[Kiana: I'm a clone. I was the one who cut off Dad's arm, and even my name was stolen from my sister...]
Everything she had learned today was far too much for Kiana to take in. First, the Second Herrscher had turned out to be her sister. Then she learned that her mother had been killed by the Bishop of Schicksal, and that her sister was Schicksal's strongest S-rank Valkyrie. Finally, she discovered that she was not Seigfried and Cecilia's biological daughter at all. She was not even human, merely a clone created to resurrect the Herrscher of the Void.
Seeing Kiana's reaction, Theresa and the others worriedly went to her room.
Theresa and the others arrived outside Kiana's room and knocked softly. Kiana opened the door, and the moment she saw her companions, tears began streaming down her face.
"Himeko, I'm not the real Kiana... I'm just a clone... who stole someone else's name."
Himeko stepped forward and embraced Kiana, comforting her. "Kiana, don't be sad. No matter who you are, you're family to us. We'll always stay by your side."
Seeing Kiana cry, Theresa said heartbrokenly, "Kiana, just like you, I'm a clone too. My designation is A310. We're not so different, are we? Look at me—I'm living just fine now."
"Auntie, you're one too..."
Mei comforted her as well. "Kiana, your origins aren't important. No matter where you came from, no matter how you got your name, our adventures together in Changkong City and our life together at St. Freya Academy were all real, weren't they?"
Bronya comforted her too. "Bronya only knows that idiot Kiana."
At the same time, Seigfried and Durandal in the Livestream Room offered their comfort as well.
[Seigfried: Kiana, you are my daughter. No matter what anyone else thinks, you are Seigfried's daughter.]
[Durandal: That's right. The name Kiana has long since become yours, and I am your sister, Durandal.]
[Kiana: Dad... and Sis...]
Seeing how much everyone cared about her, Kiana finally began to feel much better.
That's right. No matter who I am, my memories with Mei and the others aren't fake, and neither is my bond with them. That's enough.
[Next video playing.]
[Old Yang: You bastard! Are you going to be my guide through life too?!]
(This video was made by Little Broken Site creator "Shi Anlan YA!")
At the space station, the newly awakened March 7th looked at the title in confusion.
"Uncle Yang, who is this guy? Why does he want to be your guide through life?"
Old Yang, who was looking after the newly awakened March 7th, looked rather grim at the title. A blond figure surfaced in his mind.
"Could this be..."
Before Old Yang could react, the video gave him the answer.
On the screen, a blond youth was sprawled over a hospital bed, crying his heart out. Beside him stood a pink-haired little girl, her expression equally unpleasant.
[Fu Xuan: It's me!]
[Yanqing: And me!]
[Sushang: But Yanqing, why are you crying so sadly?]
[Qingque: Great Augur looks awful too.]
[Jing Yuan: Did something happen to the Xianzhou?]
"General! How could you leave so soon? I haven't won the title of Sword Champion yet, and I haven't become a legend remembered across the Xianzhou..."
"Jing Yuan, although I've always wanted your position as general, I never expected to get it this way."
"Don't worry. I'll lead the Luofu well. I'll become a..."
[Fu Xuan: What?! Jing Yuan actually...]
[Yanqing: General!]
[Bailu: But General hasn't looked ill lately.]
[Qingque: Yeah, yeah. I even saw General wandering around Golden Man Alley a couple days ago.]
[Hu Tao: What a pity this is another world. Otherwise, Wangsheng Funeral Parlor would have had business this month.]
[Zhongli: Director, by common rationality, this is not a good time for sales.]
[Old Yang: So the Xianzhou's general was either assassinated or died protecting the Xianzhou?]
[Hua (Xianzhou Marshal): This is a provocation against the Xianzhou. Whoever did this, the arrows of The Hunt will pierce his heart!]
"Um... I'm not dead yet!" Jing Yuan, lying in the hospital bed, awkwardly reminded the two beside him.
"Ghost! ×2" Fu Xuan and Yanqing leaped up in fright at the sight of Jing Yuan "returning from the dead."
[Fu Xuan: So you're not dead!]
[Yanqing: That's great, General Jing Yuan is all right.]
[Lumine: Then why did you two in the video think General was dead?]
[Fu Xuan/Yanqing: Well...]
"Hahaha, I had Stelle tell you: I have one last thing to explain to you."
"She thought I was giving my last will and testament."
With a helpless look, Yanqing handed the peeled apple to Jing Yuan.
"General, honestly. Saying it was your last matter would obviously make people overthink it!"
Jing Yuan looked unconcerned. "My injury was almost healed, so I thought it would be the last thing I explained while lying in bed."
"Oh, right, Fu Qing. How does being general feel?" As if suddenly remembering something, Jing Yuan asked Fu Xuan, who sat beside him with her legs crossed and an irritated expression.
"You should just lie there properly. We were lucky the Stellaris Train people came to help this time. Otherwise, who knows what kind of mess would have happened."
[March 7th: We were involved too?]
[Himeko: But the Luofu isn't on our upcoming route.]
[Old Yang: It seems some accident caused us to change course.]
[Jing Yuan: Although I don't know what happened to the Future Xianzhou, Jing Yuan offers his thanks to everyone aboard the train in advance.]
[Stelle: No problem, as long as the reward is enough.]
[March 7th: Hey! Don't make us sound like we're some kind of mercenaries! Dan Heng, say something to her!]
[Blade: Dan Heng... Of five people, three must pay the price. You are one of them!]
[Dan Heng: I am not him.]
[Blade: You can't escape...]
[Sushang: But speaking of which, what could happen to the future Luofu that would make it ask the Stellaris Train for help?]
[Fu Xuan: When it comes to problems on the Xianzhou, only The Abundance comes to mind. But The Abundance alone shouldn't be able to injure General.]
[Fu Xuan: And even if some crisis struck the Luofu, it should contact the other Xianzhou ships, not seek help from the Stellaris Train.]
[Fu Xuan: That means that, besides The Abundance, other enemies will come to the Luofu in the future. And someone else was the one who asked the Stellaris Train to come to the Luofu.]
