K423 from Dark Souls

Kiyana reached out and pressed Sirin's head, turning her head back to the direction of the cake on the table, so that Sirin's attention returned to the cake.

"Master Aurora, please also try the black tea made by Rita. If the cake is paired with black tea, the taste will be even better..."

Rita looked at Sirin whose cheeks were bulging because of the cakes, so she stood up straight, poured a cup of tea for Sirin, and handed it to Sirin.

"Ah...thank you..."

Sirin took the tea, and then drank all the tea with the cake in her mouth.

"Well... good time..."

Sirin seemed to have star eyes, so Rita couldn't help but rua on Sirin's head a few times, feeling the touch of sister sauce.

"Well... Aurora, eat the cake first. After you finish eating, I have something to tell you."

Kiyana said to Sirin, then reached out to pick up a plate of cake, grabbed a fork and ate it.

"Well...the taste is really good, Rita, you should come and eat the cake too."

"No need, Rita still wants to..."

Kiyana quickly swallowed the cake in her mouth, and when Rita explained the reason, she pulled Rita onto the sofa, then used a fork to insert a piece of cake from her own, and handed it to Rita mouth.

"Rita, come eat some!"

"Hmm... Lady Kiana is really cunning..."

Rita leaned on Kiyana's arm, with a slight smile on her face, then stretched out her hand to tie a strand of hair by her ear, and opened her mouth to eat the cake on Kiyana's fork.

"...In this case, Rita won't be able to refuse you... Lady Kiana..."

PS

"Ah! It hurts..."

In order to avoid the people eroded by the abyss roaming the streets full of black mud, Kiana deliberately sneaked along the eaves and empty houses without people.

But suddenly, because Qiyana was all focused on the monster in the distance, she kicked off and fell from the eaves into the house.

"Hmph, what a clumsy guy..."

Sirin's voice sounded from Qiyana's mind, still with the usual mockery and contempt.

"Hey, what's that thing in front of you?"

Sirin reminded Qiyana viciously, and Kiyana, who had drank the elemental bottle normally to recover from her injuries, immediately looked at the open space in front of her.

It was a very dilapidated treasure chest, and it was placed alone in this house that could be called a ruin, right in front of Qiyana's eyes.

Chapter 13 Wendy

"Sister Kiyana, what are you going to tell me?"

Unlike Aurora, who sipped the speed of Sirin, after exchanging with Sirin, she ate the cake that Sirin left for her in two mouthfuls, and then turned her head to ask Qiyana.

"Let me go and clean up the dishes first..."

Rita heard Aurora's question to Kiana, then stood up from the seat, bowed slightly to Aurora, then picked up all the tableware on the table, and walked towards the kitchen.

"Rita..."

Kiyana looked at Rita's back apologetically, then turned her head to look at Aurora seriously, and whispered to her.

"Aurora, I may have some clues about the whereabouts of the fragments of my mother's soul!"

Kiyana's voice was full of excitement, telling Aurora about such an important discovery.

"Mother's soul fragment...where is it?"

When Aurora heard the news, she was taken aback, and then happily grabbed Qiyana's wrist, and asked Qiyana quickly.

"...Two days ago, when I was preparing to submit the task report at the headquarters of Tianming, I suddenly felt the feeling of my mother's soul in the black abyss and white flowers..."

"But when I carefully perceive its position, that special feeling disappeared again. No matter how I perceive it, I can't perceive it anymore..."

"Disappeared...?"

Aurora touched her chin. It was the first time she had heard of this situation. After all, things like the soul were still too mysterious, and even she couldn't fully understand them.

"But I'm sure of..."

Qiyana clenched her fists and said to Aurora seriously.

"According to what I perceived at the time, my mother's soul must have been in this destiny... I just don't know where it is..."

"Is it in the destiny? Let me perceive it now..."

Aurora closed her eyes, and together with Sirin, filled the entire Destiny Floating Island with the perception of her soul, searching for Cecilia's soul fragments.

But after a while, Aurora opened her eyes again, looked at Qiyana, and told Qiyana a little depressed.

"Mother's soul is not in the headquarters of Tianming now..."

"but..."

Aurora closed her eyes again, felt it carefully, and then told Qiyana firmly.

"...about 2km southeast of my sister's place, there is the breath of my mother's soul, and it is very strong..."

"Southeast from here..."

Kiyana listened to the approximate location described by Aurora, recalled the surrounding maps, and then told Aurora with some doubts, the location Aurora said.

"...that location...is the archives...why was my mother's soul in that place before..."

"Archive room..."

Aurora didn't know why she was there, but she still told Qiyana well.

"...Sister Kiyana, although mother's soul seems to be no longer in the headquarters, you can also go to the archives to find out where mother's soul may have gone..."

"Well, I see."

"Mei, and Bronya, I have a task for you now..."

Theresa stood on the chair, looked at the three people in front of her, then reached out and handed a sealed portfolio to Mei.

"...I now need you to hand over this document to the head of the Oceania Branch..."

Teresa hesitated for a moment, then reached out and scratched her cheek, and said to Mei.

"Well, this is not a difficult task. If possible, help me visit a Valkyrie named Wendy."

"Wendy? I get it, but...Principal Teresa, is she...?"

Mei nodded, agreed to Theresa's request, and then asked Theresa about Wendy's identity curiously.

"Wendy is an excellent graduate of St. Freya College and my most proud student. Moreover, she has the potential to become an S-rank Valkyrie, but..."

Theresa suddenly stopped talking, then suddenly turned her back to Mei and the others, and stopped introducing Wendy to Mei and the others.

"Okay, hurry up and carry out the mission... You will know when you see her... These are all mistakes I made in the past..."

"..."

Mei and Bronya looked at Theresa who suddenly fell silent, looked at each other, then put away the file bag in their hands, and left Theresa's office.

As for Teresa who was silent, her eyes were full of deep regret, and the expression on her face was also very depressed.

"If that day... I didn't recommend you..."

"No... I'm sure I'd still recommend you go..."

"Wendy..."

somewhere garden

"See if that is the cripple from our branch..."

"Hehe... Is there a second guy in a wheelchair in our branch?"

"Hey, she's here, let's go..."

"Tch, what are you afraid of, isn't it just a piece of trash..."

Wendy sat in the special wheelchair configured for her by the experimenter, her gaze swept over the positions of the two Valkyries just now with a somewhat vacant look, her expression was indifferent and flat, as if what they were mocking was not her.

Wendy stared blankly at the two Valkyries until they were out of her sight. Wendy clenched her fists tightly and thumped her pale and slender thighs heavily.

"Sure enough... still unconscious..."

Wendy smiled helplessly, reached out and pressed on the wheel of the wheelchair, slowly pushed the wheel, and slowly left the courtyard and came to the grass outside the Oceania branch.

On the far side of the grass was a team of Valkyries undergoing a simulated combat test. Wendy was sitting in a wheelchair, quietly watching them run and fight on the grass.

"I really want..."

Unconsciously, Wendy's fists were clenched into a ball, and the bright red blood oozed from between her fingers and dripped onto the vibrant grass.

"...walking the earth again..."

PS

"Is that... a treasure chest?"

Qiyana did not see the joy of the treasure chest, but showed a dignified expression.

I saw Qiyana cautiously approaching the treasure chest and carefully looking at the treasure chest, but she didn't see anything unusual.

"Let's try cutting it first..."

Kiyana recalled the terrible experience when opening the treasure chest in the past, and finally decided to be more cautious.Qiyana dragged the big sword in her hand to the ground, and then slammed it towards the treasure chest.

The rough sword slashed heavily on the treasure chest, but did not move the treasure chest.After taking this blow, the treasure chest opened suddenly, revealing an edge full of sharp teeth.

"Sure enough, it's another treasure chest monster!"

Kiyana looked at the monster stretching its slender limbs, and recalled the scene when she was eaten by three monsters in a row when she was in Anor Londo.
