Kiana, How Did You End Up Like This? (Continued)

"... Dad?"

"Yes! That's right!"

Siegfried clapped his hands, almost jumping for joy.

"It's such a pity, I was originally planning to have Bianka become my goddaughter," Kallen sighed.

Siegfried, who was in a good mood, immediately turned around and glared at these words.

That bastard tried to kidnap my daughter? (Standing... um...)

Siegfried finally noticed Kallen, who looked remarkably like him.

"... Are you from which branch of the family?"

Siegfried suddenly felt a strange sense of oppression from this woman who looked so much like him, and his tone became suspicious.

"Me... uh, Otto, what's my seniority again?"

Kallen drew out a long note, and the next moment she poked Otto in the waist.

"Calculate it yourself based on four generations over a hundred years."

What's Kallen's relationship to Siegfried? Otto has no idea!

Surely no one actually thinks she cares about Kaslana?

She wouldn't care about anything without Kallen as her best friend.

She took office by stepping over the corpses of her brothers and sisters, and not long after taking office, she sacrificed her entire family to the heavens. The Apocalypse Family was utterly useless.

The main reason why Schariac and Kaslana were not sacrificed was because their bloodlines were particularly unique.

Even so, Otto and the AI have been weakening these two families for the past five hundred years.

"... What do you mean by 'four generations in a hundred years, you do the math'?"

Siegfried finally realized something was wrong.

Otto is a woman, then it's not so unacceptable that an ancestor might pop out of her own coffin.

And the Kaslana people, who are closely related to Otto...

"... Ancestor Kallen?"

Siegfried looked at Kallen, who had a half-smile on her face, and his lips twitched slightly.

If you really want to count them, you can definitely count them all, since the Kaslana lineage has never been broken.

But if we calculate based on four generations every hundred years, that's already five hundred years... what a joke!

It's as if knowing numbers makes you knowledgeable; you might as well just call them ancestors.

Anyway, Siegfried was surprised, but not too surprised.

After all, I saw Kevin, the progenitor of the Kaslana family, this morning.

Compared to that, an ancestor named Kallen from five hundred years ago is nothing.

But...

What does it mean to adopt a goddaughter?

Siegfried's eye twitched slightly. It was a good thing he hadn't recognized her; otherwise, things would have been terrible.

"It's just what it sounds like." Kallen stretched. "How about we make do and you become my godson?"

"..."

"What's wrong with Kallen?"

Liu Bai whispered to Otto.

"I think he's just bored," Otto said irritably.

In her opinion, Kallen just wanted to prevent her from calling her "Mom" so that she could go and cause trouble for others.

"No, no, let's skip it..." Siegfried didn't want to have a godmother or something like that appear on his head when he was middle-aged.

... Especially since this godmother is someone whose ancestors are countless generations back.

"Oh, what a pity."

Bianka, upon hearing this conversation, also instinctively opened her mouth.

... It seems like I unintentionally jumped over a prehistoric giant pit?

Otherwise, that scene... even though Bianka is a bit naive, she wouldn't dare to imagine her father calling her ancestor.

"Alright, Siegfried, take your two daughters and get out of here." Otto waved his hand at Siegfried.

Siegfried glanced at Kallen, whose face showed disappointment, and without daring to linger, immediately turned and ran away.

"Wait, bring your daughter with you!"

"Forehead..."

Siegfried, having stopped, looked at Kiana and Bianka.

He glanced at Liu Bai again.

The meaning is self-evident.

I want to take them with me too! But the problem is, they might not want to leave!

"..."

Otto, understanding Siegfried's meaning, fell silent.

After a long pause, Otto finally looked at Kiana and said, "Hey, Kiana."

"W-What are you doing?"

Although Kiana didn't see Otto often, she was always deeply impressed by each encounter, so when Otto called her, she immediately responded.

"... I remember you're a lesbian?" Otto looked Kiana up and down strangely.

"Huh? Lesbian? What lesbian! Don't think you can slander someone just because you're the Bishop of Schicksal!"

Kiana suddenly grabbed Liu Bai's arm.

"I am devoted to my teacher! Don't make baseless accusations!"

"..."

Was it my fault?

What nonsense!

The intelligence clearly states that you have a questionable sexual orientation!

"Huh? Kiana?"

Siegfried seemed to be hearing this for the first time as well, and turned to look at Kiana with surprise.

No, not only Siegfried, but Bianka, Rita, Li Sushang and others also looked at Kiana with strange eyes.

"Hmm, if that's the case..."

Rita seemed to recall some information she had seen before.

"Rita, you bastard, don't talk nonsense!"

"Yes, yes..."

Seeing Kiana's increasingly desperate expression, Rita immediately raised her hands in a perfunctory gesture of surrender.

But Kiana's fierce reaction said it all.

Siegfried then fell into deep thought once again.

Is it more unfair to Cecilia that her own daughter has a problem with her sexual orientation, or is it more unfair to Cecilia that her two daughters were taken by a ghost?

Hmm... thankfully, my daughter's sexual orientation has been corrected?

... But is this really a good thing?

"Excuse me, I heard there's an important meeting going on here?"

A cool and intellectual voice came from the side.

Mei and Gray Serpent entered the hall one after the other.

"You've come at the perfect time."

Liu Bai nodded to the two people.

"Let's stop fooling around and get down to business—everyone except Otto, go out and have some fun."

"Hey, dog, wake up, we're moving."

Clio was kicked awake.

The Jackal mask was carelessly tossed aside. The female scientist, waking from her sleep, rubbed her eyes and finally recognized who it was.

"... Isn't that Raven? Is it dawn yet?"

"You big dummy!"

Wearing a black casual outfit, Shiora looked at Clio with a strange expression.

It hasn't been that long since we last met, Clio has gone from an arrogant, strong woman to a haggard, overworked office worker.

Even the tone of voice when speaking to her softened considerably.

If it weren't for that striking Egyptian flair, Shiora wouldn't have recognized this colleague.

"It's only eight o'clock now. I've come to tell you about the move."

"Move place?"

Clio tilted his head groggily, then looked down and saw a timid little girl hiding behind Raven, reaching out her hand.

"Your little girl?"

Clio spoke with a hint of disdain, then patted himself down, pulled out a piece of candy, and handed it to Sora.

"So you're moving... Why are you looking at me like the world is ending? It's just regular candy."

"I'm shocked precisely because it's ordinary candy—why would someone like you have something like this on them?"

"I'm using this to replenish my sugar levels these few days."

As Clio spoke casually, he pulled a handful of candy from his pocket.

"Want one too?"

"... No need."

Shiora waved her hand, "You pack up the important documents, we're moving in a bit."

"... Really moving?"

Clio looked at Shiora as if waking from a dream.

"If it's not a real move, is it some kind of fake move?" Shiora the look as if she were an idiot.

"No, I mean, where are we moving to? And why are we moving?"

"Move to Schicksal." Shiora expressionlessly.

"..."

Snap!

Clio slapped Shiora.

"It really doesn't hurt."

Clio nodded thoughtfully.

"A dream."

Snap!

Shiora slapped Clio across the face, then stared expressionlessly at Clio, who was writhing on the ground like a caterpillar.
