Star Rail: Starting as Kiana

But on the surface, Qing Que still looked like a lazy bum, completely unlike her turbulent inner thoughts.

"Oh right, let me take you out to eat. The food Fu Xuan prepared... it's not that I doubt her cooking, it's just..."

Just what?

Just that she was worried Fu Xuan's cooking would be all sweets.

After all, Fu Xuan's sweet tooth was legendary.

But in the end, the two still ended up at Fu Xuan's residence, heating up and eating the dinner Fu Xuan had prepared.

Looking at the text message on her phone, Qing Que felt like tomorrow would be difficult for her.

Fu Xuan: Qing Que! You are NOT allowed to take Durandal out to eat! Food outside is UNHEALTHY!

Qing Que really wanted to reply, "When you're chugging Star Taro Bobo every day, why don't you say that?"

But before she could, Fu Xuan sent another message.

Fu Xuan: Star Taro Bobo is an exception!

Qing Que: Oh no, has the Supreme Diviner's divination ability gotten stronger recently? Is it really that unbelievable?

After finishing dinner, Kiana took off the white stockings she had worn all day, intending to wash them and hang them up to dry. However, Qing Que interrupted her.

"Wash them for what? Just hang them up. Isn't it tiring to wash one every time you change? Just wash them all together later."

Kiana felt that what Qing Que said made sense, so she hung up the stockings and returned to the sofa to read the gossip section of the Interastral Peace Corporation.

Meanwhile, Qing Que saw that it was getting late and she should head back.

After saying goodbye to Kiana, as soon as she stepped out the door, she saw a familiar creature.

"Huh? Isn't this that little guy from the Craftsmanship Department that imitates the Fox Clan? What was its name again... oh, right, Diting!"

"I remember Diting was borrowed to investigate someone, right?"

Qing Que didn't want to meddle, but when she saw what the creature had in its mouth, for some reason, it felt strangely familiar.

It was a pair of white stockings.

And judging by the familiar pattern, even if she had turned over a new leaf and stopped being lazy today, she wouldn't forget the owner of these stockings.

"Wait, aren't these the Supreme Diviner's white stockings!"

"No..."

Although her Supreme Diviner was small, these stockings were clearly two sizes too small.

Suddenly, Qing Que turned around sharply, looking at where Kiana had hung her stockings earlier.

There were no white stockings there now, only a clothes hanger with nothing on it.

Qing Que felt like her brain couldn't keep up.

Why would the Craftsmanship Department's Diting come to steal stockings?

Could it be that the Craftsmanship Department ran out of money?

And started a new business venture?

Craftsmanship Department: We didn't, we don't have any, and we wouldn't steal little girls' stockings even if we were looking for new investment channels.

When she saw the few people following Diting, Qing Que, who had intended to report to the Cloud-to-Guard, suddenly put down her phone. However, her hand remained hovering over the dial button.

"Huh? Weren't we looking for Kiana? Why is Diting always going to strange places?"

Stelle looked at March 7th with messy hair and a resentful expression.

Although according to Ouyang's arrangements, she wasn't supposed to be with Kiana and Durandal, but with March 7th.

But later, Ouyang had told March 7th that Kiana was fine and didn't need to worry, she was just doing her own thing.

Stelle just didn't expect March 7th to be so persistent. Diting's trial period was already over.

Tomorrow was supposed to be the day they used Diting to track the Stellaron Hunters.

But March 7th found Tingyun in the evening and asked her to lend Diting to her again.

The result was that Stelle was ready to wash up and go to bed.

She had even planned to meet Duke of Zhou in her dreams and discuss her views on trash cans when March 7th dragged her out forcefully.

"Why didn't we ask Uncle Yang? I want to sleep!"

"Uncle Yang is old, let's not make him stay up late."

"You know it's staying up late, do you remember what you said in the lower city of Belobog back then?"

Seeing March 7th's expression of feigned ignorance, Stelle mimicked March 7th's words from back then.

"No, I can't! I've never stayed up all night before? Do you know how bad staying up late is for your skin!"

But in the end, Stelle was still dragged out by March 7th.

"Huh? Diting isn't moving anymore. Did we find something?"

March 7th walked up to Diting, thinking she'd found a clue.

She saw Diting, as if seeking praise, lift the white stocking it held in its mouth a little higher.

After March 7th took it, she touched the silky smooth stocking, feeling its temperature, and couldn't help but blurt out.

"It's warm, and fresh."

Seeing March 7th pick up the white stocking and bring it towards her nose to sniff, Qing Que finally couldn't hold back.

"Stop it! You three perverts! I've already reported you to the Cloud-to-Guard, please cease your lewd actions!"

Chapter 76: A Mop Dipped in X, Even a Heavenly God Wouldn't Be This Amazing

Kiana heard Qing Que's shouts from outside and peeked her head out the window.

As soon as her little head appeared, from Kiana's perspective, she saw March 7th holding her freshly changed stocking, seemingly intending to appreciate it.

Kiana: ?

"Wait, what's going on? How did March 7th become a pervert in just two days!"

Pink hair, previously pulled out a pink sack, likes cute girls, and harbors ill intentions towards me!

I get it, you're Elysia!

Seeing Qing Que take out her phone and contact the Cloud-to-Guard, Kiana had initially planned to rescue her companion.

But...

"No, I'm not a pervert, I'm just looking for my friend. I want to know if there's any scent of my friend on this."

March 7th saying this was even worse.

It made Qing Que even more convinced that March 7th was a pervert.

Would a decent person use scent to find someone?

Even the Fox Clan, with their keen sense of smell, wouldn't distinguish people by scent.

Even Stelle took a few steps back, acting as if she didn't know this person.

Stelle even suspected if March 7th and Kiana had some kind of relationship she didn't know about, otherwise how could she know Kiana's scent so clearly?

Hearing March 7th's words, Kiana also chose to remain silent.

She gave up on stopping Qing Que.

With one last glance, Kiana closed the window.

Pretending nothing had happened, she knew nothing.

This was also to avoid too much awkwardness when she reunited with March 7th after recovering.

But...

When the Cloud-to-Guard arrived, they found the culprit had not left.

Even with Qing Que's testimony and the evidence still in March 7th's hands, The Cloud-to-Guard still needed to ask the victim for the truth.

When they knocked on Fu Xuan's door and saw little Kiana opening it, the Cloud-to-Guard soldiers were stunned for a moment, then looked at March 7th with some anger.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, I'm a colleague of the Supreme Diviner and Qing Que."

"We wanted to ask, is the stocking the pink-haired girl is holding the one you hung on the balcony to dry?"

Seeing Kiana nod, the Cloud-to-Guard soldiers had Qing Que take Kiana back inside; they didn't need the girls involved in what happened next.

As the door closed, the Cloud-to-Guard soldiers surrounded March 7th and Diting.

"Miss, please come with us."

But upon seeing Diting next to her, they exchanged glances and took out their phones, intending to contact their superiors.

They suspected that someone from the Craftsmanship Department was also involved.

At the Cloud-to-Guard's barracks, only a few on-duty personnel were present. An old man looked at the message from his subordinates on his phone.

This battle-hardened old general slammed his fist on the table.

"Old Li, why are you suddenly so angry?"

"Look for yourself."

The other person took the phone and, after seeing the message, also slammed the table.

"Damn it, there's something like this, and the Craftsmanship Department is involved? I've long disliked those old geezers who fiddle with parts all day."

"Exactly, and it's the Supreme Diviner's adopted child from the Divination Department, who might be the next, or the one after next, Supreme Diviner."

"Even if not, if my granddaughter's personal clothing was stolen."

"Damn it!"

The table was slammed again, ending its brief moment of peace.

Table: You guys hit me every day, is it fun? Now, I'm not playing with you anymore!

"Summon someone to notify all reachable Cloud-to-Guard members to assemble! We're going to the Craftsmanship Department to see what those guys have to say!"

General Jing Yuan Yuan of the Divination Department had already planned to rest, but upon hearing this news and knowing the Cloud-to-Guard intended to surround the Craftsmanship Department.

Jing Yuan Yuan was immediately filled with questions.

Even as the esteemed General of the Divination Department, known for her flawless strategies, she couldn't quite understand what had happened at this moment.

Why was the Cloud-to-Guard suddenly so furious?

Meanwhile, Sushang was just about to rest when she, as a newcomer to the Cloud-to-Guard, received an order from her superior.

"Huh?"

Unfortunately, Jing Yuan Yuan quickly ordered the matter to be suppressed.

"This is weird, isn't this Diting from the Craftsmanship Department? I remember Tingyun lending it out for the Trailblazers to investigate the Stellaron Hunters, right?"

"Why would it steal stockings in the middle of the night?"

Although she prevented the Cloud-to-Guard from surrounding the Craftsmanship Department, after this incident, Jing Yuan Yuan still decided to send someone to the Craftsmanship Department to investigate whether those people had added any strange new functions to Diting.

In a small room.

"Name."

"March 7th."

"Age."

"Hmm? Around 17 years old?"

"Around?"

"Yeah, I have amnesia."

"Never mind, gender."

"..."
