Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

On her way here, she had already seen many snacks, and her mouth was practically watering.

"You young people can go explore on your own, just remember to meet up at the designated time."

Knowing full well the girl's gluttonous nature, Himeko waved her hand casually.

She understands the principle that if you want to enjoy a melon, you have to create the conditions for it to ripen.

"Yohoo~"

Kiana was overjoyed.

But on the other side, Theresa's body suddenly tensed up.

"Oh my, what a coincidence to run into Lady Theresa here!"

A voice, respectful yet tinged with a hint of pleasure, softly rang out in front of the white-haired loli's gaze.

Chapter 245 When many people travel together, one person will inevitably be superfluous.

"Rita!?" Theresa exclaimed in surprise, and immediately hid behind Himeko. Then, remembering that this would damage the headmistress's dignity, she peeked out with half her head. "Y-how did you get here?"

And, there's also Durandal?

Seeing the two S-class Valkyries walking hand in hand, Theresa felt a chill run down her spine.

Rita was troublesome enough, but adding Durandal on top of that... she felt like she wouldn't have a peaceful day at all.

“Today is New Year’s Day in the Far East, so I brought Lady Durandal out to experience the festive atmosphere.” Rita explained with a smile, her gaze sweeping over Theresa, her eyes gleaming with the excitement of spotting prey. “Lady Theresa, your outfit is indeed very cute. It was worth the long time I spent choosing it.”

"you you you……"

Her body trembled uncontrollably. Theresa pointed a finger at the smiling maid, her face instantly turning bright red.

As the principal of St. Freya Academy, when has she ever suffered such injustice?

"Yeah, what can we do when our headmistress is just so adorable~"

With her eyes slightly narrowed, Himeko emphasized the word "we".

"But Lady Theresa is also destined by fate."

Speaking in a gentle yet firm tone, Rita met Himeko's gaze without flinching.

In an instant, sensing the tension between the Fated Maid and the Far East Ace, the Book of Azure Profound immediately became excited: "Let's fight! Let's fight! I want to see..."

The next second, both Valkyries looked at the doll at the same time.

The Book of Cangxuan immediately fell silent.

"Rita?"

Still somewhat confused, Durandal asked, puzzled.

“It’s just a few minor issues,” Rita said softly, her face still bearing an elegant and composed smile. “Now, let me serve Lady Theresa.”

As she spoke, Rita bowed slightly to Theresa, as if she were truly a professional maid.

Theresa stepped back instantly, then pulled Bronya and Seele away, saying, "No need, you two can explore on your own!"

If she can't afford to offend them, can't she at least avoid them?

In this cold and cruel world, only Bronya could offer her a little comfort.

Watching the white-haired loli's hasty retreat, Rita wasn't in a hurry to chase after her. She simply pursed her lips and let out a soft laugh: "She's really cute, Lady Theresa."

With a slight smile, Himeko neither confirmed nor denied the matter.

She could often hold the tiny headmistress in her arms and play with her, so she was naturally the one who understood Theresa's cuteness best.

Yulandel: "..."

Although she still didn't understand what had happened, she felt as if she had stepped into some kind of strange battlefield.

"It's rare to meet here, how about we go for a stroll together? Miss Durandal, Miss Rita?"

Shihen took the initiative to invite him.

"Then it depends on Lady Durandal's decision."

Rita took a light half-step back, looking as if she were completely subservient to Durandal.

"..." Meeting the intensely burning gaze of the white fluffy ball, Durandal nodded gently, "That couldn't be better."

stare--

Kiana's cheeks puffed up instantly.

"Um... Kiana, is there something on my face?"

Yulandel pressed her bangs down to cover the mark and asked somewhat uneasily.

She felt that the other person's gaze was a little too intense.

"nothing!"

Kiana turned her head away angrily.

"Lady Durandal, please don't take it so seriously. This is just a young girl's little secret~"

Rita saw right through the white fluffy ball's little scheme, put a finger to her lips, and winked at Durandal with a smile.

"Is that right?"

Somewhat puzzled, Durandal nodded nonetheless.

She always trusted Rita's judgment.

"Alright, Kiana, let's go buy some food too."

On the other side, Mei also gently persuaded him, just like a mother disciplining a naughty child.

"Well……"

Kiana glanced at the long street of food stalls not far away, and smelled the tempting aromas wafting in the air. After struggling for a few seconds, she slowly nodded.

No white fluffy dumpling can resist the temptation of delicious food.

If you do, it just means you don't have enough delicious food.

Shihen glanced at Kiana, who looked like a little glutton, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

"To be honest, I've been so busy with official duties lately that I haven't had a chance to properly entertain you both."

Looking at Rita beside her, who wore a perfect smile as if she were wearing a mask, Himeko narrowed her eyes and said.

Although nominally both S-rank Valkyries came to St. Freya for a vacation, Durandal had only been in St. Freya for half a month.

If you say that these two S-class Valkyries didn't have ulterior motives, even Kiana probably wouldn't believe it.

"This should be considered our fault. Lady Durandal and I are just ordinary people who came here, how could we dare to delay Senior Himeko's important business?"

Rita responded with a smile, her words leaving no room for doubt.

To be fair, she did not receive any secret missions.

If we exclude "making Durandal happy in St. Freya".

There is an old Chinese saying: "Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?"

Whatever the reason, since you two have come to St. Freya, we should treat you well.

Himeko continued.

Even based on the results of the secret surveillance over the past few days, Durandal and Rita did not exhibit any unusual behavior; they were simply sightseeing in and around St. Freya.

The only thing worth noting is that the training facilities used by Durandal have all suffered varying degrees of damage.

Well, even under the guise of a vacation, Durandal's daily training load is still terrifying.

With this kind of performance, how dare you say you're on vacation?

Or perhaps the other party intends to achieve some ulterior motive through the training facilities?

Himeko glanced at the blonde Valkyrie beside her, whose expression was slightly serious, and began to speculate in her mind.

"How could I possibly accept that? Senior Himeko, please keep the important matters at hand."

Rita continued to smile.

If Theresa were here, she might be happier, but Himeko... she should just stick to her overtime work.

"..."

Shihen glanced at the two people arguing behind him, but didn't pay much attention. He simply bought a few servings of takoyaki and distributed them to the group of girls.

"Huh? I have one too? How much is it? I'll pay you."

Looking at the steaming hot dumplings in her hand, Durandal looked somewhat surprised, and then made a move to take out her money.

She didn't think her relationship with the boy was close enough for her to treat him to food.

"No need, it's just some snacks. I haven't even had a chance to thank Miss Durandal for saving my life yet."

Shihen hurriedly smiled and refused.

"Ok."

Nodding, Durandal reluctantly accepted the explanation.

But just as they finished dealing with the silly goose, another white fluffy ball turned its gaze toward them.

Seeing the girl's puffed-up cheeks, Shihen couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

He felt that Kiana seemed to care a little too much about Durandal.

Is this another form of repulsion between like?

Be rational. You and Durandal are sisters who will fight side by side in the future!

With a sigh, Shihen forked a meatball from his box and offered it to the young woman: "Ah~"

"Mmm~" Kiana took a bite without hesitation, and a smile immediately bloomed on her face. "Hen is still the best to me."

As she spoke, Kiana gave Durandal a slight glare.

Sure enough, the only way to deal with those fluffy little creatures is with delicious food.

Looking at the girl's bright, spring-like smile, Shihen nodded to himself, and then...

Zizzi~

A buzzing sound, accompanied by the crackling of electric arcs, filled the air.

Following the sound, Shihen met Mei's face with a gentle smile, but the purple light in her pupils seemed to be brewing thunderclouds.

No, Kiana is one thing, but how come even Mei, who has always been gentle and sensible, has changed?

"..."

After hesitating for half a second, Shihen decisively offered the second glutinous rice ball.

Mei pressed down her wind-blown hair, parted her thin lips slightly, and took a bite of the still-steaming dumpling in front of her.

Mei, who had been raised with strict discipline since childhood, did not shout like Kiana, but her smile suddenly became more happy, and the arcs of electricity in the air disappeared instantly.

Relieved, Shihen looked at the blonde girl beside him.

"No, I don't need to!"

Subconsciously taking a half step back, Durandal quickly stuffed her takoyaki into her mouth.

Shi Hen: “…”

Even if he didn't actually intend to feed the strongest Valkyrie, wasn't your retreat a bit too fast?

Ignoring the boy's thoughts, Durandal looked at the three people getting along well in front of her, and then at Rita and Himeko who were still fighting each other behind her. She suddenly felt that she was a bit superfluous here.

"Speaking of which, it's quite unexpected to run into Miss Durandal in a place like this."

After calming Kiana and Mei down with a few takoyaki, Shihen finally brought the atmosphere back to normal.

"I also understand the importance of balancing work and rest."
