Chapter 131: Remodel and upgrade Kallen.

Several days had passed after celebrating Kiana's birthday. 

After that day, Kiana's behavior in Kouro's eyes became normal again, she became the 'Kiana' he used to know. 

A childish girl with a careless and stubborn nature. 

In these few days too, after he had Authority [death and life] the first thing he did was to remodel Kallen's body. 

With his creation ability, he didn't need any sophisticated tools to remodel her, and fortunately since he had Soulium metal, he could reduce the cost he needed to the maximum since it was the main ingredient in creating the ELF robot.

Moreover, the Kallen body that Kouro had created had many shortcomings, for example, it was not waterproof, and the energy core's charge period could only last for 8 hours without activating the combat and flight modes, if she activated those modes, the core charge period only lasted for 4 hours, and it took another 4 hours to fully charge the energy core. 

Kouro took about 1 full week to overhaul Kallen's body to become newer and stronger. 

Now that it has been overhauled Kallen's body  has many new functions, such as its core has been replaced with a pseudo-core made of Soulium metal with a pre-skip program. 

With that program and pseudo-core, Kallen now has the most efficient energy core that has a full 1 week power life if she activates the battle mode, and a pre-skip program that allows her to inherit battle data that makes her a formidable veteran. 

Kouro also made a box out of Soulium metal that is connected to Kallen's back, the box can transform into 128 types of weapons from rocket launchers, lasers, pistols and it will continue to grow. 

By the way, Kallen's current appearance was similar to her [Sündenjäger] battlesuit in the game, she was wearing a black and red open short blazer with a pair of pistols connected to the box. 

He thought that with Kallen's strength now, she was not inferior to a top-tier A-rank Valkyrie and might even be able to compete with an S-rank Valkyrie. 

His Mechanical Mastery also increased to [Master] after he successfully remodeled Kallen's body. 

Kouro felt happy and in a good mood asked Kallen if there were any other functions she wanted and Kallen enthusiastically replied that she wanted her taste buds to be upgraded again. 

Well... In the end Kallen was Kallen, she was more concerned with food than combat, but that was good. 

With [Master]'s mechanical ability, he could easily upgrade Kallen's taste buds to the extent that they were equal to human taste buds and even better. 

Kallen at that time looked very happy after her taste buds were strengthened, but... This function also seemed to backfire. 

That day, to celebrate Kallen's reinforcement, Kiana made a very large meal for her, as she knew that Kallen loved to eat. 

Kiana felt confident in her cooking because Kouro had always finished all her dishes before. 

Kouro still remembered Kallen's frightened and desperate expression when she saw many dark dishes with an ominous aura in front of her, as if she had already eaten them. 

Well... Considering she had fainted without cause before, it must be related to Kiana's cooking. 

Due to her enhanced taste buds, it only took one spoonful to make Kallen almost meet the creator, fortunately there was Kouro who happened to be passing by at that time, so with a heart ready to sacrifice, he finished the food without leaving any leftovers. 

Since then, Kallen seemed to have been traumatized, always running away and hiding when she saw Kiana enter the kitchen.

St. Freya academy was on holidays a few days ago because winter had arrived. 

In the morning, at Kouro's house. 

Kouro got up from his bed, he opened the curtains to reveal a view of the snowfall that began to fall slowly. 

"What a beautiful day. "

After that he then opened his status interface.

Looking at his already considerable points, Kouro rubbed his chin with a thoughtful expression. 

All the new abilities he had acquired this time focused on the Honkai status and intelligence, but even so the other statuses were also quite important. 

For the strength status, it has exceeded two hundred and is more than enough, after all, the enemies he is currently fighting have a fairly high physical attack resistance, then the agility and vitality status... 

This status is also important, with agility he can escape quickly and with vitality he will not die easily... 

Then the Sense status.... This status was a bit vague but he knew it was very useful when fighting enemies that had a high hiding rate. 

After thinking for a long time, Kouro finally added twenty-one to each of the Honkai and intelligence statuses, then added ten to the vitality status and the remaining points he added to the sense and speed statuses.

Nodding in satisfaction, he then went out of his room.

In the kitchen. 

"... "

Kouro with a calm expression, staring at the ominous dish in front of him, he turned his head to the side, looking at Kiana who was wearing an apron with a vegetable ladle in her hand, she looked smiling happily like a virtuous wife. 

Kouro then turned his head forward, looking at Bronya, Himeko, Ayame, and Kallen who were trying to avoid his gaze. 

Theresa and Fu Hua who were also sitting on the dining chairs were puzzled by their actions, but when they both looked at the dishes in front of Kouro, their expressions both turned subtle. 

Kouro stared at their normal-looking and delicious dishes before returning his gaze to his dishes that were full of an ominous aura. 

By the way the dish in front of Kouro at the moment was made by Kiana and with Mei's help, hence its shape was not black but only had an ominous aura. 

Kouro smiled softly with his eyes narrowed, there was a soft light behind him. 

Seeing him like that, Ayame felt goosebumps and cleared her throat, "Ahem... I'll buy you a special pudding later... Kouro. "

"...I'll give you my special bitter melon juice." 

"It's... Do you like ramen?" Himeko randomly asked. 

"Bronya... Will give subject Kouro a strawberry parfait special HOMU..." Bronya said with a slightly unwilling face. 

"Do you like Chinese food, Kouro?" Fu Hua asked.

Looking at all of them offering food, Kallen scratched her head, she didn't have any food to offer because she always finished it. 

Then the matter of cooking... She had never cooked in her entire life, wait, she remembered that she had once cooked something for Otto. 

She didn't really remember what happened after that, but she remembered that after a few days, Otto was rushed to the hospital with diarrhea and was treated for a few months. 

Thinking of this Kallen nodded her head, she thought her cooking knowledge was already decent compared to Kiana, so she looked at Kouro and just as she spoke. 

Kouro who was staring at her, suddenly replied firmly. "No." 

"I haven't said anything yet! "

After eating Kiana's cooking for more than a week, Kouro finally realized one thing which is to never let someone who has the name Kaslana go into the kitchen to cook. 

So after having breakfast together under the system notice as usual, and chatting for a while, Kouro finally looked at Theresa with a serious expression. 

"Theresa-san, I've thought about it, I'll join Schicksal. "

Theresa did not put on a surprised expression at Kouro's words, she just sighed slightly. 

"I already knew you would say that, with your current strength, the academy is already an unsuitable place for you. Then, prepare your things immediately, three days later I will take you to Schicksal."

"Eh? So soon?"

"Actually, right now is fine. I extended it because I thought... You need it. " Theresa said while glancing at Kiana and the others. 

After saying that, Theresa left to tell Otto. 

The room became quiet after Theresa left, they looked silent, well... After all, they had been together for almost half a year and suddenly the person who brought them together left... They must be feeling sad. 

Seeing that they were wearing sad expressions, Kouro quickly tried to break the ice, "Come on, don't be so sad, it's not like I'm parting with you guys forever. "

They just nodded slowly to his words, the atmosphere finally became a little lighter. 

... 

The next day, in the morning, at Kouro's house.

 

Kiana, who had just woken up with a yawn, came down from her room to the living room. 

She saw Ayame and Bronya who were playing games, Kallen who was currently watching TV, and Mei who was currently in the kitchen. 

By the way it seems, Himeko hasn't woken up from her sleep as usual, but... Why hasn't Kouro been seen yet, is he still in the room? 

Unusually Kouro was nowhere to be seen, he was usually the one who woke up the earliest to exercise while taking Ayame, but now, he was nowhere to be seen. 

"Nee, Ayame do you know where Kouro went?"

Ayame who was focused on playing the game, stopped and raised her head, "Kouro, currently has some personal business. "

"Personal business? " Kiana tilted her head. 

Ayame continued, "You know, Kouro-kun is an orphan, and he has a custom at the end of every year to visit his parents' graves in Tokyo."

"Kouro... Is an orphan...? " Kiana looked pensive. 

__

Afternoon, in the city of Tokyo. 

Kouro was seen getting out of the train with a troubled expression, behind him were several young girls with heart-shaped eyes, and even an old lady who was being held by several people. 

He was seen wearing a thick black coat with winter gloves and a dark green short hat, and also didn't forget to wear a mask, but it didn't seem to work. 

Kouro walked through the city and paused to look at the tall buildings reflecting the sunlight before hailing a taxi. 

The taxi driver was a woman in her twenties, she looked very enthusiastic when she saw Kouro. 

Kouro could only smile, this wasn't the first time he had experienced this, so he quickly got used to it and chatted with the woman. 

After a few hours, Kouro finally reached his destination, he quickly paid for the taxi under the woman's reluctant gaze, and quickly got out of the car. 

He was currently in a deserted place full of monuments and graves. 

There were several people who seemed to be on a pilgrimage, Kouro greeted them politely, he walked before an old man who was carrying a shovel approached him with a smiling expression. 

"Tsk! Tsk! Look at you now, Kouro boy you are getting handsome, how are you doing? Do you have dozens of girlfriends now? I want to hold my great-grandson now." Judging from his tone, this grandfather seemed to be very familiar with Kouro. 

The grandfather looked to be around his sixties with his hair that had completely turned white, he had deep black eyes with a face that was already full of wrinkles but his body looked well-built and even faintly visible trained muscles from his body. 

"Grandfather... I'm not a scumbag, how could I do that. " Kouro smiled helplessly. 

"Bah! In my day having multiple wives was a blessing, and I think a scumbag is one who dumps several girls who like him and doesn't dare confess out of fear. You're not going to be like that, are you, Kouro boy?"

Kouro's mouth twitched slightly at the grandfather's words. 

Although the grandfather's mouth was a bit vulgar, he was Kouro's grandfather, his name was Hanagami Tenji, he is a cemetery guard.

Kouro first met him when he ran away from home and secretly went here to visit his parents' grave. 

He remembered that back then, at night, his grandfather stood alone in front of his parents' grave with a reminiscent expression. 

For some reason, when the hiding little Kouro looked up at his grandfather, it was only for a moment that the grandfather recognized his hidden place. 

When grandfather saw Kouro, he was not angry but laughed when he saw his face, he simply introduced himself as his grandpa. 

Grandpa says that since he was a child, he was the one who took care of him because his parents were busy working. 

Grandpa never told him his past and why he broke away from society, he only said his occupation was a graveyard guard, but Kouro didn't believe him. 

In his opinion, Grandpa seems to have come from the military because he taught him all things related to self-defense, and it can be said that it is because of his Grandpa that Kouro can master many weapons and martial arts. 

But Grandpa was also a bit of a pervert, he often left little Kouro in the mixed bath as an excuse to see women bathing, often leaving him intentionally in a place full of beautiful women, even giving pornographic magazines to him. 

if it wasn't for the fact that his mind had matured, he would have already been defiled by this pervert grandpa. Little Kouro back then even wondered if grandpa was really his grandpa. 

But even though those were fun times, it was also horrible because he was indirectly the reason why he had Gynophobia. 

... 

The two of them were seen walking slowly somewhere while chatting, Kouro talking about his daily life while hiding some things like the Honkai Eruption, System, Will of Honkai, and Herrscher. 

He knew his grandfather knew some things about Honkai, so he didn't explicitly hide it. 

"By the way, it's unusual for you to go here before the end of the year comes, is there something going on? "

"That's... Well there is, I joined Schicksal... " Kouro said softly, he knew that his parents were also members of that organization, so didn't want to talk about it too much, he didn't want to hurt grandpa. 

But unlike what Kouro expected, his grandfather accepted it calmly and simply said, "Hmm... I see, then you should be careful. "

They seemed to stop at a deserted place with 2 graves. Underneath the new headstones were the names of Kouro's parents in each grave. 

There was incense and colorful fresh flowers on both graves, it looked like grandpa had recently made a pilgrimage here. 

Kouro walked closer to the two graves, he lowered his body and took out the flowers and incense, while cupping his hands and praying. 

After a few minutes, Kouro stood back up, he stared at the two graves for a long time before turning to look at his grandfather who was also staring at the graves. 

"Sorry, grandpa, since I rarely spend my time with you now, I... "

"You don't need to apologize, just you coming here makes me happy, Kouro boy. " Grandpa said with a gentle smile. 

"Grandpa..."

Grandpa then smiled widely, "But if you had brought your wife and children, I would have been very happy. " 

"Grandpa!"

.... 

In the Evening. 

"Although it's a bit early, but... Happy new year grandpa. " Kouro took out a small gift and gave it to his grandfather. 

"You too, next year you should bring your wife here. "

"Grandpa... Can we not talk about that, I'm still young... "

After joking and talking to each other, Kouro finally said goodbye to his grandfather. 

Kouro waved his hand, and left. 

His grandfather just looked at him with a gentle smile and when Kouro's back was no longer visible, his expression calmed down. 

Grandpa walked back to the graves of Kouro's parents. 

He stood alone, and stared at the two tombs, his originally black eyes glowing a bright purple. 

"Your son has grown up well..."
