Chapter 176

She was there.

However, I couldn't get over it.

Mother...

"Huh? What are you doing here?" Suddenly, a voice that sounded exactly like his own reached his ears.

K423 knows who it is without even turning around.

It's someone you don't really want to see, even though it should be someone who is your older or younger sister.

He was also the one that K423 resented the most.

Clearly...

She was clearly no worse than her in any way, clearly more outstanding, and clearly the daughter her mother favored and loved the most.

But why?!

Why did Mom choose that guy?

Instead of myself?!

Chapter 202 It is clearly

This sound.

K423 turned its head to look at the person who had spoken.

Kiana!

Kiana Kaslana.

She was clearly no worse than her, and her conditions were better than hers in every way. She was more hardworking, more ambitious, and more qualified to become the most powerful Valkyrie.

Why!

K423 just can't figure it out.

Why did Mom choose this brainless, Kiana -like guy?!

The more K423 couldn't understand, the angrier she became, saying, "I don't need to tell this guy what I want to do, do I?"

"Who do you think you are to me? Do you expect me to report everything to you?"

"Huh? What?" Kiana was enraged by K423's provocative tone, but rationally she still felt that fighting this guy in this place was not a wise choice.

What are you talking about?!

Do you think I'm caring about you, or trying to control you?

Don't flatter yourself!

"The mission is already over," Kiana said unhappily, "Yet they're still lingering here."

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

Perhaps, maybe, possibly! No, it must be a threat!

The mission was supposed to be over, but this person is still here and shows no sign of leaving. Although it seems like they might be related by blood or something.

But suddenly, someone appeared beside me, with the same face as me, wandering around aimlessly.

Adapting to such changes is indeed quite difficult.

"The orders from above were to send me here," K423 said confidently, puffing out his chest. "Although the mission is over, I haven't left the group yet."

"There was no order to disband the squad, and it was also said that I would be sent to the Hyperion for duty."

"So, is there something wrong with me being here?!"

What does it mean to be justified and confident?

That's what it means to be confident and assertive! Not only should you answer the question, but you should also counter by asking, "Did I do something wrong?!"

K423 is just that confident and self-assured.

This is the latest order; it doesn't say the squad is disbanded and everyone goes home. And the document has actually been issued; she's going to be stationed on the Hyperion starting today.

"Ah~" K423 looked at Kiana and suddenly grinned mischievously, saying, "Speaking of which, I'm already a proper A-rank Valkyrie."

"Unlike someone like you who is still Trainee Valkyrie."

Yes, it seems that although Kiana has already completed two missions, she is still only Trainee Valkyrie. Her rank is barely borderline B-rank Valkyrie. She still has a long way to go to reach A-rank Valkyrie.

Let's at least graduate smoothly first.

Kiana blushed red after being told that, but she was completely unable to refute it.

This is indeed an unchangeable reality.

She felt she was good at everything, but she was just a Trainee Valkyrie.

"What's there to be so smug about!" Kiana said unhappily, her tone slightly sour. "Don't think that just because you've become A-rank Valkyrie, you have anything to be proud of."

"You didn't perform very well during the last mission either."

"I will soon become a full-fledged Valkyrie."

"Soon! Soon! I will become a top-tier Valkyrie."

"Valkyrie as powerful as my mother!"

"Snort!"

"You Kiana, there's absolutely no way you could do that!" K423 retorted.

"I am the most likely candidate!" Kiana retorted defiantly.

The two of them argued back and forth, creating quite a commotion. The noise was driving Cecilia was in the lab, completely crazy!

"My God!" Cecilia screamed inwardly, clutching her head. "Was this done on purpose? Otto did it on purpose, didn't he? What on earth is that guy thinking?!"

"I think we should definitely make sure to do a good job of soundproofing next time we renovate."

'Or maybe it's those two arguing outside.'

This is going to be a disaster!

Cecilia finally couldn't sit still any longer. She paused the game and took her hands off the keyboard. These two Kiana, if left to make a racket outside...

There's no need to fight with my own Kallen Fantasy anymore.

Cecilia opened the laboratory door, looking coldly at the two noisy Kiana who showed no sign of stopping.

And then, it actually worked.

Upon seeing Cecilia emerge, the two Kiana immediately shut their mouths and tried to act cute.

"Never mind," Cecilia sighed. "Come in."

"Really... really?!" K423 was overjoyed.

Is it really okay to go into this place that looks like it's off-limits to me?

"If you'd like to stay outside, that's fine," Cecilia said, her face slightly stern. "But no arguing, no fighting. It would be best if you all went back to your own homes and found your own mothers."

Everyone went back to their own homes, to their own mothers...

As soon as she said it, Cecilia regretted it.

From some perspectives, they have already decided that she is their mother!

This is... absolutely outrageous!

But once the words are spoken, there seems to be no going back.

Cecilia kept a straight face, but took a half step back to let the two people in.

K423 entered this place she had wanted to visit ever since she arrived on the Hyperion, with a sense of pilgrimage.

Mom's laboratory!

Then...

"This place..." K423 suddenly felt his worldview crumbling a little and said, "Is this really a laboratory?"

This place feels so eerie! Are all these devices really okay? Did we come to the wrong place? Isn't this some strange electronics waste disposal plant? It feels like we're in a very dangerous place.

It felt like everything around us was about to explode or collapse at any moment, and some places even looked like they were leaking electricity.

Are you sure there won't be any problems?

This place?

"It doesn't look very impressive," Cecilia shrugged, "But there's really nothing wrong with this place. This is my lab."

"Research and experiments are all done here."

"Huh? You're a scientist too?" K423 exclaimed in surprise, "You seem really amazing."

Whether it was flattery or a genuine feeling that she was really impressed, Cecilia felt somewhat pleased by those words.

But Cecilia wouldn't soften her heart because of this.

"K423," Cecilia said, "You need to make one fact clear first."

"Here!" K423 immediately stood up straight and said, "I'm listening."

"First of all," Cecilia said, "I'm not your mother. Your mother..."

What should I say? Should I tell her that her mother is actually Kiana? That she's a clone? That she's Kiana and Sirin's daughter? But wouldn't saying that be even harder for her to accept?

This is absolutely outrageous!

How can I say it without sounding outrageous?

"Damn it, he's dead."

"Very good, let's do it this way," Cecilia said, having spent a long time choosing a concise expression.

I reckon Otto definitely won't talk about K423's background, and I reckon no one else knows either. I reckon K423's background will likely remain a mystery.

They might directly place the blame on her mother.

No need to guess anymore.

If it weren't for this, Otto wouldn't have offered the K423 to him.

Since that's the case, let's say it that way.

"Hahaha~ You're really joking." K423 said, "How could that be! I saw it with my own eyes."

"I've already said it," Cecilia said. "Your mother is dead. I'm not your mother!"

"My Li Pu!"

"What do you mean?" K423 was puzzled. Even if he didn't want to admit it, would he really come up with such a ridiculous lie to fool her? She wasn't stupid! She wasn't Kiana!

"Kiana, why don't you come and explain?" Cecilia looked at Kiana, who seemed quite idle to the side.

"Oh, then let me explain it to you."

Since it's what Mom said, let me explain it. I'll try to make it as simple and easy to understand as possible.

The girl is explaining...

The girl finished her explanation.

"Hmm..." K423 listened carefully for a while and said, "I roughly understand, so that's basically all there is to Cecilia, my mother?"

"So what the book says is correct?"

Cecilia nodded.

"Are you a reincarnation of my mother?" K423 asked again.

"Yes," Cecilia said. "My Li Pu, but I'm not actually Cecilia."

As for the matter of reincarnation, Cecilia didn't intend to refute it. She never intended to in the first place, since she had this reason to explain her role.

So Celia accepted it, even though it brought her a lot of trouble.

"This is outrageous..." K423 felt like he was listening to some super funny joke.
