"I thought I was going to die at that moment."
Raven rubbed the part that had been in contact with the ground, her face a little ugly.
"As long as you don't move, Miss Ciora, you won't get hurt."
Durandal said naturally as she pulled Fenghuang Down out of the wall.
"I know, I know, but wouldn't you be scared if someone pointed a spear at you?!" Raven complained, "Why is Miss Durandal so silly?"
"Well, that makes sense."
After thinking for a while, Durandal nodded.
"..."
I feel tired.
At that moment, Raven had the thought, "Am I the only normal person in the world?".
Well, putting aside some data, Raven is quite normal.
"By the way, how much does it cost to repair the wall here?"
"No cost. Let Gre—ahem, Cleo, pay for it to be repaired herself."
If I can't get revenge on Grey Serpent, how can I continue to be a nuisance to you?
Raven was very dissatisfied with the behavior of these two people, for not helping a dying person.
But then again, it was Rita who hung her on the ceiling, right?
Raven thought for a while and bit the corner of her lips.
Well, to be honest, she finally realized that given the circumstances, she was probably no match for Rita.
After all, the other party has taken advantage of my weakness.
"Last time, you copied the data on the Shencheng Medical computer. You should know where they are. Here is the key, Miss Tool Person."
Although this "Miss Tool Person" also looks like a normal person, I think she once used the term "tool person" as a compliment in public. Sure enough, normal people can't tolerate this young woman.
"Okay~!"
Alvirt looked at her captain after taking the key and found that she didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
"Then I'll go copy the data first."
Alvirt felt that Miss Raven and her captain probably had a lot to talk about, so she tactfully left.
After Alvirt left, Raven started to complain with a sad look on her face.
"Can't that gentleman take care of that woman?"
"I can't control her."
Tian Shi's voice suddenly came from the Fenghuang Down.
After two simulations, each time adding points in a 1:1:1 format, the current level of Troublemaker has reached 9.
Even without a puppet, Tian Shi can transmit his voice to the outside world through possession.
The degree of transmission is related to the material of the possessed object.
For example, the Fenghuang Down that Tian Shi is now possessing is undoubtedly an object capable of completely transmitting sound to the outside.
"Huh--?"
Raven, who didn't expect any reply, was startled.
And Durandal looked at the Fenghuang Down in her hand curiously.
"Good evening, Tian Shi."
"Good evening, Bianka."
Although his apprentice is not very carefree, he still has a host who frees her from worries.
"Still at Shencheng Medical in the middle of the night?"
"Because I have official business to attend to... Tian Shi, are you done with your business yet? Rita said you had something urgent to attend to this afternoon, so she left first."
"In the afternoon... how about your AV?"
Tian Shi didn't directly answer Durandal's question, but asked back with a slightly malicious tone.
"It looks great. Rita has good taste."
Durandal said with a slight blush.
Can you please not use such misleading expressions?!
Raven curved the corners of her mouth.
Fortunately, Durandal's next sentence was much more normal.
"I want to buy a kitten so it can play with Stan."
Raven: "..."
Your Stan is not a cat!
It's a cat-like Honkai Beast that can temporarily suppress Rita and even surpass me from certain angles!
"Mmm... Good suggestion. What about Big Orange? I love that relaxed and calm demeanor."
"It's not good to be too relaxed... but... well, that furry feeling also seems nice..."
"I'm just suggesting it, but, is Stan neutered?"
"Neutered... well, it doesn't seem to be, but Stan doesn't seem to be in heat either."
Because Stan is a Honkaimon! Can your Honkaimon go into heat?
"But since we're on the subject, I heard that neutering is good for a cat's health, so I'll take Stan to get neutered when we go back."
Raven: "..."
This person really treats Stan like a normal cat.
No, you two, is this the time to talk about kittens, seriously?
"Raven, say whatever you want, no need to hold anything back. We're just lacking a funny, humorous character here."
Tian Shi looked at Raven, though the spear couldn't make the gesture of "looking."
"I'm so sorry that I can only appear as a comedic character."
Raven twisted the corners of her mouth and said these words after a long while.
Shouldn't our World Snake be the kind of organization that appears as a behind-the-scenes boss? Why does it feel like everyone is about to become a comedic character?
"Let me correct you, it's not World Snake."
The Fenghuang Down floated up and corrected righteously.
"Grey Serpent, the last B-type serpent in the world."
"Huh? World Snake?" Durandal asked in confusion.
"Ah... this..."
Raven suddenly realized that she seemed to have blurted something out.
Rita hadn't explained the situation to Durandal yet.
"So you haven't told her yet."
Tian Shi sighed.
"Then let me explain."
blah, blah, blah, blah...
"Oh."
After hearing Tian Shi's explanation, Durandal pondered for a minute and uttered those words.
Raven: "...?"
No, Miss Durandal, the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal, is your only reaction to your assistant's "rebellion" an "oh"?
Isn't your bishop a bit pitiful?
"Uh... Miss Durandal, don't you want to say something?"
"?"
Durandal tilted her head in confusion.
"What did you say?"
"For example, righteously condemning Rita or reporting her to your bishop..."
"Condemning, well, she should be condemned for doing these things without telling me anything, but reporting... I trust Rita."
On one side is Rita, who is no different from her real sister, and on the other side is Otto, who acts like a riddle from time to time.
Mmm...
"Who is Otto? I don't know him."
Besides, Tian Shi is on World Snake's side.
Should we think about how to choose?
"Then your bishop is truly pathetic."
The corner of Raven's mouth twitched slightly.
"Why don't you just follow the example of the Far East Branch and rebel directly?"
"Huh..."
To Raven's surprise, Durandal actually started to think about it seriously.
But then Durandal shook her head.
"No, betrayal is an irresponsibility to my team members."
"So as long as you organize your team members well, you can rebel without any burden?" Raven complained.
The Schicksal organization is already riddled with holes...
"If Rita agrees, I have no objection."
"..."
Let's end this topic here. If we continue, Raven feels like she'll donate two dollars to Schicksal out of pity.
What kind of people are your Valkyries?!
"Now that I think about it, we haven't seen each other in a while. Do you want to go out and play for a while?"
Tian Shi suggested.
"Is anyone here at this hour?"
"Yes, Sky City doesn't rest just because night falls."
Raven nodded and answered.
"But going to those places will make you fat."
"That's because you can't control your mouth."
Tian Shi exposed her mercilessly.
"In that case, how about we go play together for a while?"
"Play for a while... Yes, no problem."
Bianka thought for a while and nodded with a slight blush on her face.
Bianka's sense of love is always in a very strange state.
Although as a child she seemed carefree, she would secretly ask questions like "Who should I give the apple to?".
It seems that her love brain has even degenerated, but she still blushes when faced with this kind of question.
It basically feels like she's seen the track but has never run on it...
"What about Miss Ciora?"
It was clearly a date invitation, but Durandal still asked Raven so candidly—she hadn't found the track.
She clearly intuited it, but her operation was completely wrong.
"If it were Rita, she would undoubtedly tell me to leave."
Raven sighed.
"?"
Durandal expressed doubts about what Raven said.
But Raven herself waved her hand and told Durandal not to worry about it.
"I'm not one to be ungrateful. Since you saved me and asked for my opinion just now, I will support you from now on, Miss Durandal."
Raven smiled at Durandal.
Compared to Rita, the maid with a bad and twisted personality, Durandal is simply an angel!
She wanted to curse that horrid maid Rita to have bad relationships, a bumpy career, and to be sent to another world in a truck while walking on the street!
Although it's still very difficult for a large truck to kill an S-class Valkyrie.
"...?"
Bianka was still confused.
"Do you need me to book a hotel for you and the Master?"
"No, no need."
Although she had no idea what Miss Ciora was doing, Durandal still refused outright.
"Then, Miss Durandal, you must show some femininity! Go! Don't let that bastard maid Rita look down on you!"
"..."
"No, I don't understand anything."
Bianka's face was almost completely filled with confusion.
But Raven didn't care.
"That's it, I'm taking my leave!"
"Raven's style has deviated, hasn't it?"
Tian Shi complained as he watched Raven leave.
"What a mess!"
"Well... it's a bit messy."
Bianka nodded, somewhat distressed... but she felt as if she inexplicably understood something from those messy words.
But she can't say exactly what she understood.
"But since Miss Ciora isn't coming with us, then it's just the two of us, right?"
"That's what it looks like right now."
The spear lost its strength and fell to the ground.
"It's definitely more convenient this way."
When you possess a weapon, it feels really strange to not be able to perform certain actions.
"But as Raven said earlier, it's better to be careful about getting fat."
"Well... I should have gotten enough exercise."
Durandal nodded with a slight blush on her face.
But in the end, what should we do in this situation?
Bianka looked a little distressed.
She was not good at enlivening the atmosphere.
"Come on, Bianka, stop staring at me and let's go."
"Oh... oh-oh."
"By the way, Bianka, how have you been these past few years?"
With nothing to do on the way, Tian Shi took advantage of the moonlight to start chatting with Bianka.
"These past few years... I guess they've been pretty normal."
Bianka looked at the sky.
Although the city would suffer destruction from time to time, the night view was unexpectedly beautiful.
"After returning from the bubble, Rita's brain seemed to have been traumatized and she completely forgot everything that happened there."
"I tried to talk to her about these things, but it was completely useless."
"She would always forget them as soon as she turned around."
"I see... What about Shakespeare and the others?"
"The captain is still the same, putting on hilarious farces from time to time."
"Recently, she wanted to get everyone to perform The Merchant of Venice, but there weren't enough people."
Bianka seemed to remember the scene where Shakespeare was full of enthusiasm about making plans but ended up returning home disappointed.
"Who's missing?"
Tian Shi asked with interest.
"Bassanio and his fiancée Portia... Technically, if I were to participate, there would only be one left."
Durandal replied softly.
"Tian Shi, are you interested in this drama?"
"Hmm... acting sounds quite tiring, better not."
"Besides, isn't the role of Portia the only one left after I leave?"
"If the captain is in a bad mood, maybe this is possible, but it would be a very bad mood."
Gender aside, the character distribution is quite reasonable: Bassanio, who is brave and loyal, and Portia, who is witty, brave, and adaptable.
So I'll have to give this play a break.
Shakespeare will no doubt have a bad taste in his mouth.
Tian Shi sighed, while Bianka smiled.
If you put it that way, it feels strange... although it also feels quite interesting.
"Then let Rita play Portia, and Tian Shi, you play Bassanio, how about that?"
Bianka suggested without realizing the situation.
"Rita has also recovered her memory, so I believe she'll certainly agree."
In reality, Bianka had no sense of crisis at all.
"Well... this still depends on what Rita wants to do, right?"
Although he feels that Rita would be very happy to agree.
