HI3: I Don't Want to Be a Valkyrie

WOO CHAPTER 100! 1300ish chapters left...

"Rozaliya, I'll handle this snake..."

Liliya glanced at the massive serpent behind them, then sprang to her feet. Gripping her great sword, she took a defensive stance, shielding Rozaliya.

Rozaliya stood just behind Liliya, cradling Sleeping Beauty with her tail and keeping a hand on her sword's hilt, ready to assist. But it was clear there was no need for that.

As Liliya braced herself, the giant snake—no, a gigantic python reared back and struck directly towards Liliya.

The instant the python's scales touched Liliya, it felt a sudden, torpid weakness. As if its momentum had been swallowed whole by her presence. Then...

A flash of blue light streaked across the python's body. Liliya retracted her great sword.

The python let out a pitiful scream; a single slash had cleaved it from head to tail, splitting it in two.

Liliya's black tail carried the long blade, which bore only the name "Swan Lake" on its blade—no trace of blood.

"Rozaliya, pick out the best cuts of meat!" Liliya turned to look at her sister.

"Right."

The giant snake had been divided into several sections. The two young girls cut off the premium parts of the snake meat, then continued their journey. However, even as night fell, Rosaliya and Liliya still hadn't managed to leave the grasslands.

With little choice, the pair decided to spend their first night in this world on the plain. They gathered some flammable materials and simply treated the snake meat. By then, the sky had completely darkened, and the moon hung high above.

But...

"Rosaliya, did you know this world has two moons...? One's a dark red, and the other is a dark green. How strange..."

Liliya, holding a piece of roasted snake meat, ate as she and Rosaliya sat back-to-back, gazing at the two magical moons in the sky.

"Yeah! But let's hurry up and finish eating. We should get some sleep! Tomorrow we'll try to leave this grassland and find some intelligent creatures. We need to ask around about the situation."

Rosaliya kept eating, speaking without even lifting her head.

"You're right..."

-

After finishing their dinner, the two adorable twin loli-girls began getting ready for bedtime. They tidied up the surrounding foliage, then snuggled together, each holding the other as they lay down.

Even their tails became entangled with one another, almost as if they felt very insecure.

On the side, the Fire Angel continued to burn its flames, illuminating the area brightly.

-

After an unknown period, Rosaliya and Liliya, who were asleep, simultaneously opened their eyes and looked at each other.

"Rosaliya, there seems to be some movement..."

"Liliya, and it seems like there's quite a number of them." Mimicking Rem-Ram's tone, they softly repeated each other's words. The two twin maidens then released each other and drew their weapons.

Even Rosaliya placed her hand on the hilt of the Holy Judgment at her waist.

As the noise grew louder, they finally realized what was happening...

"Rosaliya, watch out! It's a wolf pack!"

"Liliya... you don't need to say that." Rosaliya responded silently to Liliya's comment.

The twins looked ahead, a large pack of wolves rushing towards them. In front of the wolves, they spotted a human figure being chased.

Or perhaps it was more accurate to say, a little girl.

As the girl and the pack of wolves approached, the twins finally got a clear view... It was a girl with wolf ears and a wolf tail.

Quest Description: A Valkyrie who hasn't truly fought isn't a true Valkyrie. The unexpectedly arriving magic beasts will be your first opponents.

Quest Objective: Repel the magic beast horde (wind wolves)

Quest Reward: Crystals +5, Molotov Cherry and Blueberry Blitz skill levels +1

"A magic beast horde, huh... Not just ordinary wolves!" Liliya said expressionlessly, gazing forward.

"Liliya, prepare for battle!" Rosaliya spoke, and at that moment, her control was canceled. The two Valkyries became one in spirit.

-

The wolf-eared girl glanced back at the wind wolves in pursuit, fear flickering in her eyes. Yet, this terror spurred her to run even more desperately.

She had no idea why wind wolves, creatures of the deep grasslands, would appear at their very edge. All she knew was that she might die.

A searing pain shot through her feet; she felt as though she might collapse at any moment. The wolf-eared girl was running barefoot, her usually fair skin now marred by bloody cuts...

Finally, she sensed her strength ebbing away entirely...

Am I dying? Dad... Mom...

Few people ventured here, especially at night. There was no hope of rescue—surely, even if someone were nearby, they wouldn't risk their life to save hers, not with so many magic beasts lurking about.

Despair washed over her.

Just as the Wolf-Eared Young Girl had resigned herself to running and waiting to die, a sudden cry echoed into her ears, startling her.

"Enemies, become stars!"

In a flash of blue light, all the shadow wolves near her were slashed in half.

The Wolf-Eared Young Girl looked up to find two little girls, about her size, suddenly appeared around her. They wore strange outfits— one in blue, one in pink—complete with weird horns and tails, each wielding a large blue and white sword.

With graceful, almost dance-like movements, they began slaughtering the shadow wolves.

"Vodka Girls, make your flashy entrance."

The fierce wind wolf pack faced an onslaught from these two girls, akin to facing a bloodbath.

As the pink-haired girl swung her sword, the blue-haired girl perfectly complemented her strikes, cutting down the shadow wolves around them.

They were like Valkyries...

(TL Note: (⊙_⊙))

"Could they... be our own Heroes? So powerful! And so beautiful!" As the wolf-eared young girl gazed upon the two Twin young girls, her eyes sparkled like stars.

However... she was about to be stunned.

In the blink of an eye, the blue-haired girl clamped her tail around the pink-haired girl's white tail. With a swift twist, she hurled the pink-haired girl high into the sky.

Up there, the pink-haired girl immediately smashed her head into the ground...

"Rocket Headbutt!"

The earth juddered for several moments. When the pink-haired girl's head hit the ground, she was fine, but it left a massive hole in the earth.

It also crushed a whole swath of wind wolves...

At that moment, the wolf-eared girl's face paled as she noticed the surrounding wind wolves' actions. They were all opening their mouths simultaneously.

"Heroes, look out!"

Just as she finished, more than a dozen wind wolves spat out their elemental attribute - wind energy attacks... Wind Blades!
