After Alicia finished her live stream, they went to experience the story of Honkai Impact 3rd from the beginning.
In response, countless veteran players transformed into ship companions, revealing a unified "auntie smile."
……
In the game.
With the help of that white homunculus, Durandal finally met his biological father, Siegfried.
This was mentioned by the Trial Judge in the previous part of the story.
Siegfried was trapped in the Kaslana family's Stigmata Space.
In order to leave this place, he challenged the ancient consciousness within the Stigmata—the shadow of Kevin.
However, Siegfried was unable to awaken his Stigmata, so he could only fight against it using his own power.
With each failure, Siegfried's personality was constantly shattered, breaking into fragments scattered throughout the Stigmata Space.
This resulted in Siegfried's personality becoming severely damaged, and he was eventually sealed in ice by "Kevin".
That white homunculus was actually a fragment of Siegfried's scattered consciousness.
After Durandal leaves, the fragment will return to Siegfried's personality.
What happened during the time he met Durandal would ultimately be mistaken by Siegfried as a dream...
That's not bad enough...
When Houmu relayed the situation from Siegfried's side to Durandal... countless players felt a pang of anxiety upon seeing Siegfried, who looked several times older and extremely disheveled.
They didn't seem to have any feelings for Qigefei.
They just... felt a little sorry for Durandal now.
What must it feel like to see your own father in such a wretched and miserable state, and to be powerless to help him...?
At this moment, Siegfried kept muttering the names of Cecilia and Kiana.
“Cecilia… Kiana…”
Why...why are you smiling at me?
"It was clearly... I who killed you all..."
His voice was incredibly hoarse and pained, and he was trapped in eternal self-blame.
Durandal's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but shout, "No, Mr. Siegfried, your own daughter... she's alive! She's right here!!"
Seeing this, the white Houmu regretfully reminded him, "This is one-way communication... He won't hear anything we say..."
Durandal: "...Of course I know."
"But I keep telling myself... one day, I will find a way to let him know—of the 527 regrets in his life, one was just a misunderstanding of fate..."
"Perhaps this is the only solace my identity can offer him."
Just then, Siegfried suddenly looked up, his blue eyes filled with hope.
"I... I think I had a dream..."
"Kiana... your sister who inherited your name, she shouldn't have disappointed you, right?"
"Haha... At times like this, just pretend someone's listening—"
I don't know if it was because of this dream, or if Siegfried was simply a man of strong will.
His eyes began to light up again: "...I must leave this place and tell her in person that I am alright..."
"This is probably the greatest comfort I can offer her right now."
"Heh...it seems I must—"
Before Yulandal could finish listening, the voice from afar abruptly stopped.
That weathered yet still optimistic face also vanished completely from Yulandel's sight.
Yulandel let out a deep breath.
Although Siegfried was unaware of his own existence.
But the other person is still alive, still retains their memories, and is still striving and optimistically hoping to reunite with their family...
With this confirmed, Durandal felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.
She was delighted to receive the news.
Not just because the other party is her biological father.
This hero, whose life was full of regrets, is also worthy of Durandal's respect.
Finally, the white Houmu also disappeared.
Durandal was finally able to leave this Stigmata space.
"call……"
She took a deep breath and whispered to herself:
"No matter what, I will find you with Kiana—"
"Our father~"
.......
Chapter 165 Sisters in the same frame, why does the silly goose seem a bit like a bug?
That's a bit tragic... Siegfried
[Somewhat surprisingly, the goose's reaction upon seeing her biological father wasn't as intense as I had imagined.]
[To remain rational in this situation, truly a dummy...]
Well, it's probably because of amnesia that she doesn't have such deep feelings for her biological father.
Durandal remained rational, knowing she couldn't rescue Siegfried right now, so she didn't display any impotent rage.
[MiHoYo, really... even at this point, couldn't they at least let the father and daughter exchange a few words? QAQ]
However, Mihoyo isn't all bad; at least it lets us know that Siegfried's mental state is currently good.
……
This part of the story is still somewhat disappointing for the audience.
That wretched miHoYo! No matter what it is, they always leave players with a little regret...
Despite the complaints, viewers are even more eager for the upcoming plot.
Now that the goose's background has been explained, it has gained new power.
So next... is Theresa's situation outside.
Of course, there's also the climax of the fight where they beat up Otto.
……
In the game, after everything was over, the silly goose quickly composed itself.
After all, a real battle awaits her outside.
Just as she took out the Grius and tried to locate the Sumeru Mustard Seed, an incoming communication call came in.
The communication channel she was using was the same one she had used five years ago when she was traveling with Rita…
She quickly pictured the elegant maid in her mind.
"This is Durandal, please speak."
A familiar female voice soon came from the other end of the communication.
"Lady Durandal!!"
"Rita! Is that you?"
"Of course, Lady Durandal! Are you alright? Have you encountered any danger?"
Rita's tone was filled with deep worry, and unusually, she seemed flustered.
"I'm fine. I'm sorry I worried you."
"Phew..." Rita breathed a deep sigh of relief after hearing Durandal's reply.
I'm so glad you're alright...
"So, Lady Durandal, would you like me to report on the current situation?"
"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Rita then told Durandal everything that had happened outside.
Otto is driving the power of "Constraint," while Theresa will use costly methods to directly confront the power of "Constraint."
This tense situation made Durandal even more anxious.
