"...I never expected that man to possess such power."
After listening to Theresa's account, Muryotou Himeko could not help but sigh in amazement. Then she looked at Theresa curiously.

"I never expected someone from another world to be this strong."
"And I heard their world is very peaceful right now... If there were no Honkai, perhaps our world
