"Before the chance to revive Kallen—"
"He decided to take a gamble!!"
"Within her consciousness, there was no method capable of reviving Kallen at all!"
"No one can stand in the way of my reunion with Kallen!"
"Not even a god!"
Otto's words echoed again and again through the pure white space.
Kallen's eyes reddened.
Countless emotions intertwined in her heart—
emotion, shock, and above all, overwhelming guilt.
Not only guilt toward Otto,
but guilt toward Cecilia, Siegfried, and everyone who had been harmed by Otto up to this point.
All for the sake of granting her resurrection,
so many innocent people had been dragged in,
so many Valkyries had sacrificed their lives.
In Kallen's eyes, this was extreme—utterly excessive.
What was more,
this was nothing but an illusory goal, one that could never truly be achieved.
"Reviving someone who has been dead for five hundred years…"
"How could that possibly be done…"
On the screen,
the concluding evaluation for Siegfried slowly appeared.
[Character: Siegfried Kaslana]
[Character Rating: 9.6 (Full Score: 10)]
[Number of Participants: 1.44M+]
[Character Message: From a shouhu to a Kaslana warrior whose name stands for 'protection,' he upheld the Kaslana creed of sacrificing everything to protect others.
He loved the Arahato animation series and dreamed of becoming a hero, unwilling to be bound by the hollow Kaslana mission of 'protecting the world,' and thus ran away from home. But after meeting Cecilia and understanding the meaning of love, he gave up his pursuit of freedom and returned to Schicksal.]
Siegfried's evaluation slowly came to an end.
Yet under Cecilia's sacrifice—
his life was still far from reaching its final chapter.
[Arataki Itto]: He's a real man! A brave warrior! A qualified father!
[Zhongli]: A Kaslana—one whose name means protection. Siegfried truly deserves that title.
[Kafka]: I hope Siegfried can have a good ending in the end.
[Theresa]: Siegfried, I'll take good care of Kiana.
[Raiden Mei]: And so will Bronya and I!
[Honkai · Bronya]: Mm!!
[March 7th]: It's all Otto's fault! A perfectly good family was torn apart by him!
[Ruan Mei]: In a disaster like the Honkai, perhaps everyone is unfortunate in their own way.
[Kiana]: Stupid old dad… I don't know where you are, but you'd better take good care of yourself!
As the curtain slowly fell,
aboard the Astral Express,
March 7th quietly leaned closer to Welt, who was reading a book.
"Uncle Yang~?"
"Mm?"
"Um… could you tell me what happens next? It feels like it must be really exciting! And what happened to Siegfried later? Did Otto get punished? Did you defeat the Honkai?!"
Welt Yang raised his head slightly, seeing the curiosity sparkling in March's eyes.
Scenes from Earth surfaced in his mind—Otto, and Kevin as well.
"No."
"Huh?! Why not?!"
March 7th dramatically wilted.
Welt shook his head helplessly.
"No one can guarantee that the history they recount is completely objective and fair. And, Little March, the future is what truly matters to us, isn't it?"
"But…"
"Siegfried later on… was reunited with his family."
"As for Otto…"
At that point, Welt pushed up his glasses.
"You may be able to see it for yourself—from an objective and impartial perspective."
"Huh… what?"
March froze.
Then her pupils suddenly shrank!!
Because right there on the screen in front of her—
those words unmistakably displayed Otto's name!
