A chat group where you switch bodies with Alicia at the start?

She casually picked up a glutinous rice ball from the plate, took a bite, and mumbled something unintelligible. The white-haired girl, with a playful tone, teased:

"Should we report this to that bishop?"

"May I?"

"up to you."

The girl didn't care.

He has fully mastered the powers of the Herrscher of the Void. Although he would find it somewhat troublesome to deal with mental techniques like those of Yu Duchen, he is not so afraid of that man.

—Rita had, of course, noticed Jiang Qiao’s unusual behavior.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, given the obvious changes in both Jiang Qiao and Kiana, it would be difficult for the other three people in the mansion not to notice the anomaly.

However, compared to Alicia, it would be much simpler for Jiang Qiao to personally deal with these three people.

For example, right now

"Well, let's forget about it then."

—Look, Rita is completely mine now?

Chapter 108 Rita is also having a tough time.

The headquarters of Destiny above the Mediterranean Sea, the Valkyrie training ground.

Amidst the gazes of many Valkyries, a blonde girl dressed in training leotard moved about the training grounds, facing the gigantic beast shadow.

Its enormous size, chilling fangs, and ferocious appearance made it a terrifying monster that terrified most people.

—Emperor-class Honkai Beast: Ganesha.

A-rank Valkyries would need an entire squad, or even all three S-rank Valkyries from Schicksal, to defeat a powerful Honkai Beast alone.

certainly--

The Ganesha before us is not a being that has appeared in the records. It is merely a hypothetical teaching tool created by the virtual combat system developed by Destiny based on data recorded in the Destiny database.

That being said, there is no doubt that its strength is no less than that of the real Ganesha.

Ordinary Valkyries have neither the training nor the authority to face such a terrifying behemoth.

but--

Codenamed Durandal, real name Bianca Atagina, the blonde girl who is the strongest of the current three S-class Valkyries of Schicksal and inherited the bloodline of the previous strongest S-class Valkyrie, Cecilia Shaniat, appears to be completely at ease when facing Ganesha.

The enraged Ganesha pounded the ground with its powerful, thick hind legs, then roared as it charged toward the figure that seemed utterly tiny in comparison.

Unfortunately, the blonde girl easily dodged the attack, and even while leaping into the air, she was still able to wield the alloy spear in her hand and suddenly thrust it towards the vulnerable point that Ganesha had recorded in the file.

The movements were executed flawlessly, demonstrating a high level of skill.

—In fact, this was the thirty-eighth Ganesha to fall at Durandal's hands.

As a notorious expert in intense competition within the Destiny Headquarters, Miss Silly Goose's training intensity is outrageous.

Whether he's on his way to work or on his way to training, every day an innocent Ganesha becomes this training fanatic's sparring partner.

Fortunately, Schicksal developed a virtual combat system; otherwise, all the Emperor-level Honkai Beasts born in this world combined wouldn't be enough to kill Super Goose.

The heavy standard-issue lance, forged from special alloy, slammed into the ground. Ganesha behind him slowly dissipated into data points, while the virtual combat system record clearly showed two minutes and thirty-six seconds.

Upon seeing this record, the silly goose raised an eyebrow, clearly somewhat dissatisfied.

She only took 32 seconds to deal with Ganesha yesterday, but today it took her four seconds longer!?

How can this be? It seems I've been slacking off in my training. I've decided, I'll double my training from now on!

Durandal mentally planned out her upcoming training schedule.

After leaving the high-strength alloy steel arena, as expected, she was greeted by a chorus of screams from her Valkyrie colleagues, with cheers such as, "Lady Durandal is so cool!"

She was already used to this situation. After smiling and greeting the Valkyries, she returned to the dressing room, picked up a towel and wiped the fine sweat from her forehead. As she wiped, Yulandal paused, feeling as if something was amiss.

She glanced at the towel in her hand, then at her surroundings, and instantly realized what was happening.

Oh, Rita isn't here.

After training sessions, Rita would always appear around, smiling and standing beside them with towels, tea, or other drinks.

Although Durandal also felt that this was not good—even as an S-rank Valkyrie she didn't really like that kind of service—she still felt a little uncomfortable when Rita was suddenly not by her side.

Even so, she didn't mind, after all, the Valkyrie's destiny is to fight against the Honkai and carry out missions, and the two of them had been separated before.

"I remember the bishop saying that Rita went to the Far East to carry out some kind of mission."

After putting down the empty salt water bottle, Durandal draped her sweat-soaked towel over the rack, then pondered the whereabouts of her friend.

She nodded and smiled.

"Hmm... I suddenly miss her a bit. I'll try calling her."

Using the specially made communication device from Destiny, Durandal dialed the communication frequency belonging to Rita.

beep beep~

Uh...are you busy?

Seeing this, the silly goose thought to itself that it was not appropriate to disturb its friend's mission, and immediately decided to hang up.

However, just as she was about to hang up, the call was connected, and on the other end of the screen was Rita's face, only very close to the camera.

"Hmm... Why did Lady Durandal suddenly decide to contact Rita? Hmph... Is there something you need?"

Rita's alluring tone carried a slightly strange lilt, like a moan... cough cough. Anyway, Durandal didn't notice anything unusual, simply accepting it as normal, and said somewhat embarrassedly:

"It's nothing, I just suddenly wanted to see you... Uh, I heard from the bishop that you're on a mission in the Far East. I hope I haven't bothered you? If I have, then let's not chat anymore, we need to get down to business."

In the past, Rita would tease and play with her, but this time she suddenly called because she missed her. Although Miss Goose is a straightforward person and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, she still blushed a little unconsciously.

While blushing, she didn't forget that her friend was on a mission in the Far East. From a Valkyrie's perspective, Durandal didn't want her presumptuous contact to cause any accidents to Rita's mission.

"H-hmm...how could that be? Rita's mission in the Far East is going quite smoothly, hmph."

"However... well, compared to that, the fact that Lady Durandal actually took the initiative to contact Rita... um... Rita was quite touched, ya~"

A soft, alluring voice let out a soft moan at that moment, and this obvious situation naturally made Durandal feel somewhat strange.

"What's wrong, Rita... your face seems a little red?"

And that look in his eyes, it was a little unfocused...

"Hmm...it's nothing. Rita was just a little tired from coming to the Far East, and she's had a fever lately from all the investigations..."

"fever...?"

A question mark appeared above Durandal's head.

It's not that Valkyries don't get sick; after all, Valkyries are still human, and no human can escape illness.

However, S-class Valkyries are all individuals with extremely high physical abilities, making it difficult for them to contract such minor illnesses.

However, she didn't think too much about it. After all, even if the probability was small, it was still possible, right? Maybe Rita would just stumble upon that possibility?

"In that case, let's stop talking for now. Rita, you should take care of yourself too."

"Hmm... thank you for your concern, Lady Durandal... hmph..."

—Whether it was my imagination or not, at the moment the call ended, I seemed to see a white trace.

It must be an illusion.

…But Rita is having a tough time too, she even got sick.

Durandal sighed with emotion.

Chapter 109 Old Man, Good riddance! Good riddance!

—Don't get me wrong, Rita isn't doing anything strange. The maid is simply receiving a massage from Kiana.

Disappointed, Mei decides that Kiana will sleep in the same room as Rita today.

Noticing that the maid's shoulders were stiff from a long day, the kind-hearted Mr. Jiang offered to help her relieve her fatigue.

Sister Ta naturally had some concerns about this.

After all, massages and such... she really hadn't done much of that kind of thing. If she had to say, she'd say she'd given Lady Durandal shoulder massages more often.

Besides, maids are there to serve others, so how can you let others serve you?

You're insulting my maid spirit! (Annoyed)

but--

Out of curiosity, Rita decided to try Jiang's cooking.

As a result, things spiraled out of control.

At first, it was just a shoulder massage, but Rita, who had been working continuously for a long time without a vacation as a Valkyrie, felt as if a switch had been turned on after being treated like this.

I felt my mind go blank and my whole body go limp.
