Star Railway, starting as Kiana

Hearing that voice, which she had often heard years ago, come again, even though Hilva was certain that the person in front of her was not the same person as Bronya, she couldn't help but relax her guard.

"Come inside with me. There's no one in the shop now, and nowhere is safer than here."

Hiluva put the bag on the ground and then opened the door.

Yes, that's right, the door wasn't locked, but it wasn't pushed inwards; it was pulled outwards.

Despite the darkness of the night, Kiana could still feel the resentful gazes of the two people beside her as she witnessed this scene.

"Don't look at me, you haven't noticed either!"

"Okay, come on in."

Once the three entered the room, Hiluva immediately pressed the button on the bar.

"Click."

The door was instantly locked from the inside, startling the group so much that they thought they had been tricked.

Seeing the group of people who seemed to sense danger and were now flustered, Hiluva found it amusing and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Alright, alright, don't be nervous. Didn't you have something to tell me? I locked the door to prevent outsiders from disturbing us. Come with me to the second floor. I'll prepare some snacks and tea for you, and we can talk slowly."

As the backbone of this operation, Kiana nodded when she saw the questioning looks from March 7 and Star, and then followed them to the second floor.

After seeing Kiana follow, March 7 and Hoshi put away their weapons and headed towards the second floor, looking around the room full of mechanical parts.

"Alright, tell me, what's up so late? Do you want my autograph? If it's for a few cute little ones, sure."

Kiana showed no embarrassment whatsoever in the face of Shiluva's teasing.

Instead, it was because they felt they had been provoked that they instinctively retaliated.

"Sister Lu is the one who makes me feel beautiful (thinking that I can stay in your boudoir at night to discuss life with you, or even just sitting across from you and looking at your face, I can release my stress and fall asleep peacefully."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Although Shilva had more life experience, she still couldn't help but feel sorry for Kiana when she saw Kiana, who looked like her former best friend's daughter, almost run her over with a car.

"Okay, no kidding."

Kiana returned to her original form and then gestured for March 7th to bring out the things they had agreed upon.

Hiluva looked at the photos that March 7th had handed her, along with the information about the dangers of the star core and the planet's history of change.

The attention that had been focused on Kiana shifted back to her.

"You mean to say that the current abnormality of the planet I, Koko, and the crisis of the Star Lord's planet are all because of the Star Core?"

"You should already know this, right? Lady Hiluva, one of the former builders of the city."

Hiluva turned the teacup towards her, her expression becoming serious.

“That’s right, but this one can transform into Bronya.”

Just call me Kiana.

"Hello, Ms. Liu Yana, as you can see, I am now just the owner of this mechanical shop. Even I, the former builder of this city, was powerless to stop it, so what can I do now?"

"It's very simple. All you need to do is step forward and tell Bronya and Jepard everything."

"Oh, why don't you go and say it yourself?"

"Because of the two of them, they think they are children you watched grow up, one of whom is your younger brother. You don't need them to believe you; you just need to plant a seed."

Hiluva placed her hands on the table and continued to count.

Kiana wasn't in a hurry for a reply and started enjoying the snacks prepared by Shiluva.

On the contrary, March 7th looked at the two riddle-solving people with a blank expression, as if to say, "Why can't you speak properly? What are you talking about, city builders and seeds?"

Xing, on the other hand, was the calmest. He turned his gaze to the window and stared intently at a trash can outside the mechanical house, seemingly considering sneaking a rummage through it after things were over.

“Okay, I agree, but I’m not sure about Bronya’s situation. I haven’t seen the child in a while.”

"Don't worry, go to the Goethe Hotel tomorrow morning, and you'll see her there."

Chapter 20 March 7th, Don't look at me, I'm not A either.

"Ah, Kiana, what were you talking about? I don't understand."

"Emmm... To put it simply, Hilva is Cocolia's best friend, a former member of the City Builders, and the sister of the Jepard we met before. She was expelled from the City Builders by the High Guardian because of the Star Core."

"Wait a minute, isn't Cocolia the Great Guardian? Why are you saying them separately?"

"Because in Hilva's eyes, her only true friend has always been Cocolia, not the Great Guardian she is today."

Kiana had just finished explaining to March 7th when she grabbed Hoshino by the collar and pulled her away from the trash can.

"Xing, why do you always want to rummage through the trash cans?"

"I don't know, but I always felt an unusual attraction to it. I felt a connection to fate through it."

"Don't get attached to the trash can, Kiana! Don't just stand there watching, try to persuade Hoshino! I don't want Hoshino to get on the bus with a trash can in her arms that day!"

When the group returned to the hotel, they found that the light in Danheng's room was still on and the door was not closed. There was a crack in the door, allowing the light from inside to shine into the corridor.

"Could it be the legendary demon from the Goethe Hotel?!"

Thinking of the rumors she had heard during the day, March 7th felt a chill run down her neck, but seeing that she had two companions with her, she mustered up her courage and walked toward Danheng's room.

Upon entering, they saw Dan Heng holding a long spear, pinning a blue-haired young woman to the ground. No matter how much she struggled, Dan Heng remained unmoved.

Hearing the noise from the door, Dan Heng turned around and saw the three of them looking at him with expressions that said, "So this is the kind of person you are."

Before Danheng could explain why, Kiana gave him a thumbs-up.

"Danheng Paint, I didn't expect you to like this one. I can understand. Tonight, Xingqi and Qi will be sharing a room with me. The two rooms in between are separated, so you can play as much as you want without any problem."

Seeing that the others actually believed Kiana's words, Danheng panicked.

After the explanation, everyone gathered around, looking at this "old acquaintance."

"Are you Sambo?"

"That's right, my friend, I am your friend Old Sambo, your lovely long-legged uncle."

"Isn't she the long-legged auntie?"

Xing's words shattered Sangbo's psychological defenses. Whether he was faking it or not, Sangbo lay on the ground looking like he was emotionally traumatized, and it seemed as if some phantom was floating out of his mouth.

"You are not allowed to leave your body! Go back!"

"Explain yourself. How did you end up like this? And why did you come here at night?"

"It's me, Uncle!"

"Don't tell me to speak properly!"

Seeing Kiana pick up a pistol and press it against his temple, Sambo quickly raised his hands in surrender, then stopped causing trouble and revealed the purpose of his visit.

"Oh Ling, you said you came to help us, Meng, um, you're really kind~."

"Yes, my friend, so, can you help Old Sambo break this curse? Old Sambo, I'm not ready to become Aunt Sambo yet."

"A curse? What curse?"

“Wasn’t it you guys? That day, because of unforeseen circumstances, we had to separate so as not to be a burden to you. I felt a burning sensation in my body, as if flames were burning in my chest and groin. I was almost caught, but I found that when the Silver Mane Iron Guards saw me, they didn’t grab me. Instead, they avoided me and ran away.”

"At the time, I thought they hadn't seen it, or that something else had happened. But when I got home, I found myself like this. Besides you guys, I haven't seen anyone else, Old Sambo. It couldn't be the Silvermane Iron Guards who did this, could it? I know very well what they're capable of."

Upon hearing this, the group couldn't help but look at Kiana.

If we're talking about who among them could pull off something like this without making a sound, the only one we can think of is Kiana's mouth.

Sambo followed their gazes and looked at Kiana.

"This stranger (Little E), we should have no grudge against each other, so why are you treating me like this, old man Sangbo Qi?"

"Ah, I remembered."

On March 7th, a loud shout suddenly rang out. Fortunately, the soundproofing inside the hotel was excellent, and because the room was reserved for several guests (these were VIPs of Belleburg, and the entire floor had been booked), March 7th's shout might have caused public outrage.

March 7th realized that he might be disturbing the peace, so he awkwardly covered his mouth with his hand. When he found that no one else could hear any other noises, he whispered his guess.

Ignoring Sambo, March 7th went directly to the train crew and asked them questions.

"Do you guys remember what Kiana said when this guy ran away?"

"I said..."

The group recalled Kiana's last words.

"Don't worry, Little March, this person is no gentleman and will surely get what he deserves."

I originally thought it was just that Sangbo was remembered by Qilina and hated her, but I didn't expect that this could trigger Qilina's ability.

"So, this is what they call retribution?"

For some reason, Danheng felt that he should pay more attention to Kiana, in case he ended up like Sambo one day.

Thinking of this, Dan Heng quickly shook his head, and then a figure covered in bandages appeared.

"Eh!"

Suddenly, March 7th approached Kiana and hugged her arm.

March 7's gaze remained fixed on Sambo's chest when suddenly a bold idea struck her.

March 7th leaned close to Kiana's ear and whispered:

"Kiana, why don't you try again? I don't think this is retribution at all. If I could get a 36D, I'd want this kind of retribution too!"

Although March 7th's voice was very low, the way Sangbo and Danheng's lips twitched uncontrollably, yet they forced themselves to suppress it so that no one else could see, proved that everyone had actually heard March 7th's voice.

Kiana felt the softness coming from her arm and didn't know how to comfort her for a moment.

Instead, Xing said with a serious expression, "March 7th, you're not a child anymore. Look at Bronya, she's clearly the heir to the High Guardian, and she's still..."

"Cough cough."

Fortunately, Bronya wasn't there, otherwise Xing's words might have offended both of them. March 7 wanted to retort, but when she thought of Xing's figure under her loose clothes, she swallowed her words.

"As expected, Kiana is my best friend."

"March 7th, don't look at me, I'm not an A either."

On this day, March 7th, he experienced what betrayal truly meant.

At the beginning of the manga, Kiana and Bronya were both unremarkable when Kiana entered the school, and then the main storyline gave her a B grade, but this is only for reference, as the immortal was also a B grade.

Chapter 21 Remember to keep a certain distance from strangers in the future!

After a "peaceful" discussion among the group, the train crew finally reached a deal with Sambo.

The terms of the deal were that Kiana would lift the "curse" on Sambo, and Sambo would lead them to escape from the upper district if they encountered any danger.

But frankly, this deal wasn't very valuable.

Given Sambo's personality, even without a deal, he would still intervene once the group was wanted by the authorities.

However, looking at it from another perspective, Kiana can't control her abilities at will. Back at the Black Tower Space Station, those crew members who were turned into pandas all recovered naturally.

It's just a question of how long Sambo can maintain this form.

The following morning, because March 7 and the others had known the news in advance, after getting up, they heard the commotion below the hotel and saw the Silver Mane Iron Guards surrounding the area through the window, and they clearly understood what had happened.

"Kiana, what do you mean? Are we just going to keep going like this? We know they're here to capture us. Aren't we just walking into a trap?"

At some point, Kiana seemed to have become the backbone of the team, and March Seven would instinctively ask Kiana for her opinion whenever faced with a problem.

However, Kiana didn't have a good solution. If they ran away, it would only confirm their suspicions, and who knew if Cocolia would smear them with more accusations.

Furthermore, this was the only way to lure Bronya to the lower levels, so even though they knew it was a trap, they had no choice but to go.

Xing looked at Kiana, who had transformed into a duck form once again, and couldn't help but feel curious.

"Kiana, why do you have to turn into this again? If you appear in your original form, they won't recognize you, will they?"

Xing's words hit the nail on the head, leaving Kiana deeply shocked.

"Xing, I didn't know you were this smart!"

star:...

It's only because Xing has a good personality that she's able to resist. If it were someone with a short temper, hearing Kiana's words would probably make them want to pounce on her and teach this thoughtless person a lesson.

Seeing Kiana return to her original form, and wearing the Winter Princess outfit that she had urgently ordered from the Interstellar Peace Corporation back at the Black Tower Space Station, Hoshi couldn't help but sigh, "It's good to be rich."
