A chat group where you switch bodies with Alicia at the start?

"I find it hard to understand, after all, I am not the original owner of this body."

"However, I can indeed feel the surge of hot blood in my veins—it reminds me of her deceased loved ones."

Gently touching her chest, the white-haired girl felt the softness of her youthful body, without revealing much of her expression, only a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Such an action naturally caused Siegfried's lips to twitch slightly. He remembered that Kiana's inner self was that boy. Wasn't this the same as this brat touching his own daughter?

“Are you bothered by it? Yes... But in my opinion, it’s just a body. As the user of this body, I am who I am. It’s like touching my own limbs. There’s nothing strange about it.”

With Kiana's keen senses, she could naturally detect the former's unusual behavior. She slowly lowered her hand, her tone somewhat nonchalant.

Just like using Alicia's body, although it may be novel at first, you'll get used to it and realize it's just like that.

Of course, playing different roles is indeed very interesting.

This way of thinking is obviously difficult for the elderly father to understand.

However, he also had more pressing concerns.

"If you and Kiana switch back, will she be able to suppress the Herrscher of the Void's consciousness just like you?"

Although he desperately hopes that his little cotton-padded jacket can turn back into his little cotton-padded jacket, he is very concerned about this issue when he recalls the side that Jiang Qiao has shown.

After all, the reason he had to separate from Kiana was because Kiana couldn't control that consciousness, and if they stayed together, she would become a bomb that could blow him to pieces at any moment.

Of course, Siegfried was not afraid of death. When he became a warrior and embarked on the fight against the Honkai, bearing the mission of protecting the people, he had long been mentally prepared to give his life.

But he didn't want to die at the hands of his daughter, or rather, he absolutely couldn't die at the hands of Kiana.

Otherwise, if Kiana were to find out one day that she had killed her own father, Siegfried couldn't imagine how desperate Kiana would feel at that time.

At the same time, the awakening of the Herrscher of the Void is by no means a good thing for the people of the region.

Therefore, he had to consider this issue from both his father's and Kaslana's perspectives.

If Jiang Qiao's answer is no, then the old father will have to painfully make the extremely unreasonable request: "Please never switch it back!"

Don't get me wrong, he absolutely, positively doesn't have a crush on the gentle and sweet Kiana; he simply wants to better protect his daughter and the people.

This wave, this wave is a win-win situation!

The young girl was unaware of her father's ulterior motives, but when faced with that question, his tone was absolutely certain—

"Of course she can do it."

"But to achieve this, Kiana will inevitably need to move beyond her childhood and into adulthood."

only...

Mature children are always the most heartbreaking.

Without a doubt, Kiana can certainly wield the powers of the Herrscher of the Void just like herself, and in the not-too-distant future, she may even be able to wield the power of the End.

but--

The price to be paid is far too heavy.

Even the parties involved probably wouldn't want to go through it all again.

Jiang Qiao certainly wouldn't fantasize about keeping Kiana in her childhood forever, although it seems like it's not impossible.

But children eventually grow up. Even if he does have the ability to keep that white fluffy ball "happy" forever, doing so would be irresponsible towards Kiana.

Therefore, all Jiang Qiao wanted to do was to delay this price as late as possible and make it as small as possible.

Since this is something I can do, why not do it?

"She certainly can do it, but in the process, she will inevitably have to pay the price of growth."

The girl's gentle words were tinged with regret.

At that moment, a dazzling flame ignited on his body, slowly spreading throughout the white-haired girl's entire body.

Her long, flowing hair transformed into a neat single ponytail, making the white-haired girl resemble a knight.

Siegfried could see the determination and maturity in Kiana's eyes as she turned and smiled at him.

"Dad, you're so great!"

It was still that familiar, gentle voice, but it felt completely different from before.

If his previous image was that of "Kiana," then his current image is more like Kiana.

The tattered, burning skin fluttered in the night wind.

Looking at Kiana like this, Siegfried instinctively clutched his chest, a pang of sadness welling up in his eyes.

In a daze, everything returned to its original state.

The white-haired girl was still sitting there, wearing Mei's pajamas.

It was as if everything was an illusion.

—And that is indeed the case. That flame was merely an illusion created by a portion of the primordial authority that Jiang Qiao carried when she changed bodies; of course, the clothes were real.

Although that outfit is Kiana's exclusive Herrscher outfit, for Herrschers, there is actually no such thing as exclusive or non-exclusive.

This ability, which is formed from Honkai energy and depicts the self one imagines in one's mind, can achieve the same effect as the Herrscher of the Void, even if one is merely the Herrscher of the Void.

If she wanted, Jiang Qiao could even dress up as Bronya in her cake dress as Kiana, or as Alicia in her gorgeous attire as the Herrscher of Man.

But that would be too exciting, wearing her cake dress in front of YaYa... cough cough...

Siegfried ultimately didn't offer any unreasonable reasons, partly because he didn't want to be hit by Kiana's flying kick, but also because he felt it was unfair to Jiang Qiao.

While Kiana can indeed suppress the Herrscher of the Void, that is not a reason for him to feel at ease letting her bear the risks that originally belonged to his daughter.

After all, this was originally Kiana's responsibility, and it shouldn't be left to others to bear.

What if one day Kiana can no longer suppress the Herrscher of the Void's consciousness? Wouldn't that be a terrible sin?

So, despite feeling regretful... cough cough, Siegfried had no choice but to abandon that audacious idea.

If he really does that, Cecilia might just stab him with her lance later on!

"...I'll leave Kiana to you from now on."

"Aren't you planning to stay?"

In response to the girl's question, Siegfried chuckled:

"No, the child has grown up and no longer needs his/her parents' company."

"Besides, it wouldn't do Kiana any good if I stayed by her side."

As a traitor who defied destiny, his existence would only attract the attention of destiny itself.

Jiang Qiao had to admit that this was indeed the case.

The old man at Schicksal headquarters has always been wary of Siegfried's power. Although Siegfried is undoubtedly a very good candidate for the Heavenly Sacrifice according to their plan, Otto's view of Siegfried is more inclined to kill him than to use him, because he is difficult to control.

After all, Siegfried would never allow him to try to exploit Kiana's plans.

"Are you leaving now? Aren't you going to say goodbye to Kiana?"

Seeing Siegfried get up, the white-haired girl couldn't help but ask.

"It will be difficult to leave if it's late. Please ask you to tell my daughter."

"By the way, before you leave... could you call me Dad one more time?"

Siegfried suddenly stopped and turned his head, revealing an expression that was both somewhat embarrassed and extremely eager.

"of course can."

"Rest in peace, Dad."

The white-haired girl smiled as she looked at the white-haired man, tilting her head to reveal an extremely healing smile.

Those gentle, energetic words nearly made Siegfried stumble.

The elderly father, who seemed somewhat drunk, staggered over the wall and disappeared from the girl's sight.

However, it seemed to be due to an accident that she could hear cries of pain like, "Ouch!"

Perhaps it had some kind of intimate contact with the ground?

Thinking about it this way, Kiana, finding it somewhat amusing, lightly covered the corner of her mouth, looking exceptionally radiant under the moonlight.

And in her ear, a soft, alluring voice rang out:

"The traitor of destiny, Siegfried—he actually showed up in Changkong City."

Rita, dressed in a maid outfit, slowly walked behind Kiana to her side and knelt down with a plate of small snacks in her hands.

The girl didn't seem to care, and simply chuckled as she said:

"Isn't that normal? After all, he's my dad."

When I was speaking, his pronunciation was heavier than the others.
