Chapter 70: A Strange Voice in a Dream
[After a brief tutoring session with Class Monitor Fu Hua, Kiana, as expected, falls asleep in Himeko's class. She sleeps until the bell rings for the end of class. Himeko asks Kiana a few basic questions, then dumps her on Fu Hua.
And on the other side of the academy, Theresa, slacking off, is wandering around the campus under the pretext of an inspection. The beautiful atmosphere is about to be broken. Her communication device vibrates a few times, and Rita's image appears on the screen.
After greeting Theresa, Rita reveals that Overseer Otto has arranged for her to travel to the Far East tomorrow to handle the handover of the Selene and to attend this year's Valkyrie ranking exam as an observer.
At the end of the call.
"By the way, it's been a long time. You are as cute as a doll as ever."
"Doll?? Eh? Eh eh? Why are you suddenly talking about that..." Theresa blushes.
After hanging up, Theresa goes to the training grounds to vent.]
"So cute, Lady Theresa," Rita smiled.
Far away in Germany, watching the movie in a love nest with Kallen and Otto, Theresa suddenly shivers, takes a sip of bitter melon juice, and gradually calms down.
Shigure Kira wishes she could change seats, to get as far away from this strange woman Rita as possible. Theresa is already older than her...
"Rita is finally on screen. It seems among us, you're the only one who hasn't appeared yet," Salome laughed. According to Yaqing's usual logic, she probably wouldn't live long either and would likely go offline in the middle of the movie.
"The only one of 'you' who hasn't died," Shabu also thought of this and said with a narrowed-eyed smile.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's not confirmed that 'I' died. It just said my whereabouts are unknown," Shigure Kira quickly drew a line between herself and the "dead people," stating that she was still alive.
Being told this by them, Rita also became unsure about the upcoming plot. Although the script was nominally written by Welt, everyone knew that Yaqing's skills at planting and twisting knives were top-notch.
He wouldn't really write me to death, would he?
Rita herself was not sure.
[After Fu Hua's tutoring session ends, at night, Kiana, in her light pajamas, sleeps soundly, hugging a Homu plushie. But from her furrowed brow, it can be seen that this is not a sweet dream.
The scene changes from the bedroom to the St. Freya Academy plaza. Kiana has also changed from her light pajamas back into her White Comet battlesuit. The blood-red filter makes one feel oppressed. Suddenly, a woman's eerie laughter sounds out behind her.
Kiana whips her head around, but sees nothing.
"I have slept for so, so long. But now, the gears of fate have begun to turn again."
"Welcome home, Kiana Kaslana☆~"
The woman's voice makes Kiana dazed for a moment, but she soon realizes she's dreaming and wants to wake up. But the woman who doesn't show her face is in no hurry, and doesn't even seem to see Kiana as a threat.
Hearing Kiana say she is the future strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, the woman's voice finally can't help but laugh. She says, word by word, "It seems you know nothing of the sins you carry. You are just an orphan, abandoned by your father, who has never even seen your mother's face."
"Aren't you curious? Why you've had no mother's company since you were born? Why your father had to leave you?"
The woman's words successfully pique Kiana's interest. But under Kiana's questioning, the woman deliberately changes the subject. She intends to play a little game with Kiana.
She tells Kiana to chase her, and at the same time, summons many zombies to block her path.]
Seeing that familiar ☆ symbol, the viewers watching the movie get excited.
"It's the Queen! Ahhhh, the Queen is still alive!"
"It's over. I can't say 'her visage and voice live on' anymore. The Queen is actually online again."
"My Queen, her visage and voice live on, her smile remains forever!"
"The Queen is actually still alive?!"
"If the Queen isn't offline, does that mean Cecilia might not be offline either?"
"I feel like my tears were wasted..."
In the front row, Shabu speculates, "Since Sirin isn't offline, have you guys received any news? Will Director Cecilia make another appearance later?"
"I currently have not received such a plot point," Salome, as the director, denied Shabu's speculation.
"Salome, how many scripts have you received so far?" Cheng Lixue asked curiously.
It wasn't just Cheng Lixue who was curious; all the women were, and even Kiana and the others in the back row pricked up their ears.
"I can't say," Salome refused to answer.
Everyone was inevitably a little disappointed.
But Patrick noticed that Salome was giving them a look.
"Sirin?" Himeko finally remembered that Sirin seemed to be a student in her class as well, but had been on a long leave of absence, so she had never been able to see this "Queen" at St. Freya Academy.
In the back row, MEI looked at Mobius with a half-smile. "Dr. Mobius, it looks like I've won."
Mobius was still stubborn. "It's just this one segment. It doesn't mean the Core of the Void is inside Kiana."
MEI, having worked with Mobius for nearly ten years, naturally knew her stubbornness and pride. She didn't press the issue, just smiled and continued to watch the movie.
But Mobius was feeling less and less confident. She carefully nudged Yaqing with her elbow.
Yaqing looked at her with confusion.
Mobius frowned.
Strangely, Yaqing actually understood the meaning in Mobius's eyes.
The Core of the Void isn't really in Kiana, is it?
Mobius signaled with her eyes.
For the sake of the bet's fairness, Yaqing directly pretended not to have seen it.
Mobius stomped on his foot hard in anger.
And far away in Canghai City, Shenzhou, Siegfried and his wife were also in a movie theater. Siegfried had once again shown off his money-power, directly booking a high-end VIP private screening room. When he saw Sirin's voice on the screen telling Kiana she was abandoned by her father, Cecilia's brow had already furrowed.
Noticing Cecilia's frown, Siegfried's survival instinct went into overdrive. He quickly explained, "Honey, you know me. I would never do something like abandoning Kiana."
It wasn't that Siegfried was explaining quickly. If he had been a step slower, he would probably be kneeling on a keyboard all night when they got back to the hotel.
"I know," Cecilia knew Siegfried, and she also trusted Yaqing's scriptwriting ability. So, she was wondering how this unreasonable plot point would be made reasonable.
Cecilia guessed there were only two possibilities.
First, Sirin was lying.
Second, something very serious had happened in the fourteen years of blank plot, serious enough to force Siegfried to leave Kiana.
"Honey..." Siegfried called out carefully.
"Pfft," seeing Siegfried's pitiful look, Cecilia couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Alright, I'm not mad at you. That's just a plot in an anime."
"So I don't have to kneel on the keyboard?" Siegfried immediately relaxed and said nonchalantly.
"You still have to kneel," Cecilia smiled.
"Huh?" Siegfried was stunned.
"Just kidding," Cecilia winked.
Siegfried breathed a sigh of relief.
