What?! You want me to be the Herrscher of the End?!

Then Durandal immediately understood and gave Bai Mo a grateful look.

You truly are my best friend! I knew I hadn't misjudged you! Xiaobai!

"Don't worry, I'll take care of picking up girls... and teaching Kiana how to be a good girl."

Suppressing her excitement, Durandal said very solemnly, almost as if she was about to swear an oath on the spot.

Aside from Kiana, who was hanging clothes on the balcony and didn't hear anything, the other two, including Himeko, were also very curious about Durandal's attitude.

For some reason, they felt that Durandal was being a little too enthusiastic about Kiana. From the moment she offered to help Kiana with her laundry until now, the two of them had only known each other for less than half a day.

She looked at Bai Mo with a questioning gaze, but Bai Mo just shrugged and smiled, showing no intention of explaining.

Since everyone would find out about the relationship between the two sooner or later anyway, it wouldn't make a difference if they found out a little later.

Chapter 417 Showdown with Himeko

"Is this really okay?"

Suddenly, Himeko asked.

"Just leave the training to Bianca. You just need to check the results and don't worry too much."

Seeing this, Bai Mo smiled and gestured for Ji Zi to relax.

Although Durandal's training methods may be a bit tiring, given the physical condition of the Kaslana family, it's only a matter of time before they pass.

"No, I meant Kiana's desire to acquire Herrscher powers."

However, Himeko shook her head and started talking about powers.

After all, Durandal is still an S-rank Valkyrie from headquarters. Knowing her well, coupled with her attitude towards Kiana and Bai Mo's guarantee, Himeko was naturally very reassured and even happy that Durandal could guide Kiana.

But this Herrscher power is different; she's genuinely worried that something might happen to Kiana.

Seeing the worried look on Himeko's face, Bai Mo patiently explained, "Regarding the Herrscher core in Kiana's body, it's a bit complicated, but you just need to know that this core won't cause Kiana any physical damage; in fact, it will only benefit her."

"So what exactly is wrong with Kiana's body? Including what happened to Sirin."

"Or are you planning to keep this from your older sister, Little Amo?"

Himeko feigned displeasure and frowned, trying to get something out of Bai Mo. After all, she had already realized that Bai Mo definitely had something important to say.

Despite the huge accident that happened to Kiana, Siegfried, her father, didn't seem surprised at all. Although he appeared very guilty and made amends to Kiana, Himeko still felt that something was wrong.

Furthermore, as a teacher, she didn't even know the most basic physical condition of her students, which made her feel that she had failed in her duty.

"Sister, how could I possibly want to hide it from you?"

Bai Mo smiled bitterly.

"So it's inconvenient? We can find a secluded place to talk."

Himeko seemed unusually patient, as if she intended not to let go until she got some information out of her.

Bai Mo seemed to have seen this as well. Knowing Ji Zi's personality well, she shook her head helplessly and finally compromised.

However, it wouldn't be accurate to call it a compromise, since she never intended to hide Kiana's identity in the first place; she was just telling Himeko a little earlier than planned.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Mo turned his head and looked towards the door, his meaning already self-evident.

Himeko understood immediately and nodded. The two of them then got up and walked towards the door.

"What's wrong, Amo? Are you going out?"

Inside the kitchen, Mei, who had just come out, saw the two about to leave and subconsciously asked a question.

"Ah, I'm going out for a bit with my sister, and we'll buy some ingredients so we can cook something delicious for everyone tonight!"

With his hand resting on the doorknob, Bai Mo responded with a smile, his response flawless.

"Well, be careful on the road!"

Upon hearing this, Mei nodded gently. Her apron-clad, waving greeting resembled that of a virtuous wife waiting for her husband to come home.

She has too much of a wifely vibe!

"Remember to come back soon!"

Then Bronya's voice came from inside the kitchen; she called out through the window.

"Know it!"

Bai Mo's voice echoed in the courtyard, and he and Ji Zi gradually walked away to a relatively quiet corner.

Of course, to guard against any outside interference, Bai Mo also isolated the surrounding space, concealing the two figures and blocking out their sounds.

"How convenient, the methods of a Herrscher."

"No matter how many times I watch it, I still feel that the power of the Herrscher is too outrageous," Himeko sighed deeply.

At the same time, because of Bai Mo's caution, she became increasingly curious about what secrets Kiana was hiding.

"Sister, please stop teasing me. What do you mean by Herrscher? By the way, didn't you want to ask about Kiana? Don't worry, whatever you want to know, I will definitely not hide anything from you."

Bai Mo waved his hand with a wry smile, then steered the conversation back on track.

"What exactly is the relationship between Sirin, who calls herself the Second Herrscher, and Kiana? And wasn't Kiana already dead in the Second Honkai Impact?"

Seeing this, Himeko didn't waste any more words and immediately asked questions, her expression very serious.

"The Second Herrscher, Sirin, she did indeed die in the Second Honkai..."

"Why then?"

However, before Bai Mo could finish speaking, Ji Zi couldn't help but ask first.

If Sirin is already dead, then why is she still appearing in Kiana's body? Isn't that a contradiction?

However, Bai Mo calmly pressed his hand down, indicating to Ji Zi not to rush and to continue listening to her.

“I understand your question, sister, but have you ever considered that the Sirin inside Kiana’s body, in essence, can’t really be considered Sirin?”

"So here I'll answer your first question, which is about the relationship between 'Sirin' and Kiana. In many ways, they could be considered sisters."

"So Bai Mo, you mean this Sirin is a fake? And she and Kiana are sisters?!"

Upon hearing Bai Mo's words, Ji Zi felt her brain buzzing.

Even novels wouldn't dare write something like this! What a melodramatic plot! And these two looked like they were about to fight and kill each other from the moment they met, how could they be considered sisters?

Shaking her head with a headache, Himeko decided to continue listening.

"Yes, but to explain this, we need to talk about Kiana's true background..."

In the end, she still had to explain the problem again. Bai Mo shook her head helplessly, and then, under Ji Zi's extremely shocked expression, she repeated what she had said to ME Company.

Kiana is proof of Sirin's good side, while 'Sirin' is actually also Kiana, but because she has too much malice in her, she behaves more like Sirin.

One is before the legalization, and the other is after the legalization. The difference between the two can also be expressed in this way.

To help Himeko understand this matter, Bai Mo explained it in great detail.

After learning the truth, Himeko felt a mix of emotions and scolded Otto from beginning to end, which was a way of venting Kiana's anger, although it was nothing serious.

At the same time, she gradually gained a new understanding of 'Sirin,' the being who carried most of the malice of the Second Herrscher.

More than ten minutes passed before Himeko calmed down and turned to Bai Mo to ask, "So, what is the true identity of the other Kiana?"

No matter how Kiana's background changes, Himeko will never refer to Kiana as K423. After all, in her eyes, Kiana will always be just Kiana, and will always be her student.

So when she asked this question out of curiosity, she only used the phrase "another Kiana" instead of something like "the real Kiana".

“It’s Bianca. I helped her regain her memories, and she has now reunited with Mr. Siegfried. So now, you should understand why Bianca was so concerned about Kiana just now.”

At this point, Bai Mo winked and said in a very playful manner.

Chapter 418 The Unknown Past

"Is that so..."

Upon hearing this, Himeko nodded. At first, she felt that something was off about Durandal, but now she thought it made perfect sense.

As an older sister, it's perfectly normal to want to help your younger sister share some of the burden and, incidentally, foster a stronger sisterly bond.

"Speaking of which, Theresa shouldn't know about this, right?"

"I don't know yet, but I'll tell you in a few days, and I'll also help restore Kiana's memories."

After all, all the hidden dangers are gone now, and with everyone by Kiana's side, regaining her memories has become much easier.

"..."

Himeko didn't speak, but nodded silently, which was considered as acquiescing to Bai Mo's actions.

Some things can't be hidden forever, because that would only make things worse, so it's better to bring them up sooner rather than later.

Moreover, now that Siegfried and Bai Mo have returned to Kiana's side, Himeko is not worried about any changes in Kiana's mentality.

After all, Durandal's attitude proves that she approves of Kiana and has no resentment or blame towards her.

"But what do you plan to do about Sirin, Amo? Will you let her stay at St. Freya Academy?"

After much thought, Himeko asked another question that she cared about: the existence of Sirin, the other consciousness within Kiana.

“Cilin, without her powers, she’s just a brat at best. You and Theresa will have to discipline her more.”

Bai Mo meant that he wanted Xilin to stay at St. Freya Academy, and Ji Zi understood and nodded.

"Besides, she's not the real Sirin; she just inherited a portion of the Herrscher's malice towards humanity. With proper guidance, she can be brought back on the right track."

"And regarding Sirin, I'm talking about the real Second Herrscher, of course. I have another secret to share, sister. Would you like to hear it?"

After saying that, Bai Mo smiled mysteriously.

"Well, so you dare to make fun of your older sister after all this time? Tell me!"

Seeing this, Ji Zi pretended to be angry and rolled her eyes at Bai Mo.

"Actually, back during the Second Honkai Impact, when Sirin was fighting Cecilia, she used Feather of Dust to pull her into an illusion for some reason. And in that illusion, do you think those two did something?"

"What else can we do? It's just a different battlefield, and we'll keep fighting."

Himeko spoke without hesitation, because she didn't believe that the real Second Herrscher would be so kind as to pull her enemy into the illusion and then show mercy. It might be more likely if the roles were reversed.
