The story of the black silk female knight

The young boy is a veteran contestant who participated in the previous two competitions. His profession is thief, and he especially likes to use his dagger to slash the female contestants' clothes and play the "clothes-tearing game" on the spot.

The organizers clearly chose this duel because of Valensa's looks, hoping she would give the audience a humiliating defeat or a Pyrrhic victory as a female knight.

But Valencia wasn't going to let the organizers get away with it. She frantically stacked buffs during the preparation phase, and then, as soon as the match started, she used power and speed far exceeding that of a normal lighthouse-level fighter to beat the little boy half to death.

Although I was quickly disqualified by the duel barrier for violating the rules, I was still in a good mood.

"Aren't you going a bit too far?"

In a private dining room at the most luxurious hotel in Gangdia, the "Gulf Beauty," Yashilo casually ate the grapes that Lanzhi fed him while complaining to Valensa:

"I know you're not happy with the opponent the organizers arranged, but was it really necessary to go so far as to almost kill them?"

"He won't die. Don't forget I'm a paladin. I'll keep him alive."

Valensa, unfazed, poked a live lobster on the table with her fork, which was still waving its claws at her, while waiting for the mushroom soup pot in front of her to boil.

"Generally speaking, I'm quite gentle. I can even smile politely at people I dislike... But that guy really crossed my line. He's the kind of shameless, vulgar, and obscene man with a bratty kid face. I've already shown considerable patience by not twisting his head off and throwing it into the sea."

"Oh? So you really dislike this type of man?"

Yashilo raised an eyebrow, took another bite of the tripe that Lanzhi had just cooked, and then smiled:

"Actually, that guy is quite famous among duelists... The scene of a mischievous little boy bullying a pretty older sister until she cries is quite popular with the audience. So every time he has a match, the ticket revenue is quite good."

"Hmph, they're definitely not serious viewers... They wasted their money this time!"

Valensa pursed her lips, and seeing that the mushroom soup pot in front of her had finally started to boil, she used a fork to pierce the lobster that was still waving its claws at her in a show of defiance, and threw it into the mushroom soup pot.

The lobster was unwilling to be eaten by humans like this. Even though it had been pierced by a fork, it still struggled to swing its claws and forcefully pinch Valensa's fingers that were holding the fork.

Unfortunately, her resistance was doomed to failure. Valensa's delicate white fingers were unharmed, and she even casually broke off the lobster's claw that was holding her, put it directly into her mouth, and chewed it up.

"...Tsk, every time I see you eating, I'm so envious of your mouth and appetite."

Yashilo watched with a smile as Valensa finished eating the shrimp claws, sighed, and then laughed:

"However, you're wrong about the audience wasting their money, completely wrong... Those viewers weren't disappointed at not being able to see the little boy bully the older sister; on the contrary, they were very satisfied... because the violent older sister beating up the bad boy was quite exciting for them too."

It's a pity you used more force than allowed in the competition. If you had beaten your opponent as badly as you could within the rules, you would have become a legend.

"Then forget it... The broken rules of dueling are too troublesome for me."

Valensa waved her hand, seeing that the lobster in her pot still needed to cook for a while, so she took a piece of bird meat from Tia's pot next to her and ate it.

Tia, whose food was snatched away because her fork was a step too slow, rolled her eyes.

"I think you don't find the rules of the dueling competition troublesome, but rather that man is annoying, right? If your opponent this time were a beautiful girl, you would definitely have the patience to fight a good match."

"hey-hey."

Valensa simply smiled and didn't refute Tia's merciless exposure, and then snatched several pieces of cooked bird meat from Tia's pot.

"That depends on whether the organizers can react in time and arrange a beautiful female duelist as your opponent in the next competition."

Yashilo shrugged, took another bite of the shrimp ball Lanzhi fed him, and asked curiously:

"According to the schedule, your next match is in five days, and the location is still in Gangdia. What are your plans for the next few days? Lanzhi and I are planning to go to Arant, would you like to come along?"

"No, we have other things to do."

When Valensa answered, she saw that the lobster in the pot in front of her was ready to eat, so she used a knife to cut open the shell, picked up the lobster meat with a fork, and fed it to Tia next to her.

"What is it? Didn't you come to America this time just to help Her Highness the Princess?"

Yashilo raised an eyebrow curiously and swallowed another bird egg that Lanzhi had fed him.

“Helping Elsers is indeed one of the reasons we came to America, but we also have other things to do... Besides, there’s no rush with Elsers. We can wait until the Icefield Hunt begins. Going there now would just mean being dragged along on blind dates with her, which would be too painful.”

Valensa smiled and fed Tia several more bites of shrimp, two of which she fed her mouth-to-mouth.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Tia and I will be mining in the mountains of America for the next few days. Would you like to come along?"

"Mining?"

Yashilo's expression immediately turned to disgust:

"It sounds dirty and tiring, so let's forget about it. I'd rather take Lanzhi to Alante to watch Princess go on a blind date; that would be more interesting."

"Coo-choo... Alright then."

After sharing a piece of shrimp with both of them, Valensa and Tia raised their crystal goblets of red wine and clinked them together with Yashiro and Lanzhi's glasses in turn.

Have a great time in Arante, see you in five days.

"Well, I also wish you find the ore you're looking for. See you in five days."

. . . . .

Valensa was no joke about taking Tia to the mountains to mine.

America is indeed a country rich in mineral resources. Not long after Valensa made the request to Grandma Palan, people began to come to the Church of the Sun, saying that they had found the mineral she was looking for.

In particular, although one of them failed to bring back any ore samples, he recorded several images of the ore using an image crystal. The asphalt-colored stone in the images looked very much like uranium ore, which filled Valensa with hope for this mining trip.

So the day after their first match, Valensa and Tia set off, hiring a former foreman who had lost everything in a mining accident as their guide in the Gangdia slums.

Unfortunately, as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Valensa and Tia spent three days visiting several mining areas in America and saw more than ten kinds of radioactive natural minerals, but none of them were suitable as nuclear fuel.

Including the pitch-colored ore that resembles uranium ore, all the radioactive minerals in this world have become less stable due to the influence of magical elements... At the very least, with the technology of a technologically advanced nuclear reactor, they cannot operate stably and may suddenly explode at any time.

Friggia didn't have any good solutions in this regard either... Nuclear energy was far too backward for the Eve civilization at its peak. She didn't pay much attention to it back then, and now she has lost her pseudo-omniscience ability.

Valensa was quite disappointed after going there full of enthusiasm but returning disappointed, so much so that she posted a rant on the community system of her Dimensional Hardware Store.

[The serious female knight: My world has plenty of radioactive minerals, but not a single one can be used as stable nuclear fuel... It's so frustrating, I want to cry.]

Asakura Mai, who clearly has a high-intensity online surfing habit, replied almost immediately.

[The invincible high school girl: Huh? Sasa-nee wants nuclear fuel? Why didn't you ask me?]

[The serious female knight: Huh?]

Chapters 49-51: She's only a freshman in high school!

*Slap!* Valensa slapped her leg.

Looking at the chat history in the community function on the Dimensional Hardware Store member terminal, Valensa had a sudden realization and a feeling of 'How could I be so stupid?'

I completely forgot about the world of Asakura Mai!

Unlike Vi's cyberpunk world, which suffered from nuclear war and was therefore under strict nuclear control, Asakura Mai's world, apart from having supernatural powers, is similar to the world she transmigrated to, and is in an era where nuclear energy is widely used.

Many countries have built multiple nuclear power plants, and major powers have arsenals full of nuclear bombs. Nuclear materials can even be bought on the black market using cryptocurrency!

Is it much more convenient to get ready-made nuclear fuel rods there than to explore, mine, and refine them yourself?

Valensa quickly replied in the status update.

[Serious Female Knight: My dear Dancing Sister, do you have nuclear fuel? Please sell some to me, a resident of this technological wasteland, I urgently need it.]

[Invincible high school girl: Sasha-neechan, what's our relationship? Why are you being so distant? If you want nuclear fuel, Sasha-neechan, just come and get it. You can have as much as you want.]

[The serious female knight: ?? Is there really such a good thing? So, Sister Wu, your family has such a high status in Japan? You can just give away precious nuclear fuel like that?]

[Invincible high school girl: Huh? How could that be? My family in Japan runs a shrine that exorcises demons and monsters, where would we get nuclear fuel... The nuclear fuel I'm giving you, Sasha, isn't Japanese nuclear fuel, you know.]

[The Invincible High School Girl: Although I was from China in my past life, I grew up in this island nation and have some feelings for it, considering it my second home... Electricity prices in Tokyo are already very high, I can't give you the nuclear fuel from the nuclear power plant anymore.]

[The serious female knight: Huh?]

[The Serious Female Knight: So, Sister Wu, the nuclear fuel you're giving me, is it from the US? Are you going to raid a US nuclear power plant or nuclear arsenal?]

[Invincible High School Girl: Yeah... oh, no. Whether it's our past life or this world, the United States is the biggest robber on Earth. How can robbing a robber be considered robbery? It should be considered acting on behalf of God and upholding justice.]

[Invincible High School Girl: But it's not me going to rob them, it's you, Sasha. I can't directly take action against the US.]

[The Serious Female Knight: Oh? Could it be that you, Sister Wu, are on some special list of certain intelligence agencies in the United States?]

[Invincible High School Girl: Pretty much. My witch magic is still quite obvious to those special intelligence agencies. If I were to use it, my identity would inevitably be exposed, which could potentially cause all sorts of diplomatic disputes. So, Sasha, you'll have to take the nuclear fuel from the US yourself... I'll make time to go to the US in the next few days and summon you near a nuclear power plant or nuclear arsenal. Then, Sasha, you can take whatever you want.]

[The Serious Female Knight: That's fine too... Then, Sister Wu, just find a US military nuclear arsenal nearby and summon me. Nuclear power plants are civilian facilities after all, and I'm a kind-hearted paladin; I don't want to affect the electricity supply to ordinary residents. But I don't feel guilty about taking things from the US military, and besides, the enriched uranium in those nuclear bombs is of even higher quality.]

[Invincible High School Girl: Okay... but if I choose a nuclear arsenal as my target, I might not be able to get too close, otherwise I'll get suspicious. Is a distance of about 30-50 kilometers okay?]

[Serious Female Knight: Sure, even further is fine, as long as you can provide me with accurate navigation after I get there, distance is no problem! You know, your sister Sasha can now cosplay as the Flash.]

[Invincible High School Girl: Okay, it's settled then. I'll go check out the flights from Tokyo to the US for the next couple of days. I'll contact you again once I find a place, Sasha-neechan.]

[The proper female knight: Okay, it's settled then.]

"Hu~~"

After ending her communication with Mai Asakura, Valensa let out a long sigh of relief and hugged Tia, who was looking over curiously, and kissed her.

"...What's wrong? Why are you so excited all of a sudden?"

Tia seemed to be used to Valensa's behavior and did not resist, only asking a question out of curiosity.

"Hehe, the nuclear fuel issue is settled... If everything goes smoothly, the reactor at Sister Friedia's place will be ready to use in a few days. But then you'll need Tia to use your teleportation spell to get us to the underground ruins... Ah, speaking of which, Tia, your teleportation spell can also be used in America, right? Won't the increased distance make it more of a burden for you?" Valensa asked with a smile and concern.

However, this only earned her a cold shoulder from Tia.

"Why have you become an idiot again? Don't you even think about the map before you speak?"

Tia playfully pinched Valensa:

"The Wasteland is in the central part of the continent, the capital of Fran is at the southernmost point of the continent, and Gangia is at the southernmost point of the northern part of the continent... In other words, the distance from here to the underground ruins is actually closer than that of the capital of Fran... I can teleport in the capital of Fran, so of course I can do it here too!"

"……snort."

Realizing her mistake, Valensa became somewhat embarrassed and angry, immediately pinning Tia down and reaching inside Tia's clothes to tickle her.

"People are showing concern for you, and you're laughing at me! I'll scratch you!"

"Who's afraid of who... I'll scratch you too!"

Tia immediately retaliated, playfully wrestling with Valensa until both of them were soon disheveled.

"Wait...wait a minute...Wu-meimei has sent another message."

Just as this playful fighting was getting out of hand and was about to turn into another kind of fairy fight, Valensa suddenly grabbed Tia's hand and clamped Tia's feet between her legs.

"……snort."

Tia seemed a little resentful, but she didn't make any more moves.

Valensa hugged Tia comfortingly and kissed her again before opening the Dimensional Hardware Store's member terminal to check Asakura Mai's new messages.

[Invincible High School Girl: Oh, right, Sasha, I just remembered something else. If you want to get your hands on the nuclear weapons in the US military's arsenal, you'd better prepare for battle.]

[The Invincible High School Girl: Your opponents aren't those American soldiers... My world is similar to my previous one, but extraordinary powers exist within it.]

[The Invincible High School Girl: Just like the shrine maidens of my family's shrine in Japan and the Taoist priests who cultivate immortality in China, the United States and Europe in my world have demon hunters.]

The Witcher?

Valensa raised an eyebrow curiously and replied with a comment.

[A serious female knight: A witcher? Which kind of witcher? The kind from Diablo 3?]

[Invincible high school girl: No... it's more like the kind in The Witcher 3.]

[The Serious Female Knight: Oh? The kind of weakling who'd die if he jumped from the second or third floor? What's there to worry about then?]

[Invincible High School Girl: Hahaha... Sister Sasha, you're right. Those witchers who can die from jumping from the second or third floor are indeed weak, but you really shouldn't be careless.]

[The Invincible High School Girl: While most demon hunters are just modern hunters using salt-guns and holy water crossbows for exorcism, there are also very powerful superhumans... One of them has a very good relationship with the US military. If you, Sasha, were to raid the US nuclear arsenal, you'd most likely encounter her.]

[The serious female knight: Oh? Sister Wu, do you know that witcher?]

[Invincible High School Girl: Hmm, I've worked with her once... How should I put it? You've probably heard of the mutant movies and comics, right, Sasha? Her abilities are very similar to the combined abilities of the three main mutant characters... Wolverine, Cyclops, and Jean Grey.]

[The Serious Female Knight: Wolverine and Cyclops are fine, but Jean? That person you're talking about doesn't necessarily have the Phoenix Force, does he? I can't afford to mess with him.]

[The Invincible High School Girl: Of course not the Phoenix Harp, but the one that uses mental powers, though it's still very strong... Plus, with abilities similar to Wolverine and Cyclops, she's practically the US military's ace. I've worked with her once before; I'm slightly better at exorcising demons, but in a fight, I'm no match for her.]

[The serious female knight: Oh, I see... Hmm, I understand. Thank you for reminding me, Sister Wu. I'll prepare accordingly.]

[Invincible high school girl: Hehe... We're practically family, Sasha-neechan! Just take me to your place next time! Of course, it would be even better if Sasha-neechan would wear a nun's habit and give me a black stocking lap pillow.]

Just then, Wei, whether she had been lurking or had just seen the post, suddenly left a reply.

[Company Boss's Wife: A black-stockinged nun's lap pillow? Tsk tsk tsk... Sister Wu knows how to have fun, but unfortunately, your Sister Sasha, although great, only sells her art, not her body. The most you can get from her is a lap pillow, but if you go to her place called Pink Rose... hehe.]

[Serious Female Knight: Shut up! Wei! Wu is only a freshman in high school! How could you teach her to love pink roses?]
