The Stars and Moon Within and Without. / I Hope You'll Act Like a Normal Person

Our conversation on the Stellaris Train last time...

That Remembrance was indeed not very clear. After a moment of recollection, Yomi recalled the topic they had discussed that day.

Welt's homeland... Honkai...

The Herrscher of Finality... The Herrscher of Origin...

Yomi hadn't paid much attention to what Welt said at first, but now the 'compatibility' that Belobog and Kiana mentioned was right in front of him.

She had to take it seriously.

Thinking of a certain possibility, Yomi looked at Kiana and asked, "If we could go to the world where Mr. Welt is, do you think that world meets the criteria for Honkai Mr. Welt?"

"That place... it should work, right?"

Although it's all over, Honkai Impact 3rd definitely meets the standards of this system.

How similar?

"...98%? 99%?"

Kiana isn't entirely sure, but she's certain that Honkai Impact 3rd is the most fitting world in the Aokigahara universe.

Yomi tightened his grip on her hand slightly and asked, "And what about Izumo?"

"If I remember correctly, it should be around 87%..."

"I see."

Yomi seemed to genuinely just want to ask a question, and after receiving the answer, she simply nodded indifferently. Kiana's answer confirmed some of her suspicions.

Chapter 116: The This Shore, Another Shore.

[World 'Jarilo -VI' detected, in process of binding]

[Match detection in progress...]

[Note: This world has a Honkai affinity of 32.5%. For every 1% growth you gain, the Honkai Energy Concentration (world) will automatically increase by 0.325%.]

[You have received Gift of Honkai, increasing the Finality Process by 5% and granting one free draw.]

[You have obtained the outfit 'My This Shore, Another Shore']

How many?

Kiana's face lit up with surprise. The compatibility of this world was only 32.5%, which meant that even if she maxed out the process of the Finality Transformation herself, Jarilo's Honkai Energy Concentration would only rise to 32.5%.

After Ruan Mei had made all the preparations, Kiana, at Ruan Mei's request, brought the planet into the Honkai's orbit before her very eyes.

Name: Kiana.

Faction: [Honkai]

Talent: The Power of the End, the Void Traveler.

Skills: Phase Shift (Void), Power of the Saintess, Abyss Gaze...

Finality Process: 55%

Honkai Energy Concentration: Izumo (MAX), Jarilo -VI (17.875%)

In conclusion: You are on the right path. Use this power wisely, and when given the opportunity to make a choice, don't let yourself regret it.

The panel displaying her own status has also changed; the Honkai Energy Concentration section is no longer exclusive to Izumo.

What Kiana cared about most was the 'Summary' section, where the text had changed once again.

"When you have the opportunity to make a choice, don't let yourself regret it."

Kiana was somewhat confused.

The text looked different every time she read it, and Kiana kept it in mind but didn't pay much attention to it.

Consider this a hint.

In the makeshift laboratory set up by Ruan Mei, Kiana finally turned her attention to the reward.

After confirming that he hadn't misread it, a slight ripple appeared in his eyes. The last time he bound himself to Izumo, the system reward he received was Phase Shift, and this spatial ability has been very useful ever since.

No skills will be given this time.

Provide the equipment directly.

Still...

"It's actually the This Shore, Another Shore?"

The image of the lovebirds, the This Shore, Another Shore, left a deep impression on her.

The improvement effect brought by equipment is negligible. After a certain threshold is reached, the enhancement effect of equipment produced by the system is limited.

Kiana thought that neither the This Shore, Another Shore could help her break through this critical point. She realized that if she wanted to break through this critical point, she could only hope to push the progress bar to 100%.

She was more concerned with the meaning behind the dress.

Moreover, she had never actually tried on any clothing or accessories herself before. She never expected that the first time she'd give This Shore, Another Shore, would be as an example.

Looking at that familiar piece of clothing.

Kiana was somewhat tempted.

"Give it a try."

This thought echoed in my mind.

The moment she had that thought, the This Shore, Another Shore transformed into a beam of white light and landed on her, radiating a dazzling white glow.

Yomi, who was outside the laboratory, couldn't sit still any longer.

Her gaze sharpened as she looked out the window, then she turned and walked towards the doorway.

"Wait a minute."

Ruan Mei was also slightly surprised, but she didn't think it was dangerous, so she stopped Yomi's actions.

"I only detected the energy of Honkai; nothing else was detected."

"Wait a minute? Don't you think it will be too late by the time something actually happens?"

Although Yomi stopped, his expression was displeased, and he looked at Ruan Mei, who seemed to have nothing but experiments in her eyes, with hostility.

I believe in Kiana.

"I believe her, but that doesn't stop me from worrying about her condition!"

Yomi truly couldn't understand why Kiana would have feelings for someone like that.

Ruan Mei also didn't understand.

If you trust Kiana, why bother worrying unnecessarily? Isn't that pointless worrying?

Ruan Mei stared at Yomi, not allowing her to enter the laboratory at this time, because of Kiana's recent changes, she believed the monitoring was not yet over.

Fortunately, the accident in the laboratory did not last long; in just a breath or two, the dazzling white light inside disappeared completely.

When the white light disappeared, Kiana changed her appearance; to be precise, she changed into an outfit never seen before.

The three colors on her body formed a white dress and accessories that matched her perfectly, making her look pure, beautiful, and as if no word to describe beauty could be too much for her.

Inside the lab, Kiana looked down at her hands, now clad in long white gloves, and at the changes in her body; her mind went blank for a moment.

Equipment and clothing even have special effects?

Transformation?

Kiana?

Before she could think any further, the laboratory door opened, and Yomi stepped inside first.

"Mei!"

Upon seeing Yomi, Kiana immediately abandoned any thoughts of transformation and excitedly went over to hug her.

"It's already successful, and the compatibility between this world and the Honkai is not high, only 32.5%. Even if I Herrscherization here, the impact on this world won't be too profound."

Yomi, who was being held, carefully examined her, not missing any detail that might be a disguise.

He was worried that Kiana wouldn't want him to worry, so he deliberately concealed some of his situation.

After all, she has this kind of criminal record.

Feeling a little embarrassed by Yomi's gaze, Kiana blinked and looked away. "Mei, why are you staring at me?"

"This outfit..."

"This one?"

Kiana perked up and said, "Like swords and other weapons, it's a type of equipment. I just got it. What do you think? Isn't it nice?"

She seemed to be in a good mood, smiling as she said, "Mei likes it, I can give it to you."

Give the clothes to yourself?

Yomi fell silent, listening to Kiana's words with a strange look in his eyes.

Even given their relationship, the act of donating clothes still seems a bit...

But she was actually a little tempted.

"It suits you perfectly, so there's no need to give it away. I'd much rather you wear it."

"Is it suitable for me?"

Kiana looked down at her dress, which still didn't fully reveal her body, and said stubbornly, "It would suit Mei very well too."

Wait, will this be suitable?

After saying that, Kiana suddenly remembered something: the person in front of her was Mei, who had grown into a mature woman, not the young Mei.

Perhaps because she had been asleep, she hadn't changed much, but the difference between Mei and the past was obvious to the naked eye.

Both in terms of appearance and temperament.

That's true for all of them.

So, would Mei This Shore, Another Shore suit Mei? What would This Shore, Another Shore look like if she wore it?

Kiana was somewhat curious.

"This color doesn't suit me, and I'm way past that age."

Yomi gently stroked her soft white hair and said, "But you're different. This outfit... suits you very well, it's beautiful."

Chapter 117 I hope you can be like a normal person.

"ARuan, have you found anything?"

Kiana wasn't discouraged by her failure to persuade Yomi. After all, there was still plenty of time, and she had plenty of ways to get Yomi to wear it for her.

If all else fails, I'll just have to plead and beg.

She understood Yomi and knew that she couldn't hold out for long with Yomi persistent pleading.

"We've discovered... a little bit."

Ruan Mei glanced up at Kiana as she walked out of the laboratory, and was slightly surprised when she saw her changed appearance.

Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse.

She was indeed a little surprised when she first saw Kiana dressed like this, but only slightly.

It's mostly about novelty.

The flash of white light just now... was that Kiana changing clothes?

Is this power still disguised?

Interesting.

"Just now, machines placed in other locations detected varying degrees of Honkai energy reactions."
