Cecilia Opens the Door to a New World (Continued)
The girl's brain was trembling.
"By the way Pardo, how come you can get everything so easily?"
"Hehehe, did Boss Bai Ge find out?"
Seeing Pardo curl up a certain prop with her tail, Bai Ge couldn't help but twitch his eye and complain.
"Cat ears? What's the point of you having that? Pardo, have you forgotten that you're a cat?"
"I can sell it to Sister Elysia and the others later."
"Okay, but remember to pay for it yourself next time. We don't mind you taking things, but you can't do that in public."
"Okay! Thank you, Boss Bai Ge!"
Pardo affectionately rubbed her now furry little face against Bai Ge's cheek. She had just seen Bai Ge leave behind a large bill even though she hadn't bought anything.
It was obvious that he was paying for her.
"And Cecilia too, anyway, you should have some ice cream to calm down first."
"Thank you, thank you, it's so sweet and icy."
Cecilia is in a state of heightened curiosity, so diverting her attention is the best approach for her.
The runaway girl, having tasted the delicious, icy-sweet dessert (bhfb) for the first time, quickly forgot about what had just happened.
"As expected, it's so good to have Bai Ge here. If I were all alone, even if I came to the outside world, I would definitely be lost and scared, not knowing where to go."
Cecilia savored her ice cream carefully, then smiled happily and said...
This world is vast, wonderful, and bustling, but it's too unfamiliar to Cecilia. If she were alone, even if she came to the outside world, she probably wouldn't know where to take her first step.
Perhaps just a traffic light intersection would make her hesitate for a long time and stop moving.
But luckily, Bai Ge was by her side.
Whenever Cecilia is lost, the White Youth will guide her, like a lighthouse.
"I feel like I can go anywhere as long as you're by my side," Cecilia said with a blush and a smile.
"Hehe, what you're saying sounds like a confession. And since that's the case, why don't you just join our World Serpent? How about I give you executive-level treatment, Cecilia?"
"No need for that, I am still the Valkyrie after all."
Cecilia shook her head with a wry smile.
"Hey~ Cecilia, why don't you join us? Saving the world isn't a different story, and we can guarantee you that no one knows how to save the world better than our Boss Bai Ge. He's a professional savior!"
Pardo licked the ice cream in Bai Ge and said, and Bai Ge simply gave her the whole thing.
The cat's tail is very flexible; it easily curls the ice cream cone into its own, holding it like a hand.
"Savior? So Bai Ge, you're such an amazing person. But it feels a bit unfair. You seem to know me so well, like you know everything about me, but I don't know anything about you."
"What does it matter? As long as Cecilia wants, she'll have plenty of time to get to know me in the future. Let me tell you, I have more secrets than the Stars in the sky."
"That's such a shame..."
Cecilia gave a bitter smile.
Of course, she wanted to have plenty of time to get to know Bai Ge.
But wanting to do something doesn't mean you can; she didn't have that much free time.
Schicksal is her "home," even if it's not a very warm and wonderful home, it's still the place where Cecilia grew up, and given her personality, she wouldn't betray it or switch jobs.
Unless this "family" betrays Cecilia first.
And what was that saying again?
Once Valkyrie, always Valkyrie.
Thinking of this, Cecilia tightened her grip on the ice cream cone slightly, accidentally breaking it. Instantly, the white ice cream, like thick cream, covered the girl's hands.
"Ah!"
The icy touch startled Cecilia.
Not wanting to waste the ice cream Bai Ge had bought, she hurriedly started licking it.
Bai raised an eyebrow, watching the incredibly pure Cecilia holding the white ice cream in both hands and earnestly licking it. He felt extremely aroused; the contrast between the innocent and serious beautiful girl making such a move and the overall impression was quite striking.
"Cecilia, watch your appearance a little."
"Um?"
Cecilia tilted her head, as if she didn't understand what he was saying. Her cheeks were still covered in white ice cream, which made Bai Ge pause in surprise again.
"Never mind, never mind. Anyway, it's pretty cute."
As Bai Ge spoke, he lifted Cecilia's chin, then scraped the ice cream off both sides of her cheeks and put it into his own mouth.
The girl's cheeks flushed even more, and her wavering blue eyes could no longer look directly at the White Youth.
Seeing this, Pardo decisively shoved her entire cat face into the ice cream, instantly turning her face into a white cat. Then she looked at Bai Ge with anticipation.
"I won't lick it, go wash it yourself."
"Boss Bai Ge?!"
"Even if you Pardo to be cute this time, it won't work. After all, I don't want to have my mouth full of cat hair from licking."
Bai Ge rolled his eyes, and at the same time couldn't help but recall a Valentine's Day in a Previous Civilization when a girl smeared chocolate on herself, tied herself up with a ribbon, put herself in a gift box, and sent it to him.
It's incredibly creative.
And it's delicious!
The three then went to a park to wash their hands and faces with water, but just as they were about to continue their journey...
"Boss Bai Ge."
"Well, they've finally arrived."
"Huh? What happened?"
Cecilia stared blankly at Bai Ge and Pardo, whose demeanor had suddenly changed and who had become serious. After a while, she, a near-S-rank, realized that they were surrounded.
A series of beautiful figures emerged from all directions. Each of them was B-rank Valkyrie, and there were even two A-Rank Valkyrie. Moreover, all of them were carrying Honkai Energy weapons.
There was no doubt that the Schicksal one had arrived, but what surprised her even more was...
"Cecilia, it's time for you to come back."
"Your Majesty Bishop."
Then a dog emerged, actually showing up in person to find Cecilia, which shows that it really coveted the Schariac Blood flowing in the girl's body.
Otto stared at Cecilia for a few seconds, and after confirming that she was unharmed, he turned his gaze to Bai Ge.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Otto Apocalypse, the current bishop of the Schicksal... May I ask who you are, where you come from, and what your purpose is?"
"I have no obligation to answer your question, Dog-Too Apocalypse."
Bai Ge raised the international friendship gesture directly, while inwardly sighing that no matter when or where he saw this guy, he had an instinctive urge to crush his Soul Steel face.
"..."
Otto's eyes narrowed slightly. During this time, he realized that he had been tricked by someone. The intelligence units he sent out had been deliberately misled by a mysterious organization, and the information they brought back was all false.
They even tried to frame Anti-Entropy, Otto actually fell for it, sparring with Welt in a friendly manner, even destroying one of his Soul Steel bodies.
However, it wasn't that he had lost his mind; it was just that on the night Cecilia went missing and the Schicksal's transport was attacked, the attacker was Welt from Anti-Entropy.
Besides these, the only other suspicious one was Kaslana, who was nearby at the time.
Siegfried is now under his surveillance, and no clues about Cecilia have been found around him. As for the Tibetans... Otto doesn't believe that Kaslana's straightforward fools are capable of such an operation.
However, now that he had unexpectedly found someone, Otto decided to take this opportunity to retrieve Siegfried.
(Siegfried: Damn it!)
Even with Anti-Entropy remaining as the suspect, he didn't hesitate to send people to attack.
After a day of fighting, they discovered that Anti-Entropy seemed to be searching for Cecilia's whereabouts as well, and it was at that moment that Otto realized that Schicksal had been tricked by someone.
It wasn't until yesterday, when a photo of Bai Ge and Cecilia on a date was accidentally taken and leaked online, that the Schicksal discovered their whereabouts.
An unexpected third-party force!
"Such a tone suggests that you dislike me again. Why don't you take off your mask and let me recall what I did to wrong you? That way, I can make amends."
"Apologize? Then I'll teach you the simplest way: delete your own consciousness data, destroy all your Soul Steel clones and die. That might be enough to repay one-thousandth of the sins you committed in the past."
"..."
Otto's eye twitched. He thought that apart from the fact that the person in front of him disliked him and had a considerable understanding of him, he could not find any useful information.
In addition, there are organizations capable of manipulating Schicksal, which are at least at the level of Anti-Entropy.
Otto was increasingly eager to remove Bai Ge's mask.
But before that...
"Cecilia, what are you still standing there for?"
"Your Excellency, I..."
