"Wait… If things went normally, I'd need to pat Sirin's head for four or five days to win her over and get her to come home with me. But in this current state, can I try to speed things up?"
To win Sirin over, the first step must be patting her head.
And it needed to be done continuously for two or three days before any further progress could be made.
If he made an offensive move right after meeting her, Sirin would either flee directly or try to kill him.
As for the reason...
It was probably due to Sirin's personality on one hand, and the limitations of role-playing on the other.
For Sirin, he was a very special existence.
Those who knew, knew.
So, Lucas could only pat her head at first; he couldn't be as bold as he was with Raiden Mei and Griseo.
Then again, with the external crisis surrounding them, and Lucas almost dying at Sirin's hands, he believed a trace of guilt must still linger in her heart.
This emotion might be exploitable.
"Patting her head to gain favor is just too slow."
"Perhaps this is the correct way to win over Sirin. Let me win her over in one day!"
No sooner said than done.
Lucas immediately tentatively reached out to put his arm around Sirin's back, wanting to try hugging her.
Feeling a large hand land on her back, Sirin's body suddenly tensed.
She looked up at the man in front of her, bit her lip, but still said nothing… She just stiffened her body and averted her gaze.
"There's a chance."
Lucas's eyes lit up slightly.
He pressed down firmly, successfully reducing the distance between them from five centimeters to zero.
Pressed together, they could feel each other's pounding hearts.
Compared to Raiden Mei and Big Greysia, Sirin could be described as a 'Peaceful Princess.'
Although this was a sad story, neither Lucas nor Sirin thought about those things.
One was considering whether he could continue the strategy, while the other's mind had completely emptied.
Sirin.exe has stopped working.
Inside the trash can, which contained no actual trash, their body temperatures steadily rose.
Lucas quietly extended his second hand, hugging her even more tightly, and a strange atmosphere spread.
Now Sirin didn't know what to do; her remaining sanity told her this wasn't right.
She wanted to push the man away, but the guilt in her heart prevented her from acting.
Moreover, Sirin was worried that if she pushed Lucas away, he would choose to go out again.
It was dangerous outside, and she was afraid Lucas would die, and also afraid she would lose control of her emotions again and try to kill him.
Driven by complex emotions, Sirin didn't resist; she simply let Lucas hug her.
After all, she wouldn't lose a piece of flesh, and the feeling was unexpectedly sweet.
Her inner fear and coldness seemed to be dispelled by the warm embrace.
Time passed minute by minute, and just as Sirin's eyes were becoming hazy, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the trash can, along with the growling of Night Valkyries and a strange creaking noise.
"I see you…"
"I already see you, Master."
"But why can't I find you, ahhh, I can't find… can't find you!"
The Night Valkyrie was very close to the trash can.
The hoarse voice seemed to echo in their ears.
The girl in his arms trembled slightly, like a frightened little white rabbit.
Lucas just gently stroked Sirin's back.
He couldn't speak.
He absolutely couldn't speak now.
The Night Valkyrie's ears were sharp; if Lucas spoke, he would most likely be caught on the spot.
As for relying on Sirin?
Please.
Even if he successfully won Sirin over, she couldn't help at all.
If they truly encountered danger, she would definitely run faster than Lucas.
Sirin's goodwill was only established when she felt safe.
Sirin, when threatened, would flee at all costs; she had no combat capability whatsoever.
"Where did you go, where did you go, Master, my Master, were you captured by someone else?"
"No… you belong to me, you only belong to me, I will find you… absolutely…"
"Hehe… hehehe."
"Skinning alive, gutting, cutting out the tongue, digging out the eyes, which one do you like?"
"I guess you like them all."
Lucas cursed inwardly: "I like your big head, you idiot."
On the street outside the Faculty Dormitory, the Night Valkyrie who first saw Lucas was crawling on all fours, her movements mechanical and stiff.
As she crawled, she kept saying strange things.
The Night Valkyries could all transform.
As long as they had seen Lucas with their own eyes, these originally normal Valkyries were like pressing a transformation button.
There were all sorts of strange postures: flying in the sky, crawling on the ground, swimming in the water.
Of course, after transforming, the Night Valkyries still maintained a human form, with noses and eyes, and most of them were students with excellent looks and figures, which was quite appealing.
It was a bit like the Silent Hill nurses.
Well, only a bit; even after transforming, the Night Valkyries were much prettier than the Silent Hill nurses.
After all, those guys had no faces; how could they compare to the charming Valkyries?
To be honest, at first, Lucas even felt like he was an unspeakable ancient god.
As long as they didn't see him, the Night Valkyries were truly just patrolling, with no issues whatsoever.
But once they saw Lucas, even through a mirror, or just a glimpse of his skin, it would cause a huge impact, as if they were contaminated and fell into madness.
But he thought about it carefully; what kind of ancient god was as useless as him?
A cold wind blew.
In the oppressive atmosphere, the Night Valkyrie quickly left with her strange cries.
At this point, Lucas finally spoke, asking, "Are you scared?"
"I… I'm not scared at all."
Sirin retorted, and at some point, her small fists had clenched, as if she was ready to run away.
Was the reclusive girl truly not scared?
Of course she was scared.
Just the act of Sirin hiding in a trash can showed how timid she was; how could she not be scared?
Moreover, her trembling body just now couldn't be hidden from Lucas.
At this point, some people might be curious: If she was scared, why did Sirin still run around at night?
Wouldn't staying in the Valkyrie Dormitory be much safer?
Regarding this, he was also very confused, but unfortunately, he couldn't get an answer from her.
Lucas whispered into Sirin's ear, "Guaibao, you don't need to be afraid.
You are a powerful Valkyrie, even the Herrscher of the Void.
As long as you fully unleash your power, even an S-Class Valkyrie might not be able to defeat you."
Similar to Raiden Mei, the current Sirin also couldn't fully unleash the power of the Herrscher of the Void.
In fact, Lucas had never seen Sirin fully unleash her power.
Her personality was a major weakness.
Sometimes he genuinely worried that Sirin would be bullied by other Yandere Valkyries, but thankfully, St. Freya Academy didn't have bullying incidents.
As long as Lucas wasn't present, the Valkyries wouldn't show hostility towards each other.
Hmm… probably not?
In fact, Lucas wasn't very clear, but based on the information revealed by the Yandere Valkyries, it was roughly like that.
"I know, and… I already said I'm not scared, I just…"
Sirin's emotions were slightly agitated.
People only get anxious when their sore spot is stepped on.
For example, if you criticize a famous chess player's Go skills as terrible, saying he can't beat AlphaGo, he might just smile and pretend not to see it.
But if you say he's bad at playing Teamfight Tactics, he'll get angry on the spot.
Lucas rubbed his chin against Sirin's shoulder, then began to soothe her.
His words just now had already stimulated her.
Continuing might have a counterproductive effect.
Knowing when to stop is a good virtue.
Although Sirin was acting normal now, Lucas kept warning himself that she was a Yandere Valkyrie, and it wouldn't be surprising if she went crazy for any reason at any time.
