Honkai Impact: I will save everything alone

Chapter 102: Cub

Kirataka pushed open the door and came to Sirin's room.

Sirin's room is unexpectedly full of fairy-tale atmosphere. The walls of the room are dotted with various star elements, giving it a magical girl feel.

The heavy curtains blocked all the sunlight, and only a little light that refused to give up overflowed from the corners that could not be covered or concealed, bringing a little light to this small room.

But from another perspective, such a dark environment is also very suitable for rest.

Kirataka walked to the girl's bed with unnoticeable footsteps and looked at her sleeping face.

At this moment, the purple-haired girl was sleeping on the bed, lying on her side, curled up into a small ball.

Like a dormant young animal, it looks very distressing.

Perhaps because she has been subjected to inhumane treatment for many years, she instinctively likes this sleeping position, which can give her a certain sense of security.

According to Su, she would temporarily erase Sirin's unpleasant memories of the past in this illusion, allowing her to experience the life of a normal person here.

His and Seele's mission is to fulfill her inner desire.

But, it's really amazing...

He really didn't expect that on his journey to the Quantum Sea in search of Seele, he would accidentally meet Sirin, who came from an unknown world, and Su, who came from an unknown world.

By some strange coincidence, he stepped into such a wonderful and unreal scene.

Well... Anyway, let him think about how to wake Sirin up...

Although they are not the same person, thinking back on how he interacts with Kiana, it is better to use a more natural approach.

So Kirataka came to the bed and quickly opened the curtains, allowing a large amount of sunlight to shine into the small room.

The soft sunlight fell on the bed, on the purple hair and the pretty face, bringing the girl who was in a beautiful dream back to "reality".

"Hmm—"

The girl murmured unconsciously.

She opened her eyes, and her beautiful golden eyes looked at Kirataka.

There was still a hint of confusion in the girl's eyes when she first woke up.

Ignoring the dazed Sirin, he walked to the bedside, reached out and tapped her head gently, and said:

"Wake up, lazy bum."

"Ouch, it hurts…"

The purple-haired girl sat up, covering her forehead with her hands, feeling a little aggrieved, and the confusion in her eyes disappeared.

She glared at Kirataka, who had woken her up, with a vicious look, stretched out one of her jade feet from the warm quilt, and kicked him lightly.

"Damn, Dad!"

Well, it is indeed the same style as Kiana. No, considering the age order, it should be the same style as Kiana and Sirin.

While sighing at this familiar tone in his heart, Kirataka said righteously:

"Okay, get up quickly. Even though today is a day off, you can't sleep until almost noon, right?"

He was right about this. The girl on the bed immediately frowned, pouted, and said:

"I know, I know. I'll change my clothes, you get out now!"

"Okay, okay…"

After being kicked out by the purple-haired girl, Kirataka showed a helpless expression.

——Seele has no experience of being a mother, and he actually has no experience of being a father either.

He really has no idea how to get along with Sirin with this identity.

Just as he walked out of the door, he saw a line of beautiful handwriting on the wall opposite Sirin's door:

"Please keep up the good work, Mr. Kirataka~ By the way, how does it feel to be called Dad?"

A few seconds after Kirataka saw this sentence, its font slowly faded away, as if it had never existed.

Needless to say, this sentence must have come from a lady who was watching this illusion in the audience.

But…

Kirataka's mouth twitched slightly.

What is this? Real-time bullet screen?

The personality of this female Su was quite different from that of the sage he knew who kept his eyes closed most of the time and spoke profound and difficult words.

He felt like she was probably more of a neutral and entertaining person.

However, what she asked was indeed that it was somewhat strange to be addressed like that by a beautiful girl in her prime.

"…"

Kirataka shook his head and threw the thought away.

No, no, no, he doesn't have that kind of special fetish... really!

......

Inside the villa's kitchen.

"It's too big. I'm not used to it..."

In this spacious and somewhat exaggerated kitchen, Seele began cooking somewhat awkwardly.

After drifting in the sea for more than a year, she hardly cooked anymore except for occasionally going to some inhabited worlds.

However, when she was still a scavenger living in the Cocolia Orphanage, she was the cooking expert among the girls. After holding the kitchen knife again, she quickly regained her feeling.

Ingredients were not a problem. After all, someone had written a reminder in beautiful handwriting on the refrigerator door:

"As long as you think of the name of the ingredient, it will automatically appear here~"

Seele tried it, and it really works.

After taking food out of the refrigerator, she started preparing lunch.

"Hmm, what should I make...carrot and beet soup?"

She was thinking while cutting vegetables.

The economic situation of the Cocolia Orphanage is not very good, so the children's daily dietary choices are extremely limited, and classic carrot and beet soup is their choice most of the time.

However, in this illusion with abundant food, it is better to make the food more sumptuous. This way, Kirataka and Sirin will like it more.

However, even if she wanted to make a more sumptuous meal, she didn't have many dishes that she was good at...

"I'll help, too."

At this moment, Kirataka also stepped into the kitchen.

"Ah... yeah, okay."

Seele nodded and moved two steps slightly to the left to make some space for Kirataka.

Kirataka also came to the side of the chopping board, took a look at the vegetables Seele was cutting, and asked casually:

"Is Seele planning on making carrot and beet soup?"

"Um."

The girl nodded obediently.

"Bronya sometimes cooks this dish... But since we are in a dream, let me show you my skill."

Sometimes when Mei is not in the dormitory, he or Bronya will be responsible for dinner.

As for that Paramecium... whether for personal safety or the safety of the kitchen, it is better not to let her enter the kitchen except for washing dishes.

He thought about it for a moment, turned around, opened the refrigerator door, and took out some meat.

After placing them on the chopping board, he took out a boning knife specially used for processing meat from the knife rack in front of him.

'...By the way, why is this kitchen knife rack in the shape of Judas, a cross spreading out to both sides?'

Seele has already put the necessary ingredients for the beet soup into the pot. It will take about thirty minutes for the beet soup to be cooked.

Now that she had some free time, she naturally began to watch Kirataka's work.

Looking at his skillful knife skills in handling the ingredients, she said in surprise:

"Hey, um, can Kirataka cook?"

"I wasn't very good at it at first, but after practicing for a while, I've become quite proficient, although I can't say I'm particularly good at it."

Kirataka replied while processing the ingredients.

'It turns out that Sirin is from Siberia, and Seele is from Estonia. I wonder if there is any difference in taste...'

'By the way, Seele, who has been living in the Cocolia Orphanage, probably has the taste of Siberia.'

With the joint efforts of him and Seele, a table full of delicious food was placed on the table.

The purple-haired girl who arrived late sat down at the dining table while yawning.

The family of three sat at the dining table. A certain heavily-armored little rabbit was sleeping obediently in a rabbit nest that had appeared at some unknown time. However, she was still looking at the dining table and Seele with the corner of her eyes.

After smelling the aroma of the food on the table, Sirin's golden eyes suddenly sparkled:

"Smells so good!"

——For her, whose living conditions were once much worse than Seele's, this table of food could be considered the most delicious food in the world.

She couldn't wait to look at Seele, who had just untied her apron and asked:

"Can we start now?"

Seeing her greedy look, Seele smiled slightly and said:

"Of course."

…

After eating and drinking her fill, the purple-haired girl lay on the table contentedly.

"Sirin"

Kirataka tapped her head gently again and said:

"Those who don't cook are responsible for cleaning up and washing the dishes. This is the rule in our house."

"Is this true?!"

Sirin protested.

"I just ordered it."

"Okay—I know."

The purple-haired girl stood up reluctantly and began to clean up the messy table.

"Let's go together."

Seele also stood up and started to clean up the leftovers with Sirin.

As for Kirataka, he has already started lying on the sofa like Ge You.

(TL: 'Ge You' is a well-known Chinese actor and comedian, celebrated for his work in both film and television. Born on April 19, 1964, in Beijing, he has become a prominent figure in Chinese cinema, particularly recognized for his distinctive style and humorous roles.)

Well, would this be more like a father role?

"By the way, Mom, these days are supposed to be holidays. Do we have to stay at home all the time?"

In the kitchen, the purple-haired girl was washing dishes under the running water while hinting at Seele.

"So... is there any place you want to go or anything Sirin wants to do?"

As expected, the blue-haired girl asked gently.

Although it might not be the same, she found that it would feel more natural if she got along with Sirin the same way she had gotten along with Rozaliya and Liliya, two children younger than her.

Follow her words and try to satisfy her ideas.

"Hmm…"

The purple-haired girl closed her eyes and shook her head slightly from side to side as if she were thinking seriously.

Soon, she came to a conclusion and reopened her golden eyes:

"I want to go to the amusement park! As a family!"
