I, Herrscher Slayer

"Holy shit, Kiana, why did you come in? Did you time it so you could burst in right when I was halfway through peeing? You black-hearted maggot, and here I was actually a little grateful to you just now. I must've been blind... What are you doing? Let go already, holy shit!"

Shen Gonglin was so frightened that he started cursing. Kiana had rushed in when he was only halfway done, and stopping at that point was no longer something he could control. Just as he tried to turn around and block Kiana's view, that perverted girl moved. She grabbed his arm and, without a care, dragged him through the window and out. Shen Gonglin did not even have time to pull up his pants. Wearing an expression of utter despair, he was hauled onto the roof of the car by the arm. This was over. The remaining half of his stock had all spilled onto the floor and his pants. Shen Gonglin felt like his life was over.

"I told you something was happening! Pull up your pants already! Honkai Beasts are coming! Why does it feel a little warm... Shen Gonglin, I told you to tuck it in! Don't pee on me!"

Perhaps that warm sensation had made Miss Kiana realize what was happening. When she saw the streaks of liquid on her clothes and pants, she understood immediately. Kiana, who had only just calmed down, felt her mind collapse again. Shen Gonglin still had not stopped, so to keep him from continuing to pee on her, Kiana could only lift him high overhead. With the car's forward momentum, that should solve the problem, right?

And so Shen Gonglin cried. Even though no one could see him on the roof of the car, he still cried. There was no longer any reason for him to exist in this society, was there? And on top of that, Kiana had lifted him up so high. Maybe he should put on that humiliating hat?

"Okay, finally done. Shen Gonglin, get ready to fight. This is Honkai... Hey, what are you doing?!"

Seeing that Shen Gonglin had finally emptied his stock, Kiana put him down and summoned her twin pistols. As a Valkyrie trainee, she naturally carried her weapons with her at all times. It was a required skill for Valkyries. It supposedly involved some kind of quantum field, but Kiana did not understand it. As long as it worked, that was enough.

Then Kiana watched Shen Gonglin pull up his pants, put on that green cat-ear hood, and stagger toward the other side of the vehicle. The driver seemed to have noticed the situation behind them and kept accelerating. If Shen Gonglin kept walking, he would fall off the car.

Kiana hurriedly reached out and grabbed Shen Gonglin. What was wrong with this guy? She did not even care that he had peed all over her, so why did he look like he no longer wanted to live? Hadn't he been able to fight the Class President evenly? What was this? Had the Honkai Beasts scared him stupid?

Kiana thought those Honkai Beasts looked rather cute.

"Leave me alone. Just let me die once. Maybe I have a death reset ability. I screwed up this save file, and there won't be any happy ending if I keep playing. Don't pull me! If I jump from this speeding car with my delicate skin and tender flesh, I'll definitely die! Stop pulling me!"

Shen Gonglin crawled toward the edge like a madman. After hesitating for a long time, Kiana still endured the strange liquid on her body and grabbed his leg. What nonsense was he talking about? What death reset? What happy ending? And had Shen Gonglin just casually said something incredibly shameless? What did he mean by delicate skin and tender flesh? Did he really think that about himself?

"It's fine, it's fine. I'm the only one who saw it. Besides, I don't care. I can just wash my clothes when we get back. And it's not even the first time I've seen it. Remember what Mei and I said before? When you were unconscious, we gave you a bath. Back then, you had nothing on except a pair of socks, and you were even wearing Bronya's knee-high socks. I've seen it already, so it's fine!"

Kiana tried hard to comfort Shen Gonglin, unaware that every word she said was stabbing needles straight into his heart. After hearing her, Shen Gonglin's desire to die only grew stronger.

"Don't pull me. Just let me die. Just once!"

Public Execution

Judging by the time, Her Highness the Angel should arrive within the next couple of days. It seemed she needed to prepare to welcome her.

High above Europe, on a massive floating island, Rita Roseweisse, dressed in a maid outfit, was enjoying morning tea in her room. Although she was alone, she still maintained an elegant posture, as though such habits had been etched into her body. Looking out the window, the dark golden-haired girl drained her cup of black tea in one gulp. She was the one in charge of receiving the guest. Sending one of Schicksal's three strongest public combatants should not diminish Her Highness the Angel's status. She was already a little impatient.

Her Highness the Angel was almost as adorable as Lady Theresa. What kind of surprise would she bring once she woke up?

"Vice Captain, Vice Captain, something's wrong! The Detection Department has found something..."

At that moment, Rita's tightly shut door was abruptly pushed open, and a flustered girl ran inside. Even faced with such behavior, Rita's composure did not change in the slightest. Although she wore a maid outfit, it was merely a personal hobby. She often called herself a maid, but nobody dared truly treat her like one. After all, this elegant woman looked more like a noble lady than anyone else.

"Calm down, tool... Alvit. I believe I've told you that no matter when, you should maintain the elegance of a proper lady."

After placing her cup on the table, Rita, who had a subtle obsessive streak, turned the cup handle and the teapot neatly to one side before nodding slightly. Only then did she look at Alvit, her team member. No matter how much Rita taught her, she never seemed able to carry herself with the elegance of a reserved young lady.

"Vice Captain, you were about to call me a tool just now, weren't you? It's one thing when everyone else on the team calls me that, but why are you doing it too? If you keep calling me that, I'm really going to cry!"

The girl who had barged in complained to her vice captain with a miserable expression. Really, they could not give her that nickname just because she was reliable and useful. No girl would be willing to accept a title like "tool." She had thought the Vice Captain was a considerate and mature woman, but why was she just like those idiot teammates?

"Calm down, Alvit. Believe me, I had no intention of calling you a tool... Also, you said the Detection Department had intelligence. What exactly happened? Tell me directly."

Rita calmly changed the subject. She showed not the slightest embarrassment at being called out by a subordinate. After all, Alvit really was both durable and useful. Calling her a tool was because Rita trusted and relied on her. Still, since she did not like it, Rita would refrain from saying it openly in the future. After putting away the teacup, Rita stood and looked at Alvit. What situation could make this tool... make Alvit so flustered?

"...It's an emergency, Vice Captain, so I won't argue about you changing the subject. The Detection Department discovered intense Honkai energy readings on the outskirts of Canghai City. The exact Honkai energy level is still unknown. We only have drone units deployed there, and that kind of firepower clearly cannot contend with Honkai. The Bishop is nowhere to be found right now, so we could only report this to you."

Knowing this was not the time to argue about being called a tool, Alvit quickly delivered the intelligence to Rita. After hearing it, Rita immediately left her room and headed to the Immortal Blade combat readiness room. Immortal Blade was Schicksal's strongest squad, and Rita was its vice captain. The Bishop was absent, and the captain was absent as well. The strongest combat force remaining at the base was Rita and a small portion of the Immortal Blade members.

"Vice Captain!"

When Rita entered the combat readiness room, the Immortal Blade members waiting inside immediately rose and greeted her. Rita was the last to learn this intelligence, while the others had already prepared for battle.

"Alvit, bring up the drone surveillance feed. If there are Honkai energy readings, there will definitely be Honkai Beasts. Dispatch the drone units to intercept them first. Prioritize locating human activity closest to the Honkai Beast readings. Also, Immortal Blade Third Squad, prepare to deploy. Notify the other teams on standby in the base to prepare rescue operations."

Rita issued each combat order in an orderly fashion. With the Bishop and captain absent, she was the one responsible for this base. As an experienced and exceptionally powerful S-rank Valkyrie, she had that responsibility and duty.

"Understood. The other Valkyrie teams have received the orders... The Honkai readings just appeared. The drone units have detected human activity closest to the Honkai Beasts. It appears to be an intercity bus leaving the city... I'll bring up the footage."

As expected of the strongest tool. Alvit might not be particularly skilled in combat, but when it came to intelligence, she was unquestionably among the best. Her fingers tapped rapidly across a virtual light screen as she pulled up the nearby drone feed. The screens in the combat room immediately lit up. For an enormous organization that fought Honkai, this level of intelligence gathering was perfectly ordinary.

"Are there no active Valkyries nearby? With drone firepower alone, there's no way to have much effect against this number of Honkai Beasts."

Rita frowned as she watched the images sent back by the drones. There was only one bus speeding down the highway, but there were hundreds of Honkai Beasts surrounding it. At most, the drones could provide tactical support. It was impossible to rely on them.

"I'm very sorry. The area is wasteland, so there are no settlements or combat units nearby. The people on that bus probably... Wait, that girl. Looking at the emblem on her clothes, is she a Valkyrie?"

Just as Immortal Blade worried about the people on the bus, a white figure suddenly smashed through the glass and shot onto the roof. Sharp-eyed Alvit instantly spotted the Schicksal emblem on the back of Kiana's jacket. The discovery delighted her. As long as there was a Valkyrie who could fight, the people on that bus might have a chance of surviving.

"Yes, she should be a Valkyrie... Look, she isn't alone. She's even dragging someone in her hand... What is she doing?!"

Another squad member was equally delighted, but the white-haired Valkyrie's next action made the entire Immortal Blade squad blush furiously.

On the screen, the white-haired Valkyrie suddenly lifted the boy she was carrying high overhead. With the drone's high-definition camera, everyone saw everything clearly. Th-this was something they needed to wash their eyes for!

"It seems... my Her Highness the Angel has recovered quite well."

Unlike the other Immortal Blade members who covered their eyes, Rita watched the footage with interest and revealed a faint smile. It seemed Immortal Blade had no choice but to deploy this time.

"Stop fooling around! If you want to play, I'll play with you after we get back. For now, get serious and prepare to fight! Everyone in this bus is depending on the two of us. Hurry up!"

While one hand held Shen Gonglin's leg to stop him from jumping off, Kiana was already firing with her other hand. Like the guns wielded by movie protagonists, the weapon in Kiana's hand had not stopped firing or needed a reload since she opened fire. This was what unlimited bullets meant. It was all thanks to Valkyrie training. The ultimate goal of Valkyries was to make rational use of Honkai energy in battle, and converting Honkai energy into bullets was one such method. Still, if she wanted greater damage, that was a little insufficient.

"Give up on me, Kiana. Thank you for taking care of me all this time. When you get back, please tell Mei that I love her. Tell the Class President it was my fault for always mocking her figure in my heart. As for Bronya... I definitely wasn't secretly resentful that she never let me win when we played games. And tell Theresa to remember to burn the next volume of manga for me. I'm leaving now... Let go, Kiana. After what you did to me, I have no reason to keep living. Please live on with my share included."

Shen Gonglin desperately tried to pry Kiana's hand away. Right now, he wanted to jump from the bus and melt into the speeding highway. Hopefully, he could land headfirst and die instantly. In this matter, Shen Gonglin's sense of shame had reached an unprecedented level. After arranging his last words, he was determined to die. Not even the screams from inside the bus could stop him.

I'm trying to die here. Who has time to care about you people? At worst, I'll die first and save you all good spots over there, okay?

"So you really do have designs on Mei! And as for the others... Shen Gonglin, are you a devil? The Class President treats you so well, yet you still make up things about her in your head. You can tell them yourself when we get back... Oh, right. I remember you're afraid of pain, aren't you? You might not die if you jump from here, but it'll definitely hurt a lot. Think about it. That rough concrete road, the pothole-filled highway worn down by wind and sand, so coarse and uneven. Someone with delicate skin and tender flesh like you would be scraped into a mess of rotten meat at this speed. And even then, you wouldn't die. Just imagine it, like an eraser rubbing against sandpaper."

Kiana was instantly enraged after hearing Shen Gonglin's words. He had come out with her, yet he was still thinking about Mei. At that moment, Kiana had wanted to let go and let Shen Gonglin fall from the car. But the young lady of the Kaslana family was kind-hearted after all, and even then, she did not abandon him. Seeing that he still refused to give up, Kiana looked at the road below and suddenly came up with this idea. Shen Gonglin was very afraid of pain. He definitely would not be able to accept dying that way.

Sure enough, Shen Gonglin immediately stopped struggling after hearing Kiana's description. She had made it far too vivid. The image had already appeared in his mind. That would definitely hurt. His entire body would be scraped bloody and mangled. Forget it, forget it. That way of dying was far too painful. Was there not a more comfortable way to die?

"Besides, dying like that is worse than dying in battle. You really want a good reputation, don't you? Dying while fighting Honkai would definitely make up for that embarrassing thing from before. When people talk about you in the future, they won't say, 'Oh, that pervert who casually peed on a girl and bared everything to the sky.' They'll say you were courageous, charging into battle against Honkai at once without regard for yourself! Which one you choose is up to you, Shen Gonglin!"

Feeling the force of Shen Gonglin's struggling weaken in her hand, Kiana finally freed up both hands and began firing her twin pistols at the Honkai Beasts in the distance. This girl liked fighting with dual guns. This trip had been worth it. Not only had she gotten to play with Shen Gonglin, but she could exercise properly too. What luck!

"...You're right. Where's my sword? Where's my sword?!"

Temporarily abandoning the thought of jumping off the vehicle, Shen Gonglin prepared to vent all his resentment on the incoming Honkai Beasts. These things seemed to have no awareness. Their purpose appeared to be attacking humans. The Honkai Beasts in this area were all targeting the vehicle beneath him and Kiana. As expected of a Valkyrie, even an idiot like Kiana had chosen the most advantageous battlefield the moment combat began. As long as he and Kiana remained on the roof, everyone in the bus would be safe.

"Huh? You use a sword? But I don't have one. Want some empty shell casings instead?"

Kiana had not actually expected Shen Gonglin to join the fight. As long as he stayed alive without trying to kill himself or interfering with her, she would be happy. Seeing how fierce he looked now, Kiana finally remembered that Shen Gonglin was not some powerless boy. Not only could he fight the Class President to a draw, he also had strange abilities. When they first met, that Permanent Air-to-Air Missile move still appeared in Kiana's dreams even now. She had to admit it: dream Shen Gonglin was super cool!

"I was just saying it. Shell casings, right? Those will work too."

There seemed to be memories of fighting with cold weapons in his mind, but Shen Gonglin did not intend to fight that way right now. If he used a melee weapon, he would have to slide in and fight up close. It was better to play bullet hell like this. He crouched down and gathered all the shell casings Kiana had dropped at his feet. Without coins, these would do. They were metal projectiles anyway. Their power might not compare to coins, but they had numbers on their side.

"Watch this. Railgun: Scattershot!"

Shen Gonglin imbued the shell casings in his hand with Electromagnetic Force. The pale golden casings floated strangely around him as arcs of electricity flashed beside his forehead. Locking onto every flying Honkai Beast in his sight, Shen Gonglin raised a hand and waved. Under the control of Electromagnetic Force, the casings shot toward the aerial Honkai Beasts in a manner that even Shen Gonglin himself did not understand. The shell casings poured out like a raging storm, every shot striking a Honkai Beast flying at high speed through the air with perfect accuracy. The swarm that had nearly covered the sky was cleared away in an instant.

Kiana, who was still firing, was dumbfounded. Was Shen Gonglin really this powerful?

The girl turned to look at Shen Gonglin, only to find that he had already collapsed face-first onto the car roof. He had no time to look at the results of his attack. All Shen Gonglin could feel now was the weakness inside his body. Maybe this should not be called a Railgun. Maybe it should be called Explosion Magic. Either way, he could only use it once a day, and after using it, he was completely drained.

"What's wrong with you now?"

"...I'm out of power, Kiana. Please help me turn over. This position isn't good for breathing."

Partner

Looking at the blue sky after the monsters had been wiped out, Shen Gonglin lay on a stone by the roadside and sighed. This was supposed to be a relaxing trip, yet not only had he encountered a busty older woman collecting his unconscious body, he had also run into a monster siege. So this was the Honkai Kiana had mentioned? It did not seem that terrifying. Hadn't he wiped out all those monsters in one move? Sure enough, it was because he was incredibly strong.

"Thank you, young ladies. If you hadn't been here, everyone on this bus might really have been finished. There's no way we can properly express our gratitude, so please at least accept this."

Shen Gonglin lay on the stone recovering his strength, while Kiana was speaking with the driver. It seemed these people understood what had just happened. They had thought they would be attacked by the Honkai Beasts, only to be saved just like that. Everyone offered Kiana their deepest gratitude. This girl was the one who had saved them, wasn't she? They had heard she was one of the legendary Valkyries.

As for the salted fish lying on the stone over there, he was probably something like this Valkyrie's attendant.

"It's fine. As long as you keep moving forward, you'll be safe. The Honkai Beasts came from the direction of the city, so you should be fine if you keep going. Besides, the credit really belongs to Shen Gonglin... Hey, Shen Gonglin, haven't you recovered yet?"

Perhaps she was a little embarrassed by all the thanks. Kiana scratched her head awkwardly. Because Honkai disasters had become increasingly frequent, Schicksal's Valkyries had gradually entered the public eye. She remembered that long ago, even after she defeated Honkai Beasts and saved people, they would only look at her in fear. This kind of treatment was so much better that she hardly knew what to do with it. The girl did not want to take Shen Gonglin's credit. Although she had fought as well, Shen Gonglin had eliminated nearly all the flying Honkai Beasts.

The girl turned to look at Shen Gonglin, and the moment she saw his current pose, her eye twitched. He had looked drained when she carried him down from the roof, but this pose now... He was clearly sunbathing, wasn't he?

"Leave me alone. Just let me lie here by myself. That battle made my heart beat a little fast, so I probably can't get up without artificial respiration for now. Kiana, in this situation, I can only let you have the honor. Get over here already."

This stone was genuinely perfect for a nap and rest. He had used up so much electricity just now, and although he had recovered enough to move, Shen Gonglin still did not want to get up. He still needed to mourn his lost youth here. Under Kiana's influence, he had done something like that. Even if only he and Kiana knew, it was an indelible stain in Shen Gonglin's heart. The fact that he was not trying to kill himself again already proved his mental fortitude. Seeing Kiana reminded him of that incident, so Shen Gonglin crossed his arms and turned away with effort. If he said something like that, Kiana would surely get embarrassed and ignore him, right?

"Huh? You're speaking with that much energy, and you're telling me you need artificial respiration? Get up already. We still have to keep fighting."

Artificial respiration? Shen Gonglin's state made Kiana furious. This guy did not understand the situation at all. A Honkai outbreak meant disaster. As a member of the Kaslana family, Kiana had the responsibility and duty to fight Honkai. Yet Shen Gonglin was stalling her here. What kind of tantrum was he throwing now? Kiana marched angrily toward Shen Gonglin. Artificial respiration? He would definitely get scared and stop her himself in the end!

"Please wait. Artificial respiration, is it? I couldn't help you during the battle, but please let me handle this matter. I have received first-aid training, after all. Lady Valkyrie, leave it to me."

Before Kiana could reach Shen Gonglin, the driver stepped in front of her. It was already embarrassing enough that such a young girl had protected them. At the very least, he needed to do something to help. This Valkyrie's attendant appeared to be unwell, so he would handle this part.

"Uh... Please, go ahead. Shen Gonglin, if you don't get up, this uncle is going to kiss you. The kind where he sticks his tongue into your mouth and wildly smashes your lips together."

Kiana stood on tiptoe and called toward Shen Gonglin. The driver was already approaching him. Kiana had never kissed anyone herself, but her psychological attacks were remarkably effective. Shen Gonglin, who had been lying on his side, abruptly rolled over after hearing that. The first thing he saw was the large, burly driver uncle. Shen Gonglin was so scared he nearly died on the spot.

"N-no, it's fine! I think my body suddenly feels better again. Don't come over... I refuse to give today's first kiss to an uncle! Kiana, save me! Save me!"

Seeing that Shen Gonglin was truly on the verge of tears, Kiana figured he had learned his lesson and quickly came over to carry him on her back. So this guy had been trying to take advantage of her just now, huh? Let's see if he dared act so arrogant in the future. Kiana had never truly intended to let the driver perform artificial respiration on Shen Gonglin. If that happened, she felt like she would develop some sort of psychological trauma too.

"Alright, that's it. Uncle, just keep moving forward. We need to head back."

Kiana waved at the people in the bus, then carried Shen Gonglin on her back and prepared to return the way they came. Since Honkai had appeared, a Valkyrie naturally had to go there. Others could evacuate and flee, but she was one of those who walked against the flow.

"W-wait! I wanted to ask just now. You said you were going to keep fighting. What does that mean?"

The driver had already prepared to start the vehicle, but seeing that Kiana had no intention of getting back on, he seemed to realize something. He widened his eyes at Kiana. Though she had saved everyone on the bus, he still felt that such a cute and fragile-looking girl should not go over there.

"It means exactly what it says. There must be many people like you in the city. I have to go back and save them. Well then, Uncle, bye-bye."

With Shen Gonglin on her back, Kiana turned and ran off. She did not want to waste any more time. Arriving even a moment earlier might mean saving another life.

"W-wait! Then at least leave your attendant with us. Don't worry, we'll take good care of him."

Perhaps worried Shen Gonglin would affect Kiana's fighting, the driver shouted this at her. Shen Gonglin's brow twitched when he heard it. Attendant?

Is he talking about me?

"No need, Uncle. He's not an attendant. He's Shen Gonglin. He's my partner!"

The girl running away turned back and gave them a huge smile. That was right. He was her strongest and most important partner!

"Kiana... How about you put me back? I think that bus is better suited for me. And now that you've left, both seats will be mine. I can lie down properly across the double seat and rest. Why don't you go by yourself?"

Carried on Kiana's back, Shen Gonglin watched the scenery fly past and hesitated for a long time before saying this. Where Kiana was heading now was a battlefield. He might be powerful, but if he could choose, Shen Gonglin would much rather stay in the comfortable bus. Besides, he had almost no power left. If Kiana brought him along, he would only get in her way.

"C-can't you read the mood a little? I was just proudly telling other people that you were my partner! Cheer up and fight, Shen Gonglin. You can do it."

Kiana turned back and glared at Shen Gonglin in dissatisfaction. She had just delivered such a cool line, yet Shen Gonglin did not respond at all. At this point, he should be silently swearing in his heart that he would protect her. That would be the proper development, wouldn't it? What did he mean by hesitating and wanting to run off somewhere comfortable?

"But I'm already out of power. If we run into another fight, I probably won't be able to help you. Protecting myself would already be my limit. Are you still willing to keep someone like me around?"

With his arms around Kiana's neck, Shen Gonglin wriggled upward a little. Without Mei, his charger, nearby, Shen Gonglin could only recover on his own. Right now, he could only maintain the bare minimum ability to move. That precise Railgun scattershot had drained every last bit of power he had painstakingly stored. This was completely unsustainable.

"Of course. We're partners."

Kiana turned back and gave Shen Gonglin a protagonist-like smile. That idiot, who had nothing worth praising except her looks, suddenly made Shen Gonglin's heart skip a beat. Why was Kiana suddenly saying such cool, chuuni lines? It hit Shen Gonglin right in his sweet spot. He felt as though he might accidentally be won over by her if he was not careful.

"Also, if I let you escape alone with the bus, I'd feel really annoyed. It would feel like I'm working hard while you're only thinking about enjoying yourself. So I decided to bring you along. Even if you're completely useless, as long as I can see with my own eyes that you aren't having fun, that's fine."

Sure enough, that flutter in his heart just now had definitely been an illusion. How could this idiot be so good at winning people over? She was bringing him along purely because she did not want him to have an easy time. This was what it meant to not be able to stand seeing others happy.

"Wait, what's with that look like you're looking at a grasshopper... Also, there's something I've wanted to ask you. You mentioned it when you nearly had artificial respiration with that uncle. What do you mean, today's first kiss? Does that mean there was yesterday's first kiss? What exactly do you think a first kiss is?"

They had been rushing onward, and as if making casual conversation, Kiana suddenly remembered the question that had been bothering her. Today's first kiss was still there? Could first kisses be counted by the day? If so, then it seemed her lifetime first kiss had not been given away either.

After all, Mei was completely uncooperative. It was not like Kiana could force her.

"Obviously, it's something that refreshes after midnight. It can probably be sold for money too. Anyway, it should be something very useful. As for why I said today's first kiss, you know how I got picked up by that beautiful, busty older woman yesterday? I was almost unconscious at the time, but just thinking about it, how could she possibly have done nothing to me while I was unconscious? Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if I had kiss marks somewhere on my body even now."

Shen Gonglin had his own understanding of first kisses. In the previous city, he could get hamburgers and fizzy alcohol just by calling someone big sister. Calculating it that way, his first kiss should at least be worth a three-dish meal and a soup. This mission had been great. It felt like he had learned many skills for surviving.

"That must sell for a lot, then. I wonder if my savings are enough... No! Shen Gonglin, remember this: a first kiss isn't something you can casually sell for money! Seriously, I almost got led astray by you. When we get back, if I get the chance, I'll definitely ask that perverted woman who picked you up. She probably didn't have time to do anything to you."

Kiana instinctively began calculating her savings. She always spent money freely when buying things, and even had to ask Mei for her usual spending money. She probably could not afford Shen Gonglin's first kiss. Without realizing it, she had imagined Shen Gonglin's first kiss as some kind of luxury item. Only after calculating for a while did Kiana realize something was wrong. That way of thinking was completely mistaken, wasn't it? Besides, that woman probably had not had time to do anything to Shen Gonglin.

And there were no kiss marks on Shen Gonglin's body. Kiana was absolutely certain of that. After bringing him back to the hotel, she had disliked how much he smelled of alcohol and wiped him down. Without Mei there to interfere this time, she had examined him carefully from head to toe. Of course, this time she had left Shen Gonglin wearing not just socks, but underwear too.

There was nothing wrong with a girl Kiana's age being curious about the bodily structure of a boy around her age, okay?
