Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

“Miss Zi, you don’t seem to have any experience in logistics.”

No matter what, even if the other party isn't a pampered young lady who never lifts a finger, she's still a cadre of World Snake and definitely doesn't handle these kinds of jobs much.

Since we're talking about "letting nature take its course," why not take this opportunity to get to know the other party better and see if we can get any information about World Serpent?

“His Excellency the Bishop has appointed me to help you.”

"You will be promoted to His Holiness the Bishop's personal assistant later on. Maid skills are essential, such as serving, cooking, and eliminating threats..."

Volume 1: Chapter 186 Further Studies (Part 1)

As she spoke, Rita mischievously pulled out a maid outfit.

On the surface, he appears serious and uses a proper tone, but deep down he's a little cunning.

Seeing how close Yulandel was to Ziyao, she felt a little unbalanced.

"bishop?"

Upon receiving the uniform, the fabric felt incredibly soft and delicate.

Lifting it up, a checkered pattern was drawn on the lace at the chest; it was more like cosplay than a proper maid outfit.

“That’s right, Bishop Durandal.”

"Ahem, if you really mind..."

Rita had also prepared a conservative maid outfit, the same style as hers.

The next second, the other person's actions surprised her slightly.

Her movements were a little clumsy, and it took her some time to finally change into her uniform.

The dress features a black base with white accents and lace lining. It is very form-fitting, with every inch of fabric perfectly conforming to the body shape.

The fabric at the chest was a bit tight and cool, and through the half-concealed squares, one could see the snow-white cleavage, which aroused the imagination.

The pleated long skirt covered the thighs and reached the knees, adding a touch of conservatism to the overall look.

“I hope to learn from you, Rita.”

The girl spoke sincerely, her eyes clear.

They are oblivious to being tricked, or rather, they don't notice it.

Judging from the fact that she was willing to change into the uniform, this doesn't seem like something she was just going through the motions.

"my pleasure."

Rita smiled, feeling a greater sense of approval towards him.

From the rooftop, one can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire city.

Ziyao doesn't like living in high places, but the view is indeed quite good.

Centered around the headquarters of the Heavenly Mandate, the buildings are arranged in an orderly manner, creating a very prosperous area.

As you look out to the outer perimeter, you see mostly ruins and broken walls, remnants of destruction and collapse.

If you look closely, you can find similar traces in the city center as well.

Looking around, Ziyao couldn't find anything suspicious or worth paying attention to.

The Valkyrie at headquarters was very busy; a huge pile of documents was stacked on her desk, as if she were checking personnel data.

"Then the Catholic priests will conduct a city-wide screening."

Rita explained, showing Ziyao the workflow.

What is Otto doing?

“His Excellency Bishop Otto… he’s been addicted to games lately, no, he might have his reasons for doing so.”

Upon arriving at the rest area, the two found a figure engrossed in the screen deep in a corner.

In the center of the screen is a chessboard, and on the empty space next to it is a moving Live2D white-haired figure that looks very much like Kallen.

Each time the character with the white hair on screen wins a game, he loses a piece of equipment and his face turns red.

The game of chess itself is not particularly interesting; what's truly captivating is the game itself.

Tsk, anime and manga are really harmful.jpg

"Do you need my help?"

Seeing that Otto was not paying attention to them, perhaps because he hadn't noticed, Rita asked if they needed help calling him back.

"No need, it's actually beneficial for him to do nothing."

After all, nobody wants to be stabbed in the back.

Cleverness alone is not enough to deal with Otto.

Rita spent the entire morning helping Ziyao familiarize herself with the basic tasks.

The girl had prior experience, so she picked it up quickly.

Rita found teaching easy, and in her spare time she would often find topics to chat about.

However, the outlook for other aspects is not so optimistic.

"I'm just an assistant, is it appropriate for me to learn this...?"

Looking at the burnt cookies in the bowl, Ziyao wished she had a Mei doll.

"Of course not. Now that you've put on this outfit, I have to take full responsibility for you."

Rita took her hand and said earnestly.

Her pretty eyelashes blinked occasionally, and the beauty mark at the corner of her eye was particularly eye-catching, adding a touch of fragility to the young girl.

"My hand is a little sore, is it done yet?"

"Please hold on a little longer, Miss Zi."

"As a beginner, your talent and patience are commendable, and your speed exceeded my expectations."

In the frying pan, the roast chicken is constantly turned over and drizzled with hot oil. The golden-brown skin gradually darkens and becomes increasingly crispy.

For this kind of roast chicken, you must turn the heat to the highest setting and stir-fry until it releases its juices.

The two practiced in the kitchen all noon.

Rita looked at the girl beside her with satisfaction; she was serious, eager to learn, and quite talented.

It's a pity they are from the World Serpent; if only they could come to their destiny.

After spending some time together, Rita concluded that Ziyao wasn't a bad person; they just had different perspectives.

Why did Rita become a maid?

During the lunch break, Ziyao asked.

After a morning of fussing, the kitchen was a complete mess.

"It's a long story, but time flies by as longing turns into habit."

"Don't worry, I'm very interested in this job and happy to dedicate more of my time to it."

Rita rarely reveals herself, always keeping a distance with a smile and kind words, making it difficult for anyone to get close to her heart.

She handed over a cup of black tea, offering a perfunctory answer without directly addressing the question.

"Rita also has a question: Why did you join World Serpent?"

Compared to the world snakes that need to hide and act strangely,

Talented people like Zi have more room for development and progress in Destiny.

"Ahem... Do you really think I can be accepted by destiny?"

She is physically weak and lacks the ability to become a Valkyrie.

So delicate, like a lone boat adrift in a stormy sea, easily capsized by even the slightest wave.

"You're too modest. You actually resemble someone very much, except..."

That person is dead.

To be honest, Rita would have found it hard to believe she was dead if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

The recurring sense of déjà vu made her feel that Zi matched the figure in her memory very well.

“I always felt that she had never left.”

"Just like you, you possess very special abilities that are hard to fathom."

"Perhaps she's currently hiding in the shadows, perched high on a pedestal, coldly observing and manipulating everything..."

Rita's gaze was deep as she carefully examined Ziyao.

With such an obvious test, the girl naturally wouldn't easily reveal her true colors.

She took the other person's hand, and the warm, soft touch made Rita glance at him slightly.

"I actually admire Rita a lot."

"I've heard a lot about you. You remember everyone's name, you don't show favoritism, and you treat everyone equally and kindly..."

"Moreover, you're stronger. If we fight at full strength, I'm likely no match for you..."

In summary, he has a good personality and is also a good fighter.

If you were to choose a partner without any prior knowledge of them, Rita would be the best choice.

She gives off a very different impression.

While the paramecium was still saying, 'I'll get 50% more pay!', Theresa, feigning cuteness, was shirking her deck-sweeping duties.

Rita was always understanding and there for her, saying things like, "You must treat us when you get paid," "Please rest, Rita will take care of things, I don't want to get your hands dirty," and "Are you feeling down? Please allow Rita to keep you company for a while."

In summary, he has a good personality and is also a good fighter.

That's why, in the Gal (gal) storyline, Ziyao crossed her route and eloped...

"Hmm... Miss Zi is really good at complimenting people, it makes me a little embarrassed."
