Kiana walked through Schicksal’s corridor, her heart beating faster.
Uneasy, yet filled with anticipation, she asked, “Um, Himeko-sensei, she…”
“Miss Himeko’s condition is not too serious, but she cannot move for the time being and needs rest.
She has not awakened yet.”
Rita answered with a smile.
“You need not be so wary of me.
You have no enemies here.
Also, please do not mind Lord Overseer.
He has been like this ever since I joined Schicksal.”
Beaten by Kallen.
Beaten by Theresa.
Beaten by Amber.
Later, even Durandal and Rita herself had hit him.
Because he deserved it.
He was always acting smug and annoying, and he was a bit of a pervert.
If no one stopped him properly, he would absolutely run wild without restraint.
“Overseer Otto’s body has long since been replaced with soulium.
Only when he is with Lady Kallen does he use his original body.
If Lady Kallen is not around, he doesn’t want to rest.
Aside from scientific research, there is also gaming.”
A soulium body did not require rest.
That was the main reason Otto used one.
The three arrived at Himeko’s ward.
The instant Kiana walked into the room, she stared at Himeko on the hospital bed in disbelief.
Tears slid silently from her eyes.
She covered her mouth to keep herself from crying out loud, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Yunyan and Rita took the initiative to close the door behind them, leaving the space to her.
“Himeko… sensei…”
The girl stepped forward.
She did not dare touch her, but she could not suppress the emotion stirring inside her.
She went up and held Himeko’s hand, feeling the pulse of life within her.
Thank goodness.
This was truly wonderful.
Himeko-sensei was really all right.
That was truly wonderful.
Tears kept falling.
Kiana wiped them with her hand, but no matter what she did, she could not stop them.
She still cried.
Her voice was very soft, her white teeth biting into her lower lip hard enough to draw blood.
Himeko-sensei was alive.
To Kiana, that was the best possible news.
There was no better news than this.
Kiana walked out of the ward.
Outside, only Yunyan was there.
Rita had gone to find a doctor to ask about the situation.
The moment Kiana saw him, she bowed deeply.
“Thank you.
Thank you.
If not for your help, I might never have seen Himeko-sensei again.”
“You don’t need to thank me.
If you want to thank someone, thank A’Quan.
She was lucky enough to find Himeko, and lucky enough to find your world.
Otherwise, Himeko might have spent the rest of her life over here.
Honkai energy isn’t as much of a threat here, and the Herrschers stand on humanity’s side.”
Yunyan took a tissue from his pocket.
“Here.
I just took it from the nurses’ station.”
“Thank you.”
Kiana wiped the tear stains from her face and sniffled.
“Can you tell me about this world?”
“I only just arrived, so I don’t know much.
But if you’re willing to listen…”
They sat down on the public bench outside the ward.
Kiana quietly listened as Yunyan described how different this world was.
From time to time, she let out small gasps of surprise.
When she learned that Cecilia had not died, she was even more shocked.
“In this world, I, the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, and Sirin are all sisters?”
“Yes.
Sirin was adopted.
The you on this side is the biological daughter of Siegfried and Cecilia.”
Envy appeared in her eyes.
Once upon a time, she too had hoped to meet her mother again.
Even if it was only a false image inside a training device, she had treasured every moment she spent with Cecilia.
Deep down, she had secretly sworn to become a Valkyrie as powerful as Cecilia.
After learning that Cecilia had been Schicksal’s strongest Valkyrie, she had wanted even more to defeat Durandal and become Schicksal’s strongest Valkyrie herself.
But after learning the truth of her birth, all those fantasies had shattered.
She was a clone.
Not the child of her father and mother.
Even her name had been taken from the real Kiana.
And the real Kiana had long since…
She was like a thief who had stolen Kiana’s life.
A thief.
A liar.
An enemy of humanity.
A pitiful clone.
“How nice.
The me here has a father, a mother, sisters, and a real life.”
She was so, so envious.
But she was different from that Kiana.
How could a clone like her, the Second Herrscher who had killed countless people, deserve such a life?
Kiana gave a miserable smile.
This place was truly wonderful.
“Does a disaster like me really have any reason to live?”
Perhaps if she died, everything would end.
If she died, the Herrscher of the Void would no longer occupy her body.
As long as she died, it would all be over.
“I want to go to the rooftop for some air.
Let me be alone for a while.”
“You’re not thinking of suicide, are you?”
Yunyan looked at Kiana’s expression.
With the meticulous observation of Six Eyes, he clearly detected that something was wrong.
That faint sense of death…
The current Kiana could be said to be at her most fragile.
Even if her personality remained strong, the self-destructive tendencies in her heart might inevitably make her think of suicide.
“If I end my life, I can drag the Herrscher of the Void down with me.
I was unnecessary to begin with anyway.”
A miserable smile hung on Kiana’s face. This story is hosted at g.com.
Right now, however, Yunyan had no intention of letting her indulge that thought.
“In Nagazora, you defeated the out-of-control Raiden Mei.
You led Bronya and the others out of Nagazora.
Back then, you were brave and tenacious.
But now, where has all your courage gone?”
“No, I haven’t forgotten.
Back then, I was full of courage and hope.
I hadn’t despaired of the world or of myself.
But now, where is my hope?
I could lose control at any time.
I want to end my life so I won’t drag more people down.
Are you going to condemn me for that?”
Her voice was hoarse and bitter.
She grabbed at her hair, her expression pained and struggling, like a trapped beast with nowhere left to go.
Before her eyes, there was only one road: death.
She wanted release.
Suddenly, Yunyan cupped her face with both hands, forcing her to look at him.
Kiana noticed Yunyan’s blue eyes.
They were very beautiful eyes.
He was also very good-looking.
Kiana felt that if she had not experienced all this, then being watched like this would probably make her heart beat faster.
But now, she had no such mood or thoughts.
Yunyan said seriously, “Don’t be foolish.
Put away that thought.
You should keep fighting until you defeat the Second Herrscher, until you defeat those dangerous thoughts.
If you rashly end your life, then Himeko’s sacrifice will have been wasted.”
Himeko-sensei…
Kiana held Yunyan’s hand and asked, “Then what should I do?
How do I keep fighting?”
“Fu Hua.”
“Class Monitor?”
“She is worthy of trust.
She is Shenzhou’s Immortal Red Kite, a Flame-Chaser from the Previous Era.
Her Edge of Taixuan can help you control yourself and suppress the Herrscher of the Void, allowing you to fight again.
Kiana, do you still remember what Himeko taught you Valkyries should fight for?”
Kiana’s answer was powerful, sonorous, and firm.
“To fight for all that is beautiful in the world!”
Thank you so much for reading until the end.
