Star Railway, starting as Kiana

After thinking for a long time and still not figuring out what reward she could offer, Kafka decided to hand over the choice to Kiana.

"Tell me, my little darling, what do you want?"

Upon hearing Kafka's words, Kiana's eyes lit up, but before Kiana could speak, Silver Wolf chimed in.

“Se Se Da Me”.

Silver Wolf hurriedly stretched out her hands (pointing to her chest) and made a gesture of warming, but all she got in return was a disdainful expression from Qi Ya Na.

"Ah."

"You and him"

"Silver Wolf".

If it weren't for Junka Fuka stopping Ling Yinlang (who was probably about to charge again), they would have had a proper fight with Qi Jiuya.

"Alright, Silver Wolf, stop fooling around. I believe Kiana isn't the kind of person whose mind is only filled with lust."

Seeing Kiana puffing out her chest, seemingly mocking him because of Kafka's words, Silver Wolf couldn't help but spit.

"A guy who can say that the city of lesbians must be a lesbian fanatic, otherwise how could he see everyone as a lesbian?"

After finally separating Silver Wolf and Kiana again, Kafka felt like she was raising a child. Silver Wolf had always been reliable, so why did they always seem to be arguing whenever they met Kiana?

Is this a matter of compatibility?

However, after hearing Meng Qi Yarna's demands, Lin Kafu Kashan suddenly realized what it meant to have a headache.

"My request is very simple. I have a few outfits here, so I'm counting on you."

Kaffa and Silver Wolf were stunned for a moment when they saw the three sets of clothes and two notebooks that Kiana took out, but they quickly realized what was going on.

Kiana wanted the two of them to change clothes and then read out the lines from her prepared notebook.

"However, why are there three sets of clothes? The third set doesn't suit our body types at all."

"Oh, you mean this pink princess dress? It's for Ren, after all, we can't show favoritism."

Is this how you use the phrase "favoritism"?

Kiana knows that the Star Core Hunters are actually four people, or five if you include Eriol, but Kiana doesn't know the physical data of Firefly and Eriol, so she can't prepare clothes in advance.

After the two changed their clothes, as agreed, when they returned, Ren would also change into that pink princess dress, take photos, and send them over. Kiana nodded in satisfaction.

After the transaction was completed, Kiana was quickly kicked out of the room by Silver Wolf, and the two of them disappeared.

Meanwhile, Qi Ya Mingna also opened the group chat (and sent the two videos that Shan Zhishi had just recorded to the Starry Sky Train family of spirits' group.

Himeko and Lao Yang were idly on the train when they heard a notification sound on their phones, and then they saw two videos sent by Kiana.

It would have been better if we hadn't looked; both the coffee that Ji Zi had just put into her mouth and the tea that Lao Yang had just put into his mouth sprayed out.

First up is a video of Kaffa, in which Kaffa suddenly picks up a pink magic wand and shouts "Transform!"

Suddenly, the silver wolf appeared and put on a pink Lolita outfit that was completely out of place with Kafka's mature charm, along with a caption.

"Baby, stop rummaging through the trash can, Mom will take care of you."

This is exactly why Himeko spat it out.

The other video shows Lao Yang spitting out tea, looking like the old man reading a newspaper on the subway.

Looking at the silver wolf in the coffin, throwing away the clothes of Bronya Truth Zero's Lawrence form, whom he knew so well, he shouted, "Have you ever seen what it looks like when stars shatter?"

Himeko: Oh no, could it be that I'm hallucinating from drinking too much coffee? What the heck is this Kaffa?

Old Yang: Oh no, is that Silver Wolf? Or the Herrscher of Reason? The Honkai has chased me all the way here, it can't be this bad!

Both of their CPUs overheated, and for a moment they forgot to ask Kiana where she got those two videos.

The few who remained silent were also watching the video Kiana sent, especially Hoshino, who felt that the first video seemed to be directed at her.

Xing: She calls me baby, but the trash can smells good too, what should I do?

March 7th: Don't be fooled by bad women, but I also suggest you stop thinking about the trash can all the time, I'm begging you.

Danheng watched the drama unfold calmly in the group chat, but this calmness didn't last long.

Silver Wolf is incredibly efficient, and perhaps he's also curious about what Blade would look like in that outfit.

Soon, a photo was sent over.

Kiana looked at the photo of Wing and clicked her tongue in amazement. However, not long after, another video came through. But the person taking the photo was obviously not Silver Wolf, because in the video, Blade was chasing Silver Wolf, looking like he was about to go berserk.

Kiana sent the photo to Danheng separately, and then put her phone away.

Danheng only replied with a question mark and then said nothing more.

However, in his subsequent nightmares, Danheng still dreamed of the familiar lines spoken by the blade.

"There are five people, and three of them will be held accountable. You are one of them."

However, this time, Danheng was not awakened by a nightmare as usual, because in the dream, Ren was wearing the pink princess dress from the photo.

So Danheng wasn't startled awake and broke out in a cold sweat; instead, he got goosebumps all over.

Chapter 37 Kiana, what...what are you going to do?

Finally, after overcoming numerous difficulties and hardships, Kiana successfully arrived at the bottom of the wanted posters.

The others, having seen the photos Kiana had taken, also chose to leave their hiding places and reunite with Kiana.

The first one to arrive is March 7th.

The moment Kiana saw March 7, she moved closer, reached out, and mimicked Kaffa's earlier action, lifted March 7's chin, and wrapped her arms around March 7's waist, preventing her from escaping.

"Kiana, what... what are you doing? No, this is in public. Let's go back to our room and talk."

"Little March, have you forgotten our bet?"

"What do you want to do?"

"What am I going to do? Of course, I'm going to do what you wanted me to do."

Kiana only wanted to tease March 7, but when she saw March 7 suddenly blush and act shy, Kiana suddenly didn't want to let go.

"Well, let's wait until we get back to the train. This place isn't suitable, and we don't have any props here."

Props?

On March 7th, Xiao Shayuan (who was thinking about this) was wondering what was going on. Was it really that big of a game? (He thought it was just a small fight!) But it turned out that they had actually brought up props.

Kiana suddenly felt that March 7th in front of her was a little unfamiliar, but the lewd March 7th was also very cute.

The arrival of Xing and Danheng saved March 7th.

"By the way, Kiana, are you serious? The Star Core Hunters told you that the star core of this planet is missing? Would they really be that kind?"

"Yeah, what if they're lying to you, just to distract you so they can take the star core?"

Before Kiana could explain why, Xing let go of the trash can and rushed back to join the conversation.

"Impossible. Kafka is clearly a good person. She would never lie to us."

March 7th: ...

Dan Heng: ...

Kiana: ...

"Xing, be good, go play somewhere else, but remember next time, don't let your big sister trick you."

It wasn't until the group split up to investigate and learned that the Silvermane Iron Guards seemed to be searching for something recently, that their original large-scale gathering and preparations for a counterattack against the Rift were postponed, and that even the Great Guardians were personally searching for something in various places, that the group finally believed Kafka and Silver Wolf's words.

"So, what do we need to do now?"

"Strike down the landlords, distribute the land, and seize the women!"

Seeing March 7's unfriendly gaze, Kiana coughed twice and became slightly more serious.

"Ahem, just kidding. We're unfamiliar with this place, so we need to find someone in a high position who can trust us to work for free—no, I mean, to help us save this planet."

For some reason, the image of a blue-haired young woman suddenly appeared in their minds, but then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Go find Sambo again? Kiana tricked her so badly, do you think she'll help us?"

"Sambo?"

Kiana tilted her head, somewhat puzzled as to why March 7 would bring up that guy at this time.

March 7th tilted his head in the same direction, allowing himself to still face Kiana's adorable and somewhat silly face.

"If we don't look for her, then who should we look for?"

"Bronya, when it comes to high positions and great power, shouldn't Bronya be the first person that comes to mind? Even if it's not her, it should be Sylva, a former member of the City Builders. Why do you think of that unreliable guy?"

The three stared intently at Kiana, wondering how she could have said those words. It was hard to say whether Sambo was reliable or not, but along the way, apart from the initial trick he played on them, it was basically always the other side who got tricked.

The group initially thought it would be difficult to find Bronya, but that night, they sneaked into Crepper Castle and found Bronya inside, seemingly working on some documents.

"Why are you here?"

"You're asking us, that's why we're asking you, why don't you contact us when there's nothing going on?"

Bronya remained silent for a long time before finally standing up from her seat. She neatly placed the processed documents aside before leading the group to her room and recounting the events of the past few days.

At first, Bronya and Cocolia were at odds, but halfway through the argument, Cocolia almost fell over like a puppet that had lost its control.

Bronya forgot their argument and immediately went to help Cocolia up.

As a result, she saw an expression on Cocolia's face that she had never seen before, an expression that contained seven parts fear and three parts melancholy.

After that, Cocolia seemed to have given up her convictions and lost her motivation, and told Bronya everything she knew.

Bronya then recounted everything she saw in the lower district and her own thoughts.

"It's too late, it's already too late. Plan X has already been implemented to the point where it's already over. Now, the connection between Xingling Nuclear Pollution and me has suddenly been cut off. Even if I know that everything is wrong, it's too late."

So Bronya was left in Kripper Castle by Cocolia, ostensibly to prepare Bronya to take over her position, thus transferring everything to Bronya in advance.

The truth is that Cocolia sent people back from the front lines to search for the whereabouts of the Star Core.

Cocolia searched for several days but failed to find the location of the star core, so she was able to release Bronya from her captivity.

It's also possible that Cocolia has given up on herself.

"Wow, it really is gone. That's strange. Can a star core really run away? It doesn't seem to have happened before in our journey. Wait, let me ask someone else."

After saying this, March 7th took out his phone and contacted Lao Yang and Ji Zi in the group. The conclusions were exactly the same: even if the Star Core could induce others or even indirectly control them, it absolutely did not have the ability to move on its own.

Otherwise, if the star core were to wander aimlessly around to various planets every day, the world would have long since descended into chaos.

Bronya, what are your thoughts?

"No, but I think I should go to Mother now. The disappearance of the star core might be a good thing. Perhaps the crisis will be brought under control and the rift will not continue to spread. Then we can slowly reclaim the lost land and, with our strength, revive this planet and restore it to its former glory of eight hundred years ago."

Listening to Bronya's speech, Kiana quietly turned on her phone's camera, planning to show the video to a few of Bronya's acquaintances after everything was over.

Hopefully, Bronya won't die by then.

How delightful, how truly delightful!

Thinking of this, Kiana, without anyone noticing, grinned widely, revealing a mischievous smile.

Chapter 38 Prioritizing Romance Over Friendships, Prioritizing Romance Over Mother

Because Cocolia was giving up, her personal guards at the door were practically useless. Only a few stubborn ones were easily knocked unconscious by a few people and then thrown into a corner.

Bronya, by virtue of her position, easily knew Cocolia's location.

Meanwhile, to ensure everything went smoothly, Bronya summoned most of the Silvermane Iron Guards available in the city.

Except for a small number of people who were responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the city, the rest were given orders to prepare for an expedition.

Meanwhile, after the group visited Hilva and Bronya explained everything, Hilva chose to join the team.

Just as Bronya was about to launch a full-scale attack towards Cocolia's location, Kiana stopped her.

"Stop sending them away, stop sending them away. If you gather all your people together, and they really encounter a star core, won't that just mean all your remaining power will be wasted in one fell swoop?"

Bronya had thought that with Hilva by her side, and with the assistance of this former member of the Builders, as well as her own abilities, she could make the best choice.

Unexpectedly, the two were so aligned in their thinking that they were both so reckless.

Inside Crepper Castle, Kiana stopped Bronya from issuing the order, then looked at Sylva, who was standing to the side, and said with some helplessness:

"Hiluva, you're not worried about Cocolia, are you?"
