Chapter 116

Then her gaze fell on Siegfried, who was wearing a trench coat, sunglasses, and a cigarette dangling from his lips, exuding a powerful aura.

Siegfried's reunion with True Kiana allowed him to fully accept the fact that he had three daughters.

Under K422's and True Kiana's persuasion, Siegfried understood True Kiana's situation and naturally dared not take True Kiana out without permission. He even wanted to bring K423 here as well.

However, K423's situation is somewhat different from True Kiana's.

Moreover, K423 now has the name Aurora S. Tesla Yang. With a little disguise, she is just an ordinary Nordic exchange student and it is not easy for people to associate her with Kiana Kaslana.

After rejecting Siegfried's proposal, K422 also told Siegfried not to linger there.

He also left his contact number so that True Kiana could contact him.

During his time alone with True Kiana, Siegfried also learned about K422's efforts from True Kiana. After all, K423 was not good with words, and it was difficult for the Anti-Entropy organization members to learn about K422's actions from her.

Siegfried desperately wanted K422's approval at this time.

At this moment, he was dressed in a trench coat and sunglasses to enhance his handsomeness, hoping to make K422 fall in love with her handsome father.

He clearly knew his reputation at Schicksal Headquarters wasn't great, so to clear up the bad impression he'd given K422, Siegfried got a beard trimmed, went to a hair salon, and even sprayed on a lot of men's cologne.

Of course, he didn't know that doing so would actually deter K422 from getting close.

K422's body has surpassed that of ordinary humans, so its sense of smell is naturally more sensitive.

K422 found the overwhelming amount of men's cologne, which most people would find pungent, even more unbearable. Just the sight of Siegfried getting close made her feel like she was about to die.

Completely unaware that his popularity with K422 was steadily declining, Siegfried shook his stylish trench coat and lit a cigarette with the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment.

"..."

"..."

The Valkyrie at the Russian post all looked at the man posing with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

"Please don't mind him." K422 felt extremely embarrassed.

Before she recognized Siegfried, she didn't actually feel embarrassed.

At that time, I naturally thought that it would be good to get recognition, and if I didn't get recognition, I could just hide away. Although running away can't solve the problem, it can at least avoid it.

After consulting with Welt, it was decided that the Saintess Parade would be implemented more quickly.

Only by ending the Saintess Parade quickly can she and Theresa undergo their coronation ceremony.

"I need to go to Cocolia Orphanage first. If you need anything, just contact me."

At this time, the Assault Team had been transferred back to the Far East and were preparing to take over the Far East Branch. Laguna never expected that he would suddenly become the acting manager of a branch.

K422 and Tesla ultimately failed to shed the title of Theresa as a human imprint.

They felt that Theresa had already suffered enough, and to take away her title as the manager of the Far East Branch was like bullying her.

K422, as the younger sister, couldn't bear to see this person in their forties or fifties suddenly burst into tears.

Lewis's team was still with her this time.

Meanwhile, her little maid Liv was also part of the entourage.

K422 originally wanted Rita to accompany her, but Rita refused, saying she was focused on her studies. Judging from Rita's hard work, it seemed she wanted to become Valkyrie as soon as possible.

Once aboard the Snow Off-road Vehicle, the Valkyrie of Lewis's team kept a close eye on Siegfried.

Large sunglasses covered half of Siegfried's face, making it impossible for them to see what this arrogant-looking man looked like.

Captain Lewis' injury has not yet healed.

K422 naturally brought along the Black Abyss White Flower this time.

She had something she wanted to try on Captain Lewis, but she needed to ask Cocolia first about how to start.

At this moment, Cocolia, who was carrying out multiple espionage missions, sat at her desk, her gaze gradually turning cold.

At her feet lay Rosalia, motionless, while Liliya knelt on the floor in front of the desk, trembling.

Rosalia and Liliya were naturally the twin sisters K422 had met. Rosalia was a very lively little girl with pink hair, while Liliya was somewhat calm and expressionless, and always liked to bully and tease her older sister Rosalia.

But by then, her sister could no longer hear her complaints.

They had lived in this orphanage since they could remember, not knowing where they came from or where they were going. In this remote place, she and her sister depended on each other for survival, and every day was—very happy.

There are many children in the orphanage. They come from different places and have different personalities and temperaments, but here, everyone is each other's brother or sister.

Having only ever had Rosalia, she has now made many new friends.

They once thought that this kind of life would continue forever, and that they would always be together... But one day, Sophia suddenly disappeared.

Then... Isabella, Nina... also disappeared.

In the past, many women left the orphanage and never came back.

—They were either adopted or went to school.

Liliya naturally wanted to go to school with her older sister Rosalia, but Rosalia, who always scored 0 on her tests, clearly did not meet the requirements for admission.

Of course, they didn't envy their adopted siblings or those who could go to school.

Because the Cocolia Orphanage has very, very good 'mothers'.

'Mom' is the director of the orphanage. She is a very beautiful woman with a large bust. She treats the children very well, just like a real mother.

They not only teach them to read and write and play fun games, but also encourage them to eat healthily and exercise.

However, this kind of mother deceived them.

She will probably never forget this day, nor the secret that she and Rosalia accidentally discovered—that their mother had been hiding a lot of cookies.

Cocolia, the mother who told her children to eat fewer snacks, confiscated all the cookies that an older girl had brought, but then secretly ate them herself.

As a result, their mother found out. Although she gave them a stern lecture, she still forgave them and shared the cookies she had secretly kept with them.

Later, Liliya never saw Rosalia again—after eating so many cookies.

However, Rosalia ate too much and suddenly experienced severe stomach pain, so intense that she couldn't speak. Her mother immediately called an ambulance.

The orphanage was too far from the city, and the ambulance was too slow to arrive. Rosalia was fine now, but she was too full to move.

Instead, she accidentally broke her mother's vase and is now being punished by kneeling on the ground.

The above is Liliya's explanation.

"???"

Upon arriving at the orphanage, K422 saw Rosalia standing motionless and Cocolia with a subtle expression. Then, he heard Liliya explaining from her perspective and fell silent.

125. You actually have such an idea?

"Cocolia, you've worked so hard..."

As soon as she entered, the A-Lynn Sisters unleashed a barrage of punches at her, which really stunned K422.

Honestly, she didn't expect to be intimidated by a little girl who was only a few years old.

Even Siegfried behind her looked completely bewildered.

The narration was accompanied by heavy breathing, making her think that Cocolia's identity as a multi-faceted spy had been discovered by her adopted children.

They even genuinely believed that Cocolia was secretly using children from the orphanage for human experiments.

If it weren't for the fact that the laboratory discovered underground in the orphanage contained only theories, that Cocolia's secretly constructed underwater laboratory was still under construction, and that after K422, a reinvestigation revealed that the missing children from Cocolia Orphanage had indeed been adopted, she would almost have believed Liliya's lies.

Rosalia, with her pink hair, lay on the floor, unwilling to move, because she had eaten too much. Liliya was punished by being forced to kneel for accidentally breaking Cocolia's beloved vase. Meanwhile, Cocolia gaze turned cold at her desk, simply felt... sorry for her.

K422 couldn't help but rub his temples.

"No, it's not hard at all, Kiana."

Cocolia naturally loved her children very much.

She just didn't expect that Rosalia would eat all the cookies she gave her. Cocolia was worried that eating too many snacks would affect her dinner, so she confiscated all the cookies that K422 had brought.

Liliya breaking her beloved vase naturally broke her heart, but she was relieved that Liliya was unharmed.

"Good afternoon, Kiana -neechan~"

At this moment, Seele, with her beautiful short blue and black hair, came to Cocolia's room. Upon seeing K422 in the room, she greeted him happily.

Although the arrival of the other woman made things difficult for my mother at first, she later brought plenty of food and delicious cookies to the orphanage.

Even Xing, who has a bad temper, would think about when the other person would come again.

"Seele is so good, good afternoon to you too." K422 couldn't help but pat Seele's little head, who was only five or six years old.

Compared to the A-Lynn Sisters, who entered the room and bewildered themselves with a string of nonsense—no, it was mainly Liliya Arlene who was spouting nonsense— Rosalia Arlene was responsible for lying on the ground and pretending to be pitiful.

"Kiana, what brings you here today...?"

"Um, something came up."

"Understood... Seele, take Rosalia and Liliya to the restaurant first."

Cocolia immediately turned her head and spoke to Seele, who was rubbing her head against K422's palm.

"Okay, Mom."

With her little face flushed, Seele nodded and then called for the A-Lynn Sisters to follow. However, Rosalia, who was full, had no desire to eat dinner.

"I'm already full..."

"Seele, have Rosalia run ten or eight laps around the yard."

"Okay, Mom~"

"No, Mom!! Why am I the only one? Liliya ate cookies too."

As Rosalia screamed, Liliya turned and ran to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

"Then you run ten laps, and Liliya... what about Liliya?"

"Report to Mom, Liliya has run away."

"Seele, go and catch Liliya, then make them run in the yard," Cocolia ordered Seele, who was raising her hand in a military salute.

This is also a playful interaction between the mother and daughter.

Seele nodded happily and shouted, "... I guarantee I will complete the order."

Then, he took Rosalia, whose face was full of sadness, to find Liliya.

After Seele and A-Lynn Sisters left, K422 turned around as well.

"Mr. Siegfried, could you please keep watch outside?"

"Of course, I will absolutely not let anyone get close."

Siegfried patted his chest; the gazes of everyone along the way only solidified his belief that his attire was incredibly alluring to the little girl.

He stood smugly at the door, while K422, having closed the door, looked at Cocolia.

Her gaze was first drawn to the large, muscular object on Cocolia's chest, before moving to Cocolia's face.

"Ms. Cocolia, is there a secret room in this room?"

"N-nothing..."

"How's the soundproofing?"

"First, generally speaking." Cocolia was sweating profusely, wondering why K422 had asked that question.

K422 shook his head.

"Alright, let's talk about it closer."

K422 walked over to Cocolia and, taking advantage of her small size, squeezed onto a chair with Cocolia.

Fortunately, the chair is quite sturdy; otherwise, given K422's unusually heavy weight, it might have collapsed after she sat on it.

"I've come to you to confirm something."

"W-What is it?"

"... About the Honkai Antibody, by the way, these kids of yours should all be survivors of the Second Eruption War, right?" K422 suddenly changed the subject, bringing up the children.

Cocolia's body tensed up naturally, but she soon felt the oppressive aura emanating from K422 beside her.
