Chapter 104: But She Called Dad!
***
“So, are you going to see her? Dad?”
The gentle, playful voice of the young girl paired with that pretty face, the words echoing in his ears, struck this middle-aged man like lightning.
Instinctively, he clutched his heart, feeling like he was about to go into cardiac arrest.
Such simple words, why did they have such devastating power?
Although Kiana was also a very cute girl when she was little, and Siegfried loved her dearly, but… as she grew up, that child’s personality beca increasingly feisty — of course, even so, he still thought she was wonderful, after all, she was his daughter.
But the 【Kiana】 before him gave Siegfried a feeling as if he had returned to his second spring, as if he was seeing his own well-behaved eldest daughter — one was a spiked club, the other was a massage stick.
Even knowing that her true nature was fake… but she called Dad!
Kiana, Dad is sorry, Dad seems to have fallen a little in love with this version of 【Kiana】!
Can’t handle it, just can’t handle it!
As if seeing through his thoughts, the white-haired girl covered her mouth and laughed softly.
…So similar, too similar, almost 9.5 out of 10 points similar to Cecilia in her youth.
This subtle gesture and the expression it revealed nearly made Siegfried spit out a mouthful of blood.
If this continued, as a warrior of the Kaslana family, he might not die in the fight against Honkai, but at the hands of his own “daughter.”
Clutching his heart, Siegfried forced himself to remain calm and coughed twice:
“Cough, cough, take to see her.”
The reason he had to leave Kiana was his fear that the Herrscher of the Void inside Kiana’s body would awaken again because of him.
Now that this prerequisite didn’t need to be worried about, Siegfried as a father naturally wanted to see his daughter.
The girl shrugged and casually snapped her fingers.
Under the effect of Imaginary authority, they returned to where i was.
She was sitting on a roadside bench waiting for sothing.
“…Who is this?”
Seeing the white-haired middle-aged man beside the girl, i looked confused.
【Kiana】 smiled and raised her hand to introduce him:
“Siegfried Kaslana, Kiana’s father, and incidentally, he’s also an old acquaintance of your father.”
“…Father’s old acquaintance?”
Hearing this, i was obviously surprised and astonished.
“Uh, you wouldn’t happen to be Ryoma’s daughter, would you?”
“That would be my father.”
“I thought so, you look just like Ryoma.”
Siegfried laughed after examining her, then asked with great interest: “I haven’t been in much contact with that guy since the Second Eruption, how is your father doing?”
Actually, his relationship with Ryoma was just so-so, just a brief encounter, but after many years, being able to see an old acquaintance’s child beco friends with his own daughter, amid his sentintality, Siegfried was also curious about the old friend’s current situation.
“Father… is in prison.”
Hearing this answer, Siegfried was sowhat surprised. He asked in confusion:
“Huh? Soone as upright as Ryoma, in prison? I rember he was an executor of Anti-Entropy, wasn’t he?”
Arica was Anti-Entropy’s headquarters. Although Anti-Entropy didn’t completely control that country’s discourse, it still held significant weight.
As an executor of Anti-Entropy, even one from the Far East region, logically speaking, he shouldn’t have been able to be sent to prison.
“It was caused by internal strife within Anti-Entropy. I can tell you the specific situation on the way. Also… you should have contact information for those two from Anti-Entropy’s moderate faction, right? I’ll need to trouble you to notify them to get i’s father out of there.”
“Internal strife, huh… Alright.”
After hearing it was caused by internal strife, Siegfried imdiately had nothing to say. He sighed and nodded.
He wasn’t very clear about Anti-Entropy’s internal situation. After all, after the Second Eruption, he had actively refused Anti-Entropy’s invitation for his daughter’s sake. Although there was a lot of cooperation afterward, with Siegfried’s personality, he naturally wouldn’t look into Anti-Entropy’s current situation, and the research duo, adhering to the principle of not airing dirty laundry, wouldn’t tell him either.
But since it was 【Kiana】 request, such a simple favor, Siegfried as an old father was very willing to agree to it.
— And Jiang Qiao also had certain needs for Anti-Entropy.
Although he had spent this incredibly peaceful day, his heart had never relaxed, but had been constantly adding bricks and tiles to the path of saving the world.
His next target was the satellite hovering above the firmant.
【The 4th Divine Key】
The 4th Divine Key, created from the Previous Era’s 4th Herrscher core, possessed the ability to repair the world destroyed by Honkai, and could also stir up storms and influence climate.
Of course, Jiang Qiao wasn’t interested in the 4th Divine Key’s performance as a weapon.
The reason he wanted this thing was simply to use it to repair Nagazora City, which had been destroyed by the Previous Era’s Honkai eruption.
Additionally, facing the Fourth Eruption that would occur in the future, Jiang Qiao also needed to use the 4th Herrscher core within it to act as a detonator like the Seven Thunders of Retribution.
However, the 4th Divine Key was divided into two parts.
One part was the satellite in the sky, and the other part was the core controller on the ground.
The forr was still manageable, already possessing a Herrscher body capable of surviving in space, he just needed to take so ti to retrieve it.
But the latter, the ground-based core controller, had fallen into Anti-Entropy’s hands during the incident caused by Murata Hiko’s father, Murata Ryusuke, after the Second Eruption ended.
He needed to get that thing.
Lost in thought, the three returned to the Raiden Residence.
Out of conservative consideration, Siegfried chose to let 【Kiana】 go check the situation first, then he would go in afterward.
After all, as a father who had abandoned his daughter, even with legitimate reasons, having done such a thing and then appearing before her again, he was quite guilty.
【Kiana】 naturally had no objections to this.
However—
The mont she saw i return, Kiana, who had been in the living room with a bunch of delicious things, imdiately beca excited.
“i, i! Look, I saved you lots of delicious food!!!”
Like an excited puppy, the costud white-haired fluffball rushed over holding a bag, her face beaming with smiles, while her heart was filled with imnse confidence.
I brought back so many delicious things for i, she can enjoy good food as soon as she gets ho, i will definitely be very happy, right?
Oh right, I can also eat with i~
Jiang Qiao… that guy should just stay far away and not interfere with my alone ti with i!!!
However, considering it was still her own body, with the thought of not mistreating her own body, Kiana planned to let Jiang Qiao take a portion and eat alone in another room.
Hehe, this young lady is truly too benevolent!
“Uh…”
i took the bag and nodded, then looked at the white-haired girl beside her and actively invited:
“Thank you. Then Jiang Qiao, let’s go back to the room and eat together?”
— At this mont, the beaming white-haired fluffball turned to ash.
