"Miss Serafall, how did you know?!"
The Valkyrie Brunhilde had not been separated from her and was still by her side, asking with a grave expression.
"If I told you that we had actually already gone through the Eighth Round Battle, would you believe me?"
Brunhilde fell silent for a moment.
"So, under what circumstances did you return to the past? Truly merging into the past—that is, the present?"
