping her milk tea.
Seeing how badly the guy was being tormented, Lappland and Fu Shi, whose claws were reaching for the chicken's collarbone, instantly changed direction and picked up other food instead.
While the four of them were happily enjoying their lunch, several other Artorias sat in a corner of the cafeteria with long faces.
Everyone looked at the appalling balances on their meal cards and let out a collective sigh.
Rin Tohsaka, who was surrounded in the center, paused slightly with her chopsticks holding food, and the veins on her forehead throbbed involuntarily.
"This is all the money I have left for food, so don't you dare try to take it!"
"Your company is doing so well now, why are you asking me, a bankrupt company, for help!"
Rin Tohsaka was yelling in frustration. She thought it was bad enough that her father's business partnership with the Matou and Einzbern families had gone bankrupt.
I never expected that surviving such a close call would have such a lingering problem; I've actually been entangled with these starving ghosts.
Did I do something wrong in my past life?!
Upon mentioning the group, several Artorias revealed expressions of indignation, their teeth clenched.
"That damned Morgan, he's absolutely insane!"
"They cut our food allowance by more than half! Is this how a chairman should act?!"
“These things won’t last long, so we thought we’d come here to ask if you have any suitable part-time jobs.”
"Since the group has imposed restrictions, we have no choice but to rely on ourselves."
"Yeah, Rin, haven't you been looking for a part-time job lately? Do you have any good recommendations?"
Chapter 74, Section 75: Lappland stopped at the edge of taboo.
Faced with Artoria and the others' plea for help, Rin Tohsaka sighed and tossed her phone over.
"I've written down all the part-time jobs that seem promising recently. Take a look and see if any of them are suitable for you."
"Oh, Rin is still the most reliable one after all."
"so much?"
"Quick, see if anyone offers meals!"
Several heads huddled together, their eyes glued to the constantly scrolling messages on their phone screens.
As he stared, the Saber seemed to notice something, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
However, she didn't make a fuss immediately. Instead, she ignored it as if nothing had happened and continued to look up other part-time job information with others.
After some searching, they actually found a few decent part-time jobs.
"Shall we try it after school?"
"Okay! Which one do you like?"
"I plan to go to this convenience store and see if the staff can handle any unsold near-expiry bento boxes each day."
"I think this restaurant is pretty good, and they provide meals."
"What about you?"
"Let me think about it some more."
Da Mao Wang gave a vague and perfunctory answer, but the housekeeping part-time job he had just glimpsed kept replaying in his mind.
Aside from the good treatment, the name Jiang Qiu on the label also surprised her.
Could it be the same one?
Just as everyone was regaining their hope for a bright future, Rin Tohsaka still looked listless and dispirited.
