Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

Mei raised her bamboo sword, ready to continue training.

Bronya stepped forward, took her hand, and shook her head.

"Bronya, you need rest more than I do."

Mei knew very well that Bronya had been busy with this matter and hadn't slept for the past few days.

Without her help, they wouldn't have been able to get here.

He put away the bamboo knife and returned to the house.

Theresa sat on the sofa looking at documents, mostly about the Far East branch.

Even if she leaves, she will still have to handle things on her own.

"Mei, the hot water is ready. Take a shower and then go to sleep."

"Put it in the file," Theresa reminded him.

"......Um."

Mei hummed in response, her reaction somewhat lukewarm.

Theresa gave a helpless, bitter smile, hoping in her heart that she could find Kiana as soon as possible so that Mei could feel better.

Are you alright? #Worried #Worried

[It's alright. #DerryGivesThumbsUp#]

I'm so sorry I didn't explain things clearly to Lady Lisa today.

People from Lister Corporation just came and asked me about you, but I'm a Valkyrie, so they didn't dare do anything to me.

Thank you for standing up for me and my friend regarding the fake medicine issue, but please don't do it anymore; it's very dangerous.

Miss Zi, you should leave Moonsea City as soon as possible; it seems they want to capture you.

In the apartment building, after closing the door and confirming that no one was around, he sent a message to Ziyao.

A while later, Ziyao sent a reply.

Instead of giving her a direct answer, he asked some strange questions.

For example, did she save a man? Is she missing a necklace? Has anything major happened recently...?

Anna denied it all, saying that she had only joined Schicksal six months ago, and her first official action was two weeks ago when she defended against Honkai Beasts on the outskirts of Krosten Town.

On the other end of the text message, after reading it, Ziyao was certain that Anna would not become a law-breaker.

"Change hotels?"

Kiana, who was nearby, heard that they were moving and asked what had happened.

"Yes, we've been discovered by a team of Valkyries from Schicksal, and they're quite strong."

It's not like Rita's troublesome character; all you need to do is change your fake identity and then move to a different place to live.

They don't seem very strong. Rather than being wary of them, Rita, who is gradually investigating the Medicine Museum, is the one we should be most worried about.

It seems the other party is investigating outsiders and will soon suspect them.

As she just said, changing her identity and place of residence is the best option.

The materials have now been collected, and there are still two days left until the agreed meeting day. She wants to use this time to help Kiana bring down the unscrupulous company.

At this moment, Ziyao was unaware.

This decision will cause her a huge (cat) trouble tomorrow.

Volume 1: Chapter 153 What if I took it all for real (Part 3)

When Ziyao moved out that night, she discovered that something was missing.

—A small wooden box carved with lilies.

Kiana gave it to her that afternoon; it was supposedly a gift.

After dinner, Ziyao spent some time searching outside, repeatedly checking along the road, but unfortunately found nothing.

This is a headache. Although I don't know what's inside, it must be very important.

How exactly did it get lost...?

Unable to find her, Ziyao had no choice but to return.

This hotel was special; to avoid attracting attention, Ziyao and Qiyana stayed in a couple's room.

When the receptionist saw the two girls, she gave them a slight smile, as if she was used to it.

This is one of the few high-end hotels in Moonsea City; the price for one night is equivalent to a third of her graphics card.

However, since it was World Serpent's money she was spending, she didn't feel bad at all.

Unlike the typical couple's room, there was no pink theme or overly decorated hearts.

The overall design is very simple, with a pure white base and light blue decorations, referencing color-blocking designs from the early Victorian period.

The bed is four meters wide, very large and soft.

Just lying down on it gives you a strange feeling that you don't care if it's the end of the world.

Acrylic bathroom, kitchen, living room, one-way transparent window...

The cabinet contained free security equipment, as well as a pair of silver handcuffs.

Looking at the round safety products in the cabinet, Ziyao felt even more regretful and sighed softly, wondering why she had to be dressed as a woman.

Aside from these, there was nothing else in the cabinet. I thought it would provide some special props.

However, since these are very personal items, even if they are disinfected, no one would use them, which is why the hotel didn't prepare them.

Well, basically none of it has anything to do with her.

"Servant, why isn't the game working under my control?"

Xilin, holding the handle, tugged at Ziyao's clothes from behind.

"Just click on the game screen with your mouse."

Ziyao glanced at the large screen on the wall and said helplessly.

She took out her change of clothes and went to the bathroom on the first floor. The semi-transparent glass made her feel very unsafe.

The graceful young girl in the mirror was incredibly lovely, but unfortunately, that was myself.

Reaching out and gently poking the girl in the mirror, the system's interface appeared in the mirror according to her thoughts.

[Number of Crystals * 2133]

I just managed to collect enough for a full ten-pull.

The placement of the lottery button is rather quirky; single draws and ten-draws each occupy a separate hillside.

[Ding! You have been detected to possess a 'Plague Gem'. Do you wish to sell it? (Receive 13800 Crystals)]

Ziyao clicked "No" by default, as she wanted to collect all the gems to fight against the Honkai.

Clicking the lottery button suddenly revealed a giant Houmu box in the mirror, and the animation couldn't be skipped.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained a Superior Memory Potion*1]

I got a purple item on my first draw, pretty lucky.

Looks like next time I'll try taking a shower first and then not washing my hands.

[Ding! Obtained Crimson Cherry Blossom Fragment.....]

The fragments... would be quite good as materials for making dolls.

The next nine draws yielded only unimportant materials.

Ziyao had gotten used to her bad luck and was thinking that she would ask Kiana to draw for her next time.

"Drip, drip, drip..."

Turn on the shower, and warm water flows down.

Squeeze a small amount of shampoo onto dark hair and gently massage until it lathers.

Finally, rinse off the white foam with a shower.

..

After taking a bath, Ziyao found Kiana.

When the topic of gifts came up, she perked up immediately and put down the controller.

The game abruptly ended during the intense boss battle.

Compared to the game, Ziyao was clearly more important to her.

"Hey, it's open? How is it? Do you like it?"

"Well, how should I put it..."

Faced with the girl's expectant gaze, Ziyao told the truth.

"...Disappeared?"

Kiana's pupils narrowed for a moment, then she immediately shook her head and smiled again.

"It's alright, it's just a piece of jewelry, Ziyao, you don't need to worry about it too much."

The girl's eyes dimmed slightly as she spoke with difficulty.

Kiana felt partly responsible for not properly explaining that it was a gift.

I have absolutely no intention of blaming Ziyao.

I can only blame myself for being too hasty. If I could send it out tomorrow, that would be great.

Kiana, are you really okay?

"No, no, no, not at all. It's not valuable. I can easily get you several more."

Kiana patted her chest confidently.
