Chapter 55: Let me fight it with your hand
"Report, Bishop, Kirataka has already left the Far East and is heading to London for vacation."
In the control room of Bishop, Amber was reporting the news seriously.
As a key surveillance target, Kirataka's every move is actually under Otto's control.
The recent anti-entropy invasion incident and Kirataka's outstanding contribution in it have made him further pay more attention to this young man.
——Where did he come from? Is there any mysterious organization behind him? How much strength did he hide?
These things are all unknown.
"Traveling from the Far East to London... traveling thousands of miles to go there for vacation, is it to find someone or something?"
Otto shook his wine glass and thought thoughtfully.
It is obvious that the so-called "vacation" is just a cover. He must have his own purpose for going to the UK alone.
But even as smart as he was, there was no way he could infer anything without any intelligence.
Therefore, it is very necessary to arrange for personnel to investigate and obtain intelligence.
Schicksal's headquarters is located in the Mediterranean. Europe is the place that Schicksal has the strongest control over. Schicksal's spies are everywhere, so it is not difficult to monitor Kirataka's itinerary alone.
But, aside from that…
Otto thought for a moment, made a plan in his mind, and asked Amber beside him:
"Amber, has the mission of Durandal been completed?"
As the most powerful S-class Valkyrie with destiny, the blonde girl is either on a mission or on her way to a mission.
Even when she takes a break occasionally, she spends her free time in the physical training room.
Her unique talent and her character of working harder than others have made her a young but extremely powerful S-class Valkyrie.
Even Otto, who was well-informed and had more than 500 years of experience, sometimes had to sigh that the so-called "S-class" was no longer enough to describe the girl, and it would be better to give her a "Durandal-class" instead.
"Durandal has just completed the mission and is on the way back. She will be able to return to the headquarters today."
Amber looked down at the information and then replied.
"It's just right. Let Durandal take a break. As for the monitoring and investigation tasks, leave them to Rita."
The blond man smiled and pressed a communication button, conveying the mission requirements to another S-rank Valkyrie.
......
On the edge of the Thames.
Under the guidance of Judah's Oath, before finding the Cosmic Juggernaut, Kirataka accidentally met Durandal who was also there.
She was wearing casual clothes, a white short jacket with gray edges and black hot pants. She was obviously in a similar state to Kirataka, not in the state of carrying out the mission.
When Kirataka noticed the existence of Durandal, she also saw him.
Durandal stared at his face seriously for a few seconds, then smiled and said:
"Hello, I recognize you. You are Kirataka from the Far East Branch."
"Hello, Miss Durandal, I didn't expect you to know me."
Kirataka nodded and said.
"Of course. You are very famous among the Valkyries."
The blonde-haired girl said with a smile.
——Although not all Valkyries were trained in St. Freya Academy, the fact that the first male student in history appeared in this academy was still something worth gossiping about among the girls in Schicksal.
You know, the last male Knight of Destiny was Siegfried Kaslana, who only existed in the legend, more than ten years ago.
Being in their prime, they were always very curious about such things, so all kinds of information and even photos of Kirataka were spread from one person to another and circulated in the headquarters and various branches through the Internet and forums.
Kirataka covered his forehead helplessly and said:
"If possible, I don't want this fame..."
"But, Kirataka, why are you in London?"
Durandal said with some doubt.
It didn't take her too much time to get here from her headquarters in the Mediterranean, but the distance between the Far East and the UK was still a bit far.
In response, Kirataka naturally brought out a set of arguments that he had prepared long ago:
"I heard Principal Theresa mention the scenery of Europe, so I took this opportunity to come here and look around."
In order to conceal his true purpose, he would also travel to other countries on the European continent for a few days outside of London, just as a real trip.
"Is that so... To be honest, this is my first time in England as well."
Durandal said with a sigh.
At this moment, a female voice came from the side.
"In that case, please allow me to be your guide and take you on a tour."
A light-blond girl also came to their side at this time and looked at Kirataka with a smile:
"Kirataka, we meet again."
"Hello, Rita-senpai."
Kirataka greeted politely as well.
Although she claimed to be just a maid when he first saw her in Hyperion, whether based on the captain's memory in the previous life or as a member of Saint Freya, she naturally knew that the true identity of this maid was one of the only three S-level Valkyries of Schicksal.
Moreover, compared to the straightforward Durandal, Rita, who is always scheming and meticulous, is probably the one who is more difficult to deal with in a sense.
"So, the two seniors, are you here for vacation as well?"
Kirataka asked.
"Well, England is Rita's hometown. The bishop gave us a few days off so that we can travel here and relax."
Durandal explained.
'...Just here for vacation?'
'I don't believe you at all!'
Kirataka muttered a few words in his heart.
Maybe Otto, the suspicious guy, sent these two people to London, also under the guise of vacation, to monitor him.
Well, Durandal might have doubts, but Rita was most likely receiving some instructions from Otto.
It's not like he hadn't thought about the possibility that Otto would send someone to keep an eye on him, so he was very careful along the way, and when he detected the location of Chiba, he only summoned one chain of Judas to search for him.
But he did not expect to run into these two S-class Valkyries.
It was already quite troublesome to deal with the guards of the World Serpent, and now there are two more S-level Valkyries. It seems that his plan to find Cosmic Juggernaut is about to fail.
However, since these two S-class Valkyries with Schicksal happened to be here... it might not be impossible for them to become his "helpers."
A plan quickly emerged in Kirataka's mind—a plan to drive the tiger to devour the wolf.
Use the S-class Valkyrie to fight the World Serpent.
