Kiana whose movements had stopped then seemed to lower her head until she hid her current expression.
"Kouro... Don't you remember me?... Don't you remember Mei-senpai?.... Don't you remember Bronya-chan? Don't you remember everything?!" Kiana's voice raised she looked at Kouro with her eyes reddened.
"I'am lying. "
"Ha?" Kiana blinked a few times, she didn't seem to expect that Kouro was lying.
"Well... Seeing your gloomy face earlier, I wanted to make a joke, so I pretended to have Amnesia... What do you think?" Kouro said as he scratched his head and smiled.
"He... Hehehehe. " Kiana laughed in a creepy tone.
Hearing her horrible laugh, he looked at her with a slightly scared expression, "Kiana... san, you're not mad, are you?"
Kiana smiled gently, but it sent chills down Kouro's spine.
*BAM! *
In the hospital, there was the sound of a very loud punch followed by the sound of discordant screams.
__
"I'm sowrry... "
With his face battered beyond recognition, Kouro apologized to Kiana.
Kiana folded her arms and looked at him with a frown.
Kouro scratched his neck, he seemed to think for a moment before asking, "By the way... How long have I been unconscious?"
Kiana didn't answer but just held up two fingers.
"I was unconscious for two days?"
She shook her head.
"Two weeks?"
Kiana shook her head again and replied, "You've been unconscious for 2 months, Kouro. "
"Two months?! "
Kouro didn't feel hungry at all or even thirsty, he looked at his hands that didn't look thin at all and then touched his face, he could still feel his skin was still smooth and supple.
He then looked at Kiana suspiciously, "You're not lying to me are you, Kiana?"
"Of course, I'm not like someone pretending to lose their memory. "
Kouro smiled in embarrassment at her words.
"Then Kouro, I'll go tell the others first. Oh and here's a mirror. " Kiana handed him a small mirror before heading out.
Kouro held the mirror in confusion but didn't think much of it.
Seeing Kiana leave, Kouro's expression calmed down, he then raised his head, his eyes looking unfocused.
Kouro felt a strange memory inside his mind, it was from a person who had the same name as him, but he couldn't clearly remember the memory because it was fragmented.
'Is this... That man's memory?'
Kouro thought of that man who had the same name as him, no, maybe it was him who had the same name as that man.
He also remembered that man's words, that he was waiting for him on that day... What does that day mean?
Who was that man exactly?
Did Fu Hua see that his appearance was the same as that man's so she thought that he was the reincarnation of that man?
Thinking of this, Kouro had a vague guess as to the man's identity, but... If this guess was correct...
Kouro quickly shook his head, as long as this matter has not been confirmed, don't make any strange guesses just yet.
He then thought of that little white-haired boy, Kouro could be said to know him very well.
That child is the owner of this body, the original Hanagami Kouro...
Kouro did not expect that he would meet the real Kouro... Moreover, from his words he seemed to know something related to that man.
At first, Kouro thought that he was reincarnated into this world because he met ROB, but after thinking about all the things that happened at this time, Kouro began to doubt this.
(ROB : Random Omnipotence Being)
Will of Honkai, the god who controls the world of Honkai Impact, she seemed to know who he really was, but did not kill him, instead Kouro could vaguely feel friendship from her.
Thinking of the system's words, thinking of the events that happened to him, he vaguely felt a great conspiracy connected to him even before he reincarnated.
Kouro who had the memories of two different people began to feel confused.
"Who am I really... "
He turned his head to stare at the window, looking up at the bright blue sky, Kouro narrowed his eyes letting his purple eyes shine.
"No matter what... At least for now... I am me..."
After that he looked back at the mirror, he wondered why Kiana had given him this.
He lifted the mirror and looked at his appearance.
His usual handsome face with violet eyes and shoulder-length white hair, his current appearance was like a combination of that man and that child.
Kouro widened his eyes at his current appearance.
"This... Is it the effect of the Gem of Serenity?"
Looking at his white hair, it reminded Kouro of certain anime characters he had watched in his previous life.
He didn't really care about the hair color as long as it didn't make him bald, he just wasn't used to long hair, so he would probably cut it later.
Kouro was then seen thinking about something before raising his hand with a serious expression, suddenly a black mist appeared from his hand.
Looking at the mist, he then muttered with a surprised expression, "I didn't expect... I really became a Herrscher... "
Wait, if he really is a Herrscher, he should not be in this hospital but in Schicksal's laboratory room.
Did Theresa do something?
Thinking of this, Kouro then tried to call the system interface.
"System."
"System? "
"System!"
Seeing that the system interface did not appear, Kouro's expression instantly changed.
Fortunately after a while the system interface appeared before his eyes.

Seeing his system interface finally appear, Kouro let out a sigh of relief, he almost wanted to cry.
He had thought that, his system had been exchanged with Herrscher's power, fortunately it's not.
After all, if he was told to exchange his system's power with Herrscher's power, then he definitely wouldn't do it, he didn't want another personality controlling his body.
Kouro saw no new function other than the same authority as Ayame's stigmata.
Was this the reason why he had the power of Herrscher of death?
He also discovered that the ability [Unknown] had a new effect.
[Unknown lv Max]
All diseases, poisons, and negative status effects are healed, and sleeping will explosively increase regeneration ability.
Permanent Effect : Longevity.
Permanent Effect 'Will to Rehabilitate': Any dismembered body parts are restored.
Permanent effect 'Conversion' : allows the user to have another Herrscher's power by touching Herrscher's core.
[Chance of gaining another Herrscher's power, 1%]
???
Seeing the new effect of [Unknown], Kouro had a surprised expression, he really didn't expect this new effect to be directly related to Herrscher.
Although the probability of getting another Herrscher's power was only 1%, this power was already very strong.
But even so, this power has a glaring drawback, which is that every Herrscher power is very wasteful of energy...
By the way this does not apply to Herrscher itself, because their energy can be said to be almost unlimited because they core are connected to imaginary space.
Compared to Kouro who is an ordinary human, he cannot use this power as freely as Herrscher.
But at least Kouro finally has another powerful trump card, he can create a black mist that can accelerate cell aging, or even reconstruct something out of thin air (if he has enough SP).
Thinking of this power that allows him to create things without being affected by the laws of cause and effect, Kouro was somehow reminded of the power of [Gamer] from a certain comic...
Well it was probably just a coincidence...

Half an hour later, Kiana came back with Mei, Ayame, Bronya, Kallen, Theresa, Himeko and Fu Hua.
Mei brought warm porridge for him and even fed it to him, Kouro could only eat it with a resigned expression as Mei forced him to.
He also chatted with them, more specifically with Fu Hua and Theresa, he wanted to know if they had realized that he had Herrscher's power.
"By the way, Fu Hua how about that mission? Has the mission failed?"
Fu Hua shook her head, "Aside from a few obstacles, our mission was successful. "
Hearing her words, Kouro's eyes narrowed for a moment, he remembered the mission's real goal was to bring back the Gem of Serenity and Dr. Kageito, alive.
For Dr. Kageito's situation he didn't know, but for the Gem of Serenity... If the mission was successful it meant that the gem's ability was still functioning.
Theresa who was drinking bitter melon juice then said to him, "Oh, right! Kouro, a few days ago, Overseer Schicksal wanted to invite you to join his organization."
Kouro raised his eyebrows, did Otto know his true power?
Seeing Kouro's expression, Theresa quickly said, "You don't have to decide now, Kouro. "
She then offered him bitter melon juice before it was quickly politely declined by Kouro.
'Schicksal... huh?'
Kouro had actually intended to join the organization, but he did not expect it to be this soon.
Well... No matter what this is was a good opportunity.
...
After that they talked again for a few hours before they all went home to let Kouro rest.
"Bye, Kouro. "
"I'll visit you again tomorrow. "
Fu Hua who wanted to return suddenly stopped, as if remembering something, she then took out a black box and gave it to Kouro.
Kouro took the box, he then raised his head and asked, "What is this box?"
Fu Hua seemed to think for a moment before answering, "That box... Comes from someone very important to you, Kouro..."
After saying that, Fu Hua then left.
'Someone very important to me?'
Kouro stared at the black box intently, he could only think of a few people, he didn't think too much about it and finally opened the box.
"..."
Looking at the object inside the box, Kouro calmly closed the box again and placed it on the side table with trembling hands.
He then walked away from the box while thinking frantically.
'Damn it! What important person? The person who gave this box must want to curse me!'
The object inside the box was the shard of gem the Herrscher of the End.
