In Honkai, I Picked Up a Kiana
Author: Feng Yun
Synopsis:
Reports stated that there was a man in the St. Freya Academy dorms with knives and swords stuck all over his back, along with bullet holes and fist marks on his body.
He lay face-down on the ground, one hand stretched out as though pointing at something.
According to Miss Fu Hua's assessment... it was suicide!
Was this a distortion of human nature or a decline in morality? Stay tuned to today's Honkai TV.
Volume One
A Kiana Who Always Had to Be Strong
Rumble!
Dark clouds blanketed the sky, casting everything beneath them in shadow.
With the first raindrop came howling winds!
Heavy drops of rain splattered against the ground.
A black-haired boy with a tuft of red hair walked through the streets of a foreign country, holding an umbrella.
"The weather forecast really is inaccurate. And this body is a problem too."
The boy walking down the street muttered to himself. Judging by his appearance, he was only around ten years old.
Lin Nai, eighteen years old mentally, was a transmigrator.
Cause of death...
According to his system, Host No. II had shouted "Takizawa Lora!" while holding a road roller and crushed him to death.
It had to be said, it was fucking ridiculous.
But in a sense, Host No. II was also him...
That brat better not let me find an opportunity!
Otherwise, I'll screw him over sooner or later!
Lin Nai cursed inwardly.
Transmigrating itself would have been fine, but that guy had used a road roller to crush him into a smaller size.
His eighteen-year-old body had been smashed into the body of someone who looked barely over ten.
A child wandering the streets of a foreign land.
If it had not been for the system...
Lin Nai might have died at any time.
He was currently living in a hotel. The money for it had been taken from a group of little punks through robbing... the rich to help the poor.
Naturally, he was staying in a legitimate hotel.
For a child like him, it was hard to imagine what might happen if he stayed in some shady place.
At this point, someone might ask: without identification or a passport, could he really stay at a hotel?
The answer was no.
But in most worlds, money was not everything, yet without money, nothing could be done.
If the payment was not enough, then he just added a little more.
As long as he made a slight move, those punks would hand over their money.
If someone could catch handgun bullets barehanded, anyone with sense would kneel down and offer up their money.
Reckless fools were excluded.
So Lin Nai gave the hotel registration staff a little extra money.
That was how he properly booked a room.
It was that simple.
"The streets are so quiet... Aside from the rain, there isn't any other sound."
Lin Nai walked back toward the hotel.
His crimson eyes surveyed his surroundings, while he considered what to have for dinner.
Hmm...
Today, he would try some cabbage soup from this Russian side of town.
"Then I'll take a shortcut."
Lin Nai murmured softly and turned right into an alley.
After spending a few days here, he had more or less figured out the layout of the area.
But as he entered the alley, Lin Nai, holding his umbrella, stopped involuntarily.
A girl leaned silently against the wall, her head hanging low and her eyes closed.
Her long white hair was tied into two braids.
She was exceptionally pretty. Even at such a young age, it was obvious she would grow up to be beautiful.
Rain poured freely over her body.
Her clothes had become somewhat translucent.
Her still-undeveloped body was faintly visible beneath them.
Her petite figure looked so helpless there.
Lin Nai froze for a moment.
What was going on with this kid? Why was she here in the rain?
Holding his umbrella, Lin Nai walked over to the girl.
He gently shook her, but she did not wake up at all.
Lin Nai moved his hand elsewhere.
The moment he sensed that she was still breathing, he subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
That scared him to death.
He had almost thought he had stumbled upon a dumped corpse, or that he was about to be blamed for something.
As long as she was alive, it was fine...
Well, he could not just leave her here either.
Lin Nai looked at the girl, thought for two seconds, then hoisted her onto his shoulder without another word.
"Heave-ho!"
He would take her back to the hotel first.
She would catch a cold if she stayed out in the rain.
It was just a shame he did not run a café, and he had no idea whether she had amnesia. Otherwise, he would have named her Kiryu Sento.
"No matter what price a Kaslana has to pay, they will protect the person they love most."
"We made a promise, didn't we?"
"Goodbye, Kiana."
"Dad!!!"
Kiana jolted awake from her dream, her flat chest heaving violently.
Her beautiful sapphire-blue pupils contracted rapidly.
She remained silent for a while.
Kiana placed her right hand over her chest. Was it a dream?
It felt so real.
Only then did Kiana realize that she had no idea where she was.
The furnishings were somewhat luxurious.
A large, soft bed.
And a comfortable blanket.
Everything around her felt unfamiliar, making Kiana wary.
When she turned her head, she saw a boy staring blankly at her, just about to eat some ramen.
Kiana blinked.
Lin Nai blinked.
Neither of them moved.
One sat there, while the other held chopsticks, ready to bring noodles to his mouth.
The atmosphere became awkward.
Only when Lin Nai felt his hand growing sore did he finally speak. "Want some?"
"I..."
Grrr...
Kiana wanted to refuse, but her body was honest and let out a hungry growl.
It embarrassed Kiana, and her ears flushed slightly red.
"Come eat. I made a portion for you."
Lin Nai smiled and beckoned to her.
Since he had to take care of someone who had been unconscious, Lin Nai figured noodles would be easier to digest.
So he borrowed the hotel kitchen and made two bowls of ramen.
Of course, he had also ordered a bowl of cabbage soup. He had not forgotten his original plan.
Kiana carefully climbed out of bed.
When she saw that Lin Nai was alone, she was not actually all that wary anymore.
Leaving aside the fact that he was around her age.
Even if an adult came, they might not be able to beat her now.
After all, she was Kiana Kaslana!
She was very good at Kaslana Gun Fu!
She was not afraid of ordinary people at all!
Not to mention someone around her age, who was showing her kindness and made her feel comfortable.
"Th... thank you."
Kiana accepted the chopsticks Lin Nai handed her from who knew where and thanked him.
But there was one problem!
She did not know how to use them!
But someone as strong-willed as her—who definitely was not stubborn—would never say that!
