However, this does not mean that Cecilia had no regrets when she sacrificed herself.

She wanted to watch her daughter grow up, to grow old with her lover, and to live happily with her friends.

Who would want to make such a decision unless forced to?

However, now, he has actually been given a second life.

Not only that, the son of her deceased friend also told her that she could see her daughter, whom she had failed to fulfill her responsibilities to, one more time.

Overwhelmed by happiness, Cecilia found herself at a loss for words.

"Sigh, let's talk about it when we see Kiana."

After saying this, Gu Yu looked at the other Valkyries.

"Gentlemen, I apologize, but this method cannot be used frequently. If possible, please bear with us for now."

"By the way, we won the Second Honkai War. As for Miss Cheng Lixue, Fu Hua is doing alright for now, so don't worry too much about her."

"Is that so... That's good then."

Upon hearing the news about her master, Cheng Lixue said with relief.

"That's fine, young friend, thank you."

The others exchanged glances, then immediately looked at Cecilia with grins.

"Hey, we don't have anyone we need to see. Let's give this opportunity to the captain."

"That's right, speaking of which... Patrick, you're actually an Anti-Entropy spy! You kept it from us for so long!"

"I had no choice, okay? Now that the person is dead, you still want to pursue this matter?!"

Perhaps to distract Cecilia, Patrick and Shub started wrestling like elementary school kids.

Salome, watching her two best friends start bickering, felt like she had a lot of complaints stuck in her throat and couldn't get them out.

"Thank you, everyone."

As she felt her figure gradually fading away, Cecilia suddenly remembered something.

It's strange, why did Xiaoyu only mention Kiana and not Siegfried?

Siegfried, have you actually taken good care of Kiana all these years...?

………………

real world

Only five minutes have passed since Gu Yu fell into a coma.

But looking at Gu Yu's current state, Kiana felt incredibly anxious.

Unlike her previous coma when she was injured, Kiana now appears to have fainted without any apparent reason.

She had learned the most basic wound care methods, but she couldn't think of a solution for this inexplicable coma.

"Big brother, what happened?"

"This doesn't look like an internal injury. Is it due to extreme mental fatigue? Or is there some other reason?"

Looking at the boy in front of her, Kiana felt utterly powerless.

Although she did contribute in the battle against the demonic serpent, the girl believed that if she could be stronger...

—If she had been able to unleash some of her trump cards back then, Gu Yu might not have suffered such severe injuries.

"Ugh, I still feel awful."

After regaining her consciousness, Gu Yu immediately activated the Aurora Curtain.

The instant he activated the Holy Mark, a figure suddenly appeared from the void.

"Big brother, are you alright... Huh?"

Kiana, who had originally intended to care about Gu Yu, suddenly froze when she saw the figure she had been longing for day and night.

No, it's impossible.

Am I just too tired and hallucinating?

No, that's impossible.

She died fourteen years ago while protecting this world...

Even if she were resurrected by that villain, she wouldn't be able to reappear here once the villain's power is exhausted.

But no matter how much Kiana denied it, she couldn't tear her gaze away from the figure in front of her.

"Mother……"

Kiana, I'm back.

After gently embracing her daughter whom she hadn't seen for many years, Cecilia finally couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

"You've suffered all these years..."

"No, Mom... I've been doing very well all these years..."

After saying those words, Kiana couldn't hold back her tears and started crying loudly.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yu suddenly felt that everything she had done had not been in vain.

Putting everything else aside, at least he's quite willing to take these kinds of extra shifts.

After the mother and daughter embraced for a full five minutes, Cecilia, holding Kiana, sat down on the edge of Gu Yu's bed and gently wiped away the remaining tears from her eyes with her other hand.

"Xiaoyu, Auntie really doesn't know how to thank you."

"Ah, that's exactly what I should say at this time..."

Looking at the ceiling, Gu Yu said indifferently.

"It's what I should do."

Cecilia felt very gratified as she watched the boy deliberately avoid her gaze.

Although the child has become so shy now, I was right about him back then.

If it's him, it should be possible...

But at this moment, Cecilia, remembering the promise, suddenly asked the two of them a question.

"Xiaoyu, Kiana. You two are both here, so..."

"Siegfried, where is Siegfried?"

Something's not right. Cecilia had felt something was off since before.

Gu Yu wanted her to see her daughter, and she was very grateful for Gu Yu's kindness.

But if that's the case, why wasn't Siegfried by Kiana's side at such a crucial moment?

With these questions in mind, Cecilia ultimately chose to ask them directly.

Then—the previously warm atmosphere turned into an extremely awkward situation.

"Mr. Siegfried... Mr. Siegfried's words..."

Seeing the growing doubt in Cecilia's eyes, Gu Yu really didn't know how to answer.

You can't exactly tell this heroine who was just resurrected after sacrificing herself fourteen years ago what kind of awful things her husband has done all these years.

Even though Gu Yu beat Siegfried three times, he still felt that some of the things Siegfried did back then were indeed out of necessity.

But even if there's no other way, he can't wash away the mess this person made!

What should I do? What should I do now? If I tell Cecilia directly, she'll probably be sad.

Wow, why do I have to be responsible for preventing family disputes and domestic violence when I'm on vacation?

I'm so tired, I don't want to move.

"Mr. Siegfried's words..."

Mr. Siegfried?!

Upon hearing Kiana address Siegfried in this way, Cecilia immediately asked anxiously.

"What happened to Siegfried?!"

Siegfried is Kiana's father, and it's one thing for Gu Yu to use such a distant form of address, but why does his own daughter do it too...?

"He made his own choice, that's all."

After omitting many words, Kiana, who should have been very happy, spoke to her mother in a cold tone.

“I am no longer a member of the Kaslana clan, Mother.”

"I now have a new name."

“I am Kiana Schariac, a warrior of the Schariac race.”

Chapter 242. Tell me, did I do the right thing?

North America. Anti-Entropy Headquarters

"yawn!"

Inside the Anti-Entropy headquarters, Siegfried, who had just completed a mission, suddenly sneezed loudly in front of Tesla and Einstein.

"Mr. Siegfried, what is this...?"

Einstein frowned as he watched Siegfried sneeze without warning.

For ordinary people, a sneeze is nothing serious, but when this common phenomenon occurs in a super soldier like Siegfried, something is not quite right.

"Hey, you 'chicken head' guy, if I remember correctly..."

Tesla glanced suspiciously at Siegfried, who was still rubbing his nose, and then frowned slightly.

"After using the activator, Siegfried's body should..."

"Ah, after using the activator, the Honkai Beast genes hidden in his body should keep his body temperature at a low level all year round."

"In this situation, the probability of him catching a cold is... the same as the probability of Otto suddenly focusing all his energy on fighting the Honkai."
