Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

With the strength of Lord Frost Armor Knight, Shiiki Ruri was really worried that Grandma Phantom Flame would not survive tomorrow.

"Yeah, my back was soaked with sweat, meow. Luckily she didn't see it, meow hahaha~"

Shiiki Ruri turned around and showed her back to the Frost Armor Knight, but she didn't know that her sweat had already flowed along her slender waistline to her buttocks, and then along the contour of her buttocks to her legs.

The sweat-soaked pajamas were tightly attached to Shiiki Ruri's round buttocks, and the sweat outlined the lines of the gap, making the "scenery" behind her beautiful.

"Well, it's really wet. Go change your clothes first, or you'll catch a cold."

For some reason, Frost Knight Stan turned his head and looked out the window.

Shiiki Ruri thought he was still on guard against the outside of the house, and immediately felt respect for him, thinking that the Frost Armor Knight was truly reliable.

So, in response to the kindness of Lord Frost Armor Knight, Shiiki Ruri quickly changed her clothes. Next, the two of them had serious business to discuss.

·

·

The signing of the cooperation agreement means that Lord Frost Armor Knight has officially joined the partnership.

In order to formulate a detailed action plan, Shiiki Ruri needs to first synchronize the information she has obtained with the Frost Armor Knight.

With the help of the light of the magic stone lamp, Shiiki Ruri briefly listed the recent events.

Shiiki Ruri said that Teruya Ryuja has been facing many disasters recently. First, the spiral underground library was broken into, and then the intelligence center disguised as a post office was attacked overnight. It is said that there have been incidents in other bases as well, but Shiiki Ruri's authority level is not high enough, so he does not know the situation yet.

The last incident happened at the lake base two days ago. Specifically, it can be divided into two levels.

The first level is that Shiiki Ruri assassinated the chief hall master, Tetodaf. According to Shiiki Ruri's memory, her entire assassination process was not seen by others. Although the process was a bit tortuous, the result alone was perfect.

The second level is somewhat unbelievable. An unknown group sneaked into the base under the lake and knocked down everyone except Shiiki Ruri without being witnessed by anyone.

"There's no doubt our organization is being targeted by some force, meow. This force is incredibly powerful and unfathomable. And to make matters worse, with Tetodaf dead, Teruya Liuque is now leaderless. If we don't quickly uncover the enemy's true identity, in the worst-case scenario, Teruya Liuque might be wiped out, meow."

Shiiki Ruri said these words with a serious expression. She hoped that the Frost Armor Knight would also realize how serious the situation was.

But what made her speechless was that Lord Frost Armor Knight had almost no reaction to what Shiiki Ruri said. He just said "Oh" and then started a new topic, asking Shiiki Ruri why she wanted to assassinate Tetodaf.

"Um, Master Stan, don't you think Teruya Ryuque is in danger right now?"

"It's not bad. If they had intended to eliminate you, no one in the base under the lake would have survived until now. As for how you slipped through the net, I guess it's because you happened to be in a remote warehouse at the time, so you escaped."

As always, the Lord Frostmail Knight was still terrifyingly calm.

His analysis left Shiiki Ruri with no way to refute it.

——(Yeah, to be able to take down everyone without killing them, the other party must have some special purpose, meow.)

At the scene at that time, Shiiki Ruri had a guess that the "enemy" was unable to deal with Tetodav personally for some reason, so they set up a trap to use herself, letting herself "accidentally" discover Tetodav's crimes, and then assassinate Tetodav.

The strange things that the "enemy" did when they sneaked into the base under the lake that night were actually to cover up for him so that he could successfully kill Tetodav.

Shiiki Ruri told Lord Frost Armor Knight about her wild speculation. As a result, Lord Frost Armor Knight actually agreed with her analysis and praised Shiiki Ruri for her flexible thinking and ability to discover the truth hidden beneath the surface.

"If I had experienced something like this, I would have had the same thought. Okay, now can you tell me why you assassinated Tetodaf, Boss Liuli?"

"Didn't you agree to call me Xiao Liuli?"

"I think it's easier to call you Boss Liuli."

"...Okay, nya."

Shiiki Ruri drooped her ears helplessly, and then told the story of how Tetodaf "planned to kill Aunt Magee" and "jointly produced the secret medicine for reincarnation with the Dark Rabbit clan."

This time, the Frost Armor Knight listened particularly attentively, and Shiiki Ruri could feel his focused gaze even through his helmet.

Then, after Shiiki Ruri finished his narration, the Frost Armor Knight remained silent for a long time before expressing his thoughts.

"Boss Liuli, I think there is a possibility..." Frost Knight Stan pondered and drew out the last syllable. After hesitating for a few seconds, he gave his opinion.

"Tell me, could it be that the 'force' that used you to assassinate Tetoduff... is this 'Dark Rabbit Clan'?"

10.16 - Wild Inferences

"Eh? The Dark Rabbit Clan?"

Shiiki Ruri widened her eyes, because the Frost Armor Knight's guess was completely beyond her expectations.

"Aren't the Dark Rabbits cooperating with Tetoduff? How could they possibly harm Tetoduff, meow?"

Based on the information Shiiki Ruri had, the Dark Rabbit clan should be the least likely force to be hostile to Tetoduff. She didn't understand why the Frost Armor Knight made such a speculation.

"What you said makes sense, Boss Liuli, so what I said just now was just a guess."

Frost Knight Stan did not argue with Shiiki Ruri directly, but instead agreed with her point of view first.

Then, Frost Knight Stan began to explain why he had such an incredible guess.

·

"Boss Liuli, I have a few questions for you."

Frost Armor Knight Stan began his explanation by asking questions.

Frost Knight Stan asked, "Is the 'Dark Rabbit Clan's hiding place' really rare information?"

Shiiki Ruri replied, yes, even within the Teruya Ryujaku organization, "information related to the An Rabbit clan" is top-level confidential intelligence.

"I wanted to check it out before, but was told I didn't have the required clearance. Oh, meow, that was the day the enemy broke into the Spiral Underground Library, meow!"

Shiiki Ruri still remembers what happened that day vividly. It can be said that that day was the starting point of all these drastic changes.

"Then who in your organization has the authority to access the intelligence of the Dark Rabbit Clan?" Frost Knight Stan asked again.

"Which people? Hmm...it seems...it seems that only the chief hall master, Tetodaf, has this authority."

When she gave this answer herself, Shiiki Ruri felt as if she had been given a slight electric shock, and suddenly seemed to understand why the Frost Armor Knight suspected the Dark Rabbit Clan.

If it is said that in the entire Zhaoye Liuque organization, or even in the entire Prison Star World, the chief master Tetodaf is the only outsider who knows the secluded place of the Dark Rabbit Clan, then the Dark Rabbit Clan does have reason to get rid of him... if this mysterious Dark Rabbit Clan is cruel enough.

"Master Stan! I... I think I understand, meow..."

Shiiki Ruri's tail stood up in excitement, but the excitement didn't last long because she immediately realized a new problem.

"Wait, wait a minute, Master Stan... That's not right, meow. If the Dark Rabbit Clan wants to eliminate outside insiders, then killing Tetodaf alone won't be enough. Because not only the next Chief Master, meow, even the 'Interim Chief Master' has the authority to access the Dark Rabbit Clan's information. Could it be that they want to..."

Shiiki Ruri stopped talking halfway. She realized belatedly that it was impossible for the Dark Rabbit Clan to have not thought of such a simple question.

——(Killing Tetodav was to eliminate the existing insider...)

——(And their next move is to destroy the information on the "Dark Rabbit Clan" kept by the organization...?!)

Thinking of this, Shiiki Ruri had an epiphany.

The spiral underground library, the post office intelligence center, and the assassination of Tetodav, these seemingly unrelated actions actually all have a common purpose!

"I-I understand, Master Stan...I really understand this time, meow!"

Shiiki Ruri trembled slightly with excitement. As an intelligence organization worker, this feeling of seeing through appearances and discovering the truth would make her extremely excited every time!

Taking advantage of the fact that his thoughts were flowing smoothly, Shiiki Ruri began to analyze the situation incessantly.

She told Sir Frost Armor Knight that the people who infiltrated the Spiral Underground Library were most likely members of the Dark Rabbit Clan, and their purpose in infiltrating was to secretly destroy all information about the Dark Rabbit Clan.

It was the Dark Rabbit Clan who attacked the Post Office Intelligence Center at night. They wanted to ensure that there was no information about the Dark Rabbit Clan in the intelligence currently circulating through Zhaoye Liuque.

Then, it was the Dark Rabbit Clan who used Shiiki Ruri's hand to assassinate Tetodav. They wanted to make those who already knew the Dark Rabbit Clan's information shut up forever.

"This is so... so... so incredible, meow. All the events, all the information, all fit together so logically, meow...!"

Shiiki Ruri was so excited that she wanted to hold the hand of Lord Frost Armor Knight. At this time, she even forgot that it was Lord Frost Armor Knight who suggested that the Dark Rabbit Clan was the murderer.

"Yes, I think so too, Boss Liuli."

The calm voice of Frost Knight Stan formed a sharp contrast with that of Shiiki Ruri. At this time, he poured a bucket of cold water on Shiiki Ruri and told Shiiki Ruri that although this speculation was completely logically consistent, there was still a fatal flaw that could not be ignored.

"Unfortunately, neither the information provided by Mr. Liuli nor the information I saw or heard myself can serve as evidence."

As Frost Knight Stan said this, Shiiki Ruri, who was originally very enthusiastic, suddenly became dispirited.

Yes, without evidence, everything is just conjecture.

Judging from the information that Shiiki Ruri currently knows, let alone the members of the Dark Rabbit clan, they haven't even found a tuft of hair from the Dark Rabbit clan.

"Yeah, meow... Sorry, Master Stan, I was a little too excited just now, meow."

Shiiki Ruri's tail slowly drooped down. She felt that she was so lame just now. She was so self-satisfied without realizing it, not knowing that the Frost Armor Knight had already seen through the problems behind this set of inferences.

What should I say or do now to save face?

Just as Shiiki Ruri was thinking this, Lord Frost Armor Knight gave her a way out at the perfect time.

"Don't be too depressed, Boss Liuli. What you just said is not completely useless."

Sir Frost Armor Knight said that regardless of whether the "inference about the Dark Rabbit Clan" was correct, just knowing this possibility was a valuable benefit.

According to the cooperation agreement, Frost Knight Stan and Shiiki Ruri will be the next candidates to run for the next chief hall master. Since the Dark Rabbit Clan may be killing people to silence them and destroying intelligence, the next chief hall master is also a high-risk person.

"At least, we are now on guard against the Dark Rabbit Clan. If they are the enemy, then we won't be too far behind in intelligence. If they are not, then we haven't lost anything."

As he spoke, Lord Frost Armor Knight stood up and patted Shiiki Ruri on the shoulder. He praised Shiiki Ruri for her quick thinking and for being able to deduce the Dark Rabbit Clan's motives and logic of action in such a short time.

It was a rare occasion for Shiiki Ruri to be praised by the Frost Armor Knight, and she was so happy that she wagged her tail back and forth. If you didn't know her, you would think she was from the dog-human tribe, not the aloof cat-human tribe.

At this point, the discussion between the two came to a temporary end. Although there were still many things that needed to be discussed, they could not stay up at night.

"Then I won't see you off, Master Stan. Please be safe on your journey, meow."

"Oh, speaking of this, I forgot to tell you, Boss Liuli, I'm not going back to the hotel tonight. I want to sleep here with you."

10.17 - Sleepless Night

Shiiki Ruri felt that she must have been overworked, otherwise why would she have hallucinations?

How could it be possible that Lord Frostmail Knight would sleep in his own house?

"Okay, Master Stan, please drive slowly, and we'll see you tomorrow."

Shiiki Ruri actively ignored the "illusion" she heard and said her final goodbye to the Frost Armor Knight.

However, the Frost Knight said to her, "What are you talking about, Boss Liuli? I just said I'm going to sleep at your place tonight. Didn't you hear me?"

Now, Shiiki Ruri was confused. She couldn't understand what the Frost Armor Knight was doing.

"Uh... sleep... sleep here with me, meow? Master Stan, you... you mean you want to spend the night at my house tonight?"

Shiiki Ruri stuttered to confirm again with Lord Frost Armor Knight. It was not that she did not understand what he was saying, but the content of the words was simply too outrageous.

However, what is even more incomprehensible to Shiiki Ruri is actually yet to come.

"Yes, and not just tonight. I will be with you every night from now on. I will check out of the hotel tomorrow morning." The Frost Armor Knight said seriously.

Now, Shiiki Ruri was completely dumbfounded.

What on earth is Lord Frost Knight planning to do?

Although the two are business partners and have signed a new cooperation agreement tonight, they are of opposite sexes after all, and there should not be any physical contact between men and women!

"Master Sisssstan, you're suddenly so radical. I find it hard to accept it, meow... Although I don't hate you, I haven't considered that kind of thing between us, meow..."

Shiiki Ruri's words were shaking like a sieve at this time. In her understanding, the Frost Armor Knight was a strong fighter, a veteran who was good at business, and a knight uncle with a mysterious origin. Perhaps because of the huge difference in their identities, ages and strengths, Shiiki Ruri had never regarded the other party as a person she could date.

Now that Lord Frost Armor Knight had so directly proposed to sleep together, Shiiki Ruri was really unable to react.

Just when Shiiki Ruri was feeling anxious and embarrassed, the Frost Armor Knight asked a question.

"That kind of thing? What kind of thing?"

Then, without waiting for Shiiki Ruri to answer, the Frost Armor Knight placed his hand on her shoulder to help her stop shaking, and continued.

"I don't know what you're thinking, Boss Liuli, but now that you've been targeted by that fox-man grandmother, I think it's safest for us to act together... In addition, the threat from the Dark Rabbit Clan cannot be ignored. Although this possibility is only a speculation at the moment, it is a risk we cannot ignore."

Incredibly, when the Frost Armor Knight placed his hand on her shoulder, Shiiki Ruri was no longer so panicked.

After listening to the explanation of the Frost Armor Knight, Shiiki Ruri felt so ashamed that she almost exploded.

It turns out that when the Frost Armor Knight mentioned sleeping together, he didn't mean what Shiiki Ruri understood. He was serious and focused on the cooperation, and the so-called "sleeping here" was purely to protect Shiiki Ruri's safety.

On the other hand, when Shiiki Ruri heard the word "sleep", she thought that the Frost Armor Knight was going to do something shameful with her. Fortunately, she did not express this understanding, otherwise, she really would not have the face to appear in front of the Frost Armor Knight again.

"So that's how it is, meow! Ha, hahaha, meow! You truly are worthy of being Master Stan, and you're the most thoughtful person ever, meow!"
