Star Railway, starting as Kiana

Looking at the well-behaved and adorable Kiana in her arms, Ying didn't actually rub her head against Kiana and cuddle her. Instead, she gently stroked Kiana's fur, just like she had with the pink-haired little fox.

After petting the cat for a while, Kage and Yae no Miko also discussed Kiana's identity.

That was a descendant of the Nekomata clan, who had been separated from his family and lived elsewhere.

Because of his dissatisfaction with the Eye Hunting Order and the Isolation Order, he wanted to challenge Musou's One-Sword after returning from his training.

As a result, by sheer chance, I witnessed this scene of the Eye Hunting Ceremony.

"Wait a minute, what do you mean by fighting with all your might, then fleeing in disarray, and finally collapsing on the roadside due to severe injuries and being captured by patrolling Shogunate soldiers?"

"Hmm, isn't it good? That's how all of Yaedo's authors write, isn't it interesting?"

"Interesting my ass!"

Finally, despite Kiana's resistance, Yae Miko changed the script so that she was found by Kujo Sara, and under the siege of her and her soldiers, she was eventually captured due to exhaustion.

"Alas, what a pity. I was hoping to write it so that I would step in, and you would be so attracted by my beauty that you would willingly surrender."

Since no one paid any attention to Yae no Miko, she didn't bother making a fool of herself and took out a small notebook to write something down.

If Kiana and Kage looked over, they would see the title of the book written by Yae no Miko.

Genius Cat Girl Doesn't Dream of Fox Fairy Tsukasa

...

Kujo Sara, who was leading his soldiers in a standoff against the rebels, was summoned back to Inazuma Castle.

After hearing the general's instructions, Kujo Sara said nothing, but silently accepted the mission and went to the agreed location.

If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way. So, the drama of Kujo Sara leading his army to besiege Kiana began.

Apart from Kujo Sara, none of the people involved in the siege knew that this was just a performance with a predetermined ending.

So they were full of fighting spirit, just to do their part and try to get a reward.

As Kiana and Kujo Sara perfectly portrayed the scene, and with most of the Shogunate army soldiers falling to the ground, Kiana winked at Kujo Sara.

Kujo Sara responded as well.

Kiana drew the bowstring taut and unleashed a lightning bolt that struck the flaming greatsword in her hand.

Under the laws of Teyvat, fire and lightning collided, and the instantaneous overload reaction caused Kiana to drop her weapon, and Kiana lost her "last strength" and fainted.

Seeing how dedicated Kiana was, Kujo Sara wouldn't actually let her fall to the ground like that. Instead, she leaped over to Kiana and pulled her into her arms.

"Oh! Lord Kujo is mighty!"

"Let's go! The prisoner has been arrested. We'll return immediately and hand him over to the general for disposal!"

"Yes!"

Chapter 322 Kira Ryo and Kokoro

"Lord Kujo, please hand the prisoner over to us."

Under normal circumstances, after handcuffing the drunkard, the remaining (three soldiers) were responsible for escorting him to the hospital. This was a perfectly normal procedure.

But after all, this is just acting, not to mention Kiana's special identity.

So she held the "unconscious" Kiana tightly in her arms and said seriously:

“This prisoner is too dangerous. I am worried that he might suddenly make a move after he wakes up, causing unnecessary accidents. So I will handle this personally.”

"Yes!"

Seeing Kiana being carried in a princess carry and walking at the front, all the soldiers felt a deep sense of respect.

Holding the prisoner like that must be to prevent him from escaping suddenly after waking up.

The fact that General Kujo himself "escorted" the prisoners must have been to prevent them from getting hurt.

This moved all the soldiers deeply.

After all, as a general, he still cares about his subordinates, which is truly a shining example for Inazuma.

Only Kujo Sara and Kiana knew that the scenarios they imagined were not exactly the same, but rather completely unrelated.

But Kiana is feeling very uncomfortable right now.

Because I was wearing a mask, even though it was made by Aha and was of high quality, it was still just a mask. Wearing it made it a little difficult to breathe and it was also a bit of a nuisance.

Normally, Kiana probably wouldn't react at all.

But right now, she's pretending to be unconscious and can't move freely.

She was caught by Kujo Sara just as she fell, which resulted in Kiana's mask now being stuck to the milk foam that's ready to drink right out of the lid.

Although a fragrance wafted over as Kujo Sara walked, and it also had an excellent shock-absorbing effect, Kiana felt that if this continued, she might really faint.

Shocking! The first Herrscher to be suffocated has been born.

Although Honkai energy is omnipotent, the Herrschers to whom Honkai energy belongs have bodies that are no different from ordinary people in some aspects.

In retrospect, it has both advantages and disadvantages.

So the question is, is this an advantage or a disadvantage?

Fortunately...

Just before Kiana felt she was about to faint, Kujo Sara stopped and gently laid her flat on the ground.

"General, the prisoner has been brought in."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You can go now."

"Yes!"

Kiana opened her eyes a crack, and thanks to the mask, no one could tell that she had woken up.

But Kiana can see everything around her clearly.

Now, Kiana has returned to the scene of the Eye Hunting Ceremony, before the Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed Statue.

At this moment, the general began to recite the lines that Yae no Miko had carefully prepared for her.

"Thunder and lightning, fleeting in an instant. That is why we desire eternity. No, that is why we must grasp eternity."

"And as sinners who attempt to subvert eternity, their sins are unforgivable."

"However, Inazuma is currently short of talent. In my opinion, if you are useful to the shogunate and loyal to me, I can allow you to become my sidekick."

"Or, how about taking another blow from me? If you survive unscathed, I'll not only pardon your disobedience, but also allow you to establish your own sect in Inazuma."

Kiana happened to wake up at that moment and helped the general complete the final scene.

"Hmph, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens! Even if you are a god, I will challenge your authority today with my martial arts!"

Seeing Kiana grip the flaming greatsword and point it at him again, the general sighed.

"In that case, take my knife!"

General Thunder once again displayed the pinnacle of his martial arts before everyone, the ultimate technique within the ultimate technique, the thoughtless slash.

This time, Kiana neither caught nor dodged the attack. Instead, after facing the thunderous blow, the weapon broke in two, and Kiana seemed to have suffered a severe injury, flying straight off the cliff.

"Lord General."

"It's alright. The sword has already been drawn. If she dies, it means that eternity remains unshakable."

"If she takes this blow, according to the agreement, her sins will be pardoned this time, and if she reappears in Inazuma, she can be allowed to establish her own sect."

After the general finished speaking, he left the scene and returned to the castle tower.

In fact, whether it's her, the Shadow, or even the Yae no Miko hiding in the shadows, they are all somewhat worried about Kiana's situation.

After all, the general didn't hold back when he swung his sword.

As for Kiana's claim that the General or the Shadow, as one of the Seven Rulers, couldn't defeat her, none of them believed it.

But it probably won't really disappear.

Only after the general left and saw that Kiana had returned to the castle tower, removed her mask, and begun to feast, did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Little guy, your acting is really good. I thought that the General, that blockhead, had really hurt you. I was even thinking of coming over to fight the General to the death."

I never imagined this was all acting; you truly are worthy of being my junior.

The general rolled his eyes at Yae no Miko, annoyed, and said, "You wrote the script; I'm just following it."

"I never said I would let you hurt Kiana."

"You said we should go all out to avoid being discovered."

"I already told you, but can't you be a little more flexible?"

General: ...

After Kiana finished eating the last of her snacks, her time in Inazuma Castle came to a temporary end.

She returned to the sea directly below the castle tower, floating on it, waiting for someone to pull her out.

If not, then Yae no Miko's plan would be meaningless.

That's equivalent to lifting a warrant for arrest.

However, Kiana hadn't been floating for long when she was spotted by a cardboard cat and pulled to the shore.

"Hey? Are you alright? Wake up, don't sleep!"

Good news: the shrimp were caught and left to rot. Bad news: the person who caught them was wrong. The wine wasn't from the resistance, but from Qi Liangliang.

Remembering the emergency procedures she had learned, Qi Liangliang returned to normal, put the package to be delivered aside, and placed her hand on Kiana's chest.

"Hey, is it a girl?"

Feeling the softness in her hands, Kira belatedly realized Kiana's gender.

However, Kiana was only pretending to faint, so even if Kira pressed on her chest, it wouldn't help.

"Just leave me here and go."

Kiana prayed silently, but Kira reached out and tried to remove Kiana's mask.

As he watched his mask being removed, the only proof of his identity, he knew that once the mask was gone, it would be difficult to infiltrate the resistance.

Just as Kiana was about to "wake up" and stop Kira, she noticed a figure in a corner not far away.

And who else could this person dressed with so many fish elements be but Xin Hai?

Chapter 323 Hello, my name is Xin Hai

"Xinhai, how did she get here?"

Kiana initially thought that the person who wanted to save her and win her over might be Goro, sent by Kokoro, or someone else she didn't know.

Kiana never expected that Shinkai, as the strategist of the resistance and the current human goddess priestess of Sea Island, would personally come to Inazuma Castle and to the foot of the castle tower under the current circumstances.

Wasn't she afraid that if the general hadn't left immediately after the battle, but instead looked down and noticed her presence?

Without her, the resistance, while not exactly a rabble, was completely powerless to resist the shogunate army.

"When a person who has fallen into the water is brought ashore, CPR should not be performed immediately. Instead, weeds and mud should be cleared from their mouth and nose to keep their airway clear."

"Let me do it. I have some experience in rescuing people who have fallen into the water."

Hearing this confident voice, Qi Liangliang unconsciously stepped back, making room for the person who spoke.

It was only when I saw the image of Xinhai and this outfit full of fish elements that I felt a sense of wonder.

Qi Liangliang couldn't help but shed tears of emotion.

However, these hot tears flowed from her mouth.

Although Xin Hai felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at from behind, and felt as if he had encountered a predator, he suppressed his discomfort and came to Kiana's side, remembering that he had important matters to attend to.

Xin Hai immediately lifted Kiana's mask and was stunned to see the cat ears on Kiana's head and the white tail that appeared behind Kiana after the mask was removed.

But she didn't have much time to think. Instead, she lifted Kiana's chin with her palm, applied a little force to open Kiana's mouth, checked to make sure there were no foreign objects in her mouth, and then placed Kiana on her bent white-stockinged thighs.

Make sure Kiana keeps her head down.

Xin Hai reached out and began pressing on Kiana's back, trying to expel the water from Kiana's airway.

Seeing that Kiana didn't react at all, Xin Hai quickly turned Kiana over again, letting her back lie on his thighs, and then slowly brought his head to Kiana's chest.

"Fortunately, I still have a heartbeat. Perhaps because I haven't been in the sea for very long, I'm lucky that I didn't choke on water."
