Rita reached out and took Kika from Ryn's arms. She had already prepared by putting on a bracer, and in the next second, Kika's little canine teeth left a small bite mark on it.
Kika bit down hard on Rita, wriggling constantly, trying to break free. But for Rita, who was a master of lethal arts, handling a little Kika without using Honkai energy was like bullying a Honkai-energy-less Stan—just a disobedient little kitten~
"Mmmph, mmmph—"
Kika's eyes widened in shock. Something was wrong with Rita's hand! She couldn't even move her mouth!!
Rita narrowed her eyes, stroking Kika's head with satisfaction.
Rita had been secretly observing Kika's habit of biting for a long time, watching her daily interactions with Ryn to discover it! And for a little kitty who loves to bite, of course, there should be a little punishment~
After being bitten by that bastard cat Stan one too many times, Rita had specially commissioned a bracer that, once bitten, couldn't be released for a short period.
"Lord Ryn. Rita would also love to hear the stories of Lady Kika's past! See, Lady Kika is also nodding in agreement~
Rita raised her hand, lifting Kika who was forced to hang on by her mouth. The still-struggling Kika did indeed look a bit like she was nodding frantically, didn't she?
"Mmmph, mmmph—" (Rita you ***, I'll *** you)
Kika's eyes looked as if they were about to shoot fire. If looks could kill, she would have torn this black-bellied Rita to shreds by now!
"Uhh..."
Ryn covered his eyes, unable to watch anymore. It was like watching Rita tease a dog.
But his hand seemed to have a mind of its own, reaching out to pinch the little tummy that was exposed as Kika's body was stretched out.
It was fleshy and soft, and felt great to pinch~
But as Ryn was pinching, he felt two other hands...
Durandal guiltily averted her gaze, but her little hand, just like Ryn's, was constantly kneading Kika's little tummy.
Rita, on the other hand, didn't even bother to pretend. With a look of pure satisfaction, she dangled Kika with one hand and pinched her little tummy with the other.
"In exchange for listening to Kika's stories, I can also tell everyone about my childhood~"
After speaking, Rita lowered her head and whispered into Kika's ear, in a voice only Kika could hear:
"This way, Lady Kika will have some leverage on Rita too~ Isn't this a fair trade?"
Because Kika was still in a biting posture, she couldn't speak a single clear word, only making muffled sounds. But even so, Kika had to shout out her true feelings.
"Mmmph, mmmph—" (Rita! Fair my ***)
"Mm-hmm, Lady Kika also thinks it's very fair, right!"
Satisfied with Kika's reaction, Rita nodded and said to Ryn:
"Lady Kika is also very interested in my story! In exchange, please, Lord Ryn, tell us about Lady Kika first~
"Ryn and Durandal exchanged a look, then both sighed helplessly.
It's not like they were going to tell stories about little Theresa, so why was Rita so insistent... Although Kika was also a little loli, her attire made her look more like a cool beauty, right?
Though her figure was that of a delicate little loli, her dress and aura were that of a cool and fashionable beauty. But the moment Kika opened her mouth, all of the above became null and void.
You could immediately slap the labels of sharp-tongued, black-bellied, tsundere, lazy, and annoying little brat on Kika's head.
Ryn began to recall past events related to Kika from his memories.
Forget the embarrassing and amusing stories Rita and Durandal wanted to hear; Kika wouldn't agree. He'd just tell some normal stories that Kika couldn't deny.
Then Ryn organized his thoughts and began to speak.
"Where should I start the story? I'll tell you what I know!
Our dear Kika, back when she was still in school, always had this listless, dead-fish-eyed look on her face, like she desired nothing. As a result, she had no friends, which led to a very withdrawn personality.
In the end, due to her lack of social interaction and being spoiled as the young lady of the Mushoku family, she developed a bit of a sharp tongue."
"We can definitely relate to that... Kika still maintains a state of isolating most of Schicksal..."
Durandal sighed helplessly. Because she often went on missions with Kika, she understood her to some extent.
It was one thing for her not to greet people or even look them in the eye, but why did she bring a flying, fully automated lazy sofa on missions, to the point where she couldn't even be bothered to walk!
How could someone be so indulgent! So lazy!
As Durandal thought this, she kneaded Kika's little tummy with envy, jealousy, and hate.
"Yes, Rita has also deeply experienced Lady Kika's sharp tongue... At first, I thought she was just being blunt, but later I realized it was all just cold sarcasm... hahaha..."
Rita laughed awkwardly. She often tried to get close to the adorable Kika, but almost every time, she was relentlessly chased away by Kika's ceaseless sharp tongue.
"Hahaha..."
Seeing that everyone had fallen victim, Ryn chuckled and pinched Kika's little face, then lifted her from Rita's hand.
"That's enough playing around. Kika isn't a real cat or dog. If she hangs there too long, she might dislocate her jaw or her teeth will get sore, and that wouldn't be good."
Rita sighed with regret. It seemed she couldn't continue to bully Kika a little more to vent the resentment she had built up from being scolded for a year and a half.
She gently touched her custom-made bracer, feeling the cracks that had spiderwebbed across it, then took it off and put it away, deciding never to use it again.
After all, Rita couldn't guarantee whether the next thing to crack would be her bracer, or herself.
Being held in Ryn's arms, watching him stand up for her and get a little revenge on Rita.
What could be more sad and hurtful than being bullied? It's being bullied in front of someone you care about, and he does nothing.
And what is the most fortunate and happy thing? It's when you're being bullied, at your most helpless moment, the person you care about the most steps in to help you.
Kika was like a bullied child who suddenly received help. A great sense of grievance and the most wonderful happiness in the world surged from her heart all at once.
Tears welled up in Kika's eyes, and the grievance of being bullied by Rita erupted at this moment.
The more Kika tried not to cry, the more her body couldn't control its sobs.
"Bas... (sob)... bastard! All you know is how to bul... (sob)... bully me!"
Kika was both angry and annoyed. Angry at Ryn for watching her get bullied, and annoyed at herself for being so helpless. In the end, she could only bite down on Ryn's shoulder and punch him with her fists.
"My fault, my fault. From now on, as long as I'm here, I'll never let anyone bully you again, not even a little."
"Then... (sob)... what about Mei?! You... (sob)... can't let Mei bully me either!"
"Abba abba..."
"Bastard, you just said it and you're already going back on your word!"
