Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

Yae Sakura picked up Theresa and ran towards Kallen and the others.

"Let go of me! I can walk by myself!!" Theresa shouted, trying to break free from Yae Sakura's embrace. She was the headmistress; if other students saw her being held in someone's arms, she would be mortified.

Yae Sakura really wanted to say to Theresa, "Your legs are too short and you walk too slowly," but her good manners made her rephrase it differently.

"I want to see Karen as soon as possible. I'll hold you in my arms so we can get there faster."

"Well... alright then..." Theresa didn't say anything more; she understood the feelings of longing and yearning between lovers. She could only bury her head in Yae Sakura's arms, trying to avoid being recognized by passersby.

After a while, Yae Sakura suddenly stopped and stood still. Not far from her, Kyuujou was slowly walking towards her with Kallen by the hand.

"Why is it so far... how much longer? I'm hungry again." Karen rubbed her tummy; she hadn't had anything good to eat for half an hour.

"All you ever think about is eating! Look at yourself in history, and look at yourself now—the difference is incredible!!"

"Then what should I do? I don't need to fight at all, and there's so much good food in this era, what's wrong with me eating more!" Karen retorted to Jiuxiao, unconvinced.

"Hey, what brings you guys here?" Jiu Xiao stopped in his tracks when he saw Yae Sakura and Theresa not far away.

"Who is it? Ouch!"

Blindfolded, Karen was caught off guard and bumped into Jiu Xiao, then fell backward. Because she couldn't see, Karen panicked for a moment, but someone instantly appeared behind her and caught her.

"Are you... alright?" Yae Sakura asked gently, looking at Kallen in her arms.

Hearing that voice that haunted her memories, Karen ripped off the black blindfold and looked at the person embracing her.

"Is that you, Sakura?" Kallen's voice trembled slightly as she reached out to touch Yae Sakura's cheek.

Yae Sakura grasped the hand on her face and looked tenderly at Kallen. "It's me... It's been a long time, Kallen."

"Sakura~"

"Karen~"

The two gazed at each other tenderly, all their longing transforming into silent love upon seeing each other, filling the space between them.

"I'm sorry, Sakura... I actually..." Touching her beloved's face, Kallen hesitated. She didn't know whether she should tell Yae Sakura that she wasn't the person she longed for...

"No need to say anything, I understand... I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Forgive me, Kallen. I love you..." Yae Sakura, with tears streaming down her face, cupped Kallen's face in her hands, then gently closed her eyes and kissed her.

Feeling the warmth in her mouth, Kallen's eyes widened. But when Sakura's tears fell on Kallen's face, Kallen realized her own feelings.

I love you too, Sakura...

Slowly, Kallen closed her eyes and began to wholeheartedly respond to Yae Sakura's love.

Jiu Xiao silently covered Theresa's eyes, telling her that children shouldn't look at such things. As for why Theresa was in Jiu Xiao's arms... it was because Yae Sakura had just run to catch Kallen and immediately shoved Theresa into her arms. Yae Sakura was so fast that neither Jiu Xiao nor Theresa had time to react.

Theresa forcefully pried open Jiu Xiao's fingers, and then she and Jiu Xiao watched Kallen and Yae Sakura kissing passionately.

Watching the two kiss so lovingly, Theresa couldn't help but sigh that kissing was the best way to express love between two people, but unfortunately Cecilia was unwilling to kiss her.

It's all that damned bastard Siegfried's fault for stealing Cecilia! Not only did he steal the woman he loved, but that bastard even forced a kiss on Cecilia right in front of him! Forced by Siegfried's lewdness, Cecilia didn't even resist...

Waaaaah~ My Cecilia...

Looking at Theresa, who was inexplicably teary-eyed in his arms, Jiu Xiao couldn't help but sigh. Theresa was such a sentimental person. She was actually moved to tears by Kallen and Yae Sakura's love!

"By the way, have you told Yae Sakura about Kallen's specific situation?"

Jiuxiao suddenly realized that Kallen was supposed to say that she was a virtual personality transcribed from Kallen, and that the real Kallen was dead. But Yae Sakura had apologized first and even accepted Yae Sakura.

"Huh? What did you say?" Theresa blinked her big eyes and shook her head. But then she understood what Jiuxiao was asking. "I haven't told her yet. I thought you would."

Seeing the two still embracing and weeping, supporting each other through thick and thin, Jiu Xiao smiled and patted Theresa's head.

"If she didn't say anything, that's fine. Let Karen handle the rest herself!"

Chapter 103 I'm so interested, I really want to touch it!

"Jiuxiao, everything's taken care of. Do you need me..." Cortana held up a high-resolution photo of Kallen and Yae Sakura kissing, while making a gesture as if she were putting a hat on herself.

"That's enough. I don't want the Schicksal headquarters to fly directly over St. Freya Academy tomorrow. If we dare to send it to Otto, he'll definitely kill us." Jiuxiao quickly stopped Cortana's dangerous action. It's fine to joke around normally, but if we really dared to mock Otto to his face, Otto would definitely kill us.

"Well, never mind then... It's a real shame." Cortana said with a regretful look as she put the photo back into the database.

"Just letting it go won't work. This is a rare opportunity to make Otto lose face." Jiu Xiao tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about how to let Otto know without Otto beating him up.

"Here's what we'll do: in the next few days, post some everyday photos on my Moments that are only visible to Otto. Then, gradually post this picture of Kallen and Yae Sakura kissing, as well as some intimate pictures of me and Kiana, in a way that is only visible to Otto."

Otto regularly receives photos of Theresa's daily life that I secretly take for him. Sooner or later, he'll notice something's wrong with my account, then hack into my Moments to secretly observe, and that's how he'll find that photo.

As long as he discovers it himself by secretly watching, even if he gets angry, he won't have any reason to directly cause trouble for me.

"As expected of you, it seems I'm still far behind you and have a lot to learn."

"Study hard, watch carefully, you have a long way to go!" Jiu Xiao combed his hair with one hand, his face full of pride.

"By the way, Cortana, are you now able to hack into Schicksal without being detected?"

"It's a bit difficult, but as long as it's something trivial, they definitely won't notice. You mean...?"

Cortana looked at Jiuxiao, and Jiuxiao looked at Cortana as well. Then the two of them let out a series of cackling laughs.

"Eh~" Judah, who was guarding outside the door, glanced at the master and servant inside the room with disdain.

----------

To encourage students to express their individuality, Theresa allowed the Valkyries of St. Freya Academy to apply for custom appearances for their uniforms and armor. Kiana, Mei, and Bronya all designed their own uniform and armor looks.

Originally, Kaguya, who was too lazy to get maggots, didn't plan to apply for a custom appearance, since she already had the exoskeleton "Sabayou" and her usual uniform was fine. But Mei wasn't going to let Kaguya, who had such a great figure, go. She dragged Kaguya to design a uniform for her and then dragged her to submit the custom appearance application.

Seeing Mei, who had just dealt with Hui Huo and was now staring at him with eyes glowing green, Jiu Xiao quickly waved his hand in refusal. He really didn't need any custom appearance.

Because women have a much higher tolerance for Honkai than most men, it is primarily Valkyries who fight against Honkai. And naturally, St. Freya Academy, which trains Valkyries, is an all-girls school...

There were no ready-made uniforms available for Jiuxiao; if she wanted them, they would all have to be custom-made. So Jiuxiao chose the same privilege as Walter: freedom of dress! As long as it wasn't too outrageous, she could wear whatever she wanted.

It's been over two months since Kiana and her friends arrived at St. Freya Academy, and today they finally received the uniforms and armor they designed themselves.

The group of people were overjoyed to receive their uniforms and immediately went to change into them.

Kiana's Valkyrie uniform is a custom-made ranged guerrilla-style "Ranger".

Illustration.

This uniform reduces the protective area of ​​the original uniform, covering only the vital organs, while the rest of the body is covered by special fibers. It also includes a small cape, which can provide Kiana with necessary concealment when needed.

This uniform greatly enhances Kiana's agility but reduces her defense; however, it is well-suited for Kiana's long-range shooting.

Although Kiana wanted to rush in and land a couple of punches, she chose ranged guerrilla tactics because Mei had chosen melee specialization, so Kiana didn't want to conflict with Mei's position.

Mei's outfit is a custom-made Valkyrie "Strike" suit, designed for close combat. This uniform was custom-made for Mei to facilitate her swordsmanship. Although her entire body is covered in armor, the special material allows Mei to have both defense and some agility.

Mei's youthful dress appearance makes her seem more approachable than others.

Illustration.

If Mei and Kiana's armors highlight their personal charm, then Bronya's armor is all about providing a sense of security...

Bronya's uniform is a "chariot." It incorporates many mecha elements into the original military uniform design, making the exoskeleton of Bronya's legs appear less conspicuous. It also adds a touch of cuteness to the petite Bronya.

Illustration.

However, Jiuxiao felt that Huihuo's outfit was the best; it was more like armor than a uniform. It wasn't much different from Huihuo's usual clothes, but it incorporated some mecha elements, similar to Bronya's. If Bronya's outfit represented the spiraling structure of industrial mecha, then Huihuo's embodied the streamlined beauty of a new era of mecha. Especially the two small, mecha-style horns protruding from Huihuo's head—they were particularly adorable.

Huihuo's armored uniform, "Crimson Comet".

(The author doesn't have this equipment. If someone can equip this armor with the Shining Flame set, here's a screenshot for everyone to see.)

"Raiden Mei! Why are there two little horns on my clothes?! You bastard, Nine Heavens, stop touching them!"

Hui slapped away Jiuxiao's hand that was touching his horn in a huff, and then charged toward Mei with a shout.

But Mei grabbed Kaguya's two corners and pressed her down onto the sofa.

"Hey, I really care about Kaguya's horns, I really want to touch them~" Mei chuckled as she touched Kaguya's little horns. She was determined to get a pair of horns for herself someday, they would look really good.

"Ugh~ I'm not clean anymore..." Hui Huo collapsed into Mei's arms with a look of utter despair, letting Mei stroke her breasts.

"These two have such a good relationship~" Karen watched them playfully bickering happily.

Seeing Kallen staring intently at Mei and Kaguya, Yae Sakura felt a little jealous.

"Kallen, want to try them? My fox ears feel really nice too~"

"Hehe, then I won't be polite~" Kallen slowly turned her head, suddenly grabbed Yae Sakura's ear, and then gently stroked it.

"Waaaaah~" Yae Sakura was startled by Kallen's sudden outburst, but quickly recovered and let out a comfortable waaaaah.

Chapter 104 Searching for the Nine Netherworlds

"Is there only one year left...?"

Theresa sighed as she looked at the Valkyrie medical report in her hand.

Himeko's Honkai energy adaptability is actually quite poor... In addition, she underwent the artificial stigmata transplant at a later age than normal, so the artificial stigmata has severely eroded Himeko's body, and her lifespan is already very short...

Over the past few thousand years, the only naturally occurring Stigmata found by Destiny are those of the Shaniat and Kaslana families, as well as those of Jiuxiao, Raiden Mei, and Wuse Huihuo...
