Chapter 41: "Hello mama Cecilia"

"And here I am, entering into an unfamiliar room."

Enter illusion world of Fenghuang Down created by Sirin. K-423 looks at her room, familiar but yet so foreign, and she shrugs indifferently.

"Whatever, however my identity now is Kiana. I only need to change my hair color, and eye color to achieve the perfect disguise."

"As for the matter of height, is illusion still talking about logic? Let Sirin be confused herself."

K-423, who had the petite body of a 10 year old girl, ran towards her bed ferociously, and she jumped up with joy.

"Yahoo~!!! I can finally sleep on a soft bed! It's double happiness!"

K-423 smiled sweetly.

For a dozen days after she time travels to the 2000s. K-423 never relaxed her vigilance at all.

Apart from keeping an eye out for the sneak attacks of the Honkai beasts. The existence of the Will of Honkai who has very suspicious intentions always makes K-423's mind very anxious.

She had to go everywhere, be alert of everything, and think carefully about her next plan. All these things made her very tired.

She longed for the quiet and peaceful timeline of her world.

Now, because she entered the illusory world created by Sirin, and the time here is also constricted due to the power of Fenghuang Down's feather. K-423 can now relax her guard, and be a little more relaxed.

"Ah~ time to sleep..."

Yawned and rubbed her tired eyes. K-423 stares at the unfamiliar ceiling of the room, and she slowly closes her eyes.

She fell asleep.

The next day...

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

When the sun was shining, and entering her bedroom window. K-423's door was knocked on several times, and it finally opened wide.

"My baby doll, how long have you been sleeping? Get up, today is a special day!" Cecilia smiled, and sat up on the bed with light footsteps.

"... Who... Oh, Cecilia."

Opened her eyes for a few seconds, and sat on her bed lazily. K-423 yawned widely.

"I almost forgot that I'm Kiana right now." K-423 rubs her sleepy eyes.

Cecilia tilted her head: "What are you talking about my dear. Are you still sleepy? Then do you want to take a bath together with mama?"

"Hah?"

"We have to hurry Kiana. Have you forgotten that we are going to the shopping mall today? Come on~ we will prepare together!"

"W-Wait a second, this is too sudden!"

Found that Kiana became very fussy because she didn't want to take a shower. Cecilia, who was an experienced mother, showed off her skills, and she lifted little Kiana's body up high.

"Come on Kiana~ We're going to fly to the soap pond! Don't you like the yellow duck that mom bought yesterday?"

K-423's face turned bright red: "L-Let me go!!! I don't want to take a shower!! Besides, I'm not a kid anymore!"

"Yes yes, mama understand. Kiana has now grown to be very adult. After all, tomorrow is your birthday."

Smiling and nodding her head understandingly. Her body acted differently, and Cecilia immediately took little 'Kiana' to the bathroom.

"No!!!!"

K-423 screamed very loudly, like a stray cat who doesn't want to take a bath.

"Woaaaaaah!!!"

In the next room, Siegfried wakes up from sleep with a panicked look.

"Dream? Gees... It's that dream again. Several years have passed after the second honkai war, but it feels like yesterday."

Waking up from his bed, and looking out the window, the sun was bright. Siegfried greeted the new day with a smile.

"Ever since the second Herrscher was defeated, and the world returned to peace, Honkai suddenly just disappeared from this world."

"As a Schicksal soldier exterminating the honkai, of course I will lose my job. But that's okay. A peaceful world like this without honkai, it's better!"

"Even though I lost my job, it was all worth it!"

Siegfried until now had still not realized that he was trapped in the illusion created by the feather of Fenghuang Down.

This was an extremely perfect 'world' unto himself, to the extent that he couldn't tell whether this world was the real world, or a world made of many lies that were extremely illusory.

"Come downstairs, I'm very hungry."

Stretching the muscles of his body lazily. Siegfried went out of his room, and he walked towards the living room.

"Cecilia, let's have breakfast..." Siegfried looked at the notes on the dining table: "Oh, I guess you went out shopping again."

Take the sandwich bacon that on the table, and eat it. Siegfried took the notebook, and he read.

"{Dear Ziggy, Kiana and I are going to the mall... Don't forget about the special day tomorrow! I can't wait to see what kind of birthday present you will give her.}"

Siegfried smiled: "Wow, is it already this year? Our baby dolls are growing up really fast."

Finished his food, and washed the dirty dishes for a while. Siegfried started getting ready, and he went out of the house.

Today is a very special day for him.

This was the day his childhood dream would soon come true.

"Overseer Otto will be very proud of the game I made! I'll show you my masterpiece that I spent months creating!"

Siegfried smiled brightly under the warm sun.

Meanwhile, inside the mall...

"Kiana my princess, until when are you angry~?" Cecilia poked K-423's cheek with a sweet smile.

"Hum!"

Puffing her cheeks unsatisfied, and turning to avoid Cecilia's finger attack. K-423 who looked angry, and yet adorable, just ignored Cecilia's words.

"Uh..."

Cecilia was also speechless. She could only sigh lightly.

"Hah?"

Takes K-423's look, and notices that her eyes are kept on the ice cream shop next door. An idea occurred to Cecilia, and she clapped her hands excitedly.

"Want some cone ice cream?"

"...."

"Because Kiana's birthday is tomorrow, Kiana will be able to eat three different flavors of cone ice cream today!"

"...!?"

Seeing that 'Kiana' immediately grabbed her hand, and pulled herself to go there immediately. Cecilia, who understood body language, smiled even wider.

"Then shall we go there?"

Felt the tug on her left hand growing stronger. Cecilia stopped teasing Kiana, and she covered her mouth using her right hand to hide the smile on her face.

"Try calling mama~ Mama will probably buy you extra ice cream corn later~"

"Mama! Mama! Let's go there quickly! The ice cream will be finished soon!"

K-423 instantly threw away all the anger, and the morality she had, aside, without hesitation.

Her morality limit line is really very flexible, just like someone's.

"Really, mama's baby doll is so cute~!"

Cecilia smiled happily.

Meanwhile...

"Nyet! Nyet! Nyet! This toy doesn't work at all!"

Sirin screamed, and she bit her thumb in great annoyance.

"I want to create a world of nightmares, and make them all suffer! But, where is my nightmare!? This feather doesn't even listen to my orders!"

"It acting up, and instantly made them a happy family!"

"I can't figure out how it works!"

Staring at her monitoring screen in annoyance. Sirin squeezed Fenghuang Down's fur tightly, before she lowered her head slowly.

"...."

Sirin looked at the feathers of Fenghuang Down with a sad look.

"Happy family..."

She always thought...

What if mama never died?

What if the honkai never happened to me?

Will there be a happy family for me too?
