Chapter 332
"Rita, this is a bit outrageous."
"Oh? You didn't deny it immediately. It seems I really guessed right?"
Rita blinked her wine-red eyes, raised her hand to cover her small mouth, and also looked surprised.
Bai Ge felt he couldn't take it anymore. He raised his hand and slapped the wall beside Rita's head, pinning her to the door of the Valkyrie dormitory, and said unconvinced.
"If you can't give me a reason, I won't let you off today."
"Hehe, alright. The reason I think this Herrscher of Wind is you, my lord Bai Ge, is because your postures are very similar."
Rita looked directly into his eyes and said.
"Pos, posture?"
"The look in your eyes when fighting, the movement of your fingers when relaxing, the arc of your lips when smiling, and your temperament, etc." Rita pointed out the basis while replaying the video.
"Ah, this..."
Bai Ge's eyes turned into bean eyes.
He thought it was a reason like intuition, but he didn't expect Rita to actually give a clear basis this time. For a moment, he didn't know how to react.
Is this woman observing too carefully?
Some small movements and habits in the video, even Bai Ge himself didn't realize, but they were discovered by Rita.
As if reading Bai Ge's thoughts, Rita blinked and smiled.
"As a maid, my gaze must always be on the master, and Rita has confidence that in terms of observing you, even Miss Mei is not as good as me."
"... Don't let Mei hear this, or something big will happen."
"Of course, Rita doesn't want to die yet."
If that Thunder Queen/Herrscher of Thunder heard her statement just now, Rita felt that she would be struck by a bolt of lightning and die accidentally the next day when she went out.
However, that was definitely not a lie.
She is a professional assassin and a professional maid; she wouldn't miss any details in observing her target/master.
Since serving as Bai Ge's personal maid, Rita has been awake for about eighteen hours a day, at least ten of which her gaze has been on Bai Ge.
Although this white-haired boy is still full of mysteries, in other aspects, she does know him like the back of her hand.
"It's really surprising. Oceania Branch, Herrscher of Wind, and the Herrscher of Wind core of the Previous Civilization—you actually have such ability, my lord Bai Ge. And according to my intuition... you must have other secrets hidden, right?"
Rita's right hand pressed on Bai Ge's heart, as if to judge his reaction based on his heartbeat.
However, the next second, she found that her heart was also being pressed by something. She looked down and saw that it was a large, black, and thick 1911 pistol.
"Rita, you know too much."
"... It seems so."
Rita swallowed, and cold sweat fell from her forehead, thinking she had messed up this time.
The reason she kept talking just now instead of pretending not to know anything was actually to test how much Bai Ge could tolerate her.
As a result, she didn't brake in time.
Now she really knew too much.
She was afraid she had touched Bai Ge's bottom line.
"Rita, do you have anything else you want to say?"
"... Today's lunch is in the microwave. Please don't forget to eat it later."
"Hmm, thank you. I'll taste it carefully later."
Bai Ge still didn't put down the gun, just didn't continue to press the muzzle against Rita's high-rising chest, as if trying to make her as comfortable as possible, which was very 'considerate'.
Rita took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She didn't think about resisting or struggling because she understood that it was just a futile effort.
And without wearing armor, a Valkyrie is just an ordinary human body. A bullet from a 1911 pistol is enough to pierce her heart and grant her death.
However, just when Rita was prepared to receive her lunch box.
Bang!
The gunshot rang out.
But no pain came.
Instead, there was a pleasant floral fragrance.
Rita opened her eyes blankly and found that a few golden sunflowers had shot out of the pitch-black muzzle.
"Scared?"
Bai Ge showed a bad smile of successful mischief.
Rita was also stunned for a time.
"You don't want to kill me? I know your secret."
"Just now, there was indeed a moment when I had the idea of finishing off Rita, but I gave it up the next second."
"Why is that?"
"Does this even need to be said?"
Bai Ge raised his hand and touched Rita's head pityingly.
"Because I can't bear to."
"!!!"
Rita's breathing was chaotic for a moment. Even though she was always calm and elegant, a faint blush appeared on her face at this moment. She admitted that her heart skipped a beat.
"If, if I tell these things to the Bishop, will you be troubled?"
"Super troubled. The planned plan needs to be significantly revised. Not only will that bastard be vigilant, but my advantage hidden in the dark will also be gone. Eh~"
Bai Ge sighed and showed a helpless bitter smile.
"Since that's the case, you still let me go."
Rita stared at him in confusion.
Bai Ge's actions still exceeded her expectations. She thought she had tested this person's bottom line and the limit of his tolerance for her, but the result was like this.
Knowing that she possessed important information and had the risk of being detrimental to him, he still let her live. At this moment, Rita even wanted to pull the trigger on herself for Bai Ge.
"Rita, actually, I cheated in yesterday's Truth or Dare. Regarding the reason why I trust you so much, there are actually other reasons."
"Please, tell me what they are."
Rita asked seriously after being stunned for a moment. Her intuition told her that the remaining part of the reason must be very important.
Bai Ge said a bit embarrassedly.
"A very simple reason. Although you might not be able to understand it, you are a special existence to me. I... like Rita Rossweisse as a person."
"... My lord Bai Ge, Rita is just a maid, a spy; I am not worthy of your heart."
"Hehe, it doesn't matter. In my opinion, someone has just proven that she has turned over a new leaf." Bai Ge pulled out the sunflower from the muzzle and handed it to the girl.
"After all, your last words before death were hoping that I would eat lunch well. My intuition tells me that Rita, you will not tell my secrets to that guy."
Actually, Bai Ge was also very surprised by this.
He could be sure that until the moment he pulled the trigger, Rita didn't see whether it was real or fake, but this girl accepted it as if she were happy to die.
Plus, if she really had a heart of betrayal, with Rita's intelligence, she wouldn't be stupid enough to tell him so much; pretending not to know and then quietly sending information to Schicksal would be the solution.
"... Your trust always makes Rita flattered. If possible, I wish you would doubt me more." She also said with a bitter smile.
"I believe Rita will not live up to my trust."
"…………"
They saw this S-rank maid suddenly lower her head.
Rita was silent for a while and spoke slowly.
"My lord Bai Ge, do you know why Rita stays in Schicksal as the Bishop's black glove?"
"I can roughly guess the reason, but if possible, I want to hear you tell me yourself."
"Alright, actually there are only two reasons. First, because Durandal is in Schicksal."
Although she said those words last night, that was just a prank on the spur of the moment and a Truth or Dare ordered by Bai Ge.
Durandal and Rita have been partners for so many years; the relationship between the two has long been unbreakable.
Bai Ge blinked.
Thinking, 'So that's it.' He understood. The meaning is that to make Rita completely submit, it seems he has to dig Durandal out from Schicksal. This is no problem! It's just a matter of time!
However, if things go on like this, Otto's granddaughter, subordinates, and students have all been dug away by him. I'm afraid it won't be long before he becomes an empty-nest old man, haha.
"As for the other reason, it's because humanity needs to defeat Honkai, and Otto Apocalypse's power is indispensable. Rita used to think so before."
No matter how twisted her personality is.
No matter how many evil deeds she commits.
