The Dark Valkyrie felt a little annoyed when she saw the couple appearing in the clearing.
She hadn't taken her eyes off Arabel since she'd given her the ssage. Although she asked to co alone, Arabel still disobeyed.
When Idan joined her, both of them did not use a ntal link to communicate, and the Dark Valkyrie clearly heard their conversation.
The couple realized that the Valkyrie was watching them, and they talked openly, not hiding their thoughts. This made the Dark Valkyrie unhappy: she didn't like that the other Valkyrie didn't trust her.
However, by the ti they reached the clearing, she managed to calm down a little and even prepared a second chair for Idan.
The couple slowly approached the table, which she had set.
All this ti, the Dark Valkyrie sat with her eyes closed, watching them with the Soul Force. She didn't miss a single detail, noticing the slightest changes in their behavior. They were both very tense, and she could clearly feel the fear coming from them.
She sighed, opened her eyes, and looked at them carefully.
This ti, her attention was focused on Idan. She couldn't understand what was so special about this young man that her younger sister was holding onto him so much. She checked it with her Soul Force once more, but she didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
Unless the guy had a little more mana than expected.
It was only after she put in a little more effort that she felt a presence that caused her to be violently disgusted, and wrinkled her nose. She couldn't be mistaken—the scent of the elent of light emanated from this youth. As a Dark Valkyrie who was close to the elent of darkness, she was well aware of the elent of light, which was her opposite.
This discovery surprised her. How could she not notice the elent of light in the guy right away? She was very sensitive to her.
"Sit down," she told the couple.

Idan and Arabel were very excited and scared about eting a real live Valkyrie. Although Arabel possessed the bloodline of the Ice Valkyrie, they had never seen a mber of this race in person before.
To make matters worse, the Valkyrie they were about to et was a Dark Valkyrie. The very concept of darkness in their understanding, based on stories and prejudices, was associated with evil. Although they understood that this was a different world with different concepts, they couldn't get rid of the bad feeling.
"Sit down," Valkyrie said, putting the cup on the table. After receiving permission, the couple sat down on the prepared chairs.
"You've disappointed a little, little sister," the Dark Valkyrie said with a note of displeasure, addressing Arabel.
In Arabel and Idan's eyes, Valkyrie was dressed all in black. It was very difficult to see and understand her clearly in the night clearing.
Arabel didn't answer her question, just lowered her head guiltily.
Idan, on the other hand, did not take his eyes off the Dark Valkyrie. Of course, the guy's close attention caused her so dissatisfaction, but for now she wasn't going to do anything.
Out of the corner of her eye, Arabel noticed that Idan, although he was afraid of the Dark Valkyrie, held himself confidently and stared at her intently. This gave her confidence, and she looked up and t her gaze.
"I apologize for disobeying and not coming alone," Arabel said with firmness in her voice, but there was a hint of concern in her intonation.
Arabel's eyes, which at first looked at the Dark Valkyrie with firm determination, slowly began to lose their hardness after saying the words of forgiveness, betraying the growing panic.
The Dark Valkyrie chuckled when she noticed this. She was satisfied with her younger sister's apology.
"Let introduce myself first, little sister," with these words, the Dark Valkyrie rose to her feet, and her black cloak, like liquid, began to flow down her body, turning into three pairs of huge black wings on her back.
Beneath the cloak was an elegant dark leather armor. Its appearance and patterns betrayed the skill of the creator, who was clearly a master of his craft.
Idan and Arabel had never seen armor of this level and quality before. Compared to this armor, their own adventurer outfits seed like nothing more than beggars' clothes.
"My na is Sierra Darkial, I am a Dark Valkyrie of the 'Legendary' rank," Sierra introduced herself, revealing her true form.
Greeting two unfamiliar Valkyries when they first t, when they didn't have to hide their true identity, required this kind of introduction.
She had long black hair that reached to her hips, eyes as dark as night, and black lips. Unlike them, her skin was snow-white and could rival Arabel's skin when she took the form of an Ice Valkyrie.
Idan and Arabel were enchanted by her beauty. Her wingspan was much larger than Arabel's.
After regaining her senses, Arabel stood up from her chair and took off her Ghost Mask, revealing her true appearance. Her black hair imdiately lengthened and turned bright red, and her eyes turned azure.
"I am Arabel Morgan, pleased to et such a legendary person as Ms. Sierra," Arabel introduced herself.
After greeting her, she looked at Sierra, but she didn't say anything. She just looked at her as if she was waiting for sothing else.
"I assu Ms. Sierra already knows or has heard that we have co from another world?" asked Arabel. The fact that she and Idan ended up in this world was no longer a secret. From the very first days, everyone was aware of this, and Arabel was sure that such an outstanding person as Sierra could not help but hear about them.
"Yes, I'm aware of that," Sierra replied shortly.
"Then I will not beat around the bush and imdiately dispel your doubts, Ms. Sierra. I'm human!" Arabel suddenly announced, much to Sierra's surprise.
Sierra couldn't believe it. But before she could do anything, Arabel continued,
"Although I, like my partner, are human, we have the ability to integrate the bloodlines of other races," she confessed.
And at the sa mont, the white scarf that had been around Arabel's neck all this ti began to move and transform into two pairs of snow-white wings behind her back. Her long red hair turned snow-white, and the air around her began to cool.
"As you can see, thanks to this ability, I was able to obtain and integrate the bloodline of the Ice Valkyrie," Arabel honestly admitted.
After discussing it, the couple ca to the conclusion that it would be best to tell her about her ability without hiding anything. They weren't sure if they could hide the true nature of their bloodline from her, and they also didn't know what a "Legendary" rank Valkyrie was capable of.
Another reason was the sudden advice I received from their System. She suggested not hiding the truth about her bloodlines from this Valkyrie.
So, they decided to be honest and outspoken.
Dark Valkyrie Sierra was surprised by what she heard and saw. After seeing what was happening in front of her eyes, she rembered the strange race from their world of Junonia, who could change their race after choosing their partner.
"Surely this ability couldn't be the sa as that of this race?" Sierra asked herself inwardly.
