Chapter 16: "Kiana, what happen to you..."

"Stupid, stupid, stupid tuna! Did you think you could just walk in and out of my stigmata space!? Now that you're trapped there, feel it! Feel it!"

"Kiana, why are you mumbling alone there? Wait a minute, why are you crying?" Siegfried suddenly panicked.

In real life...

When Siegfried looked at "Kiana" who was wearing a ponytail, and holding Baba Homu in her arms. Without noticing the change in her eyes, Siegfried immediately knew who the person was crying in the corner of the house at this time.

"What's wrong, can you tell daddy? Look, daddy just ordered pizza. Want to eat together?" Siegfried smiled.

Turned around, and wiped away the tears pooling on her face. K-423 who had red eyes from irritation, walked towards the sofa slowly, and she sat there quietly.

"What happened?" Siegfried really was very curious.

This other "Kiana" personality is a relatively quiet personality. Even though he had been accepted by her, Siegfried somehow still felt an invisible distance between the two of them.

Kiana often tells him about the other personality's annoyance. For example waking her up in the middle of the night to sleep early, eating random food to the point that her stomach is upset, or hiding some of her toys in an unknown place.

Now, it's hard to imagine that such a carefree and nosy "Kiana" would be crying silently in a corner.

Siegfried really wondered what was going on here.

"Kiana, hit me." K-423 munches on a cheese-flavored pizza with hateful eyes.

"So?"

"I can't beat her." K-423 grew angrier.

This part made her cry and became very frustrated.

There is a big difference between experience, and a memory. Although K-423 knows that Kiana has been fighting the Honkai beast during her absence via synchronization. K-423 would not have expected their strengths to differ so markedly during a fight.

Their strength is the same, but their skills are very different. Succinctly explained, it was a one-sided blow.

She didn't even have the time to fight back at all.

Of course, the main reason she cried wasn't because of Kiana's words, who considered her a friend. Even though she felt deeply touched, that was not the reason she was crying at all.

"I hate her." K-423 puffed out her cheeks angrily.

"Ohh, I see." Siegfried nodded his head.

When someone says "I hate her", and has the opposite meaning. That is the most adorable thing according to Siegfried.

This daughter is really very cute~

"Pizza's best friends are a bottle of coke and a television to watch. How about it, would you be interested in seeing the Arahato ninja with me?"

Siegfried held a special anniversary edition of the special ninja Arahato CD cassette, in his hand with a very big smile.

"What's that?"

Siegfried laughed: "Haha, I'm glad you asked! Ninja Arahato is an animation created by Mr. Yang, and it has a Mecha fantasy theme! This is my single favorite animation! I'll tell you a secret, that robot ninja Arahato really exists! I have seen it with my own eyes!"

Introducing popular science to "Kiana." Siegfried puts the cassette CD into the tube TV, and a video immediately appears on the screen.

A black ninja robot standing in a pile of snow, with a giant katana sword at its waist. The red scarf wrapped around his neck and the futuristic lines typical of Mecha, made K-423's eyes unable to look away.

Within his eyes, a series of Mecha anime he had watched that were derived from the memory fragments of adults, flashed one after another.

"This..."

K-423 opened her cute eyes to sheets.

This look, this pose, the quality of the image, stabbed all her preferences so viciously.

"Very cool...."

"Hehe, I told you, no one can resist the charms of the Arahato ninja! Arahato is the best!" Siegfried became very excited, like a friend recommending his favorite anime to others.

Sit back on the sofa, and see "Kiana" whose head keeps glued to the TV screen, while eating pizza bit by bit like a hamster. Siegfried didn't bother her, and he calmly re-watched the recorded video together with his daughter.

Inside the old cabin... Even though it's a blizzard outside. Inside the house, there was a very heartwarming moment.

Sitting on the couch, watching the Arahato animation play. A father and daughter pair maintained their silence, but somehow it felt very harmonious.

"[Shout with me, ARAHATO!!!]"

"Arahat--!!"

K-423 suddenly bit her tongue very quickly.

Looked to the side, and saw that Siegfried was again smiling at her. K-423's face turned red, and she hid her embarrassed face into Baba Homu's back.

"No need to hold back, just scream! Your blood will flow freely, and it will be very satisfying!"

"No..."

K-423's ears have turned pink.

Who would have thought that she would fall into such a simple trap?

This is really very embarrassing. K-423 wants to find a hole to jump into now.

"I-I will go…"

"Hey wait a minute!"

Before Siegfried finished speaking. Kiana's eyes turned blue, and the white-haired girl looked around in confusion.

"Another me?"

Kiana was getting very dizzy from the sudden perspective transit.

"Ah, why am I holding a pizza? Besides, why is there only one slice left! Dad and the other me are so cheating! You guys are eating pizza secretly behind me!"

Kiana glared at Siegfried angrily.

"Ahaha... If that's the case, do you believe that this pizza is for tomorrow?" Siegfried laughed awkwardly.

"That's worse! You're trying to hide it from me!"

Kiana was still staring at Siegfried with hateful eyes.

Her other self was a liar who could always anger her in every way, and this old man in front of her was an unreliable father.

To think that she was beaten so badly by Siegfried when they were sparring a few days ago. Kiana became annoyed again.

"Why did you come back into my room!? Get out!" K-423 shouted in frustration.

"No way! The other me, you just ate pizza behind my back, and I'm mad! We have to fight one more time!"

K-423 retreats in fear.

"Kiana... I never taught you to solve problems with violence... Why did you become like this!?"

K-423 also doubts herself. Did she teach Kiana the wrong method?

Where has the innocent girl who wanted to fight for the whole world for the one she cares about go?

WHERE!!
