Someone in Honkai Finds a Kiana

"Who would understand this!"

Seeing Lin Nai's expression, it was clear they didn't know what was going on either, so Welt gave up on asking further.

After all, he figured he probably couldn't construct the Heavenly Fire Judgment himself.

Besides, the Star of Eden would definitely be used better in his hands than the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

Looking at the Heavenly Fire Judgment, was that something a normal person could wield?

The Kaslana family had countless people who died after drawing the Heavenly Fire.

It was surprising that Siegfried was still alive and well.

This was quite unexpected.

Chapter 45 · Kiana: You're surprisingly kind!

However, he was quite curious if the Heavenly Fire Judgment constructed by Lin Nai could replicate the Heavenly Fire draw technique.

But it should be fine, right?

If what Lin Nai was using was indeed the Herrscher of Reason's abilities, then the Heavenly Fire they constructed should logically be able to use its zero-th rated power.

Soon, Einstein returned carrying a large box.

She placed the box on the table.

As a friend of Tesla for many years, Einstein naturally understood what the other party was thinking.

Or rather, she herself was also quite curious.

She opened the box.

Inside, a cannon-like weapon lay quietly.

Its main body was black and red.

Welt stepped forward and explained, "Although you saw that the Ninth Divine Key I used was spherical."

"The truth is, the real Ninth Divine Key was severely damaged a long time ago due to a certain incident."

Einstein nodded and continued:

"So, Dr. Tesla and I modified the Ninth Divine Key into its current state."

Regarding the cannon in front of them.

Hmm...

Lin Nai's assessment was that it was inferior to what Duck Duck could use.

But upon closer thought, Bronya didn't seem to have her Project Bunny anymore.

Then Bronya couldn't use it now either.

As Lin Nai placed their hand on the Star of Eden, Einstein and Tesla watched intently.

Unfortunately.

Nothing happened.

Not even a random skill was triggered?

This made Lin Nai raise an eyebrow, and they curiously picked up the Star of Eden and tapped it.

Hmm...

"Nothing happened."

"Perhaps only the Heavenly Fire Judgment has such power."

Tesla and Einstein stood aside, discussing why the Star of Eden hadn't changed.

"Perhaps it was just an accident."

Lin Nai placed the Star of Eden on the table.

It seemed that only the Heavenly Fire Judgment could undergo such a transformation.

But if the Heavenly Fire Judgment could, there was no reason why the Star of Eden shouldn't, right?

Lin Nai actually had many questions about this situation, as it was a Divine Key from the previous civilization.

Shouldn't they be capable of similar feats?

Hmm...

How should I put it, the things that happened today were quite troublesome.

The first point was that the Heavenly Fire Judgment was completely different from what they remembered; in their memory, the Heavenly Fire Judgment didn't have any identification functions.

The second point was why the transformation after identification was the same as the flame gun used by the Fire Trailblazer in Honkai: Star Rail.

"What a shame."

Tesla sighed. She had wanted to see what the Star of Eden could evolve into.

She hadn't expected that only the Heavenly Fire Judgment could.

"Boring, boring, so boring."

Lin Nai yawned, feeling utterly uninspired.

He then looked at Einstein and Tesla. "I'll be heading back then."

"Huh? Aren't you taking the Divine Key with you?"

"No need for it."

Lin Nai spread his hands. If it were the spherical type constructed by Welt, he would have taken it.

But this cannon looked troublesome no matter how he looked at it.

He really didn't want to take it.

Rather than letting it sit unused, it was better to leave it here for Tesla and Einstein to continue researching.

Besides, what he gave Tesla was a constructed imitation of Heavenly Fire Judgment.

Though the internal structure should be roughly the same.

"Mm... Alright, but you're the one who doesn't want it!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Lin Nai waved dismissively and left the laboratory.

Einstein walked forward and put away the Star of Eden. She hadn't expected Lin Nai to refuse it.

But upon thinking about it, she realized Lin Nai truly wasn't lacking in offensive capabilities.

Hmm...

Speaking of which, the reason that child didn't want to return Heavenly Fire Judgment to Siegfried... wasn't it because the flame gun was cool?

And the bulky cannon just didn't capture Lin Nai's attention?

Thinking this, Einstein's expression turned strange.

Welt, realizing he was no longer needed, also left. His vacation time was quite limited.

In a while, he would need to return to St. Freya Academy.

Meanwhile.

Lin Nai, upon leaving the laboratory, went straight back to his room. There, he found Duck Duck sitting on his bed, reading a book.

A question mark appeared above Lin Nai's head. "Bronya? What are you doing here?"

"Kiana, the idiot, is talking with her dad, so Bronya came to Lin Nai's place."

Bronya put down her book. She had originally planned to tutor Kiana.

But seeing Kiana reunited with her father after so long, she wisely gave up her spot.

Kiana: You're surprisingly considerate!

Bronya: Of course.

Hm?

You think Duck Duck has ulterior motives?

What bad intentions could Duck Duck possibly have? She simply feels safe when she's by Lin Nai's side.

"I see."

Lin Nai wore a look of realization and sat down on the sofa.

Seeing this, Bronya quickly got off the bed.

Then, without hesitation, she sat on Lin Nai's lap, leaning back against him.

Lin Nai: "..."

"Bronya feels safe here, so she's sitting here. Lin Nai won't mind, right?"

Bronya looked up at Lin Nai, a smile on her face.

"Of course not." Lin Nai didn't mind; he was mostly used to it by now.

He took out his phone but paused.

In this era, there weren't really any short videos to watch.

Even novels were scarce.

Not to mention, Lin Nai wasn't in China.

"If Lin Nai has nothing else to do, tell Bronya a story."

Bronya popped a piece of candy into Lin Nai's mouth and spoke.

Lin Nai ate the candy and ruffled Bronya's head.

Since she had said so, and he had nothing better to do, Lin Nai began to tell Bronya a story.

Because Kiana wasn't present, Lin Nai didn't tell the story of Build.

After all, the greatest use of that story was to guide Kiana and to plant a seed in her that wouldn't collapse.

As for Bronya, Lin Nai wasn't sure what kind of story to tell her.

So, he simply started telling Bronya stories about Gundam.

Mainly because Duck Duck should like mechs and things like that.

And so it went.

As Lin Nai told his stories, time passed, and soon it was night.

Then Lin Nai noticed that this Duck Duck had no intention of leaving.

"Bronya?"

"Bronya can't sleep, so Lin Nai will keep her company tonight."

"No, boy and girl..."

"Does Lin Nai have the heart to watch Bronya unable to sleep like this all night?"

"If I say I do, will I get beaten?"

"Then Bronya will step on Lin Nai's foot without mercy."

"Step on me with white stockings?"

"Step on me with gray stockings."

Bronya, with a pout, stared at Lin Nai before her.

Lin Nai scratched his head and thought for a few seconds.

Finally, he took out a game cartridge from System Space.
