After the morning exercise, Kiana walked back while drinking water and glanced at Angel walking and looking at her phone in an unusual way.
"Hey, what are you looking at, Angel?"
"Contacting Delta."
"Delta? What are you talking about? No, has that lazy person gotten up at this time?"
"New Zealand is 3 hours ahead of the Far East, and it's past breakfast time there. In addition, Delta is a health-conscious person, not just lazy. She usually goes to bed early and gets up early." Angel replied expressionlessly.
Then, she looked at Kiana seriously. "Aren't you going to check the information of the Babylon Experiment Tower? I've seen it in the library's database, but the detailed information requires very high permissions to unlock. We are all just B-rank Valkyries. If we want to see it, we can only ask S-rank Valkyries for help."
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Kiana blinked blankly, and then her heart warmed.
"You started to help me check so soon?"
"It can be seen that Kiana cares a lot about this. The sooner it is found out, the sooner your problem will be solved, right?"
"Yeah, I'm so touched! Let me hug you!"
"Don't come over, it smells like sweat..."
Angel accepted Kiana's hot hug reluctantly. She disliked it, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
It has a little smell, but it's completely okay. It's better to say that it's a hot and sticky experience, super good!
...
Oceania branch, on the coast where the sun is gradually getting warmer. Delta put down her phone, picked up the thermos cup next to her, and poured out the hot wolfberry water.
"What were you looking at just now?"
Wendy poked her head out from behind the wheelchair, her short green and black hair swaying gently in front of Delta's eyes.
Delta blinked her crystal gem-like eyes. "Is your mission over?"
"It's over. I just came back and brought you some specialties!" Wendy replied with a smile, handing over a high-quality massage pillow.
Delta's eyes lit up.
"This is the massage pillow I saw online last time. It's not available for mail order now!"
"Hehe! I knew you would like it, so I went to the offline store to buy it."
Wendy rubbed her nose proudly, feeling a strong sense of accomplishment when she saw Delta couldn't let it go.
It was worth it that she ran to a faraway city to purchase it after completing the mission, just to see Delta's reaction!
Wendy nodded with satisfaction.
Delta put the massage pillow behind her waist, started it, and moved with it.
"Ah~~ This feeling~~ is not comfortable at all!"
With a snap, the massage pillow was thrown to the ground.
"Huh?" Wendy was petrified.
And the ideal fluid that Delta laid under the wheels began to move, controlling the wheelchair to slowly move back.
"Oh my, advertisements really can't be believed. They say that inventions that change life are just gimmicks in the end."
Delta drank wolfberry tea and sighed slowly, like an old man who has seen through the world and has no desires or disputes.
"By the way, although it's useless, thank you. I'm very touched, Wendy."
"No, no... You're welcome! Forget it if it's useless, just find a better one later! Hahaha!"
Wendy glanced at the massage pillow on the ground, kicked it into the trash can in the distance, and then trotted to catch up with Delta's wheelchair.
"You've been working hard lately. You don't even use the electric function of the wheelchair. You've been exercising your power. Hehe, you were defeated by that little miss Ninti last time. You must be upset, right?"
"Unhappy? No."
"Huh?"
"I'm using my power just because it's convenient. I don't even need to hold the joystick. So why should I be upset?"
The salted fish girl explained as a matter of course, blinking in confusion.
Wendy was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, she hit her palm and suddenly realized—yes, how could a salted fish have that kind of mood?
What kind of ambition and competitiveness are you talking about with a fish lying flat!
"I'm superficial, just pretend I didn't say it."
Wendy covered her face.
She walked in parallel with the wheelchair, just like walking side by side with Delta, and said casually. "By the way, what were you looking at just now? You looked a little serious?"
"I completed a transaction."
Delta raised her index finger and told the story seriously and with a little pride. Wendy tilted her head.
"What deal? No, who is so stupid that they would trade with fish like you?"
"It's Angel, whom I met last time. She wants to borrow my S-rank authority to check some information. After that, she will make me some high-quality health-preserving delicacies."
"Is that so... Angel, wait, can S-rank authority be borrowed? Isn't this against the rules!?"
Wendy broke out in a cold sweat.
Of course, she knew that Delta's loyalty to Schicksal was limited. It's better to say that with such a dark childhood, it's a miracle that Delta can maintain her current attitude of not fighting the world. Don't force loyalty!
However, rules are rules. Even if you are not very loyal, you have to abide by them. At least don't ask for trouble!
Delta drank her tea blankly and said a little slowly. "Oh, she said that too, and told me to keep it a secret and not tell anyone."
"So you told me that!?"
"Wendy is not someone else."
Delta said as a matter of course, and even looked at Wendy in confusion, as if questioning why she would ask this question.
Wendy slapped her forehead fiercely, wanting to be angry but feeling helpless, wanting to be moved but not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"It's really your style, you are worthy of it, Delta! I'll forget it, and not tell others. In addition, if the headquarters pursues responsibility, remember to tell me, and I will find a way to explain it for you."
"Oh..."
"Don't look indifferent! Do you know that this kind of thing is very serious, and you may be severely punished. I'll find Angel to figure out what she wants to do—no, things have come to this point, and suddenly contacting her will leave evidence. It's better to let it go; maybe it won't be noticed." Wendy bit her finger.
As a model Valkyrie who was once loyal to Schicksal, she began to seriously consider a package plan for Delta's aftermath.
Delta ignored Wendy's entanglement. She just glanced at the sky in the direction of the headquarters and smiled slightly.
After all, the investigation was about the Babylon Experiment Tower. Presumably, the perceptive Mr. Otto has noticed something, right?
…
"Old friend, old friend, your good apprentice 'borrowed' Delta's S-rank authority and checked the information of the Babylon Experiment Tower. I wonder if you have any explanation for this?"
Otto asked with a smile.
On the other side of the video call, Fu Hua had a wooden face, her hands crossed under her body, rubbing and pinching, and her eyes began to wander.
She knew the rules of Schicksal.
Things like "borrowing" S-rank authority can be treated as betrayal.
My apprentice made a big mistake, and I was called like parents meeting the teacher. What should I do?
Fu Hua has lived for 50,000 years, but still has no relevant experience!
