To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

After all, it's normal that they don't know much about the current civilization.

As for the others... Gretchen certainly didn't realize he believed her, but since he was focused on drawing, the expressions on their faces didn't change much.

This message is somewhat outdated, no matter how you look at it; surely everyone knows it…

"Huh? Are the eldest sister and Kiana sisters in the game too?"

Sirin asked, somewhat confused. As a queen, she rarely thought about such things, and she really thought that the real Kiana was dead!

"But...is that...Dad?"

Kiana's eyes lit up as she looked towards Cecilia.

She also missed her father, Siegfried. Although she didn't feel much connection with her mother, seeing him in the game made her miss her childhood.

"Although I don't know how Siegfried got there in the game... in reality, such a miracle probably didn't happen to him."

Cecilia was silent for a moment, but then slowly revealed the truth.

Unfortunately, aside from Durandal, the only explanation she gave Kiana at the time was that Siegfried had gone to a very far place. As she grew up and became more sensible, she understood and stopped mentioning it, though she felt a little sad. But who would have thought...

There really is a place that can be described as remote and unreachable.

Kaslana Stigmata Space? Why not a Schariac Stigmata Space?

She secretly resented Luo Mo, but also explained to Kiana the differences from the game.

"Oh fine."

Kiana's eyes dimmed for a moment, but she quickly recovered and regained her spirits. After all, this was something she had expected, but the similar scenes in the game gave her new fantasies.

—Maybe Dad really just went to a very far place.

"As expected of Lady Durandal, you easily broke through even the Sacred Mark Trial of the Kaslana family. You are truly amazing."

Rita smiled and gave Durandal an approving look, not holding back her praise.

This is not necessarily wrong.

Countless Kaslana people have failed to inherit the fully awakened Stigmata, but the young girl has already succeeded. Even the hero Siegfried, Durandal's father... wasn't he trapped there too?

"Uh... Rita, don't be like that. Let's try to transfer the power of the World Bubble to you. Maybe you're more suited to it than I am."

Durandal lowered her head shyly, then quickly realized what she meant and looked into Rita's eyes as she spoke.

"Well, that's a tough one for me. It's fine for a short time, but for a long time... I chose Lady Durandal because you were the only one I could choose."

Rita said somewhat embarrassedly, but a look of joy appeared in her eyes. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Durandal, causing Durandal to unconsciously turn her head away.

"We must try it even if it's only for a short time, because if something unexpected happens, it could be dangerous."

She spoke earnestly, but unfortunately, she was speaking to thin air.

"Look at me, Lady Durandal. It's a bit impolite not to stare at me like that."

Rita took a small step forward, straightened his collar, and said gently.

"……Um."

...

As for Durandal's return, although rescuing Headmistress Theresa made them quite happy,

But for the few people present, what they needed to do first was to form a united front.

In other words… there is still one thing that is particularly important.

After all, the opponent is indeed the strongest S-class Valkyrie of Destiny. Regardless of the circumstances, the two in front chose to block her. Perhaps their subjective intention was not so, but that is an established fact.

They had already assigned personnel: Seele stayed behind to look after the other wounded, while Otto and Durandal would fight alongside him.

Although Kiana's greatsword broke at that time, it has now recovered 70% of its Honkai energy, and the greatsword has been barely reconstructed, making it capable of fighting.

But at this moment, before stepping through the door...

“Durandal, I must ask you a question,”

Kiana turned her head seriously to look at her comrade-in-arms, who was about to fight alongside her, and asked,

"In what capacity have you chosen to fight Otto?"

She has many identities, but as Durandal and Otto said at the beginning, the power to kill him should be exercised by Kiana and the others.

Regardless of the perspective or the plan, Otto practically controlled her life.

From birth to now, through school, the pursuit of knowledge, beauty, disaster, chivalry, and wandering... she has rarely seen him, yet a pair of behind-the-scenes forces have always been manipulating her life.

Even if there were beautiful moments during that time, they were merely the calm before the storm, meant to strengthen her resolve to fight against the Herrschers.

As for her own thoughts and wishes, Otto never considered them.

Therefore, she has many reasons.

But Durandal is different. She once said that Otto is to her what Theresa is to her.

Durandal looked at the resolute warrior before her, who was also her unacknowledged sister. She felt a mixture of pride and arrogance.

After a moment's thought, she frankly admitted that she simply believed some things required a person to make their own decisions.
