Please Give Flowers / Durandal: What? Rita Has a Man and Doesn't Want Me Anymore?!
"If it's possible, could you please do it again later? I'd like to record it as my future ringtone."
Bai Ge nodded to indicate that of course there was no problem.
After that, both of their questions were exceptionally serious.
It has been proven that as long as we avoid speaking in riddles and riddles and speak frankly, the difficulty of communication between people will drop dramatically, and we will be able to understand each other without any conversation skills.
In just a few minutes, Bai Ge and Rita learned about each other's likes and dislikes, as well as some of their unique quirks, creating an incredibly pleasant and harmonious atmosphere.
Theresa on the stairs was completely dumbfounded.
From her perspective, the two of them were introducing themselves like they were going on a blind date. Although she knew in her heart that they didn't have any romantic feelings for each other, she still felt like she had been fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
Meanwhile, when it was Rita's turn to ask a question again...
She also asked the question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time.
"Lord Bai Ge, please tell me why you trust Rita so much, as if you have an innate affinity for me."

For more than listening to the music, I recommend watching the dramatic irony of the Kafka PV; that's much more engaging!
Chapter 141, Durandal: What? Rita has a man who doesn't want me anymore?! (Please subscribe automatically)
Why do I trust you so much and have feelings for you? Hehe, that's a very simple question.
Bai Ge answered Rita's question without hesitation, and his answer was so simple that Rita was speechless.

"I trust you because I believe we will definitely become partners in the future. Besides, sincerity begets sincerity. I believe that as long as I treat you sincerely, Rita will do the same for me sooner or later."
"Lord Bai Ge..."
"As for feelings of affection, it's simpler. Rita, you're very beautiful. Who wouldn't be attracted to a beautiful young girl? Besides, I think we were destined to meet in our past lives. Maybe you were a maid on my warship in your past life."
Bai Ge said in a serious tone without blinking.
"This answer is truly beyond Rita's expectations."
Rita looked at the lie detector, which showed a green circle indicating no discharge, and was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
Trust because of trust.
Friendly because of intuition.
A certain silly goose involuntarily popped into her mind. Rita thought to herself that even Durandal wouldn't be this 'naive'.
Is that really all there is to it?
That's all.
The lie detector showed a green circle again, Rita breathed a sigh of relief, realizing she had worried for nothing.
"..."
On the other side, Bai Ge activated his powers without leaving a trace.
He switched the lie detector that his subordinate was holding down back to normal mode.
Yes, he cheated.
It can only be said that Rita was too naive to trust this lie detector built on the power of Bai.
Bai Ge's hand was right on the machine; he could use his powers to change the internal structure of the lie detector at will, so whether the green light or the red light appeared was entirely up to him.
(Well, I can't exactly tell you that I came from another world, and that I knew the whole story from the beginning through a game called Honkai Impact, and that I even maxed out your affection level, can I?)
Most of the time, the truth is harder to believe than a lie.
Besides, Rita, you're so weak.
Knowing too much is not a good thing.
Moreover, Bai Ge felt that he was truly exchanging sincerity for sincerity... although he didn't know it at the moment.
The so-called "sincere exchange for sincerity" usually only gets you a knife, a bomb, or a big mouth.
"Although I'm a little reluctant, it's about time to end the game. But since ladies go first, I'll leave the last question to me, the gentleman."
"Of course you can. Speaking of the 'Truth or Dare' game, then Rita can choose 'Truth' for the last round. Lord Bai Ge, you can make some slightly outrageous requests of Rita."
Rita raised a finger to her lips, looking at Bai Ge with a charming smile. Coupled with the beautiful scenery revealed by her slightly forward-leaning body, it made people sigh that she truly deserved to be called the Herrscher of Lust.
"Oh? What's going on all of a sudden?"
"It's nothing, it's just... since you trust Rita so much, I'd like to do something in return for that trust. Besides... fulfilling your master's troublesome wishes is one of a maid's duties, isn't it?"
"Haha~ It seems Rita's favorability towards me has increased quite a bit today, so I won't be polite then."
Bai Ge's lips curled up, and he beckoned to the beautiful maid in front of him with his finger.
Rita obediently leaned closer and pressed her left ear against Bai Ge's lips.
However, her elegance and composure crumbled in the next second. When Bai Ge finished giving her the order, Rita turned her head stiffly as if she were a machine.
"Lord Bai Ge, it seems you have betrayed Rita's trust. This request is too much..."
"It's just asking you to say a few words to her. It's not a difficult thing. It takes less effort than me playing a piece of music. Besides... didn't someone just say that it's a maid's job to satisfy her master's whims?"
"... You're so mean! I'm so sorry, Durandal, Rita is going to disappoint you."
Rita gritted her teeth, realizing she shouldn't have let her guard down; she'd fallen into a trap.
Seeing her troubled and sighing expression, Bai Ge felt inexplicably happy. Perhaps, as Rita said, he really was a bad master.
After that, Bai Ge followed the previous agreement.
He played "Vivaldi Winter" again, which helped to ease some of the girl's melancholy.
"Rita, I want to eat fish for dinner."
"Okay, I understand, Lord Bai Ge Baige."
"Okay, you can decide the details. I'm going outside to soak up some sun. I need warm sunshine!"
As the boy walked outside and lay comfortably on the bench basking in the sun, Rita's eyes revealed a look of 'I just can't do anything with you'.
She then took out her terminal and, with the authority of S-Rank Valkyrie, began purchasing an important resource—fish.
That evening, dinner at the Valkyrie dormitory was a whole fish feast: squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, scallion-baked crucian carp, pickled cabbage fish, steamed sea bass, chopped chili fish head, lettuce-baked citrus shrimp, and grilled salmon.
Kiana: "It's delicious, but what happened?"
Mei: "Such superb cooking skills, but why is it all fish today?"
Bronya: "Miss Rita is in charge of dinner tonight, and according to Bronya's deduction, the reason is..."
All the women turned their gazes to Bai, who was trying to make a living by keeping a low profile, and their subtle stares made Bai Ge feel a little awkward.
Bai Ge: "Ahem, well, anyway, it's really delicious, isn't it? Everyone, don't be shy..."
He glanced helplessly at the maid beside him, who still maintained an elegant smile, wondering if this was intentional or not. To retaliate in this way, one could only say that she was truly worthy of Rita.
After dinner, as everyone gradually went to sleep.
Rita's bedroom
At this moment, she was editing Bai Ge's love story as usual, preparing to upload it to the Schicksal terminal.
However, what used to take her only a few minutes to complete has taken her half an hour with no progress today.
Finally, when Rita finished writing the last sentence and was about to press enter to send, Rita hesitated and didn't move.
She gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"I feel guilty now, how hypocritical of me. Sigh~ I suddenly feel that if I hadn't been able to understand Lord Bai Ge today, I wouldn't be hesitating now."
Rita looked at the love poem she had edited with a wry smile.
This is undoubtedly a betrayal of Bai Ge.
Although it's too late to say all this now, after all, Rita had already uploaded fifteen episodes of Love Toad.
At this moment, memories of today flashed through the maid's mind: the trust and friendliness shown to her by the White Youth.
I also remembered telling him that I liked sunflowers because I liked people who faced the sun.
The boy named Bai Ge was indeed like the sun; the time spent with him was a thousand times more comfortable than the time I spent as Otto's Black Glove.
Rita moved her finger from the Enter key to the Delete key.
"Betraying the master one serves is the most unforgivable thing for a maid."
She pressed down with her finger, and the report that she had painstakingly spent half an hour writing disappeared word by word in a short half minute.
"If Lord Bai Ge said that these things are of no value to Schicksal, then it's fine if I don't report them."
Rita said to herself.
She then left her computer desk and looked at the bright moon outside the window, feeling as if she had suddenly become much more relaxed.
Rita casually set the recording of "Vivaldi Winter" to repeat, then took out a recipe book covered with sticky notes and began to think about what kind of meals to prepare for tomorrow.
