Ch 163: Hi Everyone, I’m Kiana
Furina sat in the carriage, happily humming a little tune while counting the gifts she had brought back for Neuvillette and the others.
“This water is for Neuvillette. I wonder if he’ll like this Other World water.”
Chlorinde, beside her, glanced at the portal that hadn’t been activated yet.
“Lady Furina, where should we put this portal?”
Hearing this, Furina stroked her chin thoughtfully.
“Let’s put it in my living room. Didn’t they say we should put it somewhere ordinary people can’t reach? My home is perfect, isn’t it?”
Furina thought that by putting it in her house, she could go to Ye Yun’s place whenever she wanted to play.
Chlorinde responded upon hearing this.
“I understand.”
Furina looked at the flower cakes she had bought earlier. “Hmm, there aren’t many left.”
“Chlorinde, let’s go buy some more flower cakes from that old woman later.”
Chlorinde nodded in agreement.
“Yes!”
Afterwards, Furina sat comfortably in the carriage, leaning against the car window, admiring the scenery.
The demons encountered along the way were instantly killed by the Lancelot Knights.
They arrived at Qingce Village safely. After emptying the old woman’s house of flower cakes again, Furina, along with Chlorinde and the Lancelot Knights, boarded a ship back to Fontaine.
Train, Ye Yun’s Shop.
The train crew gathered in Ye Yun’s shop.
Ye Yun took out the Otherworldly Guest Invitation.
“We’ll have new friends arriving soon.”
Xing, upon hearing this, curiously asked,
“New friends? From where? Luofu?”
Ye Yun shook the Otherworldly Guest Invitation in his hand.
“From another world. You’ll find out soon enough.”
After saying this,
Ye Yun tore up the Otherworldly Guest Invitation.
The next second, a portal appeared not far away.
After a while, a girl with white hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a tight-fitting battle suit, emerged from the portal.
“Wow~ Is this the place the voice mentioned? It’s certainly different.”
The newcomer was Kiana, the protagonist of the Honkai Star Rail world!
Kiana looked around, noticing Ye Yun and the others.
Kiana stood up straight, energetically introducing herself.
“Hello, my name is Kiana Kaslana! Nice to meet you all!”
Walther was speechless upon seeing Kiana.
“Kiana! How are you here?”
Kiana noticed Walther.
“Teacher Walther! What are you doing here? Didn’t that voice say another world? Could it have been lying to me?”
Kiana looked carefully at everyone.
“Aunt Jizi! What are you doing here too? You’re dressed so… um, what’s the word?”
Walther immediately facepalmed.
“Intellectual.”
Kiana clapped her hands upon hearing Walther’s reminder.
“Oh! Right, intellectual.”
March 7th and Xing looked at Walther.
“Uncle Yang, do you know each other?”
Walther nodded.
“Yes, we’re from the same place.”
Xing listened.
“Oh wow? Kiana is Uncle Yang’s fellow townsperson.”
Walther nodded noncommittally, but after carefully examining Kiana, he said,
“Sort of. We’re from two different parallel timelines. The Kiana I know is a very powerful Valkyrie.”
Upon hearing Walther’s words, Kiana’s face lit up.
“Teacher Walther, do you mean I’ll be very powerful in the future?”
Walther nodded slightly.
“Hmm.”
Kiana was overjoyed to receive this confirmation.
“Yay~ I knew it! I’ll definitely become Destiny’s Strongest Valkyrie!”
Ye Yun smiled and said to Walther,
“Walther, since she’s your fellow townsperson, please take the trouble to help Kiana get familiar with the shop.”
Walther agreed and took Kiana for a tour of the shop.
After the tour, Kiana understood her current situation.
The Aunt Jizi she just met wasn’t the same one she knew, only very similar in appearance.
Teacher Walther wasn’t the one she knew either; he was from the future.
Kiana said her head was spinning, and she couldn’t process it all at once.
Walther, seeing Kiana looking like she was about to faint, smiled slightly. “Still the same clumsy Kiana,” he thought.
Walther took out 200 Star Coins and handed them to Kiana.
“Here, Kiana, these are Star Coins. Take these 200 and experience the shopping process here.”
Kiana took the Star Coins, her eyes suddenly brightening.
“Okay!”
Kiana rushed towards the small bar; Walther had already explained how to buy things.
A few minutes later,
Walther looked at Kiana with a speechless expression.
Sure enough, Kiana was happily holding a bucket of “Super Invincible Luxurious Delicious Instant Noodles” purchased from the system.
“Instant noodles~ Instant noodles~ My favorite instant noodles~”
This bucket of instant noodles cost 20 Star Coins.
Kiana originally wanted to buy 10 buckets, but Walther stopped her, suggesting she save some for other things.
Xiangling, noticing Kiana with the instant noodles, said,
“Kiana, right? I’m Xiangling, the shop’s cook.”
Kiana nodded.
“Yep yep, hello.”
Xiangling pointed to the Super Invincible Luxurious Delicious Instant Noodles in Kiana’s hand.
“Would you like me to cook it for you? Instant noodles taste better cooked, and I can add some ingredients.”
Kiana immediately agreed.
“Okay! Thank you, Xiangling.”
Xiangling smiled and shook her head.
“You’re welcome. Wait a moment; I’ll go cook it for you.” Xiangling took the instant noodles from Kiana and went into the kitchen.
Then, Kiana chatted with everyone while waiting for the noodles.
During this time, Kiana got to know everyone present.
Everyone also learned about Kiana’s world from her.
Kiana quickly bonded with Xing, March 7th, and Lumine, as their ages and personalities were similar, making it easy for them to get along.
Kiana, hearing Xing’s story about her recent experiences, was very envious.
“Wow~ Your experiences are so exciting!”
Xing patted Kiana’s shoulder.
“It’s okay, we’ll be going to the next stop tomorrow; we’ll go play together then.”
Kiana readily agreed.
“Okay!”
Soon, Xiangling cooked the noodles and put them in a large bowl in front of Kiana.
“Here, try it, Kiana.”
Kiana inhaled the aroma, a happy smile on her face.
“It smells so good~ Oh my god~ I can’t take it!”
Kiana picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of noodles.
The moment the noodles entered her mouth, Kiana froze.
After a while,
“These noodles are so delicious! The best I’ve ever had! Xiangling, your cooking is amazing!”
Xiangling scratched the back of her head.
“I’m glad you like it. Eat quickly, it won’t taste as good once it gets cold.”
Kiana nodded vigorously and happily slurped the noodles, making satisfied “mmm” sounds while eating.
