Was she worried about herself? Durandal vehemently denied it—but that didn't stop Rita from smiling.
She had to admit that as long as Lady Durandal was by her side, there really seemed to be nothing to be afraid of.
This is why she dared to conspire with Raven to trick that guy—if Lady Durandal wasn't around, Rita wouldn't risk any unknown threats just because of a momentary 'desire for revenge,' no matter how much she wanted to get revenge on him.
But if Lady Durandal is here, even if that guy isn't, nothing dangerous will happen here.
"I'm sorry, Lady Durandal, Rita has a mission to attend to and cannot accompany you on a tour of the British Isles. However, I have compiled a list of nearby attractions, which I hope will be helpful to you."
With a sense of relief, he handed the carefully organized notebook to the blonde girl, who gladly accepted it.
"Then I'll just wander around on my own for now. Rita, finish the mission as soon as possible, I'm waiting for you to be my guide."
Durandal has always disliked putting personal matters before official duties. Therefore, although she could have easily postponed the task based on her merits and their relationship, she still chose to respect Rita's work. Her words revealed her complete trust in Rita, who believed that with her abilities, she would soon be able to complete the task assigned by the bishop.
"So, where should we go next...?"
Flipping through Rita's travel notebook and gazing at the delicate handwriting, the silly goose rested his chin on his hand and finally settled on the Sherlock Holmes Museum.
As a world-renowned book, Bianca, who loves books, is naturally a loyal reader. She is particularly moved by the bond between Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Watson. Since she has the opportunity to come to England, how could she, as a loyal reader, not visit such a sacred place?
Following the route in my notebook, I strolled leisurely through the streets of London. The rustic charm of the old-fashioned buildings emanated from the city, emerging under the soft morning light.
Busy pedestrians and playing children can be seen everywhere on the street.
Of course, what attracts the most attention to the silly goose is the cat lying on the green lawn enjoying the sun. Little known is that this strongest Valkyrie of Destiny is actually a potential cat lover, and she can't help but be attracted to cute cats.
What's rather frustrating for the silly goose is that it seems someone else has already taken the lead and started petting that adorable cat.
While there's no reason why two people can't pet a cat together, I, being a silly goose, don't want to abruptly insert myself into the heartwarming moment between a stranger and a cat, acting as an intruding 'third party'.
Fortunately, London is very big, so even if you miss one cat, you can still look for a new one.
But no matter how much or little, none of them could compare to that pure white cat—thinking of the image she glimpsed through the gap, the silly goose, petting a chubby orange cat, was absent-minded.
Speaking of that girl...
Bianca, sitting on a roadside bench, gazed at the white-haired girl wearing a straw sun hat. Her enviable, smooth long hair was styled into fluffy Roman curls, and a hair clip could be faintly seen. It seemed to be... a dragon.
That's strange. If it were a girl, wouldn't she prefer cute animal hair clips? Why a chameleon?
Contemplating questions she would never have considered before, Bianca inexplicably felt an urge to ask that girl where she could buy the same hair clip... Hmm, the more she looked at the hair clip, the prettier it became.
...Never mind, I'll have Rita go look for it later.
However, this kind of hair clip doesn't seem very practical for combat; it's only suitable for wearing in private... Maybe I should just go to Changguang and have one made of Soul Steel.
"...This back view looks just like that of Senior Theresa."
Staring intently at the girl, secretly doing something extremely offensive, Bianca felt somewhat apologetic, yet couldn't help but look away from her. Suddenly, she made a completely new discovery.
That back view is almost 90% identical to Theresa's!
The only difference might be their height.
"She must be from the Kaslana family, right?" the idiot guessed. White hair was almost one of Kaslana's characteristics. Although this was the British Isles rather than Austria, with the changing times, not all members of the Kaslana family chose to become warriors fighting against the Honkai. It is said that some of them chose to live like ordinary people.
I care so much...
At this moment, the silly goose felt like its heart was being scratched by a cat, desperately wanting to see the girl's face. Ruarua, that girl... um, she's a cat!
Bianca made excuses for herself, ignoring the orange cat in her arms, and slowly shifted her body, trying to get a glimpse of its face.
Even after she unknowingly moved to the edge of the stool and nearly fell, she still didn't get what she wanted.
It's as if the other person is tempting you, and you're always just a hair's breadth away from seeing it, but you just can't seem to see it no matter what you do.
So urgent!
The silly goose plopped down on the lawn, puffing out its cheeks, looking somewhat annoyed and gritting its teeth. The cat had run away.
I refuse to believe that I, a dignified S-class Valkyrie of Destiny, can't even see the face of an ordinary person!
In a very unladylike manner, she lay down on her side by the grass and got up—just a little bit more, just a little bit more... just a tiny bit more... almost there, yes! That's it! Just a hair's breadth away!
"Boom~"
Bumped into something unknown, the silly goose, its eyes wide open, turned its head and saw a policeman in a British-style uniform staring straight at it.
"Miss, we have received a report. Please come with us."
The police obviously can't just sit idly by when it comes to these oddities that obstruct the city's appearance.
The silly goose stared blankly at the handcuffs on his wrists, on the verge of tears.
How come I'm going to end up in jail after just coming to London for a vacation and not even having had a chance to explore much?
"Meow~"
"Be good, be good~"
Just as the silly goose was pondering how to handle the situation, the white-haired girl who had been 'staring at' her passed by carrying a cat. Inadvertently, she finally saw what she had been racking her brains to see—the girl's profile.
The delicate, youthful face, the clear, azure eyes like jewels... the familiar feeling immediately plunged the silly goose into memories.
It concerns what Rita showed herself.
etc--
Who...who is she?!
The overlap of memory and reality made Bianca instantly realize something, and she turned around excitedly and shouted:
"Wait a moment!"
But when I turned my head, the figure had already disappeared.
The somewhat anxious, dumbfounded goose was left standing there, along with the police officer beside him.
Nearby, an English woman was walking by with her little girl by the hand. The little girl innocently asked, "Mommy, why is this pretty big sister handcuffed?"
British woman: She must have done something bad. You mustn't follow her example when you grow up. Let's go!
"..."
The handcuffed goose was stunned by the sight.
All of this was observed by Seele, who said with considerable concern:
"That lady over there seems to be in some trouble."
(Pshaw, is it any of our business?)
"Uh...yes, but is it really okay for us to leave Bronya alone?" Seele nodded, then hesitated.
They would follow Bronya around, originally because they were worried that this substitute Bronya might cause trouble before the real 'Bronya' returned. However, as soon as they arrived in London, Black Seel urged her to tour the city.
She was hesitant at first, but Hei Xier said directly: This is our first time here, don't you really want to look around?
They successfully persuaded Seele.
Having grown up in an orphanage, Seele had always longed for the outside world and dreamed of seeing all its wonders one day—but unfortunately, due to circumstances, she could only explore it through books.
Although her travels around the world indirectly helped her realize this wish, it was still different in the end.
Another thing is that Seele really wants to travel the world with her sister Bronya.
Unfortunately, the real 'Bronya' is nowhere to be found. Although this high-quality replica isn't entirely unacceptable, and Seele isn't that picky, Black Seele isn't too happy about it. She used the following phrase:
"Do you really want to give this precious first memory to a high-quality imitation of your older sister?"
Although this inexplicable 'first time' seemed a bit strange, the loyal Miss Blue Wendy agreed with Miss Black Seele's point of view and chose to comply—this time it would just be her and another version of herself, and she could have another one with the real 'Bronya' later to make up for it.
Well, after this experience, I might even be able to be my older sister's guide in the future.
Thinking of that wonderful scene, Seele couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Of course—according to the law of conservation of smiles, smiles don't disappear into thin air; they only shift. Ducks today clearly prove this point.
Bronya was quite depressed while staying at the hotel.
She actually longed for the scenery of London, after all, her previous activities had always been in the Far East and Russia... Well, Bronya admitted that she wasn't really interested in traveling—that kind of thing couldn't compare to games!
However, she would be very happy to travel with Seele.
However, when Seele made the request to take a stroll in London, and Bronya was very excited, as if imagining a wonderful trip with Seele to happily wander around London, walk past Big Ben, and admire the Thames, Seele looked at her with some confusion:
"Bronya, are you coming too?"
Are you coming too?
...also
Needless to say, Miss Bronya was directly sunk by this attack.
Can love disappear?
Although it was very painful, she didn't associate it with that bad guy Jiang Qiao—if that bastard hadn't done what he wanted behind her back and impersonated her, Ya Ya might even have felt a little grateful.
There was no other way—YaYa could only secretly resolve to win back Seele's heart through her actions.
Before she could even shamelessly follow Xi'er, she received a communication from Anti-Entropy.
The disappearance of Dr. Magi and the Gem of Tranquility is clearly not something that can be ignored. In order to prevent any unmanageable situations from arising, Bronya, representing Anti-Entropy, needs to investigate Dr. Magi's whereabouts and seize the opportunity to stop the World Serpent's conspiracy. At the same time, they also received a message from an unknown source: Schicksal seems to have discovered traces of the Second Divine Key on the British Isles.
