As Amou hugged Amane's arms, they walked among the destroyed buildings, Honkai remains, and disfigured zombie bodies. Despite their good appearance, the surroundings were marred by destruction and debris.
"I heard that Filipinos are open-minded people," Amane said, reading it on the internet. "But I shouldn't trust everything I find online."
"Did you bring me here for a date or something?" Amane asked, looking at Amou, who smiled in response.
"What do you think?" Amou asked, giving him a teasing smile.
Amane smiled wryly, considering that it had been a while since they were alone, so he decided to enjoy their time.
As they strolled, they noticed a girl with ash-grey-to-white hair reaching down to her knees, with two bangs framing her face and several curls on her forehead.
She was running away from a Honkai beast attacking the area, repeatedly apologizing and explaining that her mission was too important to stay.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," The girl repeated those words as she ran away while crying. "I can't stay here, my mission is too important," she said, looking at the remains of the buildings.
The girl heard a noise and looked at the debris, then ran away again, crying and apologizing.
Amane and Amou accidentally hit a stone, causing a certain wall to get destroyed and creating debris that scared the girl, making her run away.
As she passed by a little girl while running and crying, she thought, "Do I really regret becoming a Valkyrie? No, I don't."
"Is this really what I wanted? Leaving an unprotected little girl alone when I can pick her up?"
"No, it's not."
"This is not what I wanted," she said, gathering her courage and picking up the little girl. However, she saw Amane and Amou already carrying the little girl, making her sigh with relief.
But suddenly, Ana remembered that the Honkai Eruption was still happening in the area, with Honkai beasts everywhere. "Sir and Mister, I'm going to guide you to the evacuation center as a Valkyrie of Schicksal. I, Ana Schariac, shall protect your well-being honorably until you reach the shelter."
"No need, I'm Amane Fujimiya, a new knight, and this is Amou Fujimiya, an S-rank Valkyrie," Amane said, introducing themselves, leaving her in shock.
"Wait, siblings? S-Rank? Is that really true?" Anna asked, filled with hope that they could save the people around the area.
"Yes, I'm an S-Rank Valkyrie. For now, we should focus on saving the civilians and transporting them to safe places," Amou answered, looking around at the destroyed buildings and debris.
"Well, this is rare to see character development right in front of my eyes," Amane said, smiling at Anna.
The three of them walked around until they saw a group of people carrying their children and essential belongings.
"Hello, I'm Fujimiya Amane, a Knight from either Saint Freya or Schicksal," Amane introduced himself, unsure of his affiliation.
The group of people became wary of them until a girl, who seemed to be their leader, stepped forward. "I'm Joan Legaspi. I'm sorry for not introducing ourselves earlier. We are just shy around strangers, especially foreigners," Joan said, asking about the situation and why everyone had turned into zombies and monsters.
"We will try to save them. For now, let's guide you to the shelter," Amane answered, explaining the situation to the group because they had the right to know.
"Do you know this kid by chance?" Amane asked Joan, referring to the sleeping girl he was carrying.
"Chen, I'm glad that you're alright," Joan said as she hugged the girl, waking her up. The little girl greeted Joan and thanked Amane and the others for helping her when she was alone.
"Thank you for helping her," Joan thanked Amane and the others as they nodded in response.
Ana gave a sad smile because she almost abandoned the little girl, who hadn't even experienced the beauty of the world due to her cowardice.
"Don't worry," Amane said, giving her a wink and patting her shoulder. He had learned his lesson to avoid patting people's heads, especially girls, whom he had just met.
"Thank you," Ana nodded, feeling grateful for his comforting words.
Amou watched the interaction between the two and raised an eyebrow. "Amane, let's finish this mission. It's becoming boring here," she said, flicking her finger to kill all the Honkai beasts and zombies around Manila.
"KYAAAA!" Ana shouted as she jumped into Amane, embracing him tightly. A dead zombie falling down next to her surprised her, causing her to jump into Amane.
"I-I'm sorry," Ana apologized as she released him from her hug and blushed while her eyes were spinning.
"My~ hugging my boyfriend in front of me," Amou whispered to Ana, surprising her once again.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that the two of you are lovers," Ana said apologetically. "I even mistook that the two of you are siblings."
"Ana, you made it sound like you were planning to ask me on a date if you didn't know I have a lover," Amane teased, making Ana blush even more.
The group laughed at Ana's bashful face, and she didn't dare to look at them.

Meanwhile in Saint. Freya.
"The Bronya shall complain to Idiotka and Bakatoria to stop moaning while shouting Amane-Onii-Sama's name," Bronya complained to the two girls. Artoria blushed as she was caught red-handed, being a teenager full of libido and stressed from school.
"What are you talking about?" Kiana pretended not to understand what Bronya was talking about.
"Kiana-chan, the walls are not sound proof from other rooms except of Amane room." Mei explained making Kiana surprised and blushed.
"Mei-Onee-Sama, you should also stop doing it in the bathroom," Bronya said as she looked at the three girls who were blushing intensely. "Chisato and Amane-Onii-Sama also need to learn how to close the door carefully. One night, I saw them doing things that the Bronya shouldn't have learned at an early age."
The girls got surprised, Chisato scratched her head, looking away from them, and Gu Yuena let out a deep sigh. Yuna, who was new to the group, blushed upon discovering Amane's adventures to the bedroom.
"Well, Kiana, if you want to do it, you can just ask him. Also, Artoria, if you like him, then confess to him. We will support you, the same for you Mei," Gu Yuena said as she read a book and devoured the sweets on her table.
The girls blushed, and Kiana beamed with a smile. "Thank you for the suggestion," Kiana said, running outside and waiting for Amane to come back.
"She's correct," Chisato said, agreeing with Gu Yuena and laughing at their reaction.
"Is he really going to accept my confession?" Artoria asked as she fidgeted around.
"Of course he will, I mean, he liked saber face, so," Chisato answered, knowing about Artoria from the Fate lore but deciding not to tell her anything about her legend. Because the Artoria from the lore and the one in front of her are different people.
"Mei, you should confirm your relationship with him. I mean, when you turned into Herrscher, you literally confessed to him and wanted to lock him inside a room with just the two of you," Chisato said, teasing Mei with a smile. "I didn't know you're that kinky~"
"I-I..." Mei didn't know what to say and just covered her face with her hands, blushing deeply.
Yuna was speechless from their interaction and wondered if she was in the right place or not.
