Honkai Impact 3rd, I started as Spain's daughter?

Am I...afraid that she'll be taken away from me?

She suddenly realized that it seemed that Lin Li wasn't the only one affected.

Chapter Four: Mom? Seele!

"Send a small team to continue the investigation. I'll take her back to the academy first."

Although she was fairly certain that Lin Li was the person she was looking for, Theresa still conservatively chose to have the investigation continue.

"The Stigmata Awakener was threatened and forcibly activated the Stigmata's power..."

Theresa thought to herself.

She felt no sympathy whatsoever for the two men who carried a full set of tools for committing the crime.

Especially in cases of child trafficking, if two malicious individuals are facing a little girl and are killed in self-defense, who can they blame?

If the Stigmata were not activated, it's uncertain who the victim would be.

Regardless of the judgment, Lin Li's actions constitute legitimate self-defense.

"A natural-born Stigmata Awakener; if she weren't one of my grandfather's people, she would have been an excellent Valkyrie..."

In reality, apart from Kaslana and the Shaniat family, there are no other Valkyries in Schicksal who possess natural Stigmata; the vast majority of the other Valkyries have had artificial Stigmata implanted.

Natural stigmata offer a significant advantage over artificially implanted stigmata, as they are less affected by Honkai erosion and can better unleash their power.

"It's just that the child is too young..."

Theresa glanced at the cute, quiet, and well-behaved girl and nodded gently.

It's indeed not suitable for a girl to receive Valkyrie training at the age of ten or so; she should at least wait until she's fourteen or fifteen, the age of Kiana and the others.

"It's weird."

The moment Theresa took her hand, she felt her hormone levels rise, and she always liked to glance at her out of the corner of her eye.

"uh-huh..."

Lin Li didn't notice Theresa's change in expression. She hummed a happy little tune, looking forward to their next meeting.

......

St. Freya College

"That idiot Kiana fell asleep in class again."

Bronya, who was pretending to listen attentively in class, watched as Himeko accurately hit the white-haired girl on the forehead with a piece of chalk and thought to herself, "What do you mean?"

She finished learning the textbook content in a few days, and spent the rest of her time either slacking off or playing games, which was rather boring.

"Headmistress Theresa."

Theresa suddenly appeared at the classroom window. Bronya was a little curious, but then she was stunned.

Because following Theresa was a girl with short, shoulder-length black hair that had a bluish tinge.

“Seele…”

The moment Bronya saw her back, an overwhelming surge of emotion welled up within her, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably.

"Wait, how did Seele end up here..."

Bronya's silver-grey eyes flickered slightly as she suppressed the urge to go to Theresa's office, constantly reassuring herself.

"So sad."

The already somewhat boring class became even more tedious in Bronya's eyes, and the remaining twenty minutes felt like an eternity.

.......

"Would you like something to drink? I have bitter melon juice here..."

Theresa led Lin Li to the office and asked her questions.

"No need... I'm not very thirsty."

Even Lin Li couldn't help but shrink back when she heard about bitter melon juice.

"Alright then, let me pour you a glass of water."

Theresa nodded and then handed her the water glass.

"By the way, I heard people on the street say that Lin Li, you've been wandering around the streets. Are you looking for something? Where are your parents?"

Judging from her name, she seems to be from China, but her appearance doesn't quite match.

"I...I want to find my mother."

After thinking about it, Lin Li decided to tell the truth.

"Looking for your mother? Can you tell me your parents' information? I can help you contact them."

Theresa said that judging from Lin Li's appearance, such a beautiful and delicate little girl could not possibly be left uncared for. Even if she were placed in an orphanage, she would definitely be pampered. It would be impossible to let her wander outside.

"I don't have a father."

Lin Li gently shook her head.

"Hmm... this..."

Theresa suddenly felt a little guilty.

"And what about your mother? Where is she now? In China?"

"I don't know. I only know that my mother should come to St. Freya Academy."

Lin Li shook her head.

All she knew was that Bronya would come to St. Freya Academy, but she didn't know if she was there at the moment.

"She's a Valkyrie too?"

Theresa was somewhat surprised.

No wonder Lin Li has holy marks on her body; it turns out her mother was also a Valkyrie.

"What's her name? I'll help you contact her."

Theresa began to recall which familiar Valkyries she remembered had reached this age.

"Bronya Zajcek."

"It was Bronya..."

Theresa nodded in realization, but then she was stunned.

"Bronya?"

"I think Bronya should be fourteen years old this year..."

Theresa murmured to herself, then looked at Lin Li with some fear.

Before, she only felt that Lin Li's eyes were somewhat familiar, but now it seems that they are the same as Bronya's eyes.

If Lin Li is currently ten years old, then Bronya is currently fourteen years old...

"hiss."

Theresa gasped.

"what happened?"

Lin Li looked at Theresa with a puzzled expression.

"It's alright, wait a moment, I'll take you to her."

Theresa pulled up Bronya's file and compared it.

Aside from the eyes, there are virtually no other similarities, but the eyes are truly identical.

While Theresa doesn't seem to mind her students' pasts too much, isn't Bronya's experience a bit too legendary...?

Theresa felt that Lin Li's father could probably skip the trial stage and be executed directly without any problem.

"Perfect timing, get out of class is over. I'll go call her. Lin Li, you wait here for a bit."

Theresa glanced at the time; the morning classes had already ended.

"Ok."

Lin Li sat obediently on the sofa and nodded.

"How are you? Are you excited? You're about to see your mom!"

"Lin Li" said casually, sitting on the side of the sofa.

"You should know that it's impossible for two little devils to have you."

"But I am indeed my mother's child."

Lin Li said earnestly.

"..."

"Nasty guy."

Lin Li's resentment towards Bronya grew stronger.

"Auntie! I've come to see you..."

Before Theresa could return, the white-haired, blue-eyed girl pushed open the door and walked in.

"Whose child is this? So cute!"

The moment Kiana saw Lin Li on the sofa, she was instantly smitten.

"Very good, he's the one I, Kiana, have my eye on!"

Before Lin Li could react, Kiana came over and picked her up.
