Star Railway, starting as Kiana

Seeing the somewhat puzzled look in Yae no Miko's eyes, and considering the changes in her voice and body, Kiana immediately turned around and looked at the calm, mirror-like surface of the water.

In the reflection on the water, Kiana saw another Yae no Miko, or rather, the figure of Yae Sakura.

Kiana calmed herself down, closed her eyes, and sensed the changes in her body and her own uncontrollable behavior just now. Kiana understood.

His jinx seemed to have worked again, and once again it manifested as someone else.

This time it's Yae Sakura.

However, that's not quite right. It's not the Yae Sakura from the pseudo-Herrscher period, nor the Miko period; it's more like a virtual concept of Yae Sakura.

She possesses the abilities of Yae Sakura, as well as the abilities of Himeko, or rather, the Herrscher of Corruption from the previous civilization, and Yae Rin from the previous civilization.

Besides that, Kiana's biggest problem now is that she's like a fox, unable to resist certain foods, while her ears can be raised and lowered at will.

Thinking of this, Yae Sakura put away her ears and returned to normal.

Kiana's state ended there, but she didn't choose to revert to her original form. She never expected that compared to the hacker abilities left by Brownie, the power left by the Herrscher of the Void, her cat form and child form at the time, and Kallen's unique charm...

Aside from her ability to transform, Yae Sakura's greatest ability was to make rice balls.

Yes, it's Yae Sakura's exclusive giant rice ball, Kallen's favorite!

"Yes"

After Kiana explained her situation, she was misunderstood by Yae no Miko.

What? You're not Yae Sakura? This Yae Sakura is just a friend you know. Kiana is just an outsider from another world, and she came here by chance.

Yae no Miko assumed that Kiana was disguising herself to avoid getting hurt.

In reality, Yae Sakura is her true form, while Kiana is the disguise she made using transformation techniques.

"Little one, oh Kiana, do you have a place to stay now?"

"Well, no."

Looking at Kiana's "innocent" appearance, Yae no Miko suddenly imagined countless stories.

After being homeless and wandering aimlessly, Kiana finally met a member of her clan named Tingyun and spent a pleasant time with him. However, Tingyun left Kiana, and Kiana was once again left alone and homeless.

Tingyun: Achoo! Who's spreading rumors that I'm dead again?

"Kiana, do you have anywhere to go? If not, would you like to come to my Narukami Shrine?"

Chapter 297 Little Fox: Waaaaah

"What? Lord Yaeji's sister has been found? So Lord Yaeji had a sister?"

"Huh? Isn't it a daughter?"

"Oh, isn't that Mommy?"

"Huh? Isn't she a child bride?"

The last sentence from the passerby instantly drew everyone's attention, and they all looked at him with an extremely strange expression.

Everyone exclaimed in unison, "Huh? No, aren't you afraid of getting arrested for spreading such rumors?"

The last gossipy passerby: ?

Wait, didn't you guys start this? Why am I suddenly being made to take the blame all by myself?

However, given how far things have spread, it's clear that Yae no Miko holds a very special position in Inazuma.

The appearance of a little shrine maiden who looked exactly like her gave many people something to talk about over tea. In fact, because of this, the oppressive atmosphere caused by the national isolation order and the eye-hunting order was somewhat relieved.

Even the underhanded tactics used by Yae no Miko, who subtly manipulated the situation to make it clear to everyone that Kiana was a member of the Yae family and to discourage any underhanded schemes, did not expect to be able to stabilize the order in Inazuma.

This also made her gaze towards Kiana increasingly tender and affectionate.

His eyes were practically scalding.

Yae no Miko: "My long-lost descendant is truly a lucky charm. He has only been here a few days and has already brought a fresh atmosphere."

Meanwhile, Kiana, who was eating, felt something was off as she watched Yae no Miko, whose eyes were starting to drool and who kept picking food for her, as if she wanted to chew the food up and feed it to her.

"What does she take me for? Does she really think of me as her junior?"

Putting aside the fact that Kiana is not Yae Sakura herself, and disregarding the fact that Yae Sakura and Yae no Miko are equivalent beings from another world, even if the two are from the same world, Yae Sakura in the current civilization is 500 years old, not a child anymore, regardless of the previous civilization.

When it was time to eat, Yae no Miko was in a good mood and wanted to take her "junior" to try her favorite fried tofu ramen shop.

"Go tell Kiana to come out, we..."

Before Yae no Miko could finish speaking, Kiana was seen holding a rice ball the size of a basketball, with a bite taken out of it.

Looking at Kiana, whose mouth still had rice grains stuck to it, Yae no Miko couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead.

This "younger generation" of ours is great in every way, except for his big appetite.

Other people's rice balls are only the size of their palm, how many can they eat?

Looking at Kiana with a single camera, one of these huge rice balls isn't enough for her sometimes; her record is eating three without her stomach showing any signs of swelling.

At first, Yae no Miko thought that Kiana had been eating and sleeping in the open for many years, and that was why she ate so much food after receiving it.

It turned out that she had already restrained herself from overeating at first; she simply had a large appetite.

"Sigh, with such a big appetite, who will be able to afford to feed him in the future? Speaking of which, this little guy has been homeless all this time. Could it be because he eats so much that he's eaten up all our savings?"

The more Yae no Miko thought about it, the more reasonable her speculation seemed. But what was the point of eating rice balls every day? Even if something other than food was added to them, outsiders would think it was Narukami Taisha and that she, Yae no Miko, was broke.

"Little one, let's go, I'll take you to eat fried tofu."

"it is good!"

Watching Kiana devour the enormous rice ball in no time, Yae no Miko couldn't help but complain, "Is the rice ball really that delicious? Couldn't you have put it down first and eaten it later?"

After bringing Kiana to her favorite ramen shop, Yae no Miko first ordered two bowls of fried tofu ramen.

But after glancing at Kiana, Yae no Miko added, "One bowl is normal, and the other bowl is noodles and fried tofu, especially the fried tofu, add two, oh no, three servings of each."

"Okay, Yae Miyaji."

However, upon seeing the two Yae no Mikos seated there, the restaurant owner was momentarily taken aback. But recalling the rumors he'd recently heard from customers, he also assumed Kiana was one of the Yae no Mikos's "sisters."

However, the shop owner doesn't believe that this triple-plus version of fried tofu ramen was prepared by Yae no Miko for Kiana.

After all, this amount of dough is so large that even a slender and well-proportioned young girl, or even a sumo wrestler from Inazuma, or a famous competitive eater, wouldn't add three times the amount of dough to their fried tofu.

"My family's fried tofu ramen has a really wide variety of options!"

The fried tofu is delicious and comes in a wide variety of varieties, with one bowl being equivalent to two or three bowls at other places. This has earned the restaurant many repeat customers. Among them, the most special one is Yae no Miko, the chief priest of Narukami Shrine.

But when he placed the two bowls of noodles on the table, his jaw nearly dropped in astonishment.

I thought Yae no Miko was going to share the triple-sized fried tofu ramen with Kiana, and that the regular portion was for someone else or something to be packed up later.

But when Kiana finished the ramen and fried tofu in the "bowl" in no time, and even drank the soup, leaving nothing behind.

The shop owner began to question the meaning of life.

"Could it be that the portion sizes at my house are actually quite average?"

Ignoring the withdrawn shop owner, Yae no Miko, as usual, ordered another serving of fried tofu, paid, and left the shop with Kiana.

On the way back to Narukami Shrine from Inazuma Castle, just as they reached the country lane of White Fox Field, a fox emerged from the bushes near the road and came to Yae no Miko's side, whimpering softly.

Little Fox: Waaaaah! Waaaah! This place was haunted not long ago, there was a witch wearing a mask!

Little Fox: Waaaaah, waaaah. And recently a group of treasure hunters has appeared here. Unable to steal money from passersby, they've started offering sacrifices to the shrine in Konta Village.

Little Fox: Waaaaah, waaaah, waaaah. Those people are so mean! Not only did they take the fruit and dry rations, they even took the fried tofu!

Kiana listened to the little fox's words for a long time before she reacted.

Good heavens, so this little fox has come to complain.

But this treasure-hunting group is really in a sorry state, actually trying to steal offerings from these little foxes. Aren't they afraid of getting their comeuppance?

After all, gods truly exist on the continent of Teyvat.

"Alright, alright, I'll send someone to drive those guys away. Here, you can have this piece of fried tofu."

Yae no Miko took out the fried tofu she had just packed and placed it in front of the little fox, who then nuzzled against Yae no Miko's ankle with remarkable understanding.

Just as he was about to leave with the fried tofu in his mouth and find a quiet place to enjoy it, he noticed a gaze.

The little fox looked at Kiana, its small head seemingly blank for a moment.

Little Fox: Waaaaah, waaaah. How strange, how come there are two Yae no Chong?

Chapter 298 Lord Yae's sister doesn't have the surname Yae.

"It's okay, let's go."

Little Fox: Ying Ying Ying.

Yae no Miko looked at Kiana and noticed that Kiana was staring at the little fox who had come to complain.

Yae no Miko thought Kiana had some questions.

result...

"Isn't this a case of the fox borrowing the fox's power? No wonder no one has touched Inazuma's fox; it turns out he has a powerful backer."

"Hmph, little guy, you can rely on me too."

"Forget it, I'm not a fox."

Yae no Miko ignored Kiana's words. After all, if you weren't a fox, how could you hear what that little fox was saying?

Kiana also found it strange that neither Yae Sakura nor Yae Rin had the ability to communicate with animals, because Yae Sakura's ears were just a product of the Honkai.

"what!"

Kiana suddenly remembered; it seemed to be because of the synesthetic beacon.

This is the work of Elijah Salas, the 56th member of the Genius Club, but he did not make it public. In the end, the Academy of Knowledge replicated this work, which solved the communication problem between various races in the interstellar space.

It is clear that the fox race is not a minority race in the universe, so their language has also been recorded.

Kiana nodded after she understood the reason.

This further solidified Yae no Miko's beliefs.

Besides the white fox clan, only the raccoon dog clan can understand the fox's words and master the art of transformation.

Could this little guy, who looks exactly like me, possibly be a tanuki?

Along the way, many little foxes came to Yae no Miko, either to complain, to share their recent experiences, or to tip off others.

It can be said that apart from the castle tower where General Raiden resides, Yae no Miko possesses the most powerful intelligence network simply by relying on the little foxes scattered throughout Inazuma.

In addition, there's Narukami Taisha, Yaedo, and Yae no Miko's own power.

It's close enough that he knows everything about Inazuma, if not everything.

"By the way, Kiana, that restless traveler is coming to Inazuma. Although she's an honorary knight of Mondstadt and a hero of Liyue, her reputation is...well, let's just say it's not great..."

"In addition, something might happen to Inazuma recently. Although I'm here, it won't affect you, but you should still be careful, especially stay away from that traveler."

Yae no Miko already knew that Hokuto's Southern Cross fleet had passed through the thunderstorm area and had arrived in Inazuma's territory, but she did not make it public.

She also felt that Ying couldn't continue like this, and Inazuma was also about to give up.

The most useful piece right now is the Traveler.

Yae no Kami was unaware of what was happening in Langhuangqi. All Qi Yana knew was that she had already achieved her goal of pretending to be obedient and could now start causing trouble.

As Yae no Miko walked towards Narukami Taisha, passing by the Kamisato Yashiki, Kiana saw a girl wearing a gradient blue haori and a dark blue pleated skirt walking towards them.

"Divine Child, you should go back first. I want to wander around by myself."

Yae no Miko noticed Kiana's gaze fall on Inazuma, the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, who was managing family affairs and coordinating everyone at the entrance of the Kamisato residence.

Yae no Miko did not stop them.

Anyway, that blond guy hasn't arrived yet, and she knows about Shinji Ryouka's personality and what she's done. Letting the two peers interact more is also to prevent Kiana from having no friends in the future and only being able to stay at Narukami Shrine all day, becoming a shut-in girl who does nothing but eat and sleep all day.

Thinking of this, a scene suddenly appeared in Yae no Miko's mind.

Her best friend, Ying, was reclining in the Pure Land of the Heart, eating potato chips, reading a light novel, and drinking dumpling milk, wearing loose clothes.

Beside her, Kiana was doing the same thing.

"Oh no! One homebody girl is enough, but we can't let the Shadow Belt ruin Kiana!"
