Sophia is the vice-captain of the Phosphophyllite Squad, A-rank Valkyrie, and also the squad's strategist.

Although Vita wondered how useful such a so-called advisor could really be with this level of ability...

"Hmm~ Maybe the bishop thinks highly of you, after all, we haven't had any potential S-Rank Valkyrie candidates for a long time."

"Then... shall we set off now?"

"Of course, I'll go with you. Come on, we'll take you there on one of these transport ships."

Transport ships...

Vita, enjoying the air conditioning in the cabin, seemed to recall some memories.

I wonder if I, "Suo," have ever ridden in such a vehicle before?

Hometown... it really is a memory that is quite distant for "Suo".

The only thing that's clear is probably the scene where they abandoned everyone and fled the planet.

Ugh, this feeling of not being able to distinguish myself is so annoying.

"Vice Captain, is there anything we should be careful about when we go to headquarters this time?" Vita sighed and then turned her thoughts back to reality.

"Schicksal isn't some dragon's den or tiger's lair... well, but we should definitely be careful about some of the rumors going around lately."

Sophia nodded, remembering something.

(Thankfully, it was Sophia who came along, not Captain Matilra...)

Vita breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. The leader of the Phosphophyllite Squad was a tough woman who looked fierce but was reliable in both life and on the battlefield. However, such a person... was not suited to using her brain.

—For Vita, who is a specialist in spirit and whose size is close to one-tenth of the Cocoon of Finality, it is not difficult to perceive the personality of an unguarded person.

"For example~?" Vita continued to probe.

"For example, is our name Schicksal taken?"

"...Huh?" Vita was slightly confused. "Um... Vice-Captain, are you missing a subject? For example, someone from Schicksal?"

"No, it's Schicksal —the source of this information is a junior colleague of mine who works at the Unfading Blade."

Sophia sighed, resting her chin on her hand.

"Honestly, has Susannah been corrupted by those bastards? Why is a rich young lady like her so eager to get married?"

"... Get married?"

Vita felt like her brain was going a little slow.

"That's great, Vita, you're a normal girl now." Sophia looked up at the sky. "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that the Unfading Blade group is going to be part of a Lord God's dowry? But the scope could also extend to the entire Schicksal —it depends on what the bishop thinks."

"..."

Your the Awakened One, the One Who Has Enlightened One! You never said this required selling oneself!

"... May I ask, who is the Lord God?"

Although she had some vague suspicions, Vita still asked the question.

"My Lord God ... um... this is probably..." Sophia looked up at the sky again, nervously fumbled for her phone, opened the photo album, and showed it to Vita, "This one."

A photo of a handsome young man surrounded by several women in a cafeteria.

"How is it? Pretty cool, right?"

Was it just her imagination? Vita felt that Sophia's eyes were lighting up.

Vita looked at him carefully... Well, he did look very kind, and she even subconsciously felt a sense of goodwill towards him.

What the heck is this... cough cough, as expected of His Majesty of the High Dimension.

My apologies, I was actually thinking such rude things to myself.

For some reason, Vita felt like laughing again; she hadn't felt this sense of unease that comes with being an "ordinary person" for a long time.

However, this prince's charm is indeed quite deadly. In this composition, a normal person would probably be immediately mistaken for a scumbag who is two-timing multiple women or a popular guy.

However, when it came to this person, even Vita subconsciously felt that it was quite normal for him to have many romantic entanglements.

Vita glanced at Sophia's expression, quickly flipped through the pages, and sure enough, the next picture was also of this "Lord God."

"Hey! Vita, what are you doing?"

"Sorry, sorry, I accidentally swiped it... But this is also a picture of Lord God."

Vita looked confused, then suddenly realized what was going on.

"Eh? Could it be that you, Vice Captain, are a fan of this Lord God?"

"Mmm..." Sophia blushed slightly, and seeing the faint smile on Vita's face, she immediately realized that she had been teased. "You brat! You even dare to tease your senior!"

"Because your reaction, Vice Captain, was just too funny~ I really couldn't help it~" Vita with a smile, raising her hands in surrender. "By the way, does nobody have any objections to this?"

Vita really didn't understand what the Valkyrie was all about, so why was she so interested in hearing about it?

"Hmm..." Sophia nodded her chin. "Vita, do you think Captain Matilra will be able to get married?"

"Hmm..." Vita thought about Matilra's image.

One arm is a metal prosthetic, and one eye is blind. Although they had only met once, Vita could sense that he had many old wounds on his body Honkai Energy.

From a human perspective, once he, the cheap captain, passes his prime youth, he will likely live a life of illness and probably won't live past forty.

The vice-captain in front of him, who appeared to be in perfect condition, was only slightly better off than the captain.

It's just a difference between someone who doesn't live past forty and someone who doesn't live past fifty.

"Okay... putting money aside, the captain's future might indeed be... pretty bleak."

"That's exactly the point. For us, the future is what it is anyway. It's rare to find a man who can make our hearts flutter and who is also approachable. Let's just idolize him. After all, idolizing someone doesn't necessarily mean that the idol will take notice of you... and what if something unexpected happens?"

Sophia smiled. Back then, the bishop was actually quite popular, but unfortunately, many Valkyrie didn't like Otto's way of doing things.

"Having someone to rely on is better than having none... Vita, actually, as long as we do our job well in fighting the Honkai, no one will care what we Valkyrie do, like eating, drinking, gambling and whoring. Of course, most Valkyrie just eat and drink."

Vita nodded in understanding.

Among the Valkyrie are many girls who risk their lives on the battlefield at the age of sixteen or seventeen. If everyone could withstand this kind of pressure, she would exclude Earthlings from the realm of humanity.

Having experienced the destruction of her homeland, Vita understands the casualties caused by the Honkai even better.

Therefore, Vita's attitude towards Earth is inherently more favorable.

Moreover, we all come from the same solar system, so we can be considered "fellow countrymen".

(If it were Saha, she definitely wouldn't have such thoughts, right?)

She was indeed still Vita, the girl who once lived on Venus.

The experience of Suo now feels like an indescribable dream.

(Whether as Sa or as Vita, I've made quite a few mistakes.)

"Don't make that face at your age." Sophia pinched Vita's cheek to bring Vita back to her senses. "Besides, this is voluntary. You can leave if you don't want to be a fan. And we're actually... conflicted. We're thinking about the possibility, but we don't really want that possibility to actually happen."

"...Why?"

"Because of health reasons, everyone knows that even if they retire peacefully, they may not live for long, so no one wants to cause trouble for their idol when they die... Not everyone can be like Senior Lewis."

As Valkyrie, none of them are afraid of death. To put it bluntly, as Valkyrie, who doesn't have a few teammates they have to visit and pay respects to during festivals?

But speaking of Lewis...

Sophia's lips twitched.

Lewis is a truly legendary Valkyrie. As an ordinary person (?), she spent half her life as a top-tier Valkyrie, survived the second Honkai, and emerged unscathed, completely unharmed, and even able to have a child. Moreover, no one is surprised that Lewis can have a child; rather, they are surprised that someone is so powerful that they can get Lewis pregnant...

However, there was no way to explain the difference in physical fitness. Just by standing in front of Lewis and looking at their physiques, one could clearly see the difference in their physical abilities.

That's a truly bear-like physique.

(I seriously doubt that Lewis, who has been retired for more than ten years, could still possess the qualities of A-rank Valkyrie if she put on armor now...)

"Ugh, honestly, why am I talking to a newbie like you about this? I'm such a terrible vice-captain." Sophia slapped her forehead, feeling like she was having a bit too much of a venting session today.

Vita continued to smile; this level of emotional manipulation was completely effortless for her.

"I think you shouldn't be discouraged, Vice Captain. Future scientific research and technology will definitely be able to cure your body."

If the hidden damage caused by Honkai Energy is treated in a conventional way, it will be troublesome.

However, if an unauthorized force intervenes, it will only cause minor damage.

If she weren't worried that a seasoned veteran would discover the abnormality in her body, she would have treated Sophia right now.

Let's talk about this after we've met that Lord God.

On another note, the Awakened One the Awakened One meant by "helping that higher-dimensional being who is playing role-playing in a sleepwalking state to complete the game" is this very thing.

Group 6626 00822 It feels pretty good to be a "priest in a hero's party" for once?

"Then I'll take your kind words." Sophia looked at her junior with a touch of affection.

To be Valkyrie, one must have this kind of beautiful aspiration for the future.

However, Vita suddenly realized something and said, "Wait, could it be that the reason you came with me this time Vice-Captain Sophia, was to use public funds to chase after celebrities?"

Hearing this, Sophia blushed and pinched Vita's cheeks with both hands. "If you keep joking with your senior like this, I'll make you realize your authority!"

Chapter 575 The Pre-arranged Plan

"Things have been piling up one after another lately, they're not giving me a moment's peace..."

After sending the message, Liu Bai sighed.

"Another official matter?" Rita, who was helping the Herrscher of Corruption Alisa try on clothes, turned her head with a smile and asked when she heard Liu Bai's complaint.

"Yes, but it seems... at least it seems alright." Liu Bai sighed. "By the way Rita, are you very familiar with the Valkyrie of the West Asia branch?"

"Hmm...you mean the Phosphophyllite Squad?" Rita thought for a moment and replied, "I'm not familiar with them, but one of their juniors is in Unfading Blade, her name is Susannah."

Although Susannah was relatively unknown among the A-rank Valkyrie of Unfading Blade, Rita knew all the permanent staff at Schicksal Headquarters, so when Liu Bai mentioned her, Rita remembered her.

"Is this matter related to the West Asia branch?"

"It's somewhat related, but it's mainly for entertaining guests."

Liu Bai wanted to use the opportunity of entertaining Miss Vita to get a preliminary understanding of her attitude.

"I see..." Rita looked thoughtful. "But it's hard to say that Susannah has any talent in this kind of thing... I'll go find her. Do you need me to come along?"

"Let's all come together. I'll need Rita to keep the atmosphere in check."

"It's my duty." Rita smiled especially happily, seemingly because she had been promised.

"By the way, hasn't Alisa changed her clothes yet?"

"That depends on which one you prefer," Rita said, turning Alisa around as she was dressed in a black and white maid outfit. "What do you think?"

"Hmm... that's good. By the way, how about adding a leg ring?"

"You've always been quite particular about these kinds of things, haven't you?" Rita said coquettishly as she turned to look for a leg ring in the closet. "I've got it. This white leg ring goes perfectly with black stockings. Here, Alisa, let me put it on for you."

After Rita finished tying the knot, Liu Bai nodded.

"It looks much better this way... but I didn't expect the clothes to fit so well."
