Sky Striker Princess, but the swan song of Valkyrie.

"Ah, because I've been training too hard lately, Senior Yi asked me to show Tsune and Kiriko around the school, since they'll be starting next semester."

Chris briefly explained her mission.

"Is that so? Diao is here to see you. The heretical technical data files you need are on your computer. Remember to complete them in time."

After understanding, Finney said this while tapping Tsukuyomi's head.

As rent for occasionally using Tsukuyomi to adjust her body, Finney has recently been teaching her some heretical techniques at her request.

"Is it over?"

Soon, as Tsukuyomi's eyes flickered, her consciousness returned to her body.

"Oh, is that so? We need to get familiar with the school. Cheese... Cheese, wake up."

Knowing the current state of Tsukuyomi, her perspective subconsciously shifted to Akatsuki, and she saw her opponent playing chess with the Duke of Zhou.

"Hmm... um, tune, is get out of class over?"

Awakened by the Tsukuyomi tune, Akatsuki was still a little sleepy.

"It's time to visit the academy. Chess-chan looks so sleepy, did you not sleep well last night?"

Tsukuyomi's simple explanation and Xiaoqie Song were then asked.

"Hmm...no, no, no, it's just that Elfnein and Finnie's conversation was too profound. As I listened, I started to feel sleepy."

Xiaoqiege, who was shaken awake, smiled sleepily, indicating that she had just fallen asleep from the boring alchemy lecture.

"Cutie, are you some kind of comedic manga character? Okay, hurry up and change your clothes for going out."

Slightly helpless, the two of them, now fully awake, began preparing to change into their everyday clothes for going out.

"Speaking of which, Elfnein, what are you planning to do next?"

While waiting, Chris casually asked Elfnein, who was engrossed in reading her notebook, a question.

"Are you bullying me, BOKU? I'll probably help out with the work later?"

After a moment of panic, Elfnein told Chris about her schedule.

"Work, speaking of which, I always feel like every time I see you, you're either working or on your way to work. Don't you have any other entertainment activities?"

Chris couldn't help but complain.

She felt that every time she passed the research lab on her way to the training room, she would see Elfnein working, even though she wasn't even a member of SONG and she didn't know what she was working so hard for.

"Well... because I don't want to cause trouble for everyone, and in return, I should at least take on some work that I can do."

Elfnein timidly voiced her thoughts.

"But working all the time won't be good for your health, right, Elfnein? How about we go on a tour of the school together, and then we can go to Karaoke Death together?"

At this moment, Xiaoqiege, who had changed into her outdoor clothes, overheard their conversation and made this suggestion.

"Kiri-chan just wants to go out and have fun, but... um, want to come along?"

Knowing some of her friend's thoughts, Tsukuyomi did not object, as she was also somewhat aware of how diligently Elfnein was searching for Finne within her body.

"I will try my best!"

Elfnein, who wasn't very good at saying no, after a moment of confusion, raised her little fist and pleaded desperately and weakly.

I will try my best!

Seeing Elfnein's extremely stable life through her eyes and ears, Carol Mars Dingheim's expression turned slightly displeased.

"That guy seems to be getting more and more used to life there."

Sitting in a corner of a huge conference room, Carol couldn't help but comment on the other person's relaxed state.

"Oh, Carol, are you spying on your sister's private life again? You're such a voyeur."

Just as Carol was complaining like this, a woman with blue hair, purple eyes, and an impressive figure spoke in a soft, effeminate male voice across from her.

“Caliostro is just a creation I made by mistake when I was making clones, not a sister. And this is a necessary action to confirm Finni’s status.”

Carol responded to Cagliostro's somewhat frivolous words.

"Quiet down, you two. And when is Adam arriving? Wasn't he the one who called the meeting? Why is he the one who's late?"

The gothic lolita girl, with brown hair and gray eyes, wearing glasses and holding a frog doll, sat quietly to the side, complaining in exasperation.

"It's because he was already more than an hour late that I was bored and decided to do something interesting, Prerati."

Cagliostro responded nonchalantly to Gothic Lolita Prellati's complaints.

"It's one hour, twenty minutes and thirty-seven seconds. Phew... I'll just have to be patient. Even Saint-Germain can keep her composure. I should learn from her, although it's true that wasting my time really annoys me."

Clutching the frog doll in his hand, Prerati suppressed his barely contained rage and looked at the woman in men's clothing opposite him.

The woman dressed as a man, while Saint-Germain, who was being talked about, remained silent, showing no impatience about the wait.

Thump, thump, thump, ya—

Just as the group was arguing and getting agitated, a series of footsteps sounded, and the door to the room opened. A tall man dressed in a white suit and wearing a white hat walked in.

"Good morning. I'm glad you were all on time. Let's begin today's meeting."

“You’re the one who’s late. It’s almost noon, Director Ya. Do you even know how late you are?”

Prellati expressed some dissatisfaction with its lack of punctuality.

"Yes, indeed, I may be a little late. After all, as the director, I am very busy and have many important matters to handle. You can understand, right, Saint-Germain?"

Adam, an arrogant man with absolutely no sense of shame, made some very infuriating remarks from his high and mighty position.

"What do we need to do?"

However, Saint-Germain ignored Adam's statement and quietly changed the subject to the main topic.

"Oh, alright, then I declare this meeting open. Let's discuss how we should deal with that little guy who keeps causing us trouble."

Seeing that Saint-Germain did not respond, Adam did not say anything more and went straight to the topic of his meeting.

Chapter Two: Discussion and Sudden Change

"Chief, you mean Lingyi... Have you found a way to reliably track her movements, to prevent her from escaping, to avoid her coming to the wrong place, and to avoid being overwhelmed by traps? Is there a way to truly capture her?"

After Adam finished speaking, Saint-Germain paused for a moment, and realizing what the other person was referring to, immediately asked a series of questions to confirm whether Adam had a plan.

You should know that she was also having a headache over Zero's problem. If it were a direct confrontation, she could guarantee that their society would be the final victor.

The problem is that Zero has never fought the Society head-on.

Every move she makes targets the extended tentacles of the organization, swiftly and precisely disrupting its operations, thereby causing the organization to suffer all sorts of unacceptable losses.

Of course, under Saint-Germain's leadership, the Society also launched many manhunts against Zero in response to her insidious actions.

However, none of these operations yielded any meaningful results. In one operation, she even seized upon a weakness and set a trap to ambush them, nearly causing Saint-Germain to perish as well.

Thus, the Bavarian Light Society entered a state of extreme distress, where the search yielded no trace and carried the risk of significant losses. The entire society could not withstand the slow, agonizing losses inflicted by Zero Clothes.

Now, the Society, left with no other choice, has to abandon its proactive approach and instead adopt a more covert strategic defensive posture to minimize the damage caused by Zero Cloak.

In this state, all they can do is spread intelligence to ambitious individuals to incite them to fight against Zero, which is basically useless except to annoy the other party.

Therefore, if Director Adam can come up with an effective solution, Saint-Germain will definitely be overjoyed that this long and torturous confrontation will finally come to an end.

"No, this is not my job, Saint-Germain. I'm just here to remind you that time is running out."

"Based on our previous battles, she is almost at the stage where she can contend with us, so we must do something."

In response to Saint-Germain's question, Adam, who was sitting at the head and tail of the table, replied that he hadn't thought about anything; since Saint-Germain had already initiated the discussion, why should he offer his opinion?

"Wait, does that mean you, Director, don't have any proposals at all? You know, Saint-Germain almost went bankrupt last time?"

Even though he already knew a bit about Adam's usual personality, Cagliostro never expected him to be so capricious and wicked.

"However, if we continue to immerse ourselves in this, she will definitely find us once she has finished preparing and destroy the entire Bavarian Light Society in one fell swoop."

"At that time, a completely destroyed society will not be able to accomplish the task of wresting humanity's future back from the rulers, will it, Saint-Germain?"

When confronted with questions, Adam simply stated the current state of the Society of Light before turning the question back to Saint-Germain.

“That’s true. Okay, let me think of another way. Cagliostro, Prellati, Carol, do you have any ideas?”

Knowing they couldn't rely on the director who was unreliable in every way except for his ability and knowledge, Saint-Germain had no choice but to turn their attention to three people within the company who were relatively reliable in terms of ability and knowledge.

Even so, I don't know what to do.

"While I am very confident in my alchemy skills, when it comes to strategy, I can't think of any way to capture that guy."

Neither Cagliostro nor Prellati had any good ideas.

Moreover, to be honest, if they had any useful ideas, they would have used them long before Lingyi became as strong as she is now. Why would they have dragged this out until now?

"Ha...no, but that's to be expected."

A sense of weariness, one that Saint-Germain hadn't felt in a long time, returned when they were defeated by Finney.

Ren said, "In the end, the reason for this situation is that you lost that complete relic, Director. Why can you do this so easily, Director?"

Prerati complained to Adam with dissatisfaction.

“I’ve done my best to salvage this situation, Prerati. I took this very seriously, but as you can see, my efforts have failed. So I’m out of options and it’s up to you.”

Adam offered a few perfunctory defenses against Prellati's accusations before turning the question back to the other alchemists.

"That relic... to be honest, I had doubts about its power before, but now I understand its strength. The power to dominate all of humanity is truly terrifying."

Rubbing his arms, Cagliostro said sullenly.

The Light Society had also observed what Lingyi had done two months ago, and she still remembered Saint-Germain's gloomy, almost dripping face when he noticed this fact.

"That's why we must take the initiative and eliminate her in the bud before she uses the power of that relic to become the ruler. Humanity cannot afford another ruler."

At this point, Saint-Germain roused himself and began to preach with a serious expression.

However, despite this, the discussion made no progress, and the people present still couldn't come up with any effective solutions.

"In that case, I have an idea. Let me be the vanguard and go directly to implement my plan to analyze the world."

Finally, it was Carol, who had been thinking for a long time, who broke the deadlock and offered her idea.

"Carol, are you referring to that previous plan, the one to test Finni's existence?"

Upon hearing Carol's statement, Prellati immediately thought of a previously scrapped proposal.

In short, the plan was to have Carol cause a ruckus in the city of Tiforne to test Fini's existence, but it was temporarily terminated after Fini's information was revealed.

"My idea is that I will pretend to betray the Society of Light and carry out the action of dismantling the world. The plan is the same as before, but in the meantime, you can observe how things develop."

“If Zero comes out to stop me from dismantling the world, then you will have a real opportunity to force her to confront me directly. If it is Finni who stops me, you can also use this opportunity to win the trust of those musicians.”

“I believe you can defeat her in a direct confrontation, and gaining her trust will allow you to reap the benefits by having those musicians act as the vanguard against Lingyi. How about that?”

Carol briefly explained some new ideas she had about the previous plan.

"The idea is simple, but she might not act the way we expect. Carol, you might not even have time to finish the task before Zero or Finney stops you."

Cariostro, resting his chin on his hand, brought up the most stressful part of the plan.

"That's something I need to consider. So, do you want to support my idea?"

Carol stated that she would handle any emergencies.

"Agreed, having a chance is always better than having no chance at all."

"I don't care, but if I can catch her, I won't hesitate to take action."

"Agreed~ After all, that's what Saint-Germain said."

"Don't forget to return my castle after you're done using it."

Finally, after a moment of contemplation, the other members of the Bavarian Light Society, including Adam, also reluctantly expressed their agreement with Carol's idea.

"Since there are no problems, let's discuss the details according to Carol's idea."

Seeing that the meeting had finally found a direction, Saint-Germain took the initiative to start by discussing with those present the specific details of refining the plan.

Soon, without much time being spent, the details of the plan were finalized in the discussions, and the Bavarian Light Society meeting was dissolved.

"So, the next step in the plan is to deliver the dwarf's legacy, D3inslei, to Elfnein under some pretext, and make her an enemy of me, so that she will add the demon sword to Symphogear."

After finalizing the details of the plan, Carol immediately began preparing for the first step.

"Okay, let's do it this way, Leia. You have a task now."
