Chapter 223: "Found Key of precious"

"Sister valkyrie, come on in!"

Opened the wooden door, and entered the old cabin that she was very familiar with. Without needing to wait for Kiana, K-423 immediately searched here and there throughout the room very carefully.

Kiana, who was late, entered the cabin, and she looked around her with nostalgia.

Ever since she graduated from school and became a Valkyrie, she had rarely entered this place.

Every day is training together with Bianka's older sister, or completing tasks to eradicate Honkai beasts together with the Immortal Blade squad. She really didn't have the free time and energy to keep coming to this place.

If think about it carefully, the previous her was quite busy.

Does sister Thea feel lonely?

"Have you found it?"

"Still not... It should be here..."

Seeing K-423 put her head into a drawer, and throw the objects inside everywhere, making her surroundings a mess. Kiana smiled helplessly.

"Something precious... If I had something like that, where do you think I would keep it?"

"I don't know, why are you asking me such a question? If I had known, I wouldn't have searched!"

K-423 looked at Kiana with a bad look.

Kiana also looked at K-423, who currently had a mouth like a hedgehog, with a bit of nostalgia.

They both looked at each other's eyes for a long time in silence. After the invisible battle controversy that lasted quite a long time, K-423 finally made her move.

She went into one of the rooms right next to her. Entering the room that had a "Thea" plaque hanging on the door, it didn't take long before a cheerful voice finally resounded throughout the room.

"Found it!"

Kiana breathed a sigh of relief.

Entered Thea's room, and saw K-423 sitting on the bed, busy with a book in her hand. Kiana sat next to her, and she peeked.

"Family album?"

She knows about this book. Even though it is said to be a family album, this book is clearly just a place to store memorable photos.

Most of the photos in the book were taken by Cecilia or Rita who have a penchant for photographing beautiful things.

Because they felt that this book was quite empty, she and her sister once tried adding some random photos, and this book was immediately forgotten to collect dust in the corner of the room.

The last time she saw this book taken out was when they had their birthday yesterday. Is this what is meant by [something precious?]

"Hey, why am I here?" K-423 asked in confusion.

Seeing what she was showing, Kiana saw a photo which was taken when they visited Homu Paradise two years ago.

"Don't you remember?"

"Not at all. It feels a bit foreign to me."

She lay down on her side and accidentally lay on Kiana's thigh. K-423 didn't care, and her gaze was very focused on the contents of the photo album book.

Kiana could see the envy in her eyes.

"How about we try to take photos too?"

"Huh, save your sympathy. I don't need it. We're not the family anyway."

Kiana's suggestion was immediately dismissed by K-423 very quickly.

Kiana could only click her tongue in annoyance. Her sister in hedgehog mode was really troublesome.

"Isn't it family? Look, it's me over here!" Kiana pointed to a photo of herself standing next to Thea.

K-423 looked at Kiana with a suspicious look.

"You look different..."

"About what?"

"You look more mature."

"Of course it's different, that's a photo when I was little. Now that I've grown taller, of course I'm different!"

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

K-423 was still turning over the album in her hand, and she raised the book in front of her face making Kiana not know what kind of expression she was making at the moment.

"....What made you change so much, Was growing up painful?"

"What do you mean?"

Waiting for an answer, but the little girl in her lap remained silent. Kiana could only take a deep breath.

"I don't know why you suddenly asked about this. These days everyone is busy under pressure. Enemies always appear one after another without giving us time to rest."

Kiana took a deep breath.

"But, even though everyone is busy, I am grateful to be among them. At least, I have told myself that I have done the best."

"Being an adult means doing things adults do. For example, when you were the one who always protected me."

"Now, I will protect you back."

Pushing aside the album book that was blocking her vision, K-423 could see Kiana smiling warmly at her.

Her smile was as bright as the sun, very confident, and had very strong determination.

Being stared at like that, she felt a bit uncomfortable.

"Why are you protecting me?"

"Didn't I say before we are one family? Does it need another reason?"

"But... I'm not her. I wouldn't even remember who you were if you didn't tell me. I don't feel like I deserve all your affection."

"It's oke to me..."

Kiana bent her body forward, and let her long hair flow like a waterfall.

"I love you, no matter which version you are."

Has fairly close facial contact, and a strand of hair that tickles her nose. K-423 raised the album in front of her face, to cover her slightly red cheeks, and she currently didn't know where to look.

Why does this valkyrie sister suddenly feel so handsome as soon as she says such shameless words?

With these skills she must have had many girlfriends!

Adults are really very dangerous!

"Family... Grow Up... Can protect..."

When she whispered, one of the photos in the album that was near her face glowed with a faint light. K-423, who saw this, immediately put the photo in her shirt pocket secretly.

"Okay, it's done!"

"Come on sis, let's find the second key!"

Surprised by K-423 who stood up suddenly. Kiana asked confusedly.

"Don't want to rest anymore?"

"No, let's look for the next key! The sooner the better!"

If she still stayed here, her bones would probably be eaten without a trace by this lolicon!

She doesn't want to end up here!

Not before the mission is complete!

"Okay, let's go. This time stay by my side. Don't wander anywhere."

"I'm not a kid!"

"Hehe~ I'm not sure about that, wanna hold hands?"

"Scram!"
