Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

Maybe on weekdays his sister would be a little more lenient with him and let him sleep in for another half an hour, but when they were going out to play, his sister, who was very active, would never allow him to waste any time.

Personally, Kaino thinks that the situation where a man stays in bed and has to wait until his sister urges him to get out of bed, or even enjoys it, only exists in the Homu comics.

Maybe it exists in reality, but at least he is not like that.

After all, those guys' sisters must be gentle and lovely, not a heartless sister who would run to the bed and beat her brother because he delays too much.

Especially when the sister is strong enough to pin her brother to the ground and hammer him - although his sister has never done so.

So we are twins, so why am I the older brother when I didn't inherit either the physical fitness or the Honkai resistance from my family?

It's a bit hasty to decide that I'm the older brother just because the medical staff carried me out first. Although it seems that's how the eldest of twins is determined.

While Kainuo was thinking wildly in his mind, he put on his clothes and went out to wash up.

However, just as he passed by a brown wooden door, Kainuo suddenly stopped, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and slapped the wooden door hard.

"~Kiana? Don't sleep anymore, it's time to get up!" Kaino shouted at the wooden door, "The sun is burning your butt!"

After shouting like that, Kainuo left quickly without stopping in front of the door for a moment.

Just before walking down the stairs, Kaino vaguely heard a shout coming from inside the door.

The corners of Kainuo's mouth rose involuntarily, and then slowly calmed down.

He, Kayno Kaslana, was a good brother who cared deeply about his sister's health. Whenever he woke up before Kiana, he would make sure she understood the benefits of going to bed and waking up early—a way to repay Kiana for helping him get to bed and wake up early.

Although there are not many cases where he wakes up earlier than Kiana.

When Kayno walked out of the bathroom, the first person he saw was Kiana walking towards the bathroom.

The white-haired girl had two pigtails tied at the back of her head and was wearing a cute dress with a Hom pattern on it. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Kaino, then immediately glared at him with wide eyes.

"Ugh, Kaino, why did you get up so early today?" Kiana looked at Kaino with an indignant look on her face. "And getting up early is fine, but why did you wake me up so early?"

"My dear little Kiana, this is all because of my deep love for you." Kainuo blinked and, with a smile on his face, used his prepared words to deceive his sister. "You said you hate the sound of the alarm clock when you're sound asleep, right? If I call you in advance, can't you avoid being woken by the alarm clock?"

The girl in front of him was stunned again, and then began to wonder if this was reasonable.

"It doesn't make sense no matter how I think about it, right?!" Kiana, halfway through her thought, suddenly looked up. "Even though I wasn't woken up by the alarm clock, it wouldn't make any difference if I was woken up by you, right? And I can't get angry at the alarm clock..."

"Why is it irrational? Come on, Kiana, let me sort it out for you."

When Kaino found that the girl did not take action directly, he realized that the girl's attention had shifted from her reduced sleep time to which was worse, being woken by an alarm clock or being woken by her brother, and then he continued to fool her.

"Look, protecting you really means you don't have to hear that annoying alarm clock, right? Secondly, if I wake you up in advance, you can get up early, and if you get up early, you can eat early, and if you eat early, you can go out and play early... So, can't you do a lot of things in advance?"

Kiana frowned and thought for a while, then finally nodded slowly. "Although I still feel something is wrong...but this seems to be the case?"

"Right, you trust your brother." Kainuo smiled wickedly again and winked, "Then I'll go call dad first? You go wash up first."

"No need, I've already called Dad." Kiana's attention was completely diverted. "Dad said he wanted to play games in the bedroom for a while... Really, Dad is always so idle."

"Wait, shouldn't you rush in and call Dad out right now? Didn't he say yesterday that he would make breakfast today?"

"He said to leave today's breakfast to me... Ah! No, he said to leave it to you!" Kiana shook her head violently and quickly went into the bathroom. "I'm going to wash up, Kaino, breakfast is up to you!"

As the door slammed shut, Kiana fell completely silent.

"It's me again... I thought I could take a day off." Kainuo frowned and walked towards the kitchen with stiff steps.

This was why Kiana always urged Kayno to get up in the morning—perhaps because he had barely inherited Kaslana's physique? In short, Kayno showed a high talent for cooking, and the food he made was more delicious than Kiana and Siegfried's.

...Although it is just the level of normal food that normal people would feel is normal, but considering that he is a Kaslana, it is not easy for him to achieve this.

You know, for most of Kaslana's cooking, the most important consideration is whether it's edible, not how it tastes. Among them, Siegfried and Kiana's cooking talents are relatively good. Their food won't kill you, but it's definitely not delicious.

Unless the two of them spend a lot of energy on learning to cook in the future, it is possible to slightly change this situation.

"Let me see. Eggs, apples, bananas, milk, and... bitter melon? Forget about that. Hey, how many buckets of instant noodles are left?"

Kainuo, who had taken half of the ingredients, suddenly noticed several buckets of Chef Hou brand instant noodles inside the refrigerator and was stunned.

"When did you buy it? And you haven't eaten it yet...Okay, let's just eat it. It just so happens that everyone in the family likes it."

He put all the ingredients he had taken out earlier back in one go, hesitated for a while and took out three boxes of milk. Then he filled a pot of water and put it on the stove to boil, and decided on today's breakfast without hesitation.

Well, ordinary Chef Hou instant noodles with milk, without any extra additions, such a breakfast is enough to surpass most of Kaslana's works.

...both in terms of health and taste.

Chapter 2: Absent-minded Siegfried

Kayno held a fork in his hand, and together with Kiana, he stared blankly at Siegfried who was standing across from him.

He had no idea what was happening.

Just now, after washing up, Kiana called her father who was staying in the room to have breakfast together, and led Siegfried to the dining table.

During this time, Kiana also asked Siegfried how his breakfast was, and Siegfried responded with "It's delicious".

Then Siegfried, who was sitting at his seat, picked up the milk... and poured it into the instant noodles.

Even if Kaslana is an amazing cook, as long as her basic knowledge of food is correct, she shouldn't do such a thing, right?

"So... you can eat instant noodles like this?" Kiana muttered softly, her eyes gleaming. "Yeah! This way the instant noodles will be more nutritious, and you don't have to drink milk again. What a great idea!"

After Kiana finished speaking, she reached out and picked up the milk on the table and was about to pour it into the instant noodles.

OK, Kaynor retracts his statement.

"Stop kidding!" Kaino snatched Kiana's instant noodles away. "Let's not even mention that this milk was just taken out of the refrigerator. How can instant noodles mixed with milk taste good?!"

"But Dad was enjoying his meal very much?" Kiana said as she stared at the bowl of instant noodles that Kayno took away, her empty hand also eager to move.

"...How on earth did you see the word happy on Dad's face? His expression hasn't changed at all since he sat down, right?"

As Kaino spoke, he looked at Siegfried and at the same time moved Kiana's instant noodles to the side to ensure that the other party would not rush to grab the food.

Even though the two of them were arguing and fighting over the instant noodles, Siegfried, who was sitting opposite them, remained calm and ate his ice-cold instant noodles with milk as still as a mountain.

"But if it tastes bad, Dad wouldn't be like this!" Kiana thought for a moment and asked Siegfried, "Dad, how do you feel about today's noodles?"

"Hmm? It tastes the same as regular instant noodles." Siegfried raised his head and looked at Kiana with a calm expression after hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Kiana immediately rushed towards Kaino and snatched the instant noodles.

"Hehe, you still want to lie to me, you'll know once I ask Dad, right?"

Ignoring the gradually losing luster in Kayno's eyes, Kiana raised her chin and showed off to Kayno.

The next moment, Kiana poured all the milk in her hand into the instant noodles.

"Hmm~ milk instant noodles, let me try it!"

Kiana took a mouthful of instant noodles with excitement on her face, but her smile suddenly froze and her face gradually fell.

After a while, Kiana turned around and whispered to Kaino, who had already started eating, "Is there something wrong with Dad?"

"Shouldn't a normal person have noticed it when he poured the milk in?"

Kaino swallowed the noodles in his mouth and glanced at Kiana.

"Also, I've already eaten this noodles, so I can't share it with you."

"Humph."

After breakfast, a bad day began for both Kiana and Kayno.

According to the three people's usual weekend habits, this day should have started with Kayno watching Siegfried and Kiana play football and compete in rowing, then the three of them would have a big meal outside, in the afternoon they would go to the shooting range for a shooting competition, and then go to watch a movie that Kayno liked.

The reason why Keno didn't join the two in the football and rowing competition was naturally that he didn't inherit Kaslana's ancestral supernatural strength. So although he was still healthy, he was at most a stronger 9-year-old child. Joining the two people's competition would make all three of them feel bored.

This is also why when watching movies, one has to choose movies that Keno likes. For this reason, Siegfried often recommends Alahato to Keno, trying to lure him into the trap.

Although he actually had little interest in Alahato, or in movies in general.

But today...

There was a 3000 delay in playing football, the rowing keys were reversed, and even when he was watching his favorite Alahato, he was completely distracted.

Moreover, as Kaslana has been using the Holy Judgment of Skyfire for many years, she can even hit other people's targets when shooting.

"So, Dad is really not right today."

Kiana, who had the same braids as Theresa, was walking on the road. She looked at Siegfried who looked like a zombie in front of her and said with a frown.

"It just started this morning, so it must be related to my dad playing games in my room this morning?"

Kainuo guessed.

"Kaino, you mean... Dad is like this because he lost the game?"

"Qiana, promise me you won't wear braids like Aunt Theresa's anymore, okay?"

"What does this have to do with braids... But, Kaino, I don't think Dad lost the game, but more like he's worried about something."

As Kiana spoke, she looked to the side and paused, "I have an idea, Kayno. Ask Dad to wait for me first!"

Watching Kiana run into the flower shop in front, Kaino scratched his hair and walked forward to grab Siegfried's trouser leg.

"Dad."

"Huh? What's wrong, Kaino?" Siegfried turned around and found that one of the two little ones was missing. He quickly looked around for Kiana, "Where's Kiana? Is she lost?"

Kaino pointed to the flower shop nearby and said, "Kiana sensed that you were worried, so I went to buy you a gift."

"Gift?" Siegfried was stunned and looked at the flower shop that Kaynor pointed to. He just saw Kiana coming out with a bouquet of lilies.

"Is this a lily?"

Siegfried squatted down and took the flowers handed to him by Kiana.

"Yes, I bought it for you, Dad." Kiana looked at Siegfried in front of her, her tone gradually becoming gentler. "Dad, you've been absent-minded all day... Maybe something's bothering you?"

"—Don't deny it, Kaino and I are watching!" Seeing Siegfried open his mouth to speak, Kiana quickly interrupted, "Anyway, take these flowers and go talk to Mom."

"No matter what's bothering you, just talk to Mom and you'll definitely feel better!" Kiana put her hands on her waist and raised her head. "Don't worry about Kaino and I eavesdropping. We'll go home first and give you and Mom enough space to be alone."

Siegfried was stunned for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and raised his hand to touch Kiana's head.

"Kiana, you've really grown up."

"Of course, who do you think your daughter is?" Kiana narrowed her eyes and smiled even more happily as she felt Siegfried's touch.

"What about me?" Kaino interrupted the conversation at an inopportune moment, poking Siegfried's waist. "Your son is here too."

"Okay, okay, Kiana, Kayno has grown up too."

Siegfried smiled gently.

Chapter 3: Project Xilin

"Kaino, tell me..." As soon as she entered the house, Kiana grabbed Kaino's clothes and asked anxiously, "Does Dad want to find a mother for us?"

"Huh?" Kaino's eyes widened, and he looked at Kiana in disbelief. "Don't tell me you were thinking about this the whole time you lowered your head and looked miserable?"

After sending Siegfried away, Kiana didn't feel relieved at all. Instead, she lowered her head and said nothing as if she was sulking. He thought Kiana was remembering the time he had cheated her and wanted revenge, and he was even worried about it for a while.

But come to think of it, if she really remembered it, she would have beaten herself up at that time. How could she have endured it so long?

"Yes." Kiana nodded, but her brow was still frowning. "Mom has passed away for so many years. It's not surprising that Dad wants to find another mother. Besides, my period has been..."

"Stop, stop!" Keno pressed his left fingers against the palm of his right hand and looked directly at Kiana. "I have a feeling if you continue, you'll say something against the law that will easily provoke a grudge from the Archbishop. Stop it right here!"

"Besides, if you want to know so much, why not just go to Dad's room?" Kaino pointed at Siegfried's door and raised an eyebrow. "Dad stayed in his room for so long this morning. There's a good chance he left some clues there, right?"

"Well, that does make sense, but..." Having said that, Kiana suddenly looked at Kayno with a serious expression, "Kayno, Dad might have his privacy in his room. Going in like this is an invasion of his privacy. It's wrong!"

"--But!" Kiana suddenly changed the subject, "Dad's room must be a mess. I should help him fold his clothes now, so it's okay if I'm alone!"

After saying that, Kiana ran into Siegfried's room.

Rolling his eyes helplessly, Kaino followed Kiana into the bedroom.

Kainuo felt that things were not that simple. He had noticed that Siegfried had been acting strangely all day.

That definitely doesn't look like someone looking for a stepmother... probably.

Kainuo suspected that his father might have owed a huge debt, or had done something bad behind their backs that they couldn't let them know about and was being blackmailed.

After all, there's always been a rumor about Destiny, right? --- that Kaslana's knight, Mr. Siegfried, touched the buttocks of the All-Destiny Valkyrie.

If this is true, then as Siegfried's children, Kayno believes that he and Kiana have the knowledge... and the right and obligation to beat Siegfried together.

After entering the bedroom, Kainuo glanced at Kiana who was carefully making the bed and couldn't help but sigh.

Are you really here to clean the room? At least search those clothes!
