No one would have ever expected that on a happy day like this, such a tough decision would be made.
Thea and Aurora are going to Schicksal to become valkyries. Leaving Sirin and Kiana here to study more.
"Sirin, I'm sorry for bothering you all this time."
"Eh, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly apologizing?" Sirin raised her eyebrows in confusion.
Suddenly felt something strange change from her body. Sirin notices that the remaining stigmata Herrscher of Death's in her body, are starting to mutate into the stigmata she is familiar with.
"This...?"
Thea explained: "In the beginning I didn't want to give you the stigmata Herrscher of Void for fear of you losing control, and also because of my own stubbornness. Now, since the two of us are leaving, there's no one to look after Kiana at this time. So please, as her sister please take care of Kiana for us."
Felt weird with Thea who suddenly became very tolerant with her. Sirin asked once again suspiciously:
"Do you forgive me?"
"No, don't think too greedily."
Well, she was still the Thea she knew.
Sirin heaved a sigh of relief without knowing why.
"Fine, I'll accept it. After all, I'm her big sister too. You all can trust me."

In the infinite corridor...
In infinite space, without end, and infinity loop....
Kiana who had been running for hours, and looking everywhere for clues. Currently holding her head dizzy.
"Where is the exit!?!"
Kiana really couldn't understand.
This place is very strange. No matter how much she ran, she somehow always felt that she was still walking in the same place.
She moved, and didn't move at the same time. This subverted her logic of common sense.
Kiana became very stressed.
"{Look at yourself, you don't even know what kind of cage you're trapped in. Tell me, is science not important now?}"
"Aurora! Don't just be good at hiding! If you can, fight me one on one honestly!"
"{Hum! Talking to a stubborn girl like you sure gives people a headache. Never mind, I'm already bored.}"
"{We're all finished talking, and it's time to go to bed. You can now go out.}"
"Again!?!"
Suddenly saw an extremely wide portal appear under her feet. Kiana suppressed her instinct to jump, and she finally entered the portal, and landed directly on her own bed.
Coming back from the boundless corridor, Kiana was currently standing on her bed in a daze.
"{Don't sleep too late. As a student who needs to get up early, you should go to bed early so you don't get sleepy at school.}"
"Hey! You're mocking me on purpose!"
Shouted, replying to the sarcastic taunt from Aurora. Kiana gritted her teeth, and she immediately walked out of her room.
"...Where everyone?"
Unlike a few hours ago where the living room was still crowded. The lights in the room dimmed, and the air grew colder and colder.
Looking at the clock on the wall, it was already 11 pm.
Everyone must be asleep by now.
"Ah.... Why do they always keep things secret from me. Why can't I know?"
"Why can't I go with them?"
As a human being who is a group creature. Being together with Thea and Kiana is commonplace.
Just like a pair of very close twins thought that the two of them would be inseparable.
She just didn't expect, that this bond that she thought would be inseparable would be so easily torn apart by the other party without feeling any pain.
Kiana is currently experiencing feelings that have been felt by all young people around the world.
[Abandoned].
It was painful, because she didn't understand why she herself had to be left behind.
Painful in confusion.
In the end, it still hurts.
"Sister Thea..."
"Kiana, you still haven't slept? It's almost midnight. Don't tell me that you're getting hungry again. Mama will be furious."
Entered the stigmata room, and managed to find Thea who was currently sitting alone casually on the sofa watching television. Kiana walked up to one figure in the room, and she hugged her tightly.
"Sister... Don't leave me... I'm scare..."
Thea: "...."
Freeze for a moment, and somehow feel very familiar with these words. Thea stroked Kiana's hair slowly, and she smiled gently.
"What do you need to be afraid of? Kiana is now a big girl. You have many friends, and also many people who will protect you. You are not alone anymore. So, what do you need to worry about?"
Tried to get on the sofa, and immediately lay down, resting her head on Thea's thigh. Kiana shifted her head to the side, and she stared at her sister face with watery eyes.
"I am scare of losing you..."
Kiana said what she was worried about all this time. She really didn't want to part with Thea even though it would only take her a few days.
To her, this big sister was a very reliable person.
Thea who heard this, immediately became silent: "Silly Tuna... If someone else suddenly heard your words, they might think that I will die soon. Why are you saying such ambiguous words?"
"Then why did you leave me alone here? Why can Aurora go while I can't?"
"Well, that's a different matter again Kiana. You know that the battlefield between the Valkyrie and the honkai is very dangerous. We also went there not to play around."
"We all have our own goals that we want to achieve. You are different, you should enjoy your youth as much as possible before growing up."
Lowered her head, and saw Kiana still sulking, disagreeing with what she said. Thea could only sigh in resignation.
In order to deal with a spoiled creature like her little sister, she needed to use a special technique.
"How about this. You need to pass the test to become an A-rank valkyrie, and then you can go with big sister. When that time comes, and you want to go with us, then I won't stand in your way anymore."
"...Really? Was what you said really true? You weren't deceiving were you?"
Thea nodded her head: "I promise. When did I lie to you?"
Hearing this, Kiana puffed her cheeks: "You always lie to me. Sorry, your promise lacks credibility!"
"...."
Mutual silence, because they could not find a thread of agreement. Thea could only stroke Kiana's head gently as usual, and Kiana could only enjoy her sister's caresses silently.
They both fell into silence.
"If... If I become an A-rank Valkyrie, then may I come with you?"
"Hmm..." Thea nodded her head.
"Okay, I'll trust you this time. Only this time. Don't throw away my trust for nothing."
Thea laughed: "Thank you, Kiana. I will protect your trust as best I can."
"Hum! You didn't even say to guard it with all your heart! You are such a big liar!"
"Liar! Liar! Liar!"
Make a joke for a while, and make the atmosphere look cheerful again. Sleepy Kiana, buried her face in Thea's stomach languidly.
"Sister... Let's sleep together..."
"Okay."
"I mean in the real world too..."
"You're really so spoiled Kiana."
"Hehehe..."
Hugging Thea's waist tightly. Tonight Kiana decided never to let her go even if she went to sleep tight.
For tonight...
Thea is hers!
