At this moment, a sullen Kiana felt like her previous one-sided hopes had made her a complete fool.
As she vented her emotions, she felt truly disappointed in her heart.
Admittedly, she was the one who had assumed Siegfried was following her, the one who had spun fantasies on her own, and the one whose defenses had broken on her own.
Siegfried hadn't appeared from beginning to end, so theoretically, Kiana's bad mood had little to do with him...
Like hell it didn't!
What on earth is that useless old dad thinking!
Leaving without a word back then was one thing, but he hasn't contacted me at all in so many years.
He dumped me in Europe, and after all this time drifting around, I finally settled down, but I still couldn't find any news of him.
Hmph, even if he had to hide from Schicksal's pursuit, he didn't have to go so many years without a single whisper.
Even Senior Leo Ash, a friend I've only known for a short while, is so concerned about me, but my useless old dad...
At this moment, Kiana felt herself getting angrier the more she thought about it. If she kept going, she was going to start having a fit in the middle of the street.
Then, just as she was about to suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart, she suddenly saw a figure.
It was a woman with long, golden hair.
Generally speaking, Kiana didn't know this beautiful woman with long golden hair and an excellent figure at all.
But the moment she saw her, Kiana felt that something was off.
Miss Paramecium was sure that she hadn't fallen in love at first sight with a pretty girl.
This feeling made her heart suddenly start to pound.
And she had felt this sensation from someone else before.
My useless old dad?
No!
I've only ever felt this kind of blood connection with my useless old dad.
Why would a beautiful, blonde older sister give me this feeling... Wait, could it be!
At this moment, Kiana suddenly remembered something.
In the past, right after Siegfried had told Kiana her name, he had taught Kiana some things while drinking.
Normally, it's a very normal thing for a father to teach his daughter some knowledge.
The problem was—the knowledge Siegfried taught Kiana while drunk was 'how to pick up men'.
Anyway, from that moment on, Kiana knew that although her father was an outstanding warrior, he was essentially just a very improper old man.
And if such an improper old man had one or two illegitimate daughters... it didn't seem impossible.
Although Kiana's line of thought was very erratic, at this moment, for some reason, this was what she immediately thought.
She didn't consider at all how unreliable her reasoning was.
She didn't think at all about what questions she would ask after catching up to the golden-haired woman.
As a member of the Kaslana family, Kiana Kaslana, whose body acted before her brain, rushed out at top speed at this moment.
"Hey! Wait!"
After seeing Kiana disappear with a 'swoosh', Leo Ash, who was chasing after her, realized that the gap in their physical abilities was simply too great.
Leo Ash didn't know if the meme about hitting a Herrscher with a baseball bat was true, but considering the real Kiana could fall from a great height, suffer a severe head injury, and not die, it wasn't surprising that K423's physique was far superior to that of an ordinary person.
"Tch, to disappear at a time like this."
Taking out his phone, Leo Ash began to look around while quickly sending a message to Rita: 'K423 has disappeared near the commercial street'.
Only this time, he couldn't find any trace of K423.
[Oh, leaving without a word—what a poignant development.]
[But you firmly believe that after such a development, a Happy Ending belonging only to you will surely arrive!]
Happy my ass.
It's one thing if I can't find this silly kid, but if something happens to her, I might as well just wait for Otto to kill me.
....
In the alley, with a single blow from Siegfried, Rita was sent flying heavily into a wall.
Even though he had lost an arm to the Herrscher of the Void and his body was difficult to control due to the super-variable factors, Siegfried was still one of the strongest people in the world.
With his precise control of force, Siegfried, who could have easily demolished the entire street, accurately controlled his power to knock down the pursuer without destroying the surrounding environment.
As for dealing a fatal blow... Siegfried felt there was no need.
Almost no one in Schicksal knew Otto's true face. In the end, these comrades were just being used by Otto, just as Siegfried himself had been in the past.
"Ha, my beautiful ladies, let's end our 'date' for today here."
After picking up the phone Rita had dropped on the ground, Siegfried spoke to them in a deliberately relaxed tone.
"Otto... Heh, he's not as good as you all imagine—What!"
But at this moment, after Siegfried saw the message displayed on Rita's phone, the relaxed expression on his face suddenly vanished.
Seeing Siegfried's expression, Rita immediately realized that he must have seen some information.
Information related to K423.
Because Leo Ash had sent a text message, even if Rita's phone was locked, a sentence popped up on the screen.
Normally, with Rita's skills, she wouldn't have to worry about leaks.
In this world, Rita believed that the number of people who could snatch a phone from her hands, including the missing leader of Anti-Entropy, was no more than ten.
But today, she had run into Siegfried, who was even better at fighting than her.
What was worse, she had been forced by Otto to hold Siegfried back.
Although the other S-rank Valkyrie, Bianka, had already arranged to meet Rita nearby, and it wouldn't be difficult for her to repel Siegfried with her skills, the problem was...
Rita did not want the two of them to meet so hastily at all.
Several years ago, Otto had informed Rita that Bianka's true identity was the real Kiana Kaslana.
================
In other words, although her appearance and hair color had changed, Bianka was undoubtedly Siegfried's biological daughter.
How could Rita, who cared deeply for Bianka, possibly want Bianka to fight her own biological father?
However, after seeing the message, Siegfried took Rita's phone and ran off.
And less than thirty seconds after Siegfried put on his hood and left, Bianka appeared near Rita and the others.
Seeing the heavily injured Rita, Bianka, who had just arrived on the scene, had flames of anger instantly appear in her eyes.
"Lady Durandal..."
"Rita..."
After helping her adjutant up from the ground, Bianka asked in an incredibly furious tone.
"Who was it..."
"Who hurt you like this!"
