Valkyrie Flavor Tasting Guide

What did this girl learn during those five years that she skipped in the main storyline? How did she become so skilled?

Give me back my innocent little bug that I can lure into bed at any time!

"I am the Black Mountain Demon, I specialize in eating your heart and ripping out your liver!"

Kiana also pretended to be fierce as she pinned down the man beneath her, completely covering his eyes with her snow-white slime.

The two laughed and joked around. Kiana, with a mischievous grin, pulled the blanket over them, letting the bulging blanket wriggle and emit suppressed laughter.

"Ha... Whew... Haha... Indeed, the feeling of meeting in person is completely different from seeing it through a screen!"

Kiana lay on top of him, letting out a satisfied sigh.

She had just lied about the captain she remembered. Her memories of that time were still hazy, but she could clearly feel his intense and sincere feelings for her and others.

Feelings don't lie. This sincerity is enough.

All she had to do was respond to his intense and overwhelming affection.

"Sure enough, this lively side of you is more like you," Lu Mo said with a sigh, wiping his nose.

Thinking about it carefully, her storyline after becoming the final chapter is indeed too short.

"Really? I remember when I became the Herrscher of Flame, you said you wanted to teach me a lesson. You said that Himeko-sensei definitely didn't want to see me looking so gloomy."

When Kiana said those words, Lu Mo was certain that the Kiana in front of him was definitely from his family.

This isn't a line from the original work; it's a venting of his feelings as he talked to the Herrscher of Fire in his dorm room.

At that time, she carried too much, too heavy a burden.

It's not that what she did was wrong... it's just that, putting himself in Himeko's shoes, Lu Mo believed that Himeko would never want her death to become a shackle binding Kiana.

Personally, he hoped that Kiana at that time could maintain a "balance" in her growth.

She did grow during her time as the Herrscher of Fire, but that was all. Ideally, Lu Mo would have preferred to see a phoenix rise from the ashes.

Chapter 4: The reason I'm with Mei is because you like married women.

"Well... I..."

Being confronted by Kiana about this "dark history" made Lu Mo somewhat embarrassed. After all, who would have thought that his own mutterings would be overheard by the person involved? It felt like being caught red-handed gossiping about someone behind their back.

"Hehe, I'm not angry." Kiana's laughter was like a clear spring flowing over pebbles, tinkling and melodious. "I know the captain said that because he cares about me..."

Her delicate, jade-like fingertips traced circles on his chest, the gentle touch sending a tingling sensation through him, a tingling feeling that ran deep into his heart.

“So now it’s the captain’s turn to answer me,” she raised her eyes with a hint of provocation, responding to his earlier question, “And where do I stand in the captain’s heart?”

"Well..."

Although calling her "wife" is commonplace, Lu Mo really couldn't give a definite answer to this question honestly.

At first, she was just a typical anime waifu, the kind you change every three months. But as time went on and he invested more emotionally, his feelings for her became more like those of a close, albeit slightly mischievous, friend. Later, as the main storyline progressed, he watched her grow up over many years, from an age when being with Himeko-sensei was considered quite advanced, to someone her age. Unconsciously, his feelings for her developed into a fatherly affection.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said those things to her in her Herrscher of Fire form. He would have said that because he felt sorry for his own child.

Seeing her grow and mature, Lu Mo felt genuinely gratified.

So... is she a daughter or a wife? That is indeed a question.

"They're family, right?"

While he was struggling with his decision, Kiana quietly offered what she thought was the most appropriate word.

"That's right... family." Lu Mo breathed a sigh of relief and admitted the answer. This was the closest word he could give to his true feelings.

“Yes, we’re all family…” Kiana’s smile grew even gentler. “So, ‘lover’ isn’t the right answer for me either. As long as we can all be happy together, isn’t that enough?”

This is what she really thinks.

The so-called harem is just a big, warm home.

After regaining her memories of Lu Mo, this was Kiana's truest thought. She hadn't entertained a single second of opposition to the idea of ​​a "harem."

If—and I mean if—she had finished all her work on the moon and returned to Earth, she could have Aunt Regret build her a huge house where everyone would have their own room. Then, she could use the power of the Herrscher of the Void to create a portal for everyone, so that no matter where they were, they could always go home.

That kind of life is something to look forward to just by thinking about it.

At that time, whether she's embracing Mei and the Captain on either side, or the Captain is embracing her and Mei on either side, or the Captain is embracing Bronya and Mei on either side, and she's sitting on the Captain's lap...

Such a life sounds wonderful.

So beautiful!

"So, you don't object to me being with... her?"

Compared to Kiana, Mei holds a higher place in his heart as his "wife." Although his feelings for Kiana are deeper and more complex, his love for Mei is purer and more direct. Lu Mo is also very clear about the entanglement between the two of them.

"Why should I object... After all, it's you, Captain." Kiana's tone was matter-of-fact. "Unfortunately, we can't go back to my world right now, and I can't leave Earth for the time being..."

She let out a slightly affected sigh, followed by a glint of cunning in her eyes.

"Otherwise, we could feast our eyes and sneak a peek at Mei together!"

Peeping? In that sense?

Lu Mo immediately recalled the erotic scenes from certain ancient storylines.

Immediately, he and Kiana exchanged a knowing glance and gave each other a thumbs up.

Very well, both of them still have their perverted nature.

Their smiles were, as always, distorted. At that moment, their relationship instantly shifted to: you like my wife, and I like my wife, so we're best buddies.

"So, the whole 'lover' thing isn't entirely a joke."

Kiana gently shook her head, letting her long hair fall loose, covering Lu Mo's body like silver silk.

"I imagine that for you, Captain, the feeling of being intimate with one person while they're away is...something exciting, isn't it?"

This perfectly satisfies both the pure love fan and the cuckold fan's two completely different fantasies.

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense, I don't have such perverted thoughts."

Although he said that, Lu Mo's body language betrayed him. His slightly accelerated breathing and shifty eyes completely gave him away.

"Hehe, so the captain doesn't like this." Seeing him trying so hard to appear like a gentleman, Kiana's smile grew even wider.

"Do you actually like me when I'm with Mei?"

Lu Mo's brain froze for half a second before he realized what she meant: "...What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm talking nonsense?" Kiana's smile grew even more playful. She leaned closer, her warm breath brushing against his cheek. "As someone else's wife, I wasn't taken away by another man. Mei and I being together won't affect your mindset—after all, Mei and I are both your wives, which perfectly satisfies that Cao traitor!"

"Cough cough! What kind of nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Mo almost coughed up from her blunt slander.

"Or do you prefer... the feeling of secretly being with me after marrying Mei?"

She seemed to have truly immersed herself in the role, her voice becoming deep and alluring.

"On one hand, you keep saying you can't let Mei down, but on the other hand, you're trying your best to pour all your feelings into me... Hmm, could it be that you only realized after marrying Mei that I'm the most important person in your heart, but it's too late to turn back? After all, Mei is your wife, so you can only use your actions to cover up your true feelings and refuse to admit that you actually love me more... Hehehe!"

Kiana seemed to be really into character, pressing her entire weight onto Lu Mo and feeling his increasingly erratic heartbeat.

The captain's patient demeanor is really amusing. Is this feeling of teasing someone really that good?

"Maybe after I marry you, I'll find that my salary isn't enough to support our married life?"

Unable to bear it any longer, Lu Mo instantly exerted his strength and subdued Kiana beneath him.

“At this time, Mei extended an olive branch to me, saying that as long as I cheated on her with her once, she would provide me with financial assistance.” Lu Mo’s voice gradually became fierce.

"In order to live a peaceful life with you, I have to humiliatingly provide everything Mei needs according to her wishes time and time again. At the same time, Mei is so gentle to me, so that even though I am unwilling, my body cannot help but indulge in her gentleness."

"Then you go home, look at my clueless smile, and start to feel guilty again, right?" Kiana responded to his harsh words frankly, not angry at all, but with excitement shining in her eyes.

"Even though you want to make it up to me in every way, our relationship can never go back to what it was before... You don't want to wrong me, you just realize that you no longer love me."

"And at that moment, Mei tells you an amazing secret."

As Kiana described it, the story's style gradually veered off course in an absurd direction.

“Mei is pregnant with your child! For the sake of the child, you didn’t divorce me, but instead tried to make me believe that the child was mine. I was raising my own child while unknowingly treating Mei’s child as mine as well.”

"You're the one who's excited, aren't you!" Seeing things getting more and more outrageous, Kiana's mouth was practically stretched into a grin that was harder to suppress than an AK. Lu Mo finally couldn't help but complain.

Kiana, you can't possibly have some hidden secret about you, can you? You're so excited about persecuting yourself!

Chapter 5: You're the only one who can make me act recklessly!

"Hehe...hehehahahaha..."

Laughter emanating from under the covers, like crumpled silver bells, echoed freely in the quiet bedroom. Kiana and Lu Mo were both shaking with laughter, as if trying to squeeze out every last breath from their lungs. Their deep-seated sense of "gentlemanly conduct" transformed into unparalleled understanding at this moment, making this absurd conversation all the more amusing.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around." Lu Mo wiped away the tears that had welled up in his eyes from laughing, took a deep breath, and calmed down his surging emotions. "Seriously, Kiana, if you're going to stay here for a long time, there are still a lot of practical issues to resolve."

He pulled his thoughts away from those beautiful fantasies and back to the hard and cold reality.

"I know, Captain..." Kiana poked half her head out from under the covers, her silver hair sticking messily to her flushed cheeks. She deliberately made a "don't really treat me like an idiot" expression, her slightly pouting lips and slightly reproachful eyes were many times more convincing than that pink-haired explorer next door who was always clamoring to explore.

“In this world, you need identification for both living and working. I understand that.” She sat up, her oversized T-shirt slipping down to reveal her smooth, rounded shoulders. “But… while other things are fine, I’m a true Scandinavian, and I don’t have a household registration here in your China.”

While it wouldn't be difficult for her to forge an identity for herself in various online databases using hacking techniques, Kiana simply didn't have the ability to create a flawless, legally verifiable identity and household registration that could be verified through official systems.

After all, China's household registration system has always been known for its strictness towards foreigners. One careless mistake could lead to enormous trouble. Although the power of the Law Enforcer can be used to temporarily gloss over the situation, once an uncontrollable incident occurs, simply altering the consciousness of a few people will not solve the problem.

"So, Captain..." She snuggled back into his arms like a lazy cat, rubbing her cheek against his chest, "You won't mind me staying at your place until I find a way back, will you?"

"As long as you don't cause me any trouble, I'll take care of you for the rest of my life."

Lu Mo chuckled and reached out to ruffle her smooth, moonlit silver hair. Of course, this was just a polite remark. Putting aside the fact that Kiana's personality meant she rarely caused trouble, even if she did, she was usually capable of handling the situation herself—it was he, an ordinary person, who needed protection.

"I knew the captain loved me the most!"

Kiana slowly lowered her head, pressing her cheek against his chest, quietly feeling his steady, strong heartbeat and reliable warmth. As expected of the captain, even though we haven't officially met for long, he still dotes on me so much.

"Hmph, well, that's what happens when you're Kiana."

As they chatted, the two unconsciously began to connect emotionally again. Lu Mo discovered that whenever she was involved, his IQ seemed to plummet, and he became clumsy.

"Hmm... well, during this time, I'll reluctantly serve as the captain's home security guard."

Kiana uttered a word that could easily lead him astray, her eyes gleaming with cunning.

"While the captain is at work, I will be responsible for protecting the captain's property until... I find a way to open the door back to my world."

"And after that?"

Although her words sounded like she was just freeloading off him, Lu Mo could tell from her eyes and actions that Kiana would never forget him completely after the deed was done.

“Of course…” her answer was matter-of-fact and unwavering, “to build a stable gateway connecting our two worlds! That way, Captain, you can meet everyone again.”

Kiana had more or less guessed why she had no memories of the captain. It was because they were from different worlds (in a physical sense). Perhaps it was due to the laws of the world, or perhaps some other inexplicable reason, but even as the Herrscher of the End, she couldn't retain those memories.

But now that she has regained her memories of him, she will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen again.

She believed that Mei, Bronya, and the others, after regaining their memories of the Captain, would also choose to stand firmly by his side, just like her. However, the Captain also had his own family and friends in this world, and she obviously couldn't selfishly bring him into her own world.

Therefore, the best solution is to build a gate that connects the two worlds.

"Then Theresa will have to make up for all the wages she owes me," Lu Mo said half-jokingly.

As the captain of the Hyperion, he deserves at least the treatment of an A-rank Valkyrie. Regardless of the timeline, Theresa should be paying him millions of euros. Even if he can't spend it all in this world, he can spend it in the Honkai world, buy what he wants, and then use it in this world.

As for becoming a middleman between the two worlds, forget it. Our technology isn't very useful to Kiana, and taking Kiana's technology into the real world… the risk level would be far too high.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing," he suddenly remembered something and pinched her cheek, "How did you get that bowl of instant noodles?"

She's on the moon; she couldn't possibly be carrying the currency of this world's divine land with her—besides, the license plate number isn't right either. And that bowl of instant noodles wasn't from his family's stock.

Could Kiana have done something bad?

"Of course... I pick up change." Kiana's expression didn't change much, and she even seemed a little proud. "Even though everyone uses mobile payments now, there can't be no change in the whole city, right?"

"So I used my Herrscher powers a little bit to collect all the loose change in the city and then took the money to buy instant noodles."

Very good. Although I don't know which Herrscher's power you used, you've successfully turned a Herrscher's ability into a substitute—the Harvester. While you didn't exactly return the lost money, at least you didn't steal or rob, which is commendable!

"So, for the next period of time, I'll need to support a homebody."

Although I say that, just thinking about coming home every day to find a super energetic and beautiful girl waiting for me makes me feel incredibly happy.

He'd be willing to let Kiana live with him, even if he got drained by the moonlight every day!

"Hmm... Well, it's because you like me, Captain!"

Kiana showed none of the demeanor expected of a goddess of the earth; instead, she acted like a spoiled and pampered girlfriend, making rather willful remarks to Lu Mo.
