A Person in Izumo, Making Honkai Great Again

Thinking about the firearms that would have their ammo refreshed tomorrow, and the myriad of unpredictable weapons in the system.

Kiana hesitated.

After the end of Honkai 2 and Honkai, the second part immediately retaliated with an internal human war.

"Even if it's serious... it shouldn't be this rushed," Mei frowned, gripping Kiana's hand. "There are many things I think we need to understand after meeting the Blade Masters before we can decide."

"I'm not slandering, nor am I distrusting, it's just..." Mei paused for a moment, sighing, "It's never wrong to be cautious."

The Thunder Calamity brought by Takemikazuchi looked terrifying, but after killing Takemikazuchi and forging it into the Resonating Blade, the all-encompassing thunderclouds lost their cohesion and began to slowly dissipate.

The long-lost dim light fell upon the city, signaling to everyone that the disaster had temporarily passed.

Takemikazuchi was terrifying.

The impact of the Thunder Calamity was not small either.

But Mei didn't believe it was a world-ending disaster, so she didn't equate the disaster with world destruction when considering it.

After all, she had only been in contact with Oni Gods for three days and, with the help of Sirin and Kiana, had already slain one of the most powerful Twelve Oni Gods.

Rather than the world being destroyed by Oni Gods, she was more worried about Kiana and the Honkai that Kiana was worried about.

"I don't understand these things."

Kiana's little brain whirred, and she pulled Mei, looking at her expectantly, "Mei, can you help me?"

"Huh?"

"Mei, help me."

She tugged on Mei's hand, instinctively acting spoiled, "I don't understand any of this. From now on, can you handle these things for me, Mei?"

"Me?"

"Yes!" Kiana nodded, "Just like just now, it was super cool!"

The crisis was temporarily resolved, and the impact of the increased Honkai energy was not yet visible. Kiana resumed her initial strategy of wooing Mei.

"Just like just now..." She didn't feel cool at all, only thinking that she couldn't let Kiana tell Sirin everything.

Still unable to get used to such things, Mei shyly focused her attention on the way back.

"...It's possible too."

Mei's mind felt a little hot, but she still rationally considered Kiana's suggestion.

"Leave the communication with the Blade Masters to me. Kiana, you can just add some unimportant remarks appropriately."

"I have something I want to discuss with you right now, Mei!" Kiana tugged at her, drawing Mei's attention back to herself.

"The Honkai? Or Sirin?"

"Neither, but it's a bit related."

Sirin said her comrades should be arriving soon. She had originally intended to have them wait together, especially since the Resonating Blade was now in Raiden Mei's hands.

But then she thought of the Honkai that Kiana mentioned.

She felt it would be better not to let Kiana meet her people yet. It would be more appropriate for her to discuss the abnormality of Takemikazuchi with the others first.

After all, everything said would eventually need to be verified.

It might as well be after they verified it that she would bring up the Honkai that Kiana mentioned.

As for the Resonating Blade...

Recruitment wasn't her business.

So Sirin let them return to the shrine first, staying put to await her belated reinforcements.

"It's about the equipment sales."

Feeling that she shouldn't have released weapons for sale, Kiana also wanted to hear Raiden Mei's opinion.

"By recycling this crystal, I can obtain some useful equipment. Swords are just one category; I actually have individual rockets, pistols, shotguns, sprays, landmines, and so on."

There were quite a few weapon categories.

As long as she could sacrifice enough Oni Gods, wouldn't Kiana be a mobile arsenal?

Mei's eyes shifted slightly.

"Don't tell anyone else about this information."

Although the possibility was very small, as long as Kiana wanted to, she could raise an fully armed army at any time.

Regardless of Kiana's original intentions, others would label Kiana as a 'dangerous element'.

Kiana nodded and continued, "Didn't I give you a healing potion before? The weapons I get by recycling energy crystals have ammo limitations, but this ammo refreshes the next day."

An infinite ammo arsenal!

Mei's breathing quickened. She stared at Kiana in astonishment, wondering how likely it was that she had misheard.

Infinite armaments.

Weapons whose ammo could be replenished the next day after being depleted – what kind of horror story was this?

"Because the Honkai is omnipotent."

Noticing Mei's gaze was a little off, Kiana assumed she was pondering how ammunition could unscientifically replenish itself.

Everything unscientific.

Attributing it to the Honkai made perfect sense.

Because the Honkai is omnipotent.

"Infinite ammo?"

Mei's voice trembled slightly.

If Kiana were to acquire a large batch of these weapons and distribute them, Mei couldn't even imagine what kind of scorched earth Izumo would become in the future.

"...Something like that?"

Ignoring the mechanism where it had to wait for a refresh after a full magazine, the weapons she redeemed were indeed infinite ammo.

Perhaps they restored ammo using Honkai energy.

Kiana guessed unscientifically.

"They can't be sold!"

The appearance of weapons with large-scale infinite firepower would inevitably plunge Izumo into an unprecedented civil war.

She couldn't recall all the items sold, and without restrictions, it would become a more terrifying nightmare than the Oni Gods.

"Just sell some swords to them. Those you just mentioned, no, all weapons that can refresh ammo, cannot be sold!"

If Kiana accidentally became Izumo's biggest arms dealer...

Raiden Mei felt her vision go black.

This absolutely couldn't happen!

Human greed is endless. Like her, even though she was already Kiana's best friend, she still craved more.

Hoping their relationship could become even more unbreakable.

Chapter 53: A New Function That's More Trouble Than It's Worth

She felt things weren't that dire.

While the Oni Gods were difficult to kill and very dangerous, they hadn't reached the point of turning Kiana into an arms dealer.

"All of them?"

"Yes, all of them!"

Mei's tone was firm.

This kind of Pandora's Box shouldn't be opened in the first place. Weapons that could bring destruction with just a pull of the trigger could be used by anyone.

She didn't want Kiana to bear infamy either.

Just like Kiana told her, she didn't want her sacrifice to earn others' trust...

"Not even healing potions?"

Weapons were difficult to control, and once they fell into the hands of those with ill intentions, they could spiral out of control, even becoming a trigger in certain situations.

But potions were different, weren't they?

One killed, the other healed and saved lives.

"Is it like the one you smashed next to Sirin?" Mei asked hesitantly.

The two were indeed different.

But with infinite things, one couldn't be too careful, especially since Kiana wasn't from Izumo.

"Yes, that one. There are other styles too, like spray forms, and they're very cheap. You can buy a bottle just by killing the weakest Oni God."

Mei: "..."

So cheap?

Mei paused and asked uncertainly, "Are other weapons, and this sword, like that too?"

"After all, I can't afford the expensive ones."

Equipment that was cheap and could refresh infinitely.

What kind of natural disaster was this?

Mei hesitated to speak. She didn't want Kiana to take risks, but this was something that could heal and save people.

She had seen its healing effects, looking at Sirin was enough to see how effective it was. If they freely used the potions, perhaps many people who could have lived would be saved.

But selling them...

The cost was only one crystal.

Mei fell silent for a long time, struggling internally. Finally, she looked at Kiana seriously and offered her suggestion.

"They can't be sold."

Kiana blinked, then nodded.

She knew what Mei was worried about: unlimited ammunition, medkits that refreshed daily, and once sold, they would be out of her control.

And who knew if...

"But you can rent them out."

The situation took a turn.

"Eh? Eh?!"

Kiana looked at Mei in surprise.

"Anyone who can dedicate their lives to slaying Oni Gods is a remarkable hero," Mei said, full of admiration for such people.

She also thought of her own father.

"...But Kiana is also important."

"The ownership of the items cannot be sold, at least not openly, but the healing potions can be rented out to others."

"Rent?"

"Yes, rent," Mei nodded and said, "It's best to recall them after a certain period and tell others to replenish the energy for the potions, like charging them."

"Renting out healing potions?"

"It's almost impossible to put a price on things related to life. Selling them too cheaply would cause the healing potions to flood the market rapidly, and everyone would know that what Kiana provides is special."

All of Mei's thoughts were based on the assumption that Izumo was currently stable and wouldn't fall into chaos.

"Selling them too expensively..."

Kiana probably wouldn't be able to get past it herself. Looking at Kiana's reaction when she saw Sirin, Kiana really didn't dare to earn exorbitant prices for healing.

"So I think the best method is to rent them out," Mei said. "They have an organization behind them. You can cooperate with them later, or even use the potions to build a new medical department."
