Chapter 617: Rita the Vengeful
The football team was divided into two teams, but Li Ming and Su Wei did not participate. One reason was that Su Wei did not seem to be good at this kind of physical exercise, and Li Ming directly refused on the grounds that it was inconvenient to wear heavy armor.
The game was divided into two teams, red and blue. Bianca originally wanted to bring Rita along, but Rita just said that the two sides should be more evenly matched.
So the red and blue battle turned into a show of strength between the two sides, while Li Ming and Su Wei stared with dead fish eyes. By the way, those parrot-headed people only had admiration in their eyes.
Please, when serving the first ball, Bianca hit the ball directly into the stands, breaking them.
Is this right?
If Rita hadn't exerted too much effort later, Bianca said she would have felt no pressure at all!
Oh no, Bertrand still put some pressure on Bianca, but it seemed to be of no use.
"Ha, ha, ha, Rita, you're only one goal away from winning."
Bianca said breathlessly, her hands on her hips, while Rita just smiled and shook her head, "Yes, [Lady Bianca], that shot was truly amazing."
"The audience is also very enthusiastic! The atmosphere is really great!" Bianca glanced at the parrot heads around her, who were simply the best atmosphere group.
Bertrand nodded. "That's right... This is really hard to understand... Didn't they just lose their monarch? Why are they still so full of energy? Is their piety all fake?"
"Perhaps this is just a cultural difference. I still envy them." Champollion wiped the sweat from his face. "Yes, the ruler is just a totem to them. How should I put it? Although that Persian's heart has gradually become twisted, the knowledge she has learned has indeed made the people here better. And now, it's just that the high priest has become the Dragon General."
Champollion looked at the cheering parrot heads and felt like a monarch putting on a monkey show for his people. "Besides, putting aside the rules and regulations - do you really care whether God's name begins with the letter J or A?"
"This..." Bertrand was speechless for a moment, while Champollion smiled and said, "Think about it carefully, our General Long."
After the Red and Blue War, Parrot Head started holding a banquet and even notified the people in Ellei Village.
The banquet lasted until the evening, and the group's journey on the island ended when the statue of General Long was erected on the temple.
Bianca, lying on the grass, looked at the pure night sky. "The stars are so beautiful. They have been beautiful these past two days. But why are there so many problems? Can't everyone just live in peace?"
"[Lady Bianca], there's no need to blame yourself. Being able to do this is already quite good. Furthermore, these things are more of a historical issue here and have nothing to do with [Lady Bianca]."
The considerate Rita has always been inseparable from Bianca. After all, she is Bianca's adjutant, not Li Ming's.
Li Ming: Then I'll leave?
"I know that without us, Iknar might die in the war, and the High Priest's Federation might be led by her into an even more irreversible direction... I just hate this feeling of powerlessness!"
"Don't blame yourself, Lady Bianca. This is not like you normally." Rita held up the hem of Bianca's skirt and straightened it. "No one is omnipotent. Even the Bishop has many things he can't do."
"Of course I know about this kind of thing!" Bianca stretched out her hand, as if trying to gather the starry sky. "How should I put it... just think of it as some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder. If I don't do my best in everything I handle, I'll be very unhappy—ah, I hate explaining myself like that. I know my personality. Maybe in a dozen years, I'll become a very dull person. But my parents, my teachers, and the Valkyries of my class—each of their lives came to an abrupt end for the first time, as if destroyed by some evil, transcendent will, as easily as shredding waste paper. I hate this, so I must do my best in everything I promised!"
She turned her head and glanced at Rita, "...This is actually similar to why you must become a maid, right?"
"Huh?" Rita's narrowed eyes suddenly opened.
Bianca smiled. "Isn't it? Rita Rossweisse, an A-rank Valkyrie—why must you be a maid? According to your information, your internship with the Bishop has already ended! Why are you still working as a maid there?"
"Hey, it seems that Lady Bianca knows me quite well!" Rita laughed happily, and her tone became cheerful.
"Isn't this just a necessary step to understanding your subordinates? Does this involve any particularly personal privacy?"
"Haha, that's not the case." Rita covered her mouth and chuckled twice. "But... this matter may not be explained in just a few words... How about this, Lady Bianca, are you willing to listen to my story?"
"Hmm..." Bianca glanced at Rita, a look of surprise on her face.
"Of course, a certain gentleman also knows what happened between a certain Valkyrie and a certain girl."
Rita glanced at Li Ming inadvertently, and Li Ming naturally noticed Rita's gaze, but he just nodded and continued chatting with Su Wei beside him.
"Aren't you curious about what your subordinates are talking about?" Su Wei saw that Li Ming quickly withdrew his gaze and asked curiously.
Li Ming just hugged his chest and grabbed the air with his hands to prevent the holy sword [Yulandel] from disturbing the emotional communication between Bianca and Rita.
"Xiaoyou, please don't go over there. Don't disturb the pure friendship between the girls! But I can actually guess what they are talking about. After all, they have a lot in common. Let me think about it, it probably happened in Manchester. But since it involves the secrets of destiny, I won't say it."
"Hey, hey, why can you catch me?" Xiaoyou actually cares more about this. Although it is also very curious about what will happen between its little master and the maid, what it wants to complain about more is why Li Ming can catch it accurately every time?
Li Ming just turned his head and glanced at Su Wei. "That's nothing. It's just optical invisibility. Su Wei can see it, right?"
A green light flashed beneath Li Ming's helmet, and Su Wei nodded. "That's right, Xiaoyou, your invisibility needs improvement. For example, it's night time now, and the light isn't that obvious, so you need to pay attention to your surroundings when you're invisible."
"Is that so?" Xiaoyou spun around, and a beam of bright moonlight fell from the sky, enveloping Xiaoyou. The sword body reflected a clear light under the moonlight.
"That day, the angel chatted with the girl for a long time, but unfortunately, they were interrupted by a rude gentleman."
Rita still had a faint smile on her face, but she glanced at Li Ming inadvertently. Li Ming, who was chatting with Su Wei, shuddered suddenly and looked back. Bianca had fallen asleep before she even finished listening to Rita's words.
"A tank-class Honkai beast descended from the sky and interrupted the conversation between the girl and the angel. However, as for the fact that the girl herself later became a maid, that was just an interesting coincidence."
"Is this why you hold such a deep grudge against me, Miss Rita?" Li Ming thought about it. When the Saint 7547 Institute created the turmoil, Manchester was indeed threatened.
And at that time, he seemed to be trying to show off, so he hit a tank-level Honkai beast away with a baseball bat.
"How could that be? Mr. Li Ming looked so handsome holding the bat. It was an unforgettable experience for Rita!"
Li Ming's expression froze. Is he really that handsome? Your resentment is about to burst out! ?△?
"Speaking of which, you finally made up your mind to tell Bianca about Ragnar, but it looks like he fell asleep without understanding the situation."
Li Ming was also somewhat helpless, while Rita sighed, "There's nothing we can do."
"By the way, Ragnar should have recommended you to join the Skyward Sword, otherwise you wouldn't have taken the position of secretary directly. Oh, no, it's probably because Amber was too busy, so the Bishop drafted her in!"
"Pfft, you guessed right." Rita recalled. "I had just arrived at the headquarters when the Bishop came to me and said, "Rita, you've come just in time. I have a new job that only you can do. Take a look at this information first. This job requires you to protect the growth of this person under all circumstances. Bianca Atagina...A-rank Valkyrie...12 years old...our youngest A-rank Valkyrie ever."
"Come to think of it, Rita, you were recommended by Ragnar to the headquarters for training when you were 13 years old, right? I remember that incident happened three years ago." Li Ming thought about it and thought that Rita should have been only thirteen years old at that time.
"Yes, the incident at the Saint 7547 Research Institute. Thank you, Mr. Li Ming, for remembering it so clearly." Rita's tone was neither soft nor hard, but also tinged with resentment. "Actually, I admire the Bishop very much. He can actually remember every A-rank Valkyrie."
"In fact, among A-rank Valkyries, there are very few who can stand alone. However, it seems that there are still very few Valkyries like Ragnar who can stand alone and have a strong will."
"Hmm..." Rita paused, then she looked at Li Ming, "Is it the same even for Senior Jizi?"
"She..." Li Ming just smiled. "Perhaps she has grown a little since that mission, but the Valkyrie Charge is also an indelible shadow hanging over her. After all, although Ragnar didn't entrust this heavy responsibility to her, she can't forget it either."
"Then why did Mr. Li Ming resign from his position at the Saint 7308 Institute?" Rita had been exposed to a lot of information by the Bishop's side. Although she didn't come into contact with much information about Li Ming, she could still see some of it.
"Because I've been asked to take good care of a stubborn girl!"
The explosion of the Honkai fission bomb that day was vaguely replaying before his eyes, along with the words of Ryusuke Muryota.
"Just like when the bishop asked me to take care of Lady Bianca?" Rita looked at Li Ming curiously.
Li Ming compared Ryusuke Murata and Otto. Uh, they are completely different!
"If it were the Bishop, he would definitely say, 'As the most outstanding Valkyrie recommended by Miss Ragnar, I hope you can take good care of this child who decided to become a Valkyrie because of Miss Ragnar's sacrifice.'"
"Haha, Mr. Li Ming has learned it very well!" Suddenly, a sickle blade [Black Iron] appeared in Rita's hand.
Su Wei immediately stepped back when she saw Rita's actions. She couldn't understand why two people who were chatting happily suddenly drew their swords against each other.
Stay away, stay away.
"Come to think of it, I was the one who gave you the [Black Iron]!" Li Mingze wasn't worried at all. Instead, he looked at Rita with some curiosity. "Rita, were you training for an assassination unit, a assault unit, or an idol?"
"So what do you think, Mr. Li Ming?" Rita's body stretched slightly, and the core of [Black Iron] was activated.
"I think the direction is actually unimportant. After all, whether it's an assassination unit or a stormtrooper unit, they're all fighting for the beauty of this world, aren't they? Besides, the bishop doesn't actually view Bianca as material, does he?"
Li Ming's body moved closer to Rita, and the hand armor of [Fire Envoy Zhen Kun] pressed down on [Black Iron], while Rita gradually relaxed, and the core reactor of [Black Iron] stopped making any noise.
"Yeah, yeah. Actually, I think the bishop is just being lazy, so he's leaving everything to you guys to do without telling you the consequences and impacts. You haven't figured it out yet, and the good Valkyrie has gone astray."
Although it looks cool that he holds down the [Black Iron] with his bare hands, you have to know that the [Black Iron] is much heavier.
"Actually, if Mr. Li Ming doesn't mind, I'm still curious about how strong Mr. Li Ming is now, even though he was able to knock a tank-class Honkai beast away with a baseball bat! How about if I cut Mr. Li Ming once, I won't be angry anymore?"
"Haha, then I think I'd better forget it. This way, Miss Rita will never forget me!" Li Ming curled his lips. Please, [Black Iron] can cut through the mecha armor with one sword. He has a problem and he insists on taking the sword. If [Fire Envoy Zhen Kun] is chopped to pieces, he will be sent by Ai Yi to wash the deck!
"Then Mr. Li Ming is truly a sinful man!"
Rita put the [Black Iron] away again and folded it into the hem of her skirt.
Li Ming had no intention of avoiding the question and shamelessly approached, "Thank you for the compliment!"
