Chapter 25: Life is not easy; the little angel sighs
Chapter 25: Life is Tough, Little Angel Sighs
About three days had passed.
[Entropy] Headquarters
At this point, Sirin's injuries had already healed. Whenever she had the chance, she would pester Uncle Welt, inquiring about her brother's whereabouts.
Welt, in turn, kept contacting the dual-agent Patricia, hoping to get some information from him, but with little success.
On the other hand, Siegfried complained during their contact that Theresa had been spending more and more time with Cecilia, chatting for extended periods. This left him alone to take care of the kids. Welt, being a single man, could only silently wish him the best.
Every time Sirin approached Welt, she did so with hopeful anticipation, only to return disappointed, feeling low. However, she didn't resort to being pushy or think that [Entropy] was deceiving her, deciding to charge out on her own to search for her brother.
Considering her normal state of intelligence, she knew that with Chase's whereabouts unknown, there was no point in searching. She was just acting like a headless fly.
Welt understood her feelings and, whenever he had free time, came to chat with Sirin, providing emotional support and preventing her from impulsively searching for Chase.
In these few days, Sirin felt that Welt had become more like an elder, almost like he was raising a daughter. Either he would bring her a new dress or some sweets, occasionally giving advice on her combat skills, providing reliable suggestions for her void abilities. Sirin benefited greatly during this period.
Then there was Tesla Aunt. Her personality matched her hair color—fiery and impatient. Sometimes she turned into a telegraph machine, spouting words that left Sirin bewildered.
When Tesla Aunt had nothing to do, she would drag Sirin around [Entropy], subtly probing for information about Welt.
For example, whether Welt was injured in the recent mission, how his mood was lately, or if there was anything specific he wanted to eat. Sirin found it strange. Couldn't Tesla Aunt ask these things herself? Why bother coming to her?
Despite the confusion, clever Sirin promised to secretly inquire about these matters from Welt, earning her praise from Tesla. There were hugs and face rubs, making Bella, who was nearby, both envious and jealous.
Damn, why isn't it me?!
Bella felt that Queen had recently shown some bias against her. Her attitude towards her was not as good as before, and she couldn't understand why.
Bella was puzzled and couldn't figure it out, no matter how much she thought about it.
Regarding the tasks assigned by Tesla Aunt, Sirin successfully completed them.
Once, during a special training session with Welt, Sirin went straight to the point.
"Uncle Welt, Aunt Tesla asked if you have any cravings lately?"
Welt: "???"
After that, for the next few days, Tesla Aunt avoided Sirin whenever they crossed paths.
In summary, in ancient Chinese translated terms:
After a while, Tesla appeared, saw Sirin, and tactfully avoided her.
Sirin was also helpless. Even though she had completed the task satisfactorily, Tesla, the employer, was avoiding her. Sirin couldn't understand it and was puzzled.
Tesla Aunt also had a good friend, Einstein. When she heard about this incident from Sirin, she almost laughed herself into a stupor in the laboratory.
With her deep blue short hair and a doll-like face, Aunt Einstein liked Sirin very much, especially listening to Sirin's stories about Tesla's embarrassing moments. Sometimes, she even asked for Sirin's assistance in some experiments. Sirin initially resisted, thinking it would involve needles, but later found out that she only needed to use her abilities, while Aunt Einstein collected data on the side.
Hmm... compared to [Schicksal], [Entropy]...
You guys are pretty good!
One day, Sirin was bored in her room, staring blankly at the sky outside, missing her brother, who had no news.
At this moment, Einstein walked in and said there was news about Chase, pulling her outside.
Naturally, Sirin was very happy, following Aunt Einstein to her laboratory.
Welt was also there, and Tesla was beside him. They arrived a bit earlier than the women but remained silent, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.
"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's get started," Einstein went straight to the point. "This is the video Patricia uploaded earlier today."
With that, Einstein manipulated the equipment, and a huge screen began to display images.
The video's perspective was shaky, surrounded by densely packed Valkyries, with the cameraperson squeezed in the middle.
On the stage was an elegant man wearing a purple high priest robe, the current Archbishop of [Schicksal], Otto Apocalypse. He was sitting on the Archbishop's throne, holding a boy by his side.
Sirin's eyes widened as she recognized the boy on the stage.
It was someone she knew, someone she had yearned for day and night, even in her dreams. Wasn't this her brother, whom she wanted to see again?
Brother, blink if you've been kidnapped!
Einstein patted Sirin's shoulder, signaling her to continue watching.
Sirin nodded obediently, despite the excitement in her heart, maintaining a calm exterior.
In the video, Otto had a smile on his face as he proudly announced something that shocked Valkyries worldwide, leaving [Entropy] bewildered.
"I, Otto Apocalypse, declare that I am adopting Chase as my adopted son, naming him Chase Apocalypse."
The boy beside him promptly dropped to his knees, clasping his hands in a bow, "Chase, drifting through half a lifetime, regretting only that I haven't encountered a noble master. Should you not forsake me, I am willing to pledge myself to you as my honorable father."
The video ended there.
In Einstein's laboratory, Welt and the others had strange expressions.
They felt a chill running through their bodies, an inexplicable coldness that made them involuntarily take a deep breath.
"Ugh..." Tesla couldn't help but comment, "Is this scene for real?"
Einstein's expression was complicated. "Probably?"
Welt, with a difficult and serious expression, said, "Otto really prepared a big surprise for us."
Sirin fell silent, feeling like she was turning to stone. "..."
What in the world is this?!
How did my brother suddenly become someone else's adopted son?!
He even called Otto his adoptive father, so does that mean...?
No, no, no!
Absolutely not!
Sirin looked at Welt with pleading eyes, and even he seemed somewhat complicated.
Despite experiencing so many ups and downs, Welt hadn't seen anything like what Otto did today.
"If nothing unexpected happens, your brother should be under someone's control." Welt adjusted his mindset and calmly analyzed the situation. "When we were attacked on the snowy plains, we encountered someone with this ability. She can even temporarily hypnotize a Herrscher."
"This is a bit tricky..."
"Tesla and I will do our best to research methods to overcome mental interference."
Sirin sighed.
Ah, it's really difficult to meet my brother~
