My Valkyries Seems To Be All Come From The Future - Chapter 10: Being Single for Too Long Makes Everything Sound Like a Confession

“Mr. Chen Wenjin, I haven’t said anything yet, and you’re already saying you want to follow me. Isn’t that a bit presumptuous?”

Rita’s eyes sparkled for a moment, and then she squinted, her eyes curving like crescent moons.

“I can’t defeat you, and since you’ve said you won’t hand me over to Otto, who else can I follow? Am I supposed to find Durandal?”

Chen Wenjin shrugged, and he indeed had limited acquaintances in Schicksal. Besides Otto and Durandal, there was hardly anyone else he knew. Plus, wasn’t Theresa in the Far East now? If it weren’t for the lack of a reason to go to St. Freya, he would have taken a flight to the Far East long ago. Why would he go in the opposite direction to Schicksal’s headquarters?

He just needed to find a suitable excuse to be dispatched to St. Freya.

But now, he had just joined Schicksal, and Rita had already discovered his Honkai adaptability. Since Rita had said she wouldn’t hand him over to Otto, he could only temporarily cling to Rita’s thigh.

Although Rita was acting mysteriously, he couldn’t figure out what she wanted.

However, as he was speaking, a faint sense of danger enveloped him, and Chen Wenjin’s body shivered. He looked at Rita in bewilderment.

Did I say something wrong? Why is she looking at me like this again?

“Mr. Chen Wenjin, who did you say you wanted to find just now?”

Rita’s waist lowered slightly again, and although Chen Wenjin saw more, he dared only use his peripheral vision. He believed that if he dared to look down a bit more, he might get into trouble.

Then Chen Wenjin glanced downward briefly and quickly averted his gaze.

Damn, that’s too big. It’s impossible for me to refuse like this.

“Um, I don’t think I said anything just now?”

Chen Wenjin and Rita stared at each other, and he cleared his throat.

“But I think I heard Lady Durandal’s name just now.”

Rita seemed to completely ignore the fact that his gaze had shifted downward and focused entirely on what Chen Wenjin had said earlier.

I see.

Rita probably didn’t want him to have too much contact with Durandal, considering he was a male and Durandal was a female. Getting too close might lead to some unfavorable rumors.

“No, it must be a misunderstanding on Miss Rita’s part.”

Chen Wenjin’s gaze couldn’t help but shift downward again, then he quickly looked back up.

Damn, can’t you stand up straight and talk properly? Your actions are making it hard for me to concentrate.

She’s using this kind of tactic on me. Isn’t this bullying? How could I resist this?

Maybe I should ask a few more questions so I can sneak more glances.

“Is that so?”

Then Rita stood up straight.

“But Mr. Chen Wenjin is so resolute in wanting to join the Immortal Blades’ Third Squad; it surprised me a bit.”

She paused for a moment.

“It’s as if Mr. Chen Wenjin is very familiar with Rita.”

“Today is probably only the second time we’ve met, right?”

So, you also acknowledge that today is our second meeting? Without you saying so, I might have thought we’d known each other for years and were even in a romantic relationship.

Who would give this kind of favor to someone they’ve met for the second time?

Regarding this kind of behavior where favors are given so easily, he fully supports it and hopes for more.

But after hearing Rita say this, Chen Wenjin realized that he had inadvertently revealed many issues in his words.

Because his words, subconsciously, showed a certain level of trust in Rita.

This was because Chen Wenjin knew that no matter how mysterious Rita’s actions were or how hard she was to read, she was still a Valkyrie of Schicksal. As long as he didn’t have any intention of causing harm to Schicksal deep down, she could be considered a trustworthy person.

So, from Rita’s perspective, it sounded like Chen Wenjin had known her for a long time.

Could he really have known her for long? Rita has been on the ship for quite a while. Could it be that there are people who haven’t maxed out Rita’s affection rating yet?

Oh, I didn’t draw the fridge. Well, that’s fine.

“*Sigh*… Miss Rita, it seems like I’m starting to feel that way too.”

Cold sweat trickled down Chen Wenjin’s back. Could she have discovered the fact that I’m a transmigrator?

However, he remained composed on the surface and even thought about how to respond.

“It’s probably because Miss Rita is so beautiful, isn’t it? I’ve always had no resistance to pretty girls.”

“Always?”

However, Rita didn’t take his words seriously at all. In fact, she seized a crucial word in his sentence.

“It looks like Mr. Chen Wenjin knows quite a few girls?”

For some reason, Chen Wenjin suddenly felt a chill.

No, I was complimenting your beauty. Why are you fixating on certain words I said?

Chen Wenjin cleared his throat.

“No, Miss Rita, you are the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen.”

“What about Lady Durandal?”

Rita asked softly.

“I remember that this morning, you also said something about Lady Durandal being beautiful, right?”

“You might as well give it to me straight, what do you really want to say?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Wenjin chose to give up. He closed his eyes and tilted his neck, exposing it to Rita.

Please, use your scythe and strike here. I won’t dodge it.

If Chen Wenjin couldn’t grasp the meaning behind Rita’s words, he would truly be foolish.

However, he couldn’t be sure if his guess was correct. Who knew if Rita was just toying with him?

The words Rita had just spoken were no different from those of a jealous girlfriend.

Would a woman he had known for only two days, his female boss no less, compare him to other women? The words she had spoken had a tinge of jealousy.

But Chen Wenjin didn’t dare to be certain of this conclusion.

It couldn’t possibly be that Rita liked him. That was impossible. It would be one of life’s three major illusions. He had only known Rita for two days, and unlike in novels, she didn’t address him as ‘Captain’ as soon as they met. If she had, he would have believed it.

Then he saw Rita bend down again and whisper in his ear.

“What if I said I liked you, would you believe it?”

“Huh?”

Chen Wenjin fell silent, opened his eyes, and looked at Rita in disbelief.

What did she just say? Did I mishear it?

Or have I been single for so long that anything I heard from a girl is now a confession of love?
