Chapter 458

After the initial shock.

The surrounding Ship Girls started discussing it amongst themselves.

I felt somewhat happy and somewhat joyful.

Some even started to fantasize about it.

Yes, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

It's really not easy to get enough to eat!

Not to mention the big ships, even the small ships are almost unable to withstand the strain.

They are unable to advance beyond map 1 to map 2, or even later maps, because apart from the Sirens' unreasonable increase in strength, they lack sufficient resources. Whether it's mobility, artillery fire, torpedo attacks, or even aircraft bombing, they are completely stretched thin.

We don't have enough ammunition.

All our efforts could be wasted in a matter of minutes.

We don't have enough ammunition to fight.

The damage will be greater, the losses will be greater, and it will be even less worthwhile.

This is really frustrating!

You could say that.

That's all.

Kiana won the favor of all the Sakura Empire Ship Girls.

Some of them didn't feel anything about the arrival of Goddess. But now, Goddess? No, this is my mom!

"Aren't we supposed to prepare the highest level of ceremony to welcome the arrival of our Goddess?"

"Now that we have these resources, we have nothing to worry about! Let's get started!"

"..."

"I wonder when exactly the Goddess will descend..."

"Does Shinano know?"

"..."

Although.

Using the resources bestowed by the Goddess to host a welcome banquet for her Goddess's flowers to offer to Buddha.

But it's okay.

In fact, it's better this way.

The Ship Girls were all filled with enthusiasm.

The entire Sakura Empire faction was in an uproar.

It felt like we were very far apart, yet we could still sense it.

This surprised even the Sirens on duty today.

So much time has passed.

Has the Sakura Empire finally gone mad?

Meanwhile, on this side...

After squandering a bunch of resources and dumping them on Shinano, Kiana headed to the world of Frieren.

As soon as it arrived.

Then I saw little Frieren, so small and chubby, standing in front of me like a little fatso.

Welcome yourself.

A little behind Frieren were Heiter, Aize, and Frieren.

When the three of them noticed that Kiana had seen them, they nodded slightly and gave each other a kind smile.

Although Frieren and the others still had many, many detailed questions they wanted to ask.

However, there's no rush.

Kiana picked up Frieren without hesitation.

I followed behind them.

We entered the small house.

Then, I sat down.

Have some tea.

"It's just some coarse tea, please don't mind it," Heiter said gently.

"It's okay."

Kiana smiled.

In the end.

She glanced at the three of them, and finally her gaze settled on Frieren. She said softly, "Frieren has told you my thoughts, hasn't she? So, Frieren, what do you think?"

"Do you... want Schicksal to come back?" Kiana asked with interest.

Frieren paused for a moment, then said, "As a companion, of course I want him to come back."

"What if it's not as companions?"

Kiana smiled.

Heiter and Aize, both seemingly oblivious to everything, kept their eyes down and didn't interfere with Frieren's choice, quietly drinking their tea.

"I..."

Frieren thought for a moment, then said very seriously, "I don't know."

"Never mind."

Kiana smiled wryly.

"Anyway, after resurrecting Schicksal, you, and all of you... will have plenty of time. Remember, this is not just a blessing, it's also a curse..."

She said.

"You will live longer and longer than anyone else, and even if the world is destroyed, I will guide you."

"..."

"Ah, of course!"

"Even if this world is not connected to the Main World, it will be protected by me and will not be destroyed."

"You can rest assured about that."

"..."

Kiana clasped her hands together slightly and smiled brightly.

Looking at her like this, Frieren seemed to sigh, or perhaps she breathed a sigh of relief.

"As expected... you're quite a capricious Goddess..."

But.

She doesn't dislike it.

PS1: Second update delivered, one more to come~~

446. Schicksal, this is all we can do for you.

[Artemis]: My Young Lady, how is the situation on your end?

[Kiana]: Schicksal has been resurrected.

Kiana suddenly realized that now that the bandwidth is more abundant and there's more data, uploading a video or photo occasionally might not be so bad...

Why not next time?

Let's add this feature to chat groups.

She was thinking of taking a picture and sending it to the group chat.

In the end, a compromise was reached.

I grabbed a camera, took a picture, printed it out, and sent it as a red envelope to someone.

So you can see it.

In the photo.

Heiter, a young man, stroked a young man with a look of great satisfaction.

And that so-called young man was Schicksal in his youth.

Schicksal stared blankly, looking bewildered. Aize, worried that he might think he was dreaming, simply punched him.

Old woman Frieren, holding Frieren's hand, sat down beside them.

Even though she thought she had no expression, the corners of her mouth actually turned up slightly.

I was very happy.

It is obvious.

Although, judging by time...

At this point in time, Schicksal would already be buried. Perhaps, he would already be nothing but bones.

If Kiana wanted, it wouldn't be impossible to retrieve her directly and then proceed with physical restoration.

But.

She really does prefer to bring him directly from the long river of history to the present time.

To be precise, it was a replica of a body, but the soul remained Schicksal's soul.

This is something we need to make sure we do.

Under normal circumstances, the soul exists.

The difference lies in the fact that some worlds can perceive the soul and even influence it, while others cannot.

It is precisely because it is impossible to know.

Unable to be observed.

Therefore, some believe in the existence of the soul but cannot prove it. Others, however, believe that the soul does not exist.

Frieren was initially skeptical about the concept of the soul.

But now, she believes it.

She and Heiter and the others witnessed Kiana sculpt a body resembling Schicksal's, and then insert a semi-transparent object into Schicksal's body.

The previously silent body began to come alive and move.

It seems like a very simple operation.

Actually, it really is amazing...

"So that's how it is..."

At this moment.

Schicksal finally learned everything from Heiter and the others.

Gratefully, he picked up Frieren and rubbed against her repeatedly.

Then, in an exaggerated manner, he suddenly lunged at Frieren. Frieren blocked him with her staff, looking at him with disgust.

"Waaaaaah... Frieren, I knew it, I knew it! You couldn't bear to part with me..."

"Look at my feelings for you, even the gods are moved!"
