After knocking everyone out, Kiana dusted off her hands.
These pebbles weren't even worth her time.
Even if they had a hundred years to catch up, they'd never reach her level.
"Kiana, you..."
"Oops, sorry you had to see my violent side, Mei-senpai."
Kiana scratched her head and stuck out her tongue playfully.
"No, I was just amazed at how strong you are. Also, just call me Mei from now on. Adding 'senpai' feels too distant."
"Yay! Then... Mei?"
"Mm."
Under the setting sun, the white-haired girl hugged the aloof Raiden Queen of Senba Academy.
The two walked off together under the sunset's glow.
Meanwhile, the thugs and the girl slowly woke up.
But when they did, they found themselves surrounded.
The people surrounding them bore a symbol known worldwide.
The emblem of Schicksal.
"You're... Schicksal?"
"That's none of your concern. Your family members are involved in large-scale fraud, bribery, embezzlement, and more. We're here to arrest you."
"No way! My parents would never do that! And what evidence do you have? Show me the evidence!"
"I don't have time to explain to you. You brought this on yourself by messing with the wrong person."
The Schicksal officers handcuffed everyone without hesitation.
Only then did they realize that the white-haired girl they had tried to beat up was connected to Schicksal.
Regret filled their hearts, but there was no turning back now.
Kiana and Mei, unaware of what had happened, continued on their way.
Kiana moved into Mei's house under the pretext of making sure Mei didn't do anything reckless again.
"Kiana, make yourself at home. I'll go cook."
Putting down her bag, Mei went to the kitchen and put on an apron.
The moment she tied it, a warm, wifely aura enveloped her, leaving Kiana staring in awe.
After collecting herself, Kiana wandered around the house.
She eventually found her way to the second floor and discovered a bedroom.
After making sure Mei wasn't around, Kiana opened the door with a sly grin.
Seeing the room's decor, which matched Mei's style perfectly, Kiana knew it was Mei's room.
"It smells so good... Mei's room smells amazing. Hehe."
Kiana flopped onto Mei's bed, rolling around and even sniffing the blanket.
What she didn't know was that, except for certain private moments, her every move was being watched by her parents.
"..." x2
Siegfried and Cecilia exchanged glances, suspecting that their daughter had picked up some bad habits during her travels.
They even wondered if Otto had messed up the DNA when creating this artificial human.
Otherwise, why would their daughter be so... perverted?
"Dad, I'm going shopping with Rita. Do you need us to pick up anything?"
"...No."
Seeing Durandal being escorted by Rita, Siegfried fell silent for a moment before replying calmly.
He seemed to have discovered something.
"Oh, and Sirin wants to borrow your Judgement of Shamash. She says she wants to make Bella some 'Heavenly Fire Toast.'"
"...Fine."
Another moment of silence. Siegfried then remembered that Sirin and Bella's relationship wasn't exactly normal.
They used to be friends, but later, Bella started calling Sirin "Queen" and would sometimes gaze at her with an infatuated look.
Sirin didn't mind and even let Bella sleep in her bed because she was afraid of the dark.
Just thinking about it, even with his Kaslana brain, Siegfried could figure out what was going on.
Damn it, if his little daughter had two lesbian genes, wouldn't that double the lesbian tendencies?
Now Siegfried finally understood why his daughter was a lesbian.
"Whatever, kids have their own paths. Besides, that Raiden girl seems nice."
Rubbing his temples, Siegfried let out a long sigh.
After a lifetime of brilliance, he was destined to have no heirs despite having two daughters.
It seemed the heavens didn't want his superior genes to continue.
"Hmm~, Yuan, how's my cooking? Has it gotten worse? Don't say yes~?."
Placing the last dish on the table, Elysia blinked playfully at Chang Yuan.
"No, your cooking has always been this good. It's delicious."
What he cared about wasn't the food, but the person who made it.
As long as it was made by her, it would always taste like her.
"Hmph, I knew it. A beautiful girl's cooking only gets better, never worse~?."
Sitting down, Elysia served herself and Chang Yuan a bowl of rice.
"Here, this is your favorite beef stew. I spent a long time learning how to make it."
She picked the largest, most flavorful piece of beef and placed it in Chang Yuan's bowl, staring at him intently.
Under Elysia's expectant gaze, Chang Yuan took a bite.
After chewing slowly, he swallowed.
"It's delicious. You should try some too."
"Yay! Hehe, but I want you to feed me~?."
"Of course."
"Hmph~?."
Meanwhile, in an unknown underground laboratory.
"Finally, after analyzing a million samples, I've concluded that ordinary humans fused with Asura DNA don't exhibit the ability to split into multiple bodies.
What they gain is the ability to wield multiple powers and an attraction to other MANTIS warriors with similar DNA.
So, that must have been her doing, right? It's too similar to be a coincidence. Hehe, I hope he smiles when he hears this."
Taking off her glasses, 'Expert' Vill-V let out a long sigh of relief.
Over the years, she hadn't just been accompanying her so-called daughters on their adventures.
She had also been searching for humans with Asura DNA, the closer to Chang Yuan's the better.
Because something about that moment had always felt off.
Now she finally had her answer.
No wonder it felt strange back then, and why the imitation was so perfect.
It was the real deal all along.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
Beside her, Skadi tugged at 'Expert' Vill-V's sleeve and pointed to her mouth.
