Is Kiana in Onphalos?

But more than that, there was a touch of soft-heartedness.

Compared to other vague notions of destroying the world or humanity, this is far more meaningful.

Instead, she felt a surge of anger and became even more determined to make Anna stand up properly.

"Because you're such a disgrace! You've disgraced me!"

Herrscher Anna is still Anna.

Seeing Anna like this, she took a deep breath, slightly released her from her embrace, and then suddenly reached out, grabbed Anna's collar, and moved closer to her.

"Everyone looks down on you!"

"You need to be even more ambitious!"

“They actually…didn’t look down on me…” Anna weakly corrected.

"Shut up!" Herald Anna snapped.

"Oh..." Anna shut up and pursed her lips slightly.

"you see me!"

"I think the Herrscher of Reason is shameful, the Herrscher of Void is weak, the Herrscher of Thunder is just so-so, and the Herrscher of Wind is even more shameful!"

"Shouldn't it be our turn to restore the glory of the Herrscher?!"

Herald Anna revealed her true thoughts.

After all, it's about facing yourself. There's nothing to hide.

"When we, as Heralds, truly bring fear to the world, who dares to say we're just a nobody?"

Anna was stunned.

She's a lady from a respectable family; she wouldn't use such vulgar language as "noob" or "street bumpkin."

but.

What shocked her even more was the reason given by the Herrscher Anna.

She... she wants to take my body because of this. And then, destroy humanity?

"What? Is there a problem?"

Herrscher Anna sneered, "Because I am a Herrscher, I have no feelings for humanity, and I have no feelings for the world..."

"Their malice led to my birth. I am very grateful. So, I decided to let them go quickly."

"Is there a problem with this?"

“They…actually, they didn’t have any bad intentions…” Anna tried her best to explain.

But Herald Anna didn't care. "Even if I don't have bad intentions, if I see ants on the roadside, can't I step on them?"

Anna fell silent.

She indeed found it difficult to accept the Herrscher's personality.

"Then you now..."

"Now? I've already said it, I just can't stand some idiot, crying and whining, it's driving me crazy."

"That's what Herrscher Anna said with a haughty air."

"I had shut down most of my emotions, trying to be a cold queen. But you ended up crying, and it gave me a headache."

"What are you yelling about?!"

"It's a battle for bodies, where the winner takes all, right?!"

In fact.

Herald Anna doesn't want to confront Anna.

I don't want to argue.

That's why I've always pretended to be a doll, looking rather stiff.

Want to get the seal? 〤? Qi Ba 〡 Si Ni Shi Wu Liu Da Jiu Da!

but.

Just like the seeds of humanity, they need to be watered in order to take root, sprout, and blossom.

After all, Anna had never been truly harmed by humans in any meaningful way.

Therefore, even though the Herrscher/Yo/Yi/First*-Anna acted like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), believing herself to be the greatest and queen, she couldn't help but soften when she saw the real Anna crying.

Listen to Anna's inner thoughts.

She compared it with her own memories.

The memories, seemingly corrupted and tainted by darkness, have become clearer.

That's why she's now willing to talk.

But some things remain unchanged.

Like the Herrscher Anna, and many other Herrscher personalities, she never thought of destroying her original consciousness.

At best, it merely imprisons the original consciousness.

Then, he obtained a body.

She didn't intend to kill Anna completely.

and so.

In a sense, Herrscher Anna has been holding back all along.

So, at the beginning, she was able to subdue Anna, while Anna, who was crying and hitting wildly and without any strategy, was at a loss for what to do. As if she was afraid of accidentally killing her, she could only retreat again and again.

and so!

If I really had to say something...

The only thing that Herrscher Anna finds important is the Anna standing before her.

Anna is a good girl.

she is not.

Anna has a gentle personality. Yet she is very rebellious.

Anna didn't cherish herself. But she only loved herself.

Only Anna could soften her heart!

"Crying won't help."

Herald Anna looked at Anna, whose eyes were red and swollen, reached out, touched her head, and picked her up again.

Like an older sister.

"If others can't do it, then you'd better prove them wrong!"

"But... my qualifications to become a Valkyrie are only this much..." Anna knew she shouldn't be like this, that she shouldn't be crying in the arms of her Herrscher personality.

This kind of relationship is really strange.

But she looked at the face of the Herrscher Anna, which was exactly the same as her own.

Especially her, talking to herself so gently and kindly.

She's really hard to dislike!

"As a human, this is all the talent one can have. So, what about a Herrscher?" Herrscher Anna said calmly.

Anna was stunned.

As a result, Herrscher Anna seemed to have completely convinced herself and changed her mind. While Anna was still somewhat confused and even bewildered, she spoke directly and frankly.

"Who says that becoming a Herrscher means you can't become a Valkyrie?"

"Haven't you heard? The Law of Reason, the Law of Thunder, aren't they?"

Text: 133. Anna: My other self, please, please don't swear...

"???" Anna's eyes widened even more.

"A Herrscher who fights for humanity?" Herrscher Anna chuckled.

"good."

But then she changed the subject.

"However, I am not a Herrscher who fights for humanity."

"I just want you—no, I want us! To prove them wrong. To slap those people in the face!"

"???" Anna's eyes were still wide open.

Herald Anna spoke with conviction, domineering and forceful.

"I'm doing this only for you, my foolish self. Since everyone says that's all you're capable of, then we'll show them how strong we can be!"

"They say you'll never become an S-class in your life, well then! Now you'll prove them wrong!"

"With the power of us Herrschers, aren't we S-rank enough?"

She saw Anna staring at her blankly.

Her pretty face flushed almost imperceptibly.

"so!"

"Don't cry!"

"..." Anna couldn't help but hold her breath.

Its round, bulging eyes were wide open.

So cute~

"Remember this, I only changed my mind because I was annoyed by your crying."

"That's true! But now that I've thought about it, killing those people directly would be too easy on them."

"I want them to be crying and begging for our lives, begging and apologizing! 'I was wrong,' 'We were so blind,' 'Wow, Anna is so strong,' and so on..."

Herrscher Anna, like a queen, brooked no refusal: "Even if you're a salted fish, you'd better get up and stand up! Do you hear me?!"

"I...I've tried my best..." Anna said, looking aggrieved.

"What's the point of trying? Are you even trying on the right person?"

Herald Anna said resentfully, "Forget all that nonsense about cooking, gaming, chess, and flower arranging! You better improve your skills first!"

"No, don't swear..." Anna said weakly.

"Anyway!"

Herald Anna spoke up, "You better do your best! I've completely betrayed you for your sake, so if you don't step up, you'll really have let me down!"

she says.

"From now on, I will be watching you! Watching you intently."

"Don't cry! You're not allowed to cry. You're not allowed to feel wronged. Be strong!"

Anna opened her mouth, her mind a complete mess.

She didn't know how things had suddenly turned out this way.

But... it seems like a good thing?

Even though there is someone constantly watching you in your mind, or even another version of yourself.

Something feels off. In fact, it might even be a sign of schizophrenia.

but!

She had originally prepared to perish together with the Herrscher.

It seems pretty good as it is now, doesn't it?

Looking at Anna, the Herrscher who stood before her like a powerful queen, so cool, Anna couldn't help but feel a little admiring.
