The story of the black silk female knight

After boasting about her great achievements, when it came to receiving rewards, Valensa hesitated for a moment and still didn't mention the Inner Temple Knights and her own evil god mother.

Valensa trusted Tia completely, but there was also a Thousand-Leaf Grass in the house.

Valensa didn't have any ill feelings towards Chiba Herbal Man... Although this little brat was very difficult to deal with most of the time, she wasn't a bad person at heart.

However, Chiba is, after all, a member of the Four Islands Alliance, and many things about Valensa are top secret. It's better for everyone not to let Chiba know.

Valensa only mentioned that she had been promoted at the church and received a reward from His Majesty the King; she planned to tell Tia the rest when they were truly alone together.

Having finished telling the story and expressing her longing, what follows is naturally the girl's nocturne.

Red and blue nightgowns, black and white stockings, brown and silver hair quickly intertwined and began to dance, making the night breeze and moonlight outside the window even more enchanting.

Chapter 28 You're really good at bullying people!

Girls' night dance music is always varied in style.

Sometimes it's a perfectly coordinated dance, sometimes it's a fierce dance battle, and sometimes it's a dance drama where each dancer plays a different role.

However, regardless of the dance style, the female knight seemed exceptionally vulnerable tonight, always quickly surrendering to Tia's onslaught, her words defiant but her body frantically begging for mercy.

Tia was a little curious, but didn't think much of it, assuming Valensa was just trying different ways to have fun.

But the truth is, there was a gaze that was constantly watching this dance with excitement, and it was this gaze that greatly reduced Valensa's defenses.

Being watched while dancing at night is extremely shameful, but this shame also brings a strange kind of pleasure, which is why Valensa was completely overwhelmed by Tia's advances.

Moreover, whenever Tia focuses on attacking a key defensive area, Valensa is also subjected to a surprise attack by a surprise force.

And this sneak attack must not be known to Tia. No matter how much damage she suffers in the attack, Valensa must pretend that she is not affected, which results in even lower defense.

Fortunately, although Valencia's defenses have been greatly weakened, her strategic depth remains unfathomable.

Even though Tia relentlessly attacked and conquered territories, and even though her surprise attacks always chose the most opportune moment and target, she eventually collapsed from exhaustion due to the excessive force she had invested.

The female knight was the one who tasted the fruits of victory.

. . . . .

The next day, Tia woke up very early.

She came straight to see Valensa after returning from the Tower of Philosophers yesterday. She still has a series of trivial matters to deal with, including family, business, and school matters. She will be very busy today.

Valensa also wanted to test the suspicious Diamond-level member of the Gourmet Association, just as she and Fran had agreed yesterday.

So Valensa and Tia helped each other with their morning washing and dressing, had a simple breakfast together at the school cafeteria, and then went their separate ways.

Shortly after Tia left, the light and air around Valensa distorted slightly, and a petite green-haired girl wearing a mesh bodysuit and white tabi socks appeared and hugged Valensa's arm.

"Big sister~~ Big sister~~ Cao Cao did a great job last night, didn't she? If I hadn't woken up in time to clean up the evidence, Tia would have found out about your affair with Cao Cao~~"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Valensa immediately corrected her:

"What do you mean I cheated on you? That was just a punishment game. I've always been very loyal to Tia!"

"Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh?"

Thousand-Leaf Grass immediately put on a wronged expression, clinging to Valensa's arm and shaking it back and forth:

"My older sister took away all of Cao Cao's most important things... but she just treated it as a game?"

"What else do you think?"

Valensa remained unmoved and refused to budge:

"In the end, isn't this your own fault? When you decided to attack me with a potent aphrodisiac, you should have been prepared for that, right?"

Or perhaps... Cao Cao, you've actually been secretly in love with me all along, constantly provoking me in various ways just to get my attention. And yesterday's Spring Poison attack was your way of preparing to sacrifice yourself?

"you……"

Chiba's face immediately turned bright red, whether from embarrassment or anger, it was hard to tell.

"You're just a lowly little sister, don't go too far!"

She forcefully flung Valensa's arm away, and Thousand Leaf Grass jumped back several steps, making faces all over her face:

"Cao Cao was just teasing you. You didn't actually think Cao Cao liked you, did you? Little Fish Sister fell for it... Idiot, pighead, fool! Hehehe..."

"You think you can charm me, you little fish sister? You're still a long way off, hmph!"

"Mmm, I know... Cao Cao, you don't like me at all, you just want to defeat me and bully me, right?"

Valensa nodded, amused.

"Then you'll have to work hard at your cultivation, Cao Cao. At least you should break through to the Lighthouse level as soon as possible, right?"

"Hmph, Cao Cao knows without you even having to tell her!"

The thousand-leaf grass, with its little pouty mouth, is the kind that can hold half a pot of oil or a pound of meat:

"I'm off to train now. I'll definitely defeat you, you little brat, next time!"

"Okay, then good luck."

Valensa waved to the Thousand Leaf Grass again, then turned and left.

However, Valensa frowned slightly again after walking a short distance.

She sighed helplessly, and with a swift movement of her left hand, she grabbed a small foot from inside a tabi sock, pulling the demon ninja girl out of hiding:

"Weren't you supposed to be training hard to defeat me? What are you doing secretly following me?"

"Who...who's been secretly following you?"

Thousand-leaf grass struggled a few times but couldn't pull her foot back, and said angrily:

"Cao Cao was just cultivating, and it just happened to be going the same way as you, Big Sister... A nobody? Big Sister, don't flatter yourself!"

"...Is that so?"

Valensa raised an eyebrow, not calling out Thousand-Leaf Grass's insincerity, and released her foot:

"Alright then, you can continue your cultivation."

"Big sister, you... Humph!"

Chiba glared at Valensa angrily, but without saying anything, she activated the Leaf Concealment Technique again and disappeared on the spot.

Valensa continued walking forward without saying a word.

She sighed again only after reaching the main gate of the War Academy:

"So what? You're going the same way as me? I'm about to leave the academy, you're not going to be going the same way to the outside of the academy, are you?"

"Well...it's not entirely impossible!"

Before Valensa could even catch it, the thousand-leaf clover pouted and offered itself up:

"Anyway, school hasn't officially started yet, so it's perfectly normal for me to train outside the academy on my own, right?"

"Alright, stop pretending to be arrogant."

As Valensa spoke, she reached out and grabbed at the thousand-leaf clover once again.

Thousand Leaf Grass's eyes flickered, seemingly trying to dodge, but in reality, she was completely offering herself up. Valensa grabbed her in an instant and pressed her down on her slightly bent legs.

Clap clap clap!

He slapped her several times.

"Tell me the truth, Cao Cao, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Hmm?~~"

Thousand-leaf grass made a comfortable sound, and its emerald eyes became content:

"Actually, it's nothing. I was just curious about what my older sister was going to do today... I didn't mean to record the scene of you having an affair with another woman to tell Tia, nor did I have any intention of helping you, absolutely not!"

"Oh, so Cao Cao wanted to help me."

Valensa interpreted the meaning of the thousand-leaf clover, then pondered for a moment:

"Actually, Cao Cao, you can really help with the investigation I'm about to conduct... Want to come along?"

"I already told you, I don't want to help you, big sister! You're such a narcissistic nobody!"

The thousand-leaf grass struggled and cried out.

"Ah."

Valensa chuckled and released the thousand-leaf clover.

"what?"

The expected slap didn't land, causing Thousand Leaf Grass to shift its body somewhat lonely, its gaze towards Valensa filled with resentment:

"Big sister, you really know how to bully people... Hmph, since you admit that you're just a nobody who can't do anything without Caocao, then Caocao will help you out."

Chapter 29 Testing

The capital of France, in the western part of the city, a wealthy residential area.

Outside a six-story luxury apartment building, Valensa straightened her clothes, looked at the gift she had just bought on the street, and mentally reviewed the lines she would need to use later before entering the apartment.

Reaching the sixth floor, Valensa found a door according to the information provided and took a deep breath.

Fran had already told Valensa the preliminary findings of the investigation during their previous meeting.

The culinary association diamond-level member who lured the bald man away with fine wine and the imposter Susan never appeared in public together.

In other words, Valensa was most likely right—the person behind the door in front of her was very likely the infamous Reveler, the Sinful Angel.

Before coming, Valensa had used her inner paladin's intelligence privileges to check all the information about the Sin Angels in the church's database, wanting to understand the Sin Angels' abilities in advance and be prepared.

However, after checking, she discovered that although the Sin Angel had clashed with the church many times, he always ran away after just one encounter and had never actually fought.

It's normal for the Sin Angel to run away when faced with an entire squad of paladins led by a Star-level warrior. But even when faced with two patrolling paladins who were only Pearl-level warriors, the Sin Angel still turned and ran, refusing to linger in battle.

The patrolling Pearl-level Paladins certainly couldn't capture the Sinful Angel, but even the fully armed Star-level Paladin captain, accompanied by many Lighthouse-level support units, couldn't capture her.

The Sin Angel's strength is definitely above the Star-level, and he has never revealed his fighting style.

This unknown enemy is the most terrifying.

Valensa couldn't help but be nervous.

Fortunately, the church took Valensa's discovery and safety very seriously. This time, not only Fran and Rika were nearby to support her, but also Shira, who had returned to her tentacle princess form.

Our combat strength is already sufficient; there's nothing to be afraid of.

dong dong dong.

With that thought in mind, Valensa knocked on the door.

"Who?"

Soon, a distinctly older male voice came from behind the door.

"Hello, Mr. Kado."

Valensa quickly and politely replied:

“I am Valensa Bader from the War Academy, and also a Gold-level member of the Gourmet Association. I’m here today to ask you something… I’m so sorry I couldn’t make an appointment in advance.”

"..."

The voice behind the door fell silent.

Then footsteps were heard, and with a click, the door opened.

Inside the room was an elderly man with white hair, a slightly overweight build, about half a head taller than Valensa, and with very well-maintained skin.

The old man scrutinized Valensa from head to toe, his smile somewhat strange:

"You're that Valensa... I've heard of you. You were the one that Luffy, that idiot, bet with and lost, so he guaranteed you to become a Gold-level member, right?"

I've also tried the dishes you invented... Although you mostly use low-grade ingredients, they taste really good and are very popular with ordinary people.

"Mr. Kado, you flatter me."

Valensa smiled modestly:
