Then he suddenly took a step back, drew a circle around himself with his toes, and then performed a dazzling set of fighting moves in the small space.
"—This is the Kaslana Gunfighting Technique Sixteenth Form mentioned in my memory earlier. Do they remind you of anything?"
"Uh... I should say it just repeated that feeling of rushing blood."
The giant puppet said
Clearly, he couldn't recall any valuable memories.
But before they could continue their discussion...
Inside the spacious hall.
Countless imaginary monsters emerged, interrupting their conversation!
Yulandel immediately snorted coldly.
"An enemy blocking our way... well, that does prove we're on the right track."
"Anyway, leave this to me."
Done.
Durandal was the first to rush forward.
These emerging imaginary monsters were quickly dealt with.
And after the battle.
Follow the direction in which the monsters appeared.
Just as Durandal had said.
The two found the device they had seen before.
"Based on my previous experience, this type of device should be able to take us to the next space."
"I'm sorry, you've been doing all the work, but I can't recall any valuable information."
"The path we are walking now may be the one left behind by your past self. So follow it forward, even if you can't find your memories... I believe it will allow you to become your complete self again."
"Wow, you're amazing... I always felt you were very good at motivating yourself and others while remaining rational."
"I was just quoting something someone had said to me before."
Yulandel smiled slightly.
"That person said this: Self, humanity, world, universe, their meaning cannot be measured by outcome. All life in the world begins in nothingness and disappears into nothingness. But the path we walk on every moment determines the meaning of each of our lives."
"So, although it is regrettable to forget the way we came, as long as we still understand the direction we are heading, the past will surely play a silent role behind us."
"Is it good to walk the path you're on every moment well? It's certainly a good goal, not too far away, but definitely not easy either."
"After all, there are many people who could have gone to very far places, but ended up living the life I have now."
"What are you talking about? Life is about moving forward. Forgetting who you were in the past doesn't mean you'll lose your future."
Durandal encouraged her.
The doll seemed to be touched as well, its previously dejected expression becoming more encouraging.

Just as the two passed through the device...
The scene was enveloped in pure white.
It seems to be another memory unfolding.
And this time!
What it presents is a scene that Durandal is extremely familiar with!
The roar of the engine gradually subsided. In the girl's memory, the unique, crisp air high in the sky was stimulating the sensitive nerves on her nasal mucosa.
(This is the floating island...the central area of the Destiny Headquarters.)
(Come on, Valkyrie entrance test, I'm ready! Go for it, Bianca!)
While pondering, Bianca nearly bumped into a figure.
Hey! Watch your back!
And ahead.
Rita turned around and apologized gently.
"Oh, excuse me, do you need any directions?"
"Guides? Okay, that's not wrong—I need to report to area A51, do you know how to get there?"
"You're here to take the Valkyrie entrance test, right? Turn right ahead and walk straight down that corridor. You'll find area A51 on your left or right."
"...Thanks!"
"You're welcome."
Rita responded with a smile.
But soon, he called Bianca back.
"Wait a minute. This is left... that's right. You've accidentally gone the wrong way."
"Uh... I, of course I know which way is right! I'm just... looking around here!"
"Pfft. If you don't mind, how about I accompany you to area A51? I just remembered that I have some things to take care of in area A52—it's right next to it."
"Hmm... since you're going the same way, I can't just send you away on a whim, can I?"
Bianca looked up haughtily and said.
Rita, however, continued to laugh.
"Speaking of which, you have a really good attitude. Two years ago, when I participated in the Valkyrie entrance test, I was so nervous that I couldn't even speak properly."
"Is it really that big of a deal? It's just an exam!"
"Because I was afraid of letting my family down. They even put aside their own shops and came all the way from England to come here with me."
"Okay... if that's how you see it, then I guess I'd say I turned misfortune into a blessing? After all, I've been all alone like this since I can remember."
"I'm sorry... I didn't expect this topic to develop this way."
"It's alright! I can take care of myself and have no problem living in this world—so why should I envy others?"
[Rita: This is... when Lady Durandal first arrived at Schicksal Headquarters!]
[Ningguang: So Miss Bianca has been this independent since she was little...]
[Qin: Sigh... What an understanding child.]
[Amber: Indeed...it seems that Lady Durandal has always had this mindset since she was little!]
Silver Wolf: Proud yet strong.
[Keqing: Rita is so gentle, waaaaah!]
[March 7th: This couple is so adorable! They should stay together forever!!]
Paimon: Rita and Durandal are indeed a perfect match!
Durandal: Cough cough... What are you... saying...?
reality.
Durandal looked at the chat group, her face slightly flushed.
It wasn't because of the audience's praise and admiration for her.
Instead, it was those strange and unusual statements...
Rita was indeed her partner for many years... or rather, her best friend.
But the wording about "a pair" is so strange!
More importantly.
Rita must have seen it too!!
And in the picture.
Durandal herself watched all of this unfold.
I revisited fragments of my memories.
But I had even more feelings.
"This is...my first encounter with her."
"Although we didn't know each other at the time... a strange fate eventually brought us together through that mission in the Sea of Quanta."
"After that, we became S-class Valkyries once again and formed the Undying Blade together."
Looking back, it's amazing how far I've traveled without even realizing it...
And aside.
The puppet also asked
"Later, she and you became very good friends, right?"
"Yes, that was the starting point of my Valkyrie career. Although it was a bit chaotic at the beginning, it is something I cherish in retrospect."
Durandal said with a smile.
But then I suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Wait...why does your voice sound different?"
And then he turned to look.
The original giant white doll.
But now it has turned into several!
"Idiot, it's because we're not him from before!"
"He's different from us; he's a direct remnant of someone's consciousness..."
"During his imprisonment, that person always longed for his family... and we are the embodiment of that longing."
"He has been so severely damaged that he doesn't even realize that his way of existing in space is different from yours."
"But he unconsciously brought us here. Perhaps he hoped that we could take his place and accompany you on the rest of your journey."
After being explained by three dolls of different colors.
Durandal also realized something.
"So... you and him, simply put, all come from someone's memories?"
"Yes, this is the entangled gap of imaginary space, the shadow left by his countless challenges to himself and his repeated failures."
"Of course, because of your presence, your own part has also been mixed in. For example, the sanatorium just now."
Durandal: "Are you saying that there is some connection between him and me?"
"Yes, the illusion you just left was originally his last remaining memory, a re-enactment of that home—"
"But because you suddenly barged in, your consciousness changed it to resemble a sanatorium."
I overheard what the puppets were saying.
Durandal also fell into deep thought.
"Imaginary space...a creation of consciousness...changes with memories?"
"Are you saying that the place I'm in right now is actually someone's Stigmata Space?"
"Yes and no. It should belong to a cursed family, to the mark left by that bloodline at the beginning of its origin."
"Therefore, we suggest you continue searching for those lost fragments of memory. The more you find, the more we can recall."
"thank you all."
