"what?"

Seeing Linna's bewildered expression, Artoria said somewhat helplessly:

"Linnai, what are you wondering about? As the King of Britain, it would be strange if he didn't have a room, wouldn't it?"

"hiss……"

It really is.

However, he hadn't spent the night in Britain, so he genuinely didn't know there were rooms available.

"But looking at it this way, my room is actually quite big~"

Lin Nai nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, it's quite big."

Click—

"Ok?"

Linna looked over warily.

Then they discovered that Artoria had gently closed and locked the door.

"Uh... Artoria, why did you suddenly lock the door?"

A question mark popped into Linnaeus's head.

For some reason, Linna had a sudden bad feeling.

It seems even his DNA is sending a warning.

stir……

What's going on?

Artoria didn't reply, but simply lowered her head and quietly leaned against the door.

"Artoria?"

Lin Nai swallowed hard, took a careful step forward, and gently touched the other person's shoulder.

No response.

Not at all.

This made Lin Nai's sense of unease even stronger.

"Artoria!"

Linnai turned her around with concern, only to see that Artoria's emerald green eyes seemed to be filled with tears, her lips pursed, looking at him with helplessness.

Linna was stunned.

"Linnaeus."

"I'm here."

Linnai snapped out of her reverie, softened her tone, and said gently, "I'll always be here for you."

"Feel sorry."

Feel sorry?

Why should I apologize?

Why are we starting with riddles?

What happened?

Lin Nai felt as if the CPU of his brain had started working frantically at that moment.

But no matter how brilliant Linnaeus was, he couldn't figure out what had happened.

Was it his fault?

No, no, no...

That's probably impossible...

I've been working diligently on things in Britain these past few days.

At most, I'll occasionally glance at Artoria and Morgan.

It couldn't possibly be because of him..., could it?

Could it really be because of this?

"Well!"

But before Lin Nai could ask anything, a soft touch pressed against her.

Inexperienced.

rusty.

Lin Nai was somewhat stunned; he was completely frozen in place, unable to process what was happening.

he……

I was forcibly kissed?!

real or fake?

Artoria, with her eyes closed, focused all her senses on the part of her body that was most intimately pressed against the person in front of her, greedily savoring everything that came from Linna's lips.

And her own consciousness was slowly melting away and sinking into this shyness.

Their breaths gradually intertwined, as if everything had slowed down.

"what……"

"Um..."

After an unknown amount of time, the two parted ways. Only a silver bridge, flashing in the moonlight, was broken, symbolizing what had just happened.

"Artoria..."

Linna was still a little dazed.

No, no.

What exactly is going on...?

"Well!"

When Linna came to her senses, she found herself pushed onto the bed by Artoria.

"call……"

Artoria straddled the other person, an unnatural blush rising on her face.

"Feel sorry."

"How should I put it... it's really strange that you're apologizing while putting on this tough act... Shouldn't I be 'Brother Jie'? How did you become 'Brother Jie'?"

Lin Nai recovered and couldn't help but complain.

He had just said the room was quite big, how come he was pushed onto the bed by this blond guy so soon?

Is that how the script is written?

and……

"Artoria, what triggered you to do such a thing?"

Lin Nai gazed tenderly at the girl in front of her, curiously inquiring about her motives.

"I just... figured it out."

Artoria smiled. "Just like Linnaeus said. Live life to the fullest, enjoy life, do what I want to do—so, I'm doing what I'm doing right now!"

"Is all you want to do to push me onto the bed? That's a real act of insubordination."

Linnaeus made a joke.

"Um..."

Artoria blushed slightly, but didn't turn her head away; she simply looked at the person beneath her.

“That’s definitely not right, but… compared to Morgan’s path that makes me feel gloomy, I must take control of my future myself. That’s what I got from Kai and the Barking Lion.”

"?"

Is Morgan involved here?

wrong!

What do you mean Kai and Barking Lion gave you advice?

Grooved.

What exactly did you guys talk about this afternoon? Why was Powermon involved?

"Then what you just did..."

"I'm just struggling with whether what I'm doing is right or wrong..."

Artoria lowered her eyes and pursed her lips.

After all, she wasn't the only one.

She felt like she had betrayed everyone else in the chat room.

It felt a bit exciting.

“I didn’t realize this at first, but… after something happened, I found that there was something wrong with my heart, a feeling I had never experienced before.”

Artoria was bathed in the moonlight streaming through the window, her face filled with indescribable tenderness.

"From the moment you took on my destiny, Linna, to the adventures we've shared, and even the ordinary things that have happened, my heart has been pounding nonstop..."

"Until today—"

Her conversations with Morgan, with the Barking Lion, and with her brother.

She got it.

"I think... I must have fallen in love with you."

Artoria, her face flushed with shyness, met Linna's gaze with her emerald eyes.

"Me..."

Linnaeus was somewhat taken aback.

This must be the first time, right?

Whether in the past or now, this seems to be the first time someone has said this to me.

Even Lin Nai was at a loss for words.

but……

Linnaeus knew a little.
