Siegfried Slacking Off

In the video.

After deciding to bring Kiana along, Theresa contacted headquarters via the communication device and also obtained Siegfried's location.

Upon hearing that she was about to meet her long-lost father, Kiana felt both happy and nervous.

"Oh right, Theresa, I need to ask you for a favor. After we meet Siegfried, please hide the fact that I'm his illegitimate daughter."

"Huh? Why? Aren't you..."

Theresa didn't quite understand why Kiana, who had been clamoring to find Siegfried earlier, suddenly didn't want to acknowledge him.

Seeing Theresa's confused expression, Kiana did her best, using all her learned skills to concoct what she thought was a perfect lie.

"Um... you see, this is a critical period in our mission. If we waste time on such a small matter, then Mom... Lady Cecilia might be in danger!"

The thought of her mother, whom she had never met, being in danger made Kiana's tone anxious.

"So, we need to meet Siegfried quickly and then defeat the Second Herrscher!"

Seeing Kiana so focused on the bigger picture, Theresa couldn't help but sigh in admiration, "Understood, truly worthy of being my niece~"

In the real world, upon seeing this, netizens burst into laughter and started making jokes in the comments.

[Derp-lisa, what did you understand!!!]

[LOL, so funny, Bug-chan and Derp-lisa, two big idiots.]

[I get it now. No wonder Kiana and Theresa are both so powerful. It turns out they traded their IQs for it!]

[You punk.JPG, then how do you explain Ye Li?]

While the netizens were discussing, Theresa and Kiana also arrived at the designated meeting spot.

What greeted them was a handsome uncle with a white ponytail, sitting not far away, looking at them with a smile.

"Yo~ Theresa, you finally made it. I heard you met the Second Herrscher before, I was really worried about you."

Normally, when a man speaks to a woman in a slightly flippant tone, women would subconsciously feel uncomfortable.

But strangely, neither Theresa in the video nor the women watching the video in the real world felt that way.

Not only did they not feel uncomfortable, but they even felt an inexplicable sense of ease.

[My new husband!]

[Father-in-law, please accept this humble son-in-law's bow!]

[You kid upstairs, I noticed you long ago! You're stealing my wife, and now you're starting to steal my father-in-law too, huh!]

[Gotta say, even though miHoYo's writers aren't human, they really know how to cast! This handsome uncle is exactly my type!]

In the real world, Schicksal Headquarters.

Siegfried Kaslana was smoking a cigarette in the company hallway.

Just then, the hallway door was suddenly pushed open, startling Siegfried. He quickly stomped out the cigarette butt and pretended to be playing on his phone.

He was afraid of being caught by the cleaning lady and reported to Cecilia.

Little did he know that the smell of smoke lingering in the air and the dark phone screen had already betrayed him.

"Senior Siegfried, so you were here~"

A sweet voice came, and what greeted Siegfried's eyes was a girl with long, gray-blue hair.

She wore a cute white-trimmed mini-dress, a playful blue bow tied at the collar, black thigh-high socks, and white thigh-high boots with two black straps.

For most men, if such a young and cute girl approached them, they would secretly be pleased.

However, Siegfried was different.

"Ah~ it's Shigure Kira."

Seeing that the person who came wasn't the cleaning lady, Siegfried let out a sigh of relief, took another cigarette out of his pocket, "Um... I'm going to smoke, mind if I do?"

Shigure Kira shook her head, forcibly suppressing the disgust in her eyes, and said coquettishly, "It's fine, I'll leave soon. Oh right... Senior Siegfried, have you been watching P-site recently?"

"No, my department's business has been quite busy lately, I don't have time for that."

Siegfried lit the cigarette and began to exhale smoke, "Let alone playing on my phone, even this time to smoke is squeezed in."

Shigure Kira tilted her head and put on a look of concern, speaking softly, "You've worked hard, Senior Siegfried~ It's most important to balance work and rest.

Oh right, there's a very popular video on P-site called [Honkai Impact 3rd]. I saw Bianca and Kiana in it~"

"Oh~ you mean that one, I watched it before."

As soon as he mentioned his daughter, Siegfried's usually gloomy expression softened.

"I didn't expect those two girls to actually go make a movie. Just like Cecilia's daughters~"

Upon hearing Cecilia's name, Shigure Kira's eyes lit up considerably.

But the thought that the goddess she admired had become a married woman filled Shigure Kira with indignation.

"I'm surprised too, but what surprised me the most was you, Siegfried senpai~" Shigure Kira said through gritted teeth.

"Huh?" Siegfried looked utterly bewildered. "What about me?"

"Don't play dumb, Siegfried senpai. You appeared in the latest video too..."

Siegfried didn't really pay attention to the rest of her words.

After simply brushing off Shigure Kira, Siegfried quickly took out his phone and opened the latest video.

After confirming that the man in the video was indeed him, Siegfried couldn't help but form a big question mark.

???

How come I don't remember going to make a movie?

It could only be said that he was truly a typical Kaslana family member with his absentmindedness.

In this situation, his first reaction wasn't to suspect the source of the video, but rather to doubt his own memory.

Meanwhile, just as Siegfried was looking at his phone, completely lost, a sneaky figure behind the stairwell door was staring at him fiercely.

"Hmph~ I really don't know what Cecilia-sama sees in this mediocre man!"

Click.

Accompanied by a faint shutter sound, the stairwell's fire door was quietly closed.

Immediately after, a photo titled "Siegfried Caught Slacking Off in the Stairwell, Smoking and Watching Videos," posted by an anonymous account, spread throughout the entire department.
