Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"Oh... shall I take you to find your parents?"

Night Owl looked at the girl in front of him and offered his opinion—

"I just happened to be kicked out of the company by my boss, and I probably won't be able to go back anytime soon."

Stan nodded with unbridled joy... This is exactly what I wanted!

"So, little girl, where do you live...?"

After a brief moment of thought, the cat girl took out a pen and paper and began to sketch.

"He's still a mute child who can't speak..."

Seeing Stan sketching on the blank paper, Night Owl was furious!

"Hmm...? This is Schicksal's base?"

Watching the catgirl sketching, the owl had a guess about the place described on the paper...

"Whatever, so what if it's fate... Anyway, those Valkyries won't recognize who I am..."

Night Owl muttered something under his breath and looked up at Stan again.

"Hmm, I roughly know where this place is. So, who is the adult who threw you out here, little girl?"

The owl then posed another question.

"Oh... blonde hair, blue eyes, great figure...? I see. Without further ado, young lady, let's set off now!"

.......

Within the Destiny North Africa Branch

"So, Lady Durandal was joking around with Miss Kiana...?"

Rita eyed the two sisters, who were grinning smirking, with suspicion. Her maid's intuition told her that the two sisters were definitely hiding something from her.

"Yeah, yeah, I heard from Rita that Bianca wasn't feeling well, so I came to check on her—and then I found out that my older sister was just lazing in bed today..."

"Then I used the same method that Saint Freya and Jiuxiao used to wake me up to wake Bianca... It seems to work quite well, hmm."

Kiana, quick-witted as ever, immediately offered an explanation that seemed reasonably plausible.

"I see... Well then, Miss Kiana, this is the last time, okay?"

Rita seemed to eventually believe the girls' story...

"Hello, Lady Durandal? There's a man outside the base with a little girl looking for you—"

"That guy said he met the girl on the street, and that the girl seemed to be looking for you! The girl even said you threw her out of her room???"

An untimely radio broadcast suddenly started...

Upon hearing this, Rita glanced at the window, which had been tightly closed but was now wide open.

"Lady Durandal—"

"Rita, I was wrong!!!"

Chapter 280 Family Education in the Kaslana Family

"Sis, you're saying this is Stan???"

Kiana pointed at the snarling catgirl in front of her and her lips twitched... The latter was someone the group had just picked up from the base's gatekeeper by a young man.

The young man then lectured them at length, telling them to be kinder to the child and to be more tolerant.

As for the culprit, Lady Durandal, her knees were still glued to the keyboard. Kneeling on the keyboard, Durandal explained the catgirl's origins to Rita and Kiana...

In short, explanations can be summarized as: "I don't know?" or "I woke up to find my cat had turned into a catgirl." These are explanations that are essentially meaningless...

"So, let's put aside for now the reason why Stan inexplicably turned into a catgirl... a catgirl who can't speak human language, can't write, and can only scribble on paper..."

"Miss Kiana, do you think there's any difference between changing and not changing...?"

Miss Rita fell into deep thought and finally came to the conclusion that this cat wouldn't do—

"Meow!!!"

Stan, who understood what Rita was trying to say, grinned in displeasure. Hmm, it was surprisingly cute to see her making that gesture in human form.

"Hmm...that's true, her transformation doesn't even involve wearing clothes...my Bella is different..."

Kiana, understanding the unspoken meaning, thought of her own dragon girl Bella, who had also transformed into a human, and nodded in agreement.

"Bella? Kiana, who's that?"

Bianca frowned upon hearing Kiana's words... and alertly pricked up her ears—

Why does my little sister seem to be connected to a pretty girl? My Bella... has she already been accepted as family?

How infuriating! I've never even heard her call my Bianca "sister"—

"Oh, Bella? Hmm... you know, the dragon that appeared at Schicksal headquarters before... she can turn into a very pretty girl—"

"Wait... Kiana, are you talking about the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Benares?"

Durandal's eyes widened as if she had just realized something.

"Yes, yes—you were holding her just a few days ago, sis..."

Kiana, suddenly displaying a mischievous streak, nodded vigorously.

"I hugged her??? When—"

Durandal's face was filled with huge question marks, her brain racing—before being overwhelmed by her younger sister's supplementary words...

"Oh? It was the other day, Bianca, when you dragged me shopping..."

"Wait, you mean those two incredibly lifelike dolls???"

Reminded by the white, fiery cat, the silly goose suddenly realized that a few days ago, when he took Kiana out, he bought two small dolls from a gray-haired, red-eyed businesswoman on the street...

"So... I released a Judgment-class Honkai Beast into Schicksal's base??? And I didn't even bother to look at it, just let it wander around..."

Durandal sensed that he had committed some serious dereliction of duty... After all, Bishop Otto was currently working right here in this base... The image of the bishop dancing with dragons... it was too much to bear—

"Don't worry, sis, Bella is very obedient—"

Kiana, seemingly sensing something from Durandal's somewhat flustered expression, spoke up to comfort her.

"Wait—Kiana, I remember we brought in two dolls, right? The one with the gray-blue hair should be Benares... But who's the one with the purple hair???"

"Purple-haired... Sis, you know I'm a Herrscher, right...?"

"That's right, the bishop said you were the prototype of the Second Herrscher, so what???"

Durandal naturally looked at Kiana in front of her, while Kiana simply stared at her silently... seemingly hinting at something.

"Wait a minute... Sis, you mean, that purple-haired one is the original consciousness of the Second Herrscher???"

Durandal jumped up from the keyboard, grabbed the Black Abyss White Flower from the room, and prepared to launch a supersonic attack on Kiana's room...

"Wow, sis, calm down! That's just a puppet, the kind without Herrscher powers—the worst thing it can do is deflate Bishop Otto's tires and cut his clothes—"

As Kiana finished speaking, the room fell silent for a moment...

"Kiana, my dear sister, do you know why we walked for half a day to stroll through the local shopping street last time?"

"why?"

"We originally wanted to borrow vehicles from the base, but for some reason all the tires were flat that day... and we can't exactly drive around town in a flying vehicle or a hovercraft..."

"So, sis, you dragged me on a 30km hiking trail? You should have told me sooner! We can't teleport back there, can we?!"

"Hehe~"

Yulandel scratched his head sheepishly, his expression turning serious again.

"So, Kiana—what is that Herrscher consciousness to you?"

"Uh, sis, why are you suddenly so serious...?"

Seeing Durandal suddenly become serious, Kiana instinctively shuddered...

"This will determine my attitude towards her, Kiana—"

"Hmm... I see. I feel like Sirin is like my older sister or younger sister? And now that she's lost her powers, she's gone from a destructive, love-starved brat to a simple, uncaring troublemaker..."

"So that's how you see her, Kiana. Then I understand—since she's your sister, she's also my sister! Disciplining the Herrscher consciousness Sirin is urgent!!"

Durandal once again grabbed the Black Abyss White Flower... intending to raid Kiana's room—

"Sis, what are you going to do now—"

The white-haired knight, Ji Sisi, grabbed the golden-haired knight's skirt armor, trying to prevent the little doll from being nailed to the wall and spanked—

"Of course, it's the Kaslana family's traditional family education method—"

"...What Kaslana Education Method? Why didn't Dad ever tell me about it?!"

For some reason, Kiana had a vague feeling that this word carried an ominous connotation...

"Miss Kiana, the answer to your question is simple... Mr. Siegfried Kaslana was a problem child born of destiny; as the heir, he even ran away from home for several years..."

Rita, standing to the side, explained to the white-haired knight—

"As for the Kaslana family's educational methods... well, because of the Kaslana family's constitution... so the Kaslana family adheres to the attitude of 'beat them to death if they can't be killed'...?"

Chapter 281 The Bishop Has Fallen—

"Mmm, Bella, you did a great job!"

In Kiana's room, our doll Sirin, the former Queen of the Sky, was happily munching on a roasted chicken leg that Bella had stolen from the Schicksal base's kitchen, completely unaware of the impending doom—

As footsteps grew closer, or rather, the sound of someone rushing toward the room, Bella, instantly alert, opened the window and threw out the remaining food and scraps, just like she had done with Durandal... As for whether she hit anyone... well, who knows.

"Your Majesty, stop eating—someone's coming!"

The doll-like criminal gang, instantly alert, threw the trash out the window and turned the fan on full blast to dissipate the food smell. Sirin grabbed a napkin and wiped the grease off her mouth, then Bella burned the napkin to ashes and threw them out the window.

This demonstrates that a two-person team is more efficient and effective than working alone.

Having done all that, the duo jumped back onto the bedside table and continued to play dead, intending to play a game of "statues" with the newcomers... But unfortunately, the physically imposing intruders had no intention of playing any childish games with the "criminal" gang who were stealing food and playing pranks all over the Destiny Base—
