HI3: I Don't Want to Be a Valkyrie

Standing on the shore, I gazed into the distance, seeing only a vast expanse of whiteness. The sea merged with the sky, blurring the line between water and air.

In the distance, the sea, under the radiant sun's illumination, resembled scales of fish resting on the surface, or like playful children constantly leaping towards the beach.

In this secluded stretch of beautiful coastline, a blue figure suddenly appeared on the sea surface as if from nowhere.

Dazed and disoriented, the figure promptly plunged into the ocean.

Gurgling sounds echoed in my ears.

The sensation of suffocating hit me before I could even process where I'd materialized. Instinctively, I began flailing towards the surface, expelling a mouthful of salty seawater.

"Motherfucker..."

Floating on the sea, I caught my breath for a moment, then couldn't help but start spewing curses.

I looked around - somehow, I'd been hurled straight into the ocean. This was really getting old...

Fortunately, I wasn't in the deep sea but right by the coast. The sandy beach was just a short swim away.

I hastily paddled to shore and collapsed onto the sand, resting for a good while before finally feeling human again.

As I stood up, I took a good look at my new body. My height was now about five feet seven inches tall - no longer a little girl! This change was quite pleasing to me.

My long white hair, reaching down to my waist, was tied back in a braided style. I was dressed in a set of purple-blue garments along with dark gloves.

Next, I retrieved a mirror from my inventory and gazed upon the familiar yet beautiful girl reflected within.

The mask perched on her head resembled a crow's beak. Despite her undeniably northern European appearance, there was an Asian flavor about her—a fusion of Euro-Asian aesthetics.

Unlike typical European beauties who were striking to native eyes but unremarkable to Asians, this girl stood out to both continents.

This young woman... was none other than... our dear Bishop Otto's lover—one he'd dreamed night and day to resurrect, even if it meant the end of the world.

Kallen Kaslana!

While Bishop Otto truly loved Kallen, the feeling wasn't mutual. Little did Kallen know that her childhood friend harbored "deep affection" for her.

Miss Kallen, beautiful as she was, merely saw Bishop Otto as a confidante—a very close friend.

However... the girl before me now wasn't the real Kallen, but rather... a part of her entity.

"Initial S-rank Valkyrie: Sixth Serenade!"

The young girl muttered to herself, pondering her current form.

Sixth Serenade, also known as Ice Kallen, Night Serenade, or Fickle Kallen.

As a Valkyrie wielding ice powers, she was called Ice Kallen. Much like Memento, she could be termed Ice Yae.

Fickle Kallen...

Unlike Kallen's other Valkyrie armor, Sixth Serenade... was incredibly flirtatious. Moreover... her voice and demeanor were entirely different from usual.

It was almost artificial...

Despite this, the girl still loved Ice Kallen's voice. It was truly... alluring.

"In other words... Now I'm considered one of the Kallens. So... Lord Otto... After working for Schicksal for so long without a single day's pay, if I demand wages using Kallen's body, he should give me something, right?"

The thought suddenly struck her...

"Wait, now that I've become Kallen, asking Lord Otto for wages is too petty. That's not ambitious enough. Perhaps I should..."

Her eyes flickered with a new idea.

She placed her hands on her chest, now possessing the beautiful Miss Kallen's endowments. Though perhaps not matching Yae Sakura's, they were certainly ample.

Just as the maiden was about to do something to Kallen's body, she suddenly stopped.

Although she had always wanted to give Master Otto a taste of... color, wouldn't it be too perverse to perform such a twisted act on her own body?

Shaking her head, the girl forced herself to calm down.

"Ugh, what am I thinking... let's see what kind of world this is first."

A little clearer-headed, the girl finally opened the quest.

"Honkai World... The Far East... Yae Village, Shinano..."

Gazing at the main quest, the white-haired girl couldn't help but stare, dumbfounded. She had actually... arrived in the Honkai World.

And in the year 1509, no less...

The year 1509 was a Ren Wu year, known as the Year of the Dog. In Shenzhou, it was the ninth year of Zhengde reign under Emperor Wu of Ming. In Dongying, it was the sixth year of the cultural era established by Emperor Bunna of Japan.

The destined meeting between Yae Sakura and Kallen... occurred during the sixth year. Which means we're now five years before their first encounter.

The girl wasn't entirely sure about the exact date of Yae Rin's ritual sacrifice. After all, she had never paid attention to such details before and had never witnessed them.

And the task's gentle reminder wasn't off the mark...

Due to Mihoyo's frequent meddling, the timeline of the Honkai World was unstable and could not be entirely relied upon.

However, since she'd arrived here, she was determined to save Yae Sakura's sister, Yae Rin.

"The year 1509, huh..."

At this time in the Far East—what we now call Japan—it should be the Age of Warring States...

A period of feudal lord conflicts and battles across the land.

"Before that, I should probably dry my clothes first," the white-haired girl muttered, eyeing her soaked garments with a frown.

She never could have imagined the system would be so cruel, dumping her right into the ocean.

If not for her quick reflexes, she might have become the first Valkyrie to drown in seawater.

The maiden searched the vicinity and found a few trees. She then produced a sharp, large sword, and chopped them down. Next, she brought out a fire angel to start a fire.

After ensuring no one was nearby, she set up a barrier and then undressed completely.
