6 AM.

🔇 N/A

The girl finished her warm-up, and turned off her personal fitness training device.

🔇 N/A

The device had been created nearly half a century prior, originally designed for astronauts. It included an air-pressurization system that could simulate a low-gravity environment.

🔇 N/A

Some years later, a Valkyrie at HQ pulled this aging but unusually durable device out of storage, and began to use it in morning exercises.

🔇 N/A

That Valkyrie's name was Ragna Lodbrok. She was one of the reasons the girl chose to become a Valkyrie.

Her tactical training complete, the girl entered the simulated environment generated by Sumeru, and capped off her morning exercise with some meditation.

🔇 N/A

And today, her meditation was accompanied by Divine Key: Abyss Flower.

🔇 N/A

This powerful weapon, reserved for the strongest of Valkyries, had been given to the girl 3 years earlier by the Overseer himself.

🔇 N/A

She had broken multiple records and became the youngest Valkyrie in history to reach A-rank and S-rank.

🔇 N/A

Gradually, she became the most trusted second-in-command on the battlefield.

🔇 N/A

Yet, in her heart, the girl had a lingering sense of dissatisfaction.

🔇 N/A

The uneasiness wasn't about the lifestyle she lived.

🔇 N/A

She understood well that from the moment she joined the Valkyries, she would live a certain kind of life.

🔇 N/A

She would carry the fate of the masses on her shoulders, and fight tirelessly for all that is good. She would spill her blood without hesitation.

🔇 N/A

The girl had accepted all of this. You could even say she learned to thrive in dangerous situations.

🔇 N/A

But the older she got, the more she had to face an uncomfortable realization...

🔇 N/A

No matter what values you hold, sometimes you have to make trade-offs.

🔇 N/A

That is to say, when it comes to bearing responsibility and fulfilling one's duty, sometimes one must take priority over the other.

🔇 N/A

And for the girl in particular...

🔇 N/A

It seemed that everything that she had experienced had been planned out by the Overseer.

🔇 N/A

From her journey to the Sea of Quanta to her encounter with the Pioneers— all of it was ordered by the Overseer.

🔇 N/A

Like Krishna guiding Arjuna in the Mahabharata, he seemingly molded her life with his own hands.

🔇 N/A

The girl was not sure that she could accept such a life.

🔇 N/A

Even though Arjuna was a hero whose name was known by all.

🔇 N/A

And despite the fact that until now, she had never felt dissatisfied with her life.

🔇 N/A

...

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black. >

...

🔇 N/A

???

Bianka, I've returned.

🔇 N/A

A familiar yet unexpected voice shattered the silence of her meditation.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Good morning, Overseer.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Hmph. You don't seem at all surprised.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Not surprised that I came back, and not surprised that I called you by your old name.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Why would I be surprised about something so trivial?

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Let's get down to business. Do you have a new mission for me?

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Rita and Amber must have given you a report on recent events, even though technically you're a "missing person."

🔇 N/A

Otto

Haha. Your no-nonsense attitude reminds me of the Bianka who had not yet become "Durandal".

🔇 N/A

Otto

Always so serious...I really can't picture you as a little girl.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

...I've always been this way. Whether I'm quiet or talkative, whether I show emotion or not, how is that relevant to anything?

🔇 N/A

Otto

In theory, you're right. But the impressions you make on people also matter.

🔇 N/A

Otto

You might want to approach this next mission with a different attitude.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

?

🔇 N/A

Otto

Because you finally have a chance to live up to the name "Durandal".

🔇 N/A

Otto

Get ready. In half an hour, you'll assist me with an experiment which will attempt to link the bubble universe to the Imaginary Tree.

🔇 N/A

The Overseer laughed, then abruptly turned and briskly walked away.

🔇 N/A

This was typical for the free-spirited Otto. He was in the habit of casually dropping big news like that.

🔇 N/A

The girl had believed that completing the mission she undertook at age 12 might take her whole life.

🔇 N/A

After all, returning the bubble universe in the Sea of Quanta to the Imaginary Tree was no easy task.

🔇 N/A

The world was born from the Imaginary Tree, flourished, withered, and finally disappeared back into the Sea of Quanta. This was a law of nature.

🔇 N/A

But three years ago, things began to change.

🔇 N/A

The Overseer announced the findings of his research on the Imaginary Tree to the girl and her adjutant.

🔇 N/A

From the Overseer's perspective, the girls' personal goals could all be subsumed into his master plan.

🔇 N/A

Then, two years ago, on an autumn day not too different than today...

🔇 N/A

The girl assisted the Overseer in seizing the second Divine Key. During that experiment, they encountered a Project: VALUKA enforcer from the previous era.

🔇 N/A

Ever since, the Overseer had been making rapid progress with his master plan. But even so—

🔇 N/A

The girl never imagined that things would happen this quickly.

🔇 N/A

She remembered their trip to the Sea of Quanta as if it was yesterday.

🔇 N/A

Shakespeare, Miguel, Jimmy, and so many other interesting people...she wondered how their lives were in that other world.

🔇 N/A

Dr. Schrodinger and Shigure Kira...were they still wandering somewhere in the Sea of Quanta?

🔇 N/A

And what about that mysterious blade, called "Durandal"...

🔇 N/A

The Overseer creating a link between the bubble universe and the Imaginary Tree was her only hope to save them all.

🔇 N/A

And she might even be able to discover a new way for humanity to escape Honkai.

🔇 N/A

For the past few years, the girl had tucked thoughts of this lifelong dream into a corner of her mind.

🔇 N/A

She never once thought the chance to fulfill her destiny would come this soon, and this suddenly.

🔇 N/A

The Overseer was right—

🔇 N/A

She should have a different attitude when facing this extremely important job.
