Teresa won't starve

And to win, there must be victory or defeat.

"Go down and think about it, this is what I gave you—"

Bang!

Under Bronya's surprised gaze, Fu Hua actually used the same technique as hers, and instantly appeared behind her at the same unimaginable speed.

And before she could react, she struck with both hands in a 'non-aggressive action' and made a very ordinary 'applause'.

Snapped!

The moment the applause sounded, Bronya's brain was buzzing with tinnitus; then, when her consciousness fell into darkness, the examiner decided that the winner of this battle was Fu Hua on the grounds that she was unconscious and unable to fight.

"Final advice!"

1036 "Intrusion"

"It seems that the winner is determined."

The aunt who has been watching this side, seeing Bronya lying down and never getting up again, shook her head with some unknown meaning—I don’t know if it was disappointment to Bronya, or she lamented that she met Fu Hua was suppressed too much.

Although Fu Hua has the status of a student, as an A-level Valkyrie, she is comparable to Ji Zi, and is completely incomparable with Bronya, who is still a student.

"It's not surprising at all."

She calmly said things that had nothing to do with her, but when she said this, it actually meant that she also had a little expectation, expecting that the unchanging 'future' would produce unexpected changes.

That would make it more interesting, wouldn't it?

Of course, Rita couldn't deny that some things were better left alone.Just like her captain, if one day she becomes smarter, she feels that it will become very troublesome. (Note)

"Speaking of which, wouldn't Lady Teresa feel bored? An exam like this is held every year. If it were Rita, she probably couldn't help but want to go on strike."

"It's really boring."

The aunt did not deny the matter.

Just like once something enters the scope of work, even if it is interesting at the beginning, it is inevitable that you will often feel bored or even bored: "However, watching them grow up under my watch every day, the sense of accomplishment It’s also something outsiders can’t feel.”

It's like developing a game.

Others will be bored watching it, but experiencing it for yourself is another matter.

"Rita still can't understand."

But Rita did not refute this view, because for those who see children as the future, watching them grow is the happiest thing...

"Well, about this..."

The aunt seemed to see a certain "girl" in a trance. At first, "she" only regarded the aunt as a moving doll, but it made the aunt at that time realize what a "human being" is.

Only now--

The aunt turned her head to avoid Rita seeing the dim light in her eyes: "Perhaps you will understand after you have a child."

Just like 'her', after having 'Qiana', the whole person seems to have a holy radiance, just like the Virgin who descended from heaven to the world.

"That possibility," (Rita would rather not)

Rita raised an index finger to her mouth, but didn't say anything after that.It's like putting a comma at the end of a sentence, but not finishing it on purpose.

Then she turned around and walked in the direction she came from, holding the sickle with rose flowers upside down, making it impossible to see what she was going for.

"Where are you going?"

"Go, have some fun. Let the next story, can, not be as boring as it is."

Saying that, Rita's figure gradually hid in the darkness.

But that voice and those words lingered in my aunt's ears for a long time; it wasn't until Rita had completely 'disappeared' from her senses that my aunt looked at it thoughtfully. The two who win or lose.

"Don't make trouble for me! Zarita!"

......

"Buddy."

After the pistol bullets are empty, they use their feet to make long attacks instead, and the gun in their hands is used as a shield to resist knife slashing.

Although the knife did not have a sharp edge, and the material it was made of was hard at best; but if it was cut in the same place many times, even Kiyana would be unable to stand up in pain: "I have to admit, you are my current sword. The strongest opponent I have ever encountered, perhaps only you are worthy of my serious fight."

But Kaslana's dictionary does not have the word 'admit defeat'.

"It's just that the enemies you encounter are too weak. One day you will find that in your eyes, I am just a grain of sand among thousands of stars."

"But that's the future, isn't it? We're all still growing, and no one can predict what the future holds! Maybe one day we can be the heroes who end Honkai! The whole world will sing praises of our glorious deeds!"

"Kiana. Concentrate! Don't daydream!"

Keng!

The swords and guns collided, but they used all their strength.

This made the hands of both parties feel numb for a while, and even with the physique of the Valkyrie level, they could not be completely exempted.But the more so, the higher their fighting spirit.

Up to now, they have even forgotten that this is an exam, and the battle is to determine the winner... They have completely lost themselves in the fight, as if this is a game that only she and Mei know how to play.

"It's not a dream. In my eyes, you are the strongest."

Shaking the numb hands from the previous impact, Qiyana looked at Mei, who was also relieving her arm discomfort, leaning on her waist with the back of her hands and said: "Of course, I can defeat the strongest Mei. Then There is no doubt that Miss Ben is the strongest of the strongest."

"Qiana, you really..."

"I'm sorry, but I still have to interrupt."

The sudden appearance of the voice attracted the attention of the two parties who were temporarily in a truce, and I saw that the place where the examiner was originally had been replaced by a beautiful woman with cream-colored hair in a maid outfit, who was using a kind of feeling that made people feel all over her body. Looking at them with hairy eyes:

"Are you guys playing house?"

1037 "The examiner enters the examination room?"

"what?"

Kiyana was taken aback by the question, and then she realized that she and Mei seemed to be a little too excited.

"Who are you? Where is the invigilator?"

Compared to Kiana, Mei is obviously more vigilant.

What makes her strange is that the other party's clothes... maid?It doesn't look like a Valkyrie in any way.But if it wasn't for the Valkyrie, how did she come to St. Freya?

Without some ability or someone's permission, ordinary people can't get in at all.

"You mean that person?"

Rita put her chin on her hand and thought for a while, pointing to the clock tower pointer that was clearly visible even here: "She has gone to lunch, so now I am in charge of the exam."

"Uh, dinner?"

Kiyana looked in the direction she pointed, and it happened that the hands of the clock tower pointed to twelve o'clock.Accompanied by the ringing of the bell, there was a 'gurgling' sound from her stomach.

"..."

"..."

"Ahaha, what..."

In order to 'cover up' the embarrassment, a certain paramecium had to scratch the back of its head, and tried to pass the test with a negotiating tone: "Can you finish the meal first and then continue the exam?"

"can."

Unexpectedly, a certain maid nodded accommodatingly, but the moment Kiyana breathed a sigh of relief, she entered hell with the next sentence: "In that case, 'Rita' will have to regard you as giving up this You will be judged to have failed the exam."

"Uh......"

"Ms. Rita."

Seeing that Qiyana was being teased by strangers, due to various considerations, Mei couldn't just sit idly by: "If there must be a winner, then I choose to give up this exam."

She knew it was impossible for Kiyana to give up, and if she continued to fight...

"Mei!!"

Kiyana looked at Mei nervously.

"What a beautiful friendship."

——I just don’t know if it can support you to the end?

Rita just smiled calmly there, making it impossible to see what kind of emotions and secrets are hidden behind this elegant smile: "But ah! The current exam rules are—unless both parties lose their fighting ability at the same time, otherwise The exam will not stop! Not allowed, admit defeat!"

"Eh?"

"what?"

Mei first glanced at her aunt, and saw that she was just holding her chin with her hands and looking at her with a serious face (Commander Ikari.jpg), and she didn’t express anything about Rita’s appearance—meaning that her aunt acquiesced in her existence, so she could only look at Rita with courage: "Both sides lost the ability to fight at the same time... What does it mean?"

"Do you even need to ask? Of course—"

Rita walked slowly from one side, and walked to the opposite side with a flowering sickle upside down, forming a triangle with them: "Both of you lie down."

"???" x2

"But then you lose."

Rita turned the scythe, turned the scythe to her side, and held the inside of the scythe with her other hand: "So, the way to win is to hold on to me for 5 minutes!!"

beep! x2

At that moment, there seemed to be the sound of a whistle resounding in the ears, which stopped the thinking of Kiana and Mei, as if they were facing something terrible.

But that thing didn't show hostility to them, so the two didn't feel the danger, and they didn't instinctively make some extreme actions.

"Just now, what was that?"

The feeling of facing a natural enemy made Qiyana feel uncomfortable all over her body.It's just that when she finished speaking, she found that Mei didn't answer, so she quickly looked in her direction: "Mei?"

however--

"It's not good to whisper during a battle."

A hand was abruptly inserted between them from behind, and the stick part that made up the main body of the sickle was also horizontal in front of the face, just blocking Kiyana's line of sight directly in front of her.

And as she pulled her hand back, the stick was dragged and hit Kiana's face.

Instinctively, Qiyana fell back, but the back of her head was resting on something soft, making it impossible for her to avoid the coming stick.

Keng!

It was Mei's timely knife that blocked the path of the stick, and the sickle was not dragged back to its original position in time, giving Mei time to pull Qiyana over.

He looked warily at Rita who was holding the scythe horizontally.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed to complete the construction, Rita turned the sickle and held it upside down by her side, and walked slowly towards the two: "You guys, do you smell the fragrance of roses?"

1038 "Black Flower"

"Scent of flowers?"

Kiyana was taken aback for a moment, and then subconsciously sniffed, and found that there was indeed a not-so-strong fragrance in the air: "Hey, I seem to smell something..."

"Kiana don't smell it!!"

Mei, who noticed something was wrong, immediately wanted to stop Kiana, and tried to hold her breath to prevent the fragrance of flowers from entering the olfactory system, but it was too late.

As soon as Mei finished speaking, the thinking of the two of them became blurred for a while, and even the voice they heard seemed to be whispering in a dream.

"...The flower language of roses will be different due to different colors...the innocence of white roses, the dreaminess of blue roses, the love of red roses, the cuteness of pink roses... "

With the passage of time, the influence of the fragrance of flowers on the two began to fade.When their consciousness became clear again, Rita's voice appeared in their ears again: "Then let's guess, what does the black rose represent?" (Note)

"!!" x2

Kiana and Mei turned around at the same time, facing Rita from the front.Then I saw the sickle coming towards me, and I had to withdraw to dodge immediately.

But I heard Rita suddenly say:

"Don't hide. Suppress your instincts. Use your heart to grasp every detail of the battle."

"?"

Kiana didn't understand why she made herself stand still all of a sudden, it was like trying to 'stop' while playing hide-and-seek--it's only a fool.
