K424 of the Collapse World

Shirley suddenly spoke, ignoring Kiana's shy attempts to stop her, she raised her hand and patted the table in front of her, a sly smile appearing on her face.

She could see that, although the girl with number K423 acted as if she was carefree, she could tell from her slightly trembling fingertips that she was actually very nervous.

Obviously, even if she untied her knot, no matter how optimistic and cheerful a person is, it is impossible to immediately get along with a group of people she doesn't know. I guess she mustered a lot of courage to attend the party with such a positive and sunny attitude...

After seeing this, Shilis, who couldn't bear to ruin the atmosphere, gave up the idea of ​​dealing with the relationship seriously and began to become frivolous. If the girl could happily integrate into the group, then what did it matter if all those messy things were put aside?

It's just a little embarrassing...

“Eh…?”

On the other side, after hearing what Shirley said, the girl was also stunned, and she just couldn't react to what was going on. She originally planned to bite the bullet and then be frank with everyone present. She was originally prepared to be stopped by Shirley, but she didn't expect that person to say something like this out of the blue...

"That won't do. As Kaslana's descendant, you must take responsibility for what you have done! However, this is the first time I have seen such a situation. After all, you can also be considered

Sisters... Siegfried, what do you think?"

"Ah I?"

The topic suddenly turned to himself. Siegfried was stunned. Looking at the girls' eyes focused on him, he felt a little overwhelmed.

"Well, I think it's okay... After all, this way, their relationship will get better, and it won't be too awkward when they meet each other... right?"

"..."

"Um...is there something wrong with what I said?"

"No problem. In other words, you agree to this marriage?"

Shirley said expressionlessly. Kiana, who was leaning on her, looked up in shock when she heard this. She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word...

"Clam??"

"--puff!"

Amid Siegfried's surprised cry, Mei, who had just drunk some water to calm herself down, spit it out. She looked at the two people who were talking with astonishment on her face, then turned her gaze to the silver-haired girl who was equally surprised but with a twitching mouth, and Mei fell unusually silent.

“Let me go!”

The feeling of being kept in the dark finally made her burst out, and she interrupted the conversation of several people with a shout. But after attracting everyone's attention, Meiyi became a little embarrassed...

"Um... Excuse me, please wait a moment, what is going on here? And Kiana, why do you call that lady Kiana? What happened? What is the relationship between you two? Please, I am completely confused...!"

"There are some very complicated reasons here, and it's hard to explain now... Sorry, Mei, I will explain it to you later, but now..."

As the girl spoke, she slowly loosened her arms around Mei, looked at Siegfried who was sitting next to Shirley, then looked at the strange girls sitting around her, and took a deep breath.

Although he was very grateful to Shirley for cooperating with him, he came to the banquet to clear up all the misunderstandings. So, no matter how much he didn't want to face it, it was time to make everything clear.

"I'm so sorry, guys..."

The girl's sudden serious voice dispelled the inexplicably cheerful atmosphere in the room and made everyone's eyes fall on her again.

Shiris looked at the serious-looking girl and sighed softly.

(As expected, it has turned out like this... Never mind, let her decide what to do...)

As for the experimental subject K423, everyone around Shirley knew about her relationship with Kiana, but due to the interference of Shirley, Theresa and others, this relationship was never revealed. Until today, when the two girls appeared together arm in arm, they could guess what was going on...

"I have always occupied the identity of 'Kiana' and took everything that belonged to her for granted as mine. Now that I know the truth, I decided to return everything to her and leave... However, she refused and caught me back... Hehe~"

She said this, facing the confused, curious, and even complicated looks of the girls around her, and delivered the speech she had been planning for a long time.

"Like I just said, Kiana-sister... She didn't hate me as a fake at all. As a victim, she comforted me... Well, I don't know what you think, but you are all friends of Kiana-sister, and you will definitely not like me as a fake..."

407 Final Settlement>>

At this point, she slightly turned her eyes away and glanced at Bronya standing behind Yae Sakura, revealing a bitter smile. In her impression, Bronya seemed to hate her the most, but when she recalled the difficulties this girl had once made towards her, the girl no longer felt the same anger as before. She had already learned the reason why the girl hated her, and thinking about her own behavior at that time, she only felt that Bronya's behavior was reasonable...

Bronya lowered her head to avoid her gaze. The girl did not see that there was no hostility in Bronya's eyes, only deep guilt. She would never forget the scene when K423 rescued her from the collapsed building. This incident completely eliminated all the prejudices Bronya had against the girl.

Seele looked at Bronya's complicated expression, walked forward slowly, leaned close to the gray-haired girl's ear, and moved her lips slightly...

Without paying attention to other people's expressions, the girl continued speaking with a hint of relief in her tone.

"I know... Compared to Sister Kiana and Lady Shilis, I am a test subject but I look so great, I'm sure no one will like me... But, Sister Kiana encouraged me just now, so I thought, I must work harder... So, I came here, begging everyone to

I'm really sorry. "

At this point, the girl bowed deeply to the seat and did not stand up for a long time. At this time, the room was quiet, everyone looked at each other, no one took the initiative to break the silence, and the silver-haired girl also maintained the posture of bowing, not moving at all...

Mei couldn't stand it anymore. Although she still didn't quite understand the situation, she didn't want to see her friend being so humble. The "Kiana" she knew shouldn't have that kind of expression!

After a moment of hesitation, Mei was about to intervene in the silver-haired girl's apology, but a small figure acted faster than her.

----

The silver-haired girl lowered her head and waited nervously for the "judgment". As a touch of silver-gray came into her eyes, a petite figure suddenly rushed into her arms. The girl was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Bronya with her eyes closed, hugging her waist tightly...

"Eh? You...?"

"Bronya is the one who wants to say sorry... I did so many excessive things to you in the past, but you still saved Bronya's life... I'm sorry, and... thank you."

"Uh...? I saved you before? When was that...?"

At this time, the black-haired girl next to Bronya also came over.

"Well, Seele also wants to thank you... 423 sister, if it weren't for you, Seele would have definitely lost sister Bronya that day. Seele couldn't even imagine that kind of thing... Thank you so much..."

Unexpectedly, the first people to come to her were these two little girls who once hated her. Suddenly, the silver-haired girl felt a little embarrassed to be so grateful to them, and she couldn't help but look away.

"You're welcome. Anyone can do that..."

"Don't say such things now. You have proved your charisma to them through your actions. You are qualified to accept their thanks!"

Fu Hua, who was sitting on the other side, spoke. After Bronya stepped back, she slowly stood up and walked over here.

"Monitor..."

"No one here has ever really hated you, Kiana. Not everyone is angry at you like Bronya is. She did something wrong at that time, so she apologized to you just now. Don't attach your imaginary feelings to others! You are not a fake. In my eyes, even if you are not the real Kiana, you are a unique existence."

"Thank you, monitor. I..."

The girl whispered, and before she knew it, her eyes were moist.

"Besides, you didn't do anything wrong. There is an old saying in Shenzhou, 'Ignorance is not a crime'. You didn't know from the beginning that you took Kiana's place, and you didn't even know that you were a clone. In this case, what did you do wrong?"

"But...but, Aunt Jizi also told me that 'ignorance is an original sin'..."

"Don't bother to argue with me at this time! Idiot... You are not wrong. The ones who are wrong are those who are so self-righteous that they kept you in the dark. Yes, we are the only ones who are wrong. You are also a victim."

Fu Hua interrupted the weak voice of the silver-haired girl with some regret, sighed, walked forward, and wanted to raise her hand to touch the girl's head, but suddenly realized that as a peer, it might be inappropriate for her to touch the head, so she patted the girl's shoulder instead.

"If you are innocent, you don't need to atone for your sins. Just keep walking forward with your head held high, just like you did before."

"Well...thank you, monitor..."

There was a hint of sobbing in the girl's voice. She had never realized before that this rigid and strict monitor could actually enlighten her like this...

"Fu Hua is right. You really did nothing wrong, k423."

At this time, Shirley finally spoke. With a sincere and gentle smile, she slowly raised her hand.

"If we have to say whose fault it is... Siegfried, this is your fault, take the blame!"

He raised his hand and slapped Siegfried on the back with a loud bang. The huge force made the man stagger and cough several times before he caught his breath.

"Ahem... Shilis, do you want to kill me?"

"Stop talking nonsense. You know what you should do, right? It's not an exaggeration to say that this is your fault... Don't move? Do you want to do it again?"

"Yes, yes, yes...it's my fault, okay?"

Looking back at Shirley with resentment, Siegfried sighed softly, his expression softened, and he slowly walked to the side of the silver-haired girl. Without saying anything, he just leaned down and hugged the girl in his arms.

"Mr. Siegfried?"

"Whether it's the real Kiana or not, you will always be my daughter! You are obviously unique, and I thought of you as a substitute for that child.

It's my fault... Can you forgive me, Dad?"

"..."

"You're not talking? I'll take that as your agreement. Also... you little idiot, have you forgotten how to call me before?"

"Dad..."

The girl hesitated for a long time, and finally called out this extremely affectionate name. At this time, the tears that were shining in her eyes finally burst out and slid down her face...

Looking at the father and daughter hugging each other in the middle of the room, the girls present all cast kind glances at them. Even Kiana, who was hiding in Shirley's arms, raised her head and looked at Siegfried and the girl not far away. A complex look flashed in her eyes, and then, there was only the same kindness and relief in her pure blue eyes.

However, she still kept a cold face and looked away slightly.

"Forget it... I want to tell you what happened before. I forgave you at that time. But don't think that what happened just now can be forgotten! Just wait, sooner or later..."

"Wow... Could it be that... Sister Kiana wants to kiss me back? Yes, sure~ I won't resist..."

"Hey! You, what nonsense are you talking about......!"

Seeing Kiana's cheeks turn red again, the girl couldn't help but burst into laughter. The dark clouds that had troubled her for a while also completely disappeared at this moment. In her father's arms, facing the gentle eyes of the girls around her, she felt as if she had been surrounded by happiness...

"Okay, let's end this matter here. Everyone, don't forget what we are doing now."

Shirley suddenly said loudly, with a relieved smile, and picked up the wine glass in front of her.

"The party isn't over yet, everyone take your seats. No one is allowed to leave before twelve o'clock!"

408Farewell

The next morning, in the dormitory of Saint Freya's academy, the haggard-looking red-haired girl covered her cheek and yawned. As her sleepiness was driven away by hunger, she subconsciously stood up slowly from the bed, but the next moment, the sudden tingling sensation in her head made her gasp...

"hiss......"

Tesla frowned tightly and took a few breaths before she could barely recover from the pain. This feeling was not unfamiliar to her. In fact, she had experienced this feeling when she just reached the legal drinking age.

the Hangover......

That's right, I must have been drunk at Shirley's party last night. It seemed like she had just started and she got herself drunk. She had no memory of what happened after that.

But I always felt that even though I was unconscious, I seemed to be holding Shirley all the time...

"Oh, I just hope I didn't do anything indecent at the table... Ugh, my head hurts..."

The fatigue and headache brought by the hangover forced her to stop thinking, but when she managed to recall a certain thought she had at the time, she couldn't help laughing out loud, with self-mockery written all over her face.

"Ha...hateful, I really lost more than I gained, that stinky girl! I was also too stupid to actually want to get her drunk and wait for her to tell the truth..."

As expected, I was still too concerned about what Shirley had hidden. If I could let it go, at least yesterday would have been a happy experience...

"But speaking of which, can she really get drunk with her physique?"

"Yes, that is impossible."

"what?!"

Tesla was surprised to find that the blue-haired girl was sitting on the chair on the other side of his bed, with dark circles under her eyes, looking straight at him...

"Although Shiris has not received a physical examination since then, she has provided a genetic sample as a Herrscher. Her physique is much more advanced than that of a human. The toxicity of alcohol will be decomposed when it enters her body, and no metabolites such as acetaldehyde will be produced. Naturally, it is impossible for an abnormal reaction to occur..."

"Wait! Chicken Coop Head, when did you come in?"

"I was here the whole time, but you were too drunk to notice, Dr. Tesla."

He stood up and walked towards Tesla, handing the cup of water to the red-haired girl who was covering her head. Einstein gently rubbed his eye sockets and let out a long breath.

"You got drunk and made a scene at the party, so I sent you back early. I have to say, you look exactly the same when you're drunk as before..."

"Um...I didn't say anything weird, did I?"

"I didn't hear you clearly. I just saw you pulling on Shilis's arm and crying loudly. I thought it was too embarrassing, so I took you away early."

Einstein replied, patting his cheeks and trying to smooth his messy hair, but after repeating it several times, he gave up completely. It was basically impossible to change the shape of the messy curls without hairspray.

"But Aiyin, why do you look so... tired?

? Did you guys hang out all night afterwards? "

Tesla couldn't help but ask, looking at Einstein, who looked like a national treasure of China. But the next moment after hearing the question, the expressionless blue-haired girl frowned, as if she remembered something bad. Her lazy eyes, which had just been slightly narrowed, opened and stared at Tesla with a piercing gaze.

"I heard they only gathered until twelve o'clock..."

"Twelve o'clock? That's not that late... Wait, you mean heard?"

“Because I wasn’t involved.”

Facing Tesla's puzzled gaze, Einstein's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes became more and more strange.

"Dr. Tesla, after I sent you back, I was planning to go back, but when I put you on the bed, you suddenly came up to me, calling out Hillis's name with a drunken breath, and dragged me to the bed..."
