Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

As the sun rose higher and the night deepened, Kiana, who had a bad sleeping posture, clung to Jiuxiao like a koala. Jiuxiao, whose sleeping posture was also not good, also clung to Kiana. Then it was a matter of whoever woke up first and the other would suffer.

Unfortunately, Jiu Xiao woke up first. He glanced at Kiana, then at his own hands and feet. Jiu Xiao quietly withdrew them, then slipped out of bed and slipped away.

As soon as Jiuxiao stepped out the door, Kiana opened her eyes and stretched. (Such a slender waist, so tempting! I want to lick it!)

Kiana had woken up earlier, but feeling that she was holding Jiuxiao, she didn't dare to wake up. She stayed still until Jiuxiao woke up and left before she dared to move.

In the early morning, neither of them said anything. After washing up, they picked up their packed luggage and prepared to go find Siegfried.

Without a destination, Kiana followed the main road, going wherever the road took her. She found every village and town she encountered fascinating and delighted, wandering around aimlessly. Finally, after failing to find any trace of Siegfried, she resumed her journey.

Since they had no destination in mind, they hadn't prepared a map. Jiuxiao was initially worried that neither he nor Kiana had any money, and was considering taking her somewhere to work and earn some travel expenses.

Upon hearing the word "money," Kiana pulled a black card from her backpack.

"This is a card my dad left me. He said that with this card, I wouldn't have to worry about not having money. I could just swipe this when I needed to pay."

"Oh? How much money is in here? I wonder how long it will last us."

"What do you mean how much? I just remember Dad saying there's no limit and you can swipe it as much as you want. This is the Kaslana family patriarch's exclusive black card. Hehehe, my stinky dad is the patriarch of the Kaslana family, and I'm a young lady."

Jiu Xiao immediately knelt before Kiana, then held the black card like a precious treasure; from now on, this thing was his father. Who could refuse a black card with unlimited credit and no repayments?

Siberia is vast; Jiu Xiao and Kiana walked all day and only encountered three inhabited places. It was already eight or nine o'clock at night when they finally arrived at another village. The good news was that there was a commercial street here; the bad news was that most of the shops were closed.

Jiuxiao excitedly dragged Kiana around looking for hotels to stay in. Fortunately, most hotels nowadays don't require ID cards or anything like that, otherwise Kiana and Jiuxiao, being unregistered residents, would have been in trouble.

"Sister, give me two standard rooms," Jiu Xiao said to the bartender with a grin, holding Kiana's hand.

The receptionist looked at Jiuxiao and Qiyana and asked.

"Sisters? How old are they? Where are their parents?"

"Um...they're siblings. I'm the older brother, I'm 15 this year, and she's 12. Our parents are out there, they're sleeping in the car, so they sent us to stay at a hotel."

"The little brother is so handsome, and his voice is so sweet that I mistook him for someone else. How about this, I'll book you a double room, that way we can save a lot of money."

"Okay, thank you sister."

"By the way, sister, is there anywhere to eat around here? We saw that many shops were closed when we came."

"Our hotel also offers catering services. There are menus in the rooms. You can call the front desk using the phone next to the bedside table to order directly."

"Okay, thank you sister."

"You have such a sweet tongue. Here's your room number. Go upstairs from over there."

"Well, goodbye sister."

"Goodbye."

After saying that, Jiu Xiao pulled Kiana away. Kiana looked at the two of them, both beaming with smiles, and felt it was truly amazing. They were telling complete lies, yet the receptionist seemed so happy. However, before coming in, Jiu Xiao had told her to leave everything to him and not to say a word.

Once inside the room, Kiana didn't even take off her backpack before collapsing onto the large bed and burying her face deep in the blankets.

"Mmm, Jiuxiao, this is so soft and comfortable, but the taste is a bit strange."

"It's probably the smell of disinfectant, or maybe it's been sitting out for too long without being changed. I'll just put on my pajamas and make do with this. I'm going to take a shower first."

Chapter 12 Kiana - Gluttony

Kiana picked up the notices on the table, which contained the menu the receptionist had mentioned. There were many dishes on it, but she didn't recognize any of them except for rice and noodle soup, so she simply called and ordered one of everything.

When Jiuxiao finished showering and came out, Kiana was just asking the waiter to pay by card. The waiter took out a card reader from under the table, asked Kiana to insert her card and enter her PIN, and Kiana swiped her card and said she didn't have a PIN.

After paying, the waiter placed the dishes on the table one by one. The variety of dishes immediately captivated Kiana, who had only ever eaten Siegfried's charcoal and various breads.

After seeing the waiter off, Jiu Xiao turned around and found that a quarter of the food that had been on the table was gone. Kiana picked up the plate and started shoveling food into her mouth, exhaling sharply after each plate, then continuing to pour out the next plate.

"Eat slowly, there are only two of us, no one will take it from you." Jiu Xiao unscrewed a bottle of mineral water from the side and handed it to Kiana.

"Nee-bu-dong, oh-hai-si-yi-chi-na-mo-dai-hao-chi-de." Kiana's mouth was stuffed full, and she couldn't speak clearly. Her cheeks were bulging from eating, making her look exactly like a little white hamster.

Jiuxiao took a steak and a pork knuckle from the middle, leaving the rest to Kiana. Anyway, there was no need to worry about Kaslana getting an upset stomach.

Kiana's wild eating habits unknowingly influenced Jiuxiao. Unable to use a knife and fork, he got annoyed by the pork knuckle and simply grabbed it and started gnawing on it, eating with great relish, one hand on the pork knuckle and the other on the steak.

Kiana had barely taken a few bites when she finished all the food on the table, then stared longingly at him. Jiuxiao hesitated for a moment, looking at the half-eaten pork knuckle in his hand, before handing it to Kiana.

Kiana pushed the pork knuckle back with a look of disgust, her face covered in crumbs, and said with a smile.

"I'm not full, let me order another one."

"?"

Jiuxiao stared in disbelief at the twenty-odd plates on the table, then at Kiana's flat stomach. "Damn Honkai Beast, you can at least puff up your stomach! You digested all this ordinary food in no time at all!"

"What kind of look is that?! I'm not full, that's all... What's so shocking about that..." Kiana looked aggrieved, then picked up the menu and placed it next to Jiuxiao, then pointed to the several bowls of dishes on the table that had been deliberately left uneaten. "I just ate a few dishes that I really liked, but I don't know what they're called. Do you know them? Could you order a few more for me?"

"Let me see, fried whole chicken, fried chicken legs, braised lion's head meatballs, poached chicken..." Jiu Xiao compared them one by one and then called out the names of the dishes. Kiana had been silently memorizing these names, planning to take her stinky old man to try these delicacies after finding him. These are much tastier than charcoal.

Jiu Xiao dialed the front desk, ordered the dishes Kiana wanted, and asked for two extra portions of each dish. He also ordered some other dishes he wanted to eat.

After hanging up the phone, Jiu Xiao couldn't help but sigh. What a magical other world! A tiny hotel with so many dishes!

"Let's pack a few dozen more when we leave tomorrow! That way we'll have enough to eat for the next few days, but I have a feeling you might finish them all in one day."

"Hee hee hee..."

After the waiter ran back and forth several times, Kiana lay contentedly on the bed, sliding her hands and legs up and down as if swimming.

Jiuxiao turned on the TV in the room, then used his butt to push Kiana aside, and crawled into bed to watch TV.

Kiana, is there anything you'd like to see?

"Hmm... Do you have any Alahato or Houmu Adventure? My stinky dad brought me a lot of these comics, although I've only read most of them once. But it would be nice to watch the Alahato or Houmu Adventure animations."

"How about the Houmu Adventure? It's quite popular and recommended."

So the two of them watched several episodes of Houmu's Great Adventure in bed.

Suddenly, Kiana poked Jiuxiao's waist and asked with a curious look, "By the way, why did you lie to that receptionist auntie before? You've told so many different lies to so many people today."

Looking at Kiana's innocent face, Jiuxiao pinched her round cheeks and said with a smile.

"Kiana, the real world isn't a fairy tale. The real world is a blurry gray. Everyone is born with their own selfish desires, and education teaches us morality to restrain them. But not everyone is educated or moral; their desires often unintentionally or intentionally satisfy themselves by harming others. You can know a person's face but not their heart, so I never hesitate to use the worst aspects of human nature as a reference."

Especially since we are children, we are the most vulnerable to being deceived and harmed. What if someone on the street has malicious intentions towards us?

"I'll knock him out with one punch!"

"..."

Jiuxiao's words sounded reasonable, but it was obvious that Kiana couldn't understand them. For her, if anyone dared to do something bad in front of her, she would punch them away.

Jiuxiao really wanted to give Kiana a thumbs up, but the reality of the present world told him that even if the other party was wrong, if he made a move, they would both be finished. However, I'm already in another world, why should I care so much?

“Indeed, if someone really wants to do something bad, then I’ll just punch them. But Kiana, although I’d ​​like to do that too, once I take action, I’ll inevitably get into all sorts of trouble. So if I can resolve some problems with words, I’ll just stick to talking. I don’t like getting into trouble.”

“But if we run away, then the next person who can’t escape will become the victim, and we will become accomplices.” Kiana looked at Jiuxiao with unwavering determination.

“We are not running away, Kiana. Avoiding crimes that haven’t happened is not running away. If a crime were to happen in front of us, we would definitely stop it. But if we can use words to make the other party believe that they are not targeting us, we can protect our own safety and also dispel any possible criminal intent on their part. It’s a win-win situation.”

"I don't understand... This is so troublesome... I feel like it's better to just punch it and blow it up."

"Idiot Kiana."

"You're the idiot!"

Jiuxiao didn't intend to preach to Kiana, because he himself didn't know what he was talking about. He realized he wasn't like the anime protagonist with his silver tongue, capable of changing someone's mind with a few words.

"Then forget what I said before. Pure maiden, may you forever keep your heart pure, and with a burning heart of justice, sweep away all injustice. And your most loyal knight is willing to be your sword and your shield, fighting for you."

"Your chuunibyou is acting up again, isn't it?"

"Hey."

Chapter 13 Siegfried's Worried Old Mother

"La la la~ Kiana, attack!"

Kiana was in an exceptionally good mood after finishing breakfast. Although she ate breakfast at 9:30 in the morning, it was still morning until noon, so it was definitely breakfast.

Jiu Xiao and Kiana packed the food into a bag together, while the silly Kiana kept sneaking bites. Every time Jiu Xiao saw her eating, he would tap her on the head, and she would puff up like a dumpling, only to continue eating a few seconds later.

The backpack, originally stuffed with Honkai Beasts, was intended to be discarded after Kiana had eaten something delicious. After all, the stuff was truly awful; they hadn't thought much about it when they took it out. Now, Kiana and Jiuxiao were struggling with what to do with it.

If we leave them here, ordinary people will be contaminated by the Honkai if they come into contact with them. If we don't leave them here, we can't fit them in our backpacks.

"What should we do? We have to get rid of this stuff, otherwise ordinary people will definitely suffer."

"Uh, just leave him to fend for himself? I don't think Dad did anything with the body!"

"It must have been burned to ashes by heavenly fire! We don't have that much firepower to burn it down right now."

"Then take it with you. Although the food is delicious, we can't let ordinary people suffer." Kiana hesitated for a moment, but still chose to give up the food. The Kaslana family would not harm innocent people for their own selfish desires.

"Moshi Moshi, my noble and beloved Holy Mark consciousness, are you still there? Is there any way?" Jiuxiao felt that he needed to call on his cheat code at this time, after all, the Holy Mark consciousness had also said that the Holy Mark was very omnipotent.

[Use your Stigmata to devour the Honkai Beast. The Honkai Beast carries a large amount of Honkai energy, and the Stigmata will absorb the Honkai energy and give it back to you.]
