Elysia actually had some reservations about the black card Raven handed her.
Even if Raven said she could use it freely, Miss Fairy wasn't the type to casually swipe someone else's card.
Fortunately, Mr. Jiang Qiao, the external brain of the Fat Woman, offered his advice: swipe away.
He guessed that Kevin must have discovered his appearance piloting the "Elysia" unit, triggering his dead memories and activating the "Spoil Elysia" protocol.
In fact, Jiang Qiao, knowing Kevin's personality, had already anticipated this situation.
He just didn't expect it to be so extravagant, not only letting Raven sleep over but also giving her a World Serpent black card with unlimited spending.
Such treatment, what a pity…
If it were him, he could probably get Raven maternity leave, the paid kind.
Having received Jiang Qiao's judgment, Elysia, although still slightly hesitant, unleashed part of her nature.
Pretty dress? Buy! Gorgeous gems? Buy! Delicious food? Buy! Island villa? Buy!
Super cute maid girl who appeared out of nowhere? Buy!!!
Wait…
She couldn't buy the last one.
After a satisfying shopping spree, Elysia, carrying her spoils of war, was ready to go home with Raven.
They were taking a less-traveled side street when a maid suddenly appeared, blocking their path.
"Wow~ Such a cute maid girl!"
Elysia's XP system activated, her eyes sparkling, practically itching to pounce.
"Don't go near her!"
Stepping in front of Elysia, Raven's slightly languid eyes sharpened as they landed on the auburn-haired figure with a tear mole in the distance. She said coldly:
"Schicksal's active S-rank Valkyrie—Rita Rossweisse."
With World Serpent's intelligence network, it wasn't difficult to know the information of this registered S-rank Valkyrie.
But more than her S-rank status, what was most noteworthy was her role.
The adjutant of Schicksal's elite Valkyrie squad, Immortal Blades… At the same time, she was also the Bishop of Schicksal's right hand.
Because they were, to some extent, in the same profession, Raven had always paid close attention to this Valkyrie specializing in human targets.
"It seems Miss Rita isn't here for a friendly visit?"
Her gaze locked onto the scythe in Rita's hand. For some reason, feeling an inexplicable dislike for her, Raven took the initiative to taunt.
"Hehe~"
Rita didn't bother with much talk. She just chuckled lightly and charged towards the two with her scythe.
—For some reason, although her main target should have been the man named Jiang Qiao, a sudden surge of annoyance made her swing her scythe at Raven first.
"Damn!"
Nimbly dodging the attack, Raven cursed inwardly, pulling out a feather she carried with her as a weapon.
But her mood was quite foul.
Facing a Schicksal S-rank Valkyrie was one thing, but she had been too relaxed and hadn't brought her main weapon. The Seven Thunders of Retribution had also been taken by that bastard Jiang Qiao, so now she could only hastily confront this annoying maid!
This was terrible, could she run?
But this thought was quickly dismissed.
After all, that bastard Gray Serpent had given her strict orders to stick to this pink-haired hooligan. How could she run?
This job was a huge loss…
"Hey, you run first, I'll deal with her! Bring me my weapon when you get back!"
Raven shouted to Elysia during a brief respite.
Hearing this, Elysia puffed out her cheeks and said with dissatisfaction:
"Really, do you think I'm a helpless burden without combat ability? Even I get angry when I'm underestimated!"
Indeed, Elysia admitted that she was indeed a little bit weaker than Jiang Qiao, hmm… just a tiny bit.
But she was only weaker than Jiang Qiao!
—At this moment, Raven suddenly remembered that this guy was actually that pink-haired hooligan in disguise, the one who had completely outmatched her!
Because the short time she spent with Elysia had been so peaceful, she had the illusion that Elysia was weak.
Raven sighed with amusement and helplessness:
"Really, why would she need me to worry about her?"
…
50,000 years ago, Kevin was wide awake at night. Unable to sleep, he opened the popular international communication software of the Previous Era and started a bedtime chat with his best friend from school.
Kevin: Su, you know what? Recently, I can feel MEI looking at me more often (excited emoticon).
Kevin: I feel that as long as I keep at it, I can win MEI's heart soon!
Su: Uh… are you sure it's not your imagination?
Su, far away in Europe, was skeptical, wondering if his best friend was too fixated on this girl named MEI, creating a self-satisfied illusion.
Classic simp behavior—She's looking at me!
He was worried that his best friend would become like this.
Kevin: How could it be? Although the time MEI spends looking at me is far less than the time she spends reading, she rarely paid attention to me before. Now, when I say something, she occasionally responds.
Kevin: It's just that she's too smart, sometimes I don't understand what she's saying at all (troubled emoticon).
Kevin: But it doesn't matter, even if I don't understand what she's saying, the way she looks when she talks is so captivating! (Smiling emoticon)
Su: Uh… I wish you success?
Seeing his best friend's obviously lovesick messages, although Su felt a bit speechless, he could only offer his blessings as a friend.
Kevin: By the way, how have you been lately?
Kevin: I remember you said you wanted to be a doctor, right?
Su: Yeah, I plan to take the exam in a while.
Kevin: Speaking of which, I think I saw that girl we met at the concert today.
Su: Which one?
Kevin: The one I accidentally bumped into, the girl with pink hair, the really cute one.
Kevin: I didn't expect her to be in Nagazora City too, and she seems to know MEI.
Hearing Kevin's description, Su immediately recalled the girl.
Su: That's a coincidence.
Su: …Forget it, I'm going to sleep.
Kevin: Don't, chat with me a little longer. I can't sleep at all thinking about seeing MEI tomorrow.
Su: We have class tomorrow. If I keep chatting with you, I'll definitely suffer tomorrow.
Su: You should go to sleep too. If you get dark circles, she might dislike you.
Kevin: Horrified emoticon.jpg
Kevin: Going to sleep!
