In ancient China, such women were called "femme fatales," and their mere existence was considered a source of conflict and even chaos.
Let Tianguang and Yinyi look forward to drawing Rita-related character cards.
However, speaking of which, compared to Rita, Sora prefers the long-haired version of Miss Rosemary!
The mysterious, elegant, and dangerous witch sister, combined with Rita's beauty, is simply an XP overload!
Rita's gaze swept over the blonde girl behind her, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly for a moment.
The girl was undoubtedly a companion of the Ural Silver Wolves, but why did she have a sense of familiarity that made her DNA feel restless?
Shift your gaze back to the silver-haired girl. When talking to someone, keep your eyes on the area between their eyes and mouth. This is a little trick to create a relaxed atmosphere.
"Ah, you don't need to be so vigilant."
Clearly, Silverwing's silence and smiling reaction led Rita to mistakenly believe that she was on guard.
“Miss Rita, the S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny, I heard from a friend that you seem to have a lolicon complex.”
The silver-haired girl smiled slightly, touching the corner of her lips, and uttered words that left Rita stunned:
"Narita-neechan~ Do you control me?"
Like a monster imitating Theresa's magical girl transformation, her deliberately cute, milky-scented voice is incredibly powerful, sweet and adorable.
"...?"
What's the deal with this Ural silver wolf?
As expected, just as the latest information in the mission details indicated, the girl's personality was completely different from what was recorded in previous documents.
After a very brief moment of distraction, Rita responded with a smile:
"Lolita complex... that term is not suitable for a lady. Rita is just a feminist, especially targeting lovely girls like Miss Bronya."
Rita's ever-perfect, flawless smile:
"If it's alright, Rita would like to invite Miss Bronya to my home. We have some fine black tea and desserts prepared."
Rita answered the question from the silver-haired girl with a question in return, saying that this Ural silver wolf is indeed very cute!
"Oh~ Is it the kind of black tea that makes you sleepy after drinking it?"
The silver-haired girl seemed to take an interest.
With her hands clasped over her lower abdomen in an elegant maid-like pose, Rita chuckled softly, "Miss Bronya is quite humorous."
"The name of the Ural Silver Wolf is renowned in the assassin world. How dare Rita presume to presume upon someone who once set the record for the fastest ascent to the top of Charon's list?"
With a composed and elegant expression, Rita gave a slight bow: "In this respect, Rita is actually your junior."
"Dark Rose?"
The silver-haired girl pondered for a moment, seemingly reminiscing.
"I am truly flattered that Miss Bronya would know of Rita's name."
The gentle and slightly surprised tone was so convincing that even seasoned actors couldn't tell if it was genuine.
"Now, let's return to our previous topic. What is Miss Bronya's answer?"
After receiving the bishop's order, Rita set off immediately, even arriving in New Zealand ahead of the others.
The mission has two parts: to observe the original body K423 and to probe 'Bronya'.
The so-called probing encompasses various aspects, and verbal communication can obviously yield more information. Rita, on the other hand, genuinely doesn't mind going for tea and desserts with Bronya.
"What if I refuse?"
The silver-haired girl's lips curled up slightly.
"I would be very sorry."
Rita wore a sorrowful expression and pulled out a chilling, icy white scythe from behind her back—Skadi of Frost.
"Then [Dark Rose] will have to learn from [Ural Silver Wolf]'s skills."
Are you sure you want to take action against 'us'?
The silver-haired girl's meaningful smile was reflected in Rita's eyes.
Rita raised her eyebrows slightly. As intelligent as she was, she could naturally understand the emphasized tone. Then she focused her gaze on the little blonde girl who had remained silent from beginning to end, half-hidden behind the silver-haired girl.
"Won't you introduce your companion?"
The sense of familiarity grew stronger.
Who is this girl?
"An introduction? No, no, I think there's no need for an introduction; I'm sure I'll get to know her on my own."
Silverwing held Tianguang's hand.
"Oh? You know him?"
Rita frowned.
The blonde girl stepped forward and pushed her goggles up to her forehead.
Just then, the full moon shifted, and its bright, clear light shone down, completely illuminating the two people who had been in the shadows.
"Right, Bianca?"
The moment the blonde girl looked up, Silverwing spoke her name.
Rita's wine-red eyes narrowed to needles in an instant, and her beautiful face, which had maintained a perfect, calm, and elegant maid's smile throughout, collapsed in a flash.
That was a face that Rita would never forget, etched into her DNA!
And then there's this name.
This girl, she, she is!
The sheer shock nearly caused Skadi of Frost to fall to the ground.
"Hello, Sister Rita~"
Tian Guang greeted the guest with a cute, childlike voice, then, seemingly belatedly realizing his mistake, he put a finger to his lips, frowned in annoyance, and switched back to his normal voice.
"Hmm, Rita said this is part of the disguise training, but that doesn't make sense, does it?"
Ding-dong!
The sickle fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
The voice that called out "Sister Rita" was soft and gentle, with a healing cuteness and purity that made Rita's heart flutter, as if her soul was about to leave her body and follow that voice.
Rita felt a warm sensation flowing from her nose, and feeling dizzy, she quickly raised her hand to cover it.
A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness, and the air was filled with moonlight as intoxicating as wine.
Rita could hardly believe her eyes. She gently covered her nose, which was bleeding profusely, as depicted in the comic book, and spoke in disbelief.
"Lady Durandal! What are you doing here?"
Is it eerie? Or dreamlike?
As a maid who is both a lolicon and a Durandal enthusiast, Rita has absolutely no resistance to Durandal in her loli form.
"and……"
The maid, whose motto was perfection, elegance, and poise, was so excited that she lost her composure.
Rita tried to suppress the tremor in her voice, but her heart pounded with increasingly rapid breathing. She swallowed slightly.
"It's turned into this again?"
Rita will never forget that day.
One day when she was 16, Rita, as the most outstanding of Ragnar's many recommended students, received a special mission from the bishop—to protect someone's growth.
Then, Rita meets a 12-year-old blonde girl and becomes her adjutant, following her, taking care of her, helping her, and going on a mission to the Sea of Quanta together.
Rita still vividly remembers Durandal's reactions when she used to tease her.
"Please stop calling me 'adult' all the time... Don't you have any self-awareness about how cheesy it is?"
"I'm just an ordinary Valkyrie who only met you before the mission started, and you're just a temporary adjutant that someone forcibly assigned to me—please don't use the same tactics you use when serving the bishop on me!"
Bianca's expression at that time was a mixture of pride, helplessness, distress, irritability, and slight disdain. Not being able to have a photo taken to preserve the memory was a lifelong regret for Rita!
When Bianca was a child, her personality was far less serious than that of the current Durandal; she was much more... well, how should I put it?
There's only one word to describe it.
irritable (scratch that) cute cute cute cute!
Just thinking about it makes Rita's heart melt!
And what appeared before her eyes?
Look, a young Bianca!
Rita doesn't remember the hairstyle, headdress, or outfit, but she would never mistake Lady Bianca for anyone else!
“I am indeed Bianca Durandal Atagina, but not Durandal at this point in time. I believe that with your intelligence, you can easily make a similar judgment.”
The blonde girl's face was tense, her expression serious.
Using her ten years of experience as a captain to understand Durandal, Qiong constructed a fake personality that mimicked the straightforward and honest nature of the goofy goose, and told the beautiful maid in front of her the shocking 'truth' without any concealment.
"...time point."
The perfect maid forced herself to calm down, narrowed her long, almond-shaped eyes, and tentatively asked, "You mean... you are Lady Bianca from the 'past'?"
Rita had been working for the archbishop Otto since she was a teenager. If anyone in the world knew Otto, Rita was definitely one of the people who knew the archbishop best.
Rita knew the other person's wishes and goals, so she understood that time travel was theoretically impossible.
"No, I come from the future."
Tian Guang's face was serious, but he was secretly delighted.
Auto-battle, activated!

Future timeframe.
In the midsummer afternoon, sunlight slanted down, creating dappled patterns of light through the lace curtains.
The right light and shadow were created in the quiet and cozy little house, which was furnished with Persian carpets and rattan chairs and inhabited by only two people.
The potted plants on the windowsill, violets and white lilies, swayed in the breeze, and their silhouettes on the wooden floor moved with them.
"Lady Durandal, you said... your consciousness just traveled to the past?"
The gray-haired blonde beauty who was watering the white lilies put down the watering can, turned around, and wore her usual gentle and elegant smile.
"Based on the intelligence I've gathered, it's highly likely to be a parallel world..."
Bianca shared her fantastical experience with her best friend, but she didn't see any surprise on her friend's face.
"Huh? Don't you find that strange or surprising?"
A glance at the calendar did not diminish the smile on the grey-blonde beauty's face in the slightest, despite Bianca's urgent tone.
"If I remember correctly, Bronya taught you this line during our last game of Truth or Dare. Well, Bianca's acting has improved a lot!"
"...?"
Bianca blinked, realizing what was going on, and was both amused and exasperated.
"Rita, I'm not kidding... huh!?"
Before he could finish speaking, the world's light and shadow suddenly shifted, from a midsummer afternoon to the first glimmer of night.
Bianca stared blankly at her best friend, who was wearing a rose maid outfit that reminded her of her by the roses, under the moonlight. Her friend's face, which was originally so charming that it exuded a bewitching fragrance, looked noticeably younger. In her hand, she held the Frostless Skadi, which should have been in the exhibition hall.
"From...the future?"
