Host Transfer · Fu Hua's Body???
Bianka looked on with a knowing expression.
"... No, saying I can 'handle everything perfectly' is a bit of an overstatement."
Rita twitched the corners of her mouth. If this had happened before, she might have humbly smiled and agreed.
But what happened this morning...
How could I possibly accept such praise when I can't even handle dating and men?!
Rita's smile had become somewhat distorted.
"Rita, what happened to your face?" Bianka seemed to notice that something was wrong with Rita.
"Nothing."
Rita adjusted the smile on her face.
"I feel like something's off about you today, Rita." Durandal was quite concerned about her best friend. "It feels like... the senior colleagues at headquarters? Hmm... it's probably just my imagination."
"... Lady Bianka, you're quite the joker."
Rita tried her best to maintain a smile.
"The senior colleagues at headquarters all have their own troubles, how could they be like me? I haven't reached the point where I'm thinking about life's troubles."
For the first time, Rita hated Bianka's overly keen intuition.
Incidentally, the biggest worry for the Valkyrie at headquarters is how to get married.
Although the treatment of Schicksal who retire from the front lines is not bad, they are all wealthy women. However, they are special people with high standards. They do not want to settle down with just anyone. They cannot find someone they like. As they get older, they will definitely feel anxious.
Himeko's situation is by no means an isolated case.
However, it's not that I disrespect my seniors.
But Lewis was able to get married and have a baby girl four years ago... Before today, Rita actually thought that her fellow single women might be a little pretentious.
However, now... although her anxiety about marriage is different from that of her predecessors, Rita has developed a different kind of anxiety.
Question: How can I prevent outside cats from eyeing my fish?
"Then it seems that it was indeed my imagination."
Bianka nodded knowingly, without any doubt whatsoever.
"But Rita, you do seem a bit strange today... Don't you think so, Liu Bai?"
"Is there?"
Liu Bai stared at Rita's face for a moment.
"Isn't this just your usual formulaic smile?"
To my shame, Liu Bai's classification only includes "normal smile" and "battlefield smile".
"It's like she's suddenly turned back into the normal Rita ..." Bianka looked at her best friend, feeling utterly confused.
She inexplicably felt as if there was a thick barrier between her and Rita.
As for Rita...
(Phew... I finally got away with it.)
Rita breathed a sigh of relief.
"It is rather impolite to call a lady's smile a formulaic smile, Liu Bai."
"By the way, Rita, I brought all the AVs from your room. Want to watch them on the ship for a while?"
Bianka suddenly spoke up and asked.
"... Huh?"
Rita froze.
The Raven beside him suddenly looked at him strangely.
In broad daylight, in front of an outsider like me, you're talking about AV? Is this your Schicksal Valkyrie?
"No wonder Miss Rita is so skilled at rope skipping."
Raven remarked, having been kidnapped by Rita once, that he deeply understood this Raven.
"But I really didn't expect Miss Durandal to be so... uh, so unrestrained."
"No, it's not..."
Just as Rita was about to explain to avoid Liu Bai misunderstanding, she suddenly remembered something.
... Those AV... animalvideos, weren't they the ones I bought with Liu Bai?
What kind of explanation is that?!
Wait a minute, there seems to be some room for maneuver here?
"... No, Lady Bianka, I've already seen those DVDs, so I won't watch them again."
"Really? That's a real shame..."
Looking at the two people in front of her who were still discussing "AV", Raven twitched the corner of her mouth. Have the S-Rank Valkyrie of Schicksal become so shameless now?
Even though he had just mocked himself, he still discussed the topic without batting an eye.
Could these two people look normal, but are actually infatuated women inside?
Raven inexplicably felt a little unsafe.
"It's alright, Lady Bianka, I can have Miss Shiora accompany you."
"Huh? Rita! Your brain—"
"This is part of a maid's training."
Rita revealed a devilish smile.
"Being able to cater to your master's needs while watching a movie is also part of your training. If you can't even meet this requirement, then you're not qualified to be a proper maid... If you get kicked out, Miss Shiora, you'll lose your mercenary pay, won't you?"
"You, you..."
"Although I don't know what it is, for Miss Shiora to give up her hatred and shamelessly come close to me, Gray Serpent must have given you an irresistible reward, right?"
"Couldn't it be that I'm a die-hard World Serpent? As a member of the World Serpent, I'm willing to dedicate everything to my Lord."
"If that's your reason, Miss Shiora, then your maid assessment would be like being stuffed into an oil drum filled with cement and then left to survive in a deep trench for a hundred years."
"... Just say you want to kill me."
"I said Raven gritted teeth."
Rita narrowed her eyes, her "gentle" smile still on her face, "So, to look or not to look?"
"Look!"
The Raven replied with a face full of humiliation.
So what if my eyes are defiled! Compared to the missions I risked my life for!
For the villa! For the children!
No matter how great the humiliation, it doesn't matter! My soul, Natasha Shiora's soul, will never fall!
"... I have a feeling that Raven has made a very bad decision." Liu Bai couldn't help but complain as he looked at the determined Raven in front of him.
Thank goodness this is reality, not a fictional story.
Otherwise, Raven's idea is practically the standard idea of a female protagonist in a doujinshi...
"Then I..."
"I'll trouble Lady Bianka to be Miss Shiora's examiner."
"Okay, leave this to me." Bianka agreed without hesitation to this "serious" job of being an examiner. "But... what does an examiner for a maid exam need to do?"
"Just order her around like you would order me around normally."
"?"
Durandal was puzzled. Had she ever asked Rita for help before?
It seems like there's no such thing, right?
Although Rita was dressed as a maid and was her adjutant, Durandal always treated Rita as a friend and never treated her like a servant.
This kind of assessment...
"As long as Lady Bianka records Miss Shiora's reaction truthfully, that's fine." Rita seemed to sense Bianka's doubt.
"No problem, this is very simple." Bianka nodded, but then asked, "What about you, Rita?"
"I'm planning to go to Shencheng Pharmaceuticals to look up some information. Would Bianka be interested?" Rita asked with a smile.
"Hmm... never mind, I'd only cause trouble if I went."
Bianka is very self-aware.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Lady Bianka. See you this afternoon."
Rita turned and walked toward the office building of Shencheng Pharmaceuticals, as if she really was going to ask Gray Serpent for information.
"... Rita, you're really blatant."
Liu Bai, who had been observing the entire operation, finally complained at this moment.
"Didn't you not stop it either?"
Rita smiled.
Rita's mood improved quickly, although she felt a little guilty for deceiving her naive best friend.
But... what best friend can smell as good as a man?
Chapter 105 Host Transfer - Fu Hua Physical Body???
"Although I did not stop it."
Liu Bai said something rather strange.
"Rita, is it possible... I mean, possible, that I can teleport to Bianka's side anytime I want?"
He and Rita used to be on the verge of a crisis of trust, so it's a fact that's hard to say.
But now their relationship has clearly reached a rather... indescribable point, so Liu Bai has no reservations about saying these words.
"..."
This is probably the worst news Rita has heard this century.
"Liu Bai, don't you feel even the slightest bit of guilt for secretly meeting with other women behind the back of Lady Shu?"
Rita silently quipped.
"I really hope that someone feels a little guilty after deceiving their best friend," Liu Bai complained.
"I will make it up to Bianka afterwards," Rita said with a smile, showing no embarrassment at being exposed.
... Are you serious about this afterwards?
I only hate that I am a ghost now.
"Is it really that difficult for you, Liu Bai, to go on a date with a lady? This is to repay your life-saving grace yesterday."
For the first time, Rita felt incredibly good about owing someone a favor.
If you want to go on a date, just use the excuse of repaying a debt of gratitude.
"I always felt that this reason was a bit strange... well, although I personally don't really care about this kind of thing."
Liu Bai thought about it for a while, but couldn't find a reason to refuse.
"But then again, as a ghost, I can't carry your bags while you're shopping on the street."
"What are you talking about? Isn't it a maid's duty to carry her own bag? Oh dear, Liu Bai, have you ever carried bags for other women? May I have the honor of meeting that lucky lady?"
Ah... without even thinking about it, looking at Rita's enthusiastic smile, Liu Bai knew this was definitely a death trap.
Speaking of shopping... I've never actually carried bags for other women, except for the time I witnessed Tesla taking Einstein on a shopping spree.
