There's No Hiding It

"After all, if we don't consider height, Miss Aili and I aren't that different in build," Rita chuckled, then pushed Alisa in front of the mirror. "So, Alisa, what do you think?"

"It's very, very beautiful." Alisa touched her dress. "Thank you so much, Lady Rita ... and Lord God."

"No, that's not right. Now, Alisa, you should call your Lord God' master'~ From now on, I will seriously teach you how to be a maid."

Compared to Natasha's casual role as an apprentice maid, Rita clearly takes Alisa quite seriously.

On the one hand, it trains Alisa to be obedient, and on the other hand, it allows her to take over my work.

Looking at the tiny, cautious Alisa, Rita laughed again.

"As for me, well, you can call me that for now. In a few days, you'll have to call me Madam."

"Huh? How long is 'a few days'?" Alisa asked curiously.

"Ahem." Liu Bai coughed awkwardly from the side.

"Honey, you're still shy." Rita released Alisa, then walked behind Liu Bai and gently squeezed his shoulder. "By the way, do you have time to go back to Manchester with me next week? I'd like my parents to meet you."

"Next week..." Liu Bai pondered for a moment, "Hmm, I finished most of the work this week, so I should be free next week... Speaking of which, hasn't Schicksal granted the Valkyrie any vacation time in a while?"

"Although I really want to say that those girls are all incredibly bored these days... but in reality, it's been a long time since they've had a day off. Next week is Halloween, and after Halloween, Christmas and New Year's are just around the corner."

Rita also knew that being idle and having a holiday were two different things. No matter how idle Schicksal was, neither the Unfading Blade nor the Stormtroopers could move around freely. After all, these people were nominally Schicksal's defense force. Even if there was nothing to do all day, without orders, you could only go to Vienna below for a stroll. Going any further would be considered a crime.

On the contrary, if it's a holiday, people can visit relatives or go on trips, and no one will say anything.

"Then let them all be left out normally, it's fine if they're left out a little longer."

"And legally meet my parents while we're at it?" Rita kissed Liu Bai's cheek from behind.

"Hey, stop fooling around..."

"Whoa, you two..." The door opened automatically, Kiana stood outside, speechless. "Did I interrupt your flirting?"

"Eavesdropping on other people's conversations isn't a good habit~ What would you like to drink?"

Rita was in a great mood and had no intention of caring whether Kiana was eavesdropping.

"Black tea, please, with extra sugar." Kiana blushed slightly, a little embarrassed, after being caught out.

Of course I was eavesdropping, as for the reason...

"By the way, has your sister woken up?" Rita asked casually as she turned around to get some tea leaves.

"Not yet, she's even talking in her sleep." Kiana's face turned even redder, and her voice became a mumbled murmur, "Like saying things like 'slow down' or 'don't rub there'."

The reason she came to eavesdrop was, of course, to see if she could get a share of the pie like her sister! Anyway, Rita is now practically her older sister, and Kiana might not have the face to take a share halfway through, but joining in at the beginning was no problem for her at all.

As it turned out, the two of them didn't seem to have any intention of doing anything at all. Instead, they were exchanging very mushy things and flirting!

Rita, give it your all!

"I must say, she truly lives up to her reputation as Lady Bianka?" Rita's expression became somewhat subtle upon hearing this.

From a certain perspective, the fact that Bianka can talk in her sleep like this proves that she may have almost recovered.

Liu Bai had obviously thought of this as well, and his lips twitched.

So if I take care of Bianka first, then after I take care of Mobius, Bianka will be back in action, full of energy?

"Is Bianka a bit too addicted?"

"It's alright." Rita didn't seem to feel anything, instead showing a teasing smile. "I think this is still within the range of a young girl who has tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, it's just that Lady Bianka's physique is too good... It seems that it will probably take some time for my dear to 'completely tame' Lady Bianka."

Rita's teasing tone carried a hint of resentment, and she almost spilled the water.

Rita said, "To be honest, I'm not satisfied either."

The first time she was disturbed in bed by Li Sushang, the second time she was interrupted in the field by Vil-V. Although Bianka was dragged down by Kiana the first time, at least she got her fill this time.

Recovery of physical strength is another matter, and besides, the person is still not awake.

"Don't use those weird words..." Liu Bai complained.

As for the resentment in Rita's tone, well, Liu Bai can only pretend not to hear it for now and deal with it later.

However, Rita didn't intend to pursue the matter. Instead, she put away her resentment and revealed a slightly smug smile.

When it's time to go home... if I don't fight for three days and three nights, then my trip home will have been in vain!

"Come here, Alisa, I'll teach you how to make tea."

"So Kiana, what's up?"

Although Liu Bai had a vague idea of why Kiana, that unlucky girl, had been eavesdropping, he still asked her the question as usual.

"I... uh... of course, I'll supervise Rita -nee!"

"Alright, done supervising? Go back and take care of your sister after you finish your tea." Liu Bai tapped Kiana on the head.

She's alright, she has some brains, but she blurts out everything... even though there was no one else present except for Alisa.

Kiana had no choice but to take the teacup and blow on it. Rita had the temperature just right—or rather, it had already cooled down. Looking at Rita's ambiguous smile, Kiana could only drink it all in one gulp and go back with a pout. But in the end, her sister's bizarre constitution didn't need her to take care of her!

He was just knocked unconscious, not seriously injured!

Kiana felt that if she lingered any longer, her older sister would wake up...

"Let's go too, Alisa, you come too."

Liu Bai stood up and spoke to Alisa, who was unable to join the conversation.

"Just stay by my side and you'll gradually adapt to life here. There's no rush."

"Yes, I understand! God... no, Master."

Alisa looked apprehensive, but this time not from fear, but from being moved.

Even if Alisa is stupid, she can now realize that Liu Bai is not the kind of freak who doesn't care about his own life like the Herrscher of Domination.

Instead, he is a truly gentle person—which is a million times, no, infinitely better than those perverted Herrscher of Domination!

To her, this was practically Lord God.

Moreover, the other people were also very gentle, such as Lady Rita who helped me change my clothes.

The servants she had imagined were extremely perverted, the master was an incredibly perverted monster, and she would have to struggle to survive in the cracks of society—this was completely different from what she had imagined.

It's now clear that as long as I behave myself, I can live a peaceful life.

Lady Rita had shown me her schedule before, and I only needed to study for twelve hours a day! I had twelve hours to allocate as I pleased, and I would have even more free time after officially becoming a maid!

A happy life is beckoning to me!

She must do her job properly; she must sever all ties with the Herrscher of Domination for the rest of her life! Being surrounded and abused by a group of Herrscher of Domination must never happen again!

(...)

Number 967, still inside Alisa's body, remained silent about Alisa's thoughts.

Has this guy already forgotten about her? It hasn't even been half a day yet.

Tsk.

Number 967 turned the plug at the back of Alisa.

(However, considering your level of awareness, I won't double the weight for you.)

"... Why is your smile more like a grimace? Did the Herrscher of Domination say something to you?"

Liu Bai also knew that Alisa's body was being monitored by the Herrscher of Domination.

"If she punishes you without cause, you can tell me."

"Yes, it was my fault for saying bad things about Lord Dominion."

Fortunately, the Herrscher of Domination only turned once, preventing the plug from spinning like a small electric motor, so Alisa quickly regained her composure.

"Master, don't you have other important matters to attend to? Please don't worry about me! I'll follow along obediently!"

Chapter 576 It Can't Be Hidden Anymore

"We've arrived. This is the Schicksal Headquarters..." Sophia stood up as she looked at the open hatch. "It's definitely high-class, isn't it?"

Yes... yes.

Vita didn't really have any particular feelings as she looked at the mechs coming and going and the high-tech buildings.

She'd seen this level of technology before... but the problem was, that huge beam of light was right in front of her.

This is truly... magnificent.

Moreover, as she got closer, Vita discovered many small bands of light connecting to the large band of light.

emmmm...

Vita thought for a moment, then decisively suppressed her mental energy—for no other reason than seeing such a huge thing dangling in front of her, she just felt a little tempted to do something...

No, no, I must be careful with my words and actions...

Vita adjusted her state and casually disembarked from the transport ship with Sophia.

However, Sophia's pace quickened inexplicably. "Report! Vice-captain of the Phosphophyllite Squad— "

"Sophia, right? We don't need to go through all that formalities."

Liu Bai waved his hand as he watched Sophia rushing towards him.

"This is a nice first meeting. I'm your new leader Liu Bai... This must be Miss Vita, right?"

Liu Bai was feeling quite tired today due to having too many things to do, so he didn't want to waste too much time on social media.

"Hmm... yes, Vita, greet Lord Liu Bai."

Call...

Vita took a deep breath.

"Hello! My name is Vita, the 'Vie' as in 'teeth gently biting the lip,' and the 'Ta' as in 'tongue lightly flicking the teeth.'"

Vita said in a playful and cute voice.

However, from the deep breaths he took before speaking, both Liu Bai and Rita sensed a kind of restraint.

(Are you feeling reserved...?)

Liu Bai quickly reviewed the situation in his mind.

Why would a villain who could scare Sue look so reserved when he sees her?

Or is this just an act, playing the role of a naive young girl?

Wrong...

Liu Bai looked into Vita's eyes, and their gazes met.

Vita quickly looked away, but she didn't show any surprise.

Still... reserved? A hint of awkwardness mixed in with that reserve.

This reaction was as if he knew he was special.

"Vita, what is your purpose in becoming Valkyrie?"

"... Of course, it's to save the world."

From the moment their eyes met, Vita knew that this person had probably discovered the flaw in her identity.

Therefore, what I need to do next is to take sides and show my goodwill as much as possible without revealing my identity the Awakened One.

If I fail... well, failure isn't a big deal. At worst, I can just go to jail and let time prove my good intentions.

If all else fails, sell the Awakened One; if you ask, it'll be the sage speaking, and you'll have no choice but to comply.

"Lord Liu Bai, you may not know this, but my hometown was Honkai by the Honkai! So my current efforts are to prevent what happened from happening again."

Vita didn't say anything like "joining Schicksal to become Valkyrie is for..." Instead, she used "the effort I'm putting in now."

It sounded slightly awkward to Sophia, but it was quite amusing to Liu Bai and Rita.

Should he step out of his current role and directly express his goodwill?

However, Liu Bai and Rita were genuinely surprised that the other party would express goodwill so directly, and for a moment they didn't know how to respond.

"... Ms. Vita, what are your strengths? What type of Valkyrie do you want to become in the future?" Liu Bai pondered for a moment before continuing to ask, "And what about salary?"
