The story of the black silk female knight

After a quick thought, Valensa asked again:

"Senior sister, you used to be very familiar with the Sin Angel? Do you know her well? Could you tell me some information about the Sin Angel as well?"

“Of course I have no problem telling you, after all you are my lovely junior sister... but I don’t actually know that much.”

Miss Phantom Thief recalled:

"We revelers have a rule that when a new member joins, an older member must mentor them for a period of time... and the person who mentored me when I joined was the Sin Angel."

However, she didn't tell me much about herself. She just told me about some weird and messy rules of the revelers, and then let me secretly watch her do something twice before we parted ways.

I learned this skill of disguise from watching her cause trouble... Perhaps it was because she realized this that she quickly shook me off.

Now, my impression of her is very faint... Besides remembering that she was very good at disguise, I also remember that she was crazy and knew a lot about cults.

Chapter 119 It's still Tia who knows what I like~~

"Is that so...Okay then."

Valensa was somewhat disappointed at not being able to find out more about the Sinful Angel. She could only cling to the Phantom Thief, nuzzling against her and acting coquettishly, her voice soft and sweet:

"If you get any news about the Sinful Angel in the future, could you please let me know?"

Being hugged and rubbed against by a hot, beautiful girl clearly enjoyed the phantom thief. She closed her eyes comfortably for a few seconds, then readily nodded.

"Of course, no problem... Junior sister, you're so cute, it's only right that your senior sister spoils you."

"Thank you so much, senior sister! ~mua~~"

Valensa smiled even more seductively, and then kissed the Phantom Thief's mask before turning and running towards the school.

"Goodbye, senior! I'm going back to school to find the real Tia, bye-bye~~"

"...This junior sister..."

The phantom thief stood there stunned for a while before touching the spot where she had been kissed and muttering to herself:

"She really is a dangerous woman."

. . . . .

Valensa was already very familiar with the girls' dormitory in the command department.

She greeted several familiar faces from the conducting department with smiles, and headed straight for Tia's room amidst their amused gazes.

"Tia~~"

Upon meeting, Valensa couldn't wait to push Tia onto the bed, while she lay down beside the bed, grabbed one of Tia's white-stockinged feet, and rubbed it against her face.

What are you doing?

Tia blushed instantly and kicked Valensa's soft flesh with her other little foot, but it was weak and seemed like a reward.

Valensa also squinted comfortably, looking completely relaxed.

"Waaah... This is the real Tia~~ The real Tia really knows what I like~~"

"I'm going to kill you!"

Tia became even more shy, and immediately sat up and grabbed Valensa's cheeks, pulling them apart:

"And what the hell is 'True Tia'? Did you create a fake Tia instead?"

"Don't worry, you're all I need, Tia~~"

Valensa quickly smiled ingratiatingly before beginning to recount what had happened:

"Well, a friend just came to see me, and she dressed up as you to play a prank on me, but that's not the point. The point is..."

"What? You're saying there are revelers planning to cause trouble at the Nora Chamber of Commerce's Thanksgiving Festival? Or is it that Gray Rat who committed the Griman massacre?"

Tia immediately lost her playful mood and became very serious:

"Is the information from your friend... reliable?"

"reliable."

Valensa nodded confidently, then hesitated slightly:

“I told you this because I trust you, Tia… My friend is one of the revelers, and he happens to be Gray Rat’s mortal enemy.”

"You actually have revelers as friends?"

Tia was even more surprised, and a little annoyed, she tugged at Valensa's ear:

"You know what kind of people revelers are, right? Making friends with them... do you want to go astray or do you think prison food is so appealing?"

"Uh... not all revelers are completely wicked, right?"

Valensa cautiously defended her cheaper senior sister:

"At least my friend has never hurt anyone, and the big things he's done are just pranks."

"A reveler who has never harmed anyone... likes to play pranks... and has even had contact with you..."

Tia narrowed her eyes and immediately guessed the identity of the friend Valensa was referring to:

"You must be talking about the Phantom Thief Red Fox Mask, right? There are rumors that she was active in the small eastern border town of Klar not long ago... Is that when you met her?"

"Hehe, as expected, nothing can be hidden from Tia."

Valensa made a gesture of adoration with her eyes full of stars, and then simply explained:

“At the time, I admired one of her skills, and she happened to be in some trouble, so I learned a skill from her in exchange for helping her… This skill is very useful; without it, I probably would have had a hard time even passing the first hurdle of the admissions process.”

"That's it..."

Tia's expression softened slightly:

"If it's that phantom thief, it shouldn't be a big problem... She's probably the most harmless person among the revelers... But you'd better be careful when using her abilities in the future, or it might be troublesome if some people mistake you for the phantom thief."

"Don't worry about Tia."

Valensa smiled confidently:

"Our methods and approaches to using our abilities are very different, and no one would notice."

"That is not bad."

Tia breathed a sigh of relief and continued the conversation about the gray rat:

“However, this means it’s true that the Gray Rat Gang is causing trouble at the Nora Merchant Guild’s Thanksgiving Festival… This is something that the two of us can’t handle anymore, so I have to tell Father.”

"Yes, that's why I told you Tia right away."

Valensa nodded:

"I hope the kingdom will take this intelligence seriously and make preparations to prevent disaster... but my current status is not enough, so I can only ask you, Tia, for help."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Tia nodded confidently:

"I will convince my father to believe me, and if necessary, I will even meet with His Majesty the King... However, the power of the kingdom's government alone may not be enough to stop the revelers. Your phantom thief friend once stole Her Highness the Queen's birthday present."

Therefore, it would be best if other major powers could also provide assistance, such as the Church of the Sun…”

"Leave the church to me. I'll tell Sister Rika about this."

Valensa quickly took over the conversation:

"It is the responsibility and duty of a paladin to combat the revelers and protect the believers. The church will certainly not stand idly by while the Grey Rats are gone. I can also inform the Nora Merchant Guild... I just met Miss Yashiro today and even became friends with her."

"...You make friends with girls really fast!"

Tia squinted and snorted, but she knew this wasn't the time to be jealous. After a moment's thought, she said in a deep voice:

"If the French government, the Church of the Sun, and the Nora Chamber of Commerce are all prepared, then no matter how capable Gray Rat is, he should not be able to return."

But the madness and strangeness of the revelers should not be underestimated. The more cards you have and the better you are prepared... I plan to contact my teacher and ask her for some powerful magic cards to protect me.

Valencia, if you have any secret tricks up your sleeve, you'd better prepare them in advance.

“Yes, I know… so there’s one more thing I need Tia’s help with.”

Valensa nodded:

"I want you to help me purchase some special grains... I want to brew a kind of wine, and then use this wine to invite a certain great drunkard as a final guarantee... He should be the strongest in our Fran."

"A big drunkard..."

After a moment's thought, Tia gave a strange look:

"You're not talking about the headmaster, are you? Indeed... if he were to intervene, those mere gray rats wouldn't be able to cause any trouble, and we wouldn't have anything to fear."

Chapter 120 A Grand Funeral

The "big drunkard" Valensa was referring to was, of course, the bald-headed headmaster.

The bald-headed principal may seem a bit goofy, but his strength is undeniable. He is a veteran powerhouse who has been at the Moon-level for hundreds of years and has defeated powerful enemies for Fran countless times.

However, like many powerful figures, the bald man has a bad habit. To put it nicely, as a top-level expert, he disdains bullying juniors; to put it bluntly, he is lazy and arrogant.

The bald man might not care about a gray rat, and besides, he's several hundred years old and has probably seen many lively scenes like the Thanksgiving Festival, so he probably won't participate.

That's why Valencia thought of getting some special wine to lure the bald man to the thanksgiving ceremony.

Last time, Valensa sent two bottles of Cyberpunk World liquor to the bald man and asked him for a favor. The bald man readily agreed, and Valensa took the matter to heart.

In order to have someone to rely on if she encounters trouble again, Valensa has been learning about the wines of the Kingdom of Fran these days.

There are many kinds of alcohol in this world, but most of them are distilled spirits like whiskey or brandy. There are also many fruit wines made from fermented fruit, but there has never been a sauce-flavored liquor.

A powerful figure like Big Baldy, who has lived for hundreds of years, must have tasted all kinds of fine wines. The best way to whet his appetite is, of course, to use wines he has never tasted before.

Valensa has some knowledge of the brewing process of Maotai-flavor liquor. She even tried brewing it a few times with her family in her previous life. She should be able to fool people who have never drunk Maotai-flavor liquor before without much trouble.

However, the brewing of Maotai-flavor liquor generally takes time, and normally more than half a month may not be enough.

Fortunately, this world has magic, and there are many special grains that can be transformed by magic, so Valensa still intends to give it a try.

Tia naturally wouldn't refuse Valensa's request for help. She owned a winery and a tavern, so providing Valensa with ample raw materials and tools for winemaking was a piece of cake.

After discussing business, Valensa spent some time playing around with Tia in her dorm before returning to her own dorm.

The next day, the two top students from the first-year elite and command departments took leave together. Tia went home and told her father about the gray rat, while Valensa went to the church and Yashiro's place respectively.

The church was doing well; with Rika there, the information Valensa provided was quickly taken seriously, and preparations began for security on the day of the Thanksgiving.

The situation wasn't so ideal for Yashiro... because Valensa couldn't explain the source of the information, so Yashiro was somewhat skeptical.

Fortunately, out of gratitude to her new friend for coming all the way to remind her, Yashiro agreed and said she would strengthen security for the Thanksgiving Festival, but Valensa was unsure how effective it would be.

Valensa could only follow her own plan, trying to brew Maotai-flavor liquor in her spare time while waiting for the end of the month to arrive.

Two days passed in a flash. It was another day off, but many teachers and students did not go to the capital to play as usual. Instead, they stayed to participate in a group activity.

Dr. Karen's funeral.

After several days of overtime work by the paladins, the place where Karen studied necromancy has been cleaned up and is now just a pure graveyard.

The college decided to bury Dr. Karen there as well, so that the couple could be reunited in the afterlife... although neither of them actually died.

Valensa was, of course, to attend the funeral, and not only that, she was to deliver a eulogy as the chief student.

Out of some kind of wicked sense of humor, Valensa even invited Lily of the Valley to attend her own funeral, and Lily of the Valley actually agreed.

The first half of the funeral went smoothly; both the school leaders' and the top student's speeches portrayed Karen as a highly skilled doctor and a brave warrior.

Valensa even used a bit of her inner power to make herself tear up during her speech, seemingly deeply moved by Dr. Karen's fearless spirit in fighting the cultists. This resonated with many teachers and students, making them even more convinced that she was a noble and kind female knight.

Only a few people who knew the truth were suppressing their laughter until their stomachs ached. As for Suzuran, who was involved, she gritted her teeth in a corner, cursing Valensa for being shameless.

After the entire process is completed, the next step is the free time for mourning. Relatives and friends who are close to the deceased will take turns offering flowers at the grave and saying words of condolence.

At first, things were pretty normal. After all, the infirmary at the War Academy was always deserted, and Karen didn't have many friends at the school. Most people would just offer flowers, bow, and leave.

Until the carnivorous female teacher, Edwina, appeared.

She and Karen were not only colleagues at school, but also old comrades-in-arms who had ventured deep into the desolate lands together, and she knew the truth that Karen was actually alive.

But women are born drama queens, and Edwina was quite the actress. She even sat down in front of Karen's tombstone with two bottles of wine, poured one bottle on the ground, and drank the other by herself.

"My dear Karen, how could you die like this?"
