"Hmm... Herrschers... Herrschers... There is no need to worry too much about the Herrscher of Sentience, but the Herrscher of Ice..."
Snow's fingertips tapped the armrest of the Divine Seat, seemingly a bit troubled...
"My Lady? What's wrong with the Herrscher of Ice? According to my observations, that Anna Schariac is just a very ordinary Schicksal A-rank Valkyrie, with nothing special about her..."
"She is indeed very ordinary... But our recent actions seem to have displeased a certain Will of Honkai—"
The blonde girl's eyebrows twitched as she faced the pure white humanoid figure that appeared before her Divine Seat, wearing Otto's appearance... Snow Apocalypse, leaning on the Divine Seat, looked at the Will of Honkai that had suddenly appeared in front of her.
"The Herrscher of Ice?"
The girl took the initiative to name the reason for the god's visit...
Upon hearing this, the pure white figure nodded, then crossed its hands in an X-shaped gesture of denial, and subsequently shook its head at Snow.
"Fine, I understand... I will not interfere with that Herrscher of Ice and the Herrscher of Stars—"
Having received the promise of her colleague, the Honkai Will nodded in satisfaction and vanished from Snow's presence.
"As you can see, He is not pleased."
Snow shrugged at the little ones in her arms...
However, the young Honkai Will forgot one thing—

"Don't let me interfere... In other words, as long as it isn't me, it's fine, heh heh heh—"
Snow revealed a smile of a successful trickster.
"Kiana, oh Kiana... Please don't disappoint me—"
"My Lady, is playing like this really okay???"
Huginn watched Snow muttering about a certain white-haired knight princess, and after thinking about the Will of Honkai who had just come to complain, her lips couldn't help but twitch.
"What's wrong with that...?"
Snow glanced strangely at the Apostle in her arms and pinched her small face.
"Kiana is the Will of Honkai's Herrscher. She has absolutely nothing to do with me. Whether she knocks the Herrscher of Ice and the Herrscher of Stars flat or takes them along with her as they 'run away from home'... that's all just the Honkai Will's own internal family dispute."
"We haven't interfered at all, so it has absolutely nothing to do with us. Even if there is an aggrieved party seeking the debtor, the Honkai Will who is the creditor can't find us."
The God explained to her Apostle as if it were the most natural thing in the world, completely washing her hands of the entire incident.
"Hmm, it seems to be reasonable after all."
Huginn nodded thoughtfully.
"So, my Lady, what are your next plans or arrangements?"
Having put the Honkai Will's problems behind her, Huginn looked at her Creator, waiting for her orders...
"Plans, huh? Schicksal is going to open the Gate to the Tree of Narrative in Old Nagazora City... Perhaps we can take this opportunity to go down and take a look..."
Tapping her fingertips on the armrest of the Divine Seat, Snow decided on the next course of action...
"I have still found no time to attend the invitation from that Mr. Kevin Kaslana."
"The Elysian Realm... Muninn—"
Muttering about the Elysian Realm within the World Serpent Base, Snow seemed to think of something and called out to the Apostle who had fallen asleep in her arms.
"Haaaah—Huh? Is it dawn already... Good morning, Lady Snow."
The awakened Muninn yawned and greeted the blonde girl...
"Good morning, Muninn... You mentioned earlier that Kevin is now taking Pardofelis on a tour of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, and he doesn't plan to go back to work, right?"
"That's right, my Lady."
Muninn rubbed her drowsy eyes and replied, seeming to intend to doze off in the girl's arms for a little while longer...
"So... I need to recall a heavyweight figure to make that irresponsible ancestor Kevin feel a burning sense of urgency, huh?"
The girl tilted her head in slight distress...
"My suggestion, Muninn, is that MANTIS named Kalpas. Mr. Kevin would probably feel a burning sense of urgency immediately, wouldn't he?"
"That might be more than just a psychological burning sense of urgency... Muninn."
"That ancestor might actually get his rear end physically burned..."
Thinking about her impression of Kalpas, Snow rubbed her hands together in some hesitation...
"And if it's him... we might not find him that easy to communicate with... After all, he's really short-tempered."
Although the girl was somewhat tempted, the trouble of communicating with the hot-headed Kalpas made her lose the desire to take action for a moment...
"Hmm... It's not impossible, but if we do that, we'll have to go recall another warrior first..."
"If that's the case... My Lady, you'll probably need to go to St. Freya Academy and retrieve that twelfth divine key that's been mothballed, Jizo Mitama."
Huginn, having seen through her Venerable God's thoughts, cut into the conversation to remind Snow.
"Hmm... The twelfth divine key... That Miss Rin, huh... Alright, let's do it that way..."
The girl nodded, revealing a faint smile... What kind of interesting scene would it be if Erosion fought Erosion?
"So why don't you just pull all thirteen of these guys back from history, My Lady?"
Muninn looked a bit confused as she gazed at the Venerable God holding her.
"Because there are some Heroes who aren't exactly the law-abiding type... Let's spare Kevin and my other self a few blood pressure spikes for now..."
Snow shook her head, finalizing the next steps of their journey...
"Besides, if I loiter around in front of my other self, it will help push that plan forward... After all, pressure is the only way to be efficient."
Thinking about how she would look appearing openly before Imhotep, a delighted smile couldn't help but spread across the girl's face.
Meanwhile, in the Prime World, Imhotep, who was teasing a certain blue six-legged cat-worm, suddenly felt a chill run down her spine...
"If it's on the way, we might even go see that Herrscher of Sentience... She's bound to be an interesting child."
"Then it's decided... Also, Old Nagazora City... It's truly a place worth reminiscing about."
"I wonder how many old acquaintances I'll run into this time... Hmm, and the Guardian of the Imaginary... Since we're sneaking out, it's best if Schicksal releases as many God Constructs as possible when they open the gates... That'll be the perfect cover."
The blonde God began to carefully select which God Constructs to release later to draw attention.
