Chapter 67: "Slander Siegfried"

Today was a very rare day of peace, because they were all finally able to gather again in the real world together.

In St. Freya, in the recently built villa belonging to the Kaslana family residence, there was currently a small family feast being held in the courtyard, and many different kinds of dishes appeared on the table.

Even though this was a welcoming celebration party for all those who had been gone for a long time. The focal point of this party was still Cecilia.

After all, people who have died come back to life, very difficult for normal human common sense to accept.

"Cecilia, I've received the announcement from Schicksal. They said that for some reason Siegfried exiled you somewhere, and made them think you were dead."

"Is all that true Cecilia? So while you disappeared were you forced by the beast to make another child?!"

"Hey it's slander!"

Hearing Theresa's words, Siegfried, who was grilling some grilled meat in front of the kids, immediately shouted angrily.

Because Schicksal itself had spread about Cecilia's death, and made her an image of a hero in the second honkai war. Telling them that Cecilia had come back to life, may make many people would be very confused.

There is a logic problem here.

Plus the existence of Thea, and Aurora who have faces that are almost exactly the same as their daughter, Kiana. So Schicksal must inevitably modify the historical story a bit.

They need a scapegoat.

Then after a long discussion between Thea and Otto, Siegfried was chosen as their sacrifice.

However Siegfried's reputation was already on the underground. Pushing it down even more wouldn't be a serious problem right?

At most when Siegfried stepped foot in Schicksal's base, he would just be stared at by all the valkyries with gazes as if looking at a wild beast.

No one was hurt.

This is the perfect solution.

"I told you I didn't do any of that! It was all just scandal Otto make to me!" Siegfried was still shouting angrily.

"Then explain to me who are they!? Why did I see three Kianas there!"

Theresa also shouted angrily.

This beast can't be honest!

You should be ashamed to have kaslana in your name!

"Are they talking about us?" Thea asked curiously while biting into the roast.

Aurora clicked her tongue: "I don't care. Why do we have to go out in this hot weather? Humans really like to seek suffering. I'll go."

"Big sis, I just realized that the special potato chips you ordered last night have arrived! They are stored in the cabinet!"

"Why didn't you say it earlier this morning! Kiana, lead the way!"

Dashed past Aurora like a gust of wind. Aurora, who saw Kiana and Thea running into the house faster than herself, immediately crossed her arms dissatisfied.

"....Maybe I'll take some of my time to taste some human food."

Aurora's footsteps also walked a little faster.

In the yard....

Sirin who was wearing a straw hat, and sitting in the shade of the trees, looked at the three Kianas who had entered the house with envious looks.

If you could choose, who would want to sunbathe in the middle of a day like this?

Air conditioning in the house is better!

"Mama Cecilia I will go...."

Whispered in a very small voice, and slowly moved away from the three of them. Sirin, who had not maximized her hiding skill, was immediately found by Cecilia very clearly.

"Sirin..."

Hearing her name being called by Cecilia. Sirin who had walked five meters away from them, suddenly froze.

"...There's lemon juice in the fridge, if you want to drink, please leave some for your sisters too!"

Sirin turned around, and she smiled brightly under the warm sun:

"Okay, mama!"

Leaving a smile that made an impression on the hearts of many people. Sirin who got the implied command code, immediately ran into the house without caring about anyone!

AC, I coming!

"....Are they all really your daughters? I can accept that Thea and Aurora as your daughters, but, it's Sirin!"

"Isn't she the second Herrscher? Isn't she already dead? Why did she suddenly come back to life!?"

"I'm getting confused!"

Theresa had been wanting to ask this question since this morning.

When she saw Sirin who had followed Cecilia off the ship, she almost pulled out Judas spear, and threw her spear at Sirin reflexively.

Thankfully the sudden urge It disappeared very quickly.

Now, because she suddenly remembered once more again. Theresa directly asked this question to Cecilia.

"... She is an adopted child, with only her face, and her name alone is similar. But if Theresa-chan wants to know more, then you can find out later tonight."

Cecilia smiled with difficulty.

However, later she would explain her secret when Thea pulled Theresa's consciousness into her stigmata later that night.

The wind, and the walls around her always have extra ears and eyes.

Especially when it comes to discussing how she can come back to life.

If the secret that Thea can travel time is discovered, then Cecilia won't know what kind of dire consequences there will be.

In this world, many crazy people wished for the people they knew to come back to life.

This secret, must be kept silent.

"Rather than that, Theresa-chan, I want to talk to you."

"Could you accept all four of them into your school? At their ages, they should be receiving the proper education they deserve."

"What are you saying Cecilia! Of course it is!"

Theresa held her hand excitedly: "After all, this is a school made specifically for the realization of our dreams! How could I possibly refuse!"

Theresa suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, I was just thinking, Cecilia, do you want to be the principal?"

Cecilia tilted her head.

"Why bring this up all of a sudden? Is Theresa-chan currently busy with an important task?"

Theresa shook her head: "That's not what I meant... I... I just think, that you deserve to be the principal more than me."

"Look, the school has been made for many years. But nothing much has changed. I feel... I seem to have failed as Principal."

Theresa lowered her head sadly.

This wasn't the first time she had thought this way. To fail and rise again and again, this was enough to shake her will.

Maybe the thing that has supported her to keep getting up and never give up, maybe that was their promise.

Creating, made, and providing opportunities for valkyries to feel what it means to live.

Maybe it's just that promise that keeps her from falling from her current place.

Now, with the appearance of Cecilia, someone more fit to be principal than her. Theresa could breathe a sigh of relief for handing over this position to her.

"Theresa idiot."

"Muu?"

Found that her two cheeks were pinched by a pair of delicate hands. Theresa looked at Cecilia in confusion.

"I've seen the history of St. Freya before I came here. What lack of merit do you have to be a principal? Theresa, you are the most excellent principal!"

"From the group of children you brought from the tower of Babylon, to hundreds of students attending this school! Are you trying to deny yourself!?"

"No, that's not what I meant!"

Theresa panicked.

"This school was founded by you together with everyone. All the valkyries who graduated here are grateful to you for giving them good times in their childhood. Without you, St. Freya wouldn't be the St. Freya they know."

"So Teresa..."

"You are a really great principal! You are a hero!"

"Cecilia..."

Seeing Cecilia who was so proud of her. Theresa's heart, which was a little overcast, brightened, and she also smiled broadly.

"You're right, this school was founded by all of us. No matter who they are, St. Freya will always be a home for many people to return!"

"This is the school we all made! So that's why I'm going to keep looking after it!"

"Cecilia, thank you!"

Theresa held Cecilia's hand tightly.

She felt like she had returned to the past. Finally, after a long absence, her moonlight returned to shine brightly.

She was really happy.

"Hey midget, stay away from my wife. Aren't you two too close?"

"Siegfried get out of my face!!!"

Theresa shouted angrily.

Damn it! She had forgotten that her moonlight had been stolen by a beast!

Siegfried you bastard!
