Chapter 3: An Identity
"....So, what now?" Obito asked Siegfried as they walked through the snow while Siegfried carried his daughter. They were heading to the nearest Town.
".... I'll have to leave Kiana, me being near her may trigger the Herrscher to appear again" He signed reluctant as he looked at the peaceful sleeping face of his daughter.
"Isn't that bad? Leaving a child like her alone?" Obito asked as he clenched his hands tightly, he was angry.
".....It is....I don't want to do this." Siegfried admitted as he looked downcast "But, I can't stay with Kiana" He sighed the looked at Obito "But, who said she'll be alone?" He asked with a grin, Obito had a slight premonition
"You're here, aren't you?" Siegfried grinned at him "You just met me!" Obito rebuked "How could you even think of leaving your daughter with a stranger like me?!" Obito asked angrily
Siegfried just smiled as he heard Obito's question, "Because, although I may not be the greatest at judging people, you're different, I can feel it" He grinned "And, usually people don't go around risking their own lives to save random people they've never met" Siegfried smiled
"... I'm not from this World" Obito sighed as he looked at Siegfried's firm and determined eyes "I'm from a different world, a world of ninjas" He said to Siegfried who looked confused
"....In our world, there's an energy called Chakra, Chakra is the resulting form of energy when physical energy and spiritual energy are mixed together." Obito continued despite Siegfried's confusion "And those who utilise such power in our world are called Ninjas, Ninjas are coldblooded people who kill for their living, they also managed to weaponize Chakra to make Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Taijutsu" He continued ignoring Siegfried's ever growing confusion "I'm a Ninja" He finished as he looked at Siegfried, he'd basically summarised Chakra and what Ninjas are for Siegfried.
"So, you're from another world?! That's so cool!" Siegfried said as Obito almost stumbled on his own feet and looked incredulously at Siegfried "Did you not understand what I meant?! No, how are you so accepting of this?!" He asked him.
"Herrschers and Honkai exist, other Worlds shouldn't be that much of a surprise" Siegfried shrugged as if this was just another Tuesday while Obito just gawked at him. "So, what you're trying to say is you're from another world and you're a cold blooded killer?" Siegfried asked Obito with a grin "If you were cold blooded like you said, you wouldn't have saved me and the other Valkyries" He grinned cheerfully at Obito.
".... I'm speechless" Obito said with a resigned smile "So, what's your plan from now?" He asked Siegfried who handed Kiana over to Obito who cradled her in his arms
"My plan? I plan to go to Anti-Entropy, they owe me after all" Siegfried said as he gently stroked Kiana's face gently then took his hand away with reluctance. "And, since you're from another World, you probably don't have an Identity or anything at all, you probably don't even know what Honkai is" He said to Obito.
"I'll ask Anti-Entropy to prepare an Identity for you and I'll also ask them to send you a file or something about Honkai" Siegfried said with a strained smile as he looked at Obito "....Take care of my daughter for me Obito" he said as he patted Obito on the shoulder.

"You're just 15?!"

{ In a Town in Siberia }
Obito and Siegfried sat in a Hospital Ward with Kiana lying on the bed as they talked to a short, blue haired woman who was sitting opposite to them.
"....So, from another world?" The blue haired woman, Einstein asked Obito who nodded in reply "Yes, I'm from another World"
".... It's unexpected but, not unacceptable" Einstein nodded, she felt that with the existence of Honkai and Herrschers, another World didn't seem so far-fetched.
"WHAT DO YOU ALL MEAN BY BEING SO ACCEPTING?! HE'S LITERALLY FROM ANOTHER WORLD!" Yelled the holographic video call of a short, red haired woman, Tesla
"....See, that should be the normal reaction of people" Obito said referring to Tesla who was making a mess of what seemed to be her office
"Oh" That was all Siegfried said as Einstein merely nodded, both of them somehow extraordinarily calm
"Anyways, what about my Identity? I don't have one" Obito said as all three ignored Tesla as they continued their conversation
"Ah, I already took a picture earlier" Einstein said without changing her ever-present cool expression as she showed him a photo of him, it was a good photo in his opinion as Obito nodded.
"Your identity will be arranged by tomorrow, you'll be Obito Uchiha, an Orphan whose parents died in the large scale meteor fall a few years ago." She said referring to what he thinks is The Second Honkai Eruption "The rest of your background will be fabricated and we'll inform you about it later"
"Thank you" Obito thanked her as Siegfried just patted him on his back "Take care of Kiana for me, if she gets hurt, I'll hunt you down to the ends of the Earth" Siegfried said as he looked at Obito seriously but had a smile on his face.
"If you're so worried, why are you leaving her?" Einstein shook her head as she asked Siegfried who sighed, all of them understood the reason. "Still, I'll send some living expenses to you Monthly" Einstein said as she then gave him a Bank Card "It has only 25,000 Dollars, the rest will be sent to you later" She said as Obito felt his brain crash 'Only 25,000?!'
"..... Isn't that, a lot?" Obito asked with his eyes twitching as, although he wasn't an Adult, he still knew that most of the expenses of a household annually would be around 6,000 to 7,000 dollars.
"Not really, it's barely enough. I'll send the rest to you tomorrow along with some documents about Honkai and some common sense of our world" Einstein said calmly as Siegfried nodded "Yeah, I usually use it up within a week" Siegfried sighed as Obito had the urge to punch someone in the face.
"....Okay....." Obito said as he took deep breaths and thought maybe, maybe this world had a different value for the currency
"Here" Siegfried said as he handed him a slim smartphone that looked hi-tech with a black case and a red streak that went diagonally on the phone case. "You do know what a phone is, right?"
"Of course I know what a phone is!" Obito said as he took the phone from Siegfried's hands and turned it on to see the logo, an inverted and horizontal 'S', the Anti-Entropy Logo.
"That's the latest model of smartphones developed by Anti-Entropy, it can block all attempts at tracking, it has a high-speed network connection and you can also use it to access Anti-Entropy's database, although the level of information you can access depends on your Rank" Einstein explained to Obito who had registered his voice pattern, finger prints, Face structure and also his iris.
'That's a lot of precautions' Obito thought as he looked at the contact information available on it, Einstein, Tesla, Welt. "Wait, where's your contact?" He asked Siegfried who just smiled
".....I can't give you my contact, what if Kiana wants to contact me and you hand it over to her?" Siegfried asked Obito and received a punch in the face in reply "I've been wanting to do that for a while." Obito said as Siegfried covered his nose as he looked at Obito with confusion.
"....You know, you're a Goddamn terrible father" Obito began "You're going to leave your daughter alone with a person you've never met before. Okay, I can understand it if you say that I had saved you. But, You're not even going to contact your daughter who for all that she'll know is now in the hands of a stranger and her father disappeared" He said angrily as he looked at Siegfried "I could barely understand you leaving her but, to not even let her contact you?!" He asked anger evident on his face "What were you planning to do if I wasn't here?! Were you just planning to abandon her and let her survive alone?!" He asked as he grabbed Siegfried's collar as Siegfried looked away guilty.
"...You actually were?" Obito asked in disbelief as he looked at Siegfried "Contact, give it" he said as he gave his new phone to Siegfried "I'll let Kiana talk to you when she's awake, just tell something like you have to go on a buisness trip or something" Obito said annoyed as Siegfried gave him the contact information as Einstein nodded in approval and Tesla who had finally calmed down also nodded appreciatively.
