My Boss, the White-haired Nun

"come in."

As said before, he is very familiar with who the owner of this voice is.There was no pressure when she was invited in.

With a soft "click", the door was opened.The gray-haired maid walked into the room carrying a plate.After turning around and closing the door again, he walked to Gong Ming's side.

"Master Gong Ming, it's late at night, Rita made coffee for you."

She placed the white porcelain cup on the tray slightly forward of the man's hand, so that it would not affect his writing movements, and she did not need to reach out too much when the man needed coffee.

"The coffee is just hot, please enjoy it as soon as possible."

"understood."

Gong Ming flipped through the copy in front of him, writing something from time to time, and replied casually.

"Aren't things busy on the battlefield? Why do you have time to come?"

"Rita is here to get the next phase of the battle plan."

The S-rank Valkyrie named Rita Rossweisse said so, her words full of respect.

"You had previously instructed me to come and get it today."

"For the battle plan, you may have to wait a little longer."

Gong Ming said without raising his head. "I have already prepared the original combat script, but it is combined with the situation of a few days. I guess I need to make a little modification."

"You modify it. This is my duty."

The gray-haired girl didn't show any special expression when she heard the words.Just replied very calmly.Then quietly stood beside the man, without saying a word, silently waiting for the end of his work.

And Gong Ming didn't try to make her leave or anything else, just continued the previous things as if she didn't exist.There was silence in the air, only the sound of the signature pen falling on the paper and the sound of Gong Ming turning the pages.There was no exchange of a word between the two, and the time was still passing slowly in this quietness.

One minute and one second.

Finally, after about two hours, the dark-haired man finished his work.Putting down the pen, raised his arms, and stretched.

And the maid who had been quiet all this time finally moved.Taking a step forward, he gently pressed his black silk gloved hand on the man's shoulder, and began to knead it.

"..."

The expression on the man's face finally fluctuated slightly. After a moment of silence, he lowered his arms.He picked up the coffee that the girl had put on the table earlier.

To his surprise, the coffee in the cup was still warm with a strong aroma.

The cup in his hand is just an ordinary cup. Although the coffee is of good quality, it is not a special variety with any magical power.Then, the only explanation can only be that while he was still busy, the girl behind him had replaced the coffee in the cup at some point.Even calculated from the time, it is very likely that it has been replaced more than once.

She is indeed the ultimate girl on the path of a maid.He closed his eyes slightly, feeling Rita's moderate force on her shoulder, and his expression was slightly complicated.

In various senses, she actually didn't need to do such a thing.Seeing her humble posture often makes people ignore her identity, and forget that this girl is actually a noble S-rank Valkyrie.

An S-rank Valkyrie with a mortal body chasing the feet of a god...

"Rita, you..."

The man with closed eyes finally spoke.The peace that has always been broken has been broken.

"Is it 20 years old this year?"

"Yes." Rita replied softly while continuing to move her hands. "On March 20 this year, I just passed my [-]th birthday."

"March [-]st... I remember this day." Gong Ming's eyes flashed an inexplicable color. "I was going to send you an email on that day - just like every year. But then something happened and I lost contact with the outside world during that time. So it didn't end up being written."

"My lord, you don't have to worry about it." The gray-haired girl's lips curled up slightly. "In fact, even if you sent the letter at that time, I couldn't receive it at the time. I was on a mission outside at the time, and I also cut off the Internet connection."

"Is that so?" Gong Ming nodded with some emotion. "Yeah...it's not the same now as it used to be. Everyone is busy too..."

"That's right." He suddenly seemed to remember something, opened his eyes and looked at the girl behind him. "Have you received the things I sent you at that time? It was sent out in advance at that time. If there is no accident in the middle, it should have been sent to you no matter what?"

"[Skadi]?" The girl quickly realized what he was talking about, and then smiled softly. "I received it. For a Valkyrie, it really couldn't be a more suitable birthday present."

"As long as you like it."

Hearing this, Gong Ming closed his eyes again.

"I also heard that the set of [Moon Soul] developed by the headquarters has come to the end of the design, so I specially designed the [Skadi] for you. The weight and size are based on the [Aphrodite] I gave you back then. It was designed by Dite. It should be easy to use.”

"Most of the weapons in the Ragnarok series are your creations. As a designer, you should have more confidence in these weapons than us."

Rita covered her lips and smiled.

"Confidence is one thing. But a weapon, even if it is as powerful as the legendary sword in the stone, cannot always protect its owner from victory. To me, you are far more important than those weapons , I naturally hope that they can be easily used by you, rather than stand alone."

The black-haired man shook his head and said so.

"Hmm~"

The gray-haired girl smiled softly when she heard this, her eyes narrowed.There was a bright smile on his face half covered by bangs, and his voice was full of charm and tenderness.

"This way of speaking~. You are now more able to tease girls than you were back then."

"Cough cough..."

The man suddenly coughed twice, his face full of embarrassment.

"..."

The two remained silent for a while, but the atmosphere in the air was much, much calmer than before.
