Collapse, I became Duck's daughter at the start?

Lin Li took the phone from Theresa, took a picture of herself, then changed the eyes in the photo to sky blue before handing it to them.

"Hiss..."

Theresa was completely brainstorming now, while Kiana's eyes flickered.

"I think it doesn't look bad."

"What doesn't look bad?! This is simply..."

Theresa still found it hard to believe that Lin Li was born to two girls.

Even Schicksal couldn't achieve this kind of technology yet.

If such technology existed, it would have already spread within Schicksal.

"Why not? Our biology teacher said girls have XX chromosomes, right? So, children born from two girls would also have XX chromosomes?"

"So girls born to girls are girls."

Hearing Kiana's theory, "Lin Li," who had been bored, was shocked.

"You're a genius."

Chapter 7: Bronya: Your Name Is...

"Kiana, don't just listen to half of what's being said in class next time..."

Although Kiana listening to class was a small surprise for Theresa, the overall effect was worse than not listening.

"Nyah..."

Kiana scratched her head; she thought it made perfect sense.

"Little Lin Li, do you have any identification documents on you? If not, I'll help you get them from the Far East."

Living in the Far East without proof of identity is quite troublesome, and it's even needed for admission to St. Freya Academy.

"No, the director never made me any identification documents."

Lin Li shook her head gently.

"I see..."

This wasn't a difficult task for Theresa. As long as she asked, she could get identity documents from almost anywhere, as countries still gave Schicksal a lot of face.

"So, Little Lin Li, whose surname will you take? Your Bronya mother? Or your Seele mother? Do you want her to give you a new name?"

Judging by Lin Li's reaction, she didn't like the orphanage in the Far East where she was raised. Since her identity was going to be reissued, it would be good for Bronya to give her a new name. Even if Lin Li wanted her original name, they could just assign a Far Eastern name later.

"Either is fine with me."

Lin Li nodded obediently.

She wasn't particularly sensitive about names. The reason she was called Lin Li was simply because no one else had named her besides the director.

She had thought about changing her name later, but she hadn't acted on it because there were too many things to do.

"Bronya, come in."

Seeing that the time was about right, Theresa still called Bronya in.

She knew Bronya had been waiting at the door and hadn't left. After listening for so long, she should have calmed down.

Besides, only Bronya could complete the next task.

Even if Bronya didn't want to acknowledge it, the report was right there. There was no doubt that Lin Li and Bronya were related by blood.

"I..."

Taking the report from Theresa, Bronya only glanced at it to confirm the results.

At this moment, this was both good news and bad news for her.

The bad news was that she had a ten-year-old daughter at only fourteen years old. The good news was that this daughter was likely hers and Seele's...

With Lin Li's appearance, Bronya wouldn't believe for a second that she wasn't related to Seele.

Lin Li herself had just said that she was her and Seele's child.

But...

Even as a genius, Bronya knew that she and Seele couldn't have children, even without extensive research into biology.

Even clones couldn't possess so many of their genetic traits simultaneously, and current cloning experiments had significant flaws; even a clone without any genetic modifications could have unexpected outcomes.

"Was this an experiment by Mother Cocolia?"

Bronya strongly suspected Cocolia had conducted the experiment.

"Bronya..."

Seeing the conflicted expression on Bronya's face, Lin Li started to call out to her but stopped halfway, afraid that her address would bother Bronya.

"Good girl."

Bronya didn't feel any negative emotions. On the contrary, after recovering and accepting reality, she felt a little happy for some reason.

She reached out and patted Lin Li's head. Bronya knew that no matter how she was born, she was inextricably linked to her. She couldn't just abandon a child who was just over ten years old.

Even though she was only fourteen, Bronya's mind was more mature than that of most adults.

"From now on, you'll take Seele's surname."

Looking at Lin Li's appearance, there was no doubt that Seele's genes were clearly dominant, and it suited her quite well.

"What should her name be? Let me think..."

Bronya was a little conflicted.

She was good at naming game characters, but she had never thought about what to name her own child.

"How about Losha?"

"Losha Floe."

Bronya looked at Lin Li, a little worried she might dislike the name she chose.

With so little time, she had no reference and could only break apart and combine familiar characters.

"Mhm, my name is Losha Floe."

Hearing the name Bronya gave her, Lin Li happily swayed her little head.

She would like any name Bronya, her mother, gave her.

"She's hopeless."

"Lin Li," oh no, now she had to be renamed "Losha."

She didn't care about names either, but since this was a name Bronya chose, she found herself disliking it a bit.

What she wanted was someone who could truly protect Losha, not someone whose mind was always filled with "Seele, Seele."

"Ha..."

The moment she saw the smile on Losha's face, Bronya, although her expression didn't change, felt a sense of relief.

If Losha were treated as a replacement for Seele, not only would Losha resent it, but Bronya herself would also feel uncomfortable deep down.

But if Losha were truly treated as their daughter, then it would be a little different.

One was a "comrade," the other was a child.

Seeing Seele's shadow in Losha wouldn't make her reject Losha; on the contrary, it would make her like her more, because she also saw her own shadow in Losha.

"That's good, then."

Seeing the mother-daughter relationship between Bronya and Losha gradually ease, Theresa also felt relieved.

At their current state, Bronya and Losha should be able to get along well in the future. Originally, according to the worst-case scenario, she could have adopted Losha.

Emotionally, she truly liked this child; she was drawn to her the first moment she saw her.

Rationally, as the Head of the Academy, she couldn't not cultivate such an excellent Valkyrie prospect.

"Sigh, what a shame, Bronya, can you let Losha sleep with me for two days? Just two days!"

Kiana, seeing this scene, felt a bit regretful. If Bronya had accepted her a couple of days later, Losha could have been with her during those two days.

She also really liked this child; she hadn't felt this strongly when she first saw Mei.

"No, if it's the silly Kiana, she'll definitely do strange things."

Bronya picked Losha up from Theresa's arms and refused directly.

"This child..."

The moment she held Losha, Bronya felt not only a soft body but also a distinct convergence of energies.

Even Project Bunny behind her instinctively reached out to protect Losha.

"You approve of her too?"

Bronya murmured, noticing Project Bunny's reaction.

Project Bunny was the last gift Seele gave her, and Bronya didn't know if Seele could sense anything through Project Bunny, but its action put her mind at ease.

"I wonder what Seele's reaction will be when she sees her?"

Chapter 8: Raiden Mei: I Want to Make Her Cry?

"There, now you're happy living with your beloved Bronya, right?"

"Losha" quipped.

In the afternoon, Theresa was helping Losha with various documents. In the evening, because they were either in class or handling business, and didn't have time to clean the room, Bronya said she needed time to adjust and that it wasn't safe for Losha to sleep with Kiana, so tonight she would sleep with Mei.

"Aren't you happy? Why do you dislike Bronya so much?"

Losha asked, confused.

"...As long as you're happy."

"Losha" was silent for a moment. For her, as a twin consciousness, she would only consider Losha's current situation.

In reality, given Losha's identity, joining Schicksal would be much more stable than joining St. Freya Academy, but she was afraid Otto might be interested in the natural Stigmata on Losha.

"If you want to stay with them, then stay. Six months is enough time."

"Losha," she said helplessly.

From her perspective, she had thought this reorganization was the most stable, but she hadn't expected an accident to occur.

"I should have used Raiden Mei's template back then."

Looking at the purple-haired girl affectionately tidying up Losha's clothes beside her, "Losha" thought.

But in reality, it didn't matter. This period in the early stages of the story was the safest time in the entire Honkai.

Later on, there would be things like the Super Honkai Beast, the Ancestor Kevin, and the False God Otto, which were not things ordinary people could handle.

The only difficult opponents currently were those two S-rank Valkyries, and even if she couldn't defeat them, "Losha" was confident she could escape.

"Losha, here's a set of pajamas for you."

Raiden Mei looked at the petite, blue-haired girl. From the moment she first saw Losha, she had felt a peculiar sensation.

It wasn't the extreme stunning beauty brought by her appearance, but a unique aura emanating from within.

She was the type who became cuter the more you looked at her. No wonder Kiana had pestered Bronya relentlessly to let Losha sleep with her.

"Okay, Mei-sister."

Losha nodded obediently and then changed into the pajamas.

The endearing aura of the already small girl, now wearing slightly oversized pajamas, made even the "Losha" beside her unable to help but purse her lips.

"This idiot, why is she so adorably foolish..."

Even though she knew Losha had a talent for "maximum same-sex attraction," she really couldn't stand it.
