This heroine is so despicable

Therefore, Ji Zi did not know what happened after the incident. She only knew that someone hijacked the battleship of Tianming and successfully escaped. Therefore, she guessed that the Archbishop was dissatisfied with the stormtroopers because of this.

She sighed helplessly:

"Oh, if only I were there at that time, maybe I could help Ragnar, and we could all still be together..."

"It's just a team reorganization. If you want to meet, you can always come to me during the holidays...By the way, after the holidays, have you decided where to apply for transfer?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. What about Ragnar?"

"Me? Should I continue to stay at the headquarters as a combat instructor?"

Ragnar thought carefully for a moment.

"After that, when I'm older and retire, I'll become a gardening teacher and teach kids how to grow flowers and plants..."

Ji Zi was speechless for a moment:

"What? Isn't it too early to talk about retirement now?"

Ragnar smiled:

"The career of a Valkyrie is very short, just like a girl's best years. The future will definitely be handed over to you, the younger generation... By the way, I heard that the headquarters is researching new artificial stigmata and armor. Maybe Himeko will be able to use them soon."

"Don't act like you're old, Captain. You can still lead us for another ten years at least~"

"Then just spare me. Actually, I really want to retire now..."

The two chatted for a while, and after drinking coffee, they prepared to head to their next destination - a seemingly ordinary orphanage under Tianming Industry - the only feature seemed to be that it only adopted girls.

In fact, the reason for doing this is not because of religion or anything else, but simply because women have better resistance to Honkai than men. Therefore, women are superior in awakening stigmata or replicating stigmata artificially. Except for the Kaslana family with extraordinary bloodline, no other family has ever heard of any "male Valkyrie".

The Schicksal Organization has established similar orphanages all over the world, and most of the children adopted are children who lost their parents in the Honkai disaster. They select Valkyries from them, or train reserve talents such as logistics and scientific research.

Active Valkyries are sometimes asked to do some volunteer work in these orphanages. Naturally, they leave a deep impression on these children. This is probably what the bishop meant by passing on the torch.

"I remember you said last time that there was a very talented child. Are you going to see her specially this time?" Ji Zi asked curiously.

“Not entirely…”

In fact, the reason why Ragnar went to this orphanage was indeed mostly because of that "gifted" child - Bianca Atagina...

That is Siegfried's real daughter, the real Kiana.

It was she who saved the unconscious and seriously injured Kiana and brought her back to life, but the latter, who had lost her memory, had her life completely rewritten by Archbishop Otto and became the current Bianca.

Ragnar felt deeply guilty about this, but Otto seemed to trust her as the only remaining insider. He even asked her to take better care of Bianca in private and try to train her to become the strongest warrior in the history of Sentence as soon as possible.

Ragnar had somewhat... complicated feelings about this order, because in a sense he was also an accomplice in deceiving Bianca. One day in the future...what if the child would remember his true past?

With this somewhat complicated feeling, Ragnar and Himeko arrived at the orphanage after a while.

The teacher who manages the orphanage here is also a staff member of Tianming. When he saw Ragnar, he immediately greeted him:

"Long time no see, Ragnar. Yesterday I told the children that you were coming, and they were very excited. However, they are now in the backyard. The two volunteers who came to visit today brought a lot of toys and gifts, and told stories to the children. Everyone was very happy. Shall I take you there?"

Ragnar shook his head: "No need, we can go there by ourselves, you go ahead and do your work."

Halfway through the journey, Ji Zi asked curiously.

"Wait, speaking of gifts... This is my first time here... Should I bring something?"

"It's okay. The orphanage doesn't lack anything. It's just a little deserted at ordinary times. If Jizi wants, just go and visit those children more often in the future... In fact, I always think Jizi is very suitable to be a teacher."

"Me? Teacher?"

Ji Zi waved her hands quickly.

"No, no, forget about being a teacher. I don't have as good a temper as you. If I meet a naughty child, I'm afraid I'll be pissed off to death..."

After passing the church and before entering the backyard, the two heard the cheerful laughter of children. There seemed to be a familiar voice of Ragnar, telling stories to the children:

"…The rich black deer has copper hooves and iron skin, is invulnerable to swords and spears, has eyes that shine like burning lamps, and screams like a ghost. If ordinary people saw such a monster, they would be scared to death!"

"But the pioneer and her companions were fearless, because each of these four heroes had their own strengths, their own unique skills, and their fighting spirit and patience were amazing. It was just a piece of cake for them to deal with the rich beasts!"

Ragnar, who felt that the voice was becoming more and more familiar, suddenly felt a palpitation.

When she walked into the backyard, she stared in amazement at Xing who was telling strange stories to the children, and Kafka who was smiling beside her.

The floor and table around the two of them were filled with toys that had obviously just been unpacked and various gifts suitable for children. It was obvious that the children were having a lot of fun. Only a few girls were still listening to her story and were not attracted by the toys.

Among them was Bianca, who was sitting in Xing's arms and chewing a fruit.

The latter saw her and immediately waved to Ragnar.

When Xing saw Ragnar, she stopped telling stories, and her eyes couldn't help but focus on the figure with fiery red hair beside her.

Looks like... so much like...

"How...can they be so similar!?" Xing couldn't help but whisper.

Kafka also looked at Jizi with curiosity and said with a smile:

"Not really—it looks a bit more immature and a bit less elegant, but... it has a different flavor."

Xing and Kafka were now sighing over seeing familiar strangers, but Ragnar was completely panicking.

"How is this possible? You...you guys..."

——How did these two people find this place?

And more importantly—were they coming for her, or for Bianca?

No... I have no value, as expected! Their appearance next to K-423 before was no coincidence!

Ragna almost subconsciously tensed her body. If she hadn't had any weapons with her, she would have raised her sword in alert.

Seeing Ragnar's nervous look, afraid of being affected by Kafka's words again, Xing smiled and comforted him:

"Sister Ragnar, don't be so nervous. Come, sit down first~"

At this time, naturally, a few little girls nearby saw Ragnar and immediately ran to her side and acted coquettishly to her whom they had not seen for a long time.

Ragnar looked down at the children, finally gritted his teeth, and sat stiffly in front of Xing.

This obviously unnatural look made Ji Zi, who was standing next to him, realize that something was wrong.

"Ragnar, they are..."

"He's a friend I met before." Xing said before Ragnar.

Kafka stood up, took a few steps, and looked at Jizi with curious eyes:

"Himeko, right?"

A group of stars were holding back their laughter, feeling that this scene seemed familiar?

"I graduated from the Department of Interstellar Aerodynamics at the California Institute of Technology and received a doctorate. However, after that, I underwent artificial stigmata reconstruction surgery, joined the Valkyrie Corps of Destiny, and studied under Ragnar. I went from being a scholar to a warrior... What a big change..."

"Have you investigated me?"

Jizi looked at Kafka with a slight frown - for some reason, she always felt that she would not get along well with the woman in front of her.

And... the way the other person looked at her also made Ji Zi feel uncomfortable, as if... he was not looking at her, but comparing her with someone who was similar to her.

"I'm just curious about you. I can see that you seem to have been very interested in space travel since you were a child. Have you ever thought about it? If there was no disaster called Honkai, and you hadn't joined the Valkyrie, what would you be doing now?"

Ji Zi thought about it hesitantly:

"Maybe building a rocket? But... why are you asking?"

"I'm just sighing at the fun of fate. Ah... please don't mind it. I just know someone who is very similar to you in every way."

Ragnar, who was standing by, took this opportunity to wave to Bianca, who obediently jumped off Xing's lap and came to Ragnar's side:

"Sister Ragnar?"

Ragna glanced at Xing and Kafka and found that they didn't seem to care, which made her slightly relieved. Then she whispered to Bianca:

"Bianca, take everyone outside to play first. These two sisters and I have something important to discuss."

Bianca looked at her, then back at Xing and Kafka, and nodded.

After the children left, the atmosphere suddenly became much colder.

Ragna hesitated again and again, but still chose not to call for help. She sighed:

"How did you find this place?"

Star shrugged:

"With Kafka here, it shouldn't be difficult to ask a kind person to help us find out where you went on vacation. Oh, don't worry Otto. We have persuaded the spies that guy had placed in this orphanage to pretend they didn't see anything before we leave completely."

At this time, Ji Zi beside him also reacted - it seemed that these two were more than just Ragnar's acquaintances.

She immediately tensed her body and clenched her fists:

"Ragnar, are they... the two enemies you mentioned before!?"

"You actually said we are enemies? Sister Ragnar, this is a bit too much..."

Xing looked at Ji Zi's expression, which was completely like she was looking at a stranger, and for some reason he felt a little excited.

If her eyes showed a little bit of disdain, it would be even more...guh...no, that's Jiko's mother!

No... No! You can't think of weird things!

Ragnar looked at Xing with an "evil" smile and felt quite pressured.

But what she was sure of was that no matter what, she couldn't fight with the other party here, she had to calm down first.

Fortunately, from her understanding of the two, they were both reasonable people, but their purpose was unclear...

So Ragnar thought about it and asked:

"No matter what, it is a fact that you hijacked the battleship of Tianming, and...what is your purpose in coming here this time?"

Xing smiled:

"Of course I'm here to see an 'old friend'."

Ragnar's pupils shrank slightly - as expected...

They still knew... knew that Bianca was Kiana...

But how was it exposed?

Only Bishop Otto and Bianca should know Bianca's true identity. There is no record of this in the database of the Destiny Headquarters...

From Siegfried? No... Siegfried didn't even know his own daughter was still alive. Where did they come from...

Wait! Could it be that… in addition to that mysterious power of words, Kafka also has the ability to explore people’s memories! ?

Oh no... If this is true, how many secrets have I exposed? More importantly...

"So, now that you've met...what do you want to do next?"

Xing looked at Ragnar's changing expression strangely and raised his eyebrows:

"Of course I want to make friends with her. After all, I have a very close relationship with that person who 'looks like her'. Seeing such a similar person, of course I want to get close to her~ I even want to take her back to our world to have a look. It will definitely be very interesting, right Kafka?"

Kafka imagined the scene and couldn't help but smile.

And Ragnar swallowed his saliva:

"Bishop Otto...won't allow it. She will become the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny."

Xing nodded: "Of course! I have no doubt about that."

That's Ji Zi's mother!

If Ji Zi's mother who took the intellectual path was so strong, wouldn't she be even stronger if she became a warrior directly? There is no problem with the strongest Valkyrie, but I don't know whether it is hunting or destruction. It can't be joy, right?

Looking at Ragnar's wary expression, Xing sighed again:

"Alright, alright, just thinking about it. We won't take her away. After all, we have fought side by side. Can't we just relax a little?"

Then Xing looked at Ji Zi and put on a brighter smile:

"Right, Sister Himeko~"

Ji Zi looked at Xing, who seemed particularly enthusiastic towards her, with some surprise. To be precise... from the beginning, she felt that these two people were paying too much attention to her.

"Then why don't we have afternoon tea together? Let's improve our relationship?"
