At the entrance of St. Freya's College.
"Just send it here, sister."
Xier, who was dragging a suitcase and had changed into casual clothes, pressed down her sun hat that was blown by the wind and said, "Sister, you haven't applied for permission to go out, so it's better not to leave the school easily, or you will lose credits. I'll take a car to the airport by myself next."
"The next time I see Xi'er, it will be at the end of summer vacation."
Bronya smiled and said with empty hands: "Sorry, I can't go back with you this time. Say hello to Cocolia's mother, Rosaria, Lilia, and Xing for me."
"Seele will. Sister, please be careful too - don't get hurt by showing off like you did yesterday. I'm also asking Brother Xiachuan to take good care of Sister Bronya."
The second half of the sentence was said by Seele to the little man Natsukawa Tiger who was sitting on Bronya's shoulder.
Xia Chuanhu also gave Xier an OK gesture.
After smiling gently, Xier dragged her suitcase and walked towards the station near the gate of St. Freya's College while waving her hand.
Bronya only withdrew her gaze after watching Seele walk into the car.
[I almost thought you were going to become a wife-watching rock]
Xiachuanhu joked.
[Ready to go find Theresa? ]
"Yeah. Brother, are you going to hide?"
[It's just that I won't appear in front of Theresa. I can control the situation. In addition, I have to say one more thing. Since this is your own decision, don't complain about being tired or in pain in the next two months.]
"Bronya won't."
After calming herself down, Bronya turned and walked towards St. Freya's College.
————————————————————————
There are several teaching buildings in St. Freya's College, and on the top floor of the main cultural course teaching building is the office of Principal Theresa, who is highly respected by all students in the school.
Because she had been notified yesterday morning, she only knocked on the door twice and Bronya pushed the door open and walked in.
"Hiss-!"
A sound as if something was torn apart flashed past her ears like thunder, causing Bronya to tilt her head involuntarily.
Theresa, who was sitting behind the desk with only half of her head exposed, quickly raised the chair under her with a forced smile on her face: "You're here, Bronya."
"Well, Principal...are you feeling unwell? Your face is a little red."
"No, no? I just choked on the water."
Theresa explained, blushing and breathing rapidly.
(Oh, listen to her nonsense!)
In Bronya's mind, Xiachuanhu sneered twice.
(She was reading a comic book over there before, and when she heard you knocking on the door, she tore the comic book into pieces. Tsk tsk tsk tsk~~~ The principal of the school actually slacked off and read comic books during work. If she was still being trained by me, I would have asked her to run 200 laps around the playground.)
(Brother, have you trained the school principal?)
(There's nothing I can do. After all, her weapon was taken away several years ago and has not been returned yet. In order to prevent her from having to fight Honkai beasts with her bare hands, I trained her for a while. I don't know if she has made any progress in the year I was away.)
I don't expect Theresa to come to Xiachuanhu's world, but at least she should touch the threshold or step half a foot over, right? Otherwise, when fighting against Honkai, Theresa will really only be able to OB on the sidelines.
While Bronya and Natsukawa Tiger were communicating in their minds, Theresa, who had returned to normal, started talking about business: "I heard the details from Cocolia on the phone last night. Thank you very much for sacrificing your summer vacation and staying in the Far East Branch as a temporary Valkyrie. This is not something that a child like you should shoulder."
"Because Bronya wants to go further."
Bronya said.
"Besides, Bronya probably won't need to do anything after we go back, and Cocolia's mother also agrees."
When they went back last winter vacation, Bronya and Seele were actually living in the orphanage and it was quite...boring? Although they were busy with this and that every day, and as the older children, they were also given some tasks, but compared with the study life at St. Freya's Academy, life in the orphanage was somewhat boring.
This doesn't mean that life over there is bad, it's just that Bronya now wants to adapt to life here more.
"So, do you have any mission for Bronya?"
"Don't be so anxious, sit down first."
Theresa motioned for Bronya to sit on the sofa first. "Although I hope you can become a temporary trainee Valkyrie, I don't intend to let you face the real battlefield directly. It's too early for you. Besides, real combat is a course in the second half of the second year. Before that, I hope the students of Saint Freya can enjoy their hard-earned youth life."
"As for the mission I'm going to give you - do you know Changkong City?"
Bronya nodded.
Changkong City.
It is a city that has a certain degree of geographical contact with Canghai City. It is also one of the emerging cities in the Far East that has developed rapidly in the past decade. Thanks to the existence of the multinational company ME, Changkong City is now an important region in the entire Far East.
But perhaps because of its rapid development, the collapse incident in Changkong City is also among the most serious in the Far East.
"Last month, there were 13 minor collapses and 2 medium collapses in Changkong City."
"In the month before last, there were 10 minor collapses and 1 medium collapse in Changkong City."
"And this month, in just a few days, four small-scale collapses have occurred—" Theresa said as she took out a document from the drawer beside her. "Although there hasn't been even a single large-scale collapse, the frequent occurrence of small and medium-sized collapses makes the situation in Changkong City worrying."
"Bronya Zajcek, in the name of the Far East Branch Chief, I now specially appoint you as an intern B-rank Valkyrie. Starting tomorrow, you will go to Changkong City to assist the local Valkyries in dealing with various Honkai incidents. The results of this internship will be directly recorded in your official record after you officially become a Valkyrie, and will also be regarded as your special credits."
Looking at the document handed over by Theresa, Bronya stepped forward to take it, and then saluted with a standard military salute: "Bronya Zaychek, I accept the order."
"...If possible, I don't want you to participate in actual combat so early at your age. I've already told you that you'll be mainly responsible for logistics there." Theresa chuckled, as if to comfort Bronya, "Just think of it as a two-month paid vacation in Changkong City. As long as you do your tasks well, I'll consider you to have passed the internship period."
Bronya: "Principal... this should be considered a backdoor, right?"
Theresa: "No, it's okay! I'm the branch manager and the principal! What's wrong with caring about my students and subordinates?"
(It really makes sense.)
Natsukawa Tiger's voice rang in Bronya's mind.
(However, I am not qualified to say anything about her. If it were me, I would definitely make a similar decision. Speaking of Changkong City - you should be careful when you go there, Bronya.)
(A lot of important things will happen there in the future.)
With these words, Bronya's summer vacation officially began.
6. Coffee Squad
Changkong City is not far from Canghai City, as they are both coastal cities and have geographical proximity, so it only takes an hour's drive to get there, not to mention a direct subway ride.
After packing her luggage and spending a day making preparations, Bronya took the car arranged by St. Freya Academy and came to the Valkyrie Patrol Team stationed in Changkong City of the Far East Branch.
"Welcome, Bronya Zajcek."
A coffee shop in an alley in Changkong City.
Bronya was standing in the store, carrying a large bag in her hands and a packed item on her back. In front of her stood three girls who were obviously of oriental appearance. Each of them was dressed like a waitress in a maid cafe. The one who was talking to Bronya was the one who looked the oldest among them.
Of course, if you say she is older, she is actually only about 18 or 19 years old, right?
"I am the captain of the Valkyrie Squad [Coffee Squad] responsible for the collapse of Changkong City. I am a mixed-race girl from Shenzhou and Far East. You can just call me Lin. And these two are my team members, Lily and Nami. They are both native to Far East."
"Hello, Captain Lin. Lily-senpai, Nami-senpai."
Bronya saluted.
Seeing this, Lin immediately smiled and shook his head: "Don't be so respectful, I'm only a few years older than you, rounding it off we are still the same age~~~Besides, we both graduated from St. Freya's College, don't forget the instructions of the principal."
Rather than treating the Valkyries as soldiers, Theresa would rather treat them as ordinary girls.
"Although this is one of the frontline bases, it is also a coffee shop for rest. Just think of yourself as a clerk here and start your life with a relaxed mood. If you don't relax, I won't give you internship credits."
"Bronya knows."
Still unable to fully relax her hands and feet, Bronya nodded stiffly.
She actually has a lot of questions in her mind now.
As if he had seen what Bronya was thinking, Lin walked behind the bar and said, "Well, let's consider it as a welcome gift for the new member. I'll make you a cup of our signature coffee~~~ and I'll also explain the general situation here."
"Lily, Nami, please help Bronya take her luggage to her room first. We have specially prepared a room on the second floor with good lighting for you."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome~~~!"
Lily, who had twin ponytails, smiled and took the luggage from Bronya, while Nami took the bag that Bronya was carrying.
"Captain, Bronya, we'll go up first~~~"
"go Go."
After waving to his teammates, Lin started making coffee.
After sitting down at the bar, Bronya looked around the entire coffee shop: "......This is one of the Valkyrie's frontline bases, right? Why is it disguised as a coffee shop?"
"Hmm? It's just because the three of us love coffee, and coffee shops are more suitable for disguise." Lin laughed, "We can't just hang a [Valkyrie Patrol] sign outside and decorate the place like a secret base, right? The police will come to cause trouble in a minute if we do that."
police?
Bronya looked puzzled. "Bronya remembers that Valkyrie has the right not to be interfered with by any national government agency."
"Ah~~~ Indeed, there are. In fact, as long as we show our Valkyrie certificate or the symbol of destiny to the police, they will not understand everything, but they will still cooperate with the work. But this way, we can't get along with ordinary people, right?"
The second half of Lin's words made Bronya fall into deep thought.
"Bronya, have you ever seen what happens after the Honkai actually happens?"
"I have. Bronya was born in Siberia."
"Wow~~~ That's really amazing." Lin sighed, "Then you should also know that when the collapse comes, no one can stay out of it. And in the face of natural disasters, if we humans don't work together, we will definitely rush towards the gates of hell together in the end."
"In other words, Senior Lin chose the coffee shop as a disguise in order to integrate into the social environment of Canghai City and make Canghai City accept the existence of the Valkyrie?"
Lin nodded: "You understand very quickly~~~Neighborhood relations are very important, look at the painting hanging on the wall over there."
Bronya looked in the direction Lin pointed—there was a poorly drawn crayon drawing hanging there, and it was obvious that it was drawn by a child.
"I saved a child during a minor Honkai half a year ago. The painting was sent by the child and his mother. They said they were very grateful to us. Although our mission as Valkyries is to fight Honkai and eliminate it at all costs, it is also our mission to protect the people in distress."
"If I have to choose between destroying a Honkai beast and protecting a citizen, I will choose to protect the citizen, although the two are not in conflict in most cases - come, the coffee is ready, try it? This is the signboard that allows our store to continue to operate."
9五零⒈八0九0㈨
As he spoke, Lin placed a cup of steaming coffee in front of Bronya.
Bronya took a sip of the coffee and immediately shrank her tongue: "It's hot... but delicious."
"Right? Then, after drinking this cup of coffee, you will officially join our coffee team. Go get your uniform later and start working tomorrow!"
"receive."
"I told you not to be so respectful~~~"
Lin said as he walked into the kitchen.
Bronya took a sip of the coffee in her hand, and then said softly, "This place...is not what Bronya thought."
I think so.
Xia Chuanhu's voice sounded quietly.
[But this is what Theresa wants to see, right? It's pretty good. Although compared with other branches of the Mandate of Heaven, the Far East branch's combat effectiveness and quality in all aspects may be much inferior, but... if every team in the Far East branch is like this coffee team, it can also be regarded as a new breeze.]
"Brother, do you like it here?"
[I just came here, so I can’t say whether I like it or not. At most, I don’t feel disgusted. By the way, since I don’t start work until tomorrow, I will go to Changkong City to walk around in the afternoon and collect information and understand the terrain.]
"Bronya understands."
7. Long empty wall
After seeing the temporary dormitory arranged for her by the Coffee Squad, Bronya applied for permission to go out on patrol.
Of course, the reason was still the same one Xia Chuan Hu told her - to go out to familiarize himself with the terrain and collect intelligence.
Although he was a little worried about a little kid like Bronya being outside alone, she was a Valkyrie after all, so Lin agreed readily.
So after completing her disguise, Bronya came to the streets of Changkong City.
