Kiana proposed this arrangement based on her belief that Lin Nai posed no threat.
Aside from Lin Nai's cooking, Kiana didn't feel threatened by Lin Nai in front of her.
What's more.
From the very beginning, Lin Nai had been acting with goodwill to help her.
Young Kiana didn't know why, but she also wanted to respond with goodwill.
Perhaps this world was full of goodwill?
And so, it was settled.
Kiana would sleep on the sofa, and Lin Nai would sleep on the bed.
But actually, the hotel sofa wasn't too bad.
At night, Kiana lay on the bed, gazing at the ceiling. What a lucky day it had been...
She met a good person, ate a full meal, and had a comfortable place to sleep.
It was much better than sleeping under the bridge...
Already exhausted, Kiana's eyelids grew heavy, and she fell asleep in no time.
Chapter 3: Superman Kiana, Open Your Eyes
A few days later.
Looking at Kiana in front of her, Lin Nai stroked their chin thoughtfully.
Finally, they spread their arms.
"Shout my... not this."
"Cough, cough, Superman Kiana, open your eyes, I am Lin Nai."
Kiana: zzz...
Kiana was still fast asleep.
Lin Nai tilted their head in confusion. Wasn't that the activation command?
When they had first woken up in this world, the system had called out to them like this.
[Superman Lin Nai, open your eyes, I am System III]
"It doesn't work? Then I'll change it."
"Kiana, you unlucky... No, no, this won't do."
Lin Nai shook their head abruptly. That was a bit too rude.
Lin Nai rubbed their chin, pondering what to change it to...
Speaking of which, how did that unreliable white-haired court magician address their king?
It seemed to be...
"Kiana, dinner's ready."
"Food! Where's the food! Where's the food!!"
Kiana suddenly sat up, and in the process, her head firmly smashed into Lin Nai's.
"Guh!!"
Both Lin Nai and Kiana let out a muffled... whimper, and then fell.
One landed on the sofa, the other on the floor.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Kiana, your head is really hard..."
"Mmm... I should be the one saying that..."
Kiana clutched her head, feeling as if she had hit iron in that instant.
She strongly suspected that if Lin Nai were to headbutt a crystal, they could instantly complete some mining task for a certain Rider Captain without a horse.
Coincidentally.
Lin Nai thought the same thing.
Kiana's head was incredibly hard.
"Mmm... It's so early, why did you call me so early?" Kiana rubbed her messy hair.
"Didn't you ask me to call you at seven-thirty?"
Lin Nai squinted, asking who it was that had asked to be woken up yesterday.
"Ah... Sorry, I forgot..."
Kiana smiled sheepishly:
"I just remembered, I need to find a copy shop and make missing person posters."
"Let's go, I'll take you to the printing place," Lin Nai said, patting their behind and getting up.
"Thanks for the trouble."
After a quick wash-up, the two of them set off.
Lin Nai had been in this town for a while, so he was familiar with where to find a copy shop.
Last night, when Lin Nai was chatting with Kiana, he casually mentioned that using a missing person poster was a way to find someone.
This caught Kiana's attention, and she immediately told Lin Nai to wake her up at 7:30 the next morning.
Perhaps it was because of the quiet and comfortable environment.
Kiana slept more soundly than usual.
"By the way, how do you plan to write it?"
"Huh? Uh…"
Walking down the street, Kiana's eyes were distant, lost in thought.
After a few minutes of thinking, she finally spoke…
"Looking for a man with white hair who is creepy in a bar, missing an arm, lecherous. Please contact if seen… uh…"
Kiana stopped in her tracks.
Lin Nai also stopped and asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong?"
"I… I don't have any contact information…"
Kiana blinked. How should she put it? She didn't have a phone…
Lin Nai: "…"
After meeting Kiana's gaze for two seconds, Lin Nai spread his hands, "What are you looking at me for? As if I have one."
Even if he bought a phone, he couldn't get a SIM card.
After all, he was undocumented.
"Mmm… then what should we do? We don't have a contact address either…"
Kiana sighed.
Lin Nai shrugged, "What else can we do… If all else fails, we can just have whoever sees him tell your dad you're looking for him?"
"That probably won't work. After all, he's the one who abandoned me."
As Kiana said this, her lonely figure appeared somewhat dejected, her face filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Lin Nai reached out and, under Kiana's slightly puzzled gaze, gently flicked her forehead.
"Ouch!!"
"Don't overthink it. Your father probably had some unspeakable reason."
Although letting such a young child wander alone was indeed… well.
Lin Nai couldn't really comment.
Besides, was the awakening of the Herrscher of the Void related to Siegfried?
He couldn't quite remember clearly.
Due to too much emotional turmoil, Lin Nai had very little understanding of the Honkai Impact 3rd story itself.
But he knew the general outline.
"After all, Kiana is very cute. Who wouldn't like her?" Lin Nai patted Kiana's head.
"Hehe, thanks for the compliment."
Kiana smiled, her mood clearly a little better than before, and walked ahead.
Lin Nai had one hand in his pocket, following behind.
No matter what, they should print the missing person poster first.
They could just put the hotel as the contact address.
Speaking of which, did he see those two guys on the previous street too?
Lin Nai glanced not far away. Two men wearing hats were sitting together, chatting as if nothing was wrong.
But Lin Nai felt that the two looked familiar.
Three o'clock direction…
There were people at seven o'clock as well. Suspicious glances had been present for a while now.
Probably pickpockets.
But there couldn't be two pickpockets.
So, they were here to cause trouble.
Kiana was new here, and she had been with him these past few days. She couldn't have gotten into any trouble…
Meaning, the target was him?
Is it a local gang?
But that group should have been scared out of their wits by now, right?
Tsk tsk tsk, these outsider gangs are so rude.
"Kiana."
"Hm?"
Kiana turned around and noticed a wallet flying towards her, fumbling to catch it.
"I suddenly remembered I have something to do. The copy shop is over there. I'll find you later."
"Huh? Ah, okay."
Kiana nodded, not asking any further questions, and walked into the copy shop.
Lin Nai, on the other hand, turned and entered a small alley.
Then, after taking many turns, it arrived at another location.
Sensing the hurried footsteps behind it, but they hadn't lost its trail at all?
Lin Nai raised an eyebrow. It seems it wasn't some outsider gang?
Ah... these local gangs are really too impolite.
But aren't they really not afraid?
Even though they were beaten black and blue last time, and even their treasury and all their assets were emptied.
It was just short of stripping that group naked, hanging them all on the streetlights, and attracting media coverage.
