Ark Heroine Development Plan

"If Consultant Guanyue doesn't have this kind of strength, it means that Consultant Guanyue encountered a life-and-death crisis on his first mission."

Texas replied: "This is because... I didn't notice the invisible enemy immediately. Of course, it's my fault."

"That's a wrong assumption," Guan Yueli replied slowly. "Besides assuming I don't have the ability, you should also assume I won't just sit there and watch you work."

"What's more... I don't believe you don't have a solution—even if the person sitting in my position is an ordinary person with no fighting ability."

Texas was stunned.

Guan Yueli looked at her and couldn't help laughing.

"Is there a lighter?"

"……Have."

"Here." She handed him a cigarette. "You will, right?"

Texas silently took the cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it with skillful movements.

"That's not good." Guan Yueli said.

"...?"

Texas was confused.

"Oh, I'm not talking about smoking, I'm talking about something else."

The tall woman ruffled Texas' hair quite naturally, and the latter frowned slightly but did not show too much resistance.

Just consider it as compensation for the mistake just now.

"Little Texas... is the type of person who likes to take responsibility on himself."

Guan Yueli's voice reached Texas' ears.

"We always need someone like this," Texas replied calmly, "I'm just the right person."

"So--"

Guan Yueli suddenly narrowed her eyes and smiled: "What about responsibilities other than the mission?"

"……Um?"

This woman always said some weird things. Texas looked at Guan Yueli with a puzzled look.

I didn't realize the temptation at all.

So this time, it was Guan Yueli's turn to be stunned.

[This girl... couldn't she really not have noticed anything at all? ]

She looked at Texas with a strange expression. "I've read your files. To be honest... I'm surprised that Sora joined you. She's not really suitable given her status."

"This... has something to do with me." Texas said vaguely, "But her ability is trustworthy."

Although she didn't specify the reason, judging from Texas' expression and tone, she didn't think that way at all.

Good guy.

Guan Yueli exclaimed, "What a great guy!"

Little girl, you don't really think that people are here just to repay a favor, do you?

Of course she knew why Kong joined Penguin Logistics. Even she, an outsider, could tell just by looking at the files. How could this little she-wolf not feel anything at all?

——Of course, this has something to do with the fact that Guan Yueli’s rank is too high and he is too lustful. In fact, most people would not think about it in that way just by looking at the file.

However, since they have been partners for some time, they should have noticed something.

Is this side too slow, or that side too shy, or both?

"...Advisor Guanyue, why are you asking this?"

"Hmm? Getting to know you a little better would be good for the whole team, wouldn't it?"

Guan Yueli's smile was very calm, but Texas, with his head tilted up, always felt that he vaguely saw a strange...joy in it.

The bad woman is really happy now.

Well, how should I put it, it's like that kind of aunt's pleasure.

"But I can't favor one over the other..." she said to herself.

Texas, who always felt that Guan Yueli was saying weird things, didn't take these words to heart. Naturally, he had no idea what terrible things his advisor was thinking at this time.

This warehouse is located at a remote corner dock in Shanglong Bay District. There is very little traffic. As the car drove in, there were almost no people. There were only warehouses connected together that looked no different from abandoned ones.

"Speaking of which, Little Texas, do you smell it?"

Texas' expression froze slightly.

"Counselor Guanyue is referring to that... dangerous smell?"

Texas couldn't tell what the pungent smell she smelled was, but her past experience and intuition told her that it must not be something good.

very dangerous.

However, the things they were escorting were not normal things. In this large warehouse... there must be something quite dangerous.

...They are all very dangerous things.

Looking at Guan Yueli's half-smile, Texas turned around with a stern expression: "I will tell them to leave immediately."

"It's too late." Guan Yueli shook off the ash from his cigarette: "We've been surrounded."

Penguin Logistics has encountered such things as crossing the river and then destroying the bridge before, but the final outcome is always the same - in addition to the salary, everyone can also earn some extra money.

Private logistics in the gray area naturally bear this risk - there are some things that the client does not want anyone to find out, including the delivery courier.

If the reputation is loud enough, such incidents will certainly be reduced a lot, but the problem is that Penguin Logistics is not yet so famous.

Therefore, since the client asked them to deliver a truckload of high-risk explosives to a large dock that was likely filled with dangerous goods, it was very likely that they had no intention of letting them leave.

"Mastema, how are you doing? How are the others?"

Exiah couldn't control herself and liked to run around, Sora and Croissant were sitting in the car chatting, and Mostima was used to being alone, which meant... everyone was probably scattered.

"Fortunately, the three who tried to launch a sneak attack have been dealt with. Aneng and Kosongkong are all here with me, so they're safe."

The voice coming from the tiny earphone paused: "Is there something wrong over there too?"

"I'm with Consultant Guanyue, and nothing's wrong at the moment... just yet."

"You're with Miss Guanyue?" Mostima was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "I thought Miss Guanyue had gone somewhere else. So she's with you? That's good. I don't have to worry about your situation over there."

"..."

Texas' expression was a little subtle.

"From my end (explosion sound)... Phew, don't worry, let's meet up at the dock entrance... Okay, Aneng, Texas is with Miss Guanyue, don't worry about her, let's go first."

"We are the only ones left."

Guan Yueli said with a smile.

"How much can Consultant Guanyue handle?" Texas showed his light blade and his voice was cold and calm.

"if you can……"

The unscrupulous bad woman smiled:

"I'll leave it all to you."

Texas: “……?”

Chapter 26 - Blade of Mercy

Texas looked at Guan Yueli seriously, trying to confirm whether she was joking.

"I'm not kidding."

Guan Yueli put his hands into his long sleeves and said leisurely:

"Little Texas should be able to handle this amount."

"……I see."

Texas nodded without questioning or expressing dissatisfaction.

She took a step forward, and her figure suddenly disappeared, leaving only the blazing lightsaber flashing.

"She's a good and obedient girl."

Guan Yueli touched his chin with a smile: "That's great~"

It's really despicable for a bad woman to watch a good girl struggling and make sarcastic remarks on her.

The despicable woman walked forward slowly, and she was not attacked by anyone.

It’s not that the enemy suddenly became wise enough not to attack Guan Yueli, but that Texas really took charge of “all” enemies as she promised.

She did not allow any enemy to bypass her and attack Guan Yueli.

"Little Texas..."

"..."

Texas, who was fighting, had no time to pay attention to Guan Yueli.

"It's good to pursue a clean and decisive blow, but sometimes... it's okay to be a little cruel."

Her voice was like a blood-colored wind blowing across the earth, faint and ethereal.

"Especially... when dealing with a mob."

The next moment, Guan Yueli's voice became gentle and soft again: "Do you want me to show you?"

Texas, who had temporarily retreated in front of Guan Yueli, said coldly, "No need."

She swung her lightsaber again and charged into the enemy.

"Alas... sometimes being too serious isn't a good thing."

Guan Yueli shook his head with regret.

She didn't move, just stood there quietly, watching the Lupo girl unleash a rain of blood.

I feel more and more satisfied.

Five minutes later, no one was left standing except Texas and Guan Yueli.

Texas, standing on the pile of corpses, breathed softly, put away his lightsaber, and looked up at Guan Yueli:

"Are you satisfied, Consultant Guanyue?" she asked.

"Full marks!" Guan Yueli clapped happily.

"Even if I didn't take your advice?"

"This isn't some written test." Guan Yueli patted Texas's shoulder. "If I say full marks, it means full marks."

Texas felt a surge of pure energy flowing into his body, and the fatigue he had just felt was swept away in an instant.

She looked up at Guan Yueli in surprise:

"Guan Yue counselor or physician?"

"Of course not."

"Then just now..."

"Life force, life energy, whatever you want to call it."

Guan Yueli said, "In short, just treat it as a completely unreasonable special ability."

“…Isn’t that also a treatment?”

Texas said subconsciously.

"No, no, no, I have much more restrictions than a doctor, and... well, forget it, it's not convenient to tell you that and."
