"It's a little tight..."
MEI walked out of the changing room, rubbing her constricted chest.
"I'm very sorry, it's one size smaller."
Raven, who was walking behind, looked quite gloomy.
"Doctor, would you like to control your nutritional intake?"
"I think I've already passed the growth stage,"
MEI said indifferently, although, to be honest, she had already entertained the idea of losing weight.
After all, there is a younger version of her beside her.
Although her current figure is plumper than Mei's, consequently, in terms of slimness... Although it is only a subtle difference, for girls it exists.
"I can only say it's great to be young."
"But I'm already satisfied to find something I can wear."
MEI tugged at the somewhat tight collar.
"Or rather, Miss Raven, you have more to offer than meets the eye."
"I'll take that as a compliment."
Raven curled the corners of her lips.
Although it was a compliment, she didn't feel happy at all.
What does 'more than meets the eye' mean? Doesn't her usual combat uniform perfectly define her figure?
Although this is not something to brag about, Raven is actually a little proud of it.
This is the only bit of a girl's heart Raven has left.
"Looks like someone got hit."
Rita chuckled.
"It's not really a hit. After all, I don't care too much."
Raven rolled her eyes and looked at Rita.
She signaled the other party not to confuse her with Rita.
"I still like your maid outfit more, but it's also more unpleasant to look at."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Rita replied with a smile.
These two seemed to be making fights a habit.
But then, Raven looked at Rita strangely.
"Is there something on my face, Miss Ciora?"
Perhaps feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by Raven, Rita subconsciously touched her face.
"There's nothing on your face..."
Raven rubbed her chin.
"But then again... isn't your armor just a piece of black silk?"
"Huh?"
Tian Shi unconsciously looked at Rita and immediately nodded.
Rita's Dark Rose Armor can be considered a one-piece black silk armor, except that the arms are not covered in black silk.
The hands are replaced by silk gloves that feel better.
In a sense... maybe it's better than the one-piece black stockings that completely cover the body?
"But the black silk of Dark Rose doesn't tear easily."
Rita gave a reason that Tian Shi could not refute.
"Does mine tear easily?"
Raven frowned.
"This is also the highest quality combat uniform in the world, you know? It even has technology from the previous civilization."
"Don't think the black stockings worn underneath aren't combat uniforms! This is a real combat uniform! Not an erotic suit!"
"I tried it, and it felt fine."
Rita thought for a moment.
"I think your stockings are quite easy to tear off, Miss Ciora."
Rita said that she had already taken Raven's stockings off before, so it didn't matter if they were connected or not, wouldn't they tear if she ripped them?
"You really have to bring that up, don't you? If the Seven Thunders of Retribution hadn't stopped working, who would have tied up whom between us?"
Raven gets angry when she mentions the previous incident.
"And if we really want to talk about this, my black silk is the inner lining, and yours is the outer defense layer. How can they be the same?"
"The topics these two talk about are truly explosive."
Tian Shi sat on MEI's body and watched with great interest.
But then, the topic of their conversation shifted to... MEI.
"By the way, Dr. Mei should be aware of the technology of my combat suit, right?"
"Please don't involve me in this kind of thing, alright?"
Mei frowned.
She was a good girl. At most, she would wear black stockings.
A one-piece black stocking was out of her league, alright?
"Besides, I can't identify what specific technology your suit is related to after seeing it in combat. Besides, Grey Snake's technical level is regular... What about the combat uniform? I can teach you now."
"The combat uniform is very damaged, so I gave it to Jackal and Grey Snake for repairs."
Raven pursed her lips.
Rita had directly damaged the combat uniform, leaving her with one leg without stockings.
What could she do?
"It's okay, the next time I have a chance I'll help you see if I can give you an upgrade."
MEI pushed up her glasses.
"By the way, learn to make one-piece black stockings."
"Doctor Mei, if you have time, please take a look."
Speaking of this topic, Rita also became interested.
Letting a renowned scientist like MEI upgrade her Valkyrie armor is no loss, right?
"Yes, it's just a small issue."
Rita's Valkyrie armor is also worth learning from.
After all, it is a charming maid uniform, not a majestic warrior uniform.
"The costume design and stuff... MEI said they are all minor issues."
"Hey! Are you done scrubbing yet? If you keep getting entertained, why don't you just go straight to dinner?"
Senti's impatient voice came from outside the door.
"Get out quickly, idiot Kiana, your stomach has been rumbling for a while."
"Coming right out!"
Rita replied and then looked at Raven.
"Speaking of which, we need to rent a car this time, Miss Ciora."
"What? Rent a car?"
"Mrs. Ciora, you don't think your four-seater supercar can accommodate everyone, do you?"
"Supercars are not meant to transport people."
Most of them are two-seater supercars, and Raven's four-seater supercar has taken into account the aspects of traveling with children as much as possible based on her own preferences.
Even Raven felt a little wronged: she liked red, but since she couldn't find a satisfactory style, she chose slate grey.
"I never thought that one day I would have the opportunity to take all the children out together, even if it was just to eat out."
Raven sighed softly after realizing what was happening.
"And I never thought I would go out with the children and other people. Tsk, in a way, it's the unpredictable nature of life, isn't it?"
"It seems like this kind of life... seems very peaceful?"
"Let me take that back. This Rita is an absolute monstrosity."
"There is absolutely no sense of calm around her."
"Then how did she get involved with Mr. Tian?"
"She's also Miss Durandal's best friend; I can't understand it at all."
"These days, even a bad person like Rita can find such a confidante, while I was still enduring that idiot Jackal a few weeks ago... God is truly blind."
"I feel like you are insulting me, Miss Ciora?"
"That's your persecution complex."
...
"Good afternoon, Doctor Jackal."
"Miss Durandal? Ah... good afternoon... Achoo!"
Jackal half-raised her mask and was lying weakly at the door of Shencheng Medicine, with a large pile of documents scattered beside her.
If there hadn't been a trace of blood under Jackal, Bianka would have thought the World Serpent biologist had been shot.
"What's wrong with you?"
Bianka knelt down to help Jackal pick up the papers scattered on the floor.
"Nothing... It's just that I didn't sleep all night... Please help me take off my mask. I can't breathe with this on."
"You didn't sleep all night? That's not too bad, I'm relieved."
The honest girl Bianka nodded with relief, then lifted Jackal's mask, revealing a face full of Egyptian style underneath.
"Doctor Jackal, you probably lack practice. In 2015, I fought Rita non-stop for more than thirty days, and I didn't end up like you."
"…"
Jackal suddenly felt that she and Bianka had nothing to talk about... Isn't this girl too honest?
"And speaking of that, after that action, we faced them in England, didn't we?"
"I completed half a month's work in a single night. Dr. Mei is a real overtime addict..."
Jackal struggled to stand up, leaning against the French window of the office building, gasping for air; she looked more like she had been shot.
"If that idiot Raven dares to say that I am indifferent to human life again, I will shoot her... As for indifference to human life, I'm not even worthy of carrying Dr. Mei's shoes... Tonight... Do you know how I spent tonight? I never thought a night could last so long..."
There was no trace of the arrogance in Jackal.
"How can you have the energy to be arrogant when you have to work overtime like this?"
"Umm... how are you?"
Although Bianka was an honest girl, she also knew what it meant to do half a month's work in one night.
That could be fatal...
"Copy data, copy data, copy data... and repeat the experiment, repeat the experiment, repeat the experiment... Can anyone tell me how Dr. Mei can perform three experiments at once? Is she really human? She completed half a month's work in one night... Dr. Mei is anything but a scientist, right?"
Only then did Bianka realize that Jackal's hair was now a mess, and in addition to the sand and dirt that had accumulated from falling to the ground, it was also a little greasy.
But Jackal's complaints did not cease.
"I'm alone! At least give me someone to help! I'm not a superman; I don't think I'll survive this."
"Well... that's really exhausting."
"If I didn't have bad habits and had strengthened myself, I would have called emergencies right now."
Although Jackal is a crazy scientist, her quality is still guaranteed, and the ability to work hard is also a very important quality in a scientist.
"Then, Doctor Jackal, would you like to take a nap?"
"I would like to, but I can't; now every time I close my eyes, I see those parameters and data."
Jackal rubbed her temple.
"Thank God you took Dr. Mei out this morning, otherwise someone would have carried me out of the lab..."
"Have Tian Shi and Dr. Mei gone out?"
Bianka asked thoughtfully.
"Hmm, it seems he brought Rita with him... Who else was there? Grey Snake said it was Raiden Mei, the one who looks so much like Dr. Mei."
Jackal said weakly.
"You can ask Grey Snake where he is exactly, so you don't fall too far behind."
"Too far?"
Bianka tilted her head.
"No, didn't you really react? Achoo!... It must be that Raven scolding me behind my back again."
Jackal muttered: "If I still had the strength, I would humiliate you... Never mind, I suggest you find Grey Snake and act with him. Don't you realize you're completely alone here?"
Jackal now has a bit of the flavor of "When a man is about to die, his words are kind."
"Hmm? The team is still here? And I have work to do later..."
"Don't talk to me about work."
Jackal twisted her lips.
"Forget it. I haven't finished it yet, so why bother you? Can you help me up to the office on the top floor? That's my room; just stick me in the elevator. And don't forget the documents, I spent hours organizing them."
"Oh, no problem."
"Miss Durandal, are you free now?"
Just after sending Jackal away, Bianka was found by Grey Snake... what a coincidence.
"I'm free, Mr. Grey Snake, what can I do for you?"
Bianka asked seriously.
"We just spotted a UFO in Sky City... It looks like a drone, and we don't know who sent it. It's a bit surprising, but could I ask Miss Durandal to take care of it?"
Grey Snake requested very seriously.
"Since Raven isn't here, I can only ask Miss Durandal for help."
"UFO? Well, leave it to me."
Bianka accepted after briefly considering it, without even considering what to do if the UFO was from Schicksal.
Bianka also has a scale in her heart; she can still list the patterns of Rita > Otto, Tian Shi > Otto, Rita + Tian Shi > Otto.
"Please tell me the exact location."
"In District E8, in the old town of Sky City."
"Well, I'll take care of it."
...
"I'm hungry..."
Tesla, who was controlling the drone on the rooftop, silently clutched her stomach.
Mei told her to take care of her own food problem, but... but she didn't have any money!
When they both act together, isn't it clear who is in charge of the money?
After all, Tesla was a workaholic and a spendthrift already in the 1950s.
"Why haven't I saved any money?"
Mei's phone was turned off, so it was impossible to find her.
Besides, it would be inappropriate to keep harassing her while she was on a mission.
"Do I need to ask someone for money?"
"If I go to Nancy and Einstein, they will surely laugh at me, right?"
After all, those two are pretty bad; at most, they are bad in different directions.
"Look for Planck?"
"No... that old woman is a 'class enemy'!"
Tesla silently touched her chest.
"Then... Reanna?"
"Reanna would definitely lend it... but I would definitely get a lecture."
"Isn't this situation a little bad?"
Well, to be honest, Tesla has to admit that she simply cannot decide whether to borrow money.
"Just be patient... at most you'll starve for two meals..."
"Mei, please come back and save the doctor!"
