Chapter 39: Captain

After having dinner together, the three of them finally returned to the dormitory building. 

On the way back, Himeko chatted non-stop with Kiana, although Kiana urged Himeko to give her the Theresa gift, Himeko didn't seem to have any intention of giving it. 

Seeing this, Kiana was annoyed with Himeko for toying with her.

Kouro who was watching at the side somewhat understood the real reason why Himeko had not given her the gift. 

The so-called gifts were probably related to Houkai and self-defense weapons that were not suitable for ordinary people to see. 

After reaching the dormitory building Kouro then said calmly.

 

"I still have some things to take care of, so you guys can talk to each other. And also Himeko-nee, you are welcome to stay in this dormitory building for today, it's fine if you sleep together with Kiana. After all, this dormitory building very quiet."

"Oh.. No need, I'll just talk to Kiana for a while after that I'll leave. And also thank you for the previous treat. If there's a chance, I'll treat you back."

Even though Himeko asked Kiana to treat her to dinner before, when they were at the restaurant, Kiana was just enjoying the food and completely forgot to pay. 

In the end it was Kouro who settled the bill for the two of them. 

Himeko has a good impression of this handsome boy, obviously not because Kouro call herself big sister (Himeko-nee). 

"You're welcome." Kouro nodded understandingly to Himeko then climbed the stairs and left Himeko and Kiana alone on the first floor of the dorm.

After confirming that Kouro really left, Himeko then took out two things to Kiana, she pointed at the first thing that looked like a normal watch.

"This is a Houkai energy concentration monitoring watch that looks no different from a regular watch. When the Houkai Energy reaches a dangerous level, it will emit a special sound. Kiana, I hope when you hear this sound you need to immediately move away from the area."

Himeko explained this gadget in sufficient detail, but Kiana's gaze remained on another gift for a long time, Himeko finally introduced the Gift that Kiana was staring at.

"This pair of pistols is a Honkai destroying weapon called [Artemis' Guardian]. This weapon can be used by Valkyrie who can use Houkai energy, this gun's bullet is capable of blowing up the head of a Honkai Beast in one shot. Be careful, unless an Houkai Eruption , don't use it as you please. and also hide this weapon from your boyfriend." 

"Kouro isn't my boyfriend!" Kiana who was staring at Artemis' guardian's focus immediately turned red when she heard Himeko's words, she then quickly replied to Himeko's words in an embarrassed voice.

"Yes, yes I understand." Himeko said with a faint smile when she saw Kiana blush. 

These two gifts were it not for the Houkai eruption that occurred in the suburbs of Nagazora, Himeko would never have agreed to Theresa to give this gift to Kiana, more correctly she did not agree to lend the Honkai Weapon of Destruction.

All the Honkai Weapon of destruction used by the Valkyries were beyond the common sense of human beings, once misused it would definitely bring great danger. 

If it wasn't a specially trained Valkyrie, even if the Valkyrie had the appropriate qualifications, it would be unsuitable to use this Honkai-destructive weapon. 

Kiana happily wanted to take it, But Himeko didn't let go immediately, but instead looked at Kiana and said seriously. "Remember what I said earlier?" 

"I know, I know, I used a gun when I fought Honkai with my father before. Don't worry, I won't point this weapon at anything other than Honkai Beasts and Undead." 

Unlike most girls, Kiana is very interested in fighting and killing. 

After earnestly voicing, Kiana couldn't stop playing [Artemis' Guardian] in her hand, and then she asked curiously. 

"Why did Aunt Theresa suddenly think of giving me a gift like this?"

Himeko immediately wanted to find an excuse to hide the truth, but after thinking a bit she changed her mind, even though Principal Theresa didn't want Kiana to know about St. Freya, Theresa doesn't seem to be hiding Houkai Information to Kiana. 

And judging from Kiana's words, the other party seemed to have been dealing with Honkai for a long time. In that case--

"That's because the Houkai Eruption just happened in the eastern suburbs of Nagazora city." 

"?!" 

Kiana's expression on her happy face suddenly changed, when she heard the Houkai Eruption, she knew very well how terrifying the Houkai eruption was. 

She finally has good friends and also has a comfortable life, Will all these things be destroyed because of the Houkai Eruption?

Last time, her father should have also disappeared because of the Houkai Eruption.

Damn it, why is her happy life always ruined by Houkai.

This time, she vowed to protect Kouro and Mei with all her might.

Seeing Kiana who seemed to be looking worried, Himeko said in a soft voice.

"You don't need to be so worry it was only a small scale Houkai Eruption, and the Honkai Beasts that appeared have also been defeated. Now, Nagazora city is safe, Don't worry even if there is danger, Principal Theresa will definitely not let it happen." 

After a short pause, Himeko continued.

"There's a lot of things Theresa hiding about Houkai information, and she's doing it purely good intentions, because she doesn't want you to know about it, the more you know, the more you may regret it later."

Seeing Kiana lower her head and not speak, Himeko just patted her on the shoulder, and then turned to leave. 

Before leaving the dormitory, she stopped and spoke without looking back. 

"My relatives, friends and partners who fought side by side have all died because of the Houkai. I fought desperately and walked step by step until now, but every time I face the Houkai Eruption, I still feel powerless against it. This world is so Big, when and where the Houkai Eruption suddenly erupted is completely unknown. Kiana, one day when you must face the Houkai, don't even think about defeating it, but jusf think about survive." 

"So, who will face Houkai in the end?" Kiana raised her head, her eyes shining with determination, showing a different character than usual. 

Himeko finally turned her head, and smiled at Kiana, a complicated smile with various emotions such as bitterness and determination.

"It is us, we are Valkyries, people who swear to protect common people, we will fight Houkai to the last drop of blood, so you don't have to worry. Kiana you shouldn't be studying to be a Valkyrie from St. Freya Academy, because of your Aunt Theresa love you very much." 

Himeko finally left, disappearing from Kiana's sight, who was full of doubts because of her words. 

On Outside. 

Himeko looked grieve in the eyes of Kouro who was watching her on the roof of the dormitory building. 

Silently watching Himeko walk out of Nagazora city, Kouro raised his head to look up at the sky where Himeko disappeared. 

There was only darkness at night, and the moon in the sky was not enough to light up the night sky, but Kouro saw strange ripples in the sky with movement in the other direction, maybe those ripples were Battleship Hyperion. 

Seeing that, Kouro imagined himself standing on that Hyperion hearing the Valkyries calling himself captain
