This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist-Chapter 1179 Tiger Ear, Kessa

Life on the ship was monotonous and quiet.

Recording World Sigh, and spending ten minutes each day reading the work reports sent by Shadow.Q.

For her own convenience, Rita even set a rule: "Daily work reports must be kept within one thousand characters. Each message should be summarized in one sentence as much as possible. Each sentence should not exceed thirty characters. Small issues do not need to be reported. You decide what counts as big or small."

To this day, Rita still remembered Shadow.Q’s expression after she announced that rule. Utterly disrespectful.

Fortunately, Shadow.Q quickly regained her composure. Not only did she smile and praise Rita for being efficient, she also said Rita was considerate toward her subordinates.

After Shadow.Q left, Rita leaned back in the chair of the captain’s room and could not help but laugh softly as she recalled that expression. She raised her hand, set the coin upright with her middle finger, then flicked it with her index finger. The coin began to spin on the table.

Her luck was not very good. In the coin’s afterimages, Shadow.Q did not appear. Instead, it showed the scene of her lying on a wall, delivering white bear cocktails.

The smile on Rita’s face faded. She reached out and pressed the coin down.

Y128, sitting on her shoulder, suddenly asked, "Why do you keep spinning that coin?"

It knew that BS Rita had won in Quiet Mountain, but it did not know the details.

And from its perspective, BS Rita’s changes were not as dramatic as Nivalis and B80 claimed.

Perhaps because from the moment it first met BS Rita, the warmth it felt from her had never been much. In its eyes, BS Rita was the player who decisively killed it once she confirmed cooperation was impossible, and also the player who doubted its sincerity when it ran all over to find her. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Rita did not brush off the little robot’s question. She explained, "I went through some things that made many of my past memories blurry. I sealed those memories into the coin. Every time it flashes, the fragments are random, so I have to keep spinning it."

Y128 understood. "That means you really like those memories. Otherwise, you would not keep spinning it out of fear of missing something."

Rita paused. She stayed silent for a long time, but did not deny it.

Just as she picked up her pen again to continue writing World Sigh, she heard Y128 ask hesitantly, "Do the memories you sealed include me?"

Rita flipped to Midsummer, her voice filled with clear laughter, and recited a familiar list of names. "You, B80, 7777, L175246."

"That’s great." Y128 nodded its little cube head seriously, the sunflower antenna on top bobbing along. "Even if you forget me, it’s fine. I’ll stay in BS. We can have new stories."

The pen tip turned, and she wrote a wrong character.

...

Rita ate a lucky bento every day, but even so, the ship still took three days to reach Tiger Ear.

During this time, the battlefield chat channel was filled with nonstop information, either about the second pendulum strike or intelligence shared by players still staying in Quiet Mountain.

Afraid of missing something, Rita simply handed this task to Nivalis and B80, asking them to closely monitor the chat and submit one important report each day.

That very day, Rita received a small report from BS. It said that Shadow.Q, Nivalis, and B80 had formed a small group to gossip about her.

Rita: ...

Although after coming into contact with World Sigh she already knew that every world had its own personality, she truly did not expect BS to snitch like a child.

Still, to avoid discouraging it, Rita nodded with a serious expression. "That’s too much. Thank you for telling me, otherwise I would have been kept in the dark."

After saying that, Rita was quite sure she heard BS hum a few cheerful notes.

Just then, the ship stopped, and the helmsman cow cat’s voice came from outside. "Captain! We’ve reached Tiger Ear!"

It ran in quickly, yet the pirate hat on its head stayed firmly in place.

It jumped onto the table and said anxiously, "Can I look now? Can I look now? You promised me!"

Rita wrote the final sentence to close out the world, then pushed the notebook toward the cow cat wearing the pirate hat.

She knew that the reason worlds wanted her to record their civilizations was that they hoped that even if Uncharted Star Sea was destroyed again, someone would still remember the stories of this era.

She would use these sighs to profit within limits, which was the compensation she deserved. But if she died, then none of that would matter anymore. Being generous would not hurt.

Thus, these six vice captains were undoubtedly the most suitable beings to read World Sigh. They could live through era after era alongside Cat’s Ideal, even though she had never received a definite answer from them. They also loved traveling and wandering.

They had no ties to any race, and would not spread the secrets in World Sigh without her permission.

Like one furry bard after another.

The ship’s doctor Maine coon suddenly said, "As payment for letting us read World Sigh, do you need us to do anything for you?"

Rita laughed quietly. She patted the Maine coon’s head. This usually dignified ship’s doctor surprisingly did not dodge. She said, "I can’t think of anything you can help me with for now. We’ll talk about it later."

She left the ship at the dock and entered Tiger Ear alone.

The familiar warning sounded. Just like in Tingo, Rita did not try to hide. She stayed where she was and waited for the orange cat who was lingering in this world to come find her.

According to Cheese, the orange cat did not only make canned food, but could cook cuisines from many worlds, guaranteed at least five stars.

"So arrogant?"

Just as Rita sat down, planning to organize the information from the battlefield chat over the past few days, she heard a familiar line.

Kessa walked up to her, placed both hands on the table, and said her second sentence straight away. "Let’s make a deal."

Recently, this line seemed to come up often. Rita asked, "What kind of deal?"

Kessa looked into BS Rita’s eyes across the table. Only after confirming that her attitude was serious enough did she speak. "If Tiger Ear cannot withstand the future pendulum strikes, then before that Bell Tolls, let me join BS."

Unlike other leaders, she had no kin in Tiger Ear. She had no attachments and could leave whenever she wanted. Tiger Ear paid her salary, but the rewards she gained in the divine game were also fed back to Tiger Ear. They owed each other nothing.

It seemed that the whole world believed BS would survive to the end. A trace of helplessness flashed in Rita’s eyes, but she still answered immediately. "Okay."

BS Rita’s decisiveness made Kessa freeze for a moment. She emphasized, "I’m not afraid of death. I just don’t want to die so casually."

After coming this far, after going through so much.

She leaned forward slightly and stared straight into BS Rita’s eyes, emphasizing again, "I’m not afraid of death."

Even though the person before her showed only trust and calm, without the slightest doubt, Kessa’s eyes still reddened on their own.

"I believe you." Midsummer Kessa would never be afraid of death.

"If Uncharted Star Sea and Quiet Mountain end up going to war, then I want to die on the battlefield, not die to the bell."
