Star Railway, starting as Kiana

As it turned out, Kiana's next sentence made them finally understand why she had suddenly attacked Klein.

Not to mention Kiana, even Alicia, who had just been looking at Klein with a slightly strange expression because it was fun and she could take the opportunity to get close to cute girls, now looked at him with a different expression.

"Can't I have a pet that can take care of me, cook for me, wake me up, and take care of everything for me?"

And this condition was exactly what Klein could meet.

She is hardworking and conscientious, thoughtful and meticulous, and very capable and understanding.

Even someone like Mebius, after spending some time with Klein, was spoiled by him and became completely dependent on him. Even his former assistant, Blanca, did not receive the same treatment as Klein.

"But forget it."

Kiana released the can of food from her arms and relaxed her body, ceasing her attack on Klein.

"My enthusiasm has faded quickly. Anyway, I don't need to deal with these things now. Someone cooks for me, someone wakes me up, and someone takes care of me. Why would I need a pet?"

Watching Kiana turn and leave, Mebius felt...

Perhaps Kiana's mental state is somewhat abnormal; it seems that some fusion warriors and herrschers have this problem.

Mebius looked at Alicia, and the meaning of his expression was self-evident.

But Alicia acted as if she hadn't seen anything and followed behind Kiana.

"Klein, let's go."

“Yes, Dr. Möbius.”

...

"Robbery! Hands up!"

"ah!"

Hearing the voice close to her ear, Padofilis, who was about to go to buy more goods, suddenly jumped up like a cat, her tail instantly straightened, and she leaped onto the high wall next to her.

Patophis breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Kiana smiling and Alicia behind where she had just been standing.

"Sister Ali, Sister Kiana, you scared me to death! I thought Boss Kevin had followed us here."

"Meow!"

Looking at the canned food with its mouth full of oil at its feet, and the unopened can rubbing against its own feet, Padofelis seemed to understand.

Why couldn't Kevin find his trail, but Kiana and Alicia found him so easily?

There was a mole inside!

"Canned food, you're not having dinner tonight!"

"Meow~!"

The canned food let out a lazy, cold cry, climbed onto the high platform, and basked in the sun; it completely ignored Padophilia's threat.

Anyway, it still has one jar.

I was wrong, but I'll do it again next time!

"Little Paddo, I have a deal to make. Shall we do it?"

Upon hearing about the deal, Patophis, whose very genes for buying and making money were ingrained in her bones, instantly appeared before Kiana.

That speed was so fast that even Kiana had to admit it was amazing.

As expected, none of the Thirteen Heroes of the Fire Chaser were ordinary people. Even the seemingly weakest, Padofilis, and the youngest, Gretchen, were all exceptionally strong.

"Boss Kiana, what kind of business do you have?"

When Padophilia heard there was business, she even changed her way of addressing him. And she was indeed very curious, since the Land of the Past was a trial ground created based on Yingjie's memories, and the last spark left behind to prevent accidents.

Over the years, Padofilis had stocked up on countless goods, but day after day, she had grown somewhat weary of it.

After all, those who participate in the trials can only chat with her, but they will never go shopping with her.

In fact, most people have never even seen her.

"Little Paddy, do you like these?"

Originally, Padophilia was only somewhat interested in Kiana's words, but did not think that Kiana could offer any good purchase or transaction details.

But when she saw Kiana insert her hand directly into the void and take out all sorts of novel items she had never seen before, as well as all kinds of fish and seafood products that she and Canned Food loved, Padophilia's eyes lit up instantly.

Various goods I've never seen before, fish that I love to eat, and all sorts of sparkly little things.

Now, Padophilia felt a surge of energy, even if it meant stealing and acquiring the Thousand Calamities Mask, Aponia's milk foam, Mebius's experimental equipment, Kevin's photo album...

She can only dream about it; she really wouldn't dare.

Chapter 382 Darling, what are you doing here?

"Boss, what do you want?"

"The Mask of a Thousand Calamities".

"Okay, I'll do it right away..."

"?"

When Padofilis saw such a generous reward, he was completely overwhelmed.

However, upon hearing that Kiana wanted the Thousand Calamities Mask, Padophilia felt as if she had been transported from the sweltering summer heat to the Arctic ice, instantly shivering and regaining her senses.

"Boss, Pado doesn't want to die..."

Looking at the dazzling array of "goods," Padofilis suppressed the urge to buy and looked away.

Despite her daily stocking up, she has acquired almost every one of the heroes and valiant figures from the Land of the Dead.

However, she truly dared not touch the Thousand Tribulations Mask.

"Alicia's helpful tip! If you encounter Qianjie, never ask him about the mask."

"Yes, yes, boss, please change it. Even Ellie's underwear will do."

"Oh my, little Padma is really bold! Saying that to my face. But if Kiana wants it, I can give it to you. After all, Alicia won't refuse a cute girl's request, right?"

Of course, Alicia was just joking; she wouldn't give it to Kiana if she actually asked.

This was merely a way of following Pado's lead and steer the conversation away from the Thousand Tribulations Mask.

"Speaking of which, aren't you curious about what Qianjie Mask actually looks like now? Is he a handsome man with the same build as him, or does he have a weak face like Su, or is there actually a girl under Qianjie's mask, or is Qianjie actually a faceless person?"

"how..."

Just as Padofilis was about to retort, she realized something: she seemed to have never seen what was under the Thousand Calamities Mask.

It seems she has never seen what's underneath the Thousand Tribulations Mask.

It's worth noting that she and Aponia, who was living in seclusion in the darkest place, were the first two people to know Thousand Calamities.

While in Twilight Street, Qianjie was taken in by Aponia and taken to a sanatorium. Before the arrival of Sakura from the Poison Chrysanthemum, and before clearing out all the Honkai disease patients in the sanatorium, Qianjie worked as a porter at the Twilight Street sanatorium.

But it seems that Qianjie has been wearing a mask ever since they met.

Perhaps Aponia knows what lies beneath the Thousand Calamities Mask?

However, the thought of the darkest place sent a chill down Padophilia's spine.

I still like Aponia and Padofilis very much, but the Darkest Place is a different story. It's so dark there, and Padofilis is afraid of the dark!

"Aren't you curious?"

Padophilia's curiosity had been piqued, and Alicia was equally curious whether Kiana would provoke Qianjie again and start a fight, just like before.

But Padofilis was still very afraid of dying.

Curiosity killed the cat, so even though Padophilia was very curious, she shook her head and declined Kiana's invitation.

"Aren't you really curious?"

Seeing that Patofilis didn't make a move, Kiana simply turned around, seemingly giving up.

Although Padofilis was somewhat reluctant, she breathed a sigh of relief when she thought of her own life.

“I’ll go and take away Qianjie’s mask right now, and then say it’s Padona’s.”

"Do not do this!"

Seeing Patofilis, who showed no airs of heroism whatsoever, clinging to her leg and looking at her with teary eyes, Kiana couldn't help but blurt out, "You don't want me to cause trouble using your name, do you?"

Padofilis joined the team.

Alicia found this quite interesting, and in case Yi Jie went berserk again, she could protect poor little Paddy.

So, Alicia joined the team.

...

"So, you came to see me about this?"

Kevin leaned against the wall, hands on his hips, and looked at the three people who had arrived.

I thought these three people had gathered here to discuss something important, but it turns out they came for the appearance under the Thousand Tribulations Mask.

However, Kevin ultimately chose to join the team.

Perhaps she was worried that the two sides would fight, or perhaps she was also curious about what was under the Thousand Tribulations Mask.

Unfortunately, the team's mission was not accomplished, because Qianjie had disappeared and the group searched around but could not find any trace of him.

As time passed, Kiana's curiosity gradually diminished until she saw Hua sitting in the pavilion with Sakura, drinking tea and resting. Suddenly, an even more interesting idea arose in Kiana's mind.

"Honey, what are you doing here?"

Alicia:?

Padofilis: ?

Kevin: ?

hua: ?

cherry:?

In just one sentence, all five of them felt as if there was something wrong with their hearing system.

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Kiana walked directly to Hua's side and sat down intimately beside him, like a demure young lady, taking Hua's arm as his body suddenly stiffened.

"It really is Fu Hua herself!"

Everyone noticed that when Kiana spoke, her eyes landed on Hua's chest, and Hua, who was already somewhat withdrawn, suddenly lost her ability to think because of the sudden close contact with a stranger.

But when she tried to break free, she discovered how terrifying Kiana's strength was.

"Hey! What's going on, Hua? Do you know Kiana?"

Before Hua could answer, she didn't know Kiana, at least not this version of her memory.

Kiana, however, revealed their relationship first.

Actually, we are lovers!

"Eeeeeee!!!"

"Wait, we probably don't know each other."

"Oh, Fu Hua, have you forgotten our vows, forgotten all the little things we shared?"

Hua felt completely overwhelmed.

"Um... is it possible that the Hua you know is not the same person as this Hua?"

"Is it?"

Kiana actually knew about this. Fu Hua's memories were still stuck 50,000 years ago, while Fu Hua's memories had been severely damaged by burning them multiple times and being betrayed by her own good apprentice. As a result, only a tenth of her memories remained.

The two had almost no overlap in their memories.

But isn't this more fun?

Just as Hua was about to breathe a sigh of relief after Kiana released him, he heard Kiana's lewd words, "So, does that mean there are two Fu Huas? I should just..."

"Cough cough!"

Kevin coughed twice, anticipating the outrageous words Kiana was about to utter.

Despite his perpetually cold demeanor, he possesses a richer inner world than anyone else. Furthermore, as the ancestor of the Kaslana family, he knew exactly what Kiana was about to say the moment she was about to speak.
