The Captain Just Wants to Go Home and Play Games

"That—"

Kiana shouted, her face flushed:

"Forgetting once in a while, isn't that normal? Anyone can do it!"

"In short, my socks don't smell at all!"

With that, she handed them to Sirin beside her and said:

"Um..."

It was only then that Kiana remembered she didn't know the other person's name.

"Other me, tell them, do my socks really smell or not!"

As my substitute, you should at least be on the same side as me!

Kiana held out the socks in one hand, her eyes blinking rapidly at Sirin, prompting her.

Sirin: "..."

Damn Aqua!

"No, get lost!"

With that, Honkai Energy shot out from a black hole in an imaginary space, burning the socks in Kiana's hand to nothingness.

PS: Kiana: Can a girl's socks be called smelly socks? They're called original socks with Kiana's scent!

Chapter 36: Someone So Cute Must Not Be a Bad Person!

"What are you doing?!"

Kiana was startled by Sirin suddenly burning her socks. She was stunned at first, then got angry and shouted, "I only have one sock left, do you want me to throw it away or keep using it? Do you know how hard life is!"

Sirin: "..."

What kind of weirdo is her host?

Sirin glanced at the silver-haired, twin-tailed girl who had come into contact with the red mist and quietly walked over to that man. She didn't look like she wanted to fight. Moreover, there was that man whom even she had initially overlooked, and who was now exuding a mystery that even she couldn't fathom. She knew there was no need to fight anymore.

After all, even without fighting, maintaining her energy form consumed a huge amount of Honkai Energy every second. There was naturally no need for her to stay any longer.

"Hmph, you stingy old hag—"

With that, she turned into a mist and vanished.

Being called that by Sirin, Kiana became angry and embarrassed, her face red as she retorted, "If you have the guts to touch my socks, don't run away!"

"You..."

Well, Kiana remembered again that she still didn't know the other person's name, or rather, what she was.

After thinking for a while, she said with sudden inspiration:

"You pufferfish lady!!"

Mo Yi, who knew the general situation, couldn't tell Kiana. After all, Sirin was dormant inside Kiana, and in a way, she was another Kiana.

The other party seemed to have the ability to not only take over Kiana's physical body for Honkai manifestation but also to appear out of thin air as an energy body. If he exposed her, she might know immediately and, in a fit of rage, backstab Mo Yi when he wasn't prepared by saying 'you know too much.' Wouldn't that be unfair to Mo Yi?

Moreover, Kiana and Sirin's relationship was on a genetic promise level. It could be said that every cell of Kiana bore Sirin's imprint. It wasn't like the usual possession where energy, a part of the physical body, or consciousness was sealed within another person. Mo Yi still couldn't find a way to separate Sirin and Kiana.

Until he found a solution, it seemed best not to provoke or stimulate the other party.

"Alright, alright, Kiana, stop dwelling on the sock issue—"

Seeing that the most dangerous person on the scene, the temporary teammate Sirin who might suddenly shoot him, had disappeared, Mo Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He teased Kiana, "Why didn't you keep that sock? Later, when another sock gets torn, you can make a pair."

"Of course, you could also go buy a sock to make a pair."

"Oh—"

Kiana suddenly realized what he meant and exclaimed:

"Mo Yi, you're so smart, you think of everything."

Mo Yi: "..."

Why don't I feel happy at all when Kiana praises me like this? Do you really not understand that I'm teasing you?!

Not wanting to discuss her sock issue with Kiana anymore, Mo Yi turned to look at Theresa and Kiana, who had walked over to him, and asked, "How did you two end up fighting?"

The more Kiana saw that Theresa didn't seem to be attacking Mo Yi and instead looked like she knew him, the bolder she became. She quickly complained to Mo Yi, "When I was going home tonight, I suddenly found her following me. When I discovered her, she attacked me!"

"That's not how it happened, big brother—"

Theresa, who had been looking for an opportunity to speak, glared at Kiana angrily and wronged. If you slander me again, I'll take out my big axe and chop you.

"Hmm—"

Mo Yi looked at Theresa beside him. He really couldn't imagine her being like Kiana described.

That's right, this was one of the advantages of being cute: it subconsciously made people feel—someone so cute must not be a bad person!

"Little sister, long time no see—"

"My name is Mo Yi, but you can call me brother too."

"My name is Theresa. Brother Mo Yi—"

After hearing Mo Yi introduce himself, Theresa remembered she should do the same, then explained, "I only tracked her after I caught a scent from the delivery sister."

"The delivery sister attacked me first, so Theresa fought back."

Kiana: "……"

"No, I didn't—"

Kiana thought back and realized she had indeed fired the first shot. The other party had only been following her initially.

"Who asked you to follow me? Anyone would think you were up to no good. You couldn't even speak clearly, I thought you were trying to cause trouble for Mo Yi, I never would have guessed you were here about him!"

From the two of them talking, Mo Yi was able to piece together what happened tonight.
