Chapter 83

Rita's reasoning puts K422 to shame.

Well, what choice did she have but to carry Rita's things with her left hand in a cast and her right hand on Rita's back?

Left with no other option, K422 offered a frank apology. "I'm sorry, Rita, it won't happen again."

"...oh."

Rita gave a small response.

Putting aside the matter of carrying her back, Rita naturally wouldn't mind establishing a friendly relationship with this true young lady.

Although K422's little maid is a type of Valkyrie, there are very few A-rank Valkyrie like her now.

Of course, this excludes members of the Schariac Family and Kaslana Family.

Together with the Apolcalis Family, they are practically Schicksal.

The three families, symbolizing bishops, Saintess, and knights respectively, also correspond to their respective powers.

Even though Otto now holds all the power, he hasn't brought the other two major families down to earth; the Kaslana Family and Schariac Family still maintain their prestigious status.

K422, now bearing the name Kiana Apocalypse, has transformed from a pampered young lady into a super pampered young lady.

Schariac Saintess is far inferior to the current Schicksal Saintess, and even less so to the status of the second in line to succeed the Grand Bishop of Schicksal.

"By the way, Rita, why did you try on Maid Dress? And why did you try on high heels? Liv's Maid Dress comes with Maid Boots, which don't have high heels."

K422 looked down at his little maid's feet.

Although they didn't have high heels, the soles of those Maid Boots were incredibly thick.

"Ah, this..."

Seeing her curious gaze, the little maid smiled and bent down, and K422 and Rita could just see the slightly raised hem of her skirt revealing the thigh with a shotgun strapped to it.

K422 was too preoccupied to even admire his maid's Abyss Flower thighs; he was simply stunned by the black shotgun.

Rita also looked confused.

What the heck are these "handmaids" from the Schicksal? Why are they wearing this thing on their thighs?

However, K422's shock was not over when she saw her maid pull out a small razor blade from the thick sole of her shoe.

"These blades are made of a special material that won't be detected by metal detectors."

The maid stood up, a look of pleasure on her face.

She certainly didn't expect that the large, thick, and dark thing under her skirt, which she had inadvertently lifted, would frighten her two young hearts.

"So the maids of Schicksal are Combat Maid!"

K422 feels like he could blow Honkai Beast off even if he just pointed that shotgun at its face.

"...Oh, how rude of me." Noticing that her skirt had been rolled up, the maid blushed and pulled it down to hide the thick shotgun.

K422 turned to Rita and asked, "You don't actually want to be a maid like that, do you?"

Rita shook her head frantically.

Such a maid is terrifying. Even if she liked the Maid Dress, she had no intention of becoming like that herself.

When Rita shook her head in denial, K422 assumed that she didn't want to wear the Maid Dress.

"Speaking of which, the reason you want to wear Maid Dress isn't because of Captain Ragnar, is it?"

K422 heard from Laguna that Rita was rescued by her from the town where the Honkai event occurred.

Putting aside Captain Ragnar's gentle, virtuous, and strong character, she also seems to have an interest in wearing Maid Dress.

"Uh, when Captain Ragnar saved you, he wasn't wearing Maid Dress, was he?"

"..."

Rita fell silent immediately.

"What the hell is going on, Captain Ragnar? Even if you have fabric that resists Honkai Energy, what are you doing on the battlefield where Honkai event is happening?!" Of course, K422 kept these words to herself.

Perhaps because the Honkai event happened so suddenly, Laguna rushed to the rescue without having time to change into his combat suit.

But regardless, the image of Laguna, dressed in Maid Dress, saving her must be deeply etched in Rita's heart.

No wonder Rita was interested in Maid Dress.

"Actually, although the maids were rejected, they also received espionage training, so it can be considered that they were put to good use."

"..."

The maid's answer was quite an eye-opener for K422 and Rita.

Girls who fail the Valkyrie adaptability test will be sent to a special school where they will receive maid training as well as special spy courses.

Beyond the obvious power of Valkyrie, girls with espionage skills will become subordinates in Valkyrie Intelligence Collection Unit. After all, some organizations can detect the concentration of Honkai Energy in the body, and infiltrating such organizations is definitely more suitable for ordinary people who are not Valkyrie.

Therefore, Schicksal does indeed have a Hidden Secret Unit.

At least that's what the parties involved told them.

Do you still want to be a maid?

"I'm just interested in Maid Dress."

"By the way, I'm going to Russia tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?" K422 suddenly said.

Rita asked, puzzled, "Kiana, why did you ask me to come along?"

"I heard the Assault Team will meet up with me in Russia," K422 replied with a smile.

Even though Otto was confident in her abilities, she ultimately lacked experience, so he specifically transferred the Assault Team to Russia.

After all, the operation to suppress the Honkai battlefield in Russia was itself a performance by Schicksal to restore morale.

Of course, there are indeed a large number of Honkai Beast heading towards the city.

"I have to go!!"

Upon hearing the word "Assault Team, "Rita immediately agreed.

"Liv, could you please make the arrangements?"

"Yes, Kiana."

After the maid carefully hid the razor blade again, she answered with a smile.

The next morning, K422 saw her maid leading Rita, dressed in Maid Dress, to wake her up.

Last night, perhaps because Anti-Entropy hadn't solved the problem of secretly going online, K422 and True Kiana were once again unable to see K423.

However, with this satellite network, K422 is not worried about not being able to see anything.

Of course, she was about to leave, and she definitely wouldn't be able to see K423 for the next few days, or even True Kiana.

I explained it to her seriously last night.

However, there is still a slight concern about K422.

In her deduction, someone is now secretly instigating this young woman.

K422 was worried that no sooner had he left than the young lady would be completely corrupted by that mysterious person.

"Tsk, a mysterious person... I hope it's not Voldemort."

Speaking of Voldemort, for some reason, K422 pictured a raven lying on the ground.

Huh? Why is it this image?

When they arrived at Airport No. 2, Lewis's Valkyrie squad had also assembled there.

After all, she is the Schicksal Saintess and the strongest Valkyrie in the future, so it's inevitable that she would put on Saintess Parade during her procession.

The Valkyrie in Lewis's team are all quite strong. During the previous battle with the escaped Honkai Beast, Lewis used his own body to shield his teammates from being knocked away, which caused all the impact to fall on Lewis. Even now, Lewis is still wrapped in bandages, with his hands and feet in casts, and he is sitting in a wheelchair on the side.

"Kiana, your Guard Duty will be taken over by my Lewis Squad."

Upon seeing her arrive, Lewis wanted to stand up and bow, but K422 immediately raised his hand to stop him.

"Captain Lewis, you're too kind. Besides, you probably can't beat me."

"..."

Lewis was immediately frustrated.

Why tell such truths at this time?

K422 was obviously doing it on purpose.

"Don't worry, Captain Lewis, I'm very strong. So if anything happens, I hope you can protect Liv. Rita, evacuate first. Don't get yourself into trouble trying to save me."

"Kiana, this matter..."

"Let me finish. I am the granddaughter of the Grand Bishop. Of course, the Grand Bishop has prepared Life-saving Measures, so I am definitely not in any danger. I don't want to sacrifice you elites who are capable of advancing to A-rank Valkyrie because of me." K422 boasted without changing her expression.

At this point, as long as you blow hard, even people who don't have a good impression of you won't give you a sour look.

Moreover, there weren't many people in the Schicksal Headquarters who disliked K422, and after she praised him like that, Lewis and the members of her team were all in a good mood.

"Kiana, what are you saying? We cannot accept such an order. Even if we are elites who can advance to A-rank, Kiana is the future of Schicksal."

Lewis also praised it to the skies.

The two exchanged a smile, and the mutual flattery could be considered a complete success.

Lewis's impression of K422 naturally improved considerably. After all, K422's words were not meant to belittle their combat capabilities, but rather to encourage them to prioritize their future.

Of course, even if K422 truly looked down on their combat capabilities, his current statement still saved them some face.

Rita looked completely bewildered as K422, who appeared to be only nine years old, managed to completely fool Lewis's team.

Yes, perhaps that's what Lewis's team thought.

But Rita instinctively felt that K422 wasn't doing this for any other purpose. She was just saying it to make a good impression on Lewis, deliberately flattering him. She felt that K422 had even anticipated what Lewis would say at that moment.

The Schicksal's B-rank Valkyrie squad isn't without other elites, but it was the Lewis squad that was chosen to escort K422 on this trip.

It's possible that K422 was trying to win over Lewis's team.

After all, Lewis is known for his straightforward and honest personality, making him particularly easy to fool.

Rita shivered, realizing that this was the first time she had met this Saintess maiden of Schicksal.

He seemed completely different from the other Grand Bishop's successor I had met a few days ago.

Boarding the Floating Battleship arranged by the Schicksal, K422 and his group arrived in Russia in less than an hour.

Since Russia has no airports, K422 and her comrades had to travel by Escort Ship, land at an airport, and then board Ground Troops to reach the Russian Honkai.

Every year, a large number of Honkai Beast emerge from the Russian Honkai Battlefield. This year, with a lack of A-level combat power, the Russian Honkai Battlefield was the first to issue a request for assistance.

When K422 and his group arrived at the base, the Valkyrie squad, who were originally stationed in the bunker, came out to greet them.

Her gaze first passed over the damage marks left by some unknown Honkai Beast on the bunker and landed on Himeko, who was squatting outside the bunker holding a box of luncheon Himeko.

The Assault Team have clearly arrived.

But looking at Himeko's lifeless eyes and not seeing a single member of the Assault Team, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Where are the Assault Team?"

In response to her question, Laguna's voice came from inside the bunker.

"Hurrah!!!"

"???"

89. I really don't want this to be true.

K422 almost forgot that the Assault Team all had two sides.

The gentler and prettier the older sister looks, the more shocking her transformation is when she's drunk.

As soon as they entered the bunker, K422 saw Laguna lying on the table, sobbing uncontrollably.

It looks like she failed to hook up with a man.

"Waaaaah..."

The Assault Team were also constantly drinking over there.
