Miss Surtr will ignite the world

"Unfamiliar ceiling."

As I got up from the chair, a completely unfamiliar scene came into view.

The coffee table, television, and sofa made it look like the living room of an apartment, but she had no recollection of how she got there.

I reached out and covered my still slightly dizzy head.

My last memory is of a classroom at Chiba Academy.

Those people had done unforgivable things to her. Long-suppressed emotions erupted in an instant, negative feelings filling her heart. And then... crimson lightning, a white-haired and a red-haired girl, and that flamboyant, malevolent self.

Ugh

A painful whimper escaped her throat, and a throbbing pain shot through her head, as if her instincts were trying to prevent her from thinking about what was to come.

Just then, a familiar voice came from beside him.

"Oh, it seems Mei has woken up too."

Looking up in the direction of the sound, I saw a white head rapidly approaching.

"Mei's awake. How are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want some water? Hey, Surtr, Mei seems to be in a lot of pain. Is something wrong with her?"

Kiana squatted down beside the sofa, her words of concern coming out in rapid succession.

"Quiet down! Can't you see Mei is scared?"

Surtr pressed down on the head of the white dog, who seemed to have taken too many stimulants. Why was this guy always making such a racket?

Looking at Mei, she asked.

"How are you feeling? I hope there's nothing wrong with your health."

"It's alright, I'm just a little dizzy. Where am I? And who is this?"

Mei shook her head, temporarily putting the strange images in her mind aside, and looked at the tall man walking behind her.

The other person has the same white hair and blue eyes as Kiana, so they are probably a family member of hers.

"Let me introduce you to Mei."

Kiana, having escaped Surtr's clutches, excitedly introduced the two of them.

In her view, this meant they had directly reached the stage of meeting each other's parents.

“This is my father, Siegfried Kaslana.”

"This is Mei, my best friend."

Seemingly feeling that she couldn't show favoritism, Kiana glanced at Surtr and added another sentence.

"And Surtr, who is also my best friend."

"It would be best if there were two."

Surtr looked at the other person with amusement. Did this guy think I would feel unbalanced?

"If I say yes, then yes. You are all my wings."

Kiana, hands on her hips, spoke with a hint of personal matters in her words, wondering who had recently wished them happiness.

Compared to Kiana's excitement, Mei seemed much more dejected.

It wasn't because of Siegfried, of course; it was just that when she saw him, she couldn't help but think of her own father and wonder how he was doing now.

Looking at it this way, it does seem to be because of Siegfried.

Quickly composing herself, Mei stood up and politely greeted the other person.

"Hello, Uncle Siegfried."

Siegfried noticed the changes in the other person's emotions. Although the Kaslana family might be a bit lacking in logic, they were quite perceptive when it came to emotional matters.

Considering what Kiana had told her before, it wasn't hard to guess what the other person was thinking.

Raiden Ryoma has always said that he's a bad father, which is true, but you're no better than him.

He went to jail without even saying goodbye, leaving his daughter worried for nothing.

Damn, I feel like those two have something in common in subtle ways.

Siegfried suddenly felt a surge of unease.

The little girl looked quite pitiful, and he felt it was necessary to reveal some information to put her at ease.

The Third Honkai Impact: Chapter 15 - Kaslana is like this.

Miss Surtr was delighted.

She felt that Siegfried was truly her lucky charm. She had only received three missions since arriving in Honkai Impact 3, two of which were related to Siegfried. If you take into account his relationship with Anti-Entropy, all three missions actually required his help.

Seriously, is this person some kind of chosen one?

Well, judging from his resume, this guy really did live a life full of wish fulfillment in the first half of his life.

First, after running away from home, he found the Holy Maiden of Destiny. During their time together, they developed feelings for each other, but were forced to separate due to their different identities. Then, the young man worked hard to pursue his love, overcoming all obstacles to become the only S-rank male martial god of Destiny, inheriting his ancestral artifact, and successfully winning the heart of his beloved.

A standard template for a satisfying and enjoyable novel.

Of course, let's leave aside the fact that this guy later lost his wife, daughter, and arm. The fact that he took the initiative to explain things to Mei now certainly saved her a lot of talking.

Moreover, some of the things she said would be more convincing if an adult said them than she did.

"Don't be so formal. Your father and I are old acquaintances. As for Ryoma's situation, I don't think you need to worry too much. His partner will rescue him."

As he spoke, Siegfried wanted to raise his hand to pat the other person's head, but halfway up he seemed to feel that it was too informal, so he simply raised his hand and scratched his head instead.

?

As if she had heard some incredible information, Raiden Mei's eyes widened in surprise.

"...Is this true? Uncle Siegfried actually knows Father."

Not only was she surprised to hear news about her father, but she was also astonished that Kiana's father knew her father. Moreover, judging from what the other man had just said, they seemed to know each other quite well.

"Yeah, Dad, you actually know Mei's dad? How come I never knew!"

Kiana shouted loudly.

She and Mei had only just met, and she never expected that her father would have this kind of relationship. Was this fate?

"There are many things you don't know."

Siegfried patted Kiana's head as she nuzzled against him and continued speaking.

"I've known him for a long time because of some work-related reasons. Don't worry, his colleagues won't let anything happen to him. If I run into him again, I'll definitely have him call you to let you know I'm safe."

Perfect timing, I'll definitely have to give that old bastard a good dressing down then.

Siegfried thought to himself.

"Is that so? Thank you, Uncle Siegfried."

The news came so suddenly that Mei didn't even have time to react.

But she quickly came to her senses, and the weight that had been hanging over her heart finally lifted. Mei's face showed a relieved expression, and she solemnly bowed to Siegfried to express her gratitude.

Of course, it's also possible that the other party said that on purpose to comfort her, given how coincidental it was. But what if it was?

There always needs to be something to look forward to.

"It was just a small favor."

Siegfried waved his hand, but at the same time couldn't help but marvel at how the Thunder Dragon Horse had raised such a polite daughter.

Compared to Mei, my own is...

He tilted his head to look at Kiana, who was grinning foolishly. He hadn't noticed it before, but now, compared to her, he felt like his daughter was a silly deer.

"What's wrong, you old geezer? Why are you looking at me like that?"

The silly roe deer was puzzled.

"No, it's just that I realize you really are the real Kaslana."

Siegfried shook his head; that's just how the Kaslana are.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Kiana was puzzled, but soon realized something and felt a vague unease.

"Hey Dad, from what you just said, are you planning to leave again?"

She spoke directly.

Siegfried glanced at his daughter in surprise, not expecting her to be so perceptive.

He really didn't intend to stay long.

He is still a wanted criminal by Destiny, and Sirin's existence is a potential threat. He can't possibly keep her by his side.

As for entropy reversal.

He had considered it, but now that the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance was gone, the radical Cocolia was in power. She was the one who orchestrated the Raiden Ryoma case. With two Herrschers coming to his doorstep, who knew what she would do?

He didn't want Kiana to get involved in these things.

He still prefers the Far East Branch to anti-entropy.

Although it is an organization of Destiny, the Far East is actually located on the edge of Destiny's influence, with Anti-Entropy forces nearby. Otto needs time to do whatever he wants.

Moreover, the branch manager is Theresa, and the two have a long-standing friendship. Although that short guy doesn't seem very reliable, he is undoubtedly the most sentimental person, and he would never let Alto lay a hand on his student no matter what.

He had enough trust in the other party.

Finally, the two of them needed to learn how to master their powers, and nothing was more suitable for them than an academy.

Of course, these considerations do not include Surtr.

He didn't need to worry about the opponent's strength at all.

Looking at his daughter who looked like she was about to cry, Siegfried hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

"That's right, Kiana, I'll be leaving soon."

"Can't you take me with you?"

"Sorry, Dad's current identity makes it inconvenient for him to act with you. For the next period of time, you will be living with your aunt. She runs a school in the Far East, where you will learn how to fight the Honkai. To be honest, your Kaslana Gunfighting Technique is really too cringeworthy."

The somewhat somber atmosphere was abruptly shattered by Siegfried's last words. Kiana, who had been preparing her speech, was interrupted and glared fiercely at Siegfried.

"It's all because you, my stinky old man, only taught me those two moves. The rest I had to rely on feel. Humph, and even if it's my own style, with my genius-level comprehension, I've definitely already surpassed the original."

Kiana raised her head defiantly.

"So confident, wanna have a contest?"

"Come on then, let me show you what I'm capable of!"

"..."

The living room wasn't big, and the father and daughter's argument didn't escape the sight of other people.

Surtr listened to their conversation, sitting on the sofa, rubbing his chin.

I definitely plan to go to the school; there are several important people there I can contact.

But Miss Surtr did not want to be a student.

She had finally made it through high school in her past life, and she had no intention of going back.

Why don't you apply for a practical training job and teach the Valkyries how to shoot down hundreds of enemies?

Of course, that's assuming Theresa is willing to take her in, even though she's from an unknown background. But with Kiana and the others, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Mei stared blankly at the interaction between the two.

Because of her busy work schedule, she rarely sees her father, and even when they do meet, they don't have the same uninhibited conversations they do.

Perhaps her personality makes it difficult for her to express her thoughts as actively as Kiana.

But this way of getting along is quite enviable.

A hint of emotion flickered in her eyes, and at the same time, she noticed an unfamiliar word in their conversation.

“Surtr”.

She looked at her friend beside her.
