"Haha... At times like this, I'll just pretend someone's listening—when I was little, I never imagined that Kaslana's bloodline contained such a deep curse, the constraints of the Holy Mark, this hellish landscape..."
"But in any case, I believe that we are all helping others and protecting the vulnerable with our own will..."
"Honestly, if Cecilia and the others were still alive... I should be able to face myself with a clear conscience and accept whatever fate has in store for me."
"But...it was you, it was you who left just like the real Kaslana..."
"Therefore, I must encourage myself like this. Even knowing the hope is slim, I will keep telling myself..."
"I must leave this place, I must go back to that child and tell her in person that I am alright..."
"This is probably the greatest comfort I can give her right now."
Siegfried's words were remarkably similar to Durandal's.
But it also made everyone watching feel incredibly sad and moved.
this moment.
Kiana, watching from the screen, was already in tears.
Durandal, the one destined for destiny.
She also wiped her slightly reddened eyes.
on the screen.
Siegfried continued speaking.
"Hahaha, it seems I also have to—"
however.
The voice from afar abruptly ceased here.
Soon, that weathered yet still optimistic face disappeared from the girl's sight.
He is still alive, he still has his own memories, and he is still striving and optimistically looking forward to reuniting with his family.
Although the time was short, and although the other party was unaware of their existence—
The girl felt as if a weight had been lifted from her heart without her even realizing it.
It wasn't because he was his biological father.
Not because you yourself benefited from his guidance not long ago.
Above all that—she was genuinely happy for this hero whose life was full of regrets.
I'm glad he's still alive.
Perhaps he was also pleased that his own blood contained the strength and resilience that belonged to him.
"Oh well, it seems this is as far as I can go."
The giant doll radiated a white glow.
His tone was also filled with weakness;
Are you... going to disappear?
"It seems so. The entanglement between us is getting weaker and weaker—I am about to return to the real him, and you will soon be able to return to the real world. I can't make any decisions for him in the end, but if I could, I would like to still be your family member, to protect you on your path, and to witness the brilliance of your life in the future."
""
Done.
The doll's scent has disappeared.
And it was left as a memento for the girl in the end.
It is a photo that has weathered many changes, yet remains as new as ever.
In the photo, there is a man and his daughter.
Time seemed to stand still in the moment they were enjoying their time together as a family.
""
Looking at the photo of myself and Siegfried.
Her smile was so radiant.
Durandal took a deep breath.
He suppressed all the sadness in his heart.
"No matter what, I will find you—our father—with Kiana."

The depths of the imaginary space.
It was as quiet as midnight.
The girl gazed up at the starless sky, silently processing everything she had just experienced.
She knew that a real battle awaited her return to the battlefield—
But just as she was using Gnius to reposition the Sumeru Mustard Seed.
An incoming call cut in at just the right moment.
It uses a communication channel that is familiar to the girl yet long forgotten.
This reminded the girl of a time five years ago, and of the days she spent with her.
"This is Durandal, please speak."
"Lord Youlandel!"
"Rita, is that you?!"
"Of course, Lady Durandal! Are you alright? Have you encountered any danger?"
"Oh, I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried you."
"Phew...no, I'm glad you're alright."
Rita breathed a huge sigh of relief.
The tremor in his voice quickly subsided.
and this.
This was also the first time any audience member had ever seen Rita so out of control!
It could even be described as panic...
And the reason...
There can only be one!
—Concern leads to confusion!
[Rita: It's good that Lady Durandal is alright...]
[March 7th: Hmm? Rita's voice sounds off!]
[Hu Tao: Yes, yes! This is the first time I've ever seen the ever-calm Rita so flustered!]
[Paimon: Rita is in turmoil!!]
[Luminous: Paimon, you! Why are you speaking such blunt truths!]
[Silver Wolf: Hmm, this feeling seems familiar?]
Durandal: Cough cough cough...
[Otto: Rita does seem to care a lot about "547" with Bianca.]
[Tesla: You dare show your face in the group chat?! You idiot Otto!!]
Otto: ?
And in the picture.
Rita quickly regained her usual gentleness, the ultimate gentleness of a maid.
"So—does Lady Durandal need Rita to report on the current situation?"
"Well, please."
The silly goose didn't notice Rita's unusual behavior.
Hearing Rita's question, she was still somewhat immersed in the wealth of information she had just gained, and subconsciously nodded.
then.
Rita explained to Durandal what was happening in the real world.
"The power of the Herald of Binding? This..."
Durandal was clearly very surprised!
"It seems I really need to hurry back."
"That being said, the right timing is also very important."
Another familiar voice rang out from Grinius. She was the true owner of this communication channel.
Two years ago, she fought alongside two Valkyries, risking her life in the process.
"Dr. Schrödinger?!"
"Hi, long time no see, Bianca."
Schrödinger's voice carried a hint of sarcasm.
“Actually, I had tried to contact you earlier—but Rita insisted on keeping it from you for now.”
"Hmm...she's probably worried that Bishop Otto will see through me easily."
"Hehe, that's great. The trust between you two is truly enviable."
"Alright, let's get back to the point—precisely because Otto is now wielding dangerous restraining powers, you must be especially careful to seize the opportunity when you return."
"Is it because you're worried I'll be intercepted by that power on my way back?"
"That is indeed one of the reasons."
Rita nodded in agreement.
"On the other hand—according to the information I gathered using the Sumeru Mustard Seed, Lady Theresa is likely to use a special method to directly confront the power of restraint."
"That is, the zero rated power of the Divine Key [Judas' Oath]."
Immediately.
Durandal also guessed Theresa's purpose.
"—Does she intend to make the Herrscher powers cancel each other out?"
"It's very possible that Durandal will be affected by both of them on her way back, making the situation even more dangerous!"
"But... I can't just stay here like this."
Durandal frowned.
He understood the danger of returning at this time, but still spoke in a deep voice.
“I was lucky. Although I was once trapped in this imaginary space, because of it, I gained new power and also learned... no, nothing.”
"In short, I believe it is my responsibility to continue the questioning I previously initiated against the bishop."
"After all, this is a responsibility of being a member of Destiny; after all, this time, he may really want to completely deny the whole world."
Suddenly.
Faced with Durandal's persistence.
Facing this destined S-class Valkyrie who wants to stop Otto and protect the world, this is also what she values most.
Rita remained silent for a moment.
