Chapter 442 Rarely Showing Emotions
Chapter 442 Rarely Showing Emotions
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong—
The school bell, which will be put into use tomorrow, rang in the night.
"Well, there's no problem with the ringtone playing."
The young loli's voice echoed in my mind, and there seemed to be some joy in her tone: "Tomorrow is the day for the students to report... Although we only recruited 10 students, it is not easy to start from scratch."
"Cecilia...our Saint Freya will definitely be a new starting point."
The owner of the memory looked at a photo in his hand.
"Alas, it has been nearly ten years. As a result, I still didn't take good care of Kiana... Now Siegfried is in exile and there is no news at all. Kiana is seriously injured and has been in a fully closed maintenance chamber for more than a year. Grandpa doesn't even allow me to visit her... not even once."
After a moment of silence, the owner of the voice continued to talk to himself: "Cecilia, of all the things we imagined together in the past, it seems that only this school has really become a reality. I hope that when Kiana recovers from her injury...she can also come here to study."
"But before that...I must improve together with the teachers and classmates here and work hard to become a competent principal."
The memory ended, and Jiang Ming and the other person's consciousness returned to the Holy Mark Space.
"Is this... Theresa-senpai's memory...?"
"Theresa...she is always working hard in her own way." Houmei's sweet and gentle voice sounded.
"Eh?"
Bianca was slightly stunned: "You can remember her, right?"
Houmu said: "To be precise, when you accessed the memory, you automatically passed your understanding of her to us."
Hou La also said: "I told you before, we are freer beings, and we can even learn some things that you don't know through the memories you have accessed."
Looking at Jiang Ming who was holding her right hand and calculating with his eyes closed, Bianca wanted to ask him for more information: "So... do you know the origin and operation principle of this space?"
Hou La shook his head: "That's not the case. I guess that would require some stronger memory stimulation, such as... the last moments of a key figure?"
Houmu suddenly interrupted: "Hey! If you want to recall more things, you don't necessarily need such sad memories, right?"
"But the stimulation is definitely necessary."
"Humph, nonsense! I want to see a warm and happy ending, a happy ending!" Houm retorted loudly.
"Oh, is this what they call 'Only Alice can defeat the Queen of Hearts'?"
Houmu was a little confused when he heard this: "Hey! Are you scolding me in words I don't understand?"
Hou La felt a little aggrieved: "Ah? I was clearly praising you, you haven't read that fairy tale book at all, have you?!"
The two childlike puppets were quarreling among themselves, but this made people feel that the relationship between them was really good.
“Pfft, she is indeed praising you. This sentence conveys a message that no matter how great the difficulties and challenges we face, as long as we maintain courage, wisdom and kindness, we can overcome all obstacles and achieve justice and peace. Therefore, saying [Only Alice can defeat the Queen of Hearts] is not only an affirmation of Alice’s personal ability, but also a celebration of the power of courage, wisdom and justice.”
"And if you want a perfect happy ending, all of the above are indispensable." Bianca explained with a smile.
"Haha, kids are always like this."
"Yeah, how should I put it... Just a few years ago, I seemed to be just like the red one, easily quarreling with others no matter what I did." Bianca recalled.
"But now you are already quite capable and mature. You yourself... you must have experienced a lot and shouldered a lot in the past few years of growing taller and older."
Even with the body of a doll, one can see the kindness in Hou's beautiful eyes: "The more children demand of themselves, the more they insist on their own values...the more they will experience drastic personality changes as they grow up."
"It's actually good. I just kept moving forward and before I knew it I had become what I am now. That's the price of growing up, isn't it?"
"Maybe. After all, life always makes us pay various prices... So, are you going to move on?"
"Well, call those two quarreling guys. I can set off at any time." Bianca gently squeezed Jiang Ming's left hand again, indicating that he could move on.
Jiang Ming opened his eyes, narrowed them slightly, exhaled gently, and took them to the next memory device.
This time, it was the memory of Otto's conversation with Siegfried.
It was shortly after the end of the Second Honkai Impact, and Otto talked about Cecilia and their daughter Kiana.
But this conversation was a threat as well as a warning.
Then there are memories of Siegfried and Cecilia traveling to Bali for their honeymoon.
Both are memories unfolded by Siegfried.
It’s just that the first one tells the story of the breakdown of a family, while the second one tells the story of what the family should have been like. Even though the timelines are different, it seems to better reflect the regrets of this family.
"Alas... beautiful memories, isn't it? But that Bishop Otto ruined it all." Hou La said with regret.
"...I have always known that he has let down everyone in this family." Bianca's voice also sounded a little low.
Hou La gradually became more aggressive: "Then you should also know that you have to go back and beat him up no matter what, right?"
“From the results, it is true.”
Even though she knew she was the real Kiana Kaslana, Bianca still tried to control her emotions and remained calm: "It's just...someone has told me that people can't just think about the results. That will make a person ignore many meanings in this world."
Hou La seemed to know that he couldn't win the argument with her: "Well, to you, the bishop cannot be meaningless. Really, why do you have to live in such pain?"
"...I think everyone doesn't want to live a life that is too contradictory, but the world itself... is indeed full of contradictions." Bianca seemed to be explaining.
“Sometimes we choose one side of a contradiction, and sometimes the exact opposite. These decisions drive our lives, but they also create new contradictions. The world moves forward in this helpless cycle.”
Hou La surrendered completely: "Well, it seems that you are not only a Valkyrie who is good at fighting, but you can even transform yourself and speak like a philosopher."
Bianca continued: "These words are indeed spoken by a philosopher. If you have the chance, you will also be able to see her figure in my memory."
"..."
Hou La frowned slightly: "I think that what you just said has penetrated into your values and has been completely internalized. But I can actually be considered your peer, right? Don't you regret that you don't live like a teenage girl?"
Bianca retorted: "A teenage girl must look like a teenage girl?"
"what?"
Faced with Bianca's suddenly aggressive tone, Hou La was a little hasty for a moment.
"I am who I am. I can't turn myself into someone else. From the moment I became a Valkyrie, I had already decided how my future life would be like. We are supposed to be the most powerful warriors in the world. We must always be prepared - ready to fight, ready to give everything, ready to carry the unfinished fate of others on our shoulders."
"In order to always maintain this awareness and contribute my own strength to it, I don't care whether I look like a teenage girl or not. I just know that this is what I should do and what I have to do."
"Honey.....?."
Jiang Ming suddenly stopped the means he was using, gently called the girl's nickname, and looked at her worriedly.
"what......"
Bianca realized that she was showing a rare bit of emotion.
