Kapitel 59: Chapter 59: Sirin? Competition for Affection?! (6k)
It was another clear morning, and Sirin had arrived early at Chase's house to play.
She skillfully knocked on the door, holding a breakfast in front of Chase's door.
The morning breeze carried a slight chill, but it wasn't cold in the summer. The wind brushed through her purple hair, and Sirin looked at the birds on the trees eating insects, then at the sun already rising. Finally, she looked at the bread in her hand, and a smile unconsciously formed on her lips.
Hmm, at this time, Brother must not have had breakfast yet. With such a cute little sister bringing him breakfast, he must be touched to tears. Haha~ (^?^*).
(TN: I didn't change the emoji... It's like ^_^ with the nose and sparkling thing on the hair.)
After waiting for a while, the door did indeed open. Facing her was a young and refined face with striking white hair. Sirin greeted him with a smile, "Brother, I brought you breakfast!"
Chase looked at the smiling Sirin in front of him, feeling a mix of happiness and nostalgia.
In the early simulations, Sirin was pure, innocent, and beautiful, like an angel descended to earth.
Chase smiled as he ruffled Sirin's hair, expressing his gratitude, "Thank you, Sirin, for going to so much trouble."
Sirin was about to fly off happily when she suddenly remembered something, quickly covering her head, "No more petting, or my hair will get messy."
"In that case, Sirin, come here, and I'll help you tidy up," Chase said.
"Okay." Sirin obediently approached, enjoying another round of head-patting from Chase.
After a while, Chase finally withdrew his hand, his face full of satisfaction. This is the little angel Sirin that I recommended!
"Well, it's all sorted out."
Sirin was stunned for a while before realizing that this wasn't hairdressing; it was just patting her head!
Realizing that she had been deceived, Sirin clenched her little pink fist, pretended to be angry, and pounded Chase's chest a few times. Proudly, she said, "One caramel pudding."
"No problem~" Chase laughed. The neighbor's little sister Sirin was finally satisfied, humming a song as she walked into the house. Midway, she noticed that Chase hadn't followed yet, just standing at the door, smiling at her. Suddenly feeling embarrassed, she scolded, "Come on!"
Chase indulgently smiled and closed the door, following Sirin into the house.
"Brother, let's have breakfast." Sirin was still a little unhappy, and Chase shook his head helplessly, walking into the kitchen and bringing out the pre-made pudding. Sirin's smile suddenly blossomed, eating happily with a satisfied expression.
"Brother, why aren't you eating?" Sirin paused, looking at Chase, and asked.
"I think you look cute eating pudding. I could eat three bowls of rice." Chase said.
"What..." Sirin turned her head, her face slightly red. Suddenly remembering something, she quickly said, "Brother, why do you always wear gloves on your left hand?"
"Asymmetry is beautiful. Sirin, you'll understand later," Chase replied casually.
...
The morning sun penetrated through the cracks in the leaves, shining on the earth, illuminating dewdrops like countless sparkling diamonds. The fragmented sunlight then passed through the window, jumping into the house, casting scattered dots.
Chase held a book, one hand holding a book, earnestly narrating the story to the girl beside him.
"The familiar scenery welcomed Teriri as usual."
"Inviting her to go to places she had never seen before, like inviting her to an endless world."
" '...What place will it be next?' Teriri whispered to herself."
"She didn't know the answer. Because she didn't know, it aroused curiosity."
"In the slowly passing wind, the witch continued her journey with a bit of expectation."
"Who is that magical girl?" Chase paused for a moment, his gaze moving from the book to Sirin.
As expected, Sirin proudly raised her waist, like a proud little rooster, lifting her chin. "That's right, it's me, Magical Girl Sirin!"
Chase smiled, "Yes, I believe Sirin can become a magical girl!"
"Hehe," Sirin giggled foolishly. "When Sirin becomes a magical girl, I will definitely protect Brother!"
"Very good, very spirited!" Chase praised. "Maintain this enthusiasm of yours. Today, Brother won't pretend anymore. In fact, Brother is a masked rider from another world!"
Never heard of it... Sirin looked at Chase, who was triumphantly boasting. She didn't say this out loud and instead made a "Wow" sound in cooperation.
"Then today, Brother will teach you the first step to becoming a magical girl!" Chase looked proud.
"Okay, okay!" Sirin was a little excited, saying happily.
"The first step to becoming a magical girl is this happiness spell—Ich☆liebe☆dich," Chase smiled. "When Sirin encounters insurmountable difficulties, say this magical spell, and it will bring you miracles!"
Sirin nodded thoughtfully, keeping this phrase in her heart.
Chase looked at the adorable Sirin, then turned to look at the sun outside.
At this moment, the sun finally broke through all the clouds and generously contributed its light and warmth to the entire world.
Isn't she just a magical girl? If Sirin wants to be one, Chase will let her!
Chase looked at the rising sun in the east, smiling gently.
He will definitely protect this dream, definitely.
...
This was Cecilia's first visit to Chase's new home, accompanied by Siegfried and Kiana.
She arrived at Chase's door, knocked, and stood in front of the door waiting.
The morning sunlight spilled on the stone path in the small courtyard. Flowers bloomed in brilliant colors under the sunlight—yellow flowers were elegant, white flowers were noble, and purple-red flowers were passionate and deep, vibrant and romantic.
Little Kiana was attracted by the flowers in the garden, walking on the lawn, looking east and west, her eyes full of joy. Siegfried followed behind Kiana, reminding her, "Kiana, be careful."
Cecilia's visit this time was not just to check on her little brother-in-law's recent situation but also to assist in treating his condition. As for Siegfried and Kiana, well, they purely missed Chase's cooking.
"Kiana will be careful." Cecilia walked ahead, answering.
"I mean, don't step on the flowers your brother planted." Siegfried had just finished speaking when Kiana, who was running, stopped and turned to look at him, her eyes clear as a lake, full of confusion and incomprehension.
The pupils as blue as a lake seemed to be saying—Are you really my dad?
Siegfried smiled awkwardly, ready to go forward to explain the terrifying consequences of Chase holding grudges. But as Kiana saw him approaching, she directly snorted, pouting, and went to find Cecilia Mom.
The weather today was very sunny, the sunlight warming the body, even the turtles in the Spratly River crawled out to bask in the sun. But Siegfried felt a bit cold, clearly worried that his daughter might step on flowers and bear a grudge, yet why did she dislike him...
The sparrows chirping in the branches seemed even more annoying. Siegfried picked up a stone from the ground and threw it, shooing them all away!
Siegfried's sadness didn't last too long. The door of Chase's house opened.
A purple figure rushed out, hugged Cecilia, and coquettishly said, "Mom, Sirin wants to play a bit longer. Can she?"
Cecilia: ???
Siegfried: ???
Kiana: ???
At this moment, Chase also walked over, seeing Sirin hugging Cecilia. He had a somewhat interested look on his face, as if he wanted to see how long Sirin could maintain this state.
Sirin's face rubbed against Cecilia's, then she looked at Chase. Realizing that something was amiss with his expression, Sirin's coquettish actions stopped, and she slowly raised her head. What entered her eyes was not the familiar face...
Like a fluffy cat whose fur stood on end, Sirin quickly ran back, hiding behind Chase, cautiously peering at the newcomer from behind him.
"Umm~" So embarrassing!
I'm so stupid, really. I only knew that my mother would catch me if I stayed at my brother's house for too long, but I didn't know that it wasn't necessarily my mother who knocked on the door...
I'm so stupid, really. How could I forget to look at the target of my coquettishness when I'm acting coquettishly...
I'm so dead~ I want to find a place to hide right now.
Now, Sirin only felt her face burning. If embarrassment could be described as a blush climbing up her cheeks, then Sirin's face must be fully engulfed in fiery red.
Sirin looked at the newcomers, three of them, all with white hair just like her brother.
Could they be Brother's family?
To think that she acted cute in front of her brother's family... A stronger sense of shame enveloped Sirin. She felt it difficult to breathe, or maybe she should immigrate to Mars immediately; this planet is no longer suitable for her.
Ugh... I want to run. Sirin stared at the gate, hoping to reach that place...
But then, she looked at the three suspicious white-haired figures at the entrance.
Ugh... the gate was blocked.
Poor little Sirin, socially dead but nowhere to escape, could only cling tightly to her brother's clothes, looking pitiful. Oh, oh, oh.
Chase, looking at Sirin's pitiful appearance, involuntarily raised the corners of his mouth. He wanted to laugh, but he held it in, afraid that Sirin would throw a tantrum if she heard.
He looked at Cecilia's family, smiling and greeting, "Big Brother, Sister-in-law, and Kiana, long time no see."
"Oh, didn't expect your yard to be quite nice." Siegfried said, giving Chase a thumbs up. "I'm satisfied."
"Your satisfaction doesn't matter. It's Mother who needs to be satisfied..." Chase sighed, a 15-year-old child living away from home, how could his parents not worry?
"Onii-chan~" Little Kiana ran over from beside Cecilia, asking Chase for a hug, and Chase picked her up, making "giggling" laughter.
A storm suddenly struck, stripping the cold branches unwilling to yield, causing the leaves outside the window to make a mournful sound. The originally clear sky dimmed a bit at this moment, the sun was covered by clouds, a sign of an impending storm.
Hearing the sound, Sirin's eyes instantly became sharp. The turbulent waves in her heart calmed instantly, and the blush on her face, brought about by embarrassment, disappeared due to an instinctive sense of crisis.
She raised her head, only to find a three or four-year-old white-haired girl in front of her. Sirin immediately put down her guard, turning her curious gaze toward Kiana.
Is this Brother's sister?
Now, she's also my sister. ヽ(^◇^*)/
"Chase, how have you been recently?" Cecilia looked at Chase and asked with a smile.
"It's been okay, not much of a problem." Chase subconsciously looked at his left hand covered by gloves, and he smiled lightly.
"Okay." Cecilia nodded, walked into the house, and found that Siegfried was already sitting on the sofa holding a game controller...
"Hey, little brother, I didn't expect you to have everything here. Let me see what games you have..." Siegfried happily browsed through Chase's game library, like an adventurer exploring treasures, carefully paying attention to each game.
"Oh, there's 'Kallens Fantasy' here. Let me see how many points you've scored, little brother," Siegfried operated while talking. "Hey, why are your scores so low?"
Thinking it was a cold breeze blowing in from the window, he turned around only to find his wife.
Siegfried's smile was a bit stiff. He handed over a controller, "Cecilia, want to play?"
Cecilia shook her head, then turned to look at the purple-haired girl next to Chase and asked, "Who is she?"
"Oh, the neighbor's little sister, came over to play." Chase replied, while patting Sirin's head. "See, isn't she cute?"
"Mm-hmm!" Cecilia's eyes sparkled with stars. What a cute girl!
"That's right, that's right." Chase also felt a bit proud. This is the little angel I recommended!
"Can I touch her?" Cecilia asked eagerly.
"Ahaha," Chase laughed awkwardly and looked at Sirin. He found her in a protective stance, guarding her head as if to shield herself, "This won't be of any use if I tell her. You'll have to get Sirin's consent."
"Sirin? What a cute name." Cecilia smiled and approached Sirin. However, Sirin's eyes were full of vigilance and embarrassment, so Cecilia had to give up on the idea of patting her head, retracting her hand disappointedly.
"Your mother was worried that you might not find friends after moving here. It seems she worried for nothing. Sirin is very cute; make sure not to bully her, okay?" Cecilia smiled.
The blushing Sirin, behind Chase, lowered her head. She felt that, in front of this big sister, the person seemed quite nice?
She cautiously stretched out her head, looking at the white-haired big sister in front of her. Just as their eyes met, Cecilia smiled at Sirin, who, like a startled little rabbit, left after saying a word.
"Brother, Mom might miss me. I'll go back first!"
Chase and Cecilia looked at each other, watching Sirin hurriedly leaving. They both chuckled.
"Sirin is really cute. I want to trick her into being my daughter~" Cecilia sighed.
"Right, right." Chase nodded in agreement.
Cecilia looked deeply at Chase, her eyes filled with a hint of a smile. She was about to say something when she found her dress being tugged down. It turned out that little Kiana had come to her side, opening her arms and pitifully asking for a hug.
Cecilia picked up Kiana, who was about to cry, and Kiana tearfully said, "Does Mommy not want Kiana anymore?"
"Huh?"
---------
By noon, the sky had darkened, as if it could rain at any moment.
Chase prepared ingredients and cooked several dishes that Kiana's family loved, showcasing his culinary skills once again.
Everyone enjoyed the meal, praising Chase for his delicious dishes.
After the meal, Cecilia finally took out her Divine Key, "Black Abyss White Flower."
"Take off your gloves," Cecilia said.
Chase complied, revealing dense purple patterns on his left hand, extending from the palm to the forearm. The cyberpunk-style patterns looked eerie and terrifying in this moment.
Cecilia rolled up Chase's sleeve until the purple patterns were no longer visible. The situation was unfavorable; the purple patterns had spread to the forearm joint.
Cecilia sighed with sadness, "It has worsened again..."
"Sis, you should look at the bright side. If I had stayed in the family, my entire left arm might have been corroded by now."
"True, although there's a risk of Honkai Eruption here, the concentration is generally lower than in the family. It's a blessing in disguise," Cecilia sighed, sometimes feeling that Chase didn't seem like a 15-year-old.
"Rather than a slow death, I prefer to take a gamble," were Chase's words when he left the family.
Chase understood his condition better than anyone, and his mature behavior often surpassed that of his peers. One reason his mother allowed him to live alone was his cooking skills. As for livelihood, the family never worried. Aside from the inheritance left by his deceased parents, his writing skills, showcased in "Teriri's Adventure," were enough to make a living by publishing articles in any newspaper.
However, it was tough for the children in the family. With Chase gone, the power struggle between the older siblings ensued, and chaos reigned.
Cecilia silently took out the "Black Abyss White Flower" and placed it near the area where Chase was affected. Carefully using the power of Honkai, she activated it.
The white flower emitted a soft light, covering Chase's entire arm. After a while, the light faded, and Chase withdrew his left hand, shaking it. "Still the same, no significant difference. Can't exert much force."
"The 'Black Abyss White Flower' can't heal your injuries; it can only suppress their spread. We already knew this," Cecilia said. "Your constitution is different from ordinary people; your resistance to Honkai is exceptionally low."
She sighed again, "I come once a month. Be cautious..."
"Don't get close to areas where Honkai energy might erupt. Getting near will accelerate the deterioration of your condition."
Finally, before leaving, Cecilia cautioned him.
Watching Cecilia and her group leave at the door, Chase returned to his room alone. Sitting back at his desk, he looked at the dark clouds outside the window and murmured, "Don't get close... huh?"
Unfortunately, he couldn't follow that advice.
The details of the events in Berlin, simulated for the first time, circulated in his mind. With the intelligence boost from "Envy of the heavens(Gold)," he had already devised a perfect solution.
This plan didn't need Otto's attention or cause suffering to Sirin; it could guide her to the most perfect future. And he, himself, would be the fuel to turn the wheel of fate.
His determination had long been set.
A lightning bolt streaked across the sky, illuminating Chase's face sitting at the desk.
Chase stood up from his chair, walked to the window.
He would take risks, stepping into the forbidden zone Cecilia mentioned.
For Sirin, he would put his life on the line, just to witness the moment when the trigger was pulled.
He reached out toward the distant thunderclouds.
"Boom!" Thunder followed as expected.
"Pattering." The rain finally arrived.
Chase smiled, walked back to the desk, sat down, picked up the pen, and began to write on the paper.
The sound of the pen scratching against the paper in the pouring rain seemed as insignificant as what he was doing now.
Chase slowly wrote.
[Void Sword Qi (Crossed out) Honkai Magic Experimental Approach]
Since the Void Sword Qi could gradually transform the human body into a vessel and channel for Honkai energy, the concept of magic, relying on chanting and spellcasting, was feasible.
Fortunately, with the intelligence boost from "Envy," he had the chance to improve the highly precise "Void Sword Qi."
"Void Sword Qi" could covertly transform the entire human body into a vessel and channel for Honkai energy, enhancing the average person's ability to accommodate and utilize Honkai energy while avoiding corresponding risks.
Just a slight modification...
Night, rainstorm, a young man with pen and paper, formed a nocturnal scene.
The "Envy (Gold)" talent played to its extreme, continuously providing Chase with new ideas and hypotheses, helping him realize his vision.
After a long time, the storm subsided, the moon emerged from the clouds. Chase stretched lazily, smiling at the moon.
He had no dreams, but he could protect others' dreams.
