Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 229 Clearing Away Emotions

"Since you've chosen not to rekindle the feelings, Mei, I'd like to ask you what you plan to do with the feelings that remain?"

After the shield was removed, Kiana stepped forward and asked.

"After all, you know better than anyone what those feelings have become. Do you need me or Xiaoshi to help you completely erase them?"

Raiden Mei looked at Kiana with some surprise, not expecting that Kiana would know that the remaining emotions had long since become distorted.

That being said, most of the people present were unaware of this, especially Kiana Kaslana, who was immediately unsettled upon hearing that Raiden Mei still harbored some lingering emotions.

"What else can we do? Of course we'll stay!"

Of course, all of this still had to follow Raiden Mei's wishes, so Kiana Kaslana looked at Raiden Mei and asked.

"What do you think, Mei?"

Raiden Mei glanced at Kiana Kaslana, then turned her gaze to those she knew present.

Finally, she said, "Please clear away those feelings."

"Mei, why?"

Kiana Kaslana excitedly grabbed Raiden Mei's hand and asked, she really couldn't understand why Raiden Mei wanted to erase those residual feelings when a certain emotional foundation was needed to rebuild the relationship.

Does she not actually want to repair her relationship with them?

“It’s not what you think, Kiana.” Raiden Mei gently grasped Kiana Kaslana’s hand, forcibly suppressing the dark thoughts in her heart, and said, “The reason I cleared those emotions is because they had already become distorted. If they continued to remain in my body, I was afraid that I would do something irreversible.”

"Is that really the case?" Kiana Kaslana asked worriedly.

"Of course, both the Herrscher of Knowledge and Kiana over there can testify for me."

"Hey! Why bring me up for no reason? I'm not a doctor!"

The Herrscher of Knowledge emerged from Raiden Mei's body with dissatisfaction, but compared to the Herrscher of Knowledge throwing a tantrum, the others were more concerned about whether what Raiden Mei said was true.

Fu Hua then stepped forward and asked, "Is everything Mei said true?"

"Yes! It's true, okay?" the Herrscher of Knowledge said irritably.

"So everything Mei said is true?" Theresa asked Kiana.

"That's right. Although I can't reveal too much to you, if we had chosen to repair the relationship back then, it would have brought an irreversible bad ending to this world. As for keeping those remaining feelings, although there would be some negative effects, it wouldn't be too bad. But since Mei herself has said so, let's follow her wishes here."

"I understand."

After saying this, Theresa took a step back and remained silent. Kiana Kaslana, after much deliberation, also walked away from Raiden Mei.

Seeing that there was no last obstacle, Kiana approached Raiden Mei and asked.

"Are you ready then?"

Raiden Mei nodded: "It's been prepared for a long time."

"Then I'll start."

After saying that, Kiana used her powers of consciousness to carefully cleanse the remaining emotions. To be honest, the Herrscher of Consciousness could also do this job, but considering that the Herrscher of Consciousness was still throwing a tantrum, Kiana had to do it herself.

Honestly, even after all this time, Xiaoshi hasn't changed at all.

As Kiana cleansed away the lingering emotions from Raiden Mei, she recalled the Herrscher of Knowledge's earlier sullen expression, and a slight smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

This slight smile was caught by Raiden Mei in front of her, and with the sunlight shining from behind Kiana, Raiden Mei was momentarily mesmerized.

A strange emotion rose in Raiden Mei's heart. At this moment, she seemed to understand why Raiden Mei had fallen in love with Kiana.

Kiana is really beautiful, but Raiden Mei also understands that the Kiana in front of her is from a different world and is destined to leave this world.

and so……

Raiden Mei secretly glanced at Kiana Kaslana to the side. Seeing Kiana Kaslana's sullen appearance and her eyes that clearly showed she hadn't been contaminated by knowledge, Raiden Mei's face broke into a bead of helpless sweat.

Although Kiana Kaslana appears to have a mature demeanor, her knowledge base is indeed inferior to Kiana's.

Compared to her innocent and natural appearance, Kiana's current scholarly demeanor is more appealing to Raiden Mei.

It seems I need to properly teach Kiana some skills, otherwise Raiden Mei is really worried that one day she'll be scammed and lose everything.

These were Raiden Mei's thoughts before she completely erased those feelings. With the removal of those remaining emotions, Raiden Mei also completely lost her feelings for Kiana Kaslana.

Even if Raiden Mei faces Kiana, who is even more offensive to her, she will not cause any ripples. She is completely indifferent to Kiana Kaslana.

Fortunately, before that, Raiden Mei hinted to herself that she had preserved the idea of ​​Kiana Kaslana studying hard.

After all, having enough relevant knowledge about Honkai is the best way to deal with Honkai events more safely and effectively. More importantly, one-on-one learning can help you mold Kiana Kaslana into the character you want, right?

While Kiana turned around, Raiden Mei secretly licked her lips and thought to herself.

"Ah, that's all, that's all!" Kiana stretched and said, "Speaking of which, Captain, you've been here for a while now. Could you tell me about your experiences here? I'm quite curious!"

"I guess we don't need that," the captain said somewhat guiltily.

Seeing the captain's expression, Kiana narrowed her eyes and her aura began to become oppressive.

"You wouldn't have gone to conquer my world while I was away, would you?"

"Of course that's impossible! How could I do such a thing? You have to believe me!"

Kiana looked the captain up and down, then glanced at Kiana Kaslana, who was exchanging feelings with Raiden Mei.

"I doubt you'd dare, but I'm actually a little curious how she developed such a high level of affection for you if you didn't try to win her over?"

"Um...you noticed?"

"To be honest, Captain, you don't really not consider me a woman anymore, do you? I am a woman after all, so I can guess her feelings to some extent. Not to mention that, strictly speaking, she is me in this world, so it's even easier to guess her thoughts."

"No, actually," the captain thought to himself as he glanced at Kiana.

The main reason is that in the captain's memory, Kiana has never been like a girl since her previous life. Not only are her hobbies more like those of boys, but her personality is also more like that of boys.

She was called a tomboy since she was a child, and sometimes the captain even doubted whether she was female. It was only after he confessed his feelings that she briefly showed a proper, girlish reaction.

In his previous life, someone asked him why he liked a tomboy. To be honest, the captain himself couldn't answer that. He just naturally fell in love with her, without any complicated experiences as others might have imagined.

They were just ordinary people who grew up together, went to school, and played together, and eventually, somehow, they ended up together.

Childhood sweethearts are amazing, right?

After the time travel, both Kiana and the Captain went through a period of inner turmoil, since they had only recently met. Kiana was active in Europe, while the Captain had found Kiana based on the information he had gathered, hoping to change the course of the story.

The longer the captain lived with Kiana, the more he realized that he had unknowingly fallen in love with her, and Kiana also developed feelings for him during this time.

The captain was utterly baffled as to why Kiana would fall for him when he hadn't done anything wrong. To avoid betraying Kiana, the captain chose to distance himself from her, while Kiana herself felt self-loathing for having fallen for someone else.

During that time, the captain felt sorry for Kiana, who was inexplicably disgusted with herself, but he was worried that he might inadvertently win Kiana's heart and become timid and hesitant.

One day, the captain accidentally opened the interface of his ability and learned why Kiana fell in love with him. At the same time, he also learned from that interface that Kiana was actually ■■■.

When the captain learned of this, he finally smiled from the bottom of his heart, something he hadn't done in a long time. He couldn't wait to go to Kiana and confirm the truth of the matter.

However, his fear of the truth prevented him from speaking directly. Finally, encouraged by Kiana, the captain mustered up the courage to tell the truth.

The final result was gratifying; Kiana was indeed [redacted]. This allowed the captain to finally relax and continue spending time with Kiana.

The captain still vividly remembers Kiana's expression at the time after explaining the truth to her and describing the effects of his deduced abilities.

It was an expression that was both speechless and wary. Speechless because she had been hating herself for so many days, and wary because she was worried that the captain would use this ability to conquer all the cute girls and build a harem.

After all, in his previous life, the captain often boasted to Kiana that XXX was his wife, especially in miHoYo games, where he seemed to fall in love with every woman he met.

Therefore, Kiana went to great lengths to prevent a bunch of people from vying for the captain's affections in the future. Not only did she tell everyone that the captain was her boyfriend, but she also spent every day with the captain researching how to turn off this ability.

Finally, after raising Mei and Bronya's affection level to "more than friends, but not quite lovers," I found a way to turn it off.

This prevented a situation where her best friend would steal her man, but Kiana vaguely felt that Mei still had ulterior motives towards the captain.

What the captain wants to say is that Mei not only has designs on him, but also on Kiana.

However, Mei threatened to silence Kiana before the captain could say it, which is why Kiana still doesn't know that what Mei has always wanted to do is to achieve monogamy.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Seele from both worlds also has unusual feelings for the captain.

Why?

He had secretly left a backdoor for detection, under the guise of bestowing blessings from the Earth God, so that he could know in real time whether the captain had activated his ability and why.

If He and his future self hadn't blocked their ability to precisely perceive coordinates, Kiana could have actually used the coordinates sent through this backdoor to find the captain.

Besides, although the captain had used his ability a few times in this world, his purpose was to gain the trust of others in this world more quickly, so he didn't care.

But Seele really didn't understand why!

So it really comes down to people?

Kiana thought to herself, and then she glanced at the captain again. For the first time, she felt that she really had to find a way to keep the captain firmly by her side.

Although he didn't know what Kiana was thinking, the captain instinctively shivered and quickly changed the subject.

"Now that everything is over, what should we do next? Should we head straight to the next world?"

“No.” Kiana shook her head. “After I came to this world, He also gave me a corresponding task. Although I really don’t want to be led by the nose by Him, I’ll follow His plan for now. That way, I can secretly investigate His affairs.”

Although this "secret" can hardly be considered a secret, Kiana thought to herself.

The captain understood Kiana's meaning, but what he cared more about was whether their world's companions would come to this world, what Kiana and the others had experienced in Teyvat, and why Fu Hua wasn't by their side.

Kiana didn't hide anything from the captain's doubts and shared them generously. Of course, in the end, the captain also briefly recounted his experiences over this period.

After listening to the captain's explanation, Kiana understood what to do next.

"Since you, Captain, have joined World Serpent along with me in this world, let's continue according to your original plan. Anyway, our mission is related to Paradise of the Past, so I can take this time to thoroughly investigate why I in this world have such a high level of affection for you."

"I understand, I will follow my original plan." The captain said, sweating profusely, then changed the subject, "But Mei will be coming along too, and that scene should be quite exciting."

Upon hearing the captain's words, Kiana also imagined herself in this world with Raiden Mei and Alicia in this world. Just imagining it made Kiana feel her brain trembling.

Suddenly, Kiana lost interest in investigating Kiana Kaslana's unusually high level of affection for the captain. She was more interested in seeing what kind of chaotic situation would arise between herself, Mei, and Alicia.

Please don't misunderstand, Kiana is not a twisted person.

She just likes the close interaction between girls, it's definitely not something romantic, she just prefers yuri to yaoi.

Of course, liking yuri is just like Lord Ye professing love for dragons but fearing its power; he thinks it's okay for others but not for himself.

Kiana was caught in a dilemma, and the captain immediately understood what was going on when he saw her like this.

He sighed, stepped forward, and patted Kiana's head, saying, "Alright, just finish the investigation and come back soon. We'll be staying in Paradise for quite a while. If all else fails, there's always the group chat. I can always take the risk and secretly film some footage and send it to you via the group chat later, right?"

Kiana first enjoyed the captain's caresses with a comfortable expression before speaking.

"There's no need for taking photos secretly. I have a better way to see what's going on over there. But you're right, the sooner we finish our investigation, the sooner we can come back. I'll leave the Hyperion to you, Captain. I'll be going now."

After saying that, Kiana teleported away, and the captain shook his head helplessly as Kiana left.

"Honestly, couldn't you wait until you had a meal before leaving!"
