Journey Crisis! The St. Freya Special Event
Animated Special
One last hurrah for the Part 1 and 1.5 cast before we shift our gazes to the Red Planet.
While everything else in the short lines up with it taking place after the Part 1.5 Finale and before Helia and Coralie set out on their mission, the animation presents a problem by having Seele in a flashback.
This could be an indication that it’s an Otherworld story, perhaps lining up with season 2 of Cooking with Valkyries
This could also just be a story in the main timeline, with the flashback Seele being an error on the part of the staff.
Interpret it as you will.
The song’s lyrics were written by Hanser, Bronya’s Chinese voice actress.
The singers are the voice actors for the main trio in their respective language.

Story I
“I want to know what I can do.”
“You’ll have a lifetime to think about that, don’t worry.”
At that time, she still did not know that those words would be a prophecy. One that would accurately and mercilessly shape the rest of her arduous life.
Everything came without a warning. Before she had realized, the gears of fate had already began to turn apathetically.
The girl struggled to stay afloat in the tides of catastrophe.
She remembered the frigidity as death approached, and the disorientation as she grew more vulnerable.
She also remembered that transient yet precious friendship, her companions’ care and protection… She remembered that in that long and lonely night, there was no starlight.
But the girl still had not found her answer.
“Where should my future be headed toward?”
The girl questioned the dark night, which responded with solitude and silence.
Story II
“Then, is it enough for me to merely continue on like this?”
In the lasting time ahead, the girl asked herself that question again and again.
Just as before, only her unceasing footsteps answered her.
Others had referred to her with various titles: ally, celestial, master…
But the face of that ignorant yet determined girl had blurred along with other memories.
The girl walked on.
It was as if that was the only way to forget the farewells and regrets she had in this seemingly unending journey.
The girl treaded forward.
She had gradually forgotten her origin and unknown destination.
“I must continue on.”
This was her responsibility.
Story III
“This is as far as it goes.”
“From here on, it’ll be the path that follows your heart.”
The smoke from the disasters that had lasted from the Previous Era to the present had finally dissipated.
Looking back, through all the vicissitudes, ten thousand years had passed.
She kept her past within her heart and took huge steps forward.
This time, her friends’ smiles awaited her ahead.
“Hey, Old Timer, where are we headed this time?”
“I haven’t decided yet.”
“Huh?”
“It’s the perfect season and the scenery is stunning. Why don’t we take our time, and enjoy as we journey on?”

Story I
The view outside the window reverted to the deep, dark sky, and the countless stars floating on it.
But Griseo paid it no attention, as she was still unpacking the huge package from Earth.
“Finally! Marvin, look, it’s the ‘ageless spring’ Hua made! Nuwa and Fuxi brought me a lot of flatbreads too, I can eat them together.”
Before she could be happy with her new discovery, her heart suddenly sank.
“Despite knowing I have many outdoor sketches left to organize and clean, Nuwa still stuffed my bag full of delicious food…”
Guilt and an inexplicable sadness rushed into her head. She stopped her hands and gazed at the small, blue-green planet that had long disappeared into wave after wave of stars that washed past her.
“Marvin, do you think Nuwa’s myth writing will be affected by my procrastination?”
“I don’t know when I’ll see them again.”
“……”
But the downcast mood didn’t last long. Griseo hurriedly rummaged through her backpack for her drawing board and tools.
“I feel sorry, but it is better to start conceptualizing now!”
She spread out a drawing paper, and what she saw in Shenzhou and what Nuwa spoke sprung to her mind.
“When we meet again, I swear to place a thick stack of sketches in front of Nuwa.”
The girl dipped her brush in paint, and so did her inspiration in sparkling memories.
“She’ll be even happier by then.”
Story II
Griseo replanned her journey to one of braving new stars.
“Vill-V gave me this, but is it a real weapon? I only use it for drawing and observing… Somehow I feel it serves more purposes.”
So she accessed the Ark system’s Equipment Usage database for the first time, preparing for walls of complex jargon and lengthy explanations, but…
“Marvin, look, I can’t believe there are only video files here! And… this one, this one, this one, are all sci-fi flicks…”
“Is this a mistake?” Griseo checked the upload log, and these sci-fi movies were indeed listed in the library as “instructions”.
“Mmm, it’s 8 hours and 39 minutes until the Ark reaches the next habitable planet.”
“My spacesuit, oxygen mask, and probe are ready. Painting… no inspiration yet. Therefore…”
Griseo turned on the movie, persuading herself that “this is also a learning experience.”
……
“The scabbard of the laser saber in the movie resembles my pen! Eh, here’s a button I haven’t pressed, if I press it—ah!”
With a loud “swish”, a pole of icy blue light emerged. The awesome laser saber used by the movie’s protagonist was now in Griseo’s hands.
“So that’s how it’s used! Then again, I need to be more cautious next time, as I should never point this end of the pen at someone else, not to mention myself…”
……
“The Ark Navigation Assistant reminds you that the Ark will be landing on the *unknown planet* in 10 minutes.”
“Let’s go, Marvin. This is a good opportunity to test it out.” Griseo paused the movie as she gripped the laser saber and prepared to exit the cabin.
Story III
“Griseo, you look a little tired.”
“It’s nothing, Misteln. It’s the day of updating the comic, I just…”
“Dream Hare and the AI Girl, right?”
“Ah… M-Misteln, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to draw you into the comic!”
“It’s okay. I’m very honored to be the heroine in the limelight. I think No. 17 will be ecstatic when she learns about it, too.”
“It’s still… better not to tell her.” Griseo felt a tad guilty. When she came to her senses, she was surprised to see herself surrounded by seven bobbing colors—
“So Griseo’s troubled by the story’s direction!” Veracious Vita pondered, “Let’s come up with some ideas so she won’t have any reason to procrastinate!”
“I’ll go first, I’ll go first!” Righteous Vita jumped up and down, “Dream Hare labored day after day and finally extracted the shiniest gem from the mine!”
“But Red,” Erudite Vita tugged carefully at the corner of her shirt, “At the end of the last chapter, Dream Hare was going to meet the AI girl…”
Misteln looked amused, “Yes, the AI girl who likes to wear fancy dresses, who’s the co-protagonist of this comic.”
“Fancy dresses… Is that part of her character?” Harmonious Vita tilted her head, “But it’s logical for the AI girl to dress grandly since they haven’t seen each other for a long time.”
“Sparkling gems and pretty dresses,” Harmonious Vita murmured thoughtfully, “They sound like things that’d only appear in celebrations…”
Misteln suggested, “To celebrate their reunion, Dream Hare specially invited the proud and aloof idol Kirastar to the event. Kirastar was so moved by their story that she sang on the spot.”
“Wow!” Righteous Vita’s eyes sparkled, “Kirastar’s singing must have been so beautiful that it touched every corner of the world and made everyone cry for their friendship.”
“But since she’s a proud and aloof idol,” Mindful Vita stroked her chin, “it wouldn’t have been easy for her to accept Dream Hare’s invite.”
“Blue, be romantic, will you?” Encompassing Vita patted him on the shoulder, “Dream Hare is gentle and talkative, even an idol would be persuaded by her.”
Misteln smiled and nodded, “Kirastar was attracted by Dream Hare’s passion, and the ice in her heart began to melt…”
“Wonderful, wonderful!” Veracious Vita applauded, “In this way, Dream Hare, the AI girl, and Kirastar became good friends!”
“W-wait!” Erudite Vita raised his hand, “But the comic is called Dream Hare and the AI Girl, isn’t it?”
Misteln wiggled her finger confidently, “It doesn’t matter if there’s an extra heroine. Readers nowadays never mind seeing more cute girls!”
“And,” Disciplined Vita added scrupulously, “Griseo can use this opportunity to write a sequel.”
Convinced, everyone nodded.
“E-everyone,” Erudite Vita interjected, “where did Griseo go?”
The next day.
Announcement from the comic artist Painting Stars: Out for inspiration, put on hiatus, time of resumption to be determined.
