Bab 3: Chapter 3: "Meet Siegfried"
Day goes to day, month to month.
Time passed very quickly, and no one living in the old log cabin cared about this.
For K-423, every day made no difference to him at all.
Struggling with the pain of splitting his head, hearing the story of the white-haired girl for a moment, testing his mental endurance, and then passing out like going to sleep.
That's what he goes through everyday.
It feels like in the hell.
Of course, perhaps because of too many times, K-423 eventually got used to it, and he didn't become as stressed as before.
The number of times he woke up and defended, also increased little by little.
"Ahahaha!!! I can finally move!"
Gets out of bed, and waves his arms excitedly. K-423 has finally managed to take control of this resident host's body.
The struggle so far has not been easy.
Feeling like the body is being controlled by someone else, and unable to do anything about it makes K-423 very depressed.
He had used various methods so he could control this girl's body. However, everything ended in failure.
K-423 once begged this little girl to let him control her body. But this white-haired girl only tilted her head in confusion, not understanding what he meant, and how to go about it.
That really frustrated K-423.
"It seems it's only at night when she's asleep that I can control this body. If I think about it, I always faint at nightfall."
K-423 could only sigh.
"Every day I always think about how to control this body, but after doing it and feeling happy for a while, I don't feel anything anymore. This pain still cuts through my head."
"Maybe... I go sleep?"
K-423 who is lying in bed, thinks about the meaning of his life many times.
"No! This is a very rare opportunity! I can't just go to sleep! At least go around the room 50 times!"
Rising from the bed, and removing the bandage wrapped around his right eye, K-423 who recovered his sight normally, smiled with relief.
The reason why this little girl had wrapped her right eye in bandages was because her other eye was the color of bright gold.
The color of the eyes that always reminded Siegfried of the 2nd herrscher, someone who had killed his wife.
Although Siegfried knew that the second herrscher was not the cause of Cecilia's death, but Otto. Those hateful eyes that accidentally leaked out, always made this sensitive little girl feel very scared.
That's why she always wrapped around her right eye using a bandage so as not to see hate like that from her father's eyes again.
"Siegfried is most likely still outside right now… How about going exploring the house? Wait a minute, I have a good idea! Go to the fridge!"
K-423's eyes shone brightly.
If there's one thing that doesn't make him happy more than a headache, it's probably the taste of her food.
Siegfried is not good at cooking, and the curse of the kaslana family is still very clear through the black dishes he makes.
For this girl, whatever her father made and gave her she would always eat with pleasure. Either it's good or bad.
K-423 still remembers when he woke up, and he found that this girl was tasting the black food her father made. The feeling of wanting to vomit but not being able to, made K-423 faint immediately on the spot.
It is a terrible memory.
"It's decided, find the fridge and eat delicious food!"
Felt his blood burning very profusely. K-423 walked towards the bedroom door, and he slammed it hard!
But...
Not even taking a few steps, he returned to his room in a cold sweat.
"No, no! Why is it so dark outside!? This house has no light bulbs? Why is it so dark!"
Important things need to be repeated several times.
"Just go to sleep? No! Kaslana won't give up on something like this! Baba Homu, accompany me!"
The Baba Homu that K-423 is referring to is a yellow rabbit-shaped Homu doll that this white-haired girl always plays with when she is lonely.
The girl saw it as a friend who could accompany her in loneliness. K-423, who has the same memory as her, also considers Baba Homu as his best friend.
"Baba Homu, give me courage. Let's fight for all the good food in this world."
Saying the Kaslana family oath spell to himself. K-423 mustered up the courage, and he headed out of his room after mustering up enough courage.
"If I'm not mistaken the kitchen area is around here..."
Walking past the dimly lit living room, and past the place the little girl used to frequent when she was hungry in his memories. K-423 finds the kitchen area, and he sees a small fridge there.
"Finally found! Let's see what things are stored there~"
Like an explorer finding a treasure chest. K-423 looks around carefully, before he opens the fridge door very gently.
"Vodka, It's too much..."
K-423 is stunned.
"Oh... There's frozen meat... as well as cheese? Put it in the loot!"
Picked up the packaged cheese, and tucked it into his arms. K-423 looks up for more, and he finally finds something interesting.
"Why are pastries stored in the fridge? Aren't they moist?"
A series of questions flashed through his head. K-423 is confused.
"Whatever, I don't care anymore! I can finally eat delicious food!"
Forget all the questions that pooled in his brain. K-423 squinted his eyes like crescent moons, and he hummed in a very cute voice.

"What is she doing in the kitchen?"
Siegfried was currently still in a dilemma.
Since he failed to save his daughter from the Schicksal headquarters, and made her die. He fell into a deep depression, and he tried to get drunk to drown out his senses.
Drinking until drunk, and exterminating Honkai monsters around his neighborhood, is his daily routine nowadays.
He thought that he would be like this forever.
Unchanging, not caring about tomorrow, sinking into deep sorrow.
But....
Ever since the girl said that she wanted to be a real Kaslana just like himself. Siegfried felt something strange rise up from the depths of his long-dead heart.
He didn't know what it was.
All he could do was fulfill his promise to teach the little girl how to fight. Though he still forbade her to go outside the cabin, and fight with the Honkai beasts.
"...I've suspected for a long time that she isn't making imaginary friends. There's someone talking to her, is it Sirin?"
Siegfried thought, and he shook his head.
If it was Sirin who had awakened, then Sirin would attack him with all the might she could muster. An example is when she woke up when this little girl was only 9 years old.
Even though he managed to put Sirin back to sleep. The price he had to pay was that this girl who looked just like his daughter had to lose all of her memories.
Maybe... It was a blessing in adversity.
"Could it be that she's just hungry, and went into the kitchen just to eat? No, something's wrong. Why is her right eye purple?"
Siegfried becomes suspicious of his memories.
The clone's eyes, which are similar to his daughter's, are blue in color, typical of the Kaslana family. Sirin's eyes, 2nd herrscher are golden. Then, now why did her eyes turn purple?
There is something wrong.
Siegfried held Judgment of Shamash tightly.
