Chapter 108: Rita is Working Hard Too
***
Above the diterranean Sea at Schicksal headquarters, the Valkyrie training grounds.
Under the admiring gazes of many Valkyries, a blonde girl dressed in tight training clothes was active in the training field, facing off against a massive beast shadow.
The enormous size, chilling fangs, and fierce appearance, this was a terrifying monster that would make most people pale with fear.
— Emperor-class Honkai Beast: Ganesha.
A powerful Honkai Beast that would require an entire squad of A-rank Valkyries, or even necessitate deploying one of Schicksal’s three S-rank Valkyries to defeat alone.
Of course—
The Ganesha before her wasn’t one that had appeared in the records. It was rely a hypothetical training tool virtualized by Schicksal’s developed virtual combat system based on data recorded in Schicksal’s database.
That said, there was no doubt its strength was no less than that of a real Ganesha.
Ordinary Valkyries’ training would never be able to, nor have the authority to, face such a terrifying beast.
But—
Codenad 【Durandal】, real na Bianca Ataegina, as the strongest among Schicksal’s current three S-rank Valkyries, the blonde girl who had inherited the bloodline of the previous strongest S-rank Valkyrie Cecilia Schariac, appeared so effortless when facing Ganesha.
The enraged Ganesha pawed at the ground with its strong and powerful thick hind legs, then with a roar, charged toward the human figure that seed infinitely small in comparison.
Unfortunately, this attack was easily dodged by the blonde girl, who even while leaping into mid-air could wield the alloy spear in her hands and thrust it down toward Ganesha’s weak points recorded in the files.
The entire sequence of movents was fluid, highlighting her proficiency.
— In fact, this was already the 38th Ganesha that had fallen to Durandal’s hands.
As Schicksal headquarters’ famous overachiever, Miss Silly Goose’s training intensity was outrageous.
She was either on her way to work or on her way to training, and every day an innocent Ganesha would beco this training maniac’s sparring partner.
Thank goodness Schicksal had developed the virtual combat system, or else all the Emperor-class Honkai Beasts born in this world combined probably wouldn’t be enough for Super Silly Goose to kill.
The heavy standard cavalry spear forged from special alloy crashed to the ground, the Ganesha behind her slowly dissolved into data particles, while the virtual combat system record on the side clearly showed — 2 minutes and 36 seconds.
Seeing this record, Silly Goose frowned, clearly sowhat dissatisfied.
Yesterday she had dealt with that Ganesha in only 32 seconds, but today it actually took 4 seconds longer!?
This wouldn’t do at all! It seed her training had been a bit lax. She decided that her future training would need to be doubled!
Durandal calculated her future training plans in her mind.
After leaving the field made of high-strength alloy steel, she was unsurprisingly greeted by a bunch of exclamations from her fellow Valkyries — cheers like “Lady Durandal is so cool!” and such.
She had already gotten used to this situation, smiled and greeted those Valkyries, then returned to the changing room, picked up a towel and began wiping the fine sweat from her forehead. As she wiped, Durandal paused, feeling like sothing was off.
She looked at the towel in her hand, then looked around, instantly realizing what it was.
Oh, Rita wasn’t here.
Usually after training, Rita would appear nearby, then stand to the side with a smile, holding towels, tea, and other beverages.
Although Durandal would also feel this was inappropriate, even as an S-rank Valkyrie, she didn’t particularly like that kind of service, but with Rita suddenly not by her side, she still felt sowhat unaccustod.
That said, she didn’t mind much, since the fate of Valkyries was to fight against Honkai and carry out missions. In the past, the two had been separated before.
“I rember the Overseer saying that Rita seed to have gone to the Far East to carry out so mission.”
Durandal, who had finished drinking her salt water, also hung the sweat-soaked towel on the rack, then recalled her good friend’s whereabouts.
She nodded and showed a smile:
“Mm… I suddenly miss her a bit. Let try calling her.”
Taking out Schicksal’s specially made communication device, Durandal dialed Rita’s communication frequency.
Beep beep beep~
Uh… is she busy?
Seeing this situation, Silly Goose thought so, and felt she couldn’t disturb her good friend’s mission execution, so she imdiately planned to hang up the communication.
But just as she was about to hang up the next mont, the communication was connected, and on the other side of the video was Rita’s face, though very close to the cara.
“Mm… why did Lady Durandal suddenly think to actively contact Rita? Hmm… is there sothing wrong?”
Rita’s seductive voice carried so strange intonation, like she was moan… ahem, in any case, Durandal didn’t notice anything unusual about it, just took it as normal, while feeling sowhat embarrassed:
“It’s nothing really, I just suddenly wanted to see you… uh, the Overseer said you’re carrying out a mission in the Far East. I shouldn’t be disturbing you, right? If I’m disturbing you, let’s not chat, business cos first.”
Usually it was Rita who teased and played with her, but this ti suddenly calling because she missed her, although Miss Silly Goose was straightforward and didn’t think there was anything wrong with this, she still unconsciously blushed a little.
But while blushing, she also hadn’t forgotten that her good friend was carrying out a mission in the Far East. From a Valkyrie’s perspective, Durandal didn’t want her presumptuous contact to cause any accidents with Rita’s mission.
“How… mm… how could that be? Rita’s… mission in the Far East is going quite smoothly, hmm.”
“But… mm, rather than that, Lady Durandal actually took the initiative… to contact Rita, mm… Rita is quite moved, ah~”
The seductive soft voice let out a sweet moan at this mont, and such an obvious situation naturally made Durandal feel sowhat strange.
“What’s wrong with you, Rita… your face seems a bit red?”
And that look in her eyes was also sowhat hazy…
“Mm… it’s nothing, Rita was just a bit tired from coming to the Far East, and got a bit feverish from running around investigating recently…”
“Feverish…?”
A question mark appeared above Durandal’s head.
Not that Valkyries couldn’t get sick — after all, Valkyries were still human, and as long as they were human, they couldn’t escape illness and pain.
But S-rank Valkyries were all beings with extrely high physical fitness, so such minor illnesses were still very difficult to catch.
But she didn’t think much of it, since even if the probability was small, wasn’t it still possible? Perhaps Rita just happened to encounter this possibility?
“If that’s the case, then let’s not chat for now. Rita, you should also take care of your body.”
“Mm… thank you for Lady Durandal’s concern… hmm…”
— Whether it was an illusion or not, at the mont the call ended, Silly Goose seed to see a trace of white.
It should be an illusion.
…But Rita is working hard too, to actually get sick.
Durandal sighed with such sentint.
