I Refuse to Be a Valkyrie!

"Those are fox ears!"

"Fox ears? Do fox ears really get that long?"

"..." You'd have to ask Mihoyo.

"Can I touch them?"

"No!"

Chapter 5: You're a Good Person

With Xia Ji leading the way, Yae Sakura didn't have to think about which direction to take—after all, this was an ancient world completely unfamiliar to her, and they were still deep in the mountains.

But carrying Xia Ji on her back, Yae Sakura couldn't move very fast.

Because she was used to carrying her younger sister in the past, bearing Xia Ji—who was even a little lighter than that sister—felt natural to Yae Sakura.

It just felt... she was very light, as if she had no weight at all.

Of course... that wasn't because Xia Ji was truly that light; it was probably due to her current body as a Valkyrie!

After all, with a max-level, SSS-rank graduated Valkyrie's physique, carrying a girl under a hundred jin was hardly a burden.

A few hours later...

"Lord Yae, how about we rest for a bit? There's still a long way to go."

Xia Ji lay on Yae Sakura's back. By now, she had completely trusted this beautiful Half-Demon shrine maiden. If she had wanted to do anything to her, she would have done it long ago.

But instead, she had carried her for so long.

"Alright."

After a moment's thought, Yae Sakura found a place to rest and set Xia Ji down.

It must have been due to the Witch of the Fallen's body. After carrying Xia Ji for hours, Yae Sakura felt no fatigue at all, and she gained a deeper understanding of what an SSS-rank Witch of the Fallen could do.

But... even now, Yae Sakura still didn't know where her strength stood in this world.

If she went by the game, it seemed hard to calculate. If she went by Honkai Impact 3rd's lore...

An S-rank Valkyrie could contend with Herrschers who destroyed human civilization—so what about an SSS-rank Valkyrie?

Yae Sakura dared not imagine it.

After all, an S-rank Mother-in-law could already fight Sirin.

An SSS-rank Valkyrie should have no problem facing the Herrscher of the End, right?

Yae Sakura wasn't entirely sure. Becoming Yae Sakura... felt like stepping directly into her role. Though her mind held the skills and swordsmanship techniques, they weren't something "Yae Sakura" had cultivated herself—she would need to grow familiar with them slowly.

Still, even if she wasn't fully accustomed to it, she should have no trouble dealing with some Great Yokai in this world, right?

She wouldn't know for sure until she actually fought.
