Two hundred and ninety-seven.

"Hmmm...... more islands?

It looked like the island was connected higher than it had been before, but that's it. Mira, who cut up the stairs, stepped down to the island at the bottom of it.

"Yeah, I am. That's my purpose!

It was also the gateway to Valhalla. There was a huge gate. Also beside it were two girls wearing simple armor and swords. And Bruce, speaking of, speaks powerfully to those two. How much I want a subpoena with Valkyrie.

Tell you what, this gate is like a final interview. Because lies don't work for gatekeepers, they need to be told only in truth. If you came here with an evil idea, you'd be played here.

Although Bruce looks a little morbid, the fever seems fine because it's real. "Okay, that's good enough," he said, making the gatekeeper girl look troubled, while being approved for passage.

Following such a blues, Mira's turn came. It's just that the purpose of this one is to help Bruce get into Valhalla. I mean, you don't have to go all the way ahead.

Nevertheless, we've come this far around the corner. In addition to a bit of a tourist mood, Mira also advanced in front of the gate because some of them had been concerned for a long time.

"We welcome you to visit"

The two girls stared at Mira and then greeted her with such solidarity. Because Alfina and the others are already the main ones, the final interview is a facial pass. And Bruce was watching Mira, who became such a response. I had such a grin of anticipation that I would be a face pass from now on.

At the end of the gate there was a view that deserved to be described as paradise. Among the bright grasshoppers, the big lake. At its center was a powerful tree.

"Oh... that's more than I was asking..."

Here again Bruce gets another exclamation. The animals were relaxing like they'd never seen before, and there was no alarm when Mira and the others approached. On the contrary, it's enough to come by as if driven by curiosity.

Bruce was interested in animals similar to sheep. Staring at each other earlier. Small animals are also gathering around Mira. If I gave her my hand, Mira smiled blissfully at the way she killed and licked and snuggled up on what it was all about.

And that's what I was doing, and a girl with white wings comes down in front of the two of them. She is a guide to Valhalla. Mira was also the person she took care of when she came here for the contract.

"Welcome to Valhalla"

The little girl with a clear voice like a bell stares at Mira after telling her so. And when I leaned my neck in a tight way, the next moment, I said, "Ah, you are...!," he said with a look that just flashed something and stretched his back.

"You know, when I came here before..."

"─ Look, more than that (...) I guess I'm here to pick up those who will be tested for their contract! Not this guy!

I'm sure the girl was going to say something different than when she came before, etc. Mira, who blocked her from doing so, appealed to Bruce's presence by making sure she stood up. Then the girl turned to Bruce and said, "Are you the one who challenges the trial? asked."

"Yes, it's me. Best regards,"

Bruce, who replied so, broke up with the sheep with regret and walked out in front of the girl and thanked her.

"I'm not just an escort. We'll have to wait for the trial to be over around here."

When Mira says so, the girl only replies, "I'm in awe". And I said, "I'll bring you one trial seeker," no, no, I made sure I could hold the blues, and I flew to one of the neighboring islands.

"Danger, danger..."

It is Bruce who knows Danburgh well. If they talk about bad things, they might get to who they are from there. Mira stroked her chest down first, and now she walked out to change it.

Surrounded by meadows and flower gardens. And there's a forest spreading behind it. The island, known as the Gate of Valhalla, was small at a time compared to the others, but the scenery seemed concentrated for that matter, making it quite spectacular.

Mira moves on towards the woods on such an island. Not only was it overflowing green, but it was also blooming colorful flowers and some fruitful trees. And this time, the purpose of Mira's stay here is to be fruitful.

"This is it. This is it!

Running up to the universe, Mira took one piece of fruit that lived there. Shimmering heavily in silver and sweetly scented, it's called 'Heavenly Princess Peach'.

It is an authentic heavenly fruit that grows only in Valhalla and is rumoured to be delicious enough to rise to heaven. Moreover, it was also a substitute that I had to come here to taste because of the limitation that I should never bring it up over Valhalla.

"Well, how many things"

Mira used to say that when she visited Valhalla. But at that time, the story in a world of games that still doesn't have taste or anything. At the time, all I could get was vitality and mana, and the effect of recovering the state anomaly there, but not now.

Now that it's a reality, it has a definite taste.

"I'll have it!

Open your mouth wide and bump. Moments later, Mira opened her eyes to the texture.

It was like natural jelly. When you eat thin skins, the plump fruit spreads across your mouth and gently dissolves them. At the same time, the flavor of the fruit dominates the mouth and the tsunami-like sweetness pushes in. The taste was as sweet as boiled peaches, then so fine sweet that it seemed okay to be sweeter.

"What a... what a delicacy!

Its taste I even remember to be impressed. Mira, who ate up the pepper, went on to pick a second one. And that's where I notice. The little animals have been following us all this way. Also, the little animals are staring at each other with the kind of eyes they admire.

"Do you want some of your lords?

When I said that and offered them peaches, the little animals arrived with a happy voice.

Even though it's small, when we all eat it, it's quickly gone. Besides, because it's all about the other one each time, Mira also put down the harvested peaches while loving "I can't help it" again.

The appearance of the small animals that roam the peaches is something that will soothe just by looking at them. It's just that that's how I finished eating the fourth, and when I was full, the little animals left from under Mira.

"It's... intelligent."

From the animals, were they just people picking peaches? Mira, so sorrowful, puts her wandering hand on the head of Member One, who summoned her instead, that it was not enough yet with love.

"This is... this is paradise!

Summoned or no, Team One, who was to eat Heavenly Princess Peaches with Mira, was delighted to drown at spoil time, which began abruptly. Mira cutes me and rings my throat as I eat peaches that taste good enough to rise in heaven as well. We don't know what happened, but Team One never cared about it. Not until the little animals come back.

"Oh, what are you guys. What's the matter with you?

"Nha? in?"

What a bunch of small animals who thought they had returned satisfied, somehow gathered again with nuts, berries, etc. I'll see what's wrong with this, Mira. Then the small animals lined them up in front of Mira. And with sparkling eyes, I'm staring up.

"What does this mean for me?

When Mira shrugged in doubt, the little animals rang and answered. Then Team One, who was listening to it, translates the voice.

"Thank you for earlier," he said.

That's how I interpreted Team One, "What was that earlier?" He leaned his neck and looked confused. By contrast, Mira said, it already had a sunny smile.

"That's it, that's it. You went out of your way to collect them!

The little animals who come by again and ride on their knees again. Mira breaks her cheeks at the adoration while enjoying the fruit gathered by such little people. Put Team One aside, which I've been holding back.

"Happened to...?

If you adore the fun and uplifting little animals all over your eyes, Mira breaks your cheeks. In contrast, Team One, suddenly placed outside the mosquito net, did not swallow the situation and stared at it properly. Such a placard on his back said [it was as if he had suddenly even become a transparent cat].

Should boulders be called genuine heavenly graces? The fruits collected for us by Heavenly Princess Peaches and the small animals were so delicious that no matter how much we ate, we never got tired of them. But I can't help but eat too much because of that. Mira, with her tummy pounding and swelling, was falling asleep in the meadows, of course.

"Hmmm... I ate too much..."

With so much whining, I have no regrets at all and look up at the sky satisfactorily. In the eyes are islands that are helically connected to high. What a fantasy sight. Moreover, there were appearances of small animals around Mira who tried to lean in and indulge.

Beautiful girl and little animal lying on the meadow. That was a picture that was going to be a little painting, but it was ruined by the presence of Team One, driven by jealousy next to it and dancing the curse.

And so it was not only Mira, but also the small animals, who slept in relief when they realized it. Mira gently retrieves the comic book, keeping those little animals awake. And until Bruce returned, in the comfortable meadows, he enjoyed the story of a bloody comic book.

Then after a while. A small animal woke up and looked at the sky. I looked up wondering what was going on and something popped up more than a distant looking island.

"Oh... that's"

Something popped up, it looked like a person. Must be Bruce. But I also saw about four other people. Mira, who confirmed it, smiles softly. Bruce said he seemed to have succeeded in his contract with Valkyrie.

A total of five figures descend straight down to this island. And Mira, feeling full and comfortable, greeted it with a generous attitude.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but you seem to have enjoyed yourself for so long."

The figure of Mira, the seeds and skins scattered around her, and the small animals who looked relaxed together. Bruce, who fronted them, laughs somewhere frightened as he steps down. I was wondering if it was already in Valhalla and there seemed to be so many sights of peace.

"If you like it, I'm glad you did."

After Bruce, it was the guiding girl who continued to do so. Everything on this gate island is managed by her. In other words, the fruit that Mira ate was also the fruit that she grew with diligence.

Consequently, permits were required for harvesting and caps were set. This time Mira was eating whatever she wanted, but that was because she had previously taken permission from the girl.

"We enjoyed it with these people. It was delicious."

Mira, who rose from a completely thorough position, says so. Then the girl laughed happily, "It's an honor," she said.

Well, it looks like we got a safe contract.

Although it was no longer the case, Mira, who had corrected her posture and set her face up, said yes to Bruce, turning her attention to the Valkyries lined up behind her. There were three of them there. However, as soon as Mira and I met each other, I stretched my spine so much that this still gave me a nervous look.

"That and this, thanks to Lord Mira for hanging out so far. Make sure you let me introduce you. From the left, Hercune, Ellene, and Lagrinne."

Bruce introduces the three with confidence. In addition to the fact that the memorial was finally fulfilled, probably because it was full of beauties, the face seemed as happy as the husband introducing his wife. By contrast, the three Valkyries said that shortly after receiving that introduction, they stuck their swords to the ground and then knelt before Mira.

"I'm here to introduce you to our sisters. As Lord Jude's ally, we are here to help you advance every day."

I raise my face as Hercune stands for, and I say my vows with all due respect. That was like a knight serving a monarch.

Just that's where Bruce tilts his neck. I wonder what this means.

Contract for the summons of Valkyrie. Mira's relationship with Alfina is now subordinate. But in the first place, this contract started with an alliance-like relationship. From there, by fighting through many battlefields together and through many more trials to prove their strength to them, the Summoner is finally in a position to follow Valkyrie mainly.

In other words, as of now, the positions of Bruce and Hercune and the others are reciprocal. It is somewhat inexplicable, such as kneeling before an acquaintance of such a reciprocal relationship.

But the possibility itself existed, and Bruce also knew it.

Lord Mira, what the hell are you...

Blues with a puzzled face because he knew. And that was then.

"─ What!?"

All of a sudden, seven shadows fell from far above. It came at a rate so sharp as to be misguided by meteorites. Then, to the extent that it leaves some wind pressure, it stops suddenly and descends gently to the ground.

"Oh, Lord! Sorry for the late ascent!

It was the seven Valkyries who came. One of the first to rush to Mira immediately thanked her. The other six also quickly imitated behind it.

Just the way it appears, the seven of us know it's special. Blues was fed by the appearance and action of the Valkyries, who unleashed an overwhelming presence. But what surprised him was that it came from here. Looking up at the sky, where the sisters arrived, the sights of the shadows jumping out of successive islands became visible. Isn't that all Valkyrie and coming to this occasion in unison?

Step down to the perimeter one after the other, and kneel. Moreover, the Valkyries of all the islands were gathering, or if the perimeter was filled, they stayed hollow and stood in a respectful and courteous manner.
