Under this premise, it is normal for Lin Yu to take some ordinary measures.
People who didn't notice would think that what Lin Yu did was just an ordinary brother celebrating his sister's birthday.
Anyone who noticed it would naturally think that Lin Yu was pretending again.
As for whether taking the initiative to go to Rita, who was familiar with Lin Yu, would expose the fact that he was not the real person - Lin Yu could only say that this was definitely overthinking.
When most people encounter a loved one's temperament change drastically, they would be puzzled and would look for reasons for the situation, but few would even suspect to the point of "Wow, has he been possessed by another spirit?"
Rather than continue to be suspected in the future, Lin Yu felt that it would be better to take the initiative and strengthen his image in Rita and Yulandel's hearts.
Although Theresa didn't want to get close to Rita and she also felt that she couldn't get along with Yulandel, it was not like they didn't know other Valkyries in the Far East Branch.
Both of them are Valkyries who have a close relationship with Ragnar, and Himeko Murata happens to be the last member of Ragnar's team.
If Rita really cared about Lin Yu, she would definitely contact Ji Zi, a member of Ragna's team, privately to find out Lin Yu's current situation.
And when Rita realized that Lin Yu was like this when he was in St. Freya Academy and was also like this when he was in front of them, even though Rita was a smart person with a quick mind, this subtle influence would deepen the image of Lin Yu in her mind as a "vengeful ghost disguised as an ordinary person."
As for what will happen later, Lin Yu's brain is not enough for him to calculate such a distant future.
Now, he just wanted to resolve the doubts that might arise in Rita and Yulandel's minds, and use this method to solve some of the troubles that might be faced in the future.
Taking out the key he had brought with him when he traveled through time and space, Lin Yu came to the small house where the three people lived.
Before Lin Yu was about to open the door with the key, the door in front of him was opened from the inside first.
"It's you, Lin Yu."
After opening the door, Youlandel looked at Lin Yu, who had a calm expression, and smiled with relief.
"I thought you..."
"What could be more important than helping Sister Rita celebrate her birthday?"
After patting Youlandel's shoulder gently, Lin Yu, who had changed his shoes, walked into the house.
"Ah, Lieutenant Lin Yu."
Rita, who was preparing food in the kitchen, turned around with a smile and slowly walked towards Lin Yu.
"You never contacted me during this period, and I thought you had forgotten this day."
At this moment, Rita was undoubtedly smiling.
But whether it was Lin Yu or Youlan Daier, looking at the smile on Rita's face at this time, they knew very well...
——Rita is definitely angry now.
【Oh, angry? Seeing this woman's temper, anger suddenly ignited in your heart. 】
It's not that serious. After all, in a sense, I am the one who is in the wrong.
[After all, you have been working hard outside, and you just haven't called home for a while. This is not a big deal at all! ]
No, no, no, if I really have family, it would really not be good not to call them back for almost a month.
[This woman has no idea how hard you work outside! As your step-sister, she doesn't sympathize with you at all! ]
In fact, she also worked very hard.
[When faced with such an unreasonable woman, your approach is of course——]
Of course?
Forget it, you are in prank mode now anyway, so the proposal has no reference value.
After saying this, Lin Yu took out the gift and handed it to Rita, then bowed his head and apologized to Rita very calmly.
"I'm sorry, sis. I didn't mean it."
"Wow, there are gifts too. It's different being a second lieutenant."
After gently snatching the gift from Lin Yu's hand, Rita approached Lin Yu's face with an even more dangerous smile.
"No, maybe it's not that you're different after becoming a lieutenant, but that you were like this before."
"Ayu, when did you learn to do such a bad thing as lying to girls? Both me and Lady Youlandel were deceived so badly by you before."
After casually placing the gift on the dining table, Rita's face, which was close to Lin Yu, finally revealed a trace of anger that could not be tolerated or concealed.
"I thought you had really gotten over that day, but now..."
"——Is revenge against Honkai really that important to you?"
Ah, this expression, she is really angry.
The character is indeed very stable, but...
Getting up every day is deceiving people.
If moral standards could be quantified, I would wake up every day to see that my moral standards are steadily declining.
But without acting, many things wouldn't make sense.
Even if his temperament changes drastically, he needs to be stimulated enough to change his personality... at least not now.
"What's wrong? You're not talking anymore?"
After signaling Youlandel behind Lin Yu with her eyes not to interrupt, Rita kept staring at Lin Yu, trying to wait for him to say something.
Facing such a Rita, Lin Yu thought for a while, and suddenly said to Rita with a guilty look on his face.
"I'm sorry, sis. But I have to say that you really think too much."
"It's my fault that I didn't call you in time, but the main reason is..."
"What is the main reason?"
Looking at the guilt and embarrassment on Lin Yu's face at this moment, Rita suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Um, wait, that.
Major Jizi told me that Ayu and Lady Fuhua had gone out together.
Although Major Himeko told me after she finished saying these words that there was no such atmosphere between the two of them, but... could it be...
Could it be that Ayu and Lady Fu Hua have made some progress in that area???
To be honest, if Lin Yu had a close relationship with other girls at St. Freya College, or even went out to fool around, Rita would not have any resistance at all, and would even be a little relieved.
It’s a good thing that the pigs you raise at home will no longer think about rushing to the slaughterhouse every day, but will learn to secretly eat cabbages.
But now, if Lin Yu's ambiguous object is Fu Hua, then the situation is not right.
As a Valkyrie who knew some of Fu Hua's background, Rita certainly knew that an A-level from the Far East branch was not qualified to use the God Killing Armor and the Throne of the Gods weapons.
Even in Otto's mouth, he directly called Fu Hua an old friend.
Otto thinks Fu Hua is an old friend, so how can this woman be just a young girl?
Of course, Rita would not think that Fu Hua was a good person just because she was the "old friend" mentioned by Otto.
In fact, there are many people who have interactions with Otto, and there are many good people among them. Of course, in Rita's eyes, Fu Hua is also one of these good people.
But the problem is, in Rita's opinion, Lin Yu and Fu Hua are really... a little inappropriate.
If Lin Yu really had this kind of relationship with Fu Hua, then even putting aside the age issue, Rita would still have a headache.
Fu Hua is called an old friend by Otto, but in the final analysis she is also a collaborator of Otto.
Rita didn't want Lin Yu to be further involved in "that plan". Under this premise, she naturally didn't want Lin Yu and Fu Hua to have excessive contact.
Moreover, in Rita's opinion, Fu Hua is not good at speaking, and she is also the kind of fighter who is single-minded in fighting against Honkai.
When a fighter who is not good at speaking meets a vengeful ghost, can he change the other party's distorted ideas?
It's too difficult.
Even in Rita's opinion, Fu Hua not only cannot help Lin Yu change his mind, but may also become a catalyst that leads Lin Yu towards a dead end.
If Fu Hua was just an ordinary A-level, she wouldn't have such worries.
But Fu Hua is essentially the fourth S-level of Tianming. The dangers that Fu Hua has to face are definitely much greater than those of an ordinary A-level Valkyrie.
Rita didn't want to think about some impolite things, but if the two of them developed feelings for each other and Fu Hua suddenly got into trouble because of a mission, then Lin Yu's revenge ghost attribute would only skyrocket.
As for saying that she was overthinking it - that just means that Lin Yu didn't fall in love with other girls, he was still the same person who wanted to take revenge on Honkai.
To change is to go astray, and not to change is to continue rushing towards a dead end.
Although Rita was only a 19-year-old girl at this time, she really felt that it was a headache to have a troublesome child at home.
"Um, sister?"
Seeing that the expression on Rita's face had completely disappeared, Lin Yu waved his hand in front of Rita.
"Are you OK?"
Shit, I haven't even started acting yet. It's just an expression, but why do I feel like you've imagined at least 500 words of plot in your mind?
"Ahem, Ayu."
After realizing that her naughty brother seemed to have embarked on a new wrong path, Rita immediately adjusted her expression and suddenly smiled at Lin Yu and said.
"Sister was just joking with you. You don't really think that sister would care about such a small matter, do you?"
"of course not."
No, the change was so sudden that it's even more scary.
After watching Rita open the gift he brought for her with a smile, Lin Yu felt a little uneasy.
When acting in front of other people before, Lin Yu didn't think there was anything wrong.
But when he was in front of his 'closest' people, he realized there was a saying called "care too much and you will be confused."
It was because Rita cared about him that she thought of a lot of things after he just made an expression.
[After knowing what your sister is thinking, you can only chuckle and say that your sister still doesn't understand your brother. ]
Then she really doesn't understand me.
[She actually thought you would be locked up with Fu Hua? What a joke! A real man would never give up a whole lush forest just because of an old tree! ]
Putting aside the weird word “old tree”, I feel that – you don’t understand me at all!
[Hey, isn't this nonsense, you unlovable host? We have only known each other for a month.]
[After only knowing each other for a month, you think this system says that it has completely understood you. Think about it yourself, would you sneer at it or would you just believe it? ]
Also.
"Well, this thing."
Looking at Theresa's Q version pendant, Rita smiled and said to Lin Yu.
"Okay, I forgive you completely. But, did you forget to say something?"
After finding a chair to sit down, Lin Yu spoke to Rita very seriously.
"Sister, happy birthday."
"Huh, you two."
After watching the weirdness between the two of them completely disappear, Yulandel finally spoke in annoyance.
"If you have something to say, just say it directly. You're making the atmosphere so tense and still pretending to smile. I'm almost scared to death by you two."
Looking at Youlandel's unhappy expression, Lin Yu said very calmly.
"Bianca, you're overthinking it."
"Yes, Lady Yulandel is overthinking. After all..."
Looking at the two people in front of her at this moment, Rita gave them a very reassuring smile.
"I'm already very happy that you two are back here safely."
After saying this, Rita picked up the lid in the center of the dining table, allowing the cake on the plate to appear in front of the two of them.
After lighting the 19 candles one by one, Rita closed her eyes slightly for a few seconds, then suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the two of them, asking very dissatisfiedly.
"What about the birthday song?"
