The story of the black silk female knight

So now she has to make her best friend Tia happy... Why should she work hard when she can rely on others to carry her?

"Since you know you were wrong, then answer my question honestly, you idiot! Don't change the subject or talk nonsense anymore, understand?"

Seeing that Valensa had obediently 'gurgled' out, Tia was slightly satisfied and continued to press Valensa about her and the Gourmet Association.

Valensa didn't hide it... Anyway, it's not shameful, and it's something to brag about.

With a hint of boasting, she told Tia about the banquet in Sergin Town and then went into detail about the cooperation with the Nora Merchant Guild.

"So these are all things that happened a few days ago...tsk."

Tia pouted, somewhat unwillingly:

"You're such a troublemaker! I've been busy with the War Academy these past few days and haven't been paying much attention to you with my secret techniques, and you've already caused this mess..."

I think you're really terrified of the poverty you experienced as a village girl, aren't you? You can't even resist the small amount of profit from the Nora Chamber of Commerce?

This is something anyone with a little brainpower should be able to figure out, right? How could a noble lady like you suddenly apply for patents for more than ten new dishes... how could you not be questioned?

Even if the Nora Chamber of Commerce manages to resolve this matter by force, the conflict will only be brewing... who knows how it might erupt in the future!

Thankfully, I ran into Mr. Luffy tonight... otherwise, once rumors started spreading in the culinary world, proving your innocence wouldn't be so easy!

"So, Tia, you're still my lucky charm~~"

Valensa stuck out her tongue and grabbed Tia's arm.

"Isn't it because I went to the Food Association with you that the problem was solved ahead of schedule?"

"Then you need to learn your lesson! Luck won't always be on your side! You idiot! From now on, you must think carefully before making any decisions! Especially when dealing with those unscrupulous businessmen!"

Tia then lectured Valensa without any hesitation before changing her tone:

"But I really didn't expect you to have such great cooking skills... The long wheat flour noodles tonight were quite delicious."

You used to make me that pot of frog, abalone, and all sorts of mushrooms before... but I thought you were just messing around. I never expected you to be so good at it now!

"Tonight's dish is called beef noodles, the one I used to give you was called spicy hot pot."

Valensa smiled gently, then naturally revealed a hint of self-deprecation:

"As for my cooking skills becoming better... well, that can't be helped, because I've been very poor for the past three years."

What should a poor young lady do if she has a craving for delicious food? Since I can't afford high-end ingredients, I can only work on the cooking method.

"You think I didn't want to use all those fancy ingredients in Mr. Luffy's kitchen? Actually, I don't know how to use them at all... because I've been eating common ingredients for the past three years~~"

"Hmph, you deserve it!"

Tia pouted:

"If you had apologized to me properly earlier, would I have let you suffer like this?"

"It can't be called suffering... Although the material conditions are not comparable to before, I have gained a lot from these three years."

Valensa shrugged, and seeing that they had arrived at the hotel amidst laughter and joking, she quickly took Tia's arm and leaned against her, pretending to be a couple.

"Let's go back to our room... There are some things we didn't have time to do last night because it was too late, but I won't miss them tonight~~"

Chapter 93 It's a good thing to be shy

"What...what do you want to do? I'm warning you, don't you dare do anything reckless!"

Tia seemed a little flustered and tried to push Valensa away.

Even if she possessed two inherited secret techniques, she was still just a delicate and weak spellcaster. How could she possibly escape from a female knight in close combat?

Valensa appeared to be sweetly nestled against Tia, but in reality, her hands were like iron clamps, firmly gripping Tia and dragging her into the room.

The two, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, looked very well-matched. In the morning, they even pretended to be a couple and attracted a lot of attention in the restaurant.

So everyone else in the hotel smiled at their playful, affectionate banter and sincerely wished them a wonderful night.

In the end, Tia was dragged into the room by Valensa.

"Hey hey hey~~"

The female knight grinned wickedly and, without giving Tia a chance to resist, began to undress her:

"Although you look very handsome in men's clothing, I still prefer you the way you are... Let me take a good look at you!"

"What's so interesting about it!"

After struggling for a few times without success, Tia simply gave up and even cooperatively raised her arm, allowing Valensa to help her take off her men's brocade robe:

"We used to play together all the time when we were kids. Haven't you seen enough?"

"How could I ever get enough of you? Tia, you're so beautiful, of course I could never get enough of you!"

Valensa said some mushy things while tossing Tia's men's brocade robe aside.

Then she licked her lips and reached for the knot of the cloth wrapped around Tia's back:

"Now comes the important part... I noticed this morning that you've developed really well, Tia, but I haven't had a chance to take a good look yet. Now I finally have the time."

"Huh? This won't do!"

Tia blushed immediately and covered her chest with her hands:

"Don't look! Turn around right now... quick, quick, quick!"

"Why?"

Valensa showed no intention of turning around; in fact, she extended her hand directly.

"We're all girls, and best friends, we used to watch videos all the time... so it's not a bad thing for us to get our bodies tested, right? If you feel like you're losing out, you can get mine tested too~~"

"Get lost! What kind of physical examination is that? That's called indecent assault!"

Tia slapped Valensa's hand away and even grabbed a sofa cushion to hit her.

"And who says girls can't have relationships? It's one thing when we're little, but now we should be more mindful of privacy and shame!"

Don't think I don't know, Valensa, you like girls, don't you? When you were little, you used to sneak off to the Pink Roses with Elena, and you got a good spanking, didn't you?"

"Eek~~~~ Tia, you still remember something from so long ago... And it wasn't a big deal, was it? It was just kids being silly and playing around."

Valensa refused to give up and wanted to try again.

"Ignorant? Ha~~"

Unfortunately, Tia just gave a cold laugh:

"I think you're just too sensible, that's why you wanted to go there to play, right? You were like that when you were little... Do you still expect me to believe in your morals now? Go take a shower, I'll change my clothes myself!"

"Shall we shower together?"

Valensa extended another invitation with a smile:

"I checked it last night when I took a shower; the bathtub in this hotel is huge, big enough for the two of us to have a fight in it without any problem~~"

"impossible!"

Tia resolutely refused:

"You may not care about your morals, but I do! If we really take a bath together, will you behave? You'll probably still rub against me and try to touch me like before... Don't forget, Melody and the others' rooms are nearby, and Pearl-level warriors have very sharp hearing!"

"Is that so...Okay then."

Having said all that, Valensa could only express her regret:

"Then when we get back to the capital, let's find a place where no one will hear us and we can get intimate again..."

"Who wants to be affectionate with you!"

Tia couldn't help but kick Valensa again:

"We're just pretending to be a couple! And I'm just your good friend, don't always treat me like your wife! You shameless, stupid, vase-like female knight!"

"Hey~~"

Seeing that Tia refused to fall for the trick, Valensa had no choice but to go into the bathroom.

Although her plan to get close to her best friend failed, Valensa was not discouraged; on the contrary, she was very happy.

The fact that Tia would blush in front of her indicates that she is already aware of that aspect, which is a crucial turning point for many childhood sweethearts as they move from friends to lovers.

If Tia still bathes and sleeps with Valensa without any restraint, just like when they were children, and isn't shy at all about being seen or touched, then Valensa will have a real headache.

While Rutia was untying the cloth in the room, Valensa filled the bathtub with hot water and soaked comfortably in it.

While enjoying that feeling of complete comfort, I also took stock of what I had accomplished over the past two days.

The number in the lower right corner of her Dimensional Hardware Store member terminal interface has increased significantly again.

Just last night, the black-stockinged female knight walked right into the trap and reunited with her childhood sweetheart, which earned her more than ten blind box draws.

Today's fake couple act has caused the number in the bottom right corner to increment by 1 every now and then... Those great beings seem to really enjoy Valensa and Tia's intimacy.

So Valensa wanted to try something more tonight to see if she could earn more rewards, but her best friend was actually shy.

It's a pity that she missed out on the reward, but it's a good sign that Tia is shy, and the future looks promising.

As long as you keep at this pace, you'll eventually win over your best friend, and the reward will still be yours.

After washing away the fatigue of a day's activities and the grease and fumes from making beef noodles in the evening, Valensa wrapped herself in a towel and put on black pantyhose before leaving the bathroom.

"I'm done washing, Tia, it's your turn~~"

Tia had already changed out of her men's clothes, her long silver hair, which had been tied up, was now completely free. She was wearing only a thin bathrobe and was lazily slumped in a chair reading a book.

Upon seeing Valensa's alluring outfit of a bath towel and black stockings, Tia blushed and shifted her gaze before placing her hands on her hips and issuing a warning:

"Let's get this straight, you're not allowed to come in and peek!"

"Don't worry, I still have that much integrity."

Valensa smiled and nodded.

She really didn't intend to peek...

Why would you need to peek at your best friend showering? Why not just walk in confidently?

"You have no integrity left... All you have is acting skills to pretend to be virtuous."

Tia clearly had no hope for Valensa's integrity, but she needed to take a shower more, so she could only glare at Valensa fiercely as a threat before walking into the bathroom.

Valensa didn't rush in. Instead, she sat down where Tia had been sitting and picked up the book Tia had thrown on the table.

"Military strategy?"

Valensa raised an eyebrow, seemingly lost in thought:

"It seems that Tia is not satisfied with possessing two inherited secret techniques and is actually planning to cultivate military strategy? Then I'll find a reason to write down those ancient books I read in my previous life for her when I get the chance..."

Chapter 94 Fighting in the Bucket

Valensa estimated the time and figured that Tia should have already prepared the hot water and was enjoying a relaxing soak in the tub.

She then stood up, walked to the bathroom door, and pushed it open without even knocking.

"So you did manage to get in after all!"

Tia wasn't surprised at all; she just rolled her eyes coquettishly, one hand covering her chest, and the other waving Valensa towards the door.

"Go away, get out of here, don't disturb me while I'm taking a shower!"

But where is it useful?

Her arms were too slender and her figure too good; she couldn't protect anything at all.

"Whew~~ Tia, you've really developed amazingly well now~~"

Valensa confidently surveyed the area before walking to the tub and reaching out to scoop up her long, silver hair that was cascading in the water:

"Don't worry... I promised I wouldn't do anything to you, and I'll definitely keep my word. I'm just here to help you wash your hair and scrub your back."

"Who needs your help!"

Tia seemed to want to push Valensa away, but was even more embarrassed to be stared at directly by Valensa, so she quickly turned her body away, letting Valensa take her hand over her long silver hair:

"I'm such a grown-up, surely I know how to wash my own hair and scrub my own back?"

"Of course you wouldn't."
