Chapter 178: A Small Misunderstanding
Looking at the exaggerated reactions of the Valkyries around him, Kirataka finally realized that Theresa's decision not to come through formal channels was indeed the right one.
Otherwise, they have to hold a welcome banquet to welcome her arrival.
——Theresa's popularity was indeed beyond Kirataka's imagination.
Maybe he was used to looking at the lazy Teri beside him, but he didn't expect that her popularity in other places would reach such a level.
However, it makes sense. According to the archives of Schicksal, she was a legendary hero who participated in the Second Honkai War against the Herrscher and was once an S-class Valkyrie.
Considering that Siegfried was forced to defect when promoting the story, Schicksal naturally attributes most of the credit to the sacrificed Cecilia and the surviving Theresa.
Such a legendary existence is naturally an existence that is admired and revered by the Valkyries outside of St. Freya Academy.
In short, he followed Theresa without making his presence felt, listening to her communicating with the logistics Valkyries who were in charge of the reception at the front desk of the base.
Faced with the legendary former S-class Valkyrie, these ordinary Valkyries who couldn't even enter the battlefield were a little nervous at first, but when they realized that Theresa was a very friendly person with whom they could communicate well, they became less restrained.
"Lady Theresa, Kirataka, long time no see."
A sweet female voice reached their ears, causing them to turn around.
A chestnut-haired girl in formal attire was standing in front of them with a smile on her face.
Theresa carefully looked at the chestnut-haired girl in front of her, and then carefully confirmed:
"You are... Anna?"
Long chestnut hair is not uncommon, but these blue-purple eyes are quite rare.
"Yes, it is I. You remember me."
The chestnut-haired girl smiled sweetly.
After settling her team members, Anna immediately rushed to Theresa and Kirataka.
Theresa recalled:
"Of course I remember, Anna, I held you in my arms when you were little. I remember you pestered me for..."
Only at this time would Theresa behave like an elder and start talking about the younger generation's past.
As elders, what they like to talk about most is naturally the interesting things that happened in the childhood of the younger generation.
"Ahem, um, Lady Theresa..."
Anna coughed twice, decisively interrupting Theresa's attempt to expose her dark history as a child.
——For a beautiful girl in her prime, the childish mistakes she made in her early childhood are undoubtedly her black history.
"Okay, okay, anyway, Anna, you have grown up a lot."
Theresa looked at the girl in front of her carefully and said with emotion.
It is said that girls change a lot when they grow up, and this is true.
Back then, she was just a little girl... but now she has grown into such a big girl.
Looking at herself, she has not changed at all in the past fifty years.
Sigh...
"By the way, why did Lady Theresa suddenly come to the Oceania branch?"
Anna asked after a brief greeting.
Like other Valkyries present, she was also very curious about why the leader of the Far East Branch, the legendary former S-class Valkyrie, appeared here without any news.
Many possibilities have emerged in the girl's mind. For example, there is some extremely difficult secret mission that she must handle personally, or she was sent here for some special reason...
'Wait, is it... here to deal with Wendy?'
After all, the girl who was now unable to move had, in a sense, become a reserve for the Fourth Herrscher and was a very dangerous existence.
Anna suddenly became nervous.
As far as she knew, the only person in the Oceania branch who could mobilize a legendary figure like Theresa seemed to be Wendy, the girl with the Gem of Desire transplanted into her body.
Theresa thought for a moment and explained:
"…I'm here to see Wendy."
——It is true!
Anna was about to say something when Theresa continued:
"Okay, I'll go talk to your branch chief first."
As she had just arrived, she still had to inform the leaders here of her purpose to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles later.
Without waiting for the girl in front of her to say anything, Theresa left immediately, leaving Kirataka and Anna standing there.
Looking at the girl in front of him who seemed a little nervous for some reason, Kirataka pointed to an empty bench and said:
"Anyway, why don't we sit here for a while before Principal Theresa comes back?"
"Um."
......
"I was originally planning to visit you on Coral Island when I had some free time, but I didn't expect to meet you now."
Kirataka felt that it was fate that he met Anna, who had just returned to the branch base when he first arrived here.
"Yeah, I think it's a coincidence too. Maybe this is fate."
Facing Kirataka, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, although Anna had many things she wanted to share with him, at the moment, what she was most concerned about was indeed how they planned to deal with Wendy.
Compared to her own personal affairs... the safety of her friends is indeed more urgent.
Then, the chestnut-haired girl whispered:
"By the way, Kirataka, can you ask Lady Theresa to let Wendy go?"
"Ah?"
Kirataka was confused.
'? What let Wendy go? What is Anna talking about?'
He and Theresa had no intention of doing anything harmful to Wendy. Theresa simply came to visit this former student, and he would try to think of a way to help Wendy out of her current predicament.
Seeing Kirataka's puzzled expression, Anna realized that her previous guess seemed to be wrong.
So she whispered:
"Could it be that... you and Lady Theresa came here to secretly execute Wendy?"
"…"
Kirataka covered his forehead slightly.
'Should I say that Anna has a very rich imagination...'
He briefly explained to Anna why Theresa had come here unannounced and in secret.
"I see... Lady Theresa is just planning to visit Miss Wendy?"
After listening to Kirataka's explanation of the purpose of Theresa's visit, Anna suddenly realized and resolved the misunderstanding.
"Yeah, that's it."
He nodded.
"Then... I'll take you there later. Wendy and I are pretty familiar with each other now."
Anna volunteered.
"Then I'll trouble you."
He and Theresa had just arrived and were not very familiar with the place, so it would be great to have Anna help guide them.
A moment later, Theresa, who had finished talking with the branch chief, returned to the hall. Led by Anna, the three of them went to where Wendy was.
