Is this world of yours a serious place?

The human-shaped phantom instantly returned behind Rita and swung the giant scythe down heavily, trying to deflect the short blade of the musical note swung by Shigure Kirara.

However, the moment the giant sickle came into contact with the note blade, the note blade was not repelled by the giant sickle. Instead, the giant sickle seemed to have suffered an impact from an emperor-level Honkai beast and suddenly disintegrated into countless light blue particles.

The short blade of musical notes tore through the night wind, like a bright cold moon, and finally hovered around Rita's neck.

The blade emitted a flickering cold light, as if it had pierced Rita's neck, making her feel as if her head was separated from her body.

I ran into an old friend by chance. He was so powerful that he was unfathomable and as strong as a monster. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't defeat him.

“…I lost.”

Rita showed a bitter yet elegant smile.

When she staggered back two steps, defeat was already inevitable.

When the subsequent note blade pointed directly at her neck, four vines that appeared out of nowhere tightly wrapped around her wrists and ankles, making her unable to move or dodge.

At this point, Rita finally figured it out.

Shigure Kirara was not serious from the beginning to the end. Only when she fully activated the God-killing Armor did Shigure Kirara reveal a glimpse of her true colors.

Rita found it incredible that the particles released by the God-killing Armor were forcibly dispersed, and that tough vines that even an S-class Valkyrie could not break were instantly created.

"Lord Qiluo, can you tell me what method you used in the end?"

Rita had no awareness of being a prisoner at all. Instead, she was curious about the methods that Shigure Kirara had just displayed.

Shigure Kira crushed the musical note blade in her hand and replied, "That's magic."

"magic?"

Rita looked puzzled, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Whether it was to dispel the cold or to remove those four vines, I did it with my magic."

Shigure Kirara didn't say a word, and even the sudden burst of powerful force that repelled Rita was achieved by relying on magic.

The mainstream form of magic is assisted by language, but it does not mean that you have to speak it out to release magic.

Rita seemed to be thinking about something, but she didn't dwell on this topic any more. She smiled and asked, "Lord Qiluo, how are you going to deal with me?"

"Personally, I don't want to hurt you. After all, you are an 'old friend' that I have known for a long time. However... the decision is not in my hands."

Shi Yu Qiluo spread her hands, looked towards the shadow not far away, and shouted, "Chen Xiuming, it's your turn to show up!"

As the voice fell, Chen Xiuming stepped out of the shadows and appeared in front of Rita.

When Shigure Kirara started fighting with Rita just now, he was actually standing not far from the two girls, but with the help of Cana, he hid his figure, so he was not discovered by any girl.

PS. First update!

Volume 286: . Magic - The ability that maids always dream of

Chen Xiuming stopped in front of Rita and looked at her with his eyes lowered.

Rita has short gray-blonde hair that reaches her neck. Her left eye is completely covered by her bangs, and there is a teardrop mole at the corner of her right eye, which adds a bit of charm and maturity to her.

Even though she is now wearing her own unique God-killing armor "Blue Knight·Moon Soul", her heroic and cold temperament can hardly conceal the politeness, elegance and humility of a "maid".

All these things make Rita worthy of the title of "the first Herrscher of Shizu".

"Sir, it's our first time meeting. I'm Rita Rossweisse. May I know your name?"

From Shigure Kirara's actions just now, Rita could be sure that Shigure Kirara was centered around Chen Xiuming.

Even if Shigure Kirara is not primarily concerned with Chen Xiuming, her habit as a maid would make her address other people with respectful titles.

"My name is Chen Xiuming."

Chen Xiuming spoke briefly and to the point. He raised his hand and condensed a golden chain, which he simply wrapped around Rita's slender waist. Then he signaled Shigure Qiluo to use magic.

With the chains condensed by the power of the saint, Rita could not make much waves, let alone take the opportunity to escape.

Unexpectedly, after Rita regained her freedom, she did not try to escape, but tapped the headset to let the Valkyrie team "Immortal Blade" she led retreat first.

Although they were somewhat worried about her situation, the Valkyries of the "Immortal Blade" team all followed her arrangements obediently and left first.

"Okay - Master Chen Xiuming, I wonder how you are going to deal with me?"

"It's not a matter of punishment, but I'm just going to invite you to have a few cups of tea with us."

After that, Chen Xiuming looked at Qiyana and asked, "Qiana, are you going to investigate the Shencheng Pharmaceutical Industrial Zone next?"

Hearing the words "Shencheng Pharmaceutical Industrial Zone", Rita subconsciously looked at Kiana, thoughtfully.

Kiana put away her guns and frowned in distress.

Then, she shook her head and said, "There's no rush to investigate. Let's go home today. I also have something I want to tell you."

When she said the second half of the sentence, Kiana looked directly into Rita's wine-red eyes, obviously talking to Rita.

Rita smiled and said, "I'd like to hear more about it."

……

Seven or eight minutes later, Chen Xiuming, Shigure Kirara, Kiana and Rita descended from the sky, but did not attract much attention under the cover of night.

Shigure Kirara had experienced flying magic before, so she wasn't surprised.

If Kiana fully activates the power of the Herrscher of the Sky, she will also be able to fly. She will not feel surprised either, but just feel a little novel.

As for Rita, who was experiencing flying magic for the first time, she showed obvious surprise.

"Is this something that magic can do?"

"Yes, flying is not considered advanced magic in magic."

Chen Xiuming answered Rita's questions.

Ever since Alaya-vijnana developed super-level magic, there is only super-level magic left in "advanced magic", and no other magic.

"Magic can not only be used in combat, but it can also be of great help in daily life, such as quickly cleaning a specific area or removing stains from the body."

"That's really convenient."

After hearing Chen Xiuming's introduction, Rita immediately developed a strong interest in magic.

If it is as convenient as Chen Xiuming said, then magic would be the "best ability" that all maids dream of.

Even if magic can only be used for cleaning and washing clothes in daily life, it can still provide great convenience and save the maid's already scarce time.

Rita followed Chen Xiuming and others into the not-so-luxurious residence and calmly observed the interior layout and environment of the residence.

Seeing that the room was very clean, he withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.

Then, she saw Cecilia and the school principal Cecilia, who looked exactly the same and very familiar.

In fact, the moment Rita saw the two Cecilias, she recognized their identities, but she was a little bit unbelieving.

Although I know that there may be individuals in the world bubble that are the same as those in the original world, I am still deeply surprised after seeing it with my own eyes.

"Ms. Rita, please take a seat - what would you like to drink?"

"Ordinary tea will do. Thank you, Lady Cecilia."

Rita sat gracefully on a single fabric sofa. Although she had no sense of being a "prisoner" or "captive", she always behaved very humbly and addressed everyone with respectful titles.

Immediately, she looked at Chen Xiuming and asked, "Master Chen Xiuming is not simply inviting me over for tea, right?"

"That's it."

Chen Xiuming gave an ambiguous answer and turned to look at Kiana, "Kiana, you go first."

"it is good."

Kiana did not refuse. She took a deep breath and organized her words, then asked Rita sharply, "Which is more important, catching me or preventing the disaster of this city?"

"Catching you means preventing disaster - I would have answered without hesitation before I ended up in this situation."

"what about now?"

"Although the disaster in this city seems to be closely related to you, it is also possible that it was caused by someone else... Perhaps this city is hiding some secret that I don't know about?"

Hearing this, Kiana's eyes became sharp, and she stared at Rita seriously and solemnly, as if to confirm whether Rita was lying.

After confirming that Rita was not lying, she took out two items from her pocket.

Tianming's unified standard medicine syringe and a data magnetic card printed with the Shencheng Medical logo.

"This is……"

Rita recognized the two items, and combined with Kiana's words, she subconsciously frowned.

Although Kiana hasn't said anything yet, she seems to have guessed what Kiana is going to say.

"I'm not the reason why the Honkai beast attacked this city."

"The disaster in Sky City may be far more dangerous than you think. The secrets hidden in Shencheng Medicine may be extraordinary."

As she spoke, Kiana pushed the two items in front of Rita.

The moment she saw Rita just now, she had already decided to drag Tianming into the water, and use the power of Tianming to investigate Shencheng Medicine, which almost monopolized Tianqiong City.

Although Kiana is not very familiar with Rita, Fu Hua is very familiar with Rita's character and knows that she will put the lives of the people before victory. Therefore, as long as she learns that Shencheng Pharmaceutical is related to the disaster in Tianqiong City, she will definitely investigate Shencheng Pharmaceutical.

"……I see."

Rita seemed to have made a decision and accepted the medicine syringe and data magnetic card that Kiana handed to her.

Seeing this, Kiana restrained her serious and solemn look, leaned in Cecilia's arms, and began to mumble and act coquettishly.

Cecilia laughed silently and gently stroked Kiana's hair, silently soothing her tiredness.

PS. Second update!

PS. Rita is very protective of her master and doesn't want Dai E to encounter unnecessary and unpredictable risks, so... for the sake of Lady Youlandel, use sperm extraction on Chen Xiuming! ()

Volume 287: . Rita's decision and request for help

Rita watched the interaction between Kiana and Cecilia for a few seconds, then looked at Chen Xiuming and asked with a smile: "Master Chen Xiuming, can you now tell me the purpose of inviting me to have tea?"

"Purpose? There is no such thing."

Chen Xiuming spread his hands and explained, "Qiluo and I followed Kiana because we were worried that she might be in danger. We happened to meet you coming to arrest Kiana, so we subdued you and brought you back."

"…So it's just a coincidence?"

"Yes."

Chen Xiuming nodded in affirmation, which made Rita fall silent.

Seeing that Rita did not believe him directly, Chen Xiuming added: "The main reason is that you have no hostility towards Kiana, otherwise Qiluo and I would not hold back."

If Rita had strong hostility towards Kiana at that time, Shigure Kirara would have suppressed Rita with thundering means without waiting for Chen Xiuming to take action, instead of engaging in a "competition" to the point.

After all, when Shigure Kirara was fighting, she didn't even use the power of the stigmata. She simply condensed a handy weapon, and then fought with pure physical strength, and used a few magic spells to decide the outcome.

She has the same singing voice as Qi Luoxing, and the magic she learns the fastest and is best at is music magic.

"So..." Rita asked tentatively, "Can I leave?"

"Please."

The main reason why Chen Xiuming wanted to kidnap Rita and bring her home was to let her know who was behind Kiana, so that Kiana would not have to worry about being hunted down by Tianming for the time being.

As for the evidence about Kamishiro Pharmaceutical that Kiana just gave, it will allow Rita to temporarily form an alliance with her and jointly investigate Kamishiro Pharmaceutical.

Chen Xiuming let Rita go so easily that Rita couldn't help but suspect whether Chen Xiuming had other purposes.

As a result, until Rita returned to the Eos, the destiny transport ship where the Immortal Blade team was, she did not notice anything wrong.

Perhaps the only thing that was wrong was the golden chain still wrapped around his waist.

Compared to the beginning, the golden chain no longer had the effect of suppressing Honkai energy, and it also turned into a translucent phantom that seemed to have no substance and could not be touched directly.

But with the help of Honkai energy, he can touch the golden chain normally.

If Rita had the idea of forcibly removing the chains, the golden chains would return to their original effect and completely suppress the Honkai energy in her body until she gave up the idea, which surprised her.

Although it is unclear why Chen Xiuming left this golden chain, now is not the time to think about it. As long as the golden chain does not affect her battle, it can be ignored for the time being.

"Alvette, is there any result?"

Rita stood by the window of the bridge of the Eos transport ship, looking down at the Sky City that was like a "city that never sleeps".
