After the proposal, the Valkyrie came to the door

"Um... did Anliang agree to live together so easily?"

In Seele's memory, the captain was a rather conservative person when it came to relationships. In her previous life, she had to force herself on him to win him over.

No matter how charming Alicia is, Seele doesn't believe the captain would be so hasty as to live with a girl he's only known for a few days!

"Well, at first Anliang didn't actually know she was going to live with me..."

"I just told him that the rent and utilities would be waived, and he readily agreed."

Alicia chuckled softly as she recalled the situation.

As the saying goes, even a hero can be brought down by a penny.

Although Anliang took care of Alicia for a few days and earned a little money from the rich woman, it wasn't enough for him to find a way to get himself a legal identity.

Just as he was pondering whether to make a living by selling paintings on the street or giving speeches in bars...

Miss Pink Fairy approached with a smile, saying she knew a place where, with the landlord's approval, one could rent a room at an extremely low price, and if you were lucky, it might even be free.

Anliang was initially suspicious because Alicia had been too proactive these past few days, and he felt that the girl had ulterior motives towards him.

However, even if Alicia was lusting after his body, it was still better than sleeping under a blanket under a bridge.

Moreover, Anliang believed he could resist the rich woman's sweet talk. He only needed to stay for a while, and after resolving his basic identity issues, he could run away at any time... This is called swallowing the sugar coating and returning the bullet.

And then, as we all know, that's how it turned out.

Anliang was taken to the Golden Garden by Alicia, where rent and utilities were indeed waived, but in the end, he still fell into the clutches of the Pink Fairy.

"So, so that's how Anliang was allowed to live together..."

Seele paused in her movements and gently bit her lip.

Although Alicia didn't go into the details, Seele seemed to have already seen how the girl used money and beauty to gradually corrupt and tame the captain who was in dire straits.

This is difficult, this is really difficult!

Alicia and the captain's initial encounter wasn't exactly romantic, but in a way, it was a classic case of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress.

In the realm of romance, a girl who has experienced a hero rescuing a damsel in distress is like someone with a strong claim, who can launch a legitimate offensive against a boy without anyone finding fault with it.

Alicia clearly understood this as well.

So she cleverly took advantage of the accidental fall into the water and illness, using the excuse of repaying a debt of gratitude to pay a high price to get the captain to stay and take care of her. This allowed her to show her vulnerable side to lower the captain's guard, and also to cultivate feelings for him by being alone with him.

Later, they even pulled out the killer move of offering free rentals, just to keep the captain living with them.

All of this happened in just a few days, which is enough to prove that Alicia has a clear idea and a well-defined strategy for winning over the captain, highlighting speed, accuracy and ruthlessness!

Seele put herself in her shoes...

If I were the captain back then, a penniless young man who casually saved a rich and beautiful woman.

As a result, the rich and beautiful woman gave him money to take care of her and offered him free housing. She seemed to be very dependent on him and was extremely proactive. How could anyone refuse her?

Alicia was unaware that in Seele's mind, she had become a formidable adversary with cunning methods, capable of manipulating Anliang at will.

In fact, Alicia was only interested in Anliang at first, which is why she tried to keep him and bring him to the Golden Garden.

Moreover, it took Alicia a long time to open Anliang's closed heart, unlike Seele's expectation that the captain would be devoted to her in just three moves.

"Hmm, that's about all I have to say about my story with Anliang. How did it go?"

Alicia hadn't shared her love story with anyone in a long time, and she looked somewhat reluctant to leave, asking her listeners for their thoughts.

"I never imagined that so much would happen between you and Yasuharu Hikaru after you just met. It's like a plot from a light novel. It's really interesting!"

Seele gave a forced smile and offered a half-hearted compliment.

For others, this is undoubtedly a healthy, positive, and uplifting pure love story.

But for Seele, who had a relationship with the captain in her previous life, this was like a blond guy showing off the details of his crime to his victim, who had no choice but to endure it.

There was a moment...

Bai Xier really wanted to reach a consensus with her other self, so she directly confronted the captain.

Anyway, she still has the protection of the Sea of ​​Quanta, making her practically the only superhuman in a world without Honkai energy. She could easily take the captain to a place where no one can find him and then severely humiliate his innocence.

But winning over the captain in this way feels like bowing down and admitting defeat to Alicia...

Bai Xier pursed her lips slightly, a hint of stubbornness appearing in her beautiful, deep blue eyes.

As the only one who won over the captain in her past life, the pride of a victor makes her believe that she still has a chance to win now, to openly receive the blessings of her relatives and friends, and to announce at a grand wedding that she is still the captain's rightful wife!

Can we win? Yes, we will!

Bai Xier thought with unwavering determination, calming herself down along with Hei Xier in her consciousness space. When she came to her senses, she noticed a questioning look from Alicia.

"Seele? You suddenly spaced out just now, and your expression changed several times. Are you alright?"

PS: Hope is the most deadly poison. As long as there seems to be a chance of victory, Seele won't choose the most extreme method, taking down the Captain in a near-mutually destructive way. This is similar for the other Valkyries. Only Kiana seems foolish in this regard, firmly believing from the beginning that "the Captain is only meant for the strong" and is actively preparing for battle.

Of course, the other Valkyries don't directly attack the captain because they believe he has no memories of his past life... If the captain accidentally reveals that he remembers the cycle of reincarnation, hehehe, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Chapter 161 Seele remained silent, only launching a relentless attack.

Hearing Alicia's slightly concerned voice...

Only then did Seele belatedly realize that she had been spacing out for quite a while, and the ingredients she was washing were almost crushed in her hands.

"I'm fine, I was just feeling a bit emotional and had a few thoughts to myself."

"Hmm, talking to myself..."

Alicia felt that there was something strange about those words, and then she remembered something Xiaoshi had mentioned, and suddenly she understood. "So, were you just chatting with another Seele?"

"Yes, after all, my other self is also very interested in Anliang's love life."

Seele nodded, her expression no longer revealing anything unusual.

She wasn't lying; Blackie was indeed interested in the captain's love, but even more interested in how to make him her husband.

"So that's how it is. I'd really like to get to know the other Seele~?"

Alicia blinked her beautiful eyes. She didn't see the girl as a rival, but her words were full of curiosity about Kuroshi.

“Actually, one of my good friends also has multiple personality disorder, but unlike your dual personality, Shere, she actively created the personality, and she has a total of eight personalities.”

The best friend Alicia mentioned was undoubtedly Velvi.

This great magician of the Golden Garden divided his mind into different parts in order to make it easier for him to switch between different identities... The reason why he only divided it into eight personalities is because there is an upper limit to the amount of mental capacity that can be used; if there were more, he would not be able to maintain the standard of "genius".

To be honest, the difference in talent between people is even greater than the difference between a person and a dog.

Vilvi can divide her thoughts into eight parts and each part is comparable to a genius, while Anliang tried his best to get into a graduate program in fine arts but failed.

Anliang once lamented in his reincarnation that if this great magician, who had traveled from the previous civilization all the way to the present, had been alive, he wouldn't have needed to start over hundreds of times to defeat the Cocoon of the End.

Unfortunately, of the Thirteen Heroes of the Fire Chaser, only Kevin and the Immortal were able to participate in the final battle.

Like An Liang, these two have focused all their talent on combat, so there's no need to expect them to come up with any clever gadgets that can counter the End.

Technology is something you can't control if you don't want to.

Anliang tried to learn the theoretical knowledge of several cycles, but in the end he gave up and chose to simply increase his combat power to clear the Cocoon of the End.

Pulling away, get back to business.

"Eight personalities? It seems like your friends aren't ordinary people, Alicia. I'd really like to get to know them sometime."

Faced with Alicia's enthusiasm, Seele hesitated for a moment before responding politely.

"However, let's focus on preparing the ingredients for now. Bronya's progress seems to be faster than expected."

"That's true, Xiao Shi and An Liang seem quite motivated..."

Alicia glanced back towards the living room, her expression becoming somewhat subtle.

How should I put it? She and Seele could hear Xiao Shi jumping around in the kitchen, and An Liang constantly giving instructions and cooperating with her. Occasionally, Fu Hua would give her helpless instructions, and Bronya, who seemed to have been piqued, would also ask An Liang for help.

Well, what started as a simple decoration activity has gradually turned into a fun team-building activity thanks to Xiaoshi's initiative.

"As expected of Xiaoshi, young people are full of energy."

Alicia exclaimed, then said with a touch of playfulness, "Does this mean the party has started early?"

"Maybe so. Even Bronya is joining in the fun, so it feels like there's already a great atmosphere even without any decorations."

Seele placed the washed ingredients into the clean basket, and saw a hint of eagerness on Alicia's flawless face.

"If Miss Alicia wants to go out and have a look around, I can leave the kitchen to her alone."

"That won't do. I promised to help Seele prepare the ingredients, I can't back out now!"

Although Alicia enjoys joining in the fun, it doesn't mean she'll abandon her responsibilities; the Pink Fairy is quite responsible.

"Besides, all the ingredients have been washed clean. Next, we just need to process them a little. It won't take much effort. We can go find Anliang and the others to play after we're done."

Alicia waved her fist energetically, her eyebrows curving into crescents, revealing a bright smile.

Seele watched quietly from the side, and suddenly began to understand the captain's choice in this life.

Some people truly have smiles as radiant as summer flowers. Their faces are undeniably alluring, yet they exude an innocent charm. And with a casual blink, they can captivate the hearts of others.

Sweet and proactive, with a touch of mystery beneath her flirtatious demeanor, she seems like a bad woman at first glance, but upon closer contact, you can feel her sincerity and cuteness...

For boys, this is the perfect combination of a white moonlight and a cinnabar mole, making it impossible to resist.

If it weren't for the captain, Seele would have been happy to become good friends with Alicia, but unfortunately, there are no "ifs".

Seele lowered her eyes, her long, butterfly-like eyelashes concealing the complex emotions in her beautiful eyes.

Since we're destined to be rivals, it's better to keep a distance. Otherwise, things will become distorted and confusing, leaving us in a dilemma.

Thinking of this, Seele stopped talking and focused solely on preparing the ingredients.

With her extensive experience in making friends, Alicia could vaguely sense that Seele was keeping her distance, but she simply assumed it was just the naivety of a young girl who had only known each other for a short time.

It's not a big problem; she's seen this kind of thing many times before.

Anliang used to ignore her, but now he's obediently lying in her bed... Let time tell.

Alicia raised her eyebrows and began to focus her attention on the ingredients.

The ingredients for barbecue are relatively easy to prepare.

Meat dishes like lamb, beef, and pork belly can be sliced ​​or cut into strips and then marinated with cooking wine, light soy sauce, cumin, and a little starch. Chicken wings can be scored, coated with honey, and sprinkled with a suitable amount of pepper. Seafood like oysters and shellfish is even simpler; after spitting out the sand, just brush with sauce while grilling.

As for vegetables, most can be washed and left to sit. Potatoes or lotus roots can be sliced ​​and soaked in water to prevent oxidation. Eggplants can be cut in half, brushed with oil, then garlic sauce can be added and wrapped in aluminum foil to retain the juice.

The steps are not difficult, but there are quite a few ingredients enough for five people.

It took Alicia quite a while to get it done.

When she looked up at Seele, she found that the girl, whose cooking skills were even more superb, had already finished and was already turning around to check if the dough for the cake had risen properly.

"Hey, Seele, it looks like you haven't put a few pieces of meat in the marinator yet?"

As Alicia was about to finish her work, she glanced at the kitchen counter and was surprised to see that Seele still had some ingredients that hadn't been processed.

Was it overlooked? Or is it used for something else?

As Alicia pondered, she heard Seele reply in a soft, calm, and casual voice.

"You mean this? This was specially reserved for Anliang. Besides the regular barbecue flavor, he also likes simple salt-grilled food because it brings out the original flavor of the ingredients better."

PS: After realizing the strength of her opponent, will Seele still choose to attack? Or, facing an opponent as impenetrable as the Maginot Line, will Seele choose to bypass it and launch a blitzkrieg against the Captain?

Chapter 162 Captain: Is this what a harmonious harem feels like?

Ok? !

Alicia suddenly raised her head.

Seele's words seemed harmless at first glance, but upon closer examination, it was hard not to speculate in certain directions.

"Um, Seele, you seem to know a lot about Anliang's tastes?"
