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!"

In words often spoken by Bronie, what benefit is there for Bronie to deceive you?
If Bronie says Bronya will grow taller in the future, then she will definitely grow taller, there is no doubt about it.
If described with more aggressive vocabulary: Playing Azur Lane intensively.jpg
After indulging in some fun, Sirin found herself unable to defeat Black Seele, so she could only reluctantly accept this round of gambling. Then she continued to enjoy playing games.
After all, there is still a significant difference between experiencing memories and actually feeling them firsthand.
Originally, Sirin could only slowly understand it through Kiana's memories, and then cry, scream, and feel bitter in Kiana's core.
But this time, Black Seele somehow managed to pull herself out.
In short, the game is definitely not bitter. The resentment that had been accumulating suddenly decreased a lot!
Later, Sirin learned that Black Seele and White Seele were also dual personalities, and they also knew a woman with eight personalities.
That guy is the Vill-V Kiana knows.
Usually, there are only three active personalities, and one personality is called Extreme Evil!
Just listening to it, Sirin felt a very familiar feeling. According to Seele's explanation, it's is some not-so-good thoughts that are not in line with human development at the moment, all dumped into Extreme Evil, which is somewhat similar to Sirin.
Vill-V chose to keep it in her heart, while Bronie's choice was to take Sirin out for a walk.
When Sirin returned to Kiana's core, her mood was actually very complicated.
When she woke up from the core of the Herrscher, Sirin's heart was filled with hatred towards humans and endless anger.
When it came to the battle, she did not encounter the expected feeling of being enemies of the world, but Bronie's appearance who accompanied her to vent!
Then Bronie pointed out that her memories were problematic. Theoretically, she and the original Sirin were different people. Venting her so-called anger was meaningless. If she really wanted to feel good, it would be better to beat Otto's face to a pulp.
When things quieted down, Sirin recalled the memories in her mind again.
After calm thinking, Sirin felt that it was indeed the case.
Am I Sirin?
The anger is real, but Kiana's short-lived and happy memories are also real.
Black Seele also gave some reference, after all, Black Seele was also confused at first.
But soon Black Seele realized that if White Seele died, she would die too. If she played too much with Seele's body and got out of control, she would die too.
So it's better to get along well. After all, if you really want to control it, it will inevitably trigger a big battle, but why bother?
Destroying this and destroying that all day long, when everything is destroyed, it will be difficult to get something good to eat.
It's not like Nanook of The Destruction, who only thinks about destruction. If everything is destroyed in the end, what's the point?
If, if we can reconcile with each other, and live in harmony, and find a brand new body in the future, wouldn't it be much easier?
Are humans trustworthy?
Are the victims of the Second Eruption, who were almost sent to be experimented on, really trustworthy?
Sirin was constantly conflicted, but every time she thought carefully, she felt that her brain power was not enough.
Forget it, let's go back to the core and sleep, and see what methods Black Seele plans to use to pull herself out again next time.
Little did she know that Black Seele also had a slight dilemma...
What strange means she should use next time? Are the kids around Bronie all strange!?
After sending Sirin away, Black Seele also went back to rest in Seele's body.
Communicating with Sirin, and accidentally bursting the pufferfish, with everyone in the Orphanage had a high chance of dying, so staying by Sirin's side, to be honest, Black Seele's pressure on herself was quite high. She didn't dare to explode in anger in front of the pufferfish with her usual violent temper.
After all, the other party can also explode in anger. God knows what Bronie thinks all day long.
Is this considered self-cultivation of her mind?
It should be considered self-cultivation, right?
Kiana, on the other hand, after waking up, looked at the innocent-looking Seele, felt puzzled.
Looking at the empty plate on the table, feeling the subtle feeling of fullness in her stomach, and then seeing the game that was played halfway through.
The little tuna was suddenly full of big doubts.
"Um... Sister Seele, do you remember what happened before?"
Looking into Seele's innocent eyes, as if nothing had happened, everything seemed like her own illusion.
Seele just tilted her head and replied, "Seele doesn't know anything. We were originally playing games. Maybe you got tired? Sister Kiana, what time did you sleep last night?"
"Ten o'clock, no, no, that's not important. My sleep time must have been sufficient, and suddenly my snacks disappeared too. Could there be ghosts here?"
Initially, Kiana found this matter very strange, but seeing Seele looking even more scared than herself, she suddenly found it amusing.
What bad intentions could innocent little Seele have?
"Perhaps... I was just too tired?"
After that, such incidents occurred less frequently.
But it's not impossible for them to happen again.
Occasionally, after Kiana woke up, she would feel full in her stomach, resulting her unable to eat any snacks, and occasionally she would feel short-term memory loss, feeling like she had done something and yet nothing at all.
The progress of her games would also unknowingly advance, or strange new save files would appear.
More and more doubts arose, seemingly only after coming to Bronie's house.
In this unsettled life, after holding it in for a whole week, Kiana finally couldn't take it anymore and sought out Bronie.
"Bronie, you must save me! Do I have some terminal illness? Do I need Bronie's kiss to be cured?"
"Bronya believes that fairy tales are deceiving. The so-called kisses are just psychological, and more importantly, Bronya thinks this behavior is very unhygienic."
"What! Bronie is so pretty, even if she kisses, it must be fragrant!"
"What Bronya said naturally isn't about Bronie, but about you, Miss Grasshopper."
"You little brat, just because you're young doesn't mean I won't mess with you! Damn it, disturbing me while I'm picking up girls, it's like I killed one of your own parents. You're asking for divine retribution!"
"Hehe, Bronya doesn't believe in that. Knowledge can protect Bronya from being struck by lightning forever."
"Cough cough, okay, okay, Kiana, and Bronya, stop quarreling. Kiana, you really are carefree. It's been a week already before you told me about this, are you still afraid of troubling me?"
Bronie interrupted the argument between the two. She felt unsure why but Bronya just likes to argue with Kiana, and Kiana likes to argue back with Bronya.
Of course, the two of them still get along well, but Bronya often intervenes in Kiana's interactions with other children.
Even Nina recently started to imitate Kiana, doing some new and interesting things, like blowing up the kitchen.
It's only been a week.
In the future, Bronie can't even imagine what Kiana will do.
"It's not that, it's just that I see Bronie and the little one busy all day long, sorry for bothering you... And I also repeatedly confirmed whether I was really sick, but I doesn't feel wrong either."
Bronie pretended to ponder for a moment, then looked up and down at Kiana.
Her gaze made Kiana uncomfortable all over.
"According to your symptoms, it's actually related to multiple personalities. Many split personalities will have similar situations, such as your teacher Vill-V, who also has different personality memories that don't communicate with each other."
"Huh!? I thought it was Sister Vill-V's bad memory!"
Kiana was shocked, but when she heard Bronie say that Vill-V also had similar situations to her, she calmed down a bit.
"In essence, you and her are the same individual. As for treatment, you can merge with each other, or you can fight each other, of course, you can also coexist like Seele. If the other you wants to be more free, it's also possible to get another body."
Bronie could probably understand how unsettling it would be for someone to suddenly have another person in their mind.
But is Kiana the kind of person with a normal thought process?
"So are the desserts lately, all eaten by her?"
Hearing Kiana's question, Bronya facepalmed in exasperation.
"Shouldn't Kiana be more concerned that half of her life has been taken away?"
"But... Didn't Bronie say the other me is also me?"
"Now that you think about it that way, just get along well with the other you, starting with introductions, interests, dreams, hobbies, and so on."
"Huh? But Bronie, every time I'm not conscious, how do I get along with the other me?"
"But Kiana, haven't you heard of leaving messages?"
Bronya couldn't bear to watch anymore. Does Bronie really have to install an external brain for Kiana to live properly?
"Oh right! Then I'll communicate with the other me properly! I'm really looking forward to it. What kind of personality will the other me have, and why did she start coming out recently..."
"Maybe she'll be a child who's afraid of being alone, after all, being born quietly by yourself, but surrounded by familiar strangers."
"Um... Kiana will share friends and beautiful girls with her half!"
Well, no surprise there.
After Kiana left, Bronya couldn't hold back anymore.
"Sister Bronie, is this really okay?"
"What do you mean?"
"Lying to Kiana in front of Sirin, that guy has Kiana's memories, right? Aren't you afraid of angering Sirin?"
"She can't beat me, and I can still protect you guys. At most, the house blows up, but do you remember how I repaired the kitchen with my ability?"
"Okay, is this the power of knowledge, or just pure power?"
"Uh... Knowledge, yes, it's knowledge."
Bronya was somewhat skeptical, but decided to take it seriously.
"Whatever, let's just play games. Bronya is even more looking forward to what kind of game Bronie will make. When it really starts, Bronya wants to understand how complex making a game really is."
"Thinking of giving up?"
Bronie looked at Bronya's eyes, there was no intention of giving up in those eyes, but her words actually spurred Bronya's fighting spirit.
"No, Bronya wants to work harder!"
"Don't tire yourself out. When interests become work, they often greatly consume one's passion, turning hobbies into sources of pain, and at the same time affecting one's performance. Making games, for example, often requires the author to maintain enough enthusiasm."
"Okay, Bronya will remember that. So Bronie, work harder and finish making the game and the game console sooner."
"You really have the makings of a good capitalist. Are you already learning to exploit me?"
"But if the game console is made late, Bronya's electronics factory will lose money every day! Bronie wouldn't want to see Bronya go bankrupt, right? In the end, if Bronya's factory goes bankrupt, Bronie will have to find manufacturers herself."
This Russian salted duck really knows how to play ball!
"The game is already in progress, and so is the game console! Don't worry, good things take time!"
Every day, under Bronya's high-intensity urging, Bronie needs to take a good hit of Seele and Sin to recover.
...
Back in her room, Kiana looked around at her surroundings.
It was a bit monotonous, but not too big of a problem.
She brought a small cake from the kitchen, and the cherries on top clearly said, "This is Rosalia's cherry cake, do not touch!"
But for the other her, Kiana exchanged this cake for a pretty little dress with Rosalia.
Carefully placing the cake on the desk, Kiana then took a pen and started writing and drawing on paper.
"Hello! Other me, Bronie said you're a bit shy, so you always avoid me when you come out to play. But it's okay, this cake is for you. Let's be friends, okay? I love fragrant beautiful girls the most, and since we share the same body, you must be very cute and fragrant too. Let's work together and take all the children in the orphanage!"
Afterwards, Kiana felt that this message was a bit off, so she took off the chameleon hairpin from her head and drew a lifelike chameleon based on its pattern.
Really cute!
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Kiana covered herself with the blanket, holding onto her dream of defeating all opponents with her other self and collecting all the beautiful girls in the world, and closed her eyes.
Almost the moment Kiana closed her eyes, Sirin opened hers.
"Hmph, offering sacrifices to me, this cowardly Kiana. Is it so that you can survive from me?! But beautiful girls... Perhaps this is also a way to defeat Bronie, deceive her with foolish emotions, let her experience the deepest despair in her happiest moment! Hahaha, naive ants, be grateful to me!"
