Artoria froze for a moment, then revealed a smile.
"No need, Master and Kato should be on a good date. I'm not too flustered to interrupt someone else's date."
Actually bother! Ryuji groaned inwardly.
"Is this really alright?"
"Of course, I will watch it alone with Master when I have the chance," said Artoria with a smile.
Ryuji: "..."
You say openly in front of the girl that next time you go to the movies alone with her boyfriend, would it be okay?
Luckily, Megumi understood the truth and didn't say anything. She who may have thought of something but did not say it.
While the three of them were chatting, the ten servings of popcorn Ryuji ordered were prepared, and four trays were placed.
"So much popcorn, did Ryuji-kun have any other friends over?" asked Megumi.
Ryuji shook his head.
"Isn't it a waste to buy so much and not be able to spend it?"
Ha? Can't finish? I'm afraid you're underestimating Artoria's stomach!
"Megumi is right, extravagance is a shameful act!" Artoria said seriously.
The movie Megumi chose still has some time to start, so the three find a place to sit and wait.
"Oh, is this food made from grains?" As a foodie, Artoria saw the essence of popcorn at a glance.
"It's made from corn, with added sugar and caramel." Ryuji explained.
"I see." Artoria nodded, took a piece of popcorn and put it in her mouth, tasting food she had never eaten before.
"It tastes like corn, but also has the sweetness of sugar, it's really weird!" Artoria commented like a culinary expert.
"It's just popcorn, too exaggerated!" Ryuji complained.
Megumi watched silently from the side, her facial expression quickly changing from calm to surprised.
Because Artoria had already finished eating her four cents of popcorn, and she didn't seem to stop at all.
"Arturia-san has a very good appetite." Megumi could only say this.
"Hunger is the enemy!" Artoria, who was eating, rarely said a word.
Soon, a serving of popcorn was finished by Artoria alone, with an unsatisfactory expression on her face.
"If you don't mind, please take this too." Megumi also gave up hers.
"Megumi really is a good person!" To Artoria, a person who selflessly donated food to others was a good person, so she dropped her last name and called her by her first name.
"Quite a strange feeling to be given a best friend card by a girl."
"But forget it, I'm already full." Artoria rejected Megumi's kindness.
In the end, eating was only her interest, she was connected to the dragon vein and didn't need to absorb even a bit of magic power from food, so there was no problem of hunger.
Even Artoria said so, Megumi no longer insisted.
Soon, Ryuji and Megumi's movie begins, and the three go their separate ways.
"Where is Artoria next?" Ryuji asked.
"I'll go shopping on the street again, then I'll go home."
It's time to find food!
Ryuji took out a wallet, took out a bank card, and gave the wallet to Artoria.
"Here, take it. Remember to return the card to me later."
"Thank you very much, Master!" Artoria smiled sincerely.
Because she forgot to bring money, she saw a lot of delicious food on the way here, and she couldn't help but drool as she passed by. She would not commit acts such as robbery.
Before she met Ryuji, she had thought of going to Emiya's restaurant to eat.
Artoria took her purse and left satisfied, Ryuji and Megumi entered the screening room.
Ryuji originally planned to open separate rooms for couples, but was rejected by Megumi because "There's no cinema atmosphere".
In the screening room, before the movie started, Megumi asked Ryuji in a low voice: "Earlier I was curious, why suddenly there are so many girls in Ryuji-kun's family."
Ryuji was stunned for a moment: "Uh, there are various reasons."
"For example?"
Previously, Megumi wouldn't have asked this, but since they were already lovers, she felt the need to know.
Ryuji was at a loss for words, not knowing how to answer.
Do you want to tell Megumi the truth, they are not humans, but mysterious existences called Heroic Spirits?
If he actually said it, it would feel really bad, from many aspects. But Megumi's serious appearance, common sense couldn't be fooled.
Ryuji was entangled.
