Just as the three of them were chatting happily, Rita's communicator rang.

"Rita? What's wrong?"

"It's a communication from the Bishop."

"Oh, is this a call from Senior? Then quickly answer it."

Hearing that it was Theresa's call, Xue couldn't wait to give her a surprise.

"Rita, can you hear me?"

"Report to the Bishop, I heard it clearly."

"What's the situation at the Houkai energy explosion site? Have you found the cause?"

"The reason has been found out. It's been a long time since we last met, Senior, or rather, Bishop."

It wasn't Rita who answered Theresa, but Xue's slightly playful voice.

"..."

After hearing Xue's voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar, Theresa on the other side was a little unresponsive for a moment, and then a little surprised.

"Xiaoxue?! Is it really you? Did I hear correctly?"

"Report to the Bishop, this is the real Tennoji Snow."

"It really is you... That's great, I knew you were okay. Hurry and go back to the Destiny headquarters with Rita and the others. We can have a good chat."

"Okay, okay~"

……

Everyone quickly returned to the Destiny Base on the Floating Islands.

After the transport plane landed, the three of them jumped off, while Theresa had been waiting on the tarmac for a long time.

"Report to the Bishop, the disaster relief mission has been successfully completed, and the mission to explore the Honkai energy outbreak point has also been successfully completed."

"Well, you've worked hard during this period. You and Bianca should take a good rest from now on."

"Yes, Your Excellency. Lady Bianca and I will take our leave."

After saying that, the two smiled at Xue and then left, obviously intending to leave Xue and Theresa some time alone to reminisce about the past.

"Xiaoxue, welcome back. There are a lot of people here. Let's go to the office and talk."

……

After arriving at the office, Theresa asked Xue to sit down and handed her a can of juice. Xue was not polite to Theresa.

Theresa opened a can of bitter melon juice, drank it all, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior, you're still the same, still liking bitter melon juice so much~"

"After all, bitter melon juice is one of my few hobbies... Time flies, eight years have passed, and Xiaoxue, you are back as promised."

After hearing Theresa's words, Xue instantly understood something. It seemed that the words she had prepared in advance were no longer useful.

"Yeah, it's been a while now, but you don't seem to have changed at all, Senior."

"Haha, maybe. But you, Xiaoxue, have become... more mature."

The two of them chatted happily.

However, a sudden knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

"Please come in."

The door opened, and a young Valkyrie, whom Xue didn't recognize but looked strangely familiar, walked in with a stack of paper documents.

"Reporting to the Bishop, this is the Dawn Squad's mission report for this quarter. Please review it."

"Okay, I understand. Tianwen, please put the documents on the table first."

"Ok."

Looking at the girl holding the documents, Xue felt a growing sense of déjà vu about her.

The girl seemed to notice Xue's gaze and felt a little confused.

"Hello, who are you?"

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you, Xiaoxue. This is our destiny's B-rank Valkyrie, Chen Tianwen."

When Xue heard the name Chen Tianwen, she suddenly remembered something.

"Are you Chen Tianwu's sister?"

"Eh? Do you know my brother?"

Chen Tianwen was a little surprised to hear Xue calling out his brother's name.

"Of course I do. We're old acquaintances. Let me introduce myself. My name is Tennouji Yuki, a former A-rank Valkyrie of Destiny. If your brother had mentioned me, he would probably have called me... the Herrscher of the Original Order."

Hearing Xue's name, Chen Tianwen reacted instantly and became a little excited.

"Are you Sister Anna's savior? Thank you for saving Sister Anna back then."

"Well, after all, Miss Anna is my important junior. But speaking of which, how are Chen Tianwu and Anna doing now?"

"Brother and Sister Anna are already married."

Hearing this, it was Xue's turn to be a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it was quite normal.

"Really? That's good, Tianwen. When you have time, remember to wish your brother and his family happiness on my behalf."

"Hehe, okay, Senior Xue; then Senior, Your Excellency the Bishop, I'll be leaving first."

"Walk slowly~"

After watching Chen Tianwen leave, Xue looked at the clock on the wall and decided it was time for her to say goodbye.

"Senior, I plan to visit Kiana and Xilin this afternoon, so I'll take my leave now."

"Eh? Okay. Oh, by the way, Xiao Xilin went to St. Freya Academy to look for Kiana early this morning. After all, today is Kiana's 25th birthday."

"Eh?! I hadn't noticed until you told me, Senior. It seems I came back just in time."

Hearing Theresa's words, Xue was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that she would travel through time on such an important day.

"Who said it wasn't? Let's go! As for me, Bianca, and Siegfried, we won't be there until tonight."

"Well, then, senior, I'm leaving now. See you tonight~"

Xue opened the dimensional wall and in the blink of an eye she arrived at the interior of the artificial island where St. Freya Academy was located.

Eight years have caused the locations of various areas of the artificial island to change significantly, but relying on her memory, Xue still found the main gate of the academy very easily.

I still remember that in order to prevent Kiana from climbing over the wall to skip classes, the wall at the main gate was raised about three times, but this could not stop Kiana at all.

After that, I stopped raising the height because I was afraid she would fall.

“I really miss it…”

Xue slowly stepped into the familiar campus. Everything around her had not changed much with the passage of time, and was still the same as before.

"Still nothing has changed... Wait, there seems to be a slacking monster~"

Although it was class time for the students, Xue still sensed a strange student hiding in the bushes, who seemed to be skipping class and slacking off.

Seeing this, Xue decided to correct her behavior. No matter what, skipping classes is not a good thing.

A dimensional wall appeared behind the bushes, but the girl didn't notice that someone had appeared behind her.

"Student, what are you doing? It should be class time now, right?"

"Wow!!! I've been discovered!" Hearing the voice behind her, the girl suddenly panicked and rushed out from the bushes, trying to run away, but was caught by Xue.

"Really? Why are you running around? You should be studying during class time."

Seeing that she couldn't escape at all, the girl looked resigned to her fate, lowered her head, and spoke in a weak tone.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong..."

"It's okay, it's okay. You're a good kid if you can correct your mistakes. By the way, what's your name?"

"That teacher, my name is Yayoi Nana."

"Yayoi Nana... Then Nana-san, do you know where teacher Kiana is?"

Hearing Kiana's name, Yayoi Nana was shocked.

"Um...I just escaped from Teacher Kiana's class..."

"..." Hearing this, Xue didn't know what to say for a moment. In short, it was really a coincidence.

And to be honest, this child looks a bit like Kiana.

"Okay, then as punishment, you will take me to find Teacher Kiana."

"Okay, teacher...um...if possible, please ask Teacher Kiana for me~"

"...Okay, okay, this won't happen again."
