As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

Time slightly earlier

In the bishop's office at Schicksal headquarters, Ragnar swallowed hard, standing nervously to the side as he looked at Otto, who was sitting in a chair. "Bishop Otto, did the Valkyrie Stormtroopers do something wrong?"

“There’s nothing here, Ragnar. Don’t be so nervous. Ever since Reanna disappeared, stormtroopers like yours have been Schicksal’s prized possession.”

Otto smiled faintly, stood up from his chair, walked over to Ragnar, and gently patted Ragnar on the shoulder. "Don't be so reserved. You weren't like this when we first met."

"Your Excellency, you still remember..." Ragnar was taken aback at first, then gave a wry smile, feeling somewhat ashamed at the thought. Back when she had just become an A-rank Valkyrie, she was always assigned to do post-disaster cleanup work in disaster areas.

At that time, Ragnar felt that participating in such work was a waste of her talents. Destroying the enemy was the Valkyrie's true duty, rather than rescuing the weak and short-sighted civilians.

So one day, taking advantage of Otto Apocalypse's visit, he boldly confronted him. Thinking back, Ragnar gave a wry smile. "Bishop Otto, stop mocking me. Looking back now, I don't know where I got the courage."

“No, I think you did the right thing. I still remember what you asked me.” Otto chuckled twice, walked to his desk, and picked up a document. “I’m sure you remember my answer very well.”

“Of course, Your Excellency, your answer has completely overturned my thinking about the Valkyrie profession.” Ragnar nodded, then continued, “What is protected may seem insignificant, but the seed will eventually sprout and bloom into a field of flowers.”

“Yes, yes…until the mountains and fields are covered in flowers.” Otto murmured twice, picked up the documents on the table, and handed them to Ragnar. “I have a special mission for you, Ragnar. You’re familiar with the name Rita, aren’t you?”

"Rita? Is Your Excellency referring to Rita Losweiser?" Ragnar was slightly taken aback, not expecting that name to come from Otto's mouth. After all, Rita was a genius, but she shouldn't have been able to alarm this person.

“That’s right, it’s her, isn’t she a very hardworking and talented little girl?” Otto smiled, picked up another document from the table, and frowned slightly as he looked at the ‘unknown’ on it.

“I know you two have a good relationship, and she’s currently at Destiny’s Orphanage. Aren’t you on vacation right now? I think you could volunteer there.”

“Also, there’s a small task, one I’m confident you can handle…” Otto said, placing the file back on the table. “Do you remember the man next to Rita?”

“A man? Your Excellency, you mean… Mr. Venom?” Upon hearing this, Ragnar immediately recalled Chen Yuan, who had left a deep impression on her two years ago, and nodded.

“I do remember him, but according to Rita, he has been wandering around and I don’t know where he is now, Your Excellency… do you have some kind of grudge against him?”

“A holiday? Of course not, he’s an old friend of mine.” Otto chuckled softly after hearing this. “Besides, the name Venom is quite something.”

"However, wandering around... that's interesting, Ragnar. If you have any news about him on this trip, be sure to report it. I haven't seen my old friend for a while."

"Yes, Lord Bishop!"

time back to now

"Yes, yes, I am truly honored to receive such praise from Miss Bianca." Chen Yuan looked at Bianca's expression and couldn't help but laugh. Is this what tsundere is? It's just too adorable.

"Why do you look at me like that? Are you thinking something strange?" She glanced at Chen Yuan suspiciously, then stamped her foot as she saw the latter's slightly upturned lips.

"You're definitely thinking something weird! You pervert!!"

"I don't!"

Compared to the noisy Bianca and Chenyuan, Rita's side was much quieter. She gently patted Ragnar's hand and said softly.

"Sister Ragnar, how are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?" Ragnar shook her head and sat up straight. "It was just a sparring match, what's the big deal? Mr. Chenyuan even helped me treat my hidden injuries."

“Rather than saying I’m injured, I’d say my body has never felt so good.” Ragnar stood up and clenched his fist. “I have to thank you for that, Mr. Chenyuan.”

"This is nothing, no need to thank me." Chen Yuan waved his hand gently after hearing this. He also wanted to treat her hidden injuries, since Ragnar wouldn't live much longer if nothing unexpected happened.

In the original story, shortly after Ragnar left the orphanage, Siegfried and K423 went into hiding in Eastern Siberia, while Anti-Entropy and Schicksal searched for their whereabouts. Finally, this winter, Ragnar's Valkyrie Stormtroopers found them.

While tracking Siegfried and K423, Ragnar engaged in battle with the Herrscher of the Void. Ragnar had the opportunity to injure the Herrscher of the Void, but hesitated upon discovering that she was a child, and was ultimately killed by her.

The Valkyrie Stormtroopers were almost completely wiped out during the mission, and the unit was disbanded. He treated her body in the hope that she could survive that battle, since he still had a very good impression of Ragnar.

"Alright, alright, now that the sparring is over, let's call it a day. Those who need to eat, eat; those who need to do something else, do what you need to do."

At this point, Chenyuan shrunk back to his tiny form, jumped onto Rita's shoulder, and stretched. "After exercising for so long, I'm a little tired too. That's enough for now!"

"Is Your Highness tired? Then Rita will arrange for you to rest immediately. Please wait a little longer." Rita covered her mouth and chuckled twice when she heard Chen Yuan's complaints.

He then lifted Chenyuan from his shoulder and placed her in his hand. "I wonder what Your Highness would like to eat for lunch?"

"Waaah... Rita is the best. I can eat anything for lunch, as long as Rita makes it, I'll like it." She rubbed against Rita's hand and found a comfortable spot to lie down.

There's nothing I can do. Rita has already taken care of me to the point of being useless. I'm not going to put up any more resistance. Rita will take care of everything for you.

"Honestly, can't you be serious for once!" Bianca stomped her foot angrily at Chen Yuan's expression, then pointed at Rita. "And you, Rita, you spoil him way too much!"

“Lady Bianca, it is a maid’s duty. No matter what conditions the master sets, as a maid, I should do my best to meet them.”

"You two..." Bianca gritted her teeth upon hearing Rita's words, "You're clearly my adjutant, aren't you!"

'How heartwarming. The Valkyrie's duty is to protect this scene...' On the other side, watching the group playfully bickering, Ragnar smiled from the bottom of his heart, and Otto's mission came to mind.

"I'm sorry, Archbishop Otto, I've never seen Mr. Venom. I'm truly sorry, the mission must have failed."
