Chapter 107: Can You Call Dad One More Ti? (Shy)
***
Without a doubt, Kiana could certainly master the power of the Herrscher of the Void just like herself, and in the not-so-distant future, she could even master the authority of Finality.
But—
The price to pay for this was simply too heavy.
Even the person involved would probably not want to go through it all over again.
Jiang Qiao certainly wouldn’t fantasize about keeping Kiana in childhood forever, although it seed like it wasn’t impossible to do.
But children must grow up eventually. Even though he indeed had the ability to let that white-haired fluffball continue being “happy” like this forever, if he really did that, it would actually be irresponsible toward Kiana.
So what Jiang Qiao wanted to do was simply make this price co a bit later and be a bit smaller.
Since this was sothing he could do, why not do it?
“She can certainly do it, but in the process, she will inevitably need to pay the price of growing up.”
The girl’s gentle words were mixed with regretful emotions.
And at this mont, a dazzling fla ignited on his body, slowly burning across the white-haired girl’s entire body.
The scattered long hair transford into a neat single ponytail at this mont, and the white-haired girl now looked like a knight.
Siegfried could see that the 【Kiana】 who turned to look at him with a smile revealed determination and maturity in her eyes.
“Dad~”
Still the sa familiar gentle voice, but it brought a completely different feeling than before.
If the previous feeling belonged to “Kiana,” then now he was more like Kiana.
The tattered, fla-covered clothes continuously fluttered with the night breeze.
Looking at such a 【Kiana】, Siegfried instinctively covered his chest, feeling a sourness in his eyes.
In a trance, all the scenery returned to the beginning.
The white-haired girl still sat there, wearing i’s pajamas.
It was as if everything had been an illusion.
— And indeed it was. That fla was rely an illusion constructed by a portion of the Origin authority that Jiang Qiao carried when transforming, though the clothes were indeed real.
Although those clothes were the exclusive transformation belonging to Herrscher of Fla Kiana, for a Herrscher, there really wasn’t such a thing as exclusive or non-exclusive.
This ability to construct with Honkai Energy, depicting the imagined self in one’s heart, could achieve the sa effect as the Herrscher of Fla even if it was just the Herrscher of the Void.
If he wanted, Jiang Qiao could even have himself as 【Kiana】 wear Bronya’s cake dress right now, or even Elysia’s gorgeous attire as the Herrscher of Human.
But that would be too stimulating. Wearing Ducky’s cake dress in front of her and such, cough cough…
— Siegfried ultimately didn’t bring up such an excessive request. Besides not wanting to eat Kiana’s flying kick, it was also because he felt this kind of thing was unfair to Jiang Qiao.
Although 【Kiana】 could indeed suppress the Herrscher of the Void, this wasn’t a reason for him to feel at ease letting the other party bear the risks that originally belonged to his daughter.
After all, this was originally Kiana’s matter and shouldn’t be borne by soone else.
What if one day 【Kiana】 couldn’t suppress the Herrscher of the Void’s consciousness anymore? Wouldn’t that be a great sin?
So, despite feeling regretful… cough cough, Siegfried could only give up on such bold ideas.
If he really did that, maybe afterward, Cecilia would co after him with a lance!
“…I’ll leave Kiana in your care from now on.”
“You’re not planning to stay?”
Faced with the girl’s question, Siegfried smiled wryly:
“No, the child has already grown up and no longer needs her parents’ company.”
“Besides, my staying by Kiana’s side wouldn’t do her any good.”
As a traitor who defected from Schicksal, his existence would only draw Schicksal’s attention.
Regarding this, Jiang Qiao had to admit it was indeed the case.
That old bastard at Schicksal headquarters had always been wary of Siegfried’s power. Although according to his plan, Siegfried was undoubtedly a very good bond sacrifice candidate, because he was difficult to control, compared to using him, Otto’s view of Siegfried leaned more toward eliminating him.
After all, Siegfried would absolutely not allow his plan to try to use Kiana.
“Are you leaving now? Won’t you say goodbye to Kiana?”
Looking at the rising Siegfried, the white-haired girl couldn’t help but ask.
“If I wait longer, it’ll be hard to leave. I’ll trouble you to help say sothing to my daughter.”
“Oh right, before I leave… can you call dad one more ti?”
Siegfried suddenly stopped, turned around, and showed an expression that was sowhat embarrassed yet expressed great longing.
“Of course I can.”
“Have a safe journey, dad~”
The white-haired girl smiled at the white-haired man, tilting her head and showing an extrely healing smile.
That gentle, lively voice nearly made Siegfried stumble.
The old father, sowhat like he was drunk, staggered as he climbed over the wall and disappeared from the girl’s sight.
However, it seed like due to carelessness, she could hear — “Ouch!” such a cry of pain.
Probably had so intimate contact with the ground?
Imagining this, the sowhat amused 【Kiana】 covered the corner of her mouth, looking particularly brilliant under the moonlight.
And in her ears, a sowhat seductive gentle voice sounded:
“The Schicksal traitor, Siegfried — he actually appeared in Nagazora City.”
Slowly walking from behind to 【Kiana】 side, Rita in a maid outfit knelt down with a tray containing small pastries.
The girl didn’t mind, only chuckling:
“Isn’t that quite normal? After all, he’s 【my】 dad.”
She emphasized the word “my” more than the others.
Casually taking a glutinous rice ball from the tray and biting into it, chewing with puffed cheeks, the white-haired girl spoke sowhat unclearly with a playful tone:
“Are you going to report to that Overseer?”
“May I?”
“Do whatever you want.”
The girl was completely indifferent.
He had already completely mastered the power of the Herrscher of the Void. Although facing ntal-level thods like Fenghuang Down would be sowhat troubleso, he wasn’t that afraid of that man.
— Rita had of course already noticed Jiang Qiao’s abnormality.
Although she didn’t say it outright, whether it was 【Jiang Qiao】 or 【Kiana】, such obvious changes—it would be difficult for the other three people in this mansion not to notice the abnormality.
However, compared to Elysia, it was much simpler for Jiang Qiao to personally handle these three people.
Just like now—
“Well, forget it then.”
— You see, Rita has already completely beco my person.
