Lin Nai closed his mouth.
So fierce...
It was the first time he had ever seen Durandal this fierce...
Whoa.
She really was angry.
But that made sense.
After all, he had indeed left a deep mark in Bianca's heart back then.
"Open this golden barrier!"
"..."
Lin Nai dispelled the Zetton Barrier.
Bianca punched Lin Nai, reining in her strength the moment it landed.
It was a light, powerless punch.

Durandal panted, her chest rising and falling without pause.
"I just... thought it would be better if you let it out."
Lin Nai's gaze drifted.
His mind raced as he considered how he was supposed to explain surviving the self-destruction to Bianca.

She reached out and lightly punched his chest again.
"Asshole!"
"Yes, yes."

The Valkyries who had been watching the show from nearby all had question marks appear over their heads.
Wait.
Weren't you two having a great fight just now?
How did it turn into
