Collapse, Valkyrie Battlesuit Strategy Kiana, Then Chapter 3

For this sort of behavior from the two of them, Bai Yan didn't find anything wrong with it. People who were usually familiar with him tended to be more open, and joking around with each other was a daily occurrence.

"Teacher Ragna, Sister Rita, where are we going?"

"The makeup room. We're also going to try on the dress Rita has been picking out for you for a full three weeks."

"A dress?! Why a dress?! Why are we suddenly picking out a dress?! And you've been picking it for three weeks?!" Bai Yan was greatly alarmed, completely stunned.

"Hm? Are you perhaps trying to break the contract, Little Yan? That won't do, you know. If you do, we'll never see you again~"

"This requirement wasn't in the mission briefing!"

"Silly goose, the clause 'in the capacity and appearance arranged by the organization' doesn't restrict gender, you know."

"..."

Volume 1: Chapter 4: Looking Back, She Was Already a Woman

Bai Yan was firmly seated in front of the makeup mirror, pressed there by the two of them. In the mirror, there were three faces: one in distress, two smiling.

On the vanity table, foundation, lipstick, eyeliner, eyeshadow, blush... the list was endless.

Bai Yan glanced at the eighteen kinds of weapons, resplendent in their colorful glory, and tried to calm his mind.

"To infiltrate St. Freya, why do I need to cross-dress?"

"St. Freya does have male members, but if a handsome and cute boy like you, Little Yan, were to enter directly, even with my letter of recommendation, it would be difficult not to arouse suspicion." Ragna said with a grin.

Bai Yan was still not giving up. "Teacher Ragna, to infiltrate St. Freya, wouldn't someone with strong combat abilities be more suitable?"

To avoid going to the battlefield, Bai Yan had maxed out his administrative skills.

Although he was only an intern now, his actual abilities were recognized by Rita. Otherwise, Sister Zi wouldn't have used him based solely on his appearance.

It was precisely because he had bet everything on administrative work that even when Sister Zi tried to teach him a move or two in her spare time, he only managed to learn how to aim a small handgun within 50 meters.

"You don't need to, Little Yan. Your specific mission has nothing to do with combat."

Bai Yan heard a subtle implication in Ragna's words.

What did "specific" mean?

"Sigh, although I'm reluctant, a child as hardworking as you, Little Yan, has never had a chance to contribute. So, I had no choice but to recommend you to the Bishop."

Ragna could tell what Bai Yan was thinking, so he decided to tell him the truth.

"In fact, your mission this time is to approach someone, Kiana Kaslana. It would be best if you could 'take her down'."

The latter half of the sentence sounded a bit improper, but Ragna had a very serious expression and clenched his fist.

"..."

Bai Yan tried very hard to keep his expression from crumbling.

Clinging to a shred of hope, he asked, "What does 'take her down' mean?"

"Just like what you did to Anna."

At this moment, Rita added a cold remark out of the blue.

His actions behind the scenes had been found out after all. Bai Yan suddenly panicked.

He tried to sort out his emotions, but failed.

What kind of position am I in, to be compared with Fu Hua?!

"Why do I need to approach her?" Bai Yan asked, feigning ignorance.

"Little Yan, don't forget our identities," Ragna gently stroked Bai Yan's hair. "This is no longer information we can discuss."

"But don't worry, I'll quietly ask Himeko to look after you a little."

This wasn't about being looked after or not, but rather...

"However, no matter how perfect the disguise, there will always be flaws," Bai Yan thought hard and finally found an excuse, grabbing onto it like a life-saving straw, and said urgently, "If I'm interacting with them, it's hard to avoid all sorts of contact, and it'll be easy to get exposed!"

"It's okay, I've prepared special equipment."

Soon, Ragna took out a box from somewhere. The shipping label hadn't even been torn off yet when he placed it in front of Bai Yan and opened it.

"A specially made prosthetic. As long as you can manage to prevent 'Little Little Yan' from spontaneously detaching it, it'll be pretty much perfect!"

Rita glanced at the item and slowly turned her face away.

The thing was quite large, flesh-colored, and felt cool to the touch.

"Teacher Ragna," Bai Yan said, meeting Ragna's eyes through the mirror, "Why me? Wouldn't it be better to find a real intern Valkyrie?"

"Of course, it's because you have a special charm, Little Yan. At headquarters, any Valkyrie who isn't blind will be drawn to you. By utilizing this trait of yours, winning over Kiana will be a piece of cake!"

Then, Rita chimed in at the opportune moment: "According to last year's anonymous online statistics, over 95% of the Valkyries at headquarters hoped to have a chance to date Little Yan, and over 70% hoped to go further."

Ragna seemed surprised. "There are still 5% who don't want to?!"

"Because the remaining 5% have already dated him."

"Is that so! Then what about the 30% who don't wish to go further?"

Rita's expression remained unchanged as she said, "Because that part of the faculty is more senior and rational, they believe Xiao Yan is still too young."

"Oh…"

Seeing the conversation about to veer off track, Bai Yan quickly retorted, "That was a trait I had as a male, it's called attraction between opposite sexes! It's completely different when I'm disguised as a female!"

However, his rebuttal had no effect. Before he could even finish speaking, Rita had already brought in the hot water.

"Let's try on the dress first," Rita said, putting down the hot water and then, as if by magic, unfurling an ice-blue dress. With a gentle shake, she added, "And then we can consider makeup and hairstyles."

Bai Yan's protests were completely ignored.

Ragna nodded at this, very pleased with the student who was a perfectionist to the point of being obsessive.

To deal with Xiao Yan, Rita was indeed the one!

Afterward, the teacher and student cooperated seamlessly, manipulating Bai Yan like a life-sized doll for a long time.

Approximately 3 hours later.

In the makeup room, Bai Yan stared at the near-perfect girl in the mirror, his face devoid of all will to live.

She was stunningly beautiful, with a slender figure and an aloof gaze, simply impossibly gorgeous… If Bai Yan had encountered such a girl at headquarters, he might have approached her to strike up a conversation.

But at this moment, he tightly pressed his lips together, filled with bitter resentment, because this beautiful girl was himself.

Looking at the unparalleled beauty in the mirror was truly despair-inducing!

The moment he felt this way, the person in the mirror immediately responded with a pitiable expression.

Seeing this, Bai Yan cursed inwardly: I really should slap myself, to think that even I find myself so pleasing to the eye!

There's no escaping this fate…

Ragna, while making "tsk tsk" sounds of admiration, touched up his makeup.

Meanwhile, Rita's eyes gradually softened as the makeup and styling took shape.

Perfect!

She finally understood why she had always felt that something was still slightly off about Xiao Yan.

She was already so beautiful, why was she still missing that one last touch?

It was only at this moment that she understood the truth.

As expected of Teacher Ragna, he easily came up with an idea that she had racked her brain for but couldn't find.

Indeed, her own judgment wasn't perfect enough!

After the makeup was finished, the two Valkyries circled Bai Yan several times, unable to tear their eyes away.

"Two beautiful Valkyries, it's been 3 hours, can't you please show some mercy?"

"Don't make a sound!"

Ragna cupped Bai Yan's mouth – fearing she might smudge the lipstick – and said with a slightly stern tone.

"From now on, you are strictly forbidden from speaking in your male voice!"

Rita nodded gently, deeply agreeing.

"Is this okay then?"

Bai Yan's altered falsetto was clean and cool, sounding about 70% similar to a certain fox who loved blessing others with guaranteed gacha pulls.

"That's more like it."

However, he still wasn't free, as the British maid was still pursuing the refinement of details.

Bai Yan couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

At the same time, the person in the mirror immediately flashed a captivating smile, making Bai Yan himself a little dazed.

Snapping back to reality, he cursed inwardly again: "Vixen!"

Volume 1: Chapter 5: Goose: Can we form a team for life?

Rita moved back and forth, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, as if to perfect every angle of the person in the mirror.

Looking at her expression, she was clearly very satisfied, yet her hands showed no sign of stopping, repeatedly adjusting the beauty.

He strongly suspected she was using this as a personal favor again…

"Sister Rita, is it alright now?" Bai Yan asked tentatively.

The superior only let go reluctantly, looking as if she had lost something.

"Then, let's go see the Bishop."

The two walked out of the makeup room, and Bai Yan instinctively hid behind Rita, afraid of being seen.

However, he then remembered that he had completely changed his appearance; the disguise personally designed by Rita, combined with the gender confusion, was like using an alternate account anonymously!

In a flash, Bai Yan understood this point.

At this moment, a strange feeling welled up inside him.

He could no longer resist.

Why am I worrying about this? Why am I struggling with this?

It's just the Bishop's mission!

Bai Yan tilted his head back, letting the breeze lift his scattered hair as his icy blue long dress danced freely.

From this moment on, I am Bai Yan.

A strange sensation grew stronger as he lifted his head.

By the time it became so intense that Bai Yan realized something was wrong, it had already begun to affect his body.

Strength.

Although he hadn't tried, Bai Yan could clearly feel that at this moment, his entire body was filled with power.

He clenched his fists slightly, his gaze falling on the metal door he had just passed.

With this punch, it might crack.

What's going on? Why do I feel this way?

Could this dress actually be some new model of Valkyrie battlesuit?

No, I checked it when I put it on, and there were no electronic devices.

Could Otto have secretly added something to me during his last test?

If that's the case, please allow me to extend my warmest regards to the ancestors of the Apocalypse!

His expression gradually turned cold, and his steps grew firmer with each stride.
