Someone in Honkai, This Narration Is Not Right / Honkai Scroll Dog Dao Chapter 34

Even after experiencing so much, Siegfried couldn't possibly bring himself to harm a friend's daughter.

Though it was naive, Siegfried felt this was for the best.

If one day he truly became a 'machine' controlled by Reason, existing solely to fight Honkai, he felt he'd rather die.

Since Mei was safe for now, he could only think of ways to get her out of Changkong City.

In that case...

Even if Mei awakened, as long as the Third Honkai Outbreak she caused didn't erupt in the densely populated Changkong City, at least millions of people in Changkong City could be saved.

Moreover, in a more desolate area, I could also guard against and fight the Herrscher.

My strength is far from what it used to be. If we were to fight within the city, I couldn't guarantee I could defeat her before she caused widespread destruction.

"Uncle, before we leave, there's something I want to ask you."

Looking at Siegfried, who had already started his motorcycle, Raiden Mei quietly asked him.

"Kiana has been looking for you. She's in this city right now."

"Aren't you... going to see her?"

"Kiana, that girl... Ha, of course I want to see her."

At this moment, Siegfried, who had started his motorcycle, said helplessly to Mei.

"But now is not the time."

"Ryoma got screwed over. I don't know when he'll be able to get out. As his friend, I at least have to ensure your safety."

"Otherwise, if he gets out and sees that something happened to you, I won't be able to face him."

"...Thank you, Uncle."

"Don't mention it. I'm doing this willingly."

And now that I think about it, Otto gave me information and prepared transportation for me. He... really just wanted me to stay away from Kiana and not interfere with his plans, and to save Mei?

Damn it, how could this scoundrel be so kind.

He asked me to save Mei, clearly calculating that Mei had a very high probability of awakening as a Herrscher.

The Herrscher of Thunder is an enemy of Schicksal, and Siegfried Kaslana is an enemy of Schicksal. If the two sides were to fight, who would be the quickest to act as the 'oriole' and pick up the spoils?

Otto.

It could only be this scoundrel who was fully prepared and calculated everyone as a pawn.

Damn it, he has such a good brain but doesn't use it to deal with Honkai, instead always targeting humanity.

Looking at his empty sleeves, Siegfried truly wished he could storm Schicksal headquarters and cut down this waste with a single sword.

"Uncle?"

"Let's go. Grab my shoulder."

Forget it, I'll think about these things after we leave Changkong City.

Once Mei is taken away, most of the problems will be solved.

The rest will be left to the two doctors.

And Kiana...

Thinking that his daughter was acting under Schicksal's surveillance, Siegfried felt so powerless right now.

So many years have passed, and nothing... has really changed.

No matter what, am I destined to be like a puppet on strings in Otto's hand, acting according to his will?

Moreover, he must already be preparing to scheme against me through other means.

My intuition tells me that since just now...

—there's been someone watching me from not far away.

Changkong City. A Certain Location.

On the rooftop of a building in Changkong City, a woman in black retracted her special weapon.

At the same time, she saw the communication terminal in her arms begin to vibrate incessantly.

"Gray Serpent, it's me."

"Raven, what's the situation?"

"The situation is... honestly, that woman Cocolia can't be relied on."

Recalling the information she had seen using the sniper rifle mode of the Seven Thunders of Retribution, Raven said expressionlessly.

"Currently in Changkong City, Anti-Entropy and Schicksal are holding back and haven't fully engaged in war."

"But Cocolia's strategic objective, I don't think it can be achieved for the time being."

"Otto is watching her closely, and then he used some unknown method to bewitch Siegfried, this traitor of Schicksal, to do his bidding."

"Now, Raiden Mei, who has had the Gem of Conquest implanted, has been taken away by Siegfried."

"While this means Anti-Entropy's reputation won't be ruined, it clearly doesn't benefit Cocolia."

On the other end of the communication terminal, Gray Serpent paused for a moment before speaking to Raven.

"I understand. Continue observing the situation."

"If you notice anything amiss, retreat immediately."

"You are an important cadre of our World Serpent. There's no need for you to be in danger because of Cocolia's mistake."

"...Ha, I understand."

Raven, who had hung up the communication herself, chuckled and shook her head as she listened to Gray Serpent's seemingly concerned words.

[Raven]Natasha Sciola is one of the cadres of the mysterious organization World Serpent.

Moreover, she was personally trained by World Serpent's founder, [Gray Serpent].

Precisely because of this, Sciola knew very well that her mentor, Gray Serpent, could never truly care about her, a high-level tool.

That sentence just now, to put it bluntly, had another meaning.

[The Divine Key is very important. If you notice anything wrong, bring the Divine Key back to me. Don't let the Divine Key be lost.]

As for Sciola's life or death... he couldn't be bothered.

It was the same in the past, and it's the same now. If Sciola died outside, Gray Serpent would only think that the waste was only capable of that much, and then lament the loss of a useful tool.

"However, this is for the best. We are in a relationship of mutual exploitation, so it's good not to invest too much emotion."

Raising the Seven Thunders of Retribution again, Sciola took a deep breath and continued to talk to herself.

"Soon, very soon."

"Just a few more years, and after completing a few major orders concerning my destiny, my savings will be enough."

"Then, after buying an island, I will definitely build a beautiful villa."

"Once everything is completed, I can retire in peace."

Chapter 51: You Big Dummy!

In the darkness, Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes.

However, Lin Yu found that he couldn't control his body or make any sound.

At the same time, Lin Yu saw two figures floating near him not far away.

One of them, a white figure, slowly floated towards him after noticing him.

Lin Yu could feel that the other party had no hostility towards him.

But for some reason, he just felt...

He was extremely terrified right now.

You...

You...

You...

At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly found that his body could move under the spur of fear.

Then, he roared and punched towards the other party.

"Don't come near me!"

Following Lin Yu's roar, Lin Yu suddenly realized...

Thwack.

—He had completely woken up.

But now, Lin Yu, who had just woken up, stared blankly at his fist and the victim he had hit.

[Oh! A superb punch!]

[This punch, catching the opponent completely off guard, successfully struck the most important spot for a young girl!]

[Heh heh, this is interest for your old man trying to beat me—with this thought, your heart is filled with pride and arrogance.]

...Uh, I mean.

If I had even half a bit of pride or arrogance in my heart right now, I'd do a handstand and run around, okay? (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Looking at Kiana, whom he had punched in the face, Lin Yu immediately retracted his fist nervously.

And Kiana, who had been suddenly attacked by Lin Yu's punch, hadn't had time to wipe the look of astonishment from her face.

Just moments ago, she had felt a slight ache in her body from the position of having Lin Yu's head in her lap.

But the girl had told herself that the other party was already tired enough, so worried about waking Lin Yu, Kiana had forced herself to maintain that position.

And the result? —As everyone could see.

"Um, this..."

Seeing the shock on the girl's face gradually turn into anger, Lin Yu immediately jumped off Kiana.

[Ooh ooh ooh! Standard trope incoming! Using such tactics to tease each other, host, you're playing a bigger game than I imagined!]

I wish you'd shut up at a time like this.

"Senpai..."

At this moment, Kiana clenched her fists and angrily punched the boy in front of her.

"You big dummy!"

As Lin Yu faced Kiana directly, he realized—he absolutely couldn't take that punch just to let her vent her anger.

He didn't know why, but Kiana currently had no control over her strength.

If she landed this punch...

[No need to think about it, you'll probably be in agony.]

Exactly, meow.

Simultaneously activating the Mirror Mind and Royal Guard skills, Lin Yu precisely blocked the attack with his blocking ability and reaction speed.

Upon realizing her attack had failed, Kiana felt the anger within her flare up even more.

"I'm so, so angry!"

"Um, please calm down first."
