northernbook Chapter 222 Janna Appears
Chapter 222 Janna Appears
Finally, the Hyperion, which emerged from the spatial rift, docked beside the Hyperion in this world, and Kiana, Bronya, and Mei slowly emerged from it.
Kiana first looked around, and finally spotted the captain in the crowd opposite her.
Kiana's eyes lit up, and in a flash, she pounced into the captain's arms, nuzzling affectionately against his chest.
"Captain, I miss you so much!"
The captain's gaze softened as he watched Kiana's retreating figure, and he unconsciously stroked her hair.
"Yeah, I missed you too."
Just then, a voice filled with jealousy rang out beside them.
"Hey, Ashin, who is this woman?"
Kiana turned her head and saw that it was herself in this world—Kiana Kaslana—watching her and the captain's intimate behavior with a jealous expression.
(From this chapter onwards, Kiana in this volume's original world will be written as Kiana Kaslana, and the protagonist will continue to use the name Kiana. The same applies to other characters with the same name. This is not because we want to pad the word count ╭(╯^╰)╮)
However, Kiana heard an interesting name from Kiana Kaslana.
"Ah-Shin, hehe, what's going on here?"
"This...this..."
The captain started sweating profusely, and it was clear that Bronya and Mei had also heard the name, and now they had gathered around and were questioning the captain aggressively.
"Exactly, exactly. Even we don't know your name, Captain, so how did Kiana from this world know it?" x2
Seeing that Mei and Bronya reacted the same way, Kiana Kaslana subconsciously assumed that Kiana and the others did not know the captain's real name.
So she proudly puffed out her chest and looked at Kiana with a victorious expression.
As Kiana, who was the captain's childhood friend in her previous life and traveled through time with him, how could she not know the captain's real name?
She was simply surprised that the captain would tell her name to this world. But speaking of the name Ashin...
Although Kiana didn't know the captain's exact name, the intimate way she addressed him, Ashin, suggested that the relationship between her and the captain in this world was quite special.
"Tell me, how did you manage to win over this version of me?"
While explaining to Mei and the others, the captain also had to mentally respond to Kiana's questions. Now he finally understood how those harem male protagonists felt.
Honestly, being caught in this love triangle wasn't a good feeling, and he figured he had no intention of winning over Bronya and Mei, so why were their affection levels still so high?
"The captain really doesn't understand girls' feelings!"
"Wait, Kiana?!"
The captain watched as Kiana left dejectedly after only leaving those words in his mind, feeling utterly helpless.
Meanwhile, Kiana Kaslana, seeing Kiana leave looking unhappy, became even more certain of her guess and her mood immediately improved.
However, the situation on the captain's side was a mixed bag, with some feeling happy and others feeling sad, especially Theresa and Durandal.
They had initially thought that the captain seemed like a decent person, and if Kiana Kaslana really liked him, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let her try to pursue him.
But now it seems they misjudged them.
It is said that you can know a person's face but not their heart, and it seems that this saying is absolutely true.
This captain is cheating on his wife with three women at once! There's no way he'd let such a scumbag win over his own niece (sister)!
Thinking of this, Durandal and Theresa subconsciously glanced at each other.
Both sides saw the same idea in each other's eyes, and at this moment the Anti-Ship Captain Alliance was formed.
Its sole purpose is to make Kiana Kaslana see the captain's ugly face!
However, before that, they still needed to obtain useful information from Kiana, who was suspected to be from the Captain's world, and the first thing they asked was about the Captain.
"Eh? You want to ask me about the captain?"
"That's right! Kiana, don't you think the captain's character is questionable?"
Upon hearing Theresa's words, Kiana frowned slightly in displeasure, but then relaxed.
"Actually, the captain is alright. Don't be fooled by Mei and Bronya's constant presence around him; he only likes me!"
Alright! It seems Kiana is in a bit of trouble; we'll have to start with the other two.
So Theresa and Durandal finally found the two people who had ended the chaotic situation.
"Um, the captain isn't actually what you think," Mei shook her head and said. "Actually, the captain is very gentle to everyone, and we all know that the captain actually likes Kiana, so we won't really try to break them up."
Bronya nodded in agreement, but neither of them seemed to have given up, especially Mei, whose gaze kept shifting between Kiana and the captain.
She looked like she wanted to dump Kiana, her decent girlfriend, and replace her at any moment. Love really can change a person. Even the most obedient Mei has become so scheming!
It seems impossible to extract any useful information from them, as these three have clearly been so infatuated with the captain that they have lost their ability to make independent judgments.
However, there was one more thing that Theresa was very concerned about.
"By the way, are you really Bronya?"
Theresa stared at Bronya in disbelief; she truly never imagined that one day she would be betrayed.
"Your Excellency, are you doubting that I am not the Bronya you know? Oh, no, I should still call her Headmistress now."
"So you really are Bronya?"
"What, do I need to tell you some secrets that only the Dean and I know before you'll believe me? Like, there's something in the Dean's office drawer..."
"Hey hey hey! No need to say anything! I believe you! I believe you, okay?!"
Seeing that Bronya was about to reveal her secret, Theresa quickly interrupted her.
She didn't want to give Durandal any more negative impressions, while Durandal, though curious, decided not to ask any more questions out of politeness.
Judging from Theresa's reaction, those secrets were definitely not meant for her to know.
"By the way, did you encounter some kind of accident? Why wasn't the captain traveling with you?"
"Well, we did encounter some unexpected problems."
After Bronya's simple explanation, Durandal and the others finally understood why the captain had appeared in their world.
Simply put, for some reason, Kiana, the captain, and others are traveling in the Sea of Quanta to carry out a mission.
Later, due to an accident, the Hyperion was damaged, and the people on board were forced to disperse.
Kiana, Mei, and Bronya were lucky enough to crash into the same world as the Hyperion, while the Captain and the Herrscher of Knowledge arrived in this world. Only Seele's whereabouts are currently unknown.
"Speaking of this old relic, why isn't she with you?" asked the Herald of Knowledge.
"For some reason, the class monitor stayed in that world. We will go back and bring her back later."
The one who understood the law said, "So that's how it is."
"But it seems you have some trouble to resolve right now?" Kiana asked.
Let me explain this point.
The captain stepped forward and briefly explained the current situation to Kiana and the others.
Kiana looked at Raiden Mei thoughtfully and said, "No wonder I always felt that Mei in this world was a bit strange. I see."
"Therefore, we need to resolve the matter here as soon as possible and head to the Stigmata Terminal to resolve the Stigmata issue on Mei."
“That’s also why I’m here,” Kevin said, arms crossed. “I was originally planning to come and help, but it seems like we don’t need my help anymore.”
Kiana simply chuckled; she already understood Kevin's meaning.
"I'll help resolve the issue of the false god, but before that, do you want to go and see him one last time?"
"Sister? Are you talking about me?"
Yulan Dale pretended to be ignorant while knowing the truth.
"Of course, sister, don't deny it. With the captain around, do you think Aunt Flo and the others wouldn't know your true identity?"
"This……"
Durandal turned to look at Theresa and the others, only to find guilty expressions everywhere she looked.
"So, you actually knew all along?"
Kiana Kaslana awkwardly scratched her head and said, "Well, although I only found out a little while ago, I didn't know how to bring it up since we'd suddenly recognized each other, so I thought I'd let you say it first, but..."
It was only then that Durandal noticed that Kiana Kaslana had indeed used the word "sister" when they met earlier. However, realizing that it wasn't appropriate to say it out loud, she changed her mind halfway through.
In other words, they already knew his identity before they met him today, but they just didn't know how to bring it up.
However, he felt that revealing his identity would cause unnecessary trouble, so he chose to remain silent.
Both sides tacitly avoided the question of Durandal's true identity. If Kiana hadn't spoken up, the truth would probably have remained hidden for some time.
"In that case, I'll go with them!"
"I'm going too! I'm going too!"
Kiana Kaslana quickly retorted, "This is a family matter, how could I be left out! Right, sister?"
Durandal paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes, you're right!"
"Alright, let's get ready and set off. Remember to stand still and don't blink."
Having received the information the two had prepared, Kiana snapped her fingers and led them to where Otto was.
"Oh? It seems we have an uninvited guest visiting! Are you Kiana from the Captain's world? Or should I call you a god or something?"
Kiana ignored the two surprised looks and said to Otto, "Say what you want, Otto, I'm here to stop you."
"That's truly my honor!" Otto laughed heartily. "I never imagined that a mere false god like myself would have such an honor as to be judged by a true god. But what I didn't expect was that you would bring both of them with you. I thought you would come to find me alone."
"No matter what, you are still my sister's mentor. Even though you have been taking advantage of her, I think you should still respect her opinion."
"Sister? It seems you've already told them your identity, Durandal," Otto said confidently. "But I don't understand. With your personality, shouldn't you keep such an important matter to yourself and not reveal it until the necessary moment?"
"That was indeed my original plan, but I didn't expect that Kiana and the others already knew about this from the captain."
"Captain, Captain. Although I had suspected he was from a parallel world, even the Second Divine Key would find it difficult to travel between parallel worlds, so I didn't speculate too much. Now it seems my guess was right. Since he comes from a more future world, it's not surprising that he could tell Theresa and the others your identity."
"Stop now, Bishop. It's impossible for you to complete your plan now."
"Heh, of course I know. I knew the moment I saw Kiana," Otto said. "My plan is doomed to fail, but you can't expect me to back down either!"
"Then don't you want to live and see Karen again?"
Otto paused, and to be honest, he hesitated for a moment when he heard Kiana's words.
"Forget it. At this point, I am no longer qualified to stand by her side. Let me just complete my martyrdom!"
"Really? Is there anything else you'd like to say?"
"I have nothing more to say. Durandal, you are my last and most proud student. I'm entrusting Theresa to your care."
Yulandel nodded silently.
"Also, tell Theresa that I personally knitted her an archbishop's shawl. If she doesn't mind, let her wear it on the day of her inauguration to cleanse herself of the sins I created. And remember to tell her to occasionally eat some vegetables other than bitter melon..."
Kiana watched as Otto kept rambling on and on, his mouth twitching as he finally managed to stop after half an hour.
Seeing that Alto had finally finished, Kiana seemed relieved and quickly sent Alto on its way.
He had originally planned to slowly torment Alto to vent his anger, but after Alto did this, he lost all interest in tormenting him.
Kiana defeated Otto with a casual strike and then left the imaginary space with the two of them.
But when they returned to the real world, they found it completely silent; there wasn't a single person on the Hyperion!
Just as Kiana and the others were wondering what was going on, Durandal suddenly felt someone hug her from behind, and then a loving voice rang in her ears.
"I've finally waited for you, Kiana. Now no one can stop me from being with you."
Yulandel quickly broke free and turned around to look behind her. She then saw a black-haired woman wearing a tattered black wedding dress.
The dark eyes of the creature gazed at Yulandal with loving eyes and crimson pupils. The feeling of being watched by a dangerous creature sent chills down Yulandal's spine.
"You're Janna, the planetary-level Honkai Beast?"
Kiana stepped forward and blocked Durandal's view, preventing Janna from seeing her.
Janna first glanced at Kiana with displeasure, then let out a soft exclamation.
"Kiana, when did you have offspring? And why has your hair turned blonde?"
Before anyone else could speak, Janna once again uttered something surprising.
"But it's alright, I can accept all of this. Kiana, I will love you and your offspring equally!"
