Didn't you go to Teyvat to earn money to support me?

Is her technique better than ours?

“You can look into the second young lady of the Shaniat family in your own way. I feel she’s quite strong.” Shen Liang nodded. “It’s rare for a rich kid to train to this extent. Her physical skills are even stronger than Rosalia’s.”

“I’ll investigate her background further. Brother, you can decide for yourself first.” Bronya seemed to want to say something more, but she immediately cut off the video.

Shen Liang was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered, closed his notebook, and looked up at the second floor, "You got up a little late."

"Please... landlord, it's only seven o'clock."

Kiana, wearing a white tank top and hot pants, came out yawning. She stumbled down the stairs, holding onto the handrail, and then, feeling sleepy, grabbed Shen Jing's neck and slumped against him.

It was obvious that Kiana slept in her clothes yesterday. Shen Liang guessed that she had only taken off her top and knee-high socks. Her tight vest was pushed up by her firm breasts, revealing her slender waist and small belly button.

To be honest, Shen Jing wasn't sure if all girls were this sloppy. In his memory, girls of this age were all very dignified and concerned about their image. He had never seen them come out in public with messy hair.

"First of all, my name is Shen Liang. Secondly, Miss Kiana, aren't you being a bit too disrespectful to men?" Shen Liang frowned. "I suppose I can be considered a man too. Isn't it inappropriate for you to wear a tank top in front of a man you've only just met?"

Moreover, Shen Liang could smell a unique sweet fragrance emanating from Kiana, which made him somewhat embarrassed. The scent of a beautiful young girl is indeed very alluring to teenage boys, and this wasn't some big, cute girl like Rosalia; this was a genuine high school girl!

"A man?" Kiana, still fuming from waking up, couldn't help but laugh. "Hahaha, you call yourself a man... cough, sorry, but you're more of a boy. Let me guess how old you are? Fourteen?"

It's no wonder Kiana laughed loudly, because Shen Liang himself knew that the reason Cocolia took a liking to him when he was a child was because Cocolia thought he was a girl.

Even at the age of fifteen, Shen Liang was still considered short for his age. Perhaps the nutrition in the orphanage was really not good. Strictly speaking, Shen Liang did not begin to develop again until he left the orphanage at the age of eighteen.

Now that he has a second chance at life, Shen Liang knows very well what image he has in Kiana's eyes. Calling him "handsome" is an understatement. If he removed his Adam's apple, grew his hair longer, and made his legs thinner, he could go from being siblings to sisters with Seele.

The "pale, young, and thin" aesthetic is unacceptable! Men must possess masculinity! Shen Liang had never felt that these policies of the motherland were so enlightened!

Chapter Twelve: The protagonist is too weak to do anything right.

Therefore, Kiana doesn't think Shen Liang is the type she needs to be wary of. This is a common human failing; people tend to lower their guard around those who are good-looking and young.

"Besides, I'm already living here, you'll have to get used to sharing a room with such a beautiful woman~" Kiana stretched, her lazy, sleepy expression fading, replaced by a mischievous grin. "Wait, I suddenly realized, oh, you don't actually like girls, do you? Right, you're a boy but prettier than girls, and you were completely unmoved when you saw me yesterday. Turns out I was wrong, you're actually gay..."

Before she could finish uttering the word "***", Shen Liang shook off her arms that were wrapped around his neck and said coldly, "My sexual orientation is perfectly normal. I only look like this because I have good genes."

"It's okay, don't hide it from me. In fact, I don't discriminate against girls at all, because I'm very loving!" Kiana patted his shoulder hard. "Gender equality, and in some ways I'm a lesbian too. I'm open to any pretty child, regardless of gender!"

Since you're using the word "pretty" to describe yourself, you must be a lesbian!

Faced with Kiana's comforting words, Shen Liang felt somewhat conflicted. He realized he needed to keep a close eye on this girl, otherwise Rosalia and Lilia might end up in her "good ball" zone too. While he couldn't say he was discriminating against lesbians—after all, he knew that Bronya and Seele had been childhood sweethearts who had pledged their lives to each other during their orphanage days—Shen Liang didn't want his other two sisters to become like that.

Good heavens, all the sisters are lesbians! Does that mean no one will call him "uncle" anymore?

But then he thought about it again, and the thought of handing Rosalia and Bronya over to other men... made Shen Liang inexplicably angry and frustrated!

Is it true that every older brother will have such a day? The thought of his quirky younger sisters leaving him sooner or later... Oh well, there will always be such a moment. Shen Liang just hopes that day will come later, much later, or better yet, never come.

With too many random thoughts running through his mind, Shen Liang suddenly realized that Kiana was sitting next to him, staring intently at him.

The girl's white eyelashes were thick and long, exuding an exotic charm reminiscent of the snowy landscapes of Northern Europe amidst her quiet demeanor. At this moment, her pretty face was only about ten centimeters away from Shen Liang's nose, close enough that if Shen Liang dared to be a rogue, he could easily kiss her lips with the slightest touch.

Shen Liang's mouth was slightly open, and she felt her heart skip a beat.

"What are you thinking about?" the girl asked curiously.

Shen Liang was stunned for a long time before turning his head away in embarrassment and stiffly changing the subject: "I need you to teach me how to use a gun."

Kiana glanced down at his pants, a look of disbelief on her face. "Is it... that you're saying this to a girl...?"

"Your brain is full of garbage!"

------

Asaka Shooting Range, Nerima Ward, Tokyo.

This open-air shooting range is one of the largest shooting ranges in Tokyo. Japan is a country where guns are prohibited, and most shooting ranges are indoors and only allow air guns. Only open-air shooting ranges like this one, which belong to the state, allow live ammunition shooting.

Today was a weekday, and there were very few people at the shooting range. Shen Liang put on his protective gear, had Qiyana show her gun license, and secretly handed the coach several shopping vouchers worth tens of thousands of yuan, indicating that he didn't need to come to teach.

The two then found an unmanned shooting range. Shen Liang examined the P230 JP provided at the range and was speechless for a moment.

"Heh, the P230 was already a low-powered firearm. The Japanese police changed the firepower from .380 ACP to .32 and added an external safety." Kiana shrugged. "If the police were given this kind of weapon, the time it would take to fire would be enough for the other side to empty their magazine. Even if they hit someone, they might not be able to take them down. It's only slightly better than a revolver."

“On average, Japanese police fire less than ten shots a year. Most crimes in this country don’t involve firearms. Rather, they put more effort into kendo than marksmanship. Handguns are essentially meaningless.” Shen Liang looked at Kiana’s waist, where a woman’s leather belt around the girl’s slender waist had a gun holster tied to each side.

The Shaniat family's power is indeed extraordinary. While Japan prohibits civilians from owning handguns, Kiana not only possesses a gun license but also a specially issued concealed carry permit. This means she can not only possess any firearm but also conceal it in public places without being held accountable.

Even if Shen Liang has a gun license, he cannot play with a handgun. And even if he carries a rifle on the street, he must always make sure that others can see at least three sides of his rifle, otherwise it is illegal.

Seeing Shen Liang's gaze, Kiana pulled her white sidearm from its holster, twirled it in her hand, and said with a grin, "What? You like this one?"

Shen Liang nodded honestly, "It's very beautiful."

"This was custom-made for me by my family. The prototype is the Magnumeagle, yes, the king of handguns that you boys are most familiar with, the Desert Eagle." Kiana smiled smugly, looking even more naive. "Ordinary people can't handle this."

Indeed, while the Desert Eagle is the king of handguns, it's completely unsuitable for actual combat. It wasn't originally designed for the military or police; it was intended for hunting elephants and hippos in Africa. Aside from the recoil requiring 80 kilograms of weight to overcome, its mere two kilograms of weight makes it difficult for a human to wield effectively. The kind of dual-wielding Desert Eagles seen in movies, firing them repeatedly, is simply beyond human capability.

"Of course, a custom-made one is definitely better than a mass-produced one. This thing has a modified barrel, bolt, and magazine, and the caliber of the bullets it uses has also been reduced. This means that the rate of fire and magazine capacity have been increased, and the recoil has been reduced to the point where I can dual-wield it. Of course, the trade-off is that the attack power is slightly lower. It used to be able to kill a hippopotamus, but now it can probably only kill a lion."

Seeing Shen Liang's curiosity, she tossed one of them over, "Want to try?"

Shen Liang accepted it without hesitation!

This is the Desert Eagle, an indispensable weapon in all shooting games! Release the safety, cock the gun, grip it with both hands, and aim—all in one smooth motion!

"Oh~ Is it because it's my personal weapon that you're so eager to get it? How perverted!" Kiana chuckled, then walked behind Shen Liang, who was completely focused, grabbed his arm, and shouted, "Steady! Keep your eyes on the crosshair! The crosshair should be tangent to the lower edge of the black ring! Shoot when you're ready!"

Shen Liang gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger! Having never handled a gun before, even though he was prepared, he hadn't expected the recoil to be so astonishing. He was thrown backward in a "sand-sand-landing" motion!

Then he fell into a soft embrace.

Kiana was thrown off balance by his backward lean and fell onto the sand. She instinctively grabbed Shen Liang's head, which landed right on her chest. The two of them fell onto the sand, one above the other, staring blankly at the blinding sky.

Shen Liang felt that the shock absorption effect on the back of his head was very good, which reminded him of the soft touch when Cocolia held him and told him stories when he was a child. So when he realized what was happening, he hurriedly got up.

He was prepared to be scolded by Kiana, but the girl blushed, got up, stomped on his foot, glanced at him, and stomped again, "You... isn't it too much to ask for a month's rent waiver?"

"That's it?"

Chapter Thirteen: The gun has been sent to you; it will arrive the next day.

"Otherwise, do you want me to take responsibility?" Kiana pouted. "I don't want to be called a perverted younger man-lover."

Kiana truly lives up to her reputation as a champion of gender equality. Shen Liang was surprised that her statement, "I treat all beautiful people equally, regardless of gender," wasn't just empty talk; she even seemed to feel like she was taking advantage of him.

However, Shen Liang also realized once again that Kiana's petite figure was indeed a disguise. She was actually quite fierce. Shen Liang didn't know how her strong and toned waist, which didn't seem to have any muscles, could have such great strength, and how she could be unaffected by the recoil of two Desert Eagles.

Even Shen Liang, a Desert Eagle, couldn't stand steadily. He had started training his body at the age of eighteen, but now he felt he needed to start now.

Are all girls this fierce these days? I might get bullied by my wife after we get married.

"Looks like you can't handle my thing yet. I was thinking that since you've helped me so much, I'd give you a Desert Eagle if you could use one." Kiana shrugged and handed him the P230. "You should stick with this. You have to start practicing your marksmanship by being able to hold the gun properly."

Shen Liang stared at the P230 for a while, then took it and said, "This is fine for practice, but I need a more powerful weapon, one that can at least withstand a level 2A body armor."

A level 2A body armor can roughly protect against a standard pistol bullet with a muzzle velocity of 352 meters. In layman's terms, it can protect against bullets that can blow up a car axle with one shot. Its upper limit of protection is not as high as that of a Glock or Desert Eagle.

Because only such a weapon can truly threaten the power of the "Eye of God".

"So violent? Landlord, you seem to be hiding something," Kiana said thoughtfully.

Shen Liang continued shooting under her guidance, "Aren't you curious?"

“Everyone has secrets. My landlord never asked me how I got to Japan, what I was doing here, or how it would affect you.” Kiana held his hand. “I’m a smart person. Smart people don’t ask why about everything—don’t look at me, look at the target!”

Shooting training lasted from morning until 3 p.m., after which Shen Liang and Qiyana parted ways.

Kiana is supposedly going to complete some enrollment procedures. She's essentially coming to Japan to attend school. Strictly speaking, Kiana graduated from high school in Germany and is now in her first year of high school.

She must be a transfer student. It's December now, during winter break, and school starts on the 8th of next month. It's said she came to Japan because the headmistress of this high school is her aunt, and her aunt isn't a member of the Shaniat family.

In short, it's the same old princess escape story.

When Shen Liang returned home, Rosalia and Lilia were very well-behaved and didn't go out. Although these two were lively, they were also quite homebodies. If Shen Liang went out without them, they could go months without seeing any outsiders. They were completely dependent on others, so if he starved to death, that was the problem. This was also why, even after transmigrating, Shen Liang still had to come back every few days to fill their refrigerator.

At this moment, two little girls are sitting side by side in front of the TV watching some domestic horror movie. Both of them have very surprised expressions, with their mouths wide open. It's unclear why they have such expressions.

Just then, he received another message on his phone.

Metal Gear: Bronya has already contacted the arms dealer. Brother, send me your requirements first, and Bronya will tailor-make one for you based on your physical examination data when you were fifteen.

Do you still have your physical exam data from when you were 15?!

Shen Liang always felt that he was being controlled by Bronya at all times, with no privacy whatsoever. But now that Bronya was helping him, Shen Liang couldn't complain. He could only sigh and send a voice message: "Desert Eagle, two of them. Reduce recoil and increase magazine capacity. Modify the barrel and add a suppressor."

It's completely based on Kiana's two white Desert Eagles. Shen Liang hasn't handled any other handguns, so he can only give a rough idea. Besides, he's practicing with Kiana's Desert Eagles right now; practice makes perfect.

Bronya remained silent for a long time. Just as Shen Liang was about to connect to the long-unused Wi-Fi, thinking the signal might be bad, a message finally came from her side.

Metal Gear Solid Wolf Fang: Heh.

What do you mean by that "heh"? Are you upset about something? If you are, say it to my face! What's wrong with you, kid?

Shen Liang felt a chill run down his spine. He sensed that Bronya had been acting strangely these past few days. Not only was her tone hostile when she spoke to him, but she also seemed to get inexplicably angry! How had Bronya, who had always been there for him in the orphanage, always listened to him and was kind, sweet, and considerate despite being a nobody, become this eccentric and unpredictable person?

What happened to the promise to be her brother's little darling for life?

Bronya went offline. Shen Liang wasn't sure if she was invisible, and she didn't get a reply to several of his messages.

Shen Liang pinched the end of her hair and thought for a moment, knowing that she should still be in Russia. Given her less-than-honorable profession, Bronya might have some connections with those unsavory war dealers... In fact, even if she didn't know any arms dealers, it wouldn't matter, as Cocolia herself was a soldier, and she would definitely have channels to get a few guns.

Metal Gear Cloth Wolf Fang: The gun has been sent to you, it will arrive the next day, remember to sign for it.
