Honkai: It’s broken, I have become the Herrscher of Corrosion?

Seeing that Cecilia's memory was recognized by Xilin, Inoshia finally let go of her worries. Fortunately, she did not create a new life like the Herrscher of Consciousness, who had Cecilia's memory but behaved in a completely different way. Instead, she really brought Cecilia, who was not yet dead, back to life.

Just like Alicia in the Land of the Past, she is a memory, but is she Alicia? Obviously, everyone agrees that this is Cecilia's current state.

"Since it's possible, we'll make Alexandra's memory after they finish talking. From now on, the job of taking care of the baby will have to be done by the two of them who have given birth before."

Ivan is only 5 years old, and Bella will only blindly obey any orders from Celine. Celine herself is a problem child. If these three are handed over to an inexperienced person like me, there is no telling what kind of trouble will arise.

In this way, a new life began. All external communication work was almost entirely handled by Enosiya, while the family was left to deal with the daily life of two mothers taking care of three children.

August 2000, 10, night.

As usual, Xilin was watching TV and eating fried chicken in her room.

"Your Majesty, would you like to go to bed early tonight?" Bella looked at the fried chicken next to Xilin and asked tentatively.

"No, it's the same as yesterday." Xilin, who was concentrating on watching TV, didn't even look at Bella.

Bella had no intention of disturbing her any further, but quietly retreated from Xilin's room and went straight to the kitchen.

"Given the Queen's habits, the fried chicken in the bucket will probably be finished before her entertainment is over, and that amount can't satisfy the Queen's needs at all..." Bella thought as she opened the refrigerator.

"Sure enough... all the frozen food has been eaten. By the time new food is airlifted in, Her Majesty the Queen will surely have rested." Bella looked at the somewhat empty refrigerator and fell into deep thought.

As for Xilin using the power of the Herrscher of the Void to directly take food from other places... unless she, the Herrscher, is about to starve to death, she will definitely not do that.

As for letting others serve Xilin? Bella couldn't even think about it. It was a great honor for her to serve Xilin. Unless she had something more urgent or Xilin gave an order, she would definitely not let others take care of Xilin's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"There are three potatoes left... let's just make some French fries with them."

Bella took out the chopping board, washed and peeled three potatoes, then picked up the kitchen knife with her right hand, extended her index finger with her left hand, and observed it carefully.

With a few moves of the knife, the potatoes were quickly cut into thick slices. He cut again and cut the slices into potato strips as thick as his fingers.

Take out a large bowl, put the cut potato strips into the bowl, and add water until all the potato strips are covered.

Put down the bowl, reach into the bowl with both hands, and stir the potato strips evenly to wash off the starch on the surface.

Putting the simply washed potato strips aside, Bella opened the refrigerator again.

"Your Majesty the Queen doesn't need ketchup...then don't worry about it..." Bella said, taking out a bottle of iced soda.

"Although it's very hot...it's still a little too cold after taking it out of the refrigerator. Let's leave it at room temperature for a while." Bella put the soda aside and walked out of the kitchen.

"Bella, are you still in the kitchen so late?" The projector in the living room moved, and then a holographic image of Cecilia appeared.

"Ah, it's Lady Cecilia. The Queen's snacks were almost finished, so I thought I'd make some more. What can I do for you?"

"You... With you by her side, she's afraid she'll never lose weight... There's a question I've always wanted to ask, but seeing you're busy from morning till night, I've never had the chance."

"It just so happens that I am free now. Please go ahead."

"How do you...actually see me?"

Bella scratched her head, thought seriously for a while and then said:

"You also know that I am a Judgment-level Honkai Beast that exists because of the Queen. Everything I do for the Queen is natural in my eyes... So to me, you are a person worthy of respect."

"Is it because I am currently Celine's mother?"

Bella shook her head. "Mother is just a code name to me. But when Her Majesty the Queen is with you, I can clearly feel her happiness and joy. For me, Her Majesty the Queen is happy. Anyone who can give her happiness is naturally worthy of respect."

"Is that so... Bella, thank you."

Bella shook her head again: "You don't have to thank me. I know you have your own pursuits and beliefs. But no matter what the reason, if you stand against the Queen again... the Queen's enemy will always be my enemy."

Unlike Enosia, Bella doesn't trust Cecilia that much because she once stood against Celine.

“It’s great to have you by Cecilia’s side,” Cecilia said, and the holographic image disappeared, just like hanging up the phone.

"It's almost time." Bella returned to the kitchen, washed the soaked potato strips again and put them in the colander.

Heat the pot, add water, add a spoonful of salt, bring to a boil, pour in the potato strips and cook for two minutes, then cool them in cold water. This way, even if Xilin eats while watching, the potato strips will not become soft easily.

After they were completely cool, Bella drained the water, put the potato strips in a larger bowl, and poured cornstarch into it.

Bella recalled the painful lesson she learned the first time she tried to fry French fries. Since she didn't have corn starch, she just used potato starch, and as a result, all the French fries clump together.

After coating the potato strips with starch, Bella added oil to the pot, turned on the fire and raised the oil temperature. When bubbles appeared when chopsticks were put in, she poured the potato strips into the pot.

Less than 10 minutes later, the fries were golden and crispy, and Bella scooped them out and put them on a plate.

After cleaning up everything in the kitchen, the fries were no longer so hot and the iced drinks were no longer so cold. Bella brought them into Celine's bedroom with satisfaction.

Xilin was still concentrating on watching TV. To Bella's surprise, the bucket of fried chicken had been thrown into the trash can by Xilin, and it was obvious that she had finished eating it not long ago.

"Oh no, my judgment was wrong today. The Queen ate much faster than usual today, and I was unable to get more fried chicken when she finished it."

With some regret, Bella put the soda and French fries next to Xilin, and then cleaned up the food residue on the ground without disturbing Xilin.

"Bella, wait a minute." Just as she was about to leave, Xilin called her.

"My Queen, is there anything else you want me to do for you?"

Xilin opened the drawer, rummaged around for a while, and took out a paper package containing a piece of fried chicken.

Xilin wanted to save the last piece of fried chicken for her, but she was afraid that she would eat it by accident, so she put it in the drawer.

She took the paper bag that Xilin handed to her, looked at the still warm fried chicken, and was so excited that she was speechless.

"Eat it quickly, or it will get cold. Also, I don't have a very good appetite today, so half of these fries are yours. Sit down and watch with me. You can't leave until you finish eating."

"Yes." The fried chicken, which was already a little cold, tasted ordinary, but Bella thought it was the best fried chicken she had ever eaten.

Bella had just finished eating fried chicken and dumped the bones. She sat next to Xilin, and Xilin handed her the soda she had just drunk to her mouth.

After a moment's hesitation, Bella took the soda and took a sip. When she thought of Xilin having just drunk it, two blushes suddenly appeared on her face.

When Enosiya, who had just returned home, saw this scene, she felt that she was not hungry even if she didn't have a midnight snack. She immediately covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing, and quietly left Xilin's room.
