Happy Little Snapshot

Liu Bai comforted him.

"At least Kallen isn't willful at all."

That's true. Although Kallen caused her share of trouble, compared to Kevin, Bianka, and Kiana, they were considered quite well-behaved when they were young.

Or to put it more directly, Kallen is not arrogant.

Kevin, Bianka, Kiana were all arrogant and tsundere when they were young.

Well, Kiana is the same now, she hasn't improved at all—or rather, Kiana's actual age is still that of a child.

Otto: "..."

Lord God, why are you so skilled at this?

Left with multiple unavoidable circumstances, Otto silently accompanied Kallen to the Kaslana family's sanctuary.

Yes, as expected, it looks like it's completely neglected.

Sure enough, these days the three major families don't actually believe in God, do they?

On the contrary...

Otto glanced at Nagatsugu, who was looking at him expectantly.

This lady seems quite devout... It would have been even better if she hadn't been drooling over the Lord God.

"Cough cough... Just how many years has this place been neglected?!"

Kallen coughed as she was choked by the dust that was kicked up.

"Why did Dad call me here?"

"On the platform."

Otto reminded him softly.

Given Kaslana's intelligence, she definitely wouldn't hide things very well.

Otto felt that if he were the ancestor of the Kaslana family, he would definitely place the inheritance in the most conspicuous place—such as the altar.

If there was no altar, Otto figured he shouldn't bother looking for it and should just go back, wash up, and go to sleep.

If he hid her any deeper, Otto felt that Kaslana wouldn't be worthy of him.

"On the platform?"

Kallen nodded, trusting Otto, and walked to the altar, whereupon a surprised voice rang out.

"Hey! There's a pattern on it! It looks like the Stigmata from my house?"

Although the entire sanctuary was covered in dust, the dust on the platform was noticeably thinner than in other areas, and could be faintly seen even through the gray Kallen.

Kallen then instinctively reached out to wipe it.

However, the moment her hand touched the surface, a sudden light shone from the platform, and Kallen felt a wave of dizziness –

Please choose one of the following three dishes.

"...?"

Kallen opened her eyes groggily, only to find herself outside the sanctuary, in a... square?

Where is this?

Where is my home?

Please choose one of the following three dishes.

"...What?"

The voice from above made Kallen look up involuntarily, "Who are you? Where is this? Are you our family's sage teacher?!"

Please choose one of the following three dishes.

"..." That voice seemed even more dazed than her.

Helpless, Kallen looked down at the so-called three dishes.

The first one was a lump of... black poop?

Just looking at it, Kallen felt as if she smelled something incredibly foul, and there seemed to be something like tentacles wriggling inside this pile of excrement?

There's a sign above that says "mei".

What is this?! Are you sure this is edible?!

Next!

The next one is... a lump of yellowish-green poop.

Kallen: "..."

Strangely, Kallen could smell a fragrance from it.

No, it makes me even more nauseous.

The sign above says "Mobius".

The last serving... a plain bowl of noodles?

Please select.

What's there to choose?! Of course, we'd choose noodles!

What kind of demons or monsters are those two things in front of me?!

Kallen immediately picked up the noodles and, without chopsticks, began to "drink" them.

The scene around Kallen changed again in the next moment.

"Looking back now... the time I spent with my teacher was probably the happiest time of my life."

A soft sigh reached Kallen's ears.

At the same time, Kallen saw two figures, one large and one small, appear in front of her.

The older one is handsome and wise, while the younger one is lively and quick-witted.

"I only found out about the teacher's true appearance from the photo given to me by my senior sister. Honestly... I also want a soul steel doll of the teacher."

Chapter 248 A Happy Little Photo

"Here it is..."

Kallen cautiously observed the person beside her.

"Your...or rather, the interior of the Kaslana family's Stigmata."

A blurry figure with white hair appeared beside Kallen.

"Instead, I am an intelligent recorder."

"... This is our family's 'Sage Master's Legacy'?" Kallen rubbed her head upon hearing this. "But what about before that... especially the first two dishes..."

"... Even dogs wouldn't eat it, right?"

The smart camera next to me made a sound like it was gritting its teeth.

"Indeed." Kallen nodded in agreement.

All I can say is that even a dog would shake its head at the sight of the first two dishes.

"But speaking of which, why would there be such a level?" Kallen, slightly puzzled.

With those three things put together, anyone would know which one to choose!

"Because the original body wanted the Kaslana family to remember forever that even dogs wouldn't eat the food made by Senior Sister Mei and Dr. Mobius."

Even Kallen could feel the intense and frightening resentment emanating from the other party.

However, Kallen suddenly remembered something:

"Um... so you've eaten it?"

"..." The blurry figure suddenly fell silent. "Although I am just a fleeting image, please don't remind me of those terrible things."

"..." Kallen thought about what the two dishes looked like and nodded.

It has to be admitted that the scene of eating this kind of thing might really be quite terrifying.

"However, speaking of which," Liu Ying slowly began, "Those two dishes are actually each a legacy, one being Senior Sister's Soul Steel Puppet Technology, and the other being Dr. Mobius's Artificial Body Technology...but generally speaking, it's impossible to obtain them."

"Why?"

"Because if you choose those two dishes, you might lose consciousness and be teleported out while eating them, and once you're teleported out, you can never come back in."

The tone of his voice when he took the photo was tinged with sadness.

"The essence of this inheritance is simply to extract memories, modify them, and then present them to you... The original body, or rather, me, has experienced such a painful thing."

"She was forced to be fed it?" Kallen seemed to understand something.

"You guessed right."

Kallen felt the photograph beside her seem to tremble.

"...It is quite terrifying." Kallen nodded with a hint of pity, but then she thought of something else, "Eh? Does that mean our family has three inheritances? All from the Sage Master?"

"Yes."

Why so many?

"Because I'm the one in my family responsible for carrying on the family line... which means you guys. This is a perk that my senior sisters are giving me out of respect, as a way to give the Kaslana family three paths."

A photo taken with a sigh.

"The questions are all answered. Now it's time to discuss the legacy you've chosen—you use a greatsword, right?"

"Um... I know a little bit, but I'm more comfortable with dual pistols," Kallen answered honestly.

After all, the Kaslana family's Judgement of Shamash would definitely fall into her hands in the future, so she already knew about the Twin-Gun Kallen.

"Only sissies use dual pistols!" Liu Ying's voice suddenly became angry. "If that bastard Su hadn't abandoned me and run away, I wouldn't have had to be forced to eat such terrible food by my senior sisters!"

"... But I am a girl."

Kallen wasn't angry; she just tilted her head innocently.

"..." He posed for a photo, then sighed.

It seems that's true.

"... Consider yourself lucky, I also have records of dual-wielding skills."

He took a picture and sighed. After all, among his fellow disciples, the second senior sister and the eldest senior sister both had their hearts set on their teacher, while he and Su were the closest.

I certainly don't know the skill of using two guns, but there are records of it.

The scene before Kallen's eyes changed; there was a different child, but the adults remained the same.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready."

Seeing that they were getting down to business, Kallen took a deep breath and prepared herself.

"Alright, begin!" With Liu Ying's command, Kallen's vision went black again. When she opened her eyes again, a smiling face appeared before her.

Then, the other person slowly opened their mouth and asked, "Su, what do you want to learn?"

... Wait a minute, doesn't this voice sound familiar?

"Ugh... my head is throbbing." Kallen rubbed her temples.

Just now, she experienced a heartwarming lesson from Lord God through the perspective of a child named "Su".

That's right! That voice was definitely from Lord God!

"Got it?"

"Almost?" Kallen's head was spinning.

"Anyway, even if you can't remember it, I don't have the authority to put it aside again," Liu Ying said indifferently. "Alright, I'm sending you out now. Remember, this inheritance can only be used again after at least thirty years."
