"Hmmmm~"
Raven went up the stairs happily.
The mere thought that Rita might one day kneel on the ground like a loser and cry bitterly made her feel great. Her steps even became three times lighter.
"Miss Raven, are you happy?"
However, when she was just one step away from her room, an unpleasant voice stopped her.
Have I had a few too many conflicts with Rita these past few days? Why do I keep running into that idiotic maid, Rita, everywhere?
Well, after all, they were staying in a hotel.
"Still not going to bed so late, Miss Rita?"
Raven asked, trying to look calm.
"I was preparing to go to bed when I heard your cheerful tune, Miss Raven, so I came out to see you out of curiosity."
Rita had an elegant smile on her face.
"Miss Raven, would you mind sharing your happiness?"
"Rita, aren't you getting too nosy? I'm not your maid."
Raven smiled and said in a very unhappy tone. After all, you're not even the mistress, so why are you checking up on me? If it weren't for Mr. Tian, you'd have been lying on the floor a long time ago!
"It's just my concern for the younger generation."
Rita smiled.
"Of course, I don't think there should be anything that would make you so happy, Miss Raven, except for my bad luck or buying an island."
"Isn't your self-awareness very clear?"
You've said everything you wanted to say, so what else can I say?
But even so, Raven smiled.
"It's none of your business. Now, your captain, Durandal, is on a date with the Lord. You don't have to wait for me to tell you where they went. I won't tell you, even if you torture me. I'll just watch a maid like you cry bitterly."
Raven smiled mockingly.
"But if you're willing to kneel down and say, 'Lord Raven, I was wrong,' maybe I can give you a hint."
"Oh."
Rita nodded calmly.
"...?"
Isn't your reaction a little too... calm?
"Those two are dating."
Raven emphasized.
"Well, a date? What about it?"
Rita looked at Raven with a half-smile.
"What do you mean? Should I be so jealous that I grind my teeth and immediately rush through Sky City with a scythe to catch the adulterers?"
"Shouldn't it be like that?"
"There's a limit to being jealous, Miss Raven, or do you think I'm one of those brainless jealous women?"
"Isn't that true?"
Raven said subconsciously, and then she realized she seemed to have made a mistake.
"That, this is a slip of the tongue. Can you pretend you didn't hear it?"
"What do you think, Miss Raven?"
Rita gave a gentle smile but then sighed again.
"But it seems you have absolutely no experience with love, Miss Raven."
"Of course, I can't compare myself to a carnivorous person like you."
Raven pouted.
"If I were a carnivore, I would have already taken maternity leave if Tian Shi had a body."
Rita couldn't help but feel melancholic as she said this. If she were a real carnivore, how could the situation be so troublesome? MEI, Fu Hua, and those Anti-Entropy scientists—if it were possible, she would have already crushed those b*stards to death.
"Jumping to the topic of children all of a sudden is a really big leap."
"Indeed, after all, I was still a minor when I went to the bubble world."
"No, I don't think I meant that."
"Yes, but back on topic, this is actually my first time being in love. Don't, don't open your mouth like the world is about to end."
Rita couldn't help but feel the corners of her eyes twitch as she looked at Raven feigning surprise.
"You... you just make me want to hang you from the ceiling."
Can't Raven talk after she puts her feet on the ground?
"It's okay, I just got off the ceiling not long ago, and I don't want to get hung up again or anything like that. You go ahead."
Although Raven is indifferent to love, if Rita wants to share her love experience, Raven is still very interested. After all, gossip is one of the human instincts.
Well, be polite and curious.
"Your tone makes me completely lose the motivation to share..."
Rita couldn't help but sigh.
"However, since we've touched on this topic, although it's my opinion, it's okay to discuss it. Um... first of all, Miss Raven, what do you think 'love' is?"
"Can you not ask me such a philosophical question?"
"Well, I guess I can't, after all, Miss Raven, your IQ is limited."
Rita sighed helplessly.
"Do you think that the so-called 'love' must be exclusive?"
"It's a sick act, isn't it?"
Raven held her chin and thought for a moment.
"But it doesn't seem right to think that. If it's not exclusive, wouldn't the situation become chaotic?"
"Why would you let things become chaotic?"
Rita asked rhetorically.
"Is there nothing but indulgence besides a monopoly?"
"Can you get straight to the point? I just want to listen to gossip, not think about philosophical questions. For example, you and Doctor MEI arguing with each other, and you taking Durandal away."
"From Doctor MEI, I only want to confirm the scope."
"The scope?"
"Of course, it's the scope of her love. I don't think it's fair to compare in this regard, is it?"
Rita smiled.
"It was more than 50,000 years ago..."
"If time were everything, there wouldn't be so many days when people fall from heaven, and there's a word for that, 'degeneration,' isn't there?"
Rita looked at Raven with interest.
"I can guarantee that I am not a sick child, but can you guarantee that Doctor MEI isn't? The most terrible mental illness is that of someone who looks like a normal person."
"To a certain extent, you're not that different from a sick child."
Raven spat. But she also understood a little of Rita's words. Indeed, the most terrifying lunatic is the one you can't see any abnormality in at all.
"Is this reason convincing?"
"More or less."
Raven pursed her lips. She still didn't quite understand this mental circuit, but she understood the meaning more or less.
"What about Durandal? I only saw a plastic sisterhood between you two."
"This is..."
Rita pondered a little.
"Maybe it really is a plastic sisterhood."
"..."
"Hello! You admitted it! This woman actually openly admitted it!"
"No, don't be so surprised. Many people get together and have to get a 123456 position."
After all, there's only one place for the wife.
"Where are you, The Queen?"
Raven spat.
"Well... this metaphor is really vivid, but my current wish is to be a young maiden."
"So just a palace maid... No, are you still out of breath over a few things?"
"It's not a shameful wish, and it's not a shameful thing to admit and say what's on your mind."
Rita shrugged and smiled, ignoring Raven's complaints.
"It's human nature, Miss Raven."
"It's completely impossible... Wait."
Halfway through the sentence, Raven seemed to suddenly understand something, and her eyes became suspicious.
"Could this choice be your second-best option? Because a monopoly is impossible, that's why you had to settle for the next best thing..."
"Ah..."
Rita's smiling eyes suddenly opened wide, flashing a cold light.
"Sure enough, it was the next best choice! So, your previous trials were about testing whether you could get the opponent out of the game, right? I almost believed Rita's nonsense just now."
"It's also a kind of human nature."
Rita was still smiling as if nothing had happened.
"After all, the less troublesome they are, the better."
"You're really dangerous."
"No, am I a normal person? Maybe the most harmless one."
"I think you're the type who can get sick from love at any moment." (Becoming a Yandere)
How can a normal person show that kind of look!
Raven felt like she had seen her whole life in the past two days.
I might have the potential to be a supporting actor.
"No, the look just now wasn't murderous intent toward those competitors."
Rita shook her finger and corrected her.
"It was just about the murderous intent."
"Do you still say you're a normal person?"
Raven went crazy.
"Yes, you have successfully broken my last shred of yearning for love."
"Love is a battlefield. It might be good to break your fantasy early."
Rita said with a smile.
"There is no battlefield in this world where people can show a happy expression."
Raven scoffed at this.
"Huh?"
This was the first time Rita had shown a look of astonishment in front of Raven since she met her.
"The battlefield only brings gunpowder, death, and sorrow... Rita, you've been in the gentle town for a long time, haven't you? You can even forget this kind of thing."
Raven continued to mock.
"My suggestion here is that you fight the Sun Devouring Shadow in the basement of Shencheng Medical with your own hands, so you can at least remember what a battlefield is."
"That's right."
Rita bowed slightly to Raven and apologized.
"But there's nothing wrong with this kind of thinking, is there? Miss Raven also wants to live in seclusion. Isn't this also a kind of sanctuary? Because you have experienced the battlefield and cruelty, you will hope for a better future, won't you?"
"..."
Speechless.
"Durandal and that Lord should go to the commercial streets around Shencheng Medical. If you want to find them, go there."
Raven suddenly felt she had no reason to hinder Rita's pursuit of happiness, as long as she could get her island.
A little boring.
Raven began to realize that she and Rita might be quite similar. Compared to Durandal, whose brain circuit was a little incomprehensible, Raven actually understood the hateful maid, Rita, a little bit at this moment.
In essence, they both hope for warm and peaceful days.
"I really can't see that your ideological consciousness is so high."
"I just read an old man's diary. After all, the vast majority of people in this world hope for peace. The naive will eventually mature, and the ambitious will eventually be a minority."
Rita shook her head slightly.
"Forget it, I'm going back to rest."
"Do you really not care about Durandal and that Lord?"
Raven looked a little surprised at Rita, who had turned back to the room.
"This is Lady Bianka's round."
Rita said without looking back.
"Don't look at me like that. In fact, I'm probably the only person who wishes for Bianka's happiness from the bottom of my heart, you know?"
At most, Rita is preventing Bianka from finding the clue and running away.
Well, at most, she's stealing a meal. If you really want to say she's going to destroy such a thing, Rita still can't do it.
But wait? Can Bianka really find the clue?
Rita's footsteps stopped. It's not that she looks down on Bianka.
To be honest, Bianka's IQ isn't low, and her decision-making ability is the best in the world, but the problem is that these are all abilities Bianka has while fighting!
In a non-combat state, Rita thinks Bianka's head is somewhere between a fool and an idiot.
Don't think the nickname Dudu is for nothing! Do you understand that in this world, there is only a wrong name, but not a wrong nickname?
Besides, Rita has a clearer grasp of Bianka's emotional intelligence, although Bianka seemed to want to start the race when she was a child. Think about these years. Rita always thinks that her Lady Bianka is stunted in love.
Although there is a possibility that she can't bear it, this possibility is too low.
But... is it possible after all? For example, the girl suffers a heart attack, and the relationship between the two of them advances by leaps and bounds.
Well, Rita, don't lie to yourself. How did Lady Bianka find the clue?
This kind of thing is completely impossible...
"Uh... do you really regret it?"
Raven, who was also getting ready to return to the room, looked curiously at Rita, who had stopped in her tracks.
Rita shook her head.
"No, it's not this, it's just... did Lady Bianka really realize that this is a date between a man and a woman?"
Raven: "..."
Holy sh*t! You're right!
Raven thought about the scene where the other party invited her before and felt that it really was like that.
"Didn't you say this is someone else's turn?"
Raven tried her best to console her.
"It's better to have some confidence in Miss Durandal. Of course, even if she fails, it doesn't matter, isn't this your opportunity?"
Raven patted Rita's shoulder like a best friend.
"But then again, even if others succeed, you can still be a junior. I think you're quite suitable to be a junior, Rita. Do you understand your natural temperament?"
"?"
Are you comforting me or rubbing it in? But then again, when does Bianka seem to have strong emotions?
When Lady Bianka was exercising in the gym, she was separated by a wall and... blah, blah, blah! What are you thinking!
"Come on, Miss Raven, let's go inside and talk."
Rita pushed Raven directly into Raven's room with a smile.
"Eh...? Wait... Nghhhh!!!"
The stockings from her legs were shoved into her mouth again, followed by a familiar choking sensation.
Raven charm, done!
