- Back to the story -

Brunhilde and Göll walked forward, the smaller Valkyrie remembering her elder sister.

("... Göll, being as tiny as you are, that makes you a real cutie."
"Huh...? But I've always wanted to be big and strong like you, sister Thrüd."
"If ya get as strong as me... then all the men around you will get scared and run away!!" -Göll)

"... Sister Thrüd..." She mumbled. The Valkyrie then started to tear up. "... She was... happy, wasn't she..? To be able to be with the man she loved for the rest of her life..." Göll spoke. "She was happy, right?" The Valkyrie questioned. Brunhilde silently nodded before walking towards a door. "... Göll." The eldest Valkyrie spoke. "I know... I know we shouldn't be crying, especially since this is about saving Humanity...! But... But...!" Göll had then started to wail. "Why... Why are you going so far... just to save Humanity, Sister Hilde...!?" She questioned. "... Göll, remember what the first man, Adam said? 'Is there any man who needs a reason... to protect what's dear to him?" The youngest Valkyrie stopped, especially when she saw Brunhilde clench one of her fists.

The woman then swung her fist into the wall, making blood splatter to the floor. "S-Sister Hilde..." Göll mumbled. "... Göll... Could you leave me alone... for a little while...?" Brunhilde questioned. She then walked in, leaving her sister in hesitation.

"And so with this... We have two wins and three losses..." The Valkyrie mumbled. She set up a memorial for Raiden. "... I know what I swore then... I know that I swore I would never be shaken... until the very last moment.." Brunhilde clenched her fists before slowly sinking down to their knees. "... But it seems as if I am much weaker than I imagined myself to be..." She mumbled. "Even still... no matter the cost... I must save them..." The Valkyrie then looked up at the ceiling of the building.

- With Zeus -

"Heave ho..." The male mumbled, slowly making his way up the hill. Wind had brushed past him, creating a warm breeze as the sun gently shone down on his skin. "Phew... Of course this is where you were... I've been looking for you, you know..." Zeus spoke. Buddha was laying down beside the tree, tearing open a wrapper of candy before he popped the hardened sweet into his mouth. "... Buddha." The male munched at his candy. "... Humanity... was impressive yet again in Round 5..." Buddha remained silent as he ate at his sweets. "Phew... lovely breeze here... I never would've known that there was such a nice place up here..." Zeus walked towards the God, popping another candy into his mouth. The male's eyes seemed to widen, making Buddha snap up and tug his bowl of sweets away. "My, those look delicious-! May I have one-?"

Buddha then tossed his bowl of sweets up, ripping up the wrappers before munching on all of them, his cheeks completely bloated like a squirrel's. "Geez! You're such a cheapo!! You couldn't have even given me one-?!" Buddha didn't even bother to pay attention to Zeus' words. And he had caught onto this. "... Oh, well..." The older God spoke as Buddha sat down on the grass. "... So..." He spoke, taking out a wrapper. "... Whaddya want?" He questioned. "... Hm... What did I want...?" Zeus looked back at him. "Ah, right... Would you mind... fighting in Round 6?" Buddha's eyes seemed to narrow from this question. "I was originally going to save your turn... for much later, however..." The God silently ate at his candy, looking back at the male with bored eyes. "... I want you to go next." Buddha blinked. "... Zeus. Why do you wanna destroy Humanity so much?" He questioned. The older God softly laughed.
