Kapitel 67: Chapter 67: Token
As a large-scale Honkai event occurred in Southeast Asia, it was quite normal for the nearby Far East Branch to send a team of Valkyries to provide support.
In order to support disaster relief and train them, Theresa arranged for Kiana, Mei, and Bronya to come to Manila together.
Well, judging from the news he just received on the communication, they are already on the way and will probably arrive here soon.
Kirataka put down the communicator in his hand.
"Is this a call from your friend...?" Anna at the side asked curiously.
"Well, to be precise, they are companions who escaped from Nagazora together," Kirataka nodded.
"…" Anna tilted her head slightly as if she was thinking about something.
As a male Schicksal knight with a certain reputation among the Valkyries, information about Kirataka has already spread very widely. But there is very little information about the girls who left Nagazora with him and entered St. Freya Academy.
The girl looked at the room behind her and suddenly seemed to have thought of something, asking in a low voice:
"Um... although it seems unlikely, do you live with them over there?"
Judging from her expression, she seems to be quite concerned.
"Well, for some reason, we are indeed temporarily living together," Kirataka said honestly.
Considering that the three girls were on their way here, there was no need to lie. He briefly recounted the general experience before and after the anti-entropy invasion, of course, omitting the details related to himself.
"Anti-Entropy attack? I seem to have seen relevant notification information..." Anna nodded thoughtfully.
"Oh, Anna, this..." Kirataka took out the half of the heart-shaped necklace that Anna had given him yesterday before they parted ways, handed it to the girl next to him, and said:
"I should give it back to you."
She mentioned that this was something very important to her.
Anna looked at the necklace Kirataka handed over and pondered for a few seconds before saying:
"Um... Sorry, could you please keep it for me for a while?"
"Hmm? Why is that?"
"Kirataka, you should have heard of... the Schariac family," the girl asked in a low voice.
"Well, of course," Kirataka nodded.
As one of the three major families that made up the original Schicksal, the name of [Schariac] is naturally quite famous among the Valkyries of Schicksal.
The Apocalypse family representing the "bishops," the Schariac family representing the "saints," and the Kaslana family representing the "knights" were the three cornerstones that once supported the operation of the Old Schicksal.
Among them, the descendants of the Schariac Family possess excellent abilities to control and neutralize Honkai energy. When developed to the extreme, they become [Herrscher Killer] like Cecilia Schariac.
Of course, Cecilia was the result of an artificial transformation by Otto. Normal Schariac people, like Anna, did not have such exaggerated power.
Generally speaking, ordinary Schariac people can only choose between good Honkai energy control ability and the ability to neutralize Honkai energy, and cannot master both powers at the same time.
"When a member of the Schariac family reaches adulthood, they will choose their own career according to their abilities. Some become doctors responsible for healing, and some become Valkyries who are on the front line. Our family is the same," Anna continued.
"And this necklace... is actually left to me by my mother."
'The jewelry left by her mother... could it be a relic?'
Kirataka listened to the chestnut-haired girl's description and pondered in his heart.
As we all know, the profession of Valkyrie is a high-risk job just like that of a magical girl. Not only does she often participate in battles where she faces death, but the length of time she can be active as a Valkyrie is also quite limited.
The youth and lives of most of the Valkyries were dedicated to this tug-of-war with Honkai.
Of course, the relics were just his guess, and he actually didn't know much about Anna's family background. However, in the dangerous world view of Honkai, being single-parent or even having no parents was already a very common situation.
Looking at the entire group of protagonists, Rita is probably the only one whose parents are still alive...
Anna seemed to notice that Kirataka's expression had turned serious. She realized that there might be something wrong with what she said and quickly explained:
"My mother just retired. On the day I became a Valkyrie and swore an oath to the sacred flag, she gave me this necklace of jewelry, hoping that I could become an excellent Valkyrie."
As a result, Anna has actually done a pretty good job.
Reaching the level of an A-rank Valkyrie at the age of sixteen already makes her a genius - if you don't compare her to a certain stupid goose person.
"I see..." Kirataka nodded.
This necklace must carry her mother's sincere wishes. No wonder it is so important to Anna.
After a pause, Anna continued:
"But, I feel that I am not mature enough now and cannot achieve my ideal, so... Kirataka, can you please keep it for me first?"
She used to imagine that life against Honkai was too easy, but now, she has realized that she is far from qualified.
The chestnut-haired girl asked in a low voice:
"When one day... I really deserve it, you can return it to me."
Although it didn't make any sense, Anna inexplicably felt that if she did this, she might become more motivated.
This important necklace can be regarded as a token of this agreement.
"Okay, I understand," Kirataka smiled and nodded, then took back the half necklace.
"That day will come."
"By the way, Kirataka, why did you choose to join Schicksal?" Anna thought about this question.
She was born into the Schariac family, so it was quite normal and natural for her to serve Schicksal and become a part of it after growing up.
"Well... to put it generally, it's world peace, just like everyone else," Kirataka answered perfunctorily.
'I can't honestly say that it's to stay with the three great families to ensure that I can survive the catastrophe of the end - but in a sense, it is indeed for world peace.'
"Yes, I hope that day will come," the girl's pink-purple eyes sparkled. She couldn't help but reach out and hold Kirataka's hands, saying:
"Let's work together towards this goal."
Although the future is full of twists and turns, as long as she doesn't give up, she will be able to reach such a future one day. Anna firmly believes this.
Um...
'I always feel that the girl in front of me has a very simple personality that is completely different from her body.'
'Well, this may be related to the fact that she has been living and growing up in the headquarters of Schicksal.
'But it's also good this way. It's a good thing that I'm not overly immersed in the pain and suffering brought about by the Honkai disaster.'
Kirataka was about to say something, but at this moment, the door of his and Anna's room was suddenly opened without warning.
Then, three familiar figures poked their heads out of the door
