Star Railway, starting as Kiana

"I don't need to look up any information; I just want to hear your thoughts."

With her simple mind, she really thought about it seriously, and then nodded.

"Is that so?"

Otto always believed that Theresa might be the reincarnation of Kallen. In fact, throughout the five hundred years of history, she, who was the most scientifically minded, began to believe in theology countless times. However, as her research on Honkai deepened, she slowly changed her mind.

The reason she brought up the idea again was because of the appearance of the Karen clones, A303 and A310, and the appearance of Amber and Theresa, which gave her hope for a time, and then made her lose hope again.

But yesterday, seeing Karen and that girl from the Far East, who was very close to her beloved Karen, appear before her at the same time, she really hoped that she was just having a dream, that her five hundred years of life was just a very long dream.

"If I start the plan now, can I verify whether she is related to Kallen? And her abilities make me wonder if she might be someone from another world. What if Kallen is there?"

"Do you need me to make the arrangements?"

Seeing that Amber had taken his casual joke seriously, Otto's constantly changing expression suddenly relaxed. He turned off the surveillance cameras at St. Freya Academy and patted Amber on the shoulder.

"Don't take it so seriously, I was just joking."

"The Japanese are no more than nine years old, and that person from the vast ocean should be close to three years old, right? I think it's almost time for him to be here. It seems that he is indeed nearing the end of his life!"

...

"Ah, I remembered!"

Seeing Kiana's startled reaction, Bronya noticed that both Shigure Kira and Yae Sakura were looking at her with concern, and she felt somewhat superfluous.

Before she left, she also wanted to know what Kiana had remembered.

However, Kiana seemed completely oblivious to Bronya's gaze, and after saying that, she turned back to continue playing the game.

Kiana had just remembered that she was supposed to have a dream a few days ago, in which Sirin inside her awakened and she witnessed the Second Collapse from Sirin's perspective.

Whether it was related to Sirin's appearance or not, Kiana's strength improved by leaps and bounds after that, and she showed off her skills in the exam two days later.

but...

That's how it should be.

Because this part of the story was so subtle, Kiana's memory of it was hazy until a similar scene happened in the game she was playing, which brought it back to her mind.

However, she didn't know whether Sirin would appear or not. Kiana's performance in the exam was by no means outstanding; it was not much different from usual, and could only be described as mediocre.

"Strange, is Xilin still sleeping? That shouldn't be the case; she should have woken up long ago."

With this in mind, the rest of the story began to unfold in Kiana's mind.

"Ah, speaking of which, shouldn't Oceania also experience a collapse?"

Bronya and Shigure Kira said they were used to Kiana's sudden remarks, and Yae Sakura didn't care either, since even if the sky fell, nothing was more important than her making rice balls.

Only Himeko, who was taking a long-awaited day off after the exams ended and there was no Honkai outbreak, rushed over and stuffed an apple into Kiana's mouth.

"You can't just say things like that. Although the relationship between branches isn't exactly harmonious, it's not like they would curse someone else's territory to collapse. In fact, when the collapse occurred in Changkong City, the Oceania branch even offered to come and help, even though they were a bit poor, Theresa didn't take it."

"Is it a little?"

Seeing Kiana's innocent gaze, Himeko tilted her head away, not letting Kiana see her expression.

They see through it but don't say it out loud. The Far East Branch is incredibly wealthy; even the headquarters doesn't have any department as rich as them.

After all, casually gifting several sets of third-generation armor would likely make other branches green with envy. The three main families (the "Starting Three") have extremely conflicting manga and armor backgrounds, so I won't go into detail.

Then Himeko's phone suddenly rang.

"Who is it? Don't you know I'm on holiday?"

She glanced at the caller ID and realized it was her boss, Theresa.

"Hey Theresa, what's up? Are you coming over for lunch? But Mei was too tired last night and is still sleeping."

At this point, Himeko also looked at Kiana.

Bronya, who was about to leave, sat back down on the sofa and looked at Kiana with the same gaze.

Both Shigure Kira and Yae Sakura were somewhat puzzled, but since Himeko was on the phone, they didn't rush to ask about the meaning of her gaze.

"Oh, you mean the name for that warship has been decided, it'll be called the Moon Throne? No, you called me specifically about this?"

"Huh? You said that activating the Moon Throne requires collecting four gems? Wasn't that written in the email?"

Wait, you didn't read any of my report? I wrote it all down clearly in there!

Himeko's voice rose several decibels; if she hadn't remembered that Xiaoqi and Mei were still resting, she probably would have roared into the phone.

The group also heard Theresa's explanation coming from the phone.

Phrases like "I didn't," "I was just too busy and missed it," "That's not the point," and "I'm the leader" are used.

Fortunately, Theresa changed the subject quickly, otherwise Himeko might have lost her temper again.

"What? You want to go find the Gem of Desire right now? Are you out of your mind? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Wait, what did you say? Say it again. I think I'm hallucinating."

"You said the Oceania branch where the Gem of Desire is stored has collapsed and erupted? And New Zealand, where the gem is stored, has lost contact and cannot be reached?"

Huh? .jpg

Chapter 167 Confession? Wait, you said your name is Asakura Miyuki

After ending the call, Himeko gave Kiana a strange look.

Because she didn't keep her conversation private from the people present, although they weren't entirely clear on the details Theresa mentioned, they understood that Kiana must have been right—the Pacific branch had indeed experienced a collapse.

"Get ready."

Upon hearing Himeko's words, Kiana's face immediately fell.

"Seriously? In such a hurry?"

"No, let's get ready for dinner."

Seeing the group of students stunned by her words, Himeko finally felt she had won a round, preventing her teacher from constantly being emotionally manipulated by these students. Although, if you considered the average age of everyone in the room, Himeko wasn't actually that old.

Seeing Kiana still in a daze, Himeko put her index and middle fingers together, brought them to the top of Kiana's head, and gently flicked it.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

"Alright, stop thinking about causing trouble all the time. Besides, it's not like Schicksal is short of people. Even if the Pacific branch is temporarily out of contact, it might just be that the Honkai outbreak area happens to be the signal warehouse or the power station. Even if something really happens, the Far East branch isn't just us."

"Huh? Isn't that right?"

Himeko then realized that Kiana, or rather everyone here, had a huge misconception about the strength of the Far East Branch, believing that St. Freya Academy was the entirety of the Far East Branch's fighting force.

"Alright, don't underestimate the power of a branch. Although you students are nominally in the Far East Branch, if something really happens, we can't let you be the pawns. Don't worry, someone will handle it."

Upon hearing this, Kiana slumped back onto the sofa, continuing to enjoy being fed by the two women beside her.

Himeko felt her anger rising again after seeing this.

For several days in a row, no matter what problems the Pacific branch encountered, it did not have a significant impact on St. Freya Academy.

Theresa has been eating at people's restaurants more often now, and the smile that used to be always on her face has faded a bit each time she eats.

The group also received a hint from Theresa that the situation at the Pacific branch was not optimistic, and that they might be mobilized soon to ensure that the Gem of Desire would not be damaged. They were also among those being mobilized.

...

"Kiana, I like you. Please go out with me!"

Early in the morning, Kiana had just arrived at the classroom when she was confessed to by a classmate with whom she had little interaction.

Faced with this situation, the classroom erupted in chaos. Some people were biting their fingers with worried expressions, while others took out their phones, intending to record it and upload it to the school forum.

"Kiana, I love you. Please marry me!"

The student seemed to think Kiana hadn't heard her clearly, so she repeated it loudly again. Even the Kiana fan club members who had initially condemned this person's sneaking off had to admire her courage.

"you are?"

"My name is Asakura Miyuki. Ever since that day when I encountered that pervert, and you appeared in front of me and saved me, I fell in love with you at first sight. And even though so much time has passed, even though I know you won't agree, I still have to confess. I can no longer suppress my feelings!"

and many more!

What the hell are you calling?

Kiana fell silent, calmly considering her options...

Calm down my ass! Where did I end up? Isn't this supposed to be the Honkai Impact 3rd storyline? Why is Asakura Miyuki here? And even if it's Honkai Impact 2, this doesn't make sense.

Miyuki Asakura should have been dead long ago.

Suddenly, I remembered that in Suiyuan, because of someone's trickery, Kiana was put into an illusion and was surrounded and attacked by Huang Quan, Hua, and Asakura Miyuki. She was almost pinned down and had to give up resisting.

Kiana glanced at Mei, who followed her in, and then at Fu Hua, who remained engrossed in her book in her seat, seemingly unconcerned about the world.

"Okay, okay, let's play like this, right?"

Kiana initially thought that it was her own words that had caused her to travel to another world, or perhaps end up in some kind of bubble world.

But after hearing the person in front of her called Asakura Miyuki, she suddenly felt that this might be Aha's doing, or that she was actually still in Suiyuan and the illusion had not ended.

Aha: Hahaha, I've been wronged, but isn't this also a kind of fun?

Now, looking at Asakura Miyuki, who was extremely nervous and had the air of a literary girl, she suddenly felt that it wasn't so bad. After all, she was chosen by Honkai, even if it was just to become the character who lit up Kiana's yuri soul in Honkai Impact 2.

Asakura Miyuki's appearance is also very exquisite, and if she dresses up properly and changes her temperament and image, she is no less beautiful than the concubines in her harem.

But Kiana still chose to refuse.

"Feel sorry."

Upon hearing Kiana's words, Miyuki Asakura trembled, nearly falling over, but she managed to control her emotions in front of the person she admired.

She silently withdrew the pink faith she had been offering, her eyes glistening with tears as she looked at Kiana, wanting to hear the reason.

"Marriage does not guarantee happiness, and being single does not guarantee unhappiness. We are born as one, and we will not leave this world as two."

Kiana's words sounded like advice to stay single, leaving the onlookers completely confused.

"Is Kiana a staunch advocate of singlehood?"

Some students had this thought in their minds.

Love is a luxury; you can live without it.

You need to understand that emotional stability and sound finances are far more important than whether someone loves you or not.

I am just a passerby in your life. Perhaps it was the version of me that captivated you and made you fall for me, but please, before you fall for someone else, fall for yourself.

"Miyuki Asakura, no, Miyuki Asakura, if you truly have feelings for me, I'm willing to be your friend, but there's no need to sacrifice your entire life for a moment of impulse."

After Kiana finished speaking, he rubbed his head and returned to his seat to wait for class to begin.

Asakura Miyuki felt her sadness and grievances vanish instantly. Instead, after everyone had left, her eyes lit up with hearts as she looked at Kiana.

"Ah~ Lady Kiana!"

Kiana wasn't just talking nonsense; she was genuinely a little scared. Although she didn't know about Asakura Miyuki's past experiences, when she thought about the Honkai Impact 2 storyline, Asakura Miyuki's love was too obsessive, and she was the kind of person who would do anything for others without considering herself or anyone else.

"Forget it, I guess we won't have any contact after this, but I'll still find some time to hack into the database and take a look at Asakura Miyuki's information."

Kiana only thought it to herself and didn't say it out loud, but Bronya seemed to have the ability to read minds.

"Is Kiana looking for information about Asakura Miyuki?"

Chapter 168 Heading to New Zealand

"Um, Bronya, do you know her?"

"We're not very close, but we're classmates after all, so it's normal for us to know each other, right?"

Bronya tilted her head, seemingly not understanding why Kiana was so surprised.

Before Kiana could even speak, Xiaoqi leaned closer and said, "Oh, so she's our classmate?"

"Idiot Kiana, can't you even remember your classmates?"

"No, it's just that she has such a low profile, and...and..."

Xiaoqi wanted to say that Asakura Miyuki didn't attract her much, so she hadn't paid any attention to her at all. But since they were in class, even if they spoke in hushed tones, it wasn't appropriate to say it outright.

"Stupid paramecium!"

Bronya muttered something under her breath and ignored the flustered Xiaoqi, pulling up Asakura Miyuki's file on her phone.
