Chapter 27: Welt: Danger!

Chapter 27: Walter: Danger!

After a series of comedic incidents where only Theresa got injured, Cecilia prepared for everyone to stay and have a meal together. However, as soon as Otto heard that Siegfried wanted to experiment with a new dish, he excused himself, claiming urgent matters, leaving Chase and Kiana to bond.

The Siegfried family is currently in high spirits. Theresa is sulking, Siegfried is holding his head, nursing the bump caused by Judah's attack, Cecilia is using Black Abyss White Flower to treat Siegfried's injuries, and Kiana is playing with Chase.

Chase is feeling a bit bewildered. He grew up as an orphan, without parents, in lonely hardship, raised in an orphanage. Fortunately, he encountered a benevolent master who adopted him as his son. Chase was planning to embark on a grand journey, thinking of killing a few Honkai Beasts to liven things up, but unexpectedly, he ended up playing house with a little girl.

He, Chase, cannot accept this.

"Hey, Kiana, don't pull my hair, it hurts." Chase winced, forced to interrupt his thoughts.

Is this the Kaslana that the foster father mentioned? A little girl with such terrifying strength!

"Chase, play with me." Kiana tugged at Chase's hand, who sighed in resignation.

Forget it, forget it, let's go along with the foster father's plan.

"Alright, alright." Chase sighed.

Theresa and Siegfried turned to look at him simultaneously, their gazes unabashedly staring at him, making him a bit uncomfortable.

"Um, Uncle Siegfried, is there something wrong?" Chase looked at Theresa and asked.

As for why he didn't address Theresa, it's because he really didn't know how to address her.

He couldn't call her Theresa's daughter, right? That would be too bizarre.

"It's nothing, nothing." Siegfried and Theresa quickly shook their heads, signaling Chase to play and not worry about them.

The more Chase looked at them, the more suspicious he felt, but he didn't know what was suspicious about them, so he had to let it go. He joined Kiana in playing the game of Valkyrie battling Honkai Beasts.

Of course, he is the Honkai Beast...

"Black Abyss White Flower, join me in saving the world!" Kiana shouted, poking Chase, who was still lost in thought.

Chase naturally couldn't sit idly by. He grabbed a pillow for all-around defense. Kiana's feeble attacks couldn't penetrate Chase's armor, and occasionally, there were even rebounding attacks, making Kiana more and more anxious.

"Chase, you're so annoying!" Kiana poked and poked.

"Hehehe." Chase looked smug, as stable as a rock.

Weak, too weak!

Siegfried and Theresa looked at each other again, both seeing the complex emotions in each other's hearts, sighing together.

Enemies from the past are now playing with their daughter (niece). Who wouldn't be confused?

And this matter is still quite complicated.

Otto had no intention of hiding anything. He brought Chase, who had clearly undergone some changes, to them openly and honestly.

How should this be put... it's really hard to say.

Smart people know not to ask about Chase's situation, lest the Bishop cause trouble for them.

"Is there something you're hiding from me?" Cecilia put down Black Abyss White Flower and walked over.

Although it was an angry strike from Theresa, it wasn't too heavy. With Siegfried's constitution, he would recover after a while. Using Black Abyss White Flower to heal was just because Siegfried felt more comfortable. Kiana, on the other hand, was playing with Chase.

"Ah." Theresa and Siegfried looked at each other again, sighing.

Cecilia: ???

The two pulled Cecilia into another room, carefully locking the door, and began to talk.

There's nothing wrong with telling Cecilia about this. The three of them might be able to figure something out.

With the adults leaving the room, Chase began to carry out the task assigned by his foster father.

Collect the DNA of Kiana Kaslana.

Taking advantage of the time playing with Kiana, he carefully collected the strands of hair that Kiana dropped on the ground.

Then he continued playing the game of "Valkyrie battling Honkai Beasts" with Kiana.

Before long, Siegfried and the others appeared again, and Chase wasn't surprised.

But why was Cecilia also looking at him with that kind of gaze?

That gaze, as if a chief doctor is looking at a terminally ill patient in the ward, full of pity and sorrow.

Unable to understand, completely unable to understand.

"Looking up at the sky~" Chase sighed, unable to help but look up at the ceiling.

[You're awake, Otto talked to you...]

What is this? Where did these subtitles come from?

Chase blinked, but found that the subtitles were still there.

Chase: ???

What did Otto talk to me about? Where's the continuation?

[You can't see yourself; what you see is only your shadow.]

Chase: ???

"Ah ah ah, Black Abyss White Flower, charge!" Kiana shouted, knocking down Chase, who was still in a daze.

"Oh my god!" Chase was startled, and he involuntarily blurted out a national phrase.

He fell to the ground, with some abrasions on his hands.

Cecilia couldn't care less about the two children playing, hurried over, and helped him up.

This is the son of the Bishop, the brother of the Second Herrscher!

Theresa stood aside, feeling complex. She still didn't know how to face this super-extended younger generation.

She suddenly missed the time when the two were enemies. If they had to fight, at least they didn't have to think about these strange problems.

"Mister Chase, are you okay?" Cecilia asked with concern.

Originally, she was full of curiosity about this Bishop's adopted son who suddenly appeared. But now, after hearing Theresa and Siegfried's descriptions, that curiosity had long disappeared, leaving only sympathy and pity.

Although she had met them as enemies before, and even fought against them, now it's like they are strangers...

As if their memories had been altered?

This situation can only be handled by her old friend...

"It's okay, it's okay." Chase shook his head, feeling a bit distracted.

[You can't see yourself; what you see is only your shadow.]

What does that mean?

He had the urge to immediately ask Otto, but as soon as he had this thought, he felt a sense of unease in his heart. A bad premonition was continuously transmitting within him, as if warning him of the incorrectness of this idea.

Absolutely, he cannot tell Otto! This is the information his heart is transmitting to him.

What on earth... is this?

Still contemplating, he suddenly felt his body being lifted, and then a faint fragrance wafted into his nose.

Cecilia lifted him up and walked to Kiana, patting the little girl's head.

"Kiana, be nice to Chase, okay..."

"Um, Kiana knows." Kiana nodded obediently. "Chase, I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Chase was put down by Cecilia, shaking his head to indicate that it's fine.

"Then, can Chase ge tell me a story?" Kiana's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Chase felt a strange sense of familiarity looking at the illustration of the Honkai King on the cover but couldn't recall where he had seen it before.

After thinking for a while with no results, he stopped thinking about it. Taking the storybook handed over by Kiana, he began to tell the story in a leisurely manner.

Siegfried, watching this heartwarming scene, couldn't help but take a photo and sent it to Welt.
