She's Really Lame Now

"Honey, can I hit her?"

As Rita asked the question, she had already raised the sickle.

"Hey! Are you really prepared to ask this?"

Seeing Rita raise the scythe, Ghost lost her composure and immediately reverted to her cheerful original voice. Although her disguise skills were top-notch, she was still an A-rank Valkyrie from the intelligence department!

"Take off your hood."

Rita seemed very angry.

Normally, Rita wouldn't bother with Ghost about these things. After all, this rascal just likes to use his ability to instantly disguise himself to amuse others. He even dressed up as Theresa before and pretended to have a mishap, revealing his large breasts. Well, that's only because Theresa wasn't around.

But today... looking at the ghost dressed like this, Rita always thinks of the ghost impersonating her and climbing into Liu Bai's bed.

Although Rita knew that Ghost's disguise would definitely be exposed once he stripped naked, well... whatever, she was just annoyed, so she decided to kill him first.

She's the kind of person who can transform into anyone; she's clearly a born vixen.

?——!

"Hey! You're really going to hit me?"

Having already removed her hood, the black-haired, spirited woman with bangs covering her eyes, just like Rita, hurriedly dodged the scythe that was being slammed down.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around, Ghost, where are your clothes?"

Seeing that Rita seemed genuinely prepared to beat up Ghost, Liu Bai quickly tried to calm her down.

"Uh, just a moment." The ghost took off his clothes, revealing a waiter's uniform underneath. "Here, Rita, these clothes."

Rita took the clothes, and her expression softened a little. She didn't ask the ghost why she had come dressed.

This creates an alibi for her; if anyone asks where she went in the afternoon, she can simply answer that she went to study with a ghost and then went for a walk in the park.

As for how the ghost gets back?

Are you kidding me? This is no problem for a master of disguise?

After realizing this, Rita's attitude improved. This guy... well, although she knew he was probably thinking of Liu Bai, she still benefited from it, so she had to accept the favor.

"Alright, let's go back."

After quickly changing into casual clothes, Rita said.

The clothes this guy made are truly flawless...

"Um... before we go back, could you please sign your name on the lining of this Alliance Leader's lining?"

The atmosphere seems a bit chilly...

The next day, at the Schicksal Cafeteria.

Although every decent dormitory in Schicksal is a fully equipped luxury suite, that doesn't stop a large number of people from not knowing how to cook and eating in the cafeteria. So, Schicksal's cafeteria, which is like a high-end restaurant, is quite lively every day.

"Hey! Eden! Mobius! I found something really exciting on Schicksal last night! Do you want to hear it?"

After ordering, Vil-V looked with great interest at Eden and Mobius, who were sitting next to her.

"Don't want."

The two answered in unison.

"If you have the time, you could do a magic trick to entertain everyone while they eat."

Given that Vil-V claimed yesterday that she could replace him and called herself a pseudo-lover, Eden's tone remained unpleasant.

"I've heard this kind of talk enough from Elysia. In the end, it's just a kindergarten joke. You'd better stop talking about it, or I'll lose my appetite."

Mobius's tone was also very venomous.

In short, shut up, you bastard!

Rita, who was eavesdropping while drinking porridge at the next table, breathed a sigh of relief after noticing Eden and Mobius's impatient attitude.

Although she escaped a disaster last night, Rita remained vigilant, because if Vil-V were to gossip, the news that "someone was hunting in the woods" could easily spread!

Don't forget what Rita's part-time job is; she knows all too well about human gossip.

Since we don't know who's involved in this kind of thing anyway, it's fine to just treat it as a stimulating joke.

However, the problem is that there is an information gap involved.

Vil-V thought she had been abandoned on the bench by her unscrupulous friends, but Eden and the others knew that they had handed Vil-V over to Rita.

Anyone can tell this joke first! Just not Vil-V!

That's why Rita doesn't cook breakfast and instead comes to the cafeteria to eat.

"Ugh... you really won't listen?"

I, Vil-V, also wanted to get closer to Eden and the others. After all, it had always been the conductor who performed. After cheering herself up last night, Vil-V practiced several times, just to make these two laugh today.

These two people, however, completely refused to listen to anything I said?

This is all out of my good intentions!

... Although she was screaming in her heart, Vil-V still looked timid on the surface.

After all, the things I retain most are negative traits like low self-esteem and social anxiety.

It would be better if she had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders or Liu Bai by her side, but now she has neither of those. She is surrounded by two strong-willed and sarcastic friends, which makes Vil-V feel like she is being bullied and suffer from paranoia.

I'm getting emo...

"I am very interested in the interesting stories you have told me, Miss Vil-V."

At this moment, Rita gracefully stood up and gave Vil-V a gentle expression.

"Should we go over there to talk?"

Rita pointed to a spot by an empty window.

"This... this... really?"

Social anxiety couldn't overcome Vil-V's latent desire to share, especially when faced with the incredibly kind Rita...

Vil-V glanced at her two strong-willed, sarcastic friends who were completely unwilling to talk to her, and hesitated for a moment before turning to the enemy.

"I can see that you really want to share. If you don't mind, you can confide in me, your maid. In a sense, that's part of a maid's duty."

Rita continued to wear a gentle smile.

"Moreover, as a junior of the current civilization, I would also like to learn about our great predecessors."

Rita's words were impeccable, and her words conveyed a desire to win her over, dispelling the last doubts in Vil-V's mind—after all, Vil-V didn't believe that anyone would get close to her for no reason.

Now that Rita had expressed her intention to win her over, Vil-V immediately understood, considering Rita's situation.

"Well... that's not exactly what I'd like to say, but, well, since you've invited me, I'll go."

"How old are you, still so arrogant?" Mobius continued his sarcastic remarks, but Vil-V completely ignored this jerk Mobius.

Compared to Mobius, even if this Miss Rita has ulterior motives, her personality is truly wonderful!

Even if Mobius were to pretend, he couldn't fake this tenderness!

Let's try to win them over!

If the other person is genuinely listening and not just paying lip service, then she declares Rita to be her first good friend in the modern world!

Chapter 491 He's Really Lame

"Anyway, that's it... well, it was pretty interesting, wasn't it?"

Vil-V tried her best to use the tone she had practiced yesterday, vividly embellishing her story of encountering others having sex in the wild last night.

But when he looked up, he found that Rita's expression was not good.

The hand holding the spoon was trembling.

"It's...very interesting." Rita's face showed a troubled expression.

Okay, to be honest, Rita feels that the story of Vil-V is more of a complete fabrication than an adaptation.

"But, Miss Vil-V, could you please not tell anyone?"

"You... you have to tell me why, right?"

Vil-V was completely baffled by Rita's current attitude.

"Miss Vil-V, are you familiar with something called military discipline?"

Rita's face turned slightly pale.

"Our Valkyrie unit is, after all, an army. According to you, that location last night should be very close to our Valkyrie dormitory... And right now, the main Valkyrie in Schicksal are from the Unfading Blade, which is my unit."

"This..."

Vil-V felt like she was starting to understand.

Rita didn't give Vil-V time to react, and continued, "This matter may very well involve my subordinates... I am so, so grateful that you told me about this, Miss Vil-V."

Rita grasped Vil-V's hand, leaving Vil-V somewhat bewildered.

No, I just wanted to share an anonymous joke with you. Your gratitude is making me nervous!

"At this point in time, if something like this happens and the bishops find out..."

"Will it be terrible?" Vil-V asked tentatively.

"Whether to expel him from the army or..." Rita didn't finish her sentence, but the grim expression on her face seemed to make Vil-V understand everything.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know this would happen."

Vil-V looked apologetic as she reflected on her earlier thought of spreading gossip.

Although there are no names in her story, what if someone with ulterior motives finds something by following the clues? Wouldn't that harm two people?

She was panicking; this kind of hidden harm was not what Vil-V wanted.

More importantly, engaging in sexual activity in the wild is at most absurd and open, which is obviously not a capital offense.

"No, you don't need to apologize. If it weren't for you, this matter might have escalated to who knows how far."

Rita forced a weak smile as she tried to comfort Vil-V.

"However, I am truly sorry. I need to investigate my Valkyrie. They are my sisters who have been through thick and thin with me. I can't let them go astray like this. I have to see if there is any way to salvage the situation. I'm very sorry. I was supposed to be listening to you, but now I have to take my leave... Could you please keep this a secret?"

"It's alright, it's alright, Miss Rita, you should go ahead." Looking at the considerate Rita, Vil-V's face showed a touched expression. "Miss Rita, don't worry, I'll take this secret to my grave! I'll go to that place in a bit and erase all traces completely, you can go ahead and investigate!"

Upon hearing this, Rita showed a grateful expression and grasped Vil-V's hand, thanking her repeatedly.

He only let go of her hand when he realized that Vil-V felt unworthy of it.

"Time is of the essence, so I must go now. If there is another opportunity, I will treat you to dinner, Miss Vil-V."

After Rita let go, she said something with a guilty look on her face and then hurriedly left.

"No wonder Liu Bai likes this guy..." Vil-V sighed involuntarily as she watched Rita's retreating figure.

Originally, Vil-V had some prejudice against Rita and Liu Bai sleeping together, but now she doesn't see anything wrong with it at all. If such a good person can't attract Liu Bai, then the others have even less of a chance, right?

Then look at my own friends... haha, putting everything else aside, none of them are as gentle and considerate as Miss Rita.

—Well, actually the main reason is that Eden and the others have absolutely no obligation to be gentle and considerate to Vil-V just acted foolishly yesterday.

In short, Vil-V felt that hanging out with this group of old friends seemed to offer no future, so maybe... she should just pretend to be a modern civilized person.

... But speaking of which, where is my breakfast? Why hasn't it arrived yet?

Suddenly, Vil-V remembered something and looked towards Eden's table.

Sure enough, my breakfast was placed on Eden's table!

Damn it, couldn't those waiters at least write down who ordered the food?!

While inwardly complaining, Vil-V reluctantly moved back to Eden's table.

"Oh, you're back. I was wondering when you'd finally come to your senses."

"I'm drinking my milk tea," Mobius said leisurely.

"Not bad, it doesn't seem too silly when you think about it now. What, did your joke scare Rita away?"
