Ling Feng and Kiana searched for a shop that could restore Theresa’s magical dress until they encountered Otto and a hostile masked girl. They found a store willing to consider an exact restoration, but its owner still had to approve the work.

• Ling Feng and Kiana searched dozens of clothing stores, but none could restore Theresa’s magical dress to their requirements.
• Otto met Ling Feng and Kiana, while the masked girl behind him reacted to Kiana with hostility and called her a thief.
• Kiana retreated behind Ling Feng, and Otto offered to help them search; the masked girl followed, jealous of Kiana.
• At a high-end clothing store, a saleswoman said the dress could be restored but would be expensive and required the owner’s approval.

Ling Feng and Kiana visited a clothing store to ask its elderly owner to repair the Academy Head’s Magical Girl dress, but the owner recognized Kiana as Cecilia and Sigfried’s daughter and revealed an eighteenth-birthday gift her mother had left for her. Kiana received the Winter Princess dress and a photograph from Cecilia, while the masked girl’s intense reaction grew as she approached the dress.

• Ling Feng asked the elderly clothing-store owner to repair the Academy Head’s Magical Girl dress, and the owner recognized Kiana as Cecilia and Sigfried’s daughter.
• The owner led Ling Feng, Kiana, Otto, and the masked girl to a hidden room and revealed the Winter Princess, a birthday dress Cecilia had designed for Kiana.
• The owner gave Kiana a photograph of her parents with a message from Cecilia, and Kiana cried as she read it.
• Kiana kept the message private and teased with Ling Feng while admiring the dress, and the masked girl radiated anger as Otto watched.
• The masked girl walked up to the Winter Princess and reached out to touch it, prompting Kiana to object that it was hers.

Ling Feng defused the masked girl's anger by arranging a second Winter Princess gown, and she revealed that she was the abandoned Kiana Kaslana whom Schicksal had replaced with the Kiana who escaped with Sigfried. Kiana accepted the gift, but the masked girl's resentment remained as Ling Feng ordered a third gown and stirred up more jealousy.

• The masked girl grew hostile toward Kiana over the Winter Princess gown until the old man suggested Cecilia had designed it to fit her better.
• Ling Feng offered to pay for a custom gown, and the old man revealed that Cecilia and Sigfried had never paid for the original, then quoted a discounted price for two.
• Ling Feng offered the masked girl a gown as Cecilia's gift, and she thanked him in a voice identical to Kiana's.
• The masked girl recalled how Sigfried left her at Schicksal and how headquarters records identified the Kiana who escaped with him as Kiana Kaslana, while she was reduced to a nameless attendant.
• Kiana agreed to the second gown, though the masked girl still believed the name, gown, and Ling Feng should have been hers.
• Ling Feng ordered a third gown with smaller chest measurements, prompting the old man to tease him about making one for a daughter and Kiana to question who would receive it.

Ling Feng and Kiana left the clothing store with the Winter Princess gown, while Ling Feng suspected the masked girl might be Kiana’s clone. They spent the day together in Europe, and that night Kiana dressed in the gown, unaware that Ling Feng had deliberately misplaced her panties.

• The old man explained that Cecilia had paid for the original Winter Princess gown, charged Ling Feng for a second one, and agreed to redesign it as a Winter Queen.
• Ling Feng left the store with Kiana and wondered whether the hostile masked girl was a clone created from Kiana at Schicksal headquarters.

• Around eleven, Kiana fell asleep, and Ling Feng covered her with a blanket and stayed beside her.

Ling Feng confronted Sigfried, who revealed why he had left Kiana and that he could no longer watch over her. After hearing about Otto’s masked companion, Ling Feng deduced that the Kiana living with him was a clone and that the masked girl might be the real Kiana.

• Ling Feng recognized Sigfried and Tengu's Judgment, then learned that Sigfried had secretly followed Kiana and left after Sirin broke his arm.
• Sigfried explained that Otto had sacrificed Cecilia during the Second Honkai War, so he had taken Kiana away from Schicksal and now planned to seek the truth and prepare for another war.
• Ling Feng asked whether Kiana had a sister after describing Otto’s masked companion; Sigfried suspected the girl might be the real Kiana but concealed his thoughts.
• Ling Feng pointed out the masked girl’s attachment to Cecilia and the Winter Princess, and Sigfried privately realized she might be his real daughter while deciding not to reveal the truth.
• Ling Feng challenged Sigfried’s claim that the masked girl was a clone, reasoning from Kiana’s missing childhood memories and her altered genes that the Kiana with him had been created through embryo cloning.

Sigfried told Ling Feng how the clone Kiana became his daughter and asked him to take her to a church wedding ceremony the next day. Ling Feng accepted two rings meant for Kiana and the True Kiana, then woke beside Kiana and pulled her back into bed.

• Sigfried revealed that the Kiana he raised was a clone he had named after his daughter, and he began to love her after she protected him from Honkai Beasts.

• Sigfried gave Ling Feng Cecilia’s Kaslana family ring for Kiana and a Saniyat Family ring to pass to the True Kiana by Otto’s side.
• Sigfried left Ling Feng with the rings and asked him not to tell Kiana about his visit, while Ling Feng wondered whether Sigfried faced a dangerous mission.
• Kiana woke in Ling Feng’s arms, tried to slip away, and Ling Feng pulled her back beneath him.

• Ling Feng persuaded Kiana to try a wedding experience, and the two exchanged vows at a church before he placed a ring bearing the Kaslana crest on her finger.

• Ling Feng gave Kiana the Winter Princess and brought gifts and European specialties back from his trip.
• At dinner, Fu Hua served Ling Feng food she had made with Mei’s guidance, while Kiana shared food with him and Mei watched them closely.

• After Ling Feng left, Himeko admitted she had pretended to be drunk to test him and considered whether she should make her interest in him clearer.

Ling Feng reconciled with the Queen in Imaginary Space after she feared he treated her like a pet, while the following weeks brought major changes to Team 233 and little progress on the remaining Herrscher Cores. The chapter ended with Fu Hua suffering unexplained nausea and deciding to seek Tesla’s help.

• The Queen accused Ling Feng of treating her like a pet, and he reassured her before taking her to shower with him.

• Rita transferred to St. Freya Academy, Fu Hua joined Team 233, and Theresa arranged for two battleships to be built for the academy.
• During training, Fu Hua suddenly felt nauseated, left the training room, and decided to visit Tesla after retching outside.

• Fu Hua visited Tesla after feeling nauseous, and Tesla examined her and confirmed that she was pregnant.
• Fu Hua refused Tesla’s suggestion of ending the pregnancy and asked her to keep the news secret until Fu Hua could speak with Ling Feng herself.
• Fu Hua left the laboratory worrying about telling Ling Feng, marriage, and how to care for a child, then searched online for pregnancy advice.
• Over the next two days, Fu Hua became distracted during training and repeatedly postponed telling Ling Feng.
• Rita noticed Fu Hua’s changed behavior, nausea, and short absences, and suspected that something had happened.

Team 233 received orders to investigate the legendary Nine Nether, believed to lie beneath the South Sea and possibly contain the Xuanyuan Sword or other Divine Keys. The team set out aboard the Hyperion, and Himeko led a diving party toward the suspected site while Fu Hua’s pregnancy remained a secret from Ling Feng.

• Fu Hua left training with Rita, who suspected she was pregnant and began questioning her before Theresa’s message summoned Team 233.
• Tesla and Theresa explained that murals from five ruins pointed to Nine Nether beneath the sea, where the Xuanyuan Sword and other Divine Keys might be hidden.
• Theresa ordered Team 233 to investigate; after Fu Hua insisted on joining, Ling Feng supported her, and Theresa sent the whole team to the Hyperion.
• The Hyperion reached the target waters, and Himeko volunteered to lead Kiana and the others underwater while Ling Feng stayed on the bridge.
• Kiana promised Ling Feng she would find the entrance, and he warned her to follow orders or go without meat at dinner.

Himeko, Mei, Kiana, and Bronya were swallowed into Nine Nether when a giant hole opened on the seafloor, leaving Ling Feng and the gathered Schicksal and Anti-Entropy forces to organize a rescue. Mei later contacted the Hyperion and confirmed that she and Himeko were alive inside Nine Nether, while the separated Kiana and Bronya also found a way to reconnect with the ship.

• Himeko's team used a Sound Wave bomb to open a cave, revealing a vast hollow and exposing the Anti-Entropy mechs hidden nearby.
