However, to Otlinde's great surprise...
It's useless, completely useless.
"That is.....?"
Otlind stared at the exoskeleton remains.
There, around the silver skeletal remains, was a field made of emerald green crystals—it hadn't been like this before.
When Otlind tried to analyze the emerald green crystal...
She found that she couldn't analyze anything.
Because crystal is completely incompatible with the existing materials on Earth, it is an alien object that does not belong to Earth.
Reject the mystery of this planet.
To brazenly invade the world itself.
This shows that their brother-in-law is not so simple, much less an ordinary human being.
"Otlind, do you still want to continue?"
Brunhilde asked her.
Currently, Otlind is the only Valkyrie capable of fighting.
The outcome of the battle was almost immediately apparent.
“Brynhildr... Sister... I don't understand... Even now, I still don't understand.”
Otlind looked distressed.
At this point, she had lost all will to fight.
Seeing her two older sisters lose their Valkyrie rationality and descend into an irreversible rampage.
—How terrifying emotions can be.
The elegant and earnest Slud abandons her reserve, while the lively and cheerful Hilde falls into a state of despair.
It is precisely because it is incomprehensible that it is terrifying.
"You're scared, aren't you? You are..."
Compared to things that can be seen and touched, emotions are indeed far too complicated for us Valkyries.
So, it's okay if you don't understand. Confusion and growth are part of life. Just keep going, stumbling and hesitating, to unravel this misunderstanding. One day, everything you've accumulated will give rise to your own answer.
Brunhilde spoke earnestly to Ottlin.
At the same time, Yao chimed in, "Don't worry too much. In the past, you might have risked going down the wrong path."
But now that Brunhilde and I are here, you don't need to be afraid of making the wrong choice. Even if you do, we will help you correct it.
"......"
Otlind fell silent.
She really couldn't understand Brunhilde's words.
I don't understand that this needs to be resolved.
However, Yao and Brunhilde saw it as a good thing, allowing her to move forward despite this confusion.
When Yao finally said he would cover for her.
For some reason, Otlind didn't feel particularly resistant; in fact, a warm feeling welled up inside her.
The temperature of my cheeks also rose.
No one had ever said such things to Otlind before, and this was the first time she had ever heard of such a way of life.
[Completely...just like a human.]
Many humans spend their lives in regret and confusion, but the Valkyrie, being an automaton, is the complete opposite.
It was created as a tool from the very beginning.
They are divine weapons meant to face Ragnarok, and they only need to live for that purpose.
“Otlind, if you really want to understand, the easiest way is to find the one you love first.”
Brunhilde said with a smile.
However, when I heard her say the word "love".
"....like?!"
Otlinde's thoughts became even more confused, and her flushed face turned as red as an apple.
Soon, thick white smoke billowed from the top.
This is for a Valkyrie who has only recently come to understand emotions.
That was a bit too extreme.
Not only did Otlind's thoughts freeze, but her ability to think as a Valkyrie also crashed.
"Ah, I really miss those days... I was so awkward and immature back then... it's all part of my embarrassing past."
When my sweetheart and I first started dating, we were pretty much the same as you guys. Ignoring other people's feelings, I only cared about fulfilling their expectations, and even got hurt in the process. Hehe, in the end, my sweetheart gave me a good lecture, which I still remember vividly….”
“Brynhildr, it wasn’t just you who made mistakes back then, I did too. Fortunately, you didn’t go down the wrong path.”
"That's all thanks to you, darling..."
Brunhilde and Yao met each other's burning gazes.
Now she understands why Yao rejected her at the beginning, and why he lectured her like that.
If you don't lecture her.
I'm afraid she'll end up like Slud and Hilde, piling up her inner emotions like a stockpile of explosives.
It finally erupted completely one day.
To make a self-destructive, wishful act of sacrifice.
—The prerequisite for being loved by others is to first know how to love yourself.
This was the first thing Yao taught her.
Seeing her sisters suffering from emotional distress, Brunhilde gained a more direct understanding of this principle.
Just like what Yao gave her.
Now, Brunhilde will also teach this lesson to her sisters who are confused by their relationships.
Only in this way can we prevent them from going down the path of self-destruction.
At this moment, Brunhilde also realized the earnest advice that Yao had given her back then.
Her gaze towards Yao softened even more.
Meeting Yao during that dull period was Brunhilde's greatest fortune after awakening.
Chapter 137 Its Name is Jealousy [Please Subscribe! Please Give Flowers!]
Valkyrie is trapped in darkness, losing consciousness.
They remembered for the first time what they had lost long before Ragnarok.
The Valkyries are a unified whole.
The bond between sisters is like that of pure, flawless ice crystals; this dependence has existed in their hearts from the very beginning.
It won't burn them like a passionate fire.
Instead, it is something more stable, gentle, and mild, like the morning sun in spring.
However, now that we've finally met again.
Their sister Brunhilde, however, defied this rule and took the initiative to embrace someone whose feelings could change her own.
That relationship that caused them so much suffering over the past century.
It's like Ragnarok, where we have to face the prospect of losing our older sister once again.
This is degenerate for a Valkyrie.
It causes performance to suffer wear and tear.
That's what the Valkyries originally thought, but when they actually saw Brunhilde and Yao interacting, they realized that the situation they had imagined did not occur.
Brunhilde, who is in a loving relationship with Yao En.
To my beloved older sister.
At that time, her gaze and smile were so happy, her smile as warm as the spring sunshine.
Seeing my older sister like this...
The bewildered Valkyries were terrified and trembled involuntarily.
Because Brunhilde was just too beautiful.
It was a dreamlike bliss that seemed unreal.
This is a look that Brunhilde has never shown before, when she was still a member of the Valkyrie.
That's what brings such a happy smile to my older sister's face.
They are not relatives.
Instead, it was that despicable man, whose origins were completely different, who was infuriating and unforgivable.
Meanwhile, the Valkyries are captivated by their sister's happy smile.
The thought of getting closer to him couldn't help but arise in his mind.
Imagine yourself in Brunhilde's shoes and imagine yourself wearing that happy smile.
Ah, emotions, how terrifying.
When they realized they had such thoughts, they also realized, beyond redemption—
As a result of Valkyrie becoming impure.
They are broken Valkyries.
Just as Brunhilde said.
They had long ago developed human emotions and hearts, but they had been avoiding this fact.
My heart is consumed by the flames of emotion.
Therefore, they couldn't simply let go of their resentment, and ultimately, they turned violent and activated their Noble Phantasms.
This is a feeling that belongs only to them.
Unlike Brunhilde's dazzling, jewel-like emotions, theirs were far uglier and more repulsive.
It is precisely the factor that is etched into the original sin of mankind.
Its name is—jealousy.
...........
The two Valkyries awakened.
As soon as they opened their eyes, they found themselves lying in bed in an unfamiliar environment.
"You're awake~?"
There was one person whom Hilder and Slud were familiar with.
That was Brunhilde, sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, as if she had been waiting there for the two women to wake up.
"Sister Brunhilde...?"
Slud and Hild realized what was happening.
All they could remember was being knocked down by Yao and falling into a coma; this was their latest memory.
The surrounding walls and floors are made of wood.
