Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 303 Revisit Teyvat

"what?"

"Kiana..."

"pregnant?!"

Inside the meeting room, everyone surrounded Kiana, who nodded with a blush on her face, while the captain looked on incredulously.

To be honest, he felt a little unreal. Although the captain had long anticipated that something would happen sooner or later since they had been going into battle without any equipment for so many days, he had suggested that Kiana prepare for battle, but she refused.

Kiana seems to have chosen not to bring any equipment into battle for some reason. She hadn't said anything before, but now she can't hide it anymore and will probably tell the truth.

But given Kiana's condition, is it really possible for her to get pregnant? Under the captain's questioning gaze, Kiana slowly began to explain.

A few days ago, Kiana started her day as usual, but ever since she woke up in the morning, she felt that something was wrong with her body, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

So, in order to find out what exactly happened, they also wanted to check how well Nighold's consciousness had recovered.

Kiana then checked her body, and to her dismay, she discovered that Nighold's consciousness was gone, and at the same time, a new life force was emanating from her abdomen.

"No, no way," Kiana thought uncertainly as she checked her body again, but the results remained unchanged. Undeterred, Kiana decided to go to Otto for a checkup. She chose Otto because he was discreet enough; given his special status, few people would bother coming to his place for no reason.

At the same time, his knowledge can also answer Kiana's question, which is how she got pregnant.

"So that's why you came to see me?" Otto put down the report in his hand and looked at Kiana helplessly. "Without a doubt, Miss Kiana, you are pregnant. Congratulations."

As he spoke, Otto clapped his hands, but Kiana was clearly not there to confirm with Otto what she already knew.

"So what exactly is going on? Given the concentration of Honkai energy in my body, there shouldn't be any possibility of pregnancy unless I deliberately control the concentration of Honkai energy."

“I understand, I understand. That’s why you chose to have sex without a condom.” Otto nodded as he said something that made Kiana a little embarrassed. “But as you said yourself, logically speaking, since you, Miss Kiana, have fully merged with the cocoon, you can no longer be simply defined as the Herrscher of the End.”

"What do you mean?"

"Literally speaking, Miss Kiana, you are now more than just a Herrscher of the End who has completely embraced the Cocoon; you are an existence that has transcended the Herrscher and even the three-dimensional world. At the same time, your body has also been sublimated. While retaining all the physiological functions of a normal human, the Honkai energy in your body has also been transformed into a pure form of energy, which in the terms of this universe is imaginary internal energy. Of course, I personally prefer to call it primordial Honkai energy."

This energy has lost its corrosive nature, but it has also become more difficult to control. The people of this world can only use the mastered imaginary energy through destiny, but the unmastered imaginary energy cannot be used even by messengers, let alone star gods... well, to be precise, I speculate that even star gods cannot use the unmastered imaginary energy.

The imaginary energy they can control is predetermined by some unseen force; the total amount is fixed, forming passages of varying sizes on the tree. This is the true nature of destiny. Surely, Ms. Kiana, who has visited the Imaginary Tree many times, is already aware of this?

"So you mean the Honkai energy within me is no longer the Honkai energy we know?"

"You could say that, but it could also be considered a blessing in disguise? Now you should be able to freely use those unclaimed imaginary internal energies. After all, according to you, the origin of our world, or rather the origin of the tree and the sea, comes from Him. As His quasi-companion, Miss Kiana, the power you possess far exceeds your imagination."

"But now is not the time to talk about this, is it? What should I do?"

“Isn’t that something that depends on Miss Kiana herself?” Otto laughed.

Indeed, it was her own mistake. Moreover, the consciousness or soul fragment that originally belonged to Nighold had already attached itself to this newborn life, so she couldn't possibly abort her and the captain's child.

"I guess I should stay," Kiana sighed, unconsciously stroking her lower abdomen.

It all felt so unreal. Even now, Kiana still feels like she's dreaming, even though she's confirmed it several times, and even Otto has given it medical confirmation.

However, the fact that she was about to have a child of her own and the captain's still gave Kiana a huge shock. Just as she finished telling Otto not to tell anyone and walked out of Otto's laboratory, she met the smiling Alicia in the corridor.

"Alicia, what are you doing here?!" Kiana exclaimed, then covered her mouth and pulled Alicia into Otto's laboratory.

After regaining her balance, Alicia dusted off imaginary dust and looked at Kiana with a mocking gaze.

"It's nothing, I just saw Kiana looking so troubled and she wouldn't respond no matter how I greeted her, so I followed her here~?"

"So what did you hear?"

"It's not much, it's just from when this Mr. Otto told you you were pregnant~?"

"Didn't we hear everything?! Otto, don't you have any soundproofing here at all? How could someone hear what's going on inside through such a thick door?!"

"You've really misunderstood me. How could I not have made these preparations? It's just that Miss Alicia sneaked in from the very beginning."

"Then why didn't you say so?!"

"Because she asked me to, I didn't have any reason to refuse, did I?"

As she spoke, Alicia winked and exclaimed, "Hehe!"

"Hey, you big head!" Kiana pulled out a paper fan from somewhere inside the portal and hit Alicia on the head. "Anyway, Alicia, my dear Alicia, please don't tell anyone, okay?"

"Eh, this is a bit tricky~? After all, this is incredibly good news. How could I, a beautiful fairy, not tell the captain this good news? Unless..."

Alicia looked troubled, then turned her gaze to Kiana, her lips curving into a W shape.

"Unless Kiana can grant me one request, okay?"

"W-What is it? As long as it's not something particularly outrageous, I can accept it."

Although Kiana knew that Alicia was definitely not up to any good, she reluctantly agreed in order to keep the secret.

"It's nothing, it's just..."

After whispering her conditions to Kiana, Alicia distanced herself, while Kiana blushed with embarrassment.

"Is...is this really how it has to be?"

"Well, as long as you promise, Kiana, I won't tell anyone. Okay, at most it'll just be something I'm embarrassed to wear for the Captain and me to see. Besides, even if the Captain can't help but make a mistake, it's okay. You've only just gotten pregnant, and with Kiana's constitution, it won't be a problem if you go a little overboard. Am I right, Mr. Otto?"

Alicia comforted her, and Otto on the other side also gave a positive reply. After much hesitation, Kiana finally agreed.

"So that's why you transformed into your catgirl form that night and were wearing Paddy's clothes?"

Back to the present, the captain couldn't help but complain as he recalled the scene from that night, "Was it really necessary to go to such lengths to keep Alicia's secret? Come to think of it, Alicia must have seen what you looked like, right?"

"That's right, Kiana was so cute back then that I almost couldn't help but make a mistake."

It was Alicia who spoke. Of course, the mistake she was referring to wasn't the same mistake as the captain's. She just wanted to invite Kiana to the bed and pet her, to listen to Kiana's shy meows, that was all.

"Alright, stop fooling around," Mei interrupted, cutting off the conversation from going off-topic. "The real question now is, where should we get Kiana to rest and recover during her pregnancy?"

“Indeed.” The captain nodded. “Since the mission in this world has been completed and we are about to depart for the next world, although we can negotiate with Him to obtain a period of leave, it cannot be directly applied to the current world. We need to choose another world first. We don’t know the meaning of this, but that’s what He said, and we can only do it.”

The captain's words made everyone present think. If they couldn't dock in the current world, then the only options were Teyvat, themselves, and another Honkai Impact 3rd world.

However, considering that Theresa and the others might find out that Kiana was pregnant out of wedlock, Mei and Bronya began to worry about the captain's safety.

Durandal might be alright; she shouldn't react after the explanation, but Theresa and Siegfried might be a different story.

Siegfried, in particular, caused a huge scene in Schicksal after learning that his daughter, whom he had raised with great difficulty, had run off with the captain. It was only after Theresa and Durandal intervened that he was able to quell the disturbance.

Of course, this doesn't mean Theresa had no objections. It's just that compared to Siegfried, Theresa spent more time with the Captain, understood his character, and also understood what the Captain meant to Kiana. That's why she didn't react much after the Captain and Kiana officially announced their relationship.

But things are different now. Theresa clearly stated back then that the two of them absolutely could not have a child before marriage, but now...

Therefore, one's own world is naturally not an option, and in the other Honkai Impact 3rd world, Kiana's inexplicable affection for the captain is something even the captain doesn't know what will happen after going there, so it's also a pass.

After much thought, it seems that Teyvat is the only place I can go. It would also be a good opportunity to meet up with Fu Hua and resolve the issues left over from Nata.

Now that the laws of nature have changed and the Dragonflight and Sky Isles have been unified, not to mention that the Abyss is isolated from Teyvat, it will not be able to invade for at least a hundred or a thousand years. It is time to stop the Fire-Stealing Sage's plan.

There's also the Abyss Order, but since their leader is Sora's sister, the Captain believes it's better to leave the Abyss Order's affairs to Sora herself. Besides, according to Kiana herself, the soul of the child within her is mixed with that of the former king of the Teyvat dragons; it's only right and proper for her to go to Teyvat and inform the dragons of this.

After informing Him of the situation, the captain, having decided on the destination, chose Teyvat for the Hyperion. This time, there were no accidents during the teleportation, and everyone arrived in Teyvat safely.

"Is this Teyvat? It feels really nice!"

After leaving the Hyperion, Alicia looked up at the boundless blue sky and said...

"You already saw Teyvat when you were talking to me before, so what's there to be surprised about? Besides, there have been a lot of videos about Teyvat in the group chat, haven't there?" Kiana said, pouting.

“But these feelings are different from seeing them with my own eyes,” Alicia retorted. “The feeling of this breeze is something you can’t experience in a video at all, and I haven’t seen Hua in a long time. I can’t wait to talk to her about what’s happened over the years. Where is she now?”

"Starting from here and heading south, once you cross that snow mountain, you'll reach Liyue. If nothing unexpected happens, Fu Hua should be operating in either Liyue or Nata, but most likely in Liyue. By the way, couldn't you have asked in the group chat?"

"It would be pointless to ask. I wanted to give Hua a surprise, but if I told her in the group chat beforehand, there would be no surprise."

"Whatever you want, I need to go to Sky Island now."

After saying that, Kiana left. The rest of the group exchanged glances and left one after another, leaving only Alicia, Eden, and the captain who was going to take her to Liyue.

"Shall we go then?" the captain asked.

"Okay, let's go."

"Speaking of which, is it really okay to leave Mei and the others there?" Captain Lu asked curiously. "I can understand Mei, but why are Möbius and Velvet left there?"

"In their own words, there's more to research if they stay there, and they seem to be collaborating with the Black Tower to develop a simulated universe. Some of the intelligence about Onfaros came from them last time."

Although he didn't know what role a scholar specializing in biology could play in a simulated universe, the wise captain suppressed his urge to complain.

Not long after, the three of them crossed the snow-capped mountains and officially arrived in Liyue. What came into view was the Wangshu Inn, built against the trees in the distance, which was the captain and his team's first stop.
