Bab 96: Chapter 96: That Year, Sirin's Heart Hadn't Accumulated Much Resentment
There was an additional child in the orphanage.
At first, everyone was very curious. But curiosity aside, most of the children couldn't withstand Kiana's enthusiastic onslaught.
How should they put it? Kiana's enthusiasm was indeed enthusiastic, but she seemed a bit clumsier than Rosalia in her usual behavior, and she might accidentally cause trouble.
This was difficult for everyone to accept. Kiana was clumsy in her movements, but she had no problem in combat.
Her peculiar gunplay combined with melee and ranged attacks seemed a bit impressive.
But more importantly, everyone knew about Kiana's identity as the Herrscher, right? Bronie didn't publicize this matter, but Seele knew, Bronya knew, and even Sin knew.
Just the three powerhouses of the orphanage knew about this, and their subtle attitudes toward Kiana indirectly affected the other children in the orphanage.
"It seems you're quite uneasy because you can't find any news about your father, right?"
"Yes..."
The so-called previous enthusiasm was just a disguise for Kiana's inner anxiety.
Being able to see the shy expressions of the beautiful girls could temporarily make Kiana forget Siegfried's disappearance.
Black Seele noticed this and came to Kiana's side. "When everyone first arrived at the orphanage, they were all very uneasy. Even Rosalia hid in her room all day cuddling with Lily, and even Bronya did the same. None of us have parents because of the Honkai's existence."
"Eh? You guys know about the Honkai?" Kiana was a little surprised.
"Everyone here is a victim of the Honkai to some extent, so there's some resentment towards it. Everyone wishes to eradicate the Honkai completely. The former director, Cocolia, adopted us, but because she attempted human experiments on us, she was sent to prison by Bronie, and Bronie naturally took over the orphanage."
"I thought... Bronie didn't know about it..."
So Bronie knew about the Honkai all along and kept it secret... But human experiments and such sounded really terrible.
"Of course she knew. It's just that no one here will talk about the Honkai constantly, but Bronie taught us how to survive under the great calamity of the Honkai!"
"Let's not think about that for now. Even if a Honkai Eruption occurs, as a member of the Kaslana Family, I will definitely not stand idly by. I will protect all of you!"
"Let's talk about that later. Do you want to play games? How many games made by Bronie have you played?"
Black Seele stepped forward and, at Bronie's request, tried to lure Sirin out to play games. Kiana was slightly distracted for a moment, but then she nodded and took the game.
"I've played most of Bronie's games~"
"As expected. But it's normal since Bronie's games are indeed very well-made. So, how about this one? 'Homu Combat Dragon!' and 'Homu Combat!'"
"Let's play 'Homu Combat'! Let me show you how good I am!"
'Homu Combat Dragon' sounds like a cooperative game. How could it compare to a fighting game?
Only confrontational games could truly embody the fun of gaming!
So Kiana didn't hesitate and directly chose this game. By the way, Kiana hadn't really played this type of game before.
"Interesting. I didn't expect you to choose a fighting game. I'm going to beat you to the ground!"
When Black Seele played games, she was ruthless. The power of the Stigmata, according to HI3 game's rules, was to enhance basic attributes.
So Black Seele's combat power was actually very strong, so strong that even Bronya noticed, and her usual training became even more rigorous.
As for facing Kiana...
Ten minutes later.
"Let's go again! I don't believe I can't beat you!"
Half an hour later.
"Damn you, Seele! I don't believe I can't win a single round!"
And forty minutes later.
"You ant, let me grant you despair!"
"You finally came out? Sirin?"
Sister Hua's teaching method actually worked!
"Did that guy send you to find me? Why didn't she dare to appear directly in front of me?"
With almost no strength left in her body, Sirin still believed she could easily handle the girl in front of her.
It's just that Bronie had said before that all the children here were victims of the Second Honkai Eruption.
Looking at the harmless little eyes, Sirin easily thought of her past self.
Almost got taken for human experimentation. Does this sound familiar?
"Bronie's been busy lately, working on a new game with that guy and even talking about designing a whole new game console. She originally thought you wouldn't come out so easily, but it seems she misjudged this time."
"Hmph, do ants dare to measure up to me, a messenger of the gods? Then let's continue the fight! The weak me no longer has the will to fight, so it's up to me to save face!"
Then Sirin got a little anxious as she saw her character fly to the opposite side of the screen, resulting of a loss.
"You!"
"Let's play something else, like a cooperative game. Fighting games have a high barrier to entry; how could you possibly beat me when I play these games regularly?"
Seele had put a lot of effort into fighting games back in the day to catch up to Bronya's level, so she wouldn't easily be defeated by Kiana, who had zero experience.
"Hmph, then I'll spare you for now, but... why aren't you afraid of me? That guy must have told you about my identity, right?"
"Yeah... Bronie said you're not Sirin, so I believed her! And since you didn't attack me when we met, it also proves that what Bronie said was right."
"Ridiculous, you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
Sirin got a little angry, thinking the person with a similar background would be someone she could train to help her destroy the world. But it turns out they're so bold!
Black Seele just smiled.
"So you want to become an even bigger bastard than Otto?"
"Otto? Who's that?" Sirin was puzzled for a moment.
"Is your memory not very complete? Only resentment? No wonder Bronie said this was troublesome. Otto is the Schicksal's Archbishop, the initiator of the Babylon Tower Laboratory, and he approved the human experimentation."
Poor kid, no wonder Bronie thinks Kiana is a fool.
"Because Otto, that guy, is human, so all humans should die? What strange logic is this? Otto's human experiments have killed so many people, aren't you also trying to become like him? Since you're the same as Otto now, why don't you kill yourself first?"
"You! Believe me, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"Pfft, you can't beat Bronie, and you can't beat me in the game either. There are plenty of interesting things in this world waiting for me to enjoy. I can't just watch you destroy the world casually, and you seem to enjoy the cherry cake that Rosalia sent, don't you?"
Seele often complains to herself that her favorite cakes suddenly disappear because they share the same body, and thus the same stomach.
If Seele eats, Black Seele often can't, but every time Seele eats something delicious, she only eats half and then pushes Black Seele out to eat it.
So Black Seele is now the number one Seele fan.
When Black Seele saw Sirin eat all the snacks, she suddenly felt a little sorry for Kiana.
After waking up, that guy would probably look at her empty plate, then feel her body full, and cry in grievance, right?
Thinking of this, Black Seele couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at! I'm just gathering strength. Just a game, I won't easily lose to you like my useless other half! Come on! Let's have another Homu battle!"
"Fine! Then there must be stakes in the next match, or I won't compete with you."
"Speak!"
Sirin seemed to have made a significant decision. If the request was too unreasonable, Sirin felt she didn't need to comply; she could just explode right in the face of the opposition!
If she couldn't even defeat some people who wanted to stop her from destroy the world, then what was the point of destroying it?
"I want you to promise that when I ask you to play with me in the future, you won't refuse! Also, I'm Black Seele, not that naive White Seele, for clarification. Although our situations are somewhat similar, born from Seele's fear of human experimentation, we're definitely not the same!"
"Hmph, is that all? Just fear. Indeed, you should be afraid, but I'm different. I'll tear apart anyone who plots against me! But I agree to your wager; if you lose to me, you can't meddle in what I want to do!"
Actually, if it were someone else, Black Seele would have already started a fight with them in a fit of anger. But thinking carefully, this person surely harbored more resentment than herself, so they were already quite adorable.
Thinking of this, Black Seele couldn't help but laugh. "Come on! Let me show you what it means to be unbeatable!"
Even with her body enhanced by Honkai, Sirin was still battered by the Seele in front of her.
There's probably a stronger effect from the Stigmata, and Sirin is still growing! Sirin may be swollen, but when it comes down to it, she definitely can't beat Seele.
That's for sure.
Watching the two start to compete again, Bronya also breathed a sigh of relief.
It's really true what Bronie said, Seele has become two!
And that idiot Kiana, even if she turned into that cynical look, still seems like an idiot.
With her poor gaming skills, she can even mess up platform jumping. Bronie feels like she could easily beat her opponent.
But danger is indeed real. Just now, even the Honkai Energy Density Detector was creaking, indicating a very dangerous level of Honkai energy density.
If it weren't for Seele's Stigmata, she would probably be seriously injured inside the room.
Conversely, within the entire orphanage, probably only Seele and Bronie could accompany Sirin.
If one wants Sirin to let go of her hatred, it's probably very difficult. A long and arduous road ahead.
But if Sirin is really such an idiot, it might not be difficult to handle after all. A little persuasion might do the trick.
Thinking of this, Bronya also left the two at the door of their room and found Bronie.
"Sister Bronie, Sirin has woken up."
"Wow, Seele is really amazing."
"It's Black Seele."
"That's good. Although Black Seele has a bit of a temper, she's fundamentally a good child. You should get along well with her!"
"Hmm, Bronie will of course get along with her."
Hearing Bronie's promise, Bronia felt somewhat emotional.
Seele is the kind of child who can easily make people let their guard down.
She's good-looking, has a pleasant voice, and most importantly, has a rabbit-like temperament.
Even if she becomes Black Seele, she still looks like a black rabbit.
Perhaps inheriting Eden and Elysia's aesthetic experience from Kiana, plus Sirin hasn't been locked in the core inside Kiana for years, she came out directly like this.
What Kiana could experience, Black Seele brings directly, so Sirin's resentment and jealousy aren't as heavy.
There's probably a reason why Sirin is difficult to talk to in the future.
It wasn't without reason that Sirin, who had just woken up, was beaten back by an Immortal Phoenix.
She had access to memories exactly like Kiana's, knowing how much beauty Kiana had enjoyed. It's easy to say during the wandering period, but what she experienced in Nagazora during the Third Honkai Eruption, and those good days at the St. Freya Academy, Sirin looked at them with envy.
But there's nothing that can be done about it!
But now it's different, now Bronie has indicated that she will take action and bring Miss Sirin out for some fresh air in advance, which isn't a bad thing.
"But Bronya has a question."
Suddenly Bronya's demeanor changed, as if she wanted to ask something important.
"What's the matter?"
Bronia also became serious.
"Brinya found out that Bronie is also growing taller recently, and that Kiana said Bronya is just a little kid, so Bronya wants to know the secret of Bronie's growth."
"Well... being in a good mood every day, reading more books, watching fewer snacks, and sleeping more. Does that count? Bronie used to have a relatively difficult life, staying up late was often the case, being hungry was common, so if the foundation wasn't good from childhood, growth might be a bit slower."
"I see..." Bronya looked a little disappointed, and Bronie couldn't stand it.
"It's okay, small is good in its own way, and big has its own beauty. Let everything happen naturally. People will grow, right? If you really can't grow, then it's either longevity or illness. In that case, I'll have the Herracher of Reason take care of it."
"Huh? Can you do that?"
"If I say I can do it, then I can do it!"
