Just after getting off the plane and arriving in London, Susanna's eyes were filled with a clear and dazed look.
Susanna wandered around the airport entrance until she was dizzy. Fortunately, Durandal and Rita were nearby to pick her up.
"Wow... wow wow!!" Seeing Durandal, Susanna's face turned beet red, and she excitedly hugged Durandal. "Lady Durandal? It's Lady Durandal!!"
"Do you still remember me? I'm Susanna, a member of the Phosphorus Sand Squad that you helped during the Dubai Honkai incident! I saw all of your heroic actions from the aircraft!"
"I don't recall..." Durandal looked at Susanna a couple more times, then answered seriously.
"I guess so..." Susanna's body stiffened, petrified on the spot.
Rita walked over with a smile to break the awkward silence. "It seems this is the Valkyrie sent by the Lord Overseer."
"Miss Rita!" Susanna turned and excitedly grabbed Rita's hand. Durandal and Rita were both her idols! She never thought she'd get to meet them both today.
"I am Susanna, sent here on the Lord Overseer's orders to assist you in the investigation of the Divine Key!"
Rita: "It's a pleasure to work with you."
——————————————
Inside a hotel room, after Rita helped Susanna with her luggage and accommodation.
"Miss Rita, this time I brought Schicksal's most advanced detection equipment to assist you with the investigation." Susanna opened her backpack, which was filled with various kinds of surveying and mining equipment.
"The Lord Overseer said that during the five hundred years Schicksal governed England, he had already searched the entire country and found nothing. So he speculates that the Divine Key must be deeper underground.
Therefore, this time the Lord Overseer has asked us to reinvestigate the ruins in England and find the whereabouts of the Second Divine Key at all costs."
"My family in the Far East is in the business of prospecting for gems. The Lord Overseer said I'm the most suitable person for the job! Please believe in my abilities, Miss Rita!"
Susanna had been talking nonstop since she entered the room, not even giving Rita a chance to get a word in.
Finally, Rita found a gap and wanted to speak, but Susanna had already changed into a new outfit at lightning speed, fully equipped with a hard hat, a headlamp, a pickaxe, and more.
"Miss Rita, I'm ready. Let's set off immediately! I can't wait to start exploring!"
"Please wait a moment..."
Rita stopped the rushing Susanna and then turned to retrieve a stack of documents taller than both of them combined.
"Before that, we have to find clues to where the Divine Key is buried in these documents first."
"Ugh... ah, this..."
Looking at the documents that filled the room and reached the ceiling, Susanna fell into deep thought...
"Reading is my worst subject..." Susanna was on the verge of tears, completely hopeless.
"Please don't worry. Besides Miss Susanna, we have also invited another assistant."
Rita opened the door to the room. Outside, the museum director, Catherine, had just arrived.
After Susanna and Catherine briefly introduced themselves to each other, the three of them began to search for clues to the Divine Key in the sea of books.
After some time, Rita was the first to ask a question.
"Miss Catherine, do you have any thoughts on the whereabouts of the Divine Key?"
"On the lands of England today, there are countless places related to the legend of King Arthur. Tintagel Castle, the birthplace of King Arthur. Snowdon, where King Arthur became famous for slaying a giant. And Glastonbury, which is now considered the most likely location of Avalon. All of them are famous because of the legend of King Arthur." As Catherine spoke, she listed the picture materials one by one.
"Do we have to go to all these places?" Susanna's eyes widened, forcing herself to finish reading these books. "It feels like it will take a long time... Miss Catherine, do you have any suggestions?"
"Hmm... if what you're looking for is King Arthur's holy sword..."
Catherine stood up, took the history book that Susanna had been looking at for a long time but had held upside down.
She flipped to the page with the record of Avalon and presented it to Rita and Susanna.
"Glastonbury Tor, near Glastonbury, is the legendary entrance to the fairy kingdom of Avalon.
And the holy sword that Merlin gave to Arthur was also forged by fairies, so that place, like Glastonbury, is considered the closest to Avalon. It can be our first stop."
Rita thought for a moment and said with a smile, "In that case, let's set off."
"Yay!" Susanna cheered happily. Finally, she didn't have to read these damn documents.
——————————————
"The Schicksal Valkyries have arrived at the designated location. We can begin implementing the plan."
"I didn't expect them to take the bait so easily. Thank you for your hard work. In that case, let's give them a proper welcome."
Jackal hung up the communication and looked at the screen in front of her. Ryn and Durandal had been marked with a big X, but Jackal didn't care in the slightest about the remaining Rita and Susanna.
Ryn was thrown in prison, and the power of public opinion made it impossible for Schicksal to get him out, while Ryn himself would willingly stay in prison for moral reasons.
Durandal's vacation was also urgently interrupted by the Honkai Beasts that World Serpent had released to the outside world, and she left to deal with the Honkai Beasts in various places.
"To have such great power, yet be bound by people, to believe Otto's lies and rush all over the world. Ryn, Durandal, what pathetic pawns you are... But your turn is coming soon. The Serpent is coming..."
——————————————
On Glastonbury Tor, Susanna was scanning around with a detector.
"Do you need my help, Miss Susanna?"
"No need, leave this small matter to me!" Susanna smiled and refused Catherine's offer of help. She had already been a hindrance while reading the books; if she couldn't contribute with her specialty, detection, then she would be completely useless.
However, not long after she said that, Susanna tripped on a hole hidden by the grass and fell to the ground.
"Miss Susanna! Are you alright!"
"Alright... I guess I'll have to trouble you to help me after all..."
——————————————
"Miss Susanna is truly amazing, becoming a Schicksal Valkyrie at such a young age."
"Really? Hehe, I'm still far from it. Compared to me, Miss Catherine is the truly amazing one. Not just anyone can be a museum director!"
"If I could, I'd like to become a cool Valkyrie like Susanna."
