National Destiny: Starting with a gender-swapped role as Artoria

Walk over and sit down in front of her.

Hearing the sound, Vermouth turned her head and saw Wu Yue, giving him a polite smile.

Wu Yue then noticed that she had dark circles under her eyes and looked somewhat haggard, something he hadn't noticed while she was inside Susanoo.

Vermouth called the waiter and ordered two cappuccinos.

The waiter quickly brought it over, and Wu Yue picked it up, her pink lips touching the cup as she took a small sip.

The taste of purified water.

Wu Yue hesitated whether to put it directly into his mouth, even though it wasn't very elegant.

"sorry."

Vermouth spoke.

Wu Yue looked up at her and saw that she was holding a teacup with both hands and looking down at the cup.

"I didn't want it to be like this either, but the organization is pressuring me a lot, and my mind has been a bit muddled lately."

Wu Yue did not speak.

"I know how you feel. To be honest, I'm very surprised that you agreed to have a proper talk with me face to face, especially since I was just trying to assassinate you."

"I was quite surprised too, but I might have some goodwill towards you because I saved you, or maybe I'm just not a threat to you at all."

“That makes sense. After all, at the very least, our organization is just a bunch of ordinary people.”

Vermouth laughed.

She then took out a bank card and placed it on the table.

"I feel that giving something is a better way to express my feelings than to apologize verbally. The bank card has no PIN, and the total amount is 1 million RMB, which is my life savings."

Wu Yue looked at Vermouth.

"Well... I'm not going to do anything to you."

(bfca)

"Even if you don't do anything to me, the organization won't let me off the hook for deserting in the face of battle. I will definitely be hunted down."

Vermouth smiled bitterly and lit a cigarette. Her body trembled slightly, and her lips opened and closed. After a long while, she finally spoke.

"I...can I ask you for a favor...please..."

Her voice gradually weakened.

"Sure, what's up?"

Vermouth immediately looked up at Wu Yue, her eyes filled with surprise.

"Really...really...?"

"real."

“I…I plan to retire now. I’ve had this idea for a while, but I haven’t been able to find the right opportunity until I met you. I plan to fake my death so that you can kill me in front of the organization. Your strength is terrifying, and they won’t dare to doubt it.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue stared intently into Vermouth's eyes for a long time. Vermouth's heart began to pound violently, and she eventually couldn't bear it and turned her head away first.

Her long, silver, curly hair swayed, obscuring her flushed face.

Wu Yue thought for a moment and then spoke.

"How about this, you use this money to hire me, and I'll help you take care of that organization."

"Eh?"

"Putting everything else aside, even if you don't meet with me, I will still go to that organization. After all, they have already started assassinating me, which is no small matter. I have a family."

"Family...family? You're married?"

"Ah? No, they are my parents, but they are under protection now."

"This...is like this..."

"So what do you think? Do you want to hire me?"

Wu Yue smiled at Vermouth, her large, light blue eyes, long eyelashes, and pretty face revealing her beauty.

Vermouth seemed to be touched, and slowly lowered her head, but Wu Yue could not see her expression.

"Thank...thank you...I really didn't expect you to believe me so easily..."

Wu Yue nodded. From the very beginning, when Vermouth was injured but still thinking about Irina in the Star Dou Great Forest, Wu Yue had already developed feelings for her.

Wu Yue has always liked mature, sophisticated women since she was a child.

Vermouth is a typical example. Judging from the fact that she directly pulled out her bank card, she's probably the kind of person who'd rather be financially supported by someone else.

Furthermore, even if something goes wrong, Wu Yue is always able to turn the tide in an instant.

I am currently playing the role of Aqua, the goddess of water.

"Oh, by the way, where do you live now?"

Wu Yue asked.

"Where to stay? I haven't decided yet. I'll be hiding away for a while."

"Stop hiding, come stay at my house."

"Eh?"

"Stay at my house."

In a studio apartment, Wu Yue, Artoria, Vermouth, and Xiao Nan sit at the table.

"I've finished speaking. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

Vermouth remained silent, Konan closed her eyes in silence, and Artoria raised her hand.

"please say."

"Wu Yue, how should we allocate bedrooms for four people?"

Chapter 104 Two Hearts Beating Vigorously in the Dead of Night Confirm Their Feelings, Unable to Resist

How to allocate bedrooms for 4 people is indeed a good question.

When Artoria returned, she had already bought a bed, and even with the two beds put together, only three people could lie down.

It's also worth mentioning that Artoria changed into a blue and white dress she had bought.

"Tomorrow, I'll go rent a big house that can accommodate four people. Two of us will stay at home today, and the other two will stay outside."

The four of them exchanged glances.

"Maybe I should just live outside by myself..."

Vermouth raised her hand and said.

Wu Yue turned to look at her.

"I'll only ask you once, are you sure?"

Vermouth was taken aback by the question, looked at Wu Yue, and hesitated for a long time.

I thought about my equipment for a long time...

"Never mind... never said anything..."

"Anyway, let's leave it at that for now. Artoria and Konan can stay at home for the time being, while Vermouth and I will make do outside for the night. Is there anything else?"

The four people looked at each other.

"Why can't Minami and Vermouth live together?"

Altria asked.

"Because Konan is chained and can't use ninjutsu, she's still an ordinary person and can't protect Vermouth."

"Then why can't the chains be removed?"

Wu Yue then turned to look at Xiao Nan.

"If I remove your chains, will you escape... no, will you cause trouble?"

Xiao Nan looked at Wu Yue and shook her head.

"will not."

Wu Yue clicked his tongue in surprise, suddenly remembering Xiao Nan's words, "We're surrounded." He closed his eyes and thought about it carefully.

"I think... it's better not to untie it for now. I still don't quite believe it."

"why?"
