The group members said goodbye one by one and left here to return to their own world.
Ling Yuan was not in a hurry to go back.
Sitting on the swing in the garden, Xiao Hongyu sat in her arms.
The two of them were sitting on the swing, swaying gently under the moonlight.
Morgana stood respectfully beside him.
There are obviously two swings, but the other party is unwilling to sit down no matter what he says.
Looking at the lake not far away, there was a mother and daughter having a heart-to-heart talk.
Kiana looked at Cecilia very reluctantly.
She didn't know when they would see each other next time.
Maybe forever...
"It's incredible."
Looking at the moon reflected in the lake, Cecilia said with a gentle expression.
In Kiana's confused expression
Cecilia's voice came slowly: "It's obviously the first time we've met, but I feel like we've known each other for a long time."
The bright moonlight fell on Cecilia's body.
The silver hair moved with the wind, looking like a moonlight goddess in Kiana's sky-blue pupils.
At this moment, there was only one sentence in Kiana's mind.
'My mom, she's so beautiful!'
"Miss Cecilia, why do you want to become a Valkyrie?" Kiana asked after a moment of silence.
Cecilia smiled.
Kiana is not the only one to ask this question.
Nicholas, Salome, and Kirara Shigure all asked the same question.
Cecilia said slowly: "Kiana, as the daughter of the head of the Shaniyat family, I actually have no chance to choose at all. From the moment I was born, I have been burdened with responsibilities that are not mine."
"but……"
Kiana: "But?"
After a pause, Cecilia continued:
"When I was six years old, that year, there was a small collapse in New Zealand, killing hundreds of thousands of people."
"As a saint of destiny, I am naturally ordered by the bishop to go to the edge of collapse to carry out search and rescue operations."
"That's when I really witnessed the tragedy of Honkai Impact for the first time..."
"Collapse, tragedy?"
Kiana lowered her head. From the moment Siren came out, the Honkai Impact spread rapidly, causing a lot of grief, right?
Cecilia didn't notice the change in Kiana's face. She looked at the moon reflected on the lake and showed a helpless and lonely expression:
"After hearing that I was the saint of destiny, many people kneeled down in front of me regardless of anything, begging me to save their families. However, despite those identities, I am just an ordinary person...I'm sorry, I
There is no ability to save their families."
"Miss Cecilia..."
"It was also from that moment on that I truly realized my responsibility."
"Precisely because I am a saint and carry everyone's expectations, I must do better." Cecilia said calmly, but her words were full of determination.
This is probably why she is always the first to rush forward.
After saying that, Cecilia looked at Kiana: "Kiana, I can feel that there is a very powerful force in your body. Don't be nervous. I just used the Black Abyss White Flower to sense it."
Kiana smiled helplessly.
How could I be nervous about you? You are my mother...
"I believe the same is true for you. If you face up to your own strength, you should have some unfinished things, right?"
"You have a stability that is different from your age. I know that you must have experienced many not-so-good things."
Kiana was stunned.
Cecilia stretched out her hand and gently wrapped the hair around Kiana's face around the ends.
He said softly: "The place shrouded in darkness will also receive sunshine."
"The world may not be a beautiful place, but it's not that bad either."
"Because there is always someone waiting for me to go back."
Cecilia turned around, looked at Kiana, and chuckled: "You should have someone waiting for you to go home, Kiana."
Kiana was startled and subconsciously called out the name: "Mei..."
"Mei? It seems that that's the person you care about the most." Cecilia teased.
"But, I did something very excessive to them! If I go back, I will probably hurt them again..." Kiana said with a painful look on her face.
Xilin's situation is very unstable. She has already hurt Mei and the others once.
She doesn't want to do it a second time...
Just when Kiana was in pain, a warm hand pressed on her head and stroked her gently.
Kiana raised her head blankly and saw Cecilia looking at her tenderly.
"You don't have to carry everything yourself; life is like a book, and the tragic page can be completely opened."
"In this dark world, you need to light the way home yourself."
"..."
...
Time flies
Soon it was time to leave.
Kiana looked at Cecilia who smiled and waved to her, and reluctantly entered the space passage.
Ling Yuan knelt down and smiled at Morgana beside Hongyu: "Morgana, during my absence, you have to protect little Hongyu for me."
"I will, Lord Lingyuan." Morgana nodded respectfully.
"Brother Lingyuan, come and play again next time." Hongyu said.
After touching Xiao Hongyu's head, Ling Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Hongyu, you must be familiar with the power of the devil. You can come see me at any time after you earn points."
As he said that, he looked at Morgana aside: "You also have to work hard. The power of the attachment weapon will not be inferior to that of the metal weapon."
"I understand, Lord Lingyuan!"
"Don't be too formal. From now on you can call me Brother Lingyuan just like Xiao Hongyu. Of course, it's not impossible for Onii-chan too."
"Onii-chan?"
"So good." He smiled and rubbed Morgana's head.
The little lion showed an expression of enjoyment.
She had been directly grabbed by the hair before, but this was the first time she felt such a warm touch.
After saying goodbye to a few people
Ling Yuan closed the space channel.
Turning around, I saw Kiana who couldn't hold back her tears.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, just a little bit sad to finally see my mother, but she has to leave so soon..."
Kiana wiped the tears from her face.
Ling Yuan smiled helplessly.
But it’s not that I can’t understand it.
For Kiana, who has lacked maternal love and security since childhood.
Today's experience is enough for her to remember forever.
Just like that, Ling Yuan rubbed Kiana's head and said something incomprehensible under Kiana's unclear gaze.
"May all good things be blessed."
…
Following the space passage, the two returned to Kiana's room.
"It's getting late, go to bed early."
After the words fell, the imaginary number space opened, and Ling Yuan took a step forward.
Disappeared into the room.
In the room
Kiana stood by the window and stared blankly at the bright moon in the sky.
The previous conversation with Cecilia was recalled in my mind.
