[Kiana: So it was just a dream? Thank goodness, thank goodness. I knew I'd definitely finish my homework properly.] [Bronya (Honkai Impact): Bronya believes that even if Kiana were given another chance, idiot Kiana still wouldn't do her homework properly.] [Kiana: What do you mean, Bronya?! I'm a woman who's going to become Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie. Mere homework can't stump me!] [Durandal: ...] [Rita: (Alert)!] [Mei: Kiana, don't say such nonsense!] [Kiana: Mei, what did I say wrong? Bug Bug confused.jpg]
In the Valkyrie dormitory, Bronya looked at Kiana in disbelief—even though it didn't show on her face. "Bronya originally thought idiot Kiana merely liked Sister Mei. Bronya never expected you to have your eyes on Durandal, Schicksal's strongest S-rank Valkyrie, too?"
Bronya looked as if she were about to go find Mei, who was preparing dinner. "It seems Bronya needs to tell Sister Mei to stay far away from the fickle, scummy woman Kiana."
Realizing what she had said, Kiana hurriedly stopped Bronya, her face flushed. "Wait, Bronya, that's not what I meant..."
Bronya turned to look at Kiana, a glint of having succeeded in her scheme appearing in her eyes.
Seeing Bronya's expression, Kiana realized she had been played.
"Shorty, you tricked me again!"
"Bronya didn't trick you. Besides, this isn't the time to argue with Bronya, is it..."
"Oh, right!" Kiana came to her senses and hurriedly looked toward the Livestream Room. By now, the comments had gradually gone off the rails.
[Elysia: Oh my, Kiana really is quite the fickle girl. But I don't dislike that, you know?] [Durandal: While I appreciate your feelings, I'm sorry, but I have no interest in that sort of thing.] [Rita: Exactly. Miss Kiana, please don't set your sights on Lady Durandal. (Sharpening knife)] [Seigfried: @Theresa, you little short legs, how did you raise Kiana? How did my Kiana become a scummy woman?!] [Theresa: Seigfried, what does this have to do with me?! If there's a reason, it's because of you! You must have passed your fickle nature down to Kiana.] [Murata Himeko: I see. No wonder Kiana always sleeps in the same bed as me after I get drunk.] [Murata Himeko: Kiana, I'm sorry, but your teacher can't return these feelings. Your teacher still wants to find a reliable boyfriend...] [Kiana: No! Everyone, I meant "I'm going to become the strongest S-rank Valkyrie," not "I'm going to become the strongest S-rank Valkyrie's woman."] [Kiana: And Teacher Himeko, you're the one who goes into the wrong room every time you get drunk, then insists on hugging me in my bed while you sleep.] [Kiana: And you, stinky Dad, where are you? Why did you leave me all alone back then?!] [System: All right, all right, stop arguing.] [System: Now it's reward time!] [Ding! Congratulations to Kiana for obtaining Cat Cake (Chinese sugar-free bread) ×3.]
Cat Cake (Chinese sugar-free bread)
A lifeform created by a genius from another world. Its creator called it "not a qualified creation, but a qualified cute pet." The Cat Cakes improved by the system would take on different appearances depending on their owner...
[Klee: The Cat Cakes are so cute, just as cute as Dodo-Bird! (?ω?)] [Klee: Photo with Dodo-Bird at Starfall Lake.jpg] [Jean: Klee! You went fish-bombing again!] [Klee: Oh no, oh no, I forgot Grand Master Jean was here too. Klee will come back right away.] [Herta: @Ruan Mei, this looks like one of your creations, doesn't it?] [Ruan Mei: It is indeed my creation, but I never made this flavor.] [Kiana: @Ruan Mei, so this is your creation? Then what should these Cat Cakes be fed?] [Ruan Mei: Anything is fine. Their diet is roughly the same as humans'; they can eat anything humans can.]
Holding three pure-white Cat Cakes in her arms, Kiana excitedly said to Mei, "Mei, Mei, look at my Cat Cakes! Aren't they adorable?"
Mei set down the vegetables in her hands. Seeing Kiana's eager expression as she waited for praise, Mei could not help but smile. "Mm-hm, mm-hm. Just as cute as you."
"Then, Mei, let's each raise one." Hearing Mei call her cute, Kiana smiled even more brightly.
"Sure, Kiana." Mei agreed, then asked, "But what about the third one?" Mei looked toward Bronya, who was playing a game nearby yet kept glancing over from time to time.
Kiana followed Mei's gaze to Bronya. "Yeah, what should we do with the last one..."
Hearing Kiana's words, Bronya guessed what she meant and stood up. "In that case, Bronya..."
Before Bronya could finish, Kiana interrupted her. "If someone is willing to call me Sister Kiana right now, I wouldn't mind giving her one..."
Upon hearing Kiana's words, Bronya immediately changed her tune. "Bronya will help Sister Mei bring out the food."
Even if Bronya dies, Bronya will never call this Grassworm sister.
Seeing that neither of them was willing to yield, Mei could only step forward helplessly to smooth things over.
"All right, Kiana, let Bronya help raise one. After all, aside from us, only Teacher Himeko lives in the dormitory. Teacher Himeko is usually very busy—you can't possibly ask her to raise one too, can you?"
Hearing Mei's words, Kiana took a step back and placed one Cat Cake into Bronya's arms. "Since Mei has said so, this young lady will generously give you one."
Bronya ignored Kiana. She gently held the Cat Cake, sat on the sofa, and tenderly stroked it.
In truth, Bronya had a secret she had never told Kiana and the others: she really liked kneading cute things, such as Homu dolls.
(The author doesn't know whether Bronya likes that, but since her Parallel body Silver Wolf said she likes it very much, the author will assume Bronya likes it too.)
[System: It seems you all really like Cat Cakes...] [Kiana: Cat Cakes are super cute, and they even smell like steamed buns.] [System: Then next comes question time.] [Otto: This time, I must seize the chance to answer.] [Tesla: Yo, does the First Green One want to get cheated on again?] [March 7th: I'm going to work hard to buzz in first this time too.] [Bennett: Getting the chance to answer probably has nothing to do with me.] [Xiangling: If I get it right, I wonder whether I'll be rewarded with some ingredients I've never seen before.]
(Can someone help come up with a few names for the Cat Cakes? The author is terrible at naming things, please??? (●˙?˙●)???)
