Star Railway, starting as Kiana

What needs to be done today, should be done today.

"speak English!"

"I'm out of money, and I have nowhere to stay tonight."

This reason is impeccable.

Paimon didn't want to give up so easily. After all, Inazuma's environment was different from Liyue's, and there weren't many streetlights on the road. In addition, various rumors made Paimon dare not leave Luminous and Kiana's side from beginning to end.

He was afraid that if he lost his focus for even a moment, the two of them would disappear before his eyes, leaving him to face the darkness alone.

"Hey Kiana, you must have a place to stay here, right? Could we stay here for the night?"

Seeing the pitiful Paimon, Kiana refused without even thinking.

"Forget about it, Narukami Taisha doesn't have any extra rooms right now, and besides..."

"and?"

"And Narukami Shrine is haunted, wow!"

"ah!"

Paimon was startled by Kiana's sudden approach and immediately hid behind Ying, focusing intently on Ying's clothes. No matter how Ying tried to persuade him, Paimon did not peek out.

As for Ying, she felt as if her heart had been shot with an arrow. She didn't understand why Paimon was afraid. Kiana, who had deliberately scared her just now, was clearly cute, wasn't she?

Following the directions given in the commission, Kiana soon spotted a group of ronin in the distance. Among them was a sea monster wearing red armor, sharpening his sword by the light of a fire.

Nearby, Kiana also saw several talismans made using a technique that should have been lost to the gods.

Kiana found this in a book at Narukami Taisha.

And this is precisely the source of power that allows the Sea Demon to use fire attacks.

In contrast, there is the Sea Demon who can use the lightning element. To distinguish them, they are usually called Sea Demon Flame and Sea Demon Thunder in the game.

"Tch, the intelligence was wrong. I'll have to ask Catherine for more money when we get back."

Ying looked at the number of sea monsters that were more than the intelligence had indicated, but she had no intention of leaving.

Instead, he picked up the Unsharp Sword, intending to end the battle quickly and then return to have Catherine provide the Sea Demon with additional rewards.

"Who is it! Who's there!"

Although he betrayed righteousness, Hai Luan Gui was still an excellent martial artist. In fact, because he was so obsessed with fighting, his senses and strength were even two points better than those of ordinary martial artists.

Combined with the armor he wore and the talismans made using divine technology, even the holder of the Eye of God was no less formidable.

"Let's finish this quickly, it's getting late."

Luminous, wielding a one-handed sword, manipulated elemental power, using the rock element to seal off the surroundings and prevent anyone from escaping in the chaos. Then, Luminous began her solo performance.

"Ying has become stronger again."

"Is it?"

Kiana hadn't known Luna for very long and hadn't noticed any changes in Luna's strength.

But Paimon had been by Luminous's side ever since she began her journey, so he had always been aware of the changes in her strength.

However, she forgot one thing.

This is Inazuma. The ronin group and the sea monsters are not demons, but genuine humans.

Humans are born with emotions and selfish thoughts, and they will not choose to fight to the bitter end just because they are surrounded by mountains.

Seeing that Ying was so powerful and still able to move, the others turned their attention to Paimon and Kiana outside the battlefield.

"Stop her."

The Sea Demon commanded the other ronin to block Luminosity's path, while he himself charged towards Kiana and Paimon's support with his sword drawn.

His thought was, "These people came together. Since that's the case, if I capture these two guys who don't seem to have much fighting ability, then..."

He had already guessed the outcome, and a smug smile appeared on his face behind the helmet.

Just as Paimon was at a loss, and Luminous tried to turn back but was stopped by the Ronin.

Kiana took a step forward, accompanied by a sigh.

"Sigh, why do they all treat me like I have no fighting ability?"

Chapter 311 The Two Great "Milk Foams" of Teyvat

"So, how did he handle it?"

As the sea monster attacked Kiana and Paimon, Kiana defeated it.

After successfully dealing with the rest of the people, Ying came to Kiana's side, picked up a small twig and poked the sea monster who lacked martial ethics and was eventually stepped on by Kiana.

But how do we solve this?

Ying couldn't think of any particularly good solutions.

Tie it up with a rope?

Not really. If it were an ordinary ronin or a treasure-hunting group, they could just tie them up, but with the size of the Sea Demon, would tying it up with ropes really be effective?

But looking at the sea monster struggling to get up, only to be pinned down by Kiana and unable to move, Ying suddenly felt that if she were the one being stepped on, she would never struggle.

Looking at Kiana's white high heels and her delicate little feet, Ying suddenly felt a little thirsty and her stomach seemed a little hungry.

"Kiana, why are you rewarding him?"

The sea monster gave up struggling and looked at the blonde girl who was poking it with a branch in disbelief.

"No, are you serious?"

Paimon was also dumbfounded. Although Ying would often suddenly say some wild and inappropriate things, what was wrong with her today?

Something's wrong with you. Something's very wrong with you.

As for Kiana, who was in the middle of it, she suddenly had some doubts at this moment, wondering if she had actually come to Teyvat, or if this was some kind of fan-made world, a parallel world of Teyvat.

Otherwise, why would this firefly have such a strange personality?

Ying was not convinced by her own words (she was unaware of it), but instead put down the tree branch and stared intently at Kiana's fair, delicate, and flawless feet.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here so late?"

Just as Ying was pondering whether to eat white chocolate, dark chocolate, or the original flavor today, several shouts came from afar.

When the group of people walked over quickly, Kiana realized that they were all soldiers of the Heavenly Territory.

Besides the advance party of a few men carrying spears, a well-equipped and orderly force of no less than a hundred men was also approaching from behind.

In front of the rear troops, a tall person with shoulder-length short hair, wearing a black tight vest and a pure white shawl modified from a hunting robe, walked over.

Her sleeves were embroidered with the cobalt pattern of the Kujo family, and she wore a tengu mask at an angle on her head. Anyone from Inatsuma could recognize her at a glance.

This is Kujo Sara, a general who serves as the magistrate of the Heavenly Realm and bears the heavy responsibility of maintaining the stability of Inazuma.

These are also two of Teyvat's major "milk foam" dishes.

Seeing the ronin on the ground and the sea monster with a lifeless expression, trampled under Kiana's feet, the two who had come to scout ahead immediately understood what was going on.

But they didn't let their guard down just because the two were attractive and their targets were a group of ronin.

The two were definitely not ordinary people, as they were able to defeat so many ronin and also had a sea monster who knew how to use the talismans made with the supposedly lost technique of the gods.

Strange faces.

great power.

And instead of getting proper rest in the middle of the night, they're here.

Each of the three issues individually is not a problem, but with the resistance growing stronger, putting them together makes them highly suspicious.

Kiana, doesn't he recognize you?

"That's normal, after all, I'm not famous enough to be known by everyone."

While the two were whispering to each other, Kujo Sara also came up to them.

The two advance team members briefly recounted what they had seen and heard on their way there before returning to the ranks to await further orders from Kujo Sara.

The vast majority of people in this team are elites who are fighting on the front lines against the resistance.

It had been a long time since they last returned to Inazuma Castle, so naturally they didn't recognize Kiana.

However, as the general, Kujo Sara had to handle everything, from the resistance forces and the Eye Hunting Order to various matters within and around the castle.

So naturally, she also knew Kiana's identity.

"You're here, does Lord Kuji have any plans for you?"

Upon hearing Kujo Sara's words, before Kiana could react, the soldiers behind Kujo Sara were stunned.

If it weren't for the strict discipline under Kujo Sara's management, they would probably have started to stir and whisper among themselves, wanting to know the identity of the person that Kujo Sara, the general, addressed with such an honorific.

"No, I just came out for a stroll."

"Is that right?"

Kujo Sara frowned, but out of respect for Kiana's status and the general's trust and tolerance towards her, she said nothing.

But Ying, who was standing to the side, didn't receive the same treatment.

Kujo Sara's gaze swept over Ying, but she searched her memory for memories of this person.

She is outstanding in appearance and has considerable strength, and her clothes are completely out of place with Inazuma's style.

Furthermore, the fact that this person appeared beside Kiana, the "sister of the High Priestess," makes it hard not to speculate.

However, suspicion is just suspicion. Until Ying does something outrageous, she will only be on guard, but she will not actually arrest someone just because of suspicion.

"Do you need me to send someone to take you back?"

"No need, I'm not going back now."

Suddenly, Kiana thought of how to deal with the sea monster that was pretending to be dead at her feet.

"Saro, could you please take these people back with you?"

This affectionate address caused Kujo Sara to stiffen briefly.

After all, ever since she became the adopted daughter of the Kujo family and the general of the Tenryo magistrate, very few people have called her by her name directly.

Kujo Sara had forgotten when was the last time she was so close to someone that she addressed them by their first name.

However, after a brief moment of stunned silence, Kujo Sara regained his composure, waved his hand, and signaled the soldiers behind him to step forward and push the ronin and sea demons on the ground back to Inazuma Castle.

"Oh, what about my payment?"

Kujo Sara then realized that their appearance here and encounter with the ronin group was not a coincidence, but rather a request from the Adventurers' Guild.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone notify the Adventurers' Guild."

"Then let's say goodbye."

After Kujo Sara finished speaking, he led his soldiers and continued walking towards Inazuma Castle.

"Let's go too."

Kiana was curious as to why Kujo Sara had brought so many people back despite the dire situation at the front. Schrödinger's cat-like number of people, the population and landmass of Genshin Impact—these remain mysteries.

But seeing that Kujo Sara had already left, and with Hikari planning to go on to complete her next request, Kiana soon forgot about the matter.

Ah! I'm so sleepy, so tired! I'll update tomorrow, check out the plot, and then do some gacha pulls.

Chapter 312 Ying, Times Have Changed

"Ying, this thing is much better than a sword."

Paimon, holding the pistol Kiana had given her, began harvesting the monsters around her.

Paimon could take down these slimes with a single shot, and she even managed to shoot a passing wild boar.

"Hmph, let's see if they still say my fighting strength is inferior to that of a wild boar."

As he said this, Paimon looked at Ying without making any attempt to hide his true feelings.

As Ying watched Paimon stand still, frantically reaping kills with his pistol, she suddenly felt a passage of text appear in her mind.

"Sir, times have changed."

Because Paimon also participated in the battle, he quickly wiped out the slimes that were wandering around.
