"What did you just say..."
After making sure Tian Shi had left, Rita opened her eyes with a flushed face.
"The atmosphere just now..."
Wasn't that atmosphere too strange?
It was as if I was having a date with Tian Shi.
Although the maid is calm and elegant, as she said before, Tian Shi is her first male friend.
Originally, Rita wanted to communicate with Tian Shi the way she communicated with Durandal, but halfway through the communication, she inexplicably paid attention to his gender... even though it was obvious that the other party was just a phantom.
And... Rita!
How dare you ask a thing like the number of experiences!
Wouldn't it be terrible if I were mistaken for a shameless woman?
With her head covered with the quilt, the perfect maid revealed her girlish shyness alone in the quiet bed in the dark of night.
"Rita is truly powerful in all aspects."
Tian Shi, who floated into the hallway, couldn't help but sigh.
To be honest, Tian Shi had an inexplicable "sense of love" a moment ago... This made Tian Shi, a "single ghost," feel a little embarrassed.
After all, he had never really been in love, and he had never met a "bad woman" like Rita, who had great offense and defense.
Although the fragrance is truly fragrant... No, it's not that Tian Shi feels he's in love or anything, but Rita's "girlfriend vibe" is too strong.
I didn't think much of it just now, but now, after leaving the room, Tian Shi reacted a little slowly: Didn't the discussion just now seem like a couple's discussion?
Moreover, Rita's behavior just now was truly what a girl in love would do.
The previous hosts were more or less reserved. Even Mobius, the most active one, didn't take the initiative when she was 18.
At most, she used her body to intentionally or unintentionally seduce Tian Shi.
She wanted to take the initiative at 28, but she was blocked by Fu Hua.
She had no chance to do anything.
Not to mention the others, the most proactive among them was Einstein, the natural curly-haired girl.
And now Rita is simply in the right place and at the right time.
No one was in the way, Rita's aggressiveness and charm were through the roof, and there was a quiet atmosphere in the room after the lights were turned off.
Besides, although Tian Shi is a gentleman, he felt a little moved.
Sweet love or something... Tian Shi felt he should take it slow.
Otherwise, if that feeling continued, perhaps he would even have thought of a name for his child tomorrow morning.
For example, his name would be Tian... cough.
Moreover, when he left, Rita's compatibility increased significantly, which showed that Rita was just pretending to be asleep.
This makes him feel even more embarrassed.
Tian Shi even felt that if he weren't a ghost, he might actually reach base tonight... Well, Tian Shi admitted that this idea was a bit far-fetched.
"Simulation... I have to simulate once to calm down." Tian Shi sighed softly.
Although he had said before that he would take a break and save simulation times, in the current situation, Tian Shi didn't want his first greeting to Rita when she woke up tomorrow morning to be "Rita, our first child's name will be..." or something like that.
And a simulation is only one day, and the situation isn't so tense that every second counts.
However, the number of random simulations for today has already accumulated, so only bonus times can be used.
Einstein's compatibility reward was given twice, Rita gave one once, and Tesla hasn't claimed hers yet. That's three times.
"Let's start the simulation... let's hope it's a slightly more relaxing and peaceful simulation."
Tian Shi sighed, and then the simulation panel appeared in front of Tian Shi.
Looking at the words on the panel, Tian Shi suddenly froze, showing a strange look.
"Huh...?"
At this moment, Tian Shi felt the system's malice.
[Please note that the simulation is about to begin!]
[Simulation location: Quantum Sea, a certain world bubble]
[Simulation hosts are: Bianka Ataegina (Kiana Kaslana) and Rita Rossweisse]
[New plot paragraphs found: Holy Sword · Durandal]
System, are you messing with me?!
However, the system was simply too lazy to pay attention to Tian Shi.
Just tell me if you're simulating or not!
[Please note that in this simulation, host Rita Rossweisse's compatibility will be temporarily reset to zero. Once the simulation is completed, the two compatibility degrees will be added together.]
"..." At this point, Tian Shi had no choice but to endure it.
The scene in front of him rapidly changed.
When it cleared again, there was a maid-dressed girl and a younger blonde girl in front of Tian Shi's eyes.
There was no doubt that the two people in front of them were Rita, who had just become an A-rank Valkyrie and was only 16 years old, and Bianka Ataegina, who was four years younger than Rita and was now twelve (actually fourteen) years old: the future Durandal.
"Uh... It seems we've arrived safely at our destination... Lady Bianka, are you alright?"
"It's fine, Rita! Don't put the word 'Lady' after my name!"
The current Bianka is far from as calm and composed as she will be in the future.
In all aspects, she is just a lively little girl.
Even, her relationship with Rita isn't as good as it will be in the future.
From Bianka's perspective now, Rita is just the companion Otto forced on her for no apparent reason. Well, although the relationship isn't bad.
"Yes, yes, Lady Bianka."
On the other hand, except for a more childish look on her face and a smaller figure, Rita now has no changes in her personality.
Bianka, who was still a child, curled the corners of her lips.
She felt that Rita's personality, which seemed easy to deal with but was actually stubborn, was hard to handle.
"Forget it... Where are we now?"
"Obviously, it's the beach," Tian Shi took this opportunity and said.
"Who, who is it!?"
The voice that appeared out of nowhere obviously startled Bianka: "Rita, did you hear that?"
"If you're referring to the sudden voice..." Rita took a cautious stance.
Bianka also drew her weapon at this moment: the second relic, which is the second relic in the game, a pair of dual pistols.
At that moment, both looked carefully around.
"Don't be nervous, two beautiful ladies."
Tian Shi continued in a gentle voice: "I'm just a Guardian Angel. My duty is to protect the safety of the two ladies on this journey."
"Were you sent by the Bishop?" Bianka looked around suspiciously.
"How can we trust you?" Bianka no longer looks foolish at all.
"I wasn't sent by Otto, but I didn't lie about protecting the two of you... although it's a shame I don't have enough proof."
"Mmm..."
Tian Shi's words made Bianka fall into deep thought, and then she looked at Rita for help.
Rita immediately understood: even without Bianka asking, Rita would have stepped forward.
After all, Otto's mission for her was to keep Bianka safe at all costs.
But... Rita didn't expect them to encounter such an inexplicable existence as soon as they arrived at the World Bubble.
For a moment, Rita didn't know how to communicate with the other party.
"Follow the coastline; two kilometers away, there's a fishing village."
Tian Shi didn't give Rita time to think carefully and took the initiative directly.
After all, Rita is only sixteen years old now.
Although her personality is stable, she still doesn't have as much experience as her future self.
The future Rita will be so calm that she can immediately make three rules for herself without showing any emotion after being scared.
Obviously, the current Rita cannot do that at all. As for Bianka... not to mention Bianka who is still a child now, even Bianka in the future will simply be average in her eloquence.
Two thousand meters... a fishing village?
Rita and Bianka looked at each other suspiciously, unsure for a moment whether they should believe Tian Shi or not.
"Then... let me go with you, Rita, stay here and wait for news."
Bianka hesitated for a moment and decided to volunteer; Bianka had already shown her responsibility at that time.
"No, it's better if the Guardian Spirit Lord and I go... What do you think, Guardian Angel Lord?"
Rita looked at the place where Tian Shi spoke with a smile.
"Then Miss Rita, please come with me."
Tian Shi didn't care who it was, but since Rita had this intention, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
After all, he felt he knew Rita quite well. There shouldn't be any problem if the two of them go together.
Although Tian Shi feels a little strange with Rita now... Fortunately, Rita is only 16 years old now, and her charm hasn't fully grown to its peak yet.
On the contrary, she sometimes reveals a certain hint of immaturity.
[You became the Guardian Angel of Rita Rossweisse and Bianka Ataegina, two S-rank Valkyries in the future.]
[However, your first meeting obviously didn't go so well due to the two girls' vigilance... Fortunately, your personal charm is still good, and you managed to temporarily convince the two by giving them instructions.]
[After a brief discussion, Rita and you went to the fishing village you mentioned. Nothing unexpected happened along the way; after all, you had already discovered this village in the air.]
[This is an extremely poor fishing village. All households have closed their doors, and no one is seen. There are only a few thin refugees standing by the roadside. Additionally, you and Rita did not find many fishing boats in this fishing village.]
"This village..."
Rita naturally discovered the situation in this village and looked at the air around her as if asking.
Is there some kind of plague in this village?
Although a Valkyrie's physique is strong enough to ignore most plagues, it's still very unlucky to suddenly encounter one.
Why don't you ask them?
[After hearing your advice, Rita began to carefully ask the surrounding refugees about the village.]
[From their mouths, you and Rita learned that three years ago, a sea monster named 'Leviathan' appeared in the sea. It was huge, had an incredible appetite, and magnificent combat power. Under the rule of this monster, the entire village quickly became ruined and depressed, and many fishermen had to wander the streets.]
"Leviathan?"
Rita brightened when she heard the villagers' description.
Their purpose for coming here this time is to obtain "something," so... could this thing be in the sea monster "Leviathan" mentioned by these villagers?
"Let's go back and tell Lady Bianka about this."
[Rita Compatibility +5%]
[You two quickly return to find Bianka and tell her about the village, and she immediately decides to eliminate the sea monster.] Bianka now has the spirit of a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger.]
[Once the authenticity of the information you provided is confirmed, you have also gained Bianka's initial trust.]
[Bianka Compatibility +5%]
[Soon, the two arrived at the fishing village again, and at the same time began to plan how to eradicate the sea monster Leviathan. Soon, Bianka realized that, in order to eliminate the sea monster, they must have a ship that could go out to sea.]
"Let's go out to sea to fight the sea monster Leviathan! Is anyone willing to take us out to sea?"
Bianka cupped her hands into a trumpet and shouted loudly in the village.
Although the village has been attacked by sea monsters, they still have some boats.
Now the only thing they lack is a ship that can go out to sea and a sailor who can take them out to sea.
Unfortunately, Bianka's shouts were met only with cold stares from the villagers and refugees.
—They simply didn't believe that this little girl who looked to be only ten years old could defeat Leviathan.
Besides, they didn't have the courage to face the legendary sea monster.
"Why would they rather live in hunger than go out to sea with us? Could they be even more cowardly?"
"It's not a problem for them to be hungry; they're just afraid of death, it's human nature."
Tian Shi said softly: "Besides, they can't be sure of the two of you's strength. It's better to be hungry than to die."
This reason silenced Bianka.
She was just a bit impatient, not stupid. But even so, Bianka was still a little reluctant: "Could it be that we can't find anyone who can take us out to sea?"
