Chapter 101

A jumble of thoughts kept flooding his mind. K422 wondered if he should take advantage of his current high position as the Acting Grand Bishop of Schicksal and do whatever he wanted... like creating a cool summer swimsuit version of the Valkyrie's combat uniform.

Or perhaps a sexy nightgown-inspired combat outfit?

If you could buy Himeko a pajama-style combat outfit like this, she'd definitely spend a fortune on it!!

Yes, and we can't forget Rita!

"Kiana..." Rita naturally felt very embarrassed, not knowing whether her current state could be considered as being taken advantage of by her boss.

It is said that such unspoken rules exist in some large companies.

Did I suffer a loss?

Rita tilted her head in thought, but her adorable figure was reflected in her wine-red eyes.

She felt like she had hit the jackpot. Putting aside the other person's personality, just the sight of that adorable face snuggling in her arms made Rita's nose itch, as if some liquid was about to well up from it.

"If Kiana is sad, feel free to act cute towards me~"

"Really? Then let's sleep together again tonight."

"... Does Kiana intend to kill me?" Rita hesitated for a moment.

She felt that she needed to become Valkyrie before she could sleep peacefully with him.

Otherwise, if you were to be unexpectedly embraced and killed by your partner in your sleep, you might end up spending the rest of your life in a intensive care unit.

A comminuted fracture might still be considered a minor injury.

"Rita, don't say things that will ruin the atmosphere at a time like this."

"Who said something so mood-ruining first? Can't you just act cute normally?" Rita said, blushing.

Although we're all girls, I've heard that the Valkyrie seem to all have this kind of interest.

There are several couples in the Assault Team. It is said that because of the "no man after death" principle, many Valkyrie basically only talk about love and not about the future... After all, for the Valkyrie who fight against Honkai, their fate is mostly to sacrifice themselves on the Honkai battlefield.

Rarely, Captain Lewis is said to have a boyfriend.

So many of the lithe and agile Valkyrie in her team couldn't find boyfriends, but Captain Lewis, who was as strong as a bear, did.

Of course, this was something that the members of Lewis's team talked about secretly when they were gossiping.

It's said that they once saw Captain Lewis wearing a skirt on a date with a man.

They dared not spread this news around. Not only would Captain Lewis definitely punish them, but the other Valkyrie without men would certainly find an excuse to beat them up as well.

"Then just act cute normally~"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Only at this moment did Rita feel that the other person was like a child.

Despite being two or three years younger than her, he bore unimaginable pressure.

"Although I don't know why Kiana came back, let me serve Kiana well. I learned a lot of massage techniques from Liv."

Rita answered with a smile.

She had also wanted to learn massage as a surprise for Laguna, who had been very tired lately.

After all, Laguna was her savior.

"Heh heh, a lewd massage, huh?"

"Kiana, your thinking is a bit old-fashioned," Rita said, blushing. "I really don't know who influenced your dirty way of thinking."

"I've heard my dad's a playboy..."

"Please don't try to shift the blame." Rita rolled her eyes.

The other party's father was a traitor who betrayed Schicksal a long time ago and was also known as a stain on the Kaslana Family. Because of Cecilia, the other party was considered an enemy of the Valkyrie.

It is said that Kiana was only 2 years old when the other party betrayed Schicksal, so even if she was affected, it was impossible for her to have been affected at such a young age.

"That's the Kaslana Family's instinct! I, Kaslana, like girls!"

"Kiana!!" Rita replied, both amused and exasperated, angrily ruffling the other's soft hair.

Rita was always confident in her observation skills, so she knew that the other person must have encountered something unhappy, which was why he deliberately tried to act cute towards her.

If Himeko were here, perhaps by now, the other person would have already thrown himself into Himeko's arms.

"What exactly is the difference between me and Himeko? Age? Or... uh, breasts?!"

Rita seemed to realize something, and at the same time felt an itch on her chest, and said in an annoyed and embarrassed tone, "Kiana! When are you going to stop rubbing against me!"

No wonder the other party's maid said that the other party's sleeping posture was sometimes terrible, and he would often start rubbing against her chest while sleeping.

Despite his young age, he is undoubtedly a breast-shaped alien!

K422's sudden escape certainly left Siegfried feeling helpless.

The questions from Welt and the others made him question the meaning of life.

Am I really that much of a failure? Even if she's just a clone, she should still be my daughter.

However, K423 still didn't get close to him, and the Little Princess of Schicksal even turned and ran away the moment she saw him.

Siegfried crouched in the corner and lit a cigarette for himself with the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment.

He fully understood Raiden Ryoma's feelings at that moment.

Because he was busy with work and wanted to protect his daughter, Raiden Ryoma reduced the number of times he met with the other party. As a result, on the day he took K423 to see his daughter, he clearly felt that a distance had grown between his daughter and him.

I cried about this during our conversation about the fathers' alliance yesterday.

Raiden Ryoma felt that he had failed to take good care of his daughter and protect her.

After his wife passed away, he realized he hadn't given his daughter nearly enough attention.

Siegfried now felt that Raiden Ryoma's self-blame was also piercing his heart.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't given her enough care that K423 still didn't like him, and that's why K422, K423's older sister, hated him so much.

Even if I were to meet the real Kiana, I'm afraid I would feel alienated from her because of the spiritual connection between the three of us.

He thought of his wife, who had also passed away.

Siegfried took a deep drag on his cigarette.

"It's decided! I'm going to be Aurora's absolute favorite father! And then I'll become that Saintess's absolute favorite father, so that the real Kiana will love me the most, the most, the most."

Siegfried, having made up his mind, wanted to fire a couple of shots to celebrate, but he knew that Welt was discussing important matters with Laguna at that moment.

It seems that Laguna and her Assault Team later provided some clues to the Anti-Entropy, which in turn provided combat power when she needed it.

Siegfried was stunned; he never expected that Welt would have managed to develop such a spy within the Schicksal.

"Since it was the Little Princess who introduced us, I naturally agree." Welt saw that the communicator he had left for K422 was in Laguna's hands, and at this moment he fully understood the Little Princess's position.

At least she didn't share Otto's views.

108. This night was so... unforgettable.

Welt was glad he had come.

"Miss Laguna, just as that Little Princess said, we are indeed willing to offer our help, whether it is to fight against Schicksal or to save ordinary people. We are of the same mind on this matter."

Laguna nodded.

She didn't actually intend to undermine Schicksal.

However, not cracking down on research institutes like Schicksal that conduct human experiments would go against her beliefs.

At the very least, she couldn't knowingly allow scientists to conduct such reckless experiments that toyed with life, despite knowing the dark side of Schicksal.

"Yes, we share the same interests." Laguna extended his hand to Welt.

Welt also extended his hand and shook hands with Laguna.

Afterwards, the two discussed some details, and then Welt and the others quickly left.

Unfortunately, they were unable to achieve their initial goal.

It has to be said, Siegfried really knows how to mess things up.

They considered the possibility that K422 might be in league with Otto and that a conflict might arise, and they also considered that K422 might waver because Siegfried said, "I am your father."

But I never imagined that she wouldn't give Siegfried a single word.

They never imagined they could escape like this. Fortunately, they Cocolia's joining Schicksal can also serve as a messenger between Anti-Entropy and Schicksal.

After all, K422 is now the Acting Grand Bishop of Schicksal, and even Theresa has become Schicksal's Grand Bishop's Aide.

It's fair to say that the world is beginning to change!

After Welt and the others retreated, Cocolia and Laguna, who had officially joined Schicksal, began to maintain order at the orphanage.

Cocolia was naturally very nervous as it was her first time working with A-rank Valkyrie.

She was still a little dazed, having considered the consequences of being exposed.

They will either be silenced by the World Serpent, flee to the territory of Anti-Entropy, or be wiped out by Schicksal.

Cocolia never expected that she would become a spy for the Schicksal, and a multi-faceted spy at that, juggling multiple relationships.

The consequence of juggling multiple relationships seems to be either being silenced, fleeing, or being wiped out...

"Could I really die a horrible death?"

Cocolia's feelings were extremely complicated.

It was at least a thousand times more complicated than when I was simultaneously acting as Anti-Entropy executor and cooperating with the World Serpent.

Lewis's team, returning to their Russian base, found K422 in his room, where he was already asleep with his arm around Rita's waist.

"... Kiana already gone to sleep?"

A Valkyrie tiptoed into the room and quietly asked Rita, who was still awake.

Rita nodded.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow," Rita replied.

Upon hearing the reply, the Valkyrie glanced at the adorable sleeping face and couldn't resist taking out her communicator to snap two photos.

Then, before Rita could get angry, he hurriedly ran out of the room.

"... She really is loved by everyone." As she spoke, Rita took out her communicator and started snapping photos non-stop.

She truly had no idea what K422 had gone through that day.

But judging from her unease, it certainly wasn't a pleasant thing.

Unfortunately, I cannot share her burden.

Thinking about this, Rita frowned.

She originally wanted to rely on the other person, to use their power to protect her, who was weak.

However, being too weak, I seem unable to do anything and have no ability to share the other person's worries.

"... It seems that the training for reserve candidates should be taken seriously."

Rita muttered softly.

Rita had been a member of the Schicksal for some time, and she had heard that the training at Schicksal Headquarters was the most rigorous. However, Rita felt that the training for the candidates was too simple, far less so than watching the Assault Team fight alongside Laguna.

Although Rita couldn't understand the Assault Team's greatsword techniques, she discovered their weakness.

Laguna didn't see Rita's talent, but Rita had already vaguely sensed it.

She can easily read other people's emotions. After all, she is always observing other people's words and actions, and her keen insight allows her to easily discover so-called weaknesses.

Of course, while she could find a weakness in Laguna, she couldn't find even a single weakness in K422.

As for Murata Himeko, a newcomer to the Assault Team, Rita, who had seen her fight a few times, didn't want to comment on this girl who was weak from beginning to end.

Especially those big breasts, they're such a hindrance in battle.

Well, she wasn't envious, jealous, or resentful.
