Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

"The Honkai energy has disappeared. Nagazora City has suddenly become quiet..."

Theresa looked at the Honkai energy monitoring instruments, racking her brain trying to figure out why this had happened.

"Should I go down and investigate?"

The floating warship was currently hovering over Nagazora City. Murata Himeko also wanted to know what exactly had happened in Nagazora City.

"No, it's best if we don't act rashly for now. Has Raiden Mei been found?"

Theresa didn't agree with Himeko's suggestion to investigate. Especially when they didn't even know if the other party was human, they needed to stay calm and not act recklessly.

Murata Himeko was still observing the 'enforcement recordings' left behind by the local Valkyries.

The way Raiden Mei turned into liquid and scooped up that girl was truly beyond her imagination. Especially the fact that she could vaguely see organs like a brain, eyes, and mouth inside her body.

These organs were much softer than she imagined. At least, a normal person's eyes couldn't be squished flat and still move.

"Although I don't know what happened, the disappearance of the Honkai energy reaction is a good thing... right?"

Murata Himeko wasn't sure. She couldn't figure out what had sucked away and controlled the Honkai energy.

"Is it really a good thing? The earlier the Honkai outbreak, the less damage it causes, and the weaker the Herrscher abilities that are born. Similarly, the later the outbreak, the more developed the civilization, and the stronger the Herrscher that will be born."

Theresa was stating the common knowledge about the Honkai that was taught within Schicksal.

"But, is that really the case?"

The little white-haired nun wasn't sure. She didn't think the Honkai was that stupid, and that suppressing the development of civilization was just a bunch of nonsense.

Could the Honkai not see the huge warship floating in the sky?

Or was it that the Honkai's warships weren't created by humans using materials and talent?

Wasn't Schicksal part of civilization? Weren't Valkyries part of genetic technology?

Theresa occasionally thought about similar questions, but she really couldn't figure out why such a strange scene had appeared in Nagazora City.

Her brain wasn't capable of analyzing the results from the current information.

Compared to Theresa, who had only one body and had to be careful with her actions, her grandfather's behavior was much more unrestrained. Otto had already rushed to Nagazora City overnight.

He had initially had some leads on K423's whereabouts, and he also knew a little about Siegfried's situation.

But now, both of these men had lost their important people.

They were currently meeting at Chiba Academy in Nagazora City.

Siegfried saw the blonde, long-haired, and somewhat flamboyant Otto approaching him in the school corridor.

"Long time no see, old friend!"

"Where's my daughter?!"

"Let's talk about Raiden Mei."

"Where's my daughter?! Where did you take my daughter?!"

"Your daughter is fine, I didn't do anything to her!"

"I don't care! Where's my daughter?! If I can't see her, then something must have happened."

"Old friend, are you serious? Wasn't it you who lost her while taking care of her?"

Otto thought Siegfried was being ridiculous. He was taking good care of Siegfried's other daughter, but Siegfried had lost this white-haired daughter.

The Overseer was speechless. He was already being very polite by not scolding him.

K423 was a key existence that he had carefully prepared for the Second Herrscher.

"Perhaps, I can help you look for her?"

Siegfried's face was covered in stubble, it was clear he hadn't shaved in a while. After not receiving any news about Kiana from Chiba Academy, he had rushed over as quickly as possible.

Kiana herself had used the identity he had given her to come to Chiba Academy. But now, Chiba Academy said they had never seen her, and that no such girl had ever registered.

A white-haired, blue-eyed girl as noticeable as her hadn't registered, which had scared Siegfried.

"How are you going to look? Stop playing on your phone!"

Siegfried said, dissatisfied, as he watched Otto scrolling through videos on his phone.

Otto nodded, then shook his head and said, "Perhaps, we can use a video app?"

He opened a live-streaming app. The most popular headline on the app wasn't the Raiden Mei assault that had been suppressed by Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.

It was "The Emperor's Coronation in Nagazora City."

"There, found her, your daughter is here."

Otto turned his phone to face Siegfried, pointing at Kiana, who was crowning a man with a plastic crown.

"Look, isn't that your daughter? Your daughter is live-streaming shenanigans."

"So far, many live-streamers have started coronations in Nagazora City. Your daughter is one of them. She seems to be having a lot of fun."

Otto hadn't expected to see such a scene when he rushed over.

He thought that even if he wasn't investigating the Honkai, he would at least be investigating the school.

But things were just that absurd. Kiana Kaslana was live-streaming a coronation with a boy he didn't recognize, and who Schicksal had no information on.

'What the heck are you two doing?'

"This is Nagazora Street, oh wait, there isn't a Nagazora Street yet. They temporarily found a street to use instead. From now on, it'll be called the legendary Nagazora Street."

"Their live stream is the most popular because they have three horses with them... this is a rare and major performance. They must be very wealthy to afford this. But, is that boy not your illegitimate son?"

Siegfried looked at the white hair and blue eyes that were unique to the Kaslana family, and the face that was quite similar to his own when he was younger.

His brain completely froze.

What was going on?

Wasn't the Kaslana family almost extinct? Who was this that suddenly appeared?

"Remember to leave a gift if you're watching the coronation! I'll have Twilight Sparkle do a somersault for everyone! Please give us lots of tips! Our Nagazora Empire is about to take office, and after that, you won't be able to see the emperor's true face again!"

"Don't miss it! Rainbow Dash and Applejack, don't be shy, say hello to everyone!"

The two horses clearly had a strong resistance, and almost kicked Kiana.

Siegfried watched the absurd activities on the live stream, and almost fainted from anger.

"Can they even do that without reins?"

[This unicorn's horn looks so realistic!]

[That rainbow-colored mane is so cool, I want to dye my horse too!]

[Okay, okay, more horses, let that man get off the screen!]

[Isn't that My Little Pony? Did they spend a lot of money on the cosplay? I want to ride Twilight Sparkle!]

[You better just want to ride the horse... and not be a furry pervert.]

Siegfried was stunned for a long time, and suddenly had no more expectations for the Kaslana family's legacy.
