Star Railway, starting as Kiana

"But...why does it seem like everyone has accepted that the theme is Sleeping Banana Monkey? And it seems like only a few of us haven't been affected. But after Xing and March 7th drew their favorite works, Banana Master gave them 0 points for going off-topic, and no one objected, as if they had accepted that the two of them really went off-topic."

“It does seem a bit strange, but my attention wasn’t on what she was saying at all, so I’m not sure if you didn’t hear it like I did, or if there was some kind of cognitive abnormality.”

Seeing that continuing the discussion would not yield any useful conclusions, Luanpo expressed his gratitude and left the empty classroom.

It seems they are seeking the truth.

Kiana, however, did not rush to leave. Instead, she took out her phone and found the three people she had grouped with at the space station in her contact list.

Chizha Yuehaiyuyu Mao: Aistar, are you there?

Kiana didn't need to wait at all; in just a moment, Estella's status changed to "typing," and the next second, Estella's message arrived.

Estella: What's wrong? Did something go wrong? Or did you run out of allowance? Or... do you miss me?

Aista: Cute Emoji Pack.jpg

Estelle is truly wealthy. If someone else had said that, it would have been just a joke, but Estelle had already transferred a sum of "pocket money" before Kiana could even respond.

It's about the amount of pocket money...

If Seele and Bronya knew, I wonder if they would choose to give up.

Bronya: So, in some people's eyes, this seven-hundred-year debt is just a fraction of pocket money?

Seele: Oh my god, so many zeros? How much money is that?! That could buy so many new clothes, so many meals!

Chizha Yuehaiyuyu Cat: No, I just have a question to ask.

Estella: Huh? Did something go wrong?

Kiana recounted what had just happened, and also repeated what she had said to Ranpo.

After a long while, Estádio finally responded.

Estelle: Theoretically speaking, if only one person experienced this, it should be like what your classmate said—just a simple missed opportunity. But if it's Kiana, I believe you're absolutely right. However, if that's the case, there are many possibilities, and they're quite complex, including but not limited to memory interference from the memory sufferer, memory confusion caused by certain creations, or a gap in the connection due to disruptions in memory quality and ley lines. I'll go ask Lady Black Tower!

Soon after, Black Tower's account sent a message to Kiana.

Black Tower: Don't bother me with such trivial matters in the future.

Black Tower: Please explain in detail. I happen to have some time now, so I'll help you analyze it.

Kiana forwarded the message she had sent to Estella to Black Tower while thinking to herself, "Is Black Tower a tsundere?"

Chapter 623 Ruan Mei: Have you forgotten something?

Black Tower: Why do I always feel like this situation is meme contamination?

Black Tower: However... in my memory, it seems that only the original doctor's research results can achieve this.

Black Tower: But isn't Dr. Primal being hunted by the Sea Rangers for his inhumane atavism experiments on multiple planets, causing widespread devastation? Many say he's dead. And if he really were to reappear, this cautious behavior is completely inconsistent with his actions as the 64th seat.

Black Tower: It's a pity I wasn't there, otherwise I could have drawn a conclusion for you. But as it stands, it doesn't seem to have had much of an impact, so I suppose you don't need to worry at all. I'll leave it at that.

After saying that, Black Tower ended the communication.

Since Black Tower had said so, Kiana naturally had no doubts.

"After all, Pinocene can't really be plagued by so many disasters, can it? The effects of the Dream of Taiyi had just been eliminated when Dr. Primal suddenly appeared, and instead of going anywhere else, he chose to come to Pinocene?"

Thinking about this, Kiana was amused by her own thoughts.

"If it's true, how about we have a breeding revival, and get a few more Star Gods to come and watch the show?"

With her doubts resolved and feeling relieved, Kiana walked out of the empty classroom and saw Professor Primmont, or rather, Professor Banana, who had given the declaration at the school anniversary opening ceremony. He seemed to have just finished talking to Ranpo and was about to leave.

Upon seeing Kiana appear, Jiao Shou didn't show much emotion. He simply nodded, put his hands behind his back, and slowly left from everyone's sight.

Kiana then realized that, for some unknown reason, the Banana Master had suddenly gone mad. The Banana Master who had left had brought two other Banana Masters with him. When they returned, the Banana Master attacked them without any explanation, as if he had swallowed gunpowder.

Of course, the result speaks for itself. Not even everyone needed to make a move. With just two casual strikes from Luanpo, the two Banana Masters who came to help were embedded in the wall.

And the original Dream Builder, too, was struck by Xing's baseball bat, and the monitor above his head turned into a gray and white distorted screen.

Then, Banana-sho appeared, apologized, and invited Ranpo to enroll.

Of course, Kiana didn't know the specifics of the events, but she believed that March 7 would never lie about something like this.

Furthermore, since it seemed that none of the students or the rest of the group had any objections to the story told on March 7th, Kiana quickly dismissed the matter.

Kiana's phone suddenly started ringing with notifications, and when she picked it up, she found it was Ruan Mei, Kiana's nominal teacher, sending her a barrage of messages.

Ruan Mei: Kiana, have you already left the Immortal Ship? Have you forgotten something?

Ruan Mei: I heard you're at Origami University now. How's university life?

Ruan Mei: Look, this is a cat I recently bred. Look at this one, doesn't it look just like you? Especially the little purple patterns, aren't they exactly the same as yours?

Looking at the photo Ruan Mei sent her, a picture of her holding a cat-shaped cake, Kiana suddenly remembered that Ruan Mei had told her about a surprise she had left for her when she participated in the martial arts ceremony in Xianzhou.

However, due to the many special circumstances that occurred during that period, Kiana forgot about the story in the final days, and even Jingyuan, who was so busy and mentally exhausted, forgot about it as well.

Perhaps only Bai Lu still remembers, after all, Bai Lu had a good time playing with Kiana in Luofu for several days because of this.

Chizha Yuehaiyuyu Mao: Oh, I forgot, I was wrong! Should I go back to Luofu now?

Ruan Mei: It's alright, I was just reminding you that I haven't delivered the gift to Luofu yet. I'll remind you before then. I imagine you'll be very surprised.

Kiana couldn't guess what the surprise Ruan Mei was talking about, but she also began to feel a little excited.

However, Ruan Mei's visit to Kiana this time was not just for casual conversation or catching up. Something had happened that Ruan Mei learned about through her network of contacts, and she suggested reminding her unusually naive student.

Ruan Mei: There seems to be a rumor recently that Dr. Primal's former subordinate, his former researcher, seems to have made some new moves, but it probably won't cause any big waves, after all, the Sea Ranger has been hunting down participants in the atavism experiment all along.

Kiana and Ruan Mei chatted for a while afterward, but after ending the call, Kiana remembered her muttering to herself in the empty classroom and her expression suddenly became a little strange.

"No way, did I guess right again? It can't really be that coincidental. These sleeping banana monkeys and the anomalies I'm feeling at Origami University are the work of the researchers under Dr. Primal."

"So, what about the Sea Patrol Rangers?"

Kiana's heart had just settled down when she thought of the crucial role of the Sea Patrol Ranger, but it suddenly tightened again.

After all, there is indeed a sea ranger in Pinocene now, namely Portio, who came to Pinocene during the experience of Taiyi's Dream.

Although at that time, Potio was looking for Yomi, the imposter who had taken his place.

but...

If Potio hadn't come to Pinocchio on business, how could he have been impersonated by Yomi?

The information used by Huang Quan was "Hai Xun You Xia" (Sea Patrol Knight), and the ticket used was "Ming Huo Da Gong" (Grand Duke of Hellfire).

"Could it be such a coincidence? Could it be that Portio discovered the original doctor's trail and then tracked him down?"

Unfortunately, Kiana didn't get Portio's contact information back then, so it's very difficult to get in touch with him now.

The thought of these coincidences coming one after another gave Kiana a feeling that a storm was brewing.

Especially since, perhaps it's just my imagination, there seem to be many more sleeping banana monkeys in Origami University now. And unlike before, these sleeping banana monkeys wandering around Origami University are not the toys they used to be, but real monkeys.

Similarly, the number of members in the newly established Banana Club has expanded rapidly, and a hierarchical division has emerged among its members.

According to the information Kiana gathered, the members of the Sleeping Banana Society are composed of three levels.

Modern humans, apes.

This hierarchy seems to be closely related to the original doctor's atavistic experimental ideas, and then there's the founder of the Sleeping Banana Society, who has never appeared in public...

"I'd better go and investigate."

Kiana acted immediately. After explaining to March 7 and the others, she left Origami University and went to Dream Reef first, because Dream Reef was the current club activity area of ​​the Sleeping Banana Club. At the same time, Robin was also in Dream Reef.

Chapter 624 Sorry for the wait, Sister Robin

As soon as Kiana arrived at Dream Reef and walked to the agreed location according to the location sent by the robin, she saw the robin chatting with a child who looked a bit carefree.

It seems that the robin is appreciating the little girl's singing, and the little girl is not intimidated at all. In front of this world-famous singer, she can still perform with composure.

As Kiana approached, she heard the little girl singing.

Westride

The little girl is singing the robin's signature song, which is also her signature piece, expressing her wish for feathers and wings.

After the song ended, Kiana, being behind the robin, couldn't see the robin's expression clearly, but she could clearly see the little girl's expectant gaze.

"Sister Robin, is this how it's sung?"

Faced with the little girl's expectant eyes, Kiana noticed that the robin didn't immediately greet her with a smile, pat her head, and praise her strength, as he had done before.

Instead, after two seconds, he seemed to snap out of his reverie from the little girl's singing and said to her gently, "Hmm, that's great."

Kiana just felt that there seemed to be some other emotion in the robin's voice, whether it was regret or pity.

Kiana didn't know.

"By the way, may I examine your body?"

Seemingly worried that the little girl in front of him might misunderstand, the robin even went out of his way to explain why he had asked to examine her body.

"Although you learn very quickly, this is a very difficult singing style after all, so you have to be careful to protect your voice."

However, this somewhat carefree little girl clearly didn't think that much about it.

He readily agreed when the robin asked to inspect it.

After all, in her opinion, Sister Robin was a good person and would never lie to her.

Kiana, seeing this, wondered what the robin had discovered. After all, checking a throat couldn't be done simply by closing one's eyes; it was clearly an action using the power of harmony.

Robins can distinguish surrounding noises by using the power of harmony.

"What's wrong, Sister Robin?"

The little girl saw the robin's expression suddenly become serious and thought there was really something wrong with her throat. But soon, the robin's serious expression disappeared as if it were an illusion, and what appeared again was the robin's heartwarming smile.

"It's okay, I was just overthinking it. You're perfectly healthy."

After saying this, the robin patted the little girl's head.

The little girl happily rubbed her head against the robin's palm.

Kiana came to their side after the two finished their conversation.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Sister Robin."

Robin: ?

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the robin turned around and saw Kiana standing right behind it.

Before the robin could even speak, the little girl asked innocently, "Hey? Are you a ghost, sister? Why aren't your feet touching the ground?"

Following the little girl's gaze, the robin realized why Kiana had come up behind him without him noticing.

Kiana was floating in the air, her toes a certain distance from the ground, so she wasn't walking and therefore made no sound.

After recovering from his shock, the robin turned around and said to the little girl, "Don't be afraid. This big sister is a big star, just like you. I have something to talk to this big sister about. Why don't you go play by yourself first?"

The little girl nodded obediently and then left.

Once the little girl had completely disappeared from the robin's sight, the robin finally relaxed and said to Kiana with a hint of resentment, "I thought that after so long without contact, our big star had forgotten about me."

"how could be."

Kiana's demeanor suddenly shifted, transforming from the carefree young girl into a knight searching for the princess. She took the robin's hand and said with sincere eyes, "How could this be, my dear princess..."

Kiana's words made even the robin, who was always being praised, blush instantly.

Why did Kiana make her feel shy and excited when she said the same thing?

The robin took a small step back, took a few deep breaths to calm his somewhat agitated heart, and then looked at Kiana, who had come to keep the appointment.

She had originally wanted to ask Kiana why she spoke in a little girl's tone and called her "older sister," but now she couldn't bring herself to ask. She was afraid that Kiana might suddenly do something strange or say something weird, and she was afraid she really wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Kiana, wait a minute, would you mind if I used my ability a little?"

"Of course not, please."

The robin used its power again, but as the power passed over Kiana's defenseless body, the robin's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.

Seeing the robin's expression, Kiana remembered that the robin had used its power on the little girl earlier. Could something have happened?

Just as the robin was about to tell its discovery, another familiar voice rang out.

"I never expected to see big stars and unknown guests in a place like this."

Kiana, who had originally planned to use the robin to find the person, has now appeared right in front of her. She doesn't know if she should be happy now.
