"I never expected such an unexpected turn of events..."
After dinner, Ruan Mei's expression turned slightly somber.
Black Tower's keen insight was beyond imagination, but that's to be expected, after all, she was a genius on the same level as him.
"Fortunately, Estella helped me draw the fire."
"Thanks to Ms. Ruan Mei for drawing the fire."
Estella sighed deeply in her room, "But now I'm definitely being suspected by Lady Black Tower..."
The plan has reached a stalemate.
Are we going to have to give up for now?
No... what if Nguyen Mai/Está also starts making moves!
We must speed things up immediately!
……
"Did I miss something interesting?"
Hanabi, who had only come to her senses after the meal, rested her chin on her hand on the beach.
"Hmm... Black Tower, Ruan Mei, Aista... these three people..."
Fireworks drew a triangle on the beach.
"Has someone started plotting against someone else? Ruan Mei? Or Está? Never mind, none of them are easy to mess with. Let's go check on the others."
Hanabi decided to ignore these three people for the time being—there was too little information.
If she gets involved rashly now, she might be the first to be affected by AoE.
Hmm... but who's funny in the house now?
Hanabi fell into thought again.
Her goal was clearly to create a chaotic situation, but why is the family dynamic so stable now?
Is there any super bomb?
Ok……
Well……
...Vita?
As Hanabi was thinking, she suddenly remembered Vita, who had bullied her the moment they met.
This guy is definitely hilarious!
If she remembered correctly... that guy should be holding another meeting with the Valkyries?
Let's go! Let's join the fun!
……
Hanabi found Vita at the training ground without much effort.
Instructors Huang Quanfeixiao and others were not present, and there was no training taking place inside; they were clearly having a meeting.
A mobilization meeting...
If I were to drive it myself...
"As your teacher, I sincerely hope that you will all survive the upcoming battle."
Vita's spirited and serious voice came from the training ground.
"Neither Ms. Karen nor I want any parents to lose their daughters after the war."
Ah... that guy was spouting these clichés.
Hanabi immediately showed a disappointed expression.
Is that guy someone who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters?
Hanabi secretly glanced at Vita standing on the stage.
His expression was serious, and his posture was dignified.
She was like a real Valkyrie—the kind that had nothing to do with the Masked Fool.
"Instructor Vita, what will we get if we win?"
Fireworks are a spectacle for those who enjoy watching the excitement but also sabotage it.
"Is it just some grandiose and empty 'future of humanity'? Or is it just about vulgar money and medals?"
The Valkyries all looked at the uninvited guest, their expressions slightly unfriendly.
Hanabi's words were somewhat questioning of their will. Even if Hanabi was cute in their eyes, such a matter of principle could not be discussed in this way.
Cute? Even if you're cute, it's useless!
"A reward..."
Vita looked at the disruptive fireworks, her face still stern and serious. "How about Lord Liu Bai's right to one night?"
...Someone said something incredible with a serious expression.
The other Valkyries, who were looking at Hanabi with unfriendly expressions, all turned their heads away, giving her a "What did you just say?" look.
"What little Hanabi said is actually not without reason."
Vita seemed completely oblivious to the explosive statement she was about to make. "Therefore, for someone who has made outstanding contributions and survived, I will personally go to Lord Liu Bai to request a reward for her."
"...Wait! Ms. Vita! Is this really alright?"
After gradually understanding Vita's words, the crowd immediately became restless.
Is this something that can be promised?
Isn't that going a bit too far?
"Hmm... If it's just one night, it shouldn't matter to Lord Liu Bai. Of course, the premise is that you don't push your luck. You can think of it as 'using merit to sleep with Lord Liu Bai for one night'."
The Valkyries immediately thought of the absurd competition they had heard about before, and then glanced at Hanabi.
...It seems that the competition was organized by Hanabi.
It's said that some unrelated people were involved... and apparently they stayed overnight.
"Of course, the prerequisite for the reward is outstanding achievements."
Vita continued, "And! They must come back alive! Preferably alive and well."
Karen, standing next to her, also had a grim expression on her face.
But when she thought about how Vita was inspiring these children, she didn't want to interrupt.
And now... morale seems to be visibly rising?
Hmm... If the atmosphere before was one of tragic determination to die, now it's more like, "I'm going to make a great contribution and come back alive to taste what Liu Bai is like."
...Are you sure it's okay?
Although Karen seems carefree and irresponsible these days, deep down... well, at least deep down she's still a saint.
Nobody cares about fireworks anymore; Vita's promise just exploded in popularity.
As for whether Vita has the face to accept, it seems no one cares about such details.
Vita then offered a few more words of encouragement using the template, concluding the meeting.
After everyone else had left, Karen grabbed Vita.
"Vita! Your promise—"
"It's highly feasible, right?"
"..."
Karen fell silent.
How should I put it? It's not exactly serious, but for Liu Bai, it's highly feasible.
After all, Liu Bai himself... well, so many people have ridden Liu Bai, one more won't make a difference.
Moreover, this doesn't involve going into the backyard; it's purely about fighting on the battlefield and achieving merit, and then having Vita come based on the principle of voluntariness.
If the person who didn't want to do this is a hero, then Vita shouldn't be allowed to come.
It's unlikely that Liu Bai would refuse such a request from a Valkyrie who risked her life for him.
Well, of course, the most important thing is that Liu Bai's daily life is really ○○.
This kind of request is simply refreshing.
"Besides, there's no need to actually report this matter."
"Huh? You are—"
Karen hesitated for a moment, then immediately understood.
Politics, it's all politics.
What does it mean to have made outstanding contributions?
With such outstanding achievements, who can we compare ourselves to?
Can anyone be more outstanding than someone who carries out a decapitation strike?
Even excluding these individuals, there are sharks in the Valkyrie group, such as Theresa and Kiana.
Oh, and don't forget, Fu Hua is also nominally a Valkyrie.
It's just that these people don't need to hold meetings. For example, Theresa is already being kind by not holding meetings for others.
Kiana gets special treatment.
Fu Hua is actually from the Taixu Sword Sect; she has her own faction.
There are no detailed standards for this matter, so it can be said that the right to interpret it is entirely in her hands.
"As long as they come back alive, a little deception won't hurt."
Vita gave a warm smile.
"You agree, Ms. Karen?"
"That's right!"
Karen, whose thoughts had already shifted, immediately nodded.
"Let's do more publicity on this point!"
For unavoidable reasons, the Valkyrie's education emphasizes sacrifice.
But in reality, if even one of them dies in battle, they will feel heartbroken.
"But in practice, this absolutely cannot be allowed to happen."
Karen already understood how to play and immediately offered her explanation.
Since our own Valkyrie also eats this carrot, let's keep using this carrot to keep her hooked!
...As for why their own Valkyrie eats this radish.
Perhaps it's because many of their teachers and seniors are single these days...
Moreover, as Vita said, this is "using merit to seduce Liu Bai," which greatly reduced everyone's psychological pressure and increased the legitimacy of the matter.
If you were to say something like "extra grace," it would have the opposite effect.
So when Vita said that, these people who were already a little wavering thought about it and realized that they had risked their lives to earn merits, and then they could use those merits to flirt with their handsome male boss and have a fling. It wasn't that too much to ask, right?
Vita rationalized this seemingly absurd situation directly from the perspective of the Valkyries.
...Of course, to implement Karen's idea? Think again.
The radish you can't have is the most delicious.
