From a rational and emotional standpoint…

Wait, maybe she shouldn't have spoken up?

"What's wrong? Cocolia?"

"No… what's wrong with Dr. Tesla?"

"Dr. Tesla's leg was numb when she woke up this morning," Einstein said expressionlessly.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, a hint of slyness appeared on her usually blank face.

She reached out and struck Dr. Tesla's numb thigh!

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

Dr. Tesla let out a scream!

She felt as if her thigh was about to fall apart!

"Bird's nest hair! You fing***********! F*** your*****! Your mother's*****!!"

Lin Nai, walking at the front, immediately activated the silencer the moment he heard the curse words.

Get it straight, most of the kids in the orphanage are children.

It's fine if you're a Schicksal telegraph machine, but they can't be!

Little kids should have good manners, otherwise, they'll suffer.

Kiana was wolfing down her food and only looked up when she heard the silencer.

Her face showed confusion.

What happened? What happened?

What was that just now?

Lin Nai, walking ahead, his eyes darted around, and he thought of something.

Lin Nai turned around, knelt on one knee, and solemnly handed the silencer to Einstein as if presenting a treasure.

He actually did this to prevent Kiana from learning it.

Some villains curse quite filthily.

So Lin Nai basically had to mute them every time.

After all, everyone's vocabulary for cursing is definitely more than just "Are you crazy?"

"Ein, you know this telegraph machine best, please."

Einstein sensed what Lin Nai was thinking and said with a solemn expression, "Don't worry, Ein will strictly control Tesla!"

"After all, Dr. Tesla is clumsy, stupid, and loves to curse, but she is still Einstein's dear friend!"

As she spoke, Einstein didn't forget to mute Tesla.

Unlike Lin Nai.

Lin Nai only muted the curse words.

Einstein, however, pressed the mute button the moment Tesla opened her mouth.

The two of them started playing like this.

And they proceeded to make a series of (harmless) criticisms about Tesla.

Mostly, Einstein was spouting nonsense, and Lin Nai was chiming in with Einstein, patching up Tesla's shortcomings.

Dr. Tesla: "..."

Wait, why are you two playing like this!

Bird's nest hair! Why did you accept it so naturally! Don't ignore me!

And when do I snore when I sleep, you idiot!

I'll report you two to the Schicksal court!

You two slanderers!!

Dr. Tesla's expression was complicated. For the first time, she understood the meaning of the phrase "I should have been under the car."

What about that little girl from the Kaslana family?

Aren't you going to do something about it?

Dr. Tesla turned her head and saw Kiana devouring her food with large mouthfuls.

She was stunned for a moment.

No, how can you eat so happily!!

Then she looked at Bronya.

Bronya was watching Lin Nai and Einstein's act with great interest.

She found it quite amusing.

Finally, Einstein pushed Tesla to the brink of wanting to die, ending her complaining about the game.

The two of them had teamed up to mess with Tesla.

You see.

Isn't Tesla now in the zone between wanting to live and wanting to die?

It only takes one step to make Tesla want to die.

It also only takes one step to bring Tesla back to normal.

"Hey, Kiana, you're eating well! What bowl is this?"

Lin Nai sat beside Kiana.

Kiana paused and quietly put down her bowl. "Um... I forgot..."

"Five bowls," Bronya said abruptly.

Kiana's mouth twitched. She glared at Bronya, thinking, How could you say something like that?!

Tesla, who was just about to start eating, froze. She looked at Kiana, then at her bowl.

Sigh...

You ate five bowls, and you're still not fat?

Your stomach hasn't even gotten bigger...

Where did all the food you ate go?

Even Einstein looked over, scrutinizing Kiana with curiosity.

Strange.

Are people from the Kaslana family really that much of eaters?

That can't be right.

Siegfried Kaslana didn't seem to eat this much, did he?

Is Kiana an exception?

"Kiana, um... binge eating is bad for your stomach. Be careful," Lin Nai said, rubbing her temples.

In just a few minutes, Kiana had managed to devour five bowls.

It was hard to believe how fast this "grasshopper" ate.

"I know... but it really tastes good," Kiana said sheepishly.

"I couldn't help myself... and Aunt Cocolia agreed to it too."

"Mhm..."

Noticing Lin Nai's gaze, Cocolia nodded.

What can I say?

Isn't it normal to let a child eat their fill?

I just didn't expect Kiana to be able to eat this much...

Good thing I prepared enough food.

Most children actually can't eat much. Not everyone has as good an appetite as Kiana.

Lin Nai rubbed Kiana's head. "Be mindful next time."

"Yes, yes~"

Kiana listened to Lin Nai's words.

Mainly, Lin Nai hoped Kiana would be a little more ladylike in front of outsiders.

Kiana understood.

After all, Lin Nai had never restricted her diet; she just didn't let her eat too quickly.

At the very least, when Lin Nai cooked, Kiana ate happily and could get unlimited refills.

PS: I saw some comments saying it's confusing and that the combat power is messed up, needing ultimate skills even for a Honkai Beast.

Well...

You're right that the Light Ice Blade is an ultimate skill. But you also have to consider when it's used.

The protagonist has only fought Honkai Beasts of normal size, like the charging or knight types.

So, they've only used skills like the Ultra Disk Blade, which are of similar size.

However, the protagonist has never encountered a Honkai Beast of Tank-type or higher.

The Tank-type was quite imposing in the manga.

Facing a Honkai Beast that was about the height of a building.

Some people prefer to test the waters with small attacks, while others like to go all out with their ultimate abilities from the start.

Noah even used a nuke to swat a mosquito.

From my perspective, when facing a giant enemy, it's only natural to instinctively charge up, right?

If you say the plot is confusing, I can understand, because I really didn't write it well.

I admit that, the plot could be described as a complete mess.

Maybe I should have started the story in Changkong City instead of setting the timeline so far back.

But if you say the combat power is confusing, that could certainly be my fault too.

It's like in Honkai: Star Rail, I use Seele's ultimate to fight a fire bird, or when it's almost over and I'm low on health, I use Natasha's ultimate.

It's mainly because I'm too lazy to go back and heal.

So, if I've disturbed your viewing experience, I apologize once again.

Chapter 29: Dr. Tesla: Mind your own business, pretty girl!

After breakfast.

Since the people from Schicksal hadn't arrived yet, Lin Nai and the others still had to stay at Cocolia Orphanage.

So after breakfast, Lin Nai returned to his room.

"Lin Nai, I'm so bored..." Kiana lay on the bed, tossing and turning out of boredom.
