Do you think this world is serious?

Perhaps because she had just cried, Kiana's voice was a little hoarse, and she couldn't help but address Cecilia with respect.

Although she really wanted to ask the person in front of her if she was "Cecilia Shaniat", she suddenly choked up when she tried to say her mother's name, and couldn't bring herself to say it.

Cecilia guessed Kiana's thoughts and took the initiative to introduce herself: "Kiana, although I may be different from the 'she' you remember, I am indeed 'Cecilia Schariac'."

Kiana didn't quite understand what Cecilia meant by "some discrepancies," but that didn't matter. As long as she was certain that the person in front of her was "Cecilia Shaniat," that was enough.

"You probably haven't eaten yet, have you? Would you like to come over for dinner?"

Cecilia took the initiative to invite Kiana.

Upon hearing this, Kiana took a deep breath to compose herself, and then revealed her usual energetic smile.

"Okay! Even if I've already eaten, I can still eat three big bowls of food if it's cooked by Mom!"

"You're so glib! Binge eating is not a good habit."

Cecilia pinched Kiana's cheek, making Kiana scratch her head a little embarrassed.

Does your mother live around here?

"Hmm. I'll introduce you to a few people later; they might surprise you."

"Hmph~ No matter who it is, no one could surprise me more than my mother appearing in front of me!"

Kiana seemed to have returned to the time when she lived and studied at St. Freya Academy, shedding her maturity that was inappropriate for her age and putting on a childlike and lively appearance again.

Even just today, please let me have a good rest...

Kiana spoke to herself in her heart, which was also a warning, but she did not express it out loud.

……

Kiana thought that after meeting Cecilia, she would no longer be surprised by anything that happened.

But when she entered Cecilia's house, she realized that she had overestimated herself.

Or rather, when two Cecilia figures appear before you, identical in appearance and temperament, it would be impossible for either of them to treat them with a calm mind.

"This, I..."

Kiana stared in disbelief. "Am I really not dreaming?"

"Of course I'm not dreaming. I was in a similar situation to you at first, and I almost thought I was dreaming."

Shigure Kira's voice pulled Kiana back to reality.

Kiana looked towards the sound and saw a hint of reminiscence and longing in Shigure Kira's eyes.

Kiana, do you still remember me?

"Eh?"

Kiana was slightly taken aback, then tried to search through her past memories, attempting to find anything related to Shigure Kira.

"You are……"

Kiana recalled fragments of the past and tentatively asked, "Shigure Kira of the Snow Wolf Squad?"

The members of the Snow Wolf Squad are no secret at both Destiny Academy and St. Freya Academy; in fact, St. Freya Academy has even included information about the Snow Wolf Squad in its teaching materials.

Although Kiana didn't pay much attention in class before, she still had a deep impression of the Snow Wolf Squad.

After all, the Snow Wolf Squad was the only Valkyrie squad led by an S-rank Valkyrie at the time, and it was also the sharpest spear that Schicksal used to fight against the Honkai.

Chapter 274 Kiana: Sister Qiluo is already an old lady.

Shigure Kira's expectant expression froze instantly, and then she asked again, "Anything else?"

Kiana frowned, racking her brains to recall, but she still couldn't find any memories related to Shigure Kira.

"Sorry... I really don't remember."

"It's normal that you don't remember it, after all, you were less than two years old at the time."

Shigure Kira hung her head, looking somewhat discouraged, but her words silenced Kiana.

As people grow older, their childhood experiences often become blurred and eventually forgotten, especially memories from when they were two years old.

Let alone the fact that Kiana isn't the "real Kiana," even if she were the "real Kiana," she couldn't possibly remember her experiences at age two.

"I used to hold you in my arms."

As she spoke, Shigure Kira gestured with her hands, seemingly indicating how Kiana looked when she was two years old.

"Huh? Is Sister Qiluo that old?"

Kiana did the math and realized that seventeen years had passed since she was two years old. Since Shigure Kira had held her back then, it meant that Shigure Kira was at least thirty years old, and maybe even forty or fifty.

Thinking of this, she muttered to herself, "She's someone similar to Aunt Flo..."

"I'm not that old!"

When it comes to age, it often deals a devastating blow to women. For example, Shigure Kira's voice rose a few decibels due to her emotional fluctuations.

"Sister Qiluo is indeed not very old."

Kiana wholeheartedly agreed with Shigure Kira, but Shigure Kira could sense that Kiana didn't believe her.

Shigure Kira seemed annoyed and tugged at Kiana's cheek, then pressed down on her head and gently rubbed it.

"Although I don't know what you've been through, but... thank you for your hard work, Kiana."

Even though Kiana disguised herself well, Shigure Kira could still see the weariness and haggardness hidden deep in her eyes.

From this glimpse, Shiyu Qiluo could tell that Kiana's life over the years had been very difficult and arduous.

Kiana opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything. In the end, she could only let out a soft "hmm".

"Kiana, you should take a good rest for now."

Shigure Kira patted Kiana's shoulder again and continued, "Don't think about anything else, just focus on resting and recuperating—if anyone has bullied you before, just tell me, and I'll help you get revenge!"

Perhaps trying to cheer Kiana up, Shigure Kira struck a muscular pose as she said this, "According to the standards of the [Original World], my current strength is already that of a true S-rank Valkyrie."

"Wow~ Sister Qiluo is amazing."

Kiana provided emotional support at the right time, which made Shigure Kira raise her head proudly.

Then, she changed the subject and asked, "Sister Qiluo, could you tell me... the story of those two mothers?"

Although Kiana didn't know Cecilia's or the school principal Cecilia's origins, the moment she saw them, she knew that neither of them were her "mothers" in the true sense.

Even though her personality, preferences, temperament, and appearance are exactly the same as her "mother's," she can't possibly be her mother, but she is very satisfied with it.

after all……

She was not Cecilia Shaniat's real daughter either.

"No problem."

Shiyu Kira readily agreed, "However, I don't know much about those two Cecilia ladies, but I do know quite a bit about your mother."

"Well……"

Kiana hesitated for a second before deciding to first learn about Cecilia's experiences in the "Original World" from Shigure Kira.

……

Meanwhile, Chen Xiuming sat in the restaurant area, not disturbing Kiana's acquaintance and closeness with the two Cecilias and Shigure Kira.

Janna rested her chin on her hand, smiling as she watched Kiana sitting on the sofa whispering with Shigure Kira, and then occasionally glancing at the silent End Kiana, as if in comparison.

"Although I love Kiana deeply, this immature Kiana is actually cuter."

Janna murmured to herself, yet it sounded as if she were chatting with Kiana of the End.

Kiana ignored Janna and stared at Kiana, as if she were sizing her up.

"...She is me, yet she is not me."

After observing for a while, Kiana suddenly uttered words that sounded like nonsense.

Janna's smile faded slightly, replaced by a hint of interest.

"My dear Kiana, what are you trying to say?"

"..."

Kiana did not give an immediate reply. Her gaze was fixed on Kiana, as if she could see through Kiana's body and focus on the Herrscher core that was sealed within Kiana's body.

"She has a Herrscher core within her, and it is the Herrscher core of the Herrscher of the Void."

Kiana spoke softly, but did not directly answer Janna's question.

Although the actual Herrscher powers are different, she still recognized at a glance that the Herrscher core originated from the [Herrscher of the Void].

Janna seemed to be deep in thought, and then put the matter out of her mind.

For her, it didn't matter whether Kiana was the "real Kiana" or not. As long as the other person had the name "Kiana Kaslana" and looked the same as the final Kiana, then she was the "Kiana" she deeply loved.

Seeing that Kiana and Shigure Kira got along well, Chen Xiuming got up and went into the kitchen to cook for the two Cecilias.

After he entered the kitchen, the conversation between Kiana and Shigure Kira suddenly changed, from Cecilia to Kiana asking about Chen Xiuming's identity.

Shi Yu Qi Luo only gave a brief introduction to Chen Xiu Ming, without providing any details.

The main problem is that she doesn't know much about Chen Xiuming. If she accidentally says something wrong and causes Kiana to have a prejudice against Chen Xiuming, she would probably have to take off all her clothes and make a "shigezu" (a traditional Japanese gesture of humility) to get forgiveness from Chen Xiuming and the two Cecilias.

To avoid Kiana's continued questioning, Shigure Kira quickly changed the subject, preparing to teach Kiana magic using her rudimentary knowledge of magic.

Kiana originally wanted to try to ask more questions about Chen Xiuming, but her attention was quickly drawn to the magic released by Shigure Kira, and she showed considerable interest.

However, this enthusiasm did not last long before it was completely extinguished by the seemingly incomprehensible "Introduction to Magic".

"Sister Qiluo, do we need to learn the theoretical knowledge before we can learn magic?"

"Yes."

Shigure Kira nodded, oblivious to Kiana's slightly embarrassed and awkward expression, and continued, "Don't worry! This is just the most basic magic knowledge. As long as you put in the effort to study it, you can learn it quickly."

"Zun Du Fake Du?"

"real!"
