Silently, a dagger slid towards the back of Mei's neck.
A very fast black figure suddenly appeared behind Mei.
"Be careful..." Seeing the danger, he instinctively shouted to the lady in front of him who was controlling him.
But Mei's reaction was faster than ever; just when the fatal dagger was about to hit her body.
Mei seemed to have eyes on her back; she turned around nimbly and dodged quickly.
Just like that, a military dagger with a blade flashing coldly, a bloodletting groove on the body, and serrations on the back, just stopped on the stool between Sora's legs...
Little Sora, who was originally "blood boiling," was so scared that he suddenly calmed down.
The frightened Sora took a closer look and saw that the dagger was firmly held by a slender hand.
He looked up slightly and was very surprised, saying subconsciously: "It's you"
She had short hair and a perfect figure wrapped in a maid outfit that was both professional and sexy...
And maybe because she wanted to make a surprise attack, she took off her high heels that she often wore, and just stood on tiptoe in the black one-piece stockings that covered her feet and thighs...
That's right. The one who delivered such a ruthless and silent attack like a professional assassin was actually Miss Rita, the perfect maid who was able to cook delicious dishes and looked powerless, with whom he had been living day and night for some time.
"Mr. Sora..." The perfect maid Rita smiled slightly, put away the sharp dagger between Sora's legs, and said, "Do you need help?"
At this distance, he could even smell the perfume on the maid, but he didn't have time to care about that at the moment. He swallowed silently and asked, "What's going on?"
"I also want to ask you, Mr. Sora, you and this thieving cat lady are really passionate here in the middle of the night..." Rita even adjusted her bangs while speaking.
"I think Miss Kiana, who is sleeping upstairs, definitely doesn't want to know about this, right?"
"I was forced..." Although he said this, he always felt guilty for some unknown reason.
"And what on earth did you say, Mr. Sora, that made this young lady exude such a murderous aura?" Rita turned slightly sideways, facing Sora with her white and smooth back exposed by the maid outfit.
Although her tone was full of sarcasm, Sora, who was less than ten centimeters away from Rita at the moment, saw that the maid's muscles were tense, and she looked like a female leopard ready to pounce.
"Rita?" Mei, who had just jumped onto the bar counter out of fighting instinct, frowned as she looked at the perfect maid protecting the captain behind her and said the name, "Why are you here instead of staying in the Immortal Blade?"
"Oh? Ms. Thief Cat actually recognizes me?" This time Rita was really curious.
Even within this world's Schicksal, only a few people knew Miss Rita's true identity.
Compared to Captain Durandal, who is like the signature of the Immortal Blade, Rita is more like a dagger in the dark that pierces the heart of the enemy from the shadows...
Although Rita worked as a personal maid for Bishop Otto of the Schicksal for a period of time, the impression she gave to the outside world was always that of an ordinary maid.
It is hard to imagine that this ordinary maid would be the vice-captain of the Schicksal Ace Immortal Blade.
Rita licked her tempting lips: "It seems that it's not just a matter of cheating. I have a lot of questions for you, too."
She lifted up her skirt, and in her always wide eyes, she saw a hint of spring scenery, and then she took out a pistol from her inner thigh.
Rita confronted Mei with a pistol in one hand and a dagger in the other, although she didn't know who this murderous cat lady in front of her was.
But she was definitely a tough character to deal with. Not only was her confident sneak attack just now dodged perfectly without any damage...
The murderous aura emanating from her body at this moment also made Rita break out in a cold sweat on her forehead.
Squinting her eyes, she tried to find the flaws in Mei: 'With this murderous aura, what kind of cruel battlefield has Miss Thief Cat experienced?'
Glancing at the nervous Sora behind her, Rita wondered in her heart, 'Mr. Sora, when did you provoke such a terrifying woman?'
Ever since Bishop Otto gave Rita the task of monitoring Kiana and Sora, Rita had read all the information about the two from birth to the present.
But in any of the interpersonal communication data, there was no information about the lady in front of her... It's like she just appeared out of thin air...
"Rita, are you and the captain married?" Mei frowned, looking at Rita who was protecting the captain behind her like an eagle catching its chicks.
"No, it doesn't seem like that..." After listening to the conversation between the two people just now, Mei immediately rejected this idea, "The way you address each other is too distant, and it doesn't seem like the intimacy that should exist between husband and wife."
"Tsk..." Rita didn't know why she felt a little unhappy when she heard such words, and the title of "Captain?" was really familiar...
Mei took a deep breath and said, "Rita, please move aside. This matter has nothing to do with you. I have something to say to the captain."
"Are we familiar with each other?" Rita said speechlessly, looking at the woman named Mei in front of her, "You actually spoke to me in such a commanding tone."
"Besides, I won't let a dangerous person like you, who is full of murderous intent, get close to Mr. Sora like this." Rita pointed the black muzzle of the gun at Mei, "If you lose your temper, just turn around and leave."
"Leave? I finally found the captain; why should I leave?!"
Mei was obviously a little angry, and at the same time, she realized that Rita in this world didn't recognize her...
"And I just found the captain, and he told me that he's already married... How can I accept that?"
Mei felt like she needed to vent a little, so she picked up the kitchen knife on the bar table.
She assumed a common samurai sword starting stance and even an amateur like her could feel the murderous aura. Her skin felt as if being scratched by a blade close to her skin.
"Rita, let's have a good fight. It'll be a way for me to vent my emotions," Mei said to Rita with a smile, but there was something dangerous in that smile.
"Oh..." Rita's forehead was covered with a few strands of cold sweat. "But looking at this posture, it doesn't seem like we're just going to have a sparring match..."
Rita took a deep breath. No one had ever put such great pressure on her. She even felt like she was not facing a human being...
But a being that is far superior to humans but in human skin?
