"Men, take the patient away."

"Yes, Ma'am!"

The woman then ordered the nearby soldiers as they saluted. Based on their reactions, she seemed like a person of high rank.

The soldiers then proceeded to follow her instructions as Glynne also cooperated by gently handling the patient to them. As the patient was escorted to the quarantine area, the woman noticed the mark on the patient's neck visibly fading.

However, she didn't think much of it and faced the young man.

"Nice to meet you, I believe your name is Glynne Romero." The red-haired woman greeted the young man.

However, Glynne couldn't help but be suspicious of her. "How do you know about me?"

"Ah, apologies for the late introduction. My name is Himeko Murata, the Captain of Hyperion. I am also a teacher of St. Freya Academy." The red-haired woman introduced herself.

"St. Freya Academy?" Glynne said while tilting his head, as it seemed like he heard it before. Though, it wasn't long until he realized what the place was.

St. Freya Academy, it's a place where young Valkyries study and train in order to face the threat looming over humanity, the Honkai.

Actually, this was Glynne's destination here in Soukai City. He just forgot about it with all the recent events happening around him. In any case, the reason why he was headed there was because someone he knew invited him. "Say, do you perhaps know Theresa?"

Himeko raised an eyebrow after hearing his question. Of course, she knew who the young man was referring to. After all, she was the Commander of Schicksal's far east branch and the current principal of St. Freya.

With a person of high rank, Himeko couldn't help but get curious a bit when Glynne was addressing her with such familiarity.

"Yes, I know her. To be exact, she's my superior." Himeko replied. "I was actually sent here by her to pick you up."

"Really? Hmm.., I appreciate it but I want to explore to city first." After thinking for a bit, Glynne declined the offer. This made Himeko a bit shocked.

She then remembered the words of advice Theresa gave to her earlier before she left. The young man likes to wander around whenever he goes to somewhere he hasn't visited before. "If that's the case, want me to show you around the city before going to St. Freya?"

"Eh, really?" Glynne asked in a surprised tone. "... Uhm, but I imagine Ms. Himeko is quite busy. I don't want to bother you."

"No problem," Himeko replied as she smiled a bit with the young man's small consideration. "In the first place, you are the main reason for me coming here. Also, it's a good excuse to skip work for a bit."

Glynne widened his eyes, not expecting the last sentence to come out of someone like Himeko. However, he can't help but chuckle. Seeing his reaction, the red-haired woman smiled at her successful joke.

"... Then, I'll be in your care Ms. Himeko." Glynne said and reached out his hand.

"Yeah, leave it to me." Himeko replied confidently and shook the young man's hand.

"Phew, that was fun..." Glynne muttered in a satisfied tone upon getting out of the car.

He and Himeko cruised around the city for like a good hour or so. They have gone to a lot of places on interest inside Soukai City. From the busy street of the shopping district to a calm and relaxing public park.

That said, Glynne's face grew a bit red when he remembered something embarrassing along the way. Because of the honkai invasion and such, he forgot to eat lunch. He remembered Himeko trying to hold back her laughter when his stomach roared quite loudly. At least, he was treated to a nice restaurant after.
