Chapter 9: "My name is Kiana Kaslana!!!"

"Dad?"

Hearing the girl in front of him call him father. An expression full of confusion, and sadness appeared on Siegfried's face.

He thought back to his dead daughter.

The girl also sensed that something was wrong. Her father had only been staring at her silently the whole time.

Is he mad?

"I'm sorry... I just wanted to protect you... I don't want to see you get hurt again..." The girl handed over the Judgment of Shamash in her hands with a guilty face.

Look at the little girl in front of him. Tears, fell from old Siegfried's face.

Ever since the honkai detector went on, he already knew that this little girl had secretly taken him Judgment of Shamash.

He also overheard this girl's conversation with her other self.

"(I am very strong! Dad said Kaslana's job is to protect the weak. This time I will protect him! I will show him that I am the real Kaslana!)"

This made Siegfried completely sober.

Even though the girl before him wasn't her daughter, even though she was just a clone, Kaslana's blood, was still flowing freely within her body.

Siegfried could see Cecilia's figure behind this girl.

"{Siegfried dear, I know that you are making a difficult decision.}"

"{Not every question has a perfect answer. However, I always know, that you will make the right answer.}"

"{Because I know, you are a good person. That part will never change you.}"

Cecilia's illusion embraced Siegfried gently from behind.

"{If that choice makes you pain, then take my hand, and let's bear it together.}"

Siegfried clenched his fists tightly.

His eyes, which were full of confusion, finally cleared up again.

"Thank you... Cecilia."

Wiping away the tears that were on his face. Siegfried lowered his head, and he hugged his daughter tightly.

"Your birthday is only a few months away right? Let's get ready, I apologize for missing your birthday before."

"I am so proud of you... Kiana Kaslana. You are the real Kaslana."

On that day, the girl had three important things in her life.

Identity as a true Kaslana.

The love of her parents.

And also... A name.

Everything was like a dream for her.

"[Herrscher of Void, you really are so dishonest.]" K-423 glanced at the honkai energy that entered Kiana's body with cold eyes.

____

Several days had passed, and the thing that was supposed to come, had finally come.

Like Murphy's law that no paranoid person can denied. K-423, and Kiana have the same feelings but have different problems too.

K-423 is anxious about a grim plot to come in the future. As for Kiana, she is worried about her overly enthusiastic father.

"Kiana, daddy cooked you corn soup today!"

"Ewww..." Kiana swallowed her saliva with difficulty.

From her disgusted tone, one could clearly see how terrible Siegfried's cooking he made for her was.

From that day on, after giving her a name, Siegfried's behavior towards her changed drastically like a new person.

The person who was originally very reluctant to stay at home, now doesn't go anywhere, and he is always busy doing housework.

Kiana knows that her father has tried his best to make good food for her. But seeing this super thick corn soup in front of her, made her small intestine revolt.

"Another me, please!"

"[No! I don't want to! Mind your own business, I'm very busy!]"

K-423 went offline very quickly.

Just kidding. Although Kaslana's dishes won't kill you, they will give you a taste completely beyond human understanding in return.

The burnt toast was still better, it was at least edible if forced. But for this super thick corn soup in front of her, imagining the thick soup still slowly descending through her throat, made her small stomach rebel for some reason.

"Another me!!!"

Ignoring Kiana's suffering screams. K-423 falls into her stigmata room, and she begins to focus on her own problems.

After long contemplation, K-423 decided to change the plot of the storyline.

She had no other choice.

Doubt will only lead to disaster, and nothing will come of it.

And...

From the very beginning, it was her presence alone that changed the storyline so much. She wouldn't pretend to be innocent, because she knew that it was really her fault.

So, instead of just tweaking it a bit, and then continuing to fear the possibilities in the future, why don't we change the plot more brutally?

Create the future we want.

"First of all, we must solve the crisis problem that is at hand first. The herrscher of Void's consciousness is still hiding in the herrscher's core, and is unwilling to come out. So the negotiation method was rejected, and turned to the second plan. Strengthen Kiana's body using special stigmata to make her safer."

According to the plot, when Kiana was 12 years old, the herrscher core managed to accumulate enough honkai energy, and made a certain pufferfish clone swell up in great pomp.

Siegfried lost his left hand, and Ragna Lothbrok, Bianka's teacher, also died here.

Predict the plot in the future. K-423 increasingly wants to change this bloody plot.

"Fenghuang Down Feather was successfully found and it took some time to sever ties with the herrscher of Void. The honkai energy secretly absorbed by it has also been taken over to reclaim Fenghuang Down feather by force. Heh, all your paths have been cut off, I want to see how you can revive herrscher of Void."

K-423 smiled arrogantly.

Feathers from Fenghuang Down are very important to the storyline in the game. As the eighth divine key weapon from the previous era that could affect consciousness. Herrscher of Void always uses this feather to disturb Kiana's mental state until it breaks.

Now, all the uncontrollable factors have been taken care of. K-423 wants to see how this puffer fish clone will swell in the future.

"I will look forward to it."
