Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Dangerous Thoughts
After that day, Sirin was obviously different from before.
She was no longer impetuous because of the loss of power and the inability to control her current situation.
She began to get in touch with human things other than games, animation, junk food, and other special products for dead otakus, such as various magazines and various websites.
For example, she even came into contact with Tachibana Yuki's maids in the image of black-haired and black-eyed Tachibana Izumi.
It must be said that the calmness that naturally flows out of power and the violent heart that resents the whole world, these factors revealed from the queen's unpretentious appearance, really shocked the maids.
And the most important thing is, of course, her closeness and attachment to Tachibana Yuki, and she began to become calm, as if she was finally unburdened, and more like making some kind of compromise in her heart.
Angie saw it, but she was not happy that her previous strategy was successful.
Because she also understood that Sirin was not moved by her words, but saw a light hanging in the dark and couldn't help wanting to grab it, that's all.
Perhaps because Angel's initial motivation was possessiveness, and she used calculations to keep Sirin by her side, this impure intention naturally could only get this unreal result.
"Sister, I love you~~"
"It's so corny! Aren't you annoying? I don't believe your sweet talk, save your saliva!"
"Hehe, if sister doesn't believe it, I'll tell you every day until you believe it!"
"What if I still don't believe it?"
"Then I'll tell you every day!"
"Hmph!"
Sirin played games and glanced at Tachibana Yuki with disdain.
Tachibana Yuki came over, stuffed a cherry into Sirin's mouth, smiled gently, then leaned against her shoulder and slowly closed her eyes.
'Forget it, it's impure, if you regard me as a shelter for your heart, then I'm willing to give you the warmth you want.
What if it's true or false, it's enough for both of us to feel at ease and happy.'
Tachibana Yuki sighed in her heart and gradually fell asleep in the cool breeze blowing from the window and the slightly sweet breath of Sirin.
Sirin paused and turned her head to look at Tachibana Yuki's quiet and cute sleeping face. Then, she silently turned off the sound and continued her game, with a gentle arc unconsciously raised at the corner of her mouth, curling in Yuki's arms.
...
At sunset, on the coast of Saint Freya, Delta sighed quietly.
"Shhh~"
The liquid that slowly poured out from the thermos was no longer the sweet wolfberry tea, but the thick green bitter melon juice.
Delta poured it out sadly. "Wendy, I..."
"Bitter melon is rich in vitamins B, C, calcium, iron, and other nutrients. Bitter melon can burn fat, increase blood vessel permeability, protect the cardiovascular system, help lower blood pressure and blood cholesterol, prevent diabetes, and enhance antiviral and anti-cancer abilities - believe me, it is much healthier than wolfberry tea."
"The problem is that for a month, the wolfberry is soaked and the bitter melon juice is poured out here! You are just taking revenge, right?"
"Yes! Do you have any objections?"
Wendy stood behind the wheelchair, gently rubbing Delta's temple with both hands, and asked with a gentle and sweet smile.
Delta was speechless.
"Tun tun tun! Burp~~"
At this time, Kiana, who was lying on the rocking chair next to her, drank half a bottle of Coke generously and burped comfortably.
She coveted this rocking chair during the battle of Chiyou, but it was later given to Theresa by Delta. Today, while Theresa was busy at work, Kiana stole it from her home. The actual experience was better than Kiana expected.
"Oh, it's wobbly, like floating. Delta, where did you buy it?"
"Top-quality customized version, I'll give the link to you, 20% off if you tell me your name."
"Report it to Auntie in the future! I'll take this chair home. Don't tell her. Just let her think it's lost. She'll find funds to buy it again anyways."
Kiana waved her hand carelessly with a carefree attitude.
Delta glanced at her, then turned back to continue admiring the sunset without saying anything. Wendy's mouth twitched, and she said:
"Does Lady Theresa often embezzle public funds like this?"
"I don't know about that. I only know that there is a sponsor named Tachibana Yuki in the Far East who sends money to her every day. Rocking chairs and the like are all available as long as my aunt mentions them."
"I have heard that Saint Freya's funds have suddenly become much more abundant in the past six months, so some of the more financially constrained Schicksal branches are ready to move, and they all want to ask Lady Theresa what tricks she has."
In fact, the new branch chief of the Oceania branch secretly wrote to Wendy two days ago, asking her to find out the source of funds in a roundabout way.
The current situation of the Oceania branch is very embarrassing.
They have money, but most of it is spent on Delta's living space and protective measures. Of course, this is reasonable, because Delta is Oceania's biggest trump card and the biggest source of danger, and investment is necessary. However, for areas outside Delta, the headquarters does not want to give a penny more except for the basic operation and maintenance expenses. After all, once Delta gets out of control, these places will be the first to be affected and will become ruins.
Isn't it stupid to build a large-scale project on the crater of an active volcano?
[Wendy, we are suffering in Oceania, you must help us, please~~]
Recalling the pitiful scene of the branch head crying, Wendy's mouth twitched.
And Kiana crossed her legs comfortably, resting her head with her hands, looking lazy and without any idea, and said:
"You have to ask her in person, I don't know."
"That's true."
Wendy rubbed her head with a headache.
The source of funds involves the development and planning of a branch. Generally speaking, it should be a very sensitive confidential matter, and it always feels difficult to talk about it.
Then, Wendy looked at Delta again and saw that she turned the thermos cup upside down and shook it gently, as if she wanted to pour out the wolfberry water from the empty cup.
"Puff!"
Wendy covered her mouth and chuckled and finally took out Delta's original thermos cup from behind.
"Here you go."
"Bitter melon juice again?"
"You'll know when you pour it out!"
"Ah! This reddish color, this sweet fragrance, this warm taste! My premium wolfberry hot tea, it's been a month, I miss it so much!"
Delta held the cup, her face moved.
Wendy shook her head with a smile.
"Are you addicted?"
"It's none of your business! Bad Wendy, you just bully me!"
"Huh?"
"Wendy is the best, thank you Wendy~~"
Delta changed her expression in a second and said sweetly.
Wendy was at a loss for words again and just looked at the sunset with Delta. Her eyes, dyed red by the light, contained a complex feeling that only she knew.
...
"Lord Durandal, Delta's health has deteriorated, right?"
"Ah? Uh, that, about this matter..."
"I know everything. I saw Lady Rita deal with that room, and she told me everything. Really, she even pretended to throw me up in the air. Am I that fragile? Shouldn't you tell me about this kind of thing openly, and then we face it together?"
"Well, after all, it's to the point of incontinence. Delta, she also wants to maintain her dignity in front of you."
...
It's hard to get Rita to say something, but it's easy to get Durandal to say something.
On the one hand, Durandal is straightforward and extremely bad at lying. At most, she will keep silent to strangers, but it's hard for her to hide anything from trusted companions. On the other hand, Wendy had guessed the truth to some extent. She could not resist using the guessed part of the situation to get the complete truth.
Wendy had also imagined incontinence, but when she heard it from Durandal, she still felt a shrinking heart, as if someone had squeezed her heart with a fist.
But she couldn't let Delta know. She had to pretend that she knew nothing and had to retaliate against Delta - in the most gentle way that would not cause any harm.
'Is this all I can do?'
Wendy was unwilling in her heart and suddenly a very dangerous idea came to her mind.
'The fusion experiment of the Gem of Serenity at the headquarters seems to be still in progress. After all, I am the first Valkyrie who can accommodate the Gem of Desire. Maybe I can...'
