Chapter 247: Ji Zi's Choice

The battleship returned safely to St. Freya Academy.

At the logistics area, a group of people curiously looked at the additional battleship.

It was a model they had never seen before, and this battleship was not even recorded in the database of Schicksal.

Of course, not everyone was curious; some people already knew.

Since the battleship had been brought back, it was definitely their responsibility to maintain it.

But besides complaining that their work had increased, they had no other choice.

After all, Saint Freya could be said to be their home.

Once the battleship landed safely on the ground, Elysia’s mission was complete.

On the way home, Kiana enthusiastically recounted her heroic deeds to them.

Upon arriving home, “Alright, Kiana, go play in the living room for a while. I’ll make you a big meal tonight.” Mei patted Kiana’s head and then walked directly to the kitchen.

“Eh? A big meal! Mei is the best!” Kiana shouted happily, then pulled Bronya towards the living room.

As soon as she entered the living room, Kiana found a game console and wanted to play games with Bronya.

She didn’t know why Bronya was unhappy, but Kiana thought that if they played games, Bronya would probably cheer up.

Taking out a can of beer, Himeko also walked into the living room, sat next to Elysia, and asked, “Elysia, is the key mentioned in that email on the battleship the herrscher gem?”

“Sister Himeko already guessed it?” Elysia took off her headpiece.

“After all, the email was so clear. Four keys, isn’t it talking about the Herrscher’s abilities?” Himeko took a sip of beer, then looked at the gem. “Which gem is this one?”

“This one in my hand is the gem of Serenity, I told Sister Himeko about it.”

“Kiana can also use this gem, right?” Himeko quietly asked, looking at Kiana who was playing games on the floor.

“Mm.” Elysia nodded.

“Sigh, so that means Mei has the gem of Conquest?” Himeko looked towards the kitchen.

“I remember these four gems were taken from the Herrscher of the Void, so why are they related to Kiana?” Himeko looked at Elysia, wanting to get an answer from her.

“Sister Himeko, Kiana’s identity is still very complex. All we can do is protect them, isn’t that right?” Elysia thought for a moment after speaking.

“Sister Himeko, come to my room for a moment.” Elysia quietly said to Himeko, then stood up and walked upstairs.

Hearing Elysia’s words, Himeko finished the beer in her hand in one gulp, threw away the can, and followed her.

Kiana, who was playing the game, just gave them a strange glance and then ignored them, because if she got distracted again, Bronya would defeat her in the game.

After arriving in her room, Elysia opened her computer.

“Sister Himeko, Kiana’s identity is very complex.” Elysia opened a file and let Himeko read it herself.

Looking at the K423 serial number displayed on it, Himeko frowned and finished reading the entire file.

“Elysia, is this file real?” Himeko asked with a hint of sadness.

“Mm, it’s real.” Elysia said, sitting on the bed.

“Sigh, why is it Kiana…” Himeko said dejectedly.

This file about Kiana explained Kiana’s identity, and it contained Kiana’s movements.

This indicated that Kiana had always been under Schicksal’s surveillance.

After all, Kiana was the most important experimental subject of that Bishop.

Himeko smiled bitterly at one of the pieces of information above.

In the winter of 2010, the Valkyrie Charge Squad found Siegfried and K423’s hideout. During the confrontation with Siegfried, K423 unexpectedly awakened her Herrscher of the Void persona. All members of the Valkyrie Charge Squad died, and Siegfried disappeared after defeating K423 using the Judgment of Shamash.

“Elysia, Kiana, is she the Herrscher of the Void?” Himeko asked this question with an emotion she couldn’t quite place.

“Sister Himeko, what do you think?” Elysia countered.

“I… I don’t know.” Himeko sighed.

She had always wanted to avenge her captain, but now she was told that her enemy was her own student.

“What are you thinking, Sister Himeko? You can tell me, it’s just me here.”

“I… Kiana is my student. I can never reconcile my image of the Herrscher of the Void with her.” Himeko slumped in the chair.

“I always thought the Herrscher of the Void was an unforgivable enemy, but Kiana’s appearance completely prevents me from combining these two images. Kiana is a very well-behaved child.” Himeko said, clenching her fists.

“Elysia, why are you telling me this now?” Himeko looked up at Elysia.

“Sister Himeko, it’s just to prepare you. I believe you definitely won’t mind Kiana’s identity, and besides, even if I don’t tell you, you’ll find out yourself in a while.”

“Although I had a guess when I saw that email, when the truth is right in front of me, I still don’t want to admit it.” Himeko sighed. “Who else knows about this information?”

Looking at Himeko, who had suddenly become serious, “It seems Sister Himeko has thought it through.”

“I see you’ve got my personality pegged.” Himeko rolled her eyes at Elysia.

“Hehe, anyway, Sister Himeko won’t mind. Kiana’s identity, among us, only I, you, and Fu Hua know.”

“Theresa doesn’t know?” Himeko asked in surprise.

“If Theresa knew, she might directly cut ties with Bishop Otto.”

“Sigh, alright, I guess you’ve dragged me onto this pirate ship. I’d rather not know anything.” Himeko sighed and then stood up.

“Regarding Kiana’s identity, we shouldn’t spread it. Let Kiana find out herself.”

“However, regarding my teacher, I believe my teacher wouldn’t have lost so easily to a child like Kiana. There must have been other factors at play back then.”

“Although I don’t know why the person behind the scenes sent the Moonlight Throne over and specifically left that document.”

“Since they want to harm my student, I haven’t reached the point where I can’t pick up my weapon.” Himeko said, then walked out the door.

After Himeko left, Fu Hua jumped in through the window.

“Fu Hua, even if you just walked through the door normally, Sister Himeko wouldn’t have cared.” Elysia lay down directly, looking at Fu Hua by the window and said.

“You already knew about Kiana’s identity and the mission Otto gave me, didn’t you?” Fu Hua asked directly.

“Fu Hua, I’m not stupid. Every time you transmit messages to Otto, it’s so obvious. It would be wrong if I didn’t notice, wouldn’t it?”

“Besides, the messages you give Otto are never complete, are they? Don’t you also want to protect them very much?” Elysia looked at Fu Hua with a look of disdain.

“This proves that we have to contend with Otto.” Fu Hua sighed softly.

“Relax, Fu Hua, don’t forget, Erosion’s authority is with me, and I also have the authority of death. If it really comes to a fight, Otto wouldn’t dare appear before me.” Elysia said in an indifferent tone.

“It’s still better to be careful.” After Fu Hua finished speaking, she jumped out of the window.

After no one else was in the room, Elysia breathed a sigh of relief.

This way, there shouldn’t be any problems, right?

If there were truly problems, it would be Kiana’s own side.

Fighting for a better tomorrow.

Hope we can all live until the end of the Honkai.

Elysia thought this way. She, this butterfly, had flapped her wings since her existence began. What would the future days be like?
