Kaslana's Way of Survival in Honkai

Kaino regretted coming to the beach.

"Indeed... it's hot."

Seele, being less covered up, was doing slightly better than Kaino, but not by much.

Sweat trickled down her skin, wetting her face and making it glisten in the sunlight.

"Seele, how are you doing? Should we switch?"

Red-eyed Seele looked at Seele with concern, then glared at Kaino with resentment:

"This is the place you picked? This?"

"Seele, don't be like that..."

Seele quietly dissuaded her.

"Hey, idiot Seele, I'm speaking up for you here. You're the one who's hot, not me. To put it bluntly, even the Sea of Quanta isn't as hot as this."

Kaino conjured a fan and fanned himself: "Then should we go back?"

Red-eyed Seele fell silent.

That kind of empty and lonely place, where you can't even hear the echo of your own voice, is fine for an hour or two, but any longer and it's practically a prison.

The Seeles, who had stayed there for a year, absolutely didn't want to go back.

"Okay, I think there's a swimsuit shop ahead... let's go there and buy a swimsuit, and then buy a parasol, that should be much better."

Unlike small items like fans, conjuring parasols or swimsuits directly would be too conspicuous.

The passersby aren't all blind.

Kaino conjured a small fan for Seele as well and quickened his pace.

"And then we'll look for an ice cream shop or a cold drink shop nearby... wouldn't that be much better!"

Seele perked up at the suggestion, but quickly became dejected again.

"But we don't have any money from this world... Seele didn't bring any money with her before coming here."

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Kaino patted his chest and gave a thumbs up.

He was different now from how he was back in Shenzhou when the merchant caravans ignored it/its countless times!

He was the first to step into the store, and a blast of cool air swept over him, instantly dispelling all the heat.

An expression of enjoyment appeared on Kaino's face.

It had been so long since he had been in a modern city that he had almost forgotten about air conditioning.

"Welcome."

The owner of the store was a woman with short brown hair, and the beauty mark under the corner of her right eye made her look very charming.

She smiled politely at Kaino and gently pointed to Seele behind Kaino.

"If you don't want to buy anything, please step aside. There's another customer behind you."

"Um, we're together."

Before Kaino could turn around, Seele's voice came from behind.

"Is that so? I see."

The smile on the owner's face widened, and her eyes narrowed like crescents.

"Are you two..."

Before she could finish speaking, the owner stopped and her face went blank.

Kaino held a red and white feather in its hand and waved it gently in front of the woman's eyes.

"Eh? Kaino, you..."

Seele's eyes widened in disbelief, and she took a barely perceptible step back.

Although she didn't know what the feather was, she could still understand what Kaino was doing.

"Hey? What are you doing? What is that feather?"

Red-eyed Seele, on the other hand, was fearless. She circled Kaino a few times, staring at the feather with shining eyes.

Who knows what she was thinking.

"I'm not going to do anything bad... it's just more convenient this way."

Kaino slipped behind the counter and started rummaging for change.

It wanted a sample to replicate, after all, it didn't even know what the currency of this world looked like, so there was no way it could replicate it.

Fortunately, Fu Hua gave it the Feather of the Underworld, otherwise, it would have been a bit troublesome.

"Kaino, stealing is wrong."

Seeing Kaino's actions, Seele mustered her courage and suggested to Kaino:

"If we don't have money, we... we can go work at a store for a bit first. There's no need for this."

"Silly Seele, we're just visitors in this world anyway. What's wrong with taking a little?"

Red-eyed Seele held a different view.

"We came here to have fun. Why should we work to earn money? Besides, we're taking the money right in front of the owner, with our own hands. How can that be called stealing?"

"But..."

Seele still looked troubled, and the other Seele's words failed to sway her.

"No, what are you thinking? How could I possibly steal money?"

After analyzing all the bills, Kaino emerged from behind the counter.

"Huh? Not stealing money?"

Seele still couldn't quite believe it.

After all, Kaino's previous actions looked suspicious no matter how you looked at it.

Kaino didn't explain, but just shrugged, lightly snapped his fingers, and opened his right hand.

A series of the largest denomination bills they had seen before appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"Eh?!"

Seele was shocked.

"Kaino, can you conjure money too?!"

"Just a little magic trick."

Without explaining the Herrscher of Reason's abilities in detail, Kaino woke the owner from Feather of the Underworld's control, and then placed the stack of money on the counter.

The owner, who had just been awakened, was clearly still a little dazed, and was even more at a loss when he saw the stack of bills Kaino had placed there.

"Two... no, three swimsuits."

Kaino said, pointing to Seele, "Please pick out two for her—preferably with some color differences."

"You're going to buy me one too?"

Red-eyed Seele raised an eyebrow and floated over to Kaino's side:

"Forget it. Even if you buy it for me, I can't wear it."

"Don't worry, I have a way."

The owner looked at the bills on the table, then at Kaino, who was talking to himself, and hesitated before saying:

"Sir, I'm sorry, but we don't accept ghost money here."

Kaino: ?

"Hahahahahahaha!"

Red-eyed Seele floated beside Kaino, clutching her stomach and laughing wildly.

Kaino had already changed into his swimsuit.

Plain black knee-length swim trunks, a light black sun-protective jacket, and sunglasses made Kaino's already handsome face even more dashing.

But he was covering his face, so you couldn't see it.

"Ghost money, haha, ghost money."

"Okay, Seele, Kaino... he didn't mean for that to happen."

Seele had already changed into the swimsuit she had just bought.

The swimsuit, like her previous clothes, was mainly blue, and its shape was similar to a traditional school swimsuit, outlining Seele's figure.

Of course, the rather shy Seele also added a layer of translucent skirt, her legs faintly visible beneath it. What was more noticeable was that she had an octopus ornament wrapping around her thigh on her left leg.

She also had a blue rabbit ear accessory on her head.

Although it was said to be a swimsuit, it was actually more substantial than Seele's original clothes.

But it was still very cute.

Seele looked at Kaino, who had a lifeless expression, and couldn't help but say:

"Kaino, it's okay. Didn't you find real money later and give it to the owner?"

"But he still looked at me strangely!"

Kaino covered his face. Although Feather of the Underworld could erase memories, he wasn't going to use Feather of the Underworld just for something like this.

"Alright, alright, I won't laugh at you anymore."

Red-eyed Seele had laughed enough, and patted Kaino's shoulder:

"So, how are you going to let me wear a swimsuit too?"

The swimsuit she chose was the same style as blue-eyed Seele's, but the blue parts were replaced with red. She was holding it in her hand at the moment.

It matched her hair and eye color very well.

Kaino sighed, tossing the swimsuit in his hand into the Imaginary Space, as a Feather of the Underworld flickered slightly.

After all, Seele was just a consciousness. Using the Feather of the Underworld to change her clothes couldn't be easier.

"Eh? It really works?!"

Seele, now wearing a red swimsuit, looked at the clothes on her body in disbelief.

"Yeah, and it's not just changing clothes. Later, after we buy ice cream and cold drinks, you can taste them too."

Halfway through speaking, Kaino suddenly stopped.

"Brother Kaino, what's wrong?"

Seele, who was following behind Kaino, was puzzled by his sudden stop. She leaned out from behind Kaino to look ahead.

Then she also froze.

A Knight-class Honkai Beast was nestled not far ahead, lazily sleeping.

Chapter 50 Taming Master Challenge

The previously lively atmosphere instantly became very stiff.

A Knight-class Honkai Beast.

In fact, Knight-class Honkai Beasts weren't rare. Seele and them might not have encountered one while living in the orphanage all these years, but Kaino and the priest had encountered quite a few when they went out to clear Honkai Beasts.

Although this kind of Honkai Beast was much stronger than ordinary people, its raw strength was just so-so. Even Kaino could easily kill a large group of them now, not to mention he had Seele by his side.

But...

"Why isn't it attacking the people around it?"

Kaino, who had already taken out Judgement of Shamash, was very puzzled:

"And do Honkai Beasts even sleep?"

In Kaino's mind, Honkai Beasts should be killing machines spawned by Honkai, that would frantically attack humans, and wouldn't have behaviors like resting.
