Chapter 7: What Do You Think of Lady Durandal?
“Was that just the most powerful Valkyrie of Schicksal, Durandal?”
Chen Wenjin was standing near Rita, so he had also seen the video call with Durandal.
As a gamer who had played Honkai Impact 3rd for quite some time, how could he not know about Schicskal strongest combatant?
Because when he submitted his resume, he had already mentioned that he knew some of the true information about Schicksal, so he wasn’t worried that Rita would question his knowledge of Durandal. After all, his goal was to enter the real Schicksal, not the facade presented to the outside world.
“Yes, that’s our leader, Lady Durandal.”
Rita said with a smile.
It seemed like Vice Captain Rita never stopped smiling in front of this guy.
Alvitr thought.
So who is this Chen Wenjin guy, anyway?
Did Rita ask us to prepare some kind of welcome ceremony for him? When did Vice Captain Rita become so formal? I’ve never seen Vice Captain Rita do something so bureaucratic before.
Could it be that this man is the type Vice Captain Rita likes?!
But didn’t Vice Captain Rita like Lady Durandal?
As Alvitr was having these thoughts, she faintly felt that Vice Captain Rita’s gaze was shifting in her direction.
“What do you think of Lady Durandal?”
Rita glanced at Alvitr and gave her a meaningful look, then continued talking to Chen Wenjin.
“She’s quite good-looking.”
Chen Wenjin nodded. Of course, who doesn’t know about Mihoyo’s favorite daughter, the one who is famous for its great character design and numerous character skins? Surely no one plays Honkai Impact 3rd just for the gameplay.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a cold sweat breaking out on his back, and a strong sense of danger surged as if something terrifying was staring at him.
“But…”
Chen Wenjin tried to continue speaking, but he was interrupted by this intense feeling of danger after just two words.
He blinked, looked around, and saw that no one was watching him. There were only Rita and Alvitr here. But how could Alvitr possibly have hostile intentions towards him? Moreover, she was just a tool AI, how could she make him feel so terrified?
As for Rita…
Rita’s smile is really beautiful.
“What’s wrong? But what about Lady Durandal?”
(So it come from Rita)
Chen Wenjin suddenly understood.
Rita liked Durandal. He had just praised Durandal and then changed his words. Rita might have sensed what he wanted to say, which is why she gave him such a terrifying look.
After all, Rita was a Valkyrie who had experienced countless battles, so it was natural for her to have a certain sharpness in her gaze.
Oh no, he shouldn’t have said anything negative about Durandal.
“But…”
(But what? Brain, you need to think quickly!)
Chen Wenjin kept starting his sentence with “But” but couldn’t come up with anything. He couldn’t directly say that Durandal wasn’t his type.
Indeed, Durandal wasn’t his type. Durandal’s personality was too righteous, and most importantly, her bust wasn’t just big enough. Whether it was compared to Kiana or Mei… Well, Durandal was quite tall, to be fair.
But Rita was older than Durandal, although he couldn’t like Rita unless it was the Rita from that certaint event storyline.
Sigh, how could Rita from the event storyline appear in the Honkai world? Unless he could go into the world of the event to meet that kind of Rita.
Rita was too perfect; he didn’t deserve her.
“Hmm? Mr. Chen Wenjin? But what?”
Rita’s smile seemed to be getting brighter and brighter.
“But she’s not my type.”
Chen Wenjin said it reluctantly.
“Tsk, do you even know your own status? Many people like Lady Durandal, and you think you’re worthy of liking her? Be careful that if Lady Durandal finds out, she’ll kick you out of the Immortal Blades directly!”
Alvitr immediately sneered when she heard this.
“Only our Lady Rita is worthy of Lady Durandal. Got it?”
(Uh, well…)
Chen Wenjin fell silent.
Should I say something at this point?
Rita tilted her head slightly and gave Alvitr another meaningful look.
{If you say a few more words, I’ll send you to Siberia to plant potatoes.}
“!”
Alvitr shivered and quickly covered her mouth with her hand, indicating that she wouldn’t say another word.
“Mr. Chen Wenjin.”
Rita bowed slightly and then extended her hand towards the outside of the warehouse.
“Please follow me; I’ll take you to your dormitory.”
“?”
Chen Wenjin nodded on the surface but was a bit puzzled in his heart.
Wait, wasn’t it you who brought up the topic of how Lady Durandal is? How come you’re the one interrupting this topic now?
Although he had doubts in his mind, Chen Wenjin didn’t dare to express them. He followed Rita’s footsteps and walked out of the warehouse.
Seeing Rita taking Chen Wenjin out, Alvitr, who had been standing still like a statue, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Once she confirmed that they wouldn’t come back for a while, Alvitr went back to her seat and sat down.
Even though this seat no longer belonged to her, as long as Chen Wenjin wasn’t here right now, it was still hers.
Beep
With a light sound, a short message was sent directly to her virtual screen.
Alvitr opened the message and her face turned pale.
“Miss Alvitr, if you don’t have any missions this week, please work until 9 PM in the evening. It seems there are many documents that need your organization.”
“Mr. Chen Wenjin, this is your dormitory.”
After separating from her subordinates, Rita reverted to calling Chen Wenjin by his original title.
This made Chen Wenjin feel quite apprehensive.
Please, big sister, if Otto has given you a task, just say it. Your way of talking is scaring me. I know my own worth, and I’m not worthy of being called “Mr.” by you.
Chen Wenjin stood at the door of the dormitory, and Rita had already entered. He decided to keep a little distance from Rita. Maybe Rita would suddenly appear behind him, and then he would black out.
When he woke up, he might see the ceiling of a lab, surrounded by several researchers in white coats, studying something related to the suitability of men with Honkai powers.
Chen Wenjin blinked and saw that Rita, who had been standing not far in front of him, had disappeared.
“?”
Then his vision suddenly went black.
(Oh crap, I’m going to be eliminated)
