Theresa turned toward the voice and saw a woman with the same white hair as her... but an exceptionally bold and imposing presence.
"You... you're... Patrick. Long time no see, Patrick!"
Looking at the Valkyrie before her, Theresa recognized her. They had known each other before and had even worked together two or three years ago.
Four years ago, Otto Apocalypse ordered the formation of the Valkyrie assault squad Snow Wolf to prevent and suppress disasters caused by Emperor-class and higher Honkai beasts, with S-rank Valkyrie Cecilia as its captain.
