Bab 127: Chapter 127: Siegfried's Promise
Sorry for no weekend updates, I wasn't online last weekend.

To be honest, Bronie was quite worried after Otto found out the location of her orphanage and would deliberately kidnap the children to threaten her.
However later on, Bronie also realized that if Otto really dared to make a move, Bronya and Sin would intervene. After the matter with Bianka was settled, Bronie could almost equip them with some exclusive weapons.
Just as Bronie was pondering how to deal with Bianka, Welt contacted Bronie again.
"I heard that you've been getting close to the Valkyries of Schicksal recently. Although we at AE don't care too much about who our partners associate with, we still need to reassess the danger you pose to AE."
Because of Bronie's close relationship with Otto, Welt was feeling a bit anxious to be honest.
After all, even on the commercial street of the St. Freya Academy, a switch experience store suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
Is that reasonable?
Of course, it gave people a very unreasonable feeling, especially since the information network of AE recently showed that the activities of the Guardian of Shenzou Fu Hua were becoming more frequent again.
First, she went to Egypt, then to somewhere unknown, and then straight to Siberia after visiting Schicksal Headquarters!
This forced Welt to step up once again and ask Bronie what was going on.
After all, in the eyes of AE, Fu Hua is associated with Schicksal and is like a nuclear weapon.
"You evaluate it yourselves. Fu Hua has actually been the Guardian of Shenzou for thousands of years. What's wrong with me being friends with the Immortal?"
This reply directly silenced Welt.
"Well, the research on light dust has made some progress. AE has discovered the ether particles you mentioned, but unfortunately, we can only constrain them with magnetic energy at the moment, unable to capture too many ether particles, nor can we rewrite reality like you can."
Pretty impressive, at least Otto hasn't managed to constrain the ether particles yet. And once they reach this stage, the next step is to condense the ether particles.
Who knows, maybe one day they'll suddenly develop the technology of the Garden of Recollection and create specialized Light Cones?
To be honest, that thing feels quite similar to the Stigmata, but even more powerful.
"This is really good news. So, did you contact me just to say this? Although there is indeed some cooperation between Schicksal and me, I have no reason to disclose any information about AE to Schicksal. Strictly speaking, it should be Otto of Schicksal who is asking for my help, which is why there is contact."
Just now, Bianka just came out of the Sea of Quanta, and Otto allowed Bianka to come to Bronie's side?
Isn't it just to use a little beauty to trap Bronie?
Perhaps it's because of Elysia's peculiar personality that Otto judged that Elysia might have a profound influence on Bronie.
By establishing sufficient bonds between Bronie and the Valkyrie of Schicksal, to some extent, Bronie could be 'Honey' trapped, and in the future, Bronie could also pave the way for Schicksal.
Otto's plan is indeed a sound one, filled with sugar coated bullets aimed at Bronie, but Bronie has always liked to eat sugar-coated bullets and throw the lead back.
"Otto is asking for your help?"
Where did Welt not get confused after hearing Bronie's words?
Under Otto's command, Schicksal controls countless resources. What in the world could Otto not obtain?
"It's for scientific research. Tesla and Einstein inside AE can't possibly devote all their energy to research, so I had no choice but to go to Otto. He has resources if he needs them, and energy if he needs it. The power structure of Schicksal Headquarters is not chaotic, and greedy capital has not completely corroded Schicksal yet."
Bronie's string of words made Welt feel a bit embarrassed.
Indeed, there are quite a few parasites within AE, after all, fighting against Honkai requires money.
Where is the easiest place to get money?
Of course, it's in the hands of capitalists!
So there are often many capitalists inside AE acting as partners, and even Raiden Ryoma is no exception.
"But he..."
Just as Welt was about to warn Bronie that Otto is a very dangerous guy and cooperating with him is like seeking fur from a tiger...
But at this moment, something suddenly smashed through Bronie's office window!
Glass shattered all over the floor!
Bronie dodged in the video, while on Welt's side, he saw a stone flying over.
"Siegfried, you have some nerve! Throwing stones at my windows! Welt, we'll talk later. I'm going to deal with that bastard Siegfried!"
With that, Bronie ended the communication while Welt looked bewildered at everything before him.
Since Siegfried threw stones and shattered the windows, Bronie decided to confront him head-on, breaking through the window and flying out.
Projecting a single-person flying device similar to a Greenish Goblin's skateboard beneath her feet, Bronie accurately located Siegfried in the nearby green forest.
Why Kiana couldn't find Siegfried?
That's mainly because Siegfried was always lurking nearby when Kiana was around. So when Kiana moved into the orphanage, Siegfried didn't refuse, but he kept his distance most of the time. Siegfried probably didn't know that Sirin and Kiana had reconciled.
As for Siegfried, he heard from the people at AE that people from Schicksal were about to arrive, so he was a bit anxious. He feared that Schicksal would directly capture his daughter and turn her into Otto's experiment.
But what good would anxiety do?
He still needed to inform Bronie about this matter. So, not knowing how to contact Bronie, Siegfried resorted to smashing stones through Bronie's office window.
He hit the mark with the first shot, feeling quite pleased. However, he then saw Bronie coming out menacingly as she rode her 'Green Goblin' skateboard.
With lasers locked on and missiles launched unveiled by the hoverboard, Siegfried fled in a desperate manner, almost crawling away.
He frantically dodged the hail of lasers and missiles and explained to Bronie.
"Bronie, it's me, it's me!"
"I know! Siegfried, you irresponsible fool! Do you know who Kiana often talks about when she's sleeping alone in her room?"
Actually, it's Bronie and Sirin.
But that didn't stop Bronie from deceiving Siegfried.
"I have my reasons!"
Feeling uneasy about being bombarded like this, Siegfried recklessly fired a shot with the Judgement of Shamash without even looking, aiming it blindly at Bronie.
The hot bullet flew past, precisely destroying the Green Goblin Hoverboard under Bronie's feet, forcing Bronie to jump off.
With the commotion gone, Siegfried stopped continue fleeing. But there was a benefit, they were far from the orphanage so their conversation wouldn't be overheard.
"Speak, what do you want from me?"
Bronie descended from the sky, leaving Siegfried stunned.
"So, you can actually fly?"
"That's not the point, but it seems you've been struggling lately, Siegfried. You're not shaving or washing. You look much older. Perhaps it's because the only light in your life has disappeared, making your daily life more decadent."
Unable to approach Kiana again, Siegfried feared that his presence might trigger Sirin, making him the scapegoat for all humanity.
"I don't want Kiana to have too much contact with Schicksal's people. If Schicksal finds out where Kiana is, she'll definitely be taken to Schicksal Headquarters as an experiment!"
Seeing Bronie's imposing demeanor, Siegfried felt quite guilty. So when he heard Bronie asking for the main point, Siegfried expressed his concern.
"Fu Hua doesn't completely belong to Schicksal."
"Huh?"
Siegfried looked puzzled.
"But you're right. If Durandal sees her, she'll definitely be pursued."
Knowing Durandal's straightforward nature, Bronie was well aware that a fight would be inevitable then.
And if Sirin sees her getting along well with Fu Hua, she might even be seen as a traitor and get blasted on the spot.
Although Sirin has become quite lazy, she's still dangerous when provoked.
"So, what do you want me to do? Should I reveal your whereabouts to Kiana, or should I just drive her away?"
"Just revealing my whereabouts is enough. I'll gradually guide Kiana away from Schicksal's sight. Even though Fu Hua in your words is the Immortal who has guarded Shenzou for five thousand years, she's now working for Schicksal."
Actually, Otto does not dare to command Fu Hua anymore.
After all, Fu Hua has regained most of her memories, and if she's fooled again, Elysia won't stand for it.
"Alright, about your hand..."
"No problem, it's just the cost of using power that day. It's not a big issue."
"No, I mean if you don't mind, I'll send a blueprint for a prosthetic limb to Tesla's side. Then you can ask Tesla to make you a prosthetic limb. This way, there won't be too much trouble in battles."
"Thank you!"
Siegfried nodded, and then Bronie seemed to throw something, which Siegfried hurriedly caught.
"These are Kiana's exam scores during this period. She just barely passed each exam. Even though I accelerated the teaching curriculum and let her study a lot of knowledge ahead of time, her final grades are still just passing."
"What!?"
Siegfried looked bewildered.
The knowledge covered is almost at the level of high school, and Bronie even hacked into Welt's computer to obtain a lot of materials from the St. Freya Academy. Bronie thought it would be good for Kiana to preview the lessons.
But still, she just barely passed, which was impressive feat for Kiana at her age.
"Could it be that my daughter is a genius!?"
"She still needs to grow in character, but I actually don't want Kiana to only grow when she encounters deeply painful experiences. So I'm worried."
Kiana does have quite a bit of intelligence, and she only puts in a little effort because of Bronie's adoption. So Bronie seized on Kiana's small desire to study and paid special attention to her education.
Kiana would often ask why she needed to learn so much. Bronie's answer was that this knowledge was necessary if she wanted to understand Siegfried.
Of course, there were also many knowledge that only Valkyries would learn, as well as some specialized knowledge in the special agent field of the St. Freya Academy.
And Kiana managed to pass.
This level of achievement is actually quite surprising.
Seeing Bronie's distress, Siegfried was even more puzzled.
When would he have time to take Kiana to study?
At most, he could take her to a city, roam around for a while, make Kiana think he would stay there for a long time, and then wait for Kiana to go to school on her own temporarily.
"So where do you plan to take her?"
Seeing Siegfried's silence, Bronie continued to inquire.
To be honest, Kiana's current state couldn't be better.
Who knows what would happen after she goes out?
Bronie still felt a bit reluctant to part with the adorable Kiana.
"My friend's place. The whole city is relatively closed off but developed. My friend's influence covers the entire city, and Schicksal's eyes can't reach there. However, in terms of education, it probably won't be as good as here."
Siegfried also knew that education was important, but he didn't have the ability himself. So when he saw Bronie giving Kiana lessons little by little and inviting various professors to teach online, Siegfried was quite satisfied.
Seeing Kiana settle in at Bronie's place, Siegfried didn't stop her. After all, with Bronie's combat power, Sirin might not even win against Bronie even if she awakened.
And in all this time, Sirin had hardly awakened, which was a good sign!
"Nagazora?"
"How did you...?"
"So you've already decided, right? To be honest, you're the worst father I've ever seen. You always make what you think is the right choice at critical moments, only to find out later that everything is wrong. Avoidance never solves any problems. This time, I'll let you take Kiana away, but after that, you'd better explain to Kiana why you're leaving."
Bronie was extremely disappointed in Siegfried's current state.
Seeing him looking so dejected, Bronie couldn't help but suspect that if Siegfried continued to take care of Kiana for a long time, problems would inevitably arise.
It's temperament, as well as behavior over time, that's passed down through words and deeds.
"I know..."
"Don't just say you know. What I want is a promise. Otherwise, I won't let Kiana leave. Instead, I'll bring you right in front of her!"
Sigh... This little girl is not to be trifled with!
Hearing Bronie's words, Siegfried suddenly felt overwhelmed.
"Kiana is ready. She's mentally prepared to face that truth, and Sirin is ready too."
Now Bronie had closed off all escape routes. Having lived with Kiana for a long time, Bronie had the most say in this matter.
Even though Siegfried hadn't explained the reason for leaving Kiana once, he only now realized that Bronie actually knew everything.
"Okay, I promise. After taking Kiana away, I will definitely tell her the whole truth."
"The Kaslana family never breaks its promises, right?"
"...Right."

Bab 128: Chapter 128: Farewell to Kiana
Sometimes Bronie felt like Siegfried was similar to a child who resorts in primitive means to get attention.
Although primitive, it was indeed effective.
After bidding farewell to Siegfried, Bronie returned to her office feeling grumpy while slowly repairing the broken window with her abilities.
Shortly after, Bronie heard another sound of shattered glass!
"Sis Bronie, Bronya thought Sis Bronie had already caught that guy!"
Bronya was in Bronie's room because she heard that Bronie's office window had been smashed, so she came to see if Sis Bronie was too angry.
It's quite strange for Bronya, she had accompanied Sister Bronie for a long time yet she never see her truly angry.
Is it because Bronie has a very good temper, or is it because of Bronie's usual character?
Like the Joyous Aeon of Elation, who could laugh even in the face of the most awkward situations. But this time, Bronya felt like there's a chance of it happening.
"That's Kiana's dad..."
"Sis Bronie! I saw that old man! I'm going after him!!"
The speech immediately followed by third sound of glass breaking just like Bronie's previous departure.
Bronie suddenly felt her blood pressure rise.
Kiana's actions were quite decisive.
After breaking the window, she immediately started shooting wildly with the dual pistols her dad gave her, causing Siegfried to immediately retreat into the forest.
Kiana felt like she couldn't catch up for a moment.
"So, Kiana's father, after abandoning Kiana, is now coming to smash Kiana's window?"
Bronya was a bit puzzled by that man's thought process. Could it be that parents are all like this?
"Sirin used to have a tendency to destroy humanity, and didn't I tell you? The culprit behind the Second Eruption which resulted in the death of your parents was actually Sirin."
"Bronya understands."
Bronya's face also showed a conflicted expression.
At first, everyone was still wary of Sirin.
Although that guy claimed to be Sirin, the real Sirin already died in the previous Eruption.
The Sirin in front of them was just a second personality born under the negative influence of Sirin.
In everyone's eyes, she was just a pitiful person.
But does Siegfried believe that she's Sirin?
Hearing this, Bronya couldn't help but sigh.
"So, is everything clear now?"
"People always believe in what they believe in. For the Kaslana family, explaining these things is a bit difficult for him. I'm afraid Siegfried will only understand this after a long time with Sirin, but the key is Siegfried doesn't want to contact Sirin, and Sirin is explosive at any moment."
So Bronie's judgment was to simply let the misunderstanding continue.
When Siegfried discovered that Sirin was playing with someone else, let down her guard, and then talk to Siegfried about this matter.
Of course, Bronie also mentioned the matter of Sirin not really being Sirin, but was only stared back by Siegfried's 'wise' eyes, making Bronie feel quite tired.
"Why choose to appear now?"
Bronya still didn't quite understand.
"Well, it's probably because people from Schicksal Headquarters are coming, and Siegfried is afraid that Kiana will be taken to Schicksal Headquarters as an experimental subject. After all, Schicksal Headquarters is a huge floating island over the Mediterranean, and Siegfried alone can't break into Schicksal Headquarters."
"Will Valkyries take her for human experiments?"
"In fact, in order to study the Honkai, whether it's Entropy, Schicksal, or World Serpent, they will choose to do human experiments. Valkyries like that are rare materials, how can they be let go? You know, you can never rely on strangers, nor can you expect strangers to have the same conscience as you."
When Bronya realized the general situation of the matter, she judged that Kiana would most likely leave the orphanage soon.
Today, Bronie who rarely made games, found a button under the desk instead, and then pressed it. Entering the password, a bottle of wine appeared in Bronie's hand.
This was the wine Bronie recreated from the memory data given to her by Eden.
It probably belonged to the priceless category in the previous efa.
But for Bronie who could easily mass-produce, these were definitely not considered priceless.
"Sis Bronie, why did you suddenly want to drink today?"
Bronya had never seen Bronie drink before.
Today, she didn't expect Bronie to actually take out a bottle of wine from under the desk.
Bronie took out a corkscrew, pulled out the cork of the wine, and blew directly into the bottle.
"Nothing much. I just feeling melancholic. Kiana's state of mind and her future. Wings hardened will eventually soar, but never did I expect Kiana to be the last to come and the first to leave."
Bronie had thought Anila would be the first to leave the orphanage because she was a mathematical genius. If she went to school, she would easily be recommended by teachers and then directly enter university for further studies.
Perhaps she would even become a doctor of mathematics in the future.
"So, Sister Bronie doesn't actually want Kiana to leave?"
Watching Bronie take another sip of wine, Bronya felt her sister was sad at the moment.
"Yes, the road ahead is rough. Leaving this orphanage, there are many dangers outside. She might meet more people, form more bonds, but Honkai could take all of that away because Kiana's power is still insufficient."
Bronya didn't know what to say.
Shouldn't everyone avoid escaping?
Or should Kiana actually have the power to protect herself?
But Bronya felt that Bronie wasn't afraid of losing bonds; she was worried that Kiana's firepower wasn't enough.
...
After about four hours, Kiana returned.
Kiana returning was like a victorious warrior, instantly surrounded by the children.
After hearing that it was Kiana's father, Siegfried, who broke the orphanage's window, there was even more sighing.
Everyone here didn't have parents, but Kiana was directly abandoned by her dad. Seeing Kiana's expression, everyone felt a bit more pity for her.
As for envy?
That was definitely not there.
After Kiana came back, she shouted that she wanted to leave the orphanage.
There was no way she'd stay after Siegfried walked straight to the airport!
And he even boarded a plane as soon as he arrived, so Kiana had no way to track him.
Later, she found out she didn't have her ID or wallet with her, and she couldn't even show her guns at the airport.
In the end, Kiana could only suppress her anger and return to the orphanage to pack her things.
As for where to go?
The distant Nagazora City in the Far East. Kiana with sharp eyes, even saw the plane Siegfried boarded.
But before leaving, she had to say goodbye to Bronie.
"Sister Bronie!"
The office door opened, revealing Bronie lying on Bronya's lap, with many wine bottles on the sofa.
"Kiana, Sis Bronie is already drunk."
But even a normal person would get drunk after drinking so much wine, it's just that Bronya felt Bronie was pretending to be drunk.
It's obvious that she just didn't want to see Kiana say goodbye to her.
Really, Bronie also didn't expect to have this side to her.
"I'm not drunk!"
Bronie suddenly got up.
Kiana instantly perked up.
"Sis Bronie, thank you for taking care of me during this time! And for teaching me how to get along with the other me..."
Kiana had a lot more to say, but she was hugged by Bronie.
Her broad chest buried Kiana's head, and the fragrance of her body mixed with a hint of alcohol wafted over.
"If you live outside, remember to protect yourself. There's an organization called World Serpent that actively triggers Honkai. Be extremely cautious. Don't just rush into things outside. Remember to consider the consequences, don't wait until it's too late to regret."
"Okay..."
Kiana tried to respond, but it was hard to respond when she was buried in soft marshmallows.
"I've prepared the neural interface device Sirin wanted. She can play inside your consciousness at any time, but remember to charge it. I've also prepared more different forms of identification for you to conceal your whereabouts. And for the Schicksal OS system, I've left you a backdoor. If you activate the automatic identity concealment, no one will be able to see you in the surveillance."
The so-called Schicksal OS is actually a crime prevention surveillance system built by Schicksal in various factions, monitoring and pursuing all criminals within its surveillance range through pervasive monitoring and Schicksal's database.
It's like Otto's eyes.
But that thing isn't as reliable as you might think. At least Grey Serpent can come and go as he pleases, and Bronie can use its resources without leaving a trace.
But Kiana can't, nor can Entropy, let alone Siegfried.
Of course, the Schicksal OS system is still spreading and being built all over the world, and it hasn't truly achieved omnipresence yet, which is a good thing.
"Bronie..."
"Lastly, if you encounter someone you can't beat, just run away. Trust Sirin, she can help you with a lot of things. Then go chase after your goals."
"Okay, after I catch that old man, I'll come back! I'll even take my studies seriously!"
"Then I'll set the pass mark at eighty next time."
"Ah! Please no!"
In the end, Kiana packed up her things and said goodbye to everyone.
Of course, she wouldn't leave behind her gaming console and a bunch of skirts projected by Bronie's interests.
All these things were stuffed into a chameleon-style backpack. Kiana, who still looked very young, put on the backpack and set off again.
After Kiana left, Bronie grabbed Sin Mal who was watching Kiana leave.
"Tonight, you'll sleep with me!"
"Darn it! Sis Bronie, how can you drink so much!"
Sin was very unhappy, but she still carried Bronie back to their room.
Actually, everyone knew that Bronie couldn't bear to see Kiana leave. After all, she was the most lively and cute kid in the orphanage.
Everyone liked Kiana even though she appears a bit foolish sometimes and was lazy in her studies.
But whenever there was something good, Kiana would be the first to share it with everyone, and her sincere smile could always touch many people.
It's just a pity that Bronie didn't have a reason to keep Kiana, because Kiana was also exceptionally talented in battle, and her strength was unmatched.
Bronie just hoped that Kiana could have an easier journey and not let such a lovely girl suffer too much!
...
The day after Kiana left, Fu Hua and Durandal came to the orphanage.
This orphanage was relatively remote, and it took more than two hours from the airport.
But it didn't matter, Fu Hua quite liked this kind of life close to nature.
In such a place, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, returning to nature, there weren't many Honkai Beasts.
"Welcome to Haxxor Bunny's Den! Fu Hua, how have you been lately? And Bianka... No, I guess I should call you Durandal now, right? The Sea of Quanta is constantly experiencing strange phenomena, and there are deeper shadows lurking within it. But you follow your own will and fight for all the beauty in the world. You're already a great hero~"
Bronie looked at the once somewhat Kiana-like Durandal, whose temperament had completely changed. It could be said she had nothing to do with Kiana anymore.
"I... I'm not yet a mature and powerful warrior, but indeed, as you said, I will strive to fight for everything beautiful in the world. From now on, I will form the Immortal Blades squad under Schicksal and eliminate Honkai worldwide! Ms. Bronie, would you like to contribute your strength to the eradication of Honkai?"
Reversing the Bubble World brought a lot of physical pressure to Durandal, but the Holy Sword Durandal provided her with continuous reinforcement, and her body was constantly adapting.
In short, this small universe inside Durandal's body was very beneficial.
That's why Durandal felt she was doing well again, so she came to spar with Bronie.
Although Fu Hua said Durandal might lose.
But there was no Valkyrie in Schicksal who could defeat her anymore!
The Honkai Beasts were almost crushed in an instant.
To know her body's limits, to know how much she had grown, Durandal came to find Bronie.
As for why she didn't find Fu Hua?
Beating up a 50,000-year-old person, is that appropriate?
Moreover, Fu Hua's body had just recovered.
Who knows if there would be any unforeseen circumstances in some of Mobius' improvised areas?
Faced with Durandal's invitation, Bronie just smiled.
"I'll fight against Honkai my way, but definitely not by putting my strength in Schicksal. If you want to fight against Honkai, Schicksal is definitely not the best option, because there's too much darkness hidden within it, maybe something you're unaware of. Do you know Schrodinger? Do you know Sirin? They're both related to the darkness of Schicksal."
Precisely mentioning these two people left Durandal speechless.
Perhaps... there really was darkness within Schicksal, but this was the most direct channel Durandal thought of to fight against Honkai.
She only had talents as a warrior; she wasn't familiar with how to thoroughly fight against Honkai.
So she believed that as long as she could get on the battlefield, directly eliminate Honkai Beasts and Herrschers, protect civilians, and save other Valkyries, these were the real priorities.
"But, I'll still offer you as much help as I can! Just for you~"
With that, Bronie winked at Durandal.
And Miss Durandal looked utterly puzzled.
