Chapter 43: "Siegfried confused"

"Hngh... Why are you here?"

Happiness is always very short lived.

Even though K-423 knows that Cecilia will bring Sirin, their enemy, into the house, and think of her as their own daughter. She somehow still felt very dissatisfied.

Perhaps, from the bottom of her heart, she really didn't want moments like this to end like this.

Even though she knew that it was impossible.

But, isn't it okay to dream a little, right?

"Forget it, don't interfere with the main plot because of personal matters. This is enough."

Seeing Sirin enter her room which was created using Fenghuang Down's fur, and Cecilia also entered there to accompany her. A hint of envy flashed across K-423's eyes, but quickly disappeared.

She shook her head.

This is enough.

Don't ask for more.

K-423 also goes into her room to go to sleep.

The next day...

Get up early in the morning, and make a breakfast menu of beacon beef sandwiches while humming a song happily. Cecilia made four plates, and she carried two of them in her hands.

"Wake up my princess, it's time for breakfast!"

Opened the door to Kiana's room excitedly. Cecilia who saw the empty bed, without anyone's presence. Immediately made a confused expression on the spot.

"My princess?"

Checking the empty bed, and noticed that there was indeed no one else present in the room. Cecilia sighed lightly.

She smiled a little.

"It's a pity that last night we still couldn't come up with a name you could accept."

"I don't know what name you think would suit you. But, if there is another chance, let's spend some time together again."

"Next meeting, I will definitely come up with a suitable name for you!"

"By the way, I'll leave this sandwich on the table. Don't be late for breakfast my princess~"

Gently closing the door to her daughter's room. Footsteps could be heard getting farther away, and K-423, who had been hiding all this time, took a sandwich on the table calmly.

"Happy to have a mother like her."

K-423 eats the sandwich in her hand.

She knew that Cecilia had already noticed that something was wrong with her at the moment she entered Fenghuang Down's feather illusion. She, wasn't her biological daughter at all.

But, even so, Cecilia never hesitated to address her as her own daughter even though she had no idea what kind of creature was stealing her real daughter's identity.

K-423 now understands why Sirin misses her so much, and calls her 'mama'.

She also wanted to call her by that name.

But...

"Sigh, There are still a few more days before Sirin wakes up from the illusion she created due to the anti-addiction system warning. Tch, when will Bella die and wake Sirin from this illusion as soon as possible?"

"Besides, mixing true stigmata from 6 different herrscher cores and merging into one is really very difficult to digest. It will take me at least 6 months if I'm optimistic enough. Having something you can grab but can't touch really piss me off."

When she assimilated Herrscher of Void's True stigmata, it took about 15 days for her stigmata, and Herrscher's stigmata to perfectly integrate. With a mixture of 6 different stigmata in one body, K-423 became very hesitant.

Even if she is given two years to assimilate these stigmata, K-423 still doubts whether or not she can actually assimilate them.

The difference is almost the same as understanding the blueprint design of an ordinary person's house, with the blueprint design of a five-star skyscraper.

Both are a type of building made on the ground, but they are also very different in terms of the level of structure and technical difficulty.

"If I'm not mistaken Siegfried gave me a DS4 as a birthday gift. I just happen to be bored right now, I wonder what kind of game the fur of Fenghuang Down will come up with for me."

"Oh, maybe it's the game from the memory fragments of an adult I have in my mind? Then this would be really interesting!"

K-423's eyes lit up with light.

Remembering all the epic games that came to her mind. K-423 gets very excited, and she immediately fires up the DS4 without hesitation.

It's NEET time!

Several days have passed...

As if forgetting the existence of their own daughter, namely Kiana. Both Cecilia and Siegfried still maintained their usual activities, and still didn't feel anything was wrong.

They all still follow the direction of the main plot.

Sirin became their daughter, and Cecilia who already knew that all of this was just an illusion created by the feather of Fenghuang Down, still tried to console Sirin, comforting her lonely soul.

K-423 only saw all this from the side.

There were no special incidents, so she wouldn't make a move. Everything is still running very normally.

"Phew... This game is super really hard to make, but I'm still cruising along."

Siegfried raised his hand, and he stretched the muscles of his body that were stiff from sitting too long at the office desk.

Takes his jacket, and left the company. Siegfried, who was busy as a programmer, just realized that it was already night.

He suddenly thought of his daughter, Sirin, who was at home.

"I don't know why, but Sirin still looks very sad and lonely. Cecilia said she would take care of her for a while."

"I guess this happens when you mix puberty with boarding school and living away from home. Thanks to Cecilia for take care about her."

Walked in the crowd, and saw the supermarket next door. An idea suddenly flashed through Siegfried's mind.

"Hmm, maybe I should get something nice for that girl."

Siegfried enters there.

Enter the supermarket, and see the milk chocolate that has a wrapper with the robot ninja Arahato. Siegfried smiled.

"I have a feeling that the girl will love this."

A voice appeared beside Siegfried: "Indeed, it's the most best selling chocolate on the market."

Surprised, found someone talking to him. Siegfried smiled back.

"Whoa, am I talking to a fellow Arahato fanboy? You have good eyes!"

Because only fellow Arahato ninja fans know how good this chocolate is.

That's why Siegfried felt so happy.

"Wait a minute..." Siegfried sensed something was wrong: "...I don't know who you are, sir. But somehow I feel we've met before."

Sighed, and noticed that Siegfried didn't recognize him at all. Welt Yang fixed his glasses, and he instantly distorted the illusion in the area of ​​the environment around them.

"What!?"

Seeing the Arahato chocolate in his hand slowly disappearing like game data being deleted. Siegfried opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Siegfried, you seem to be enjoying your dream life. It feels good, but is it real?"

"How do you know my name!?"

Welt Yang ignored Siegfried's surprise.

"The truth may be more terrible than you imagine. Open your eyes to witness reality."

Looking at Welt Yang who seemed like he was about to disappear. Siegfried hastily shouted.

"Wait! At least tell me who you are!!!"

"Argh..."

With the disappearance of the distortion effect, and the return of vision as before. Siegfried who was leaning against the supermarket shelf, was panting frantically.

"No... this can't be just a dream... I.. I'm seeing things."

"I gotta ease off the crazy overtime..."

Siegfried became very confused.

What the hell was that?

This world is just an illusion?

What kind of nonsense is that!
