My Valkyries Seems To Be All Come From The Future - Chapter 5: First Task

“Ah!”

Alvitr was startled by Rita’s words. She quickly shrank back, standing behind Rita and peeking her head out from beside her shoulder, scrutinizing Chen Wenjin up and down.

As it was his first day on the job, Chen Wenjin was dressed quite formally in a suit and tie. Although he had no idea how wearing such a formal attire in an organization like the Immortal Blades, which fought against the Honkai, would be perceived.

After all, it seemed like there weren’t many male employees in the Immortal Blades, and the male employees primarily concentrated in non-combat roles like research labs.

So, in Alvitr’s eyes, Chen Wenjin still appeared as someone who dressed very carefully.

She looked at Chen Wenjin, feeling somewhat afraid.

So this is what adults often refer to as a “wolf in sheep’s clothing”? Dressed so neatly, yet thinking about such things?

“Wuwuwu! Lady Rita, I don’t want to work with this man!”

Alvitr began to cry and complain to Rita.

“Are you trying to teach me how to assign tasks?”

Rita’s face broke into a smile.

The more Alvitr looked at this smile, the more frightened she became. However, whenever she thought about the day when this man might turn against her, she felt even stronger.

“I… I didn’t! But… but Lady Rita, you also said that if he were to lay a hand on me one day… wuwuwu, what am I supposed to do then!”

Chen Wenjin: “?”

What are you saying?

Chen Wenjin also took a moment to size up Alvitr, who Rita had dubbed the best tool.

Breast, smaller than Rita; legs, not as good as Rita’s; face… nondescript; hairstyle, average.

Is that it?

Chen Wenjin glanced at Rita and suppressed the words he wanted to say.

Well, it’s my first day on the job. It’s important to leave a good impression on the boss. I should try to find a transfer to Saint Freya.

Saint Freya, with its youthful and energetic student atmosphere, seems more suitable for me.

“Sigh…”

Rita heard Alvitr’s reasoning and shook her head with a smile.

“It was just a joke. I didn’t expect you to take it seriously.”

“Just… just a joke?”

Alvitr wiped away her tears.

“Do you think I would have recruited someone with that kind of issue?”

Rita’s eyes narrowed slightly. Alvitr’s hair stood on end. When their Vice-Captain looked at them with this narrowed-eyed, smiling expression, it was the most dangerous moment.

“Of course not! The Vice-Captain wouldn’t recruit anyone with issues!”

“Our unit has so many lovely young ladies. How could I possibly recruit a dangerous man?”

Chen Wenjin furrowed his brows.

Are we close? How do you know I’m not dangerous? Though, I’m really not dangerous.

After all, I have social anxiety. I’m only fit for chatting with people using a keyboard. Even then, my replies are mostly “Mm, yes, sure.”

Why does this Rita seem to understand me better than I do myself?

It’s strange.

However, this is still the Immortal Blades squad, an elite Valkyrie squad within Schicksal. Although he hasn’t yet figured out why Rita allowed him to join this squad, if she’s willing to let him in, they must have conducted a thorough investigation on him. Perhaps they deduced something from his past experiences…

I’m not overthinking anything! I’ve only been in this world for a few years, and it’s been just a little over a year since I applied to Schicksal. Why should you understand me?

Chen Wenjin’s confusion was growing, but none of his questions seemed to have answers. After all, he was facing the most mysterious woman in Schicksal: Rita, the woman with many secrets.

K423 is easier to understand, she acts cute all the time and her mind is simple.

“Mr. Chen Wenjin… You seem to be thinking about something not very pleasant.”

Just as Chen Wenjin was comparing K423 and Rita in his mind, leaning towards the idea that K423 would be a better candidate to be his wife than Rita, Rita’s face suddenly enlarged in his field of vision.

“Oh, no… I’m just thinking about what I can do here.”

He even pretended to stroke his chin.

Could it be that he’s going to become a reliable tool like Alvitr in the future? Could that be the reason Rita placed him in Alvitr’s current position?

But why would Rita do that?

Moreover, his purpose for joining Schicksal was solely to find a way to Saint Freya. If he’s going to stay in Schicksal for long, it would be quite challenging for him.

【Task: Be a Reliable Tool】

【Task Description: Assume Alvitr’s role and assist Rita in the next mission.】

【Task Reward: Accurate Supply Box x10】

Hmm?

Chen Wenjin’s eyes suddenly lit up.

He didn’t expect the System to give him a task at this moment, and it even came with clear rewards – a ten-pull for an Accurate Supply Box.

“Does this mean he can draw weapons or holy runes from the Ten Consecutive Draws?”

“He can also use holy runes now?”

“That’s great.”

With holy runes, does he no longer have to worry about being beaten by the enforcers?

“Chen Wenjin?”

Rita’s voice echoed again, instantly bringing Chen Wenjin back from his daydreaming.

“Ah? I’m here.”

“Did you actually listen to what I just said?”

Rita squinted her eyes and smiled slightly.

“Huh? What did you say just now?”

Chen Wenjin had been entirely focused on the mission released by the system and hadn’t noticed what Rita had said to him.

But Alvitr’s previously relaxed hair stood on end again. Although she knew that Vice Captain Rita was directing her expression at the new colleague, Chen Wenjin, she couldn’t help but feel scared!

Well, this newcomer who took my spot is in trouble.

“It seems like you didn’t pay serious attention to what I just said.”

Rita leaned slightly closer to Chen Wenjin’s face.

Alvitr was getting excited.

Is it coming? Is it Rita Vice Captain’s uppercut or the deadly consecutive kicks going to be launched to the new kid? Either way, it’s always a thrilling sight to see when Lady Rita does it.

Then she heard it.

“Well, since you didn’t hear me just now, let me repeat it.”

“!”

Alvitr felt like her eyeballs were about to fall out.

Is this really Rita? The Vice Captain of the Immortal Blades?

When have they ever seen Vice Captain Rita treat her subordinates so gently!?

Not only Alvitr, but the other Valkyries also felt like they were seeing a fake Rita.
