HI3: I Don't Want to Be a Valkyrie

(TL Note: Wait a damn minute...(•ˋ _ ˊ•))

"Time for sleep! It's already quite late. Remember our agreement—tomorrow, you're taking me to the Kingdom of the Demi-Humans," Rozaliya yawned, looking at the wolf-eared loli before her.

I had no idea what time it was, but it had to be late at night. The two moons in the sky had already moved far from their original positions.

"Very well, sir!" The wolf-eared loli obediently nodded upon hearing this.

"Uh-hmm..."

Rozaliya gazed down at Liliya, who had fallen asleep in her arms. Unmindful of the beast-eared girl, she tightened her hold on Liliya and lay down on the ground, cradling her like a pillow.

However... their tails no longer entwined; instead, they rested quietly to the side, still clutching their great swords.

Don't be deceived by their temporary rescue of the beast-eared loli. Rozaliya and Liliya were far from fully trusting her.

If she dared to make any sudden moves, the great sword on Rozaliya's tail would slice her down without hesitation.

But it seemed their worries were unfounded.

In the presence of these twin girls who resembled heroes, the beast-eared loli could only feel admiration and reverence. She lay quietly opposite them, watching with respect.

The Fire Angel Cross in the center continued to burn with red flames, as if they would never be extinguished. The surrounding insects, facing the Fire Angel's flames, dared not approach.

The night passed without incident. When Rozaliya awoke the next day, she found Liliya still asleep in her arms. Not wanting to disturb her, she gently set her down.

Then, she took out the remaining snake meat from the previous day, intending to roast it for breakfast.

As for the wind wolf's meat, she decided against it. Wolf meat was never particularly tasty, and even experienced culinary masters struggled to create delicious dishes with it. Snake meat, on the other hand, was far more delicate and flavorful.

While Rozaliya was preparing the meat, the wolf-eared young girl nearby suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing Rozaliya and Liliya, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

"My lady, you're awake already."

"Yes, come... have some meat first! Then we'll set off!" Rozaliya handed Lila a piece of roasted hima, sprinkled with salt and various spices.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Oh right, I don't even know your name yet. I'm Rozaliya, and this blue-haired girl is my sister, Liliya. Aren't we pretty much identical except for our hair color?" As she spoke of Liliya, a sense of joy and pride filled her tone, as if being the owner of such a sister was a badge of honor.

However, the original host consciousness couldn't help but feel a slight disconnect - It's all me, so why would I feel proud just because I mentioned Liliya?

Well, considering her behavior in the previous two worlds, it must be Rozaliya's inherent otaku-like infatuation with her younger sister, I suppose, I've been influenced by Rozaliya's body now. Instead of repulsion, I'm actually feeling quite good about it.

Sisters are basically myself too; loving myself can't be wrong.

Hearing their interaction, the wolf-eared loli couldn't help but remark with a hint of envy, "The relationship between Rozaliya-dono and Liliya-dono is truly wonderful!"

Liliya and Rozaliya's performance was truly exceptional; they were practically the perfect pair of sisters.

"Rozaliya-dono, my name is Cellinia Texas, and I am from the Lupo clan..."

Realizing that "dono" likely wouldn't know about the Lupo clan, she continued, "You can think of us as one of the demihuman races—specifically, a high-ranking wolf clan..."

The wolf-eared young girl—or rather, Cellinia Texas—was introducing herself to Rozaliya.

"Cellinia Texas... Well then, I'll call you Cellinia! Oh right, based on your name and your appearance... you must be noble, aren't you?" Rozaliya observed the girl before her. Although her face was dirty and her clothes were quite worn-out, she indeed looked like a young noblewoman.

"Of course, you may call me that... As for my status, please forgive me, Rozaliya-dono. The Texas family was once one of the most powerful noble clans in the kingdom of Demihumans. However, due to some unfortunate events, I am now the only remaining member of the Texas family. So, I am no longer a 'young mistress' by any means." A sudden dejection clouded Cellinia's expression.

"My apologies!" Realizing she had inadvertently touched upon a sensitive subject, Rozaliya opened her mouth, genuinely sorry for her oversight.

"It's nothing... I'm already used to it." Cellinia shook her head nonchalantly.

"Then... why was Cellinia being chased by a wolf pack last night?" Rozaliya continued, her curiosity piqued.

"That... because... because..." Cellinia's face flushed instantly, the words sticking in her throat.

"It's alright if you don't want to say."

"It's not that. I was just so hungry, and I... didn't have any money... so I... stole a bit... just a tiny bit, and they threw me out onto the plains. It was ridiculous! And then, I don't know how I encountered a wind wolf pack that shouldn't have been there at the edge... " By this point, Cellinia's face was beet red. As a noble young lady... she had now stooped to the point of theft.

"Uh..." Rozaliya hadn't anticipated such a tale.

"But stealing is never right! Don't worry, if you take me and my sister to the Kingdom of Demihumans, I'll compensate you."

"That won't be necessary. I..."

"It's fine. Let's consider it settled, then."

-

"Rozaliya, is it already dawn?"

At that moment, Liliya stirred awake.

"Mm-hmm, come... Liliya, eat something and we'll set off." Rozaliya hastily passed Liliya a piece of meat.

With Cellinia leading the way, the trio swiftly left the grasslands. In truth, they had been at the edge of the plains from the start, so their departure was swift.

After leaving the grasslands, they headed towards the Demi-human Kingdom's capital. This place wasn't far from the royal capital; they purchased a carriage in a nearby town and reached the capital in just half a day.

As for why they came to the royal capital, it was because only here, in the Demi-human Kingdom's capital, could the twins find what they desired to understand.

For instance, the library...

Only the royal capital had a library.

And through books, the twins could rapidly grasp this world. Relying solely on what Cellinia said was insufficient, as that was merely her one-sided perspective.

Upon arriving at the royal capital, Liliya and Rozaliya cheaply sold the carriage again and directly made their way to the center of the city, where the library stood.

As they observed the pedestrians along their way, they found it fascinating that regardless of age or gender, everyone had animal ears and tails.

Although Rosalya and Lilya's horns and tails seemed peculiar to them, the locals appeared to take such features in stride.

Soon, they noticed demi-humans even stranger than themselves and Rosalya.
