Some time later, Durandal and Rita had to return to Schicksal Headquarters to report.
After all, if all five S-Rank Valkyries remained at the Far East Branch, the other branches would surely protest.
Even without Durandal and Rita, the Far East Branch still had three S-Rank Valkyries.
However, among these three S-Rank Valkyries, one was already the head of the Far East Branch, and the other two were Valkyries from the Far East Branch who had been promoted to S-rank through normal channels. One could only say that the Valkyries from other branches were not diligent enough.
On the first day of Durandal and her companions' departure.
Kiana was sprawled out in the living room, not playing games, not on her phone, and not even clinging to Mei's side. She just lay quietly on the sofa.
"Kiana, even though we don't have classes now that you're an A-rank Valkyrie, daily training cannot be neglected," Mei said, walking over to Kiana with a hint of helplessness.
"Mei, it's fine. I've been training for so long, just let me rest for one day," Kiana said lazily.
"But didn't you promise my sister when she left that you would stick to your training?"
"Oh, Mei Just one day of rest Besides, my sister isn't here, she won't know I rested," Kiana directly reached out and hugged Mei's thigh, then started to act spoiled.
"But..." Mei still wanted to say something.
She was directly pulled hard by Kiana, "Eh!?"
With a cry of surprise, Kiana pulled Mei down onto the sofa as well, then hugged Mei.
"Mei, just one day of rest~ Look, Sister Ellie and Fu Hua didn't go to training today, so we can rest too, right?" Kiana continued to act spoiled, providing a reason.
Mei then looked in the direction of the stairs.
Today, Aili and Fu Hua indeed did not go to training.
After a sigh, Mei said somewhat helplessly, "But only for today. Tomorrow, you still need to train properly, understand?"
"I knew Mei was the best!" Kiana gave Mei a quick peck on the cheek, then immediately stood up from the sofa.
After pulling Bronya into the living room, she began to provoke Bronya, and then a gaming duel commenced.
Mei merely touched the spot where Kiana had kissed her, then sat on the sofa, gently watching Kiana and Bronya.
Upstairs, Aili and Fu Hua were both lying on the bed, their hands tightly clasped together.
Evidently, they had both entered the Elysian Realm together.
Inside the Elysian Realm's main hall.
Fu Hua simply found a place to sit quietly.
Watching Aili tell stories to Eden and the other Aili, she felt much more relaxed.
"Oh, so besides coming to tell stories, you also came to ask us about Kevin, right ♪~" Pink Aili said, stroking Purple Aili's hair.
"Of course. Otherwise, I'm so afraid Kevin will tear me to shreds the moment he emerges from the Sea of Quanta." As she spoke, Purple Aili shivered.
In Kevin's eyes, their group was the largest Honkai faction.
"Don't worry, even though Kevin is cold, he's very warm-hearted towards his companions, you know ♪~" Pink Aili comforted her.
"Yes, Kevin is the most rational among us. You are all warriors fighting against Honkai. At most, Kevin will give you some small lessons, or directly put you through a trial," Eden also said from the side.
In their opinion, Kevin would not do anything to Purple Aili.
After all, they were all warriors fighting against Honkai. In Kevin's heart, ending Honkai was his mission.
However, "You just said you were also afraid Kevin would directly initiate the Stigmata Project after coming out of the Sea of Quanta, right?" Eden asked.
"Yes, after all, Kevin only delayed the execution of the Stigmata Project because of Su's intervention. When he returns to reality, he might still go through with it," Purple Aili sighed.
With Kevin's strength, if he tied all of them together, would it even be enough for one of his swings?
"I think you're overthinking it. Kevin will definitely give you a chance ♪~" Pink Aili gently pinched Purple Aili's nose.
When Purple Aili turned her head, Pink Aili smiled at her, then continued, "Just as Kevin was willing to be pushed into the Sea of Quanta by Su, that was Kevin's chance to Su, and also a chance for the people of your era."
"When Kevin comes out, you need to show that the concessions Kevin made were indeed effective. Kevin might take a step back, you know ♪~"
After thinking for a while, Purple Aili said, "In the end, doesn't it still mean we have to fight Kevin?"
"If you think Kevin can listen to what you say, you can also talk to Kevin ♪~" Aili narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"However, talking to Kevin also requires a certain level of strength, you know ♪~"
"You basically said nothing!" With that, Purple Aili directly pounced, tackling Pink Aili down, then Purple Aili immediately put her hands on Pink Aili's ticklish spot at her waist and started to scratch.
"Eh?!" Pink Aili's eyes widened, then the sensation from her waist reached her brain, and Pink Aili immediately struggled.
But being pinned on the sofa by Purple Aili, Pink Aili didn't use much strength.
In a short while, Pink Aili surrendered, her body still trembling as she did so.
Logically, she shouldn't be ticklish, but she had just felt ticklish.
Sure enough, in Elysian Realm, as long as someone was by her side, she would be affected, Pink Aili thought, glancing at Purple Aili.
"Alright, now that you're done fooling around, let's continue our previous topic," Eden smiled gently, finding it amusing to watch the two Ailis playing around.
"Just as Aili, um, Miss Pink Elf said, Kevin will give you a chance; it's up to you how you seize it."
"Just like Kevin letting you enter Elysian Realm, this is the chance Kevin gave you, and also for us to see a result."
"Now, you need to show Kevin that you have the confidence to deal with Honkai."
"If you do that, Kevin might put the Stigmata Project off until last."
Eden directly spoke out everything she knew.
In her opinion, everything Kevin did was for a promise.
Although Kevin seemed cold, deep down, he still held a fantasy.
A fantasy that someone could stop him.
Now that she thought about it, she was truly selfish for directly committing suicide back then.
Eden sighed with emotion.
"But no matter how I think about it, facing Kevin, we really have no chance of winning," Purple Aili said with a mournful face.
"Alright, alright, don't be so dejected. Aili's face should always be happy, you know ♪~" Pink Aili sat up and placed her hands on Purple Aili's face.
"Aili will not be sad or regretful. Aili is always happy. Aili is here to bring courage to everyone, so, curl up your lips, come on, smile ♪" Pink Aili said, her finger tracing upwards at the corners of Purple Aili's mouth.
As if to make Purple Aili smile.
"Besides, if you don't try, how will you know the result ♪~"
Looking at the still optimistic Pink Aili, Purple Aili curved her lips slightly, "You're right, if I don't try, how will I know the result."
"Indeed, after confiding in you, I feel much more at ease ♬~" Purple Aili stretched.
Ever since she learned that Otto was going to release Kevin, and Theresa had jumped into what might be part of Otto's plan, Purple Aili's mood hadn't been good.
"We are people of the past. As long as you are willing to confide your worries to us and tell us your stories, you can come to the Elysian Realm anytime," Eden said gently to Purple Aili.
