Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

Durandal had been feeling rather strange since she woke up.

She felt like she had encountered something extraordinary.

But the memory fragments in the Stigmata space didn't lie.

She was indeed Siegfried and Cecilia's biological daughter.

This made Durandal feel like she was witnessing the passing of the torch of the S-rank Valkyrie family.

It also made her feel very uncomfortable. She wasn't an orphan, and yet she had personally experienced what it felt like to be one.

Was there anything more ridiculous than this?

"Sigh…"

"Lady Durandal, is something troubling you?"

Rita didn't know Durandal's exact situation. But she felt like Durandal had a secret.

There was a thick, tragic wall between them.

"Rita, I'm different now," Durandal sighed and said, "I was just an ordinary S-rank Valkyrie born as a commoner."

'What are you talking about?'

Rita was stunned by this sudden humblebrag.

"Lady Durandal, aren't you the pride of all Valkyries? What does it have to do with your origins?"

Durandal looked at Rita resentfully, patted her shoulder, and said, "But it's different now…"

"What's different?"

Rita was even more confused. It felt like she was trapped in some kind of dream.

"Now, I'm the rightful heir of the Kaslana and Schariac families, and I'm no longer that commoner representing Valkyries, who came from an orphanage. If everyone finds out about this, how much of a blow would it be to them?!"

Durandal thought that she definitely couldn't let her admirers know about this. She had to keep it a secret.

"What?! What's going on?! Lady Durandal, what are you talking about?!"

Rita couldn't process it. She felt like Durandal was still humblebragging.

Although Lady Durandal was a tsundere, she was the straightforward type. Suddenly saying that she was the heir of two great families, having grown up in an orphanage… if you didn't know any better, you'd think she was the protagonist of some female-oriented story.

Kiana Kaslana from the Nagazora City Empire was already in another strange situation.

"Wait, no, how did you even know about this?"

Rita came back to her senses. She was surprised that Durandal knew about her identity, and also surprised at Durandal's attitude after learning about it.

"I participated in the Kaslana family reunion in the Stigmata space. I saw the past generations of Kaslana ancestors there, and I even saw Siegfried's memories of his daughter."

"Although he doesn't know if I'm still alive, he knows that other than Mr. Noldrei from Nagazora City, who can do so with living Stigmata, only a true Kaslana can enter the Kaslana family Stigmata space."

"And I learned this from the Kaslana Stigmata will."

Durandal's words made Rita feel helpless.

So, she was always in the same chat group as the other Kaslanas?

This really was…

As Rita was considering whether or not she should report such an important matter to Overseer Otto, Durandal had already decided to ask Otto directly.

"I'm going to ask the Overseer about this and see what he plans to do."

"Are you sure you want to ask?" Rita didn't think it was a good idea.

"It's okay. If that doesn't work, then I'll have Mr. Noldrei create a living Stigmata for Overseer Otto. Then he can just go to the Kaslana Stigmata space and see for himself."

Durandal's words almost broke Rita.

Rita had long suspected that Otto had fully understood artificial Stigmata.

If Otto wanted to enter the Kaslana Stigmata space, he could. If Otto didn't want to go himself, it could only mean that he had other plans and ideas.

"I think the Overseer should have been inside the Stigmata space, especially since he obtained quite a bit of information regarding Stigmata from the Second Herrscher. If he didn't have enough understanding of Stigmata, the Overseer wouldn't have been able to create artificial Stigmata."

Rita's words made Durandal hesitate for a moment.

"Indeed, Rita."

Durandal was quite convinced by Rita's speculation.

"So, whether you tell Lady Durandal or not, it's basically the same. And that's the Kaslana family Stigmata space, so it should be quite beneficial to you."

Durandal's hesitation was only momentary. She had other questions for Otto.

Mainly about her identity.

Regardless of the changes in her identity, as a Valkyrie, Durandal would fight against Honkai to the end. She didn't really care about this, but…

Suddenly having a younger sister did make her feel slightly concerned.

Especially since her younger sister was now a giant tentacle monster.

Imagine, suddenly someone told you that a tentacle monster was your family, wouldn't you be stunned?

'I'm Related to an Evil God?'

She mainly wanted to know what had happened to her 'sister.'

"Rita, what kind of gifts do you think a tentacle monster would like?"

This question stumped Rita. How would she know what a tentacle monster liked? If she knew, perhaps her chastity would no longer be safe.

But Rita thought about Noldrei. He was someone with chaotic hobbies and thoughts, seemingly having a unique fondness for exposed flesh.

However, she couldn't tell Durandal about this hobby.

"A… a pony?"

Rita thought for a while and gave a definite answer.

"Rita, I heard that tentacle monsters usually like women, don't they? Why would it be a pony?"

Durandal wasn't sure if she remembered correctly, but she seemed to have seen something similar in online forums in Japan.

'What have you been looking at?! What has defiled our pure Lady Durandal?!'

Rita felt a surge of jealousy. She was also worried that Durandal would develop some strange fetish like Doctor Tesla.

"There's no other way. Since you want to know… then I, Rita, can only make a trip and ask on your behalf."

Rita embraced the idea of sacrificing herself. She had no other options.

That useless Bronya just kept asking her how she was, and Theresa was messing around somewhere.

And Otto? Overseer Otto had obtained something good and was engrossed in his research.

Only she, only she, Rita, was the loyal maid who truly cared about Lady Durandal!
