93 Chapter 93: "Just a greeting"
"[As long as there's Mei~ my strength can be comparable to a thousand troops!]"
"[Ahaha... Isn't that too much?]"
"[From the start, you were just a vessel to contain me. I only took what was rightfully mine.]"
"[Kiana, everything would have changed once you wake up. The world will no longer be a pretty place. Life as you know it will be replaced by something else...]"
"[But... don't ever, ever give up!!!]"
"[Himeko-sensei...sorry...]"
"[Kiana, let's go back home. Return to St. Freya, with everyone...]"
"[Mei... I can't...]"
"[Leave the Herrscher to me... this my mission.]"
"[Enough, why is it always like this. Trading sacrifices for so-called victories. It's unacceptable.]"
"[Give monitor, back to me!!!]"
....
Within the endless dream, chaotic whispering sounds kept resounding one after another in her ears.
She felt like she had been having a nightmare. Live a life full of tragedy, and understand how heavy the meaning of a responsibility is.
These memories kept appearing one after another in her mind. But it also disappeared very quickly without leaving any traces.
Just like when she had a bad dream when she was 12 years old.
In the end, within this endless dream, darkness came, and enveloped all of her five senses.
A bottomless darkness, which made the entire surroundings extremely silent.
Desolate, and very quiet.
An unfamiliar memory suddenly appeared in her mind.
"[We can't change the past. But, I believe that with everyone's help, we can make this story more perfect.]"
Raising her right hand high into the sky. Kiana could see the earth they lived in, appearing behind the side of her hand.
"[But... If only... If only with the power of the Cocoon of Finality...]"
"[If only I could go back in time...]"
"[But if I could... What's the price?]"
Darkness came once again.
"...."
"...."
"...."
"...."
"{Pathetic.}"
Within the boundless darkness, a light finally appeared.
A purple light, a light that filled the entire dimension with its color, and revealed a gigantic orb the size of a planet, trapped between the walls of reality.
"Who? Where is this?"
Kiana was very confused.
She could somehow know that this huge purple planet in front of her wasn't an object. But just only a cocoon.
The cocoon should be very chaotic, not having its own thoughts. But somehow, Kiana knew that at this time something was born inside there.
Something, who was currently asleep, and waiting for the right time to wake up.
Something very familiar to her.
"{If you could go back in time, what would you do?}"
"{Change tragedy?}"
"{But before you did all these things, did you know any of the 4 truths of the universe?}"
"{I will tell you.}"
The cocoon finally moved, and the big eye-like ball looked at Kiana from a short distance.
Intimidation, and the most primal fear, filled Kiana's entire head at this moment.
"{This world...}"
"{Just a SHOW STAGE!!!}"
With a very big shock. The dream world started collapsing, and it started erasing everything that was in there.
dream world...
Whispers that coming from the future, for the past...
Kiana...
And also...
Cocoon of Finality.
"{We will meet again.}"
"{I hope you can enjoy your happy time before it all ends.}"
"{Ich liebe Dich~}"

"Kyaa!!!"
Screamed in shock inside her own room. Kiana, who was sweating coldly, finally woke up from her long nightmare.
She breathed in frantically, looked around her, and finally noticed that she was currently back in her own room.
She slowly started to calm down.
"What a strange dream... Why can't I remember anything...?"
When a person is dreaming, the brain usually doesn't bother to remember it. Because it really isn't worth remembering at all.
Kiana is experiencing the same thing right now.
She somehow felt that this dream was very important to her. But no matter how much she tried to recall them, these fragments of memories started to fade in her mind very quickly.
Finally, after a few minutes, Kiana completely forgot what she had just seen and heard from her dream earlier.
Just leaving...
Fear, and a very deep sense of loss.
"No! No! No! Why are you so easy to forget Kiana! Remember!!!"
Hit her head in frustration, and realized that the memories that left could never come back. Kiana clenched her fists tightly, and she took another deep breath.
"Sister Thea... I'm so scared..."
Looking for someone who can her a sense of security. Kiana, who looked around her bed, realized that something had disappeared.
"Sister Thea?"
Kiana asked confusedly.
Last night, they had decided to sleep together. When she woke up, she should still be able to see her sister innocent face when she was fast asleep.
Now, since there was no one else in this room apart from her, where had her big sister gone?
"This is weird, isn't it Monday? Why is the house so quiet... Right! Why didn't anyone wake me up!"
Ran out of her room in a hurry, and went to the living room. Kiana discovered that her entire house was currently completely empty.
Her mother, who always cooked in the kitchen and prepared breakfast for all of them, is now gone...
Aurora, who always watches tv animation in the morning together with Siegfried, who reads the newspaper on the sofa, is also gone...
Her sister Thea, who always made a mess at home, and always couldn't stay still, was not to be seen either.
The whole house became very quiet.
Kiana somehow felt very scared.
"Today is still Monday, isn't it? The clock also shows that it's still 8 in the morning. I can't see wrong."
"Then where did they all go?"
Searched the surroundings for the figures of her family members. Kiana explored various areas of the house, and she also started opening their bedroom doors one by one.
"Sister Sirin! sister Sirin! Please open the door!"
Knocking on the door of Sirin's room which was tightly closed. The sound of footsteps rang out, and with a click, the door that was always locked, finally opened.
"What is it...?" Sirin rubbed her sleepy eyes languidly.
Seeing that Sirin was fine. Kiana breathed a sigh of relief.
The anxiety and fear that had enveloped her heart, finally completely vanished.
"Sister Sirin, where has everyone gone? I can't find them anywhere!"
"Only that...?" Sirin yawned widely: "They all went to the airport this morning..."
"Eh? Why!? Why are they all going to the airport?"
".... Have you forgotten that Thea and Aurora are going with Bianka and Rita today to Schicksal headquarters?"
"Eehhhh!?! Now?! Why didn't you all wake me up!!"
Sirin: "...."
Should she say at this point that the reason why they all left early in the morning secretly was because they didn't want to wake up Kiana, who was still soundly asleep at that time?
However, last night Kiana was the person most unwilling to part with Thea and Aurora.
What if when they arrived at the airport and were about to leave, she immediately whined she wanted to go too?
Everyone will be very troubled.
"Never mind, just forget it. They've all been gone since earlier. Following them to the airport won't have time." Sirin directly extinguished Kiana's hopes mercilessly.
Kiana lowered her head, and she clenched her fists tightly.
"But... I haven't even said goodbye..."
Sirin: "...."
Silent, looking at Kiana who became very sad, and tried to hold back her tears. Sirin let out a very long sigh, and she could finally only scratch her hair in trouble.
"Okay... I will help you. Who made you become my sister."
Using the power of Herrscher of Void's stigmata that Thea just gave her last night. Sirin tore through space, and she created a portal wide enough for them to pass through.
"Let's go, don't be sad anymore."
"Sister Sirin, I love you!!!"
"Yes, yes, I know. Come inside quickly, lest we be late."
"Hm!"

At the airport...
Waving her hand to Cecilia and Siegfried who had taken them to the airport, and slowly climbed the stairs to get into the Hyperion ship. Thea suddenly heard Aurora complaining.
"Why are we getting into this scrap metal, isn't it enough to teleport there?"
"Aurora, watch your words. Appreciate the efforts of mama and dad who have brought us here. Let them be happy."
"Huh... It's not like we're going to be separated forever. Won't we meet again in your stigmata room?"
"I told you my cute little sister. Let them be happy."
Looking at each other's eyes sharply, because they felt that there was nothing wrong with their respective opinions. Both Thea and Aurora entered the Hiperion ship, like a mortal enemy.
"Big sister, wait a minute!!!"
"Hm, Kiana?"
Exit the portal with Sirin. Kiana found her sister's figure at the entrance of the Hyperion ship, and she clenched her fists tightly.
She took a deep breath...
"I will definitely become an A-rank valkyrie, and overtake you all! JUST WAIT FOR ME!!!"
Hear Kiana's screams. Everyone aboard the Hyperion has a different reaction.
Thea raised her hand high, and gave Kiana a thumbs up.
Bianka smiled.
Aurora rolled her eyes.
And Rita covered her mouth with a small smile.
"Then we will wait for you!!!"
Waved they hand and entered the Hyperion ship which was about to depart. Kiana, who saw them all leave, also clenched her fists tightly with determination.
She would become an A-rank valkyrie, and stand together with them once again!
Just wait!
