No, is the Raiden Family really that rich?!
Who exactly is the decadent aristocratic class?!
"These can all be yours."
"Gold is hard currency. As for industries and US dollars, I think you know how to convert them into resources."
The man, who had long ago sworn to dedicate his life to the Anti-Entropy cause, looked at the boxes with a complex expression.
He had thought himself invulnerable.
But, the moment he saw his daughter, he understood his own vulnerability.
He hoped Mei could live a stable life.
The man opened the last box. Inside, a long blade, designed from its inception to counter Herrschers, lay quietly.
Raiden Ryoma drew the blade, and its coldness brought him a sense of familiarity.
It was his greatest masterpiece.
The moment he used the Gem of Conquest to extend his daughter's life, he had prepared for a decisive battle with the Herrscher of Thunder.
And now, it was time for it to have a new master.
Raiden Ryoma sheathed the katana and pushed it towards Luo Su.
"Take these and my daughter, and leave this Honkai World completely."
Chapter 44: Courting Her Will Land You in Jail!!
[Plasma kagehide]
[Raiden Ryoma's ultimate masterpiece, designed with the strength of the Judgement of Shamash and the Star of Eden from his memory. Its output rivals a normal God Key, intended to one day strike down the God occupying his daughter's body.]
[But unfortunately, Raiden Ryoma does not know that a God Key only rivals a Herrscher when its zero-rated power is activated.]
[Therefore, this blade is absolutely no match for the Herrscher of Thunder.]
[Note: Mr. Ryoma, here is your blade. Your precious daughter has become a complete Herrscher of Thunder. Please begin your performance.]
[Note 2: Although this blade cannot defeat the Herrscher of Thunder, possessing it carries an ambiguous meaning. Taking this blade can advance Raiden Mei's capture progress bar to eighty percent.]
[Exit the ME company gate, turn left, there's a department store. You can buy a green hat and give it to Kiana. She should like it.]
[Note 3: Exit this room, turn right, there's an IT studio. In the studio, there are 120 mechanical keyboards. Lord Luo, please begin your performance.]
Damn.
That was too hasty.
Luo Su looked at the blade, feeling that when he made his vow, he really shouldn't have been so absolute.
But, fortunately, only the prompter knew Luo Su had made a vow.
So, it could be treated as if nothing had happened.
[Tsk—]
The prompter let out a disdainful sound.
[You're such a sore loser. You just made a vow, and now you're swallowing it. Aren't you afraid of getting fat like a pig?]
"If I get fat, I get fat. Anyway, I can transfer it to my tail. My tail is a bit thin, it doesn't look very good. Hmm, thickening it up isn't bad, and it can nourish the fur on my tail at the same time."
"Besides, Raiden Mei and I haven't even started anything yet, so why talk about eating keyboards alive?"
Luo Su continued to argue with the prompter, then used the Chat Group to take a photo and send it to Raiden Mei.
"Your father wants me to be your guardian from now on."
"Hmm, it's like he wants me to help you manage your assets and give you pocket money monthly. But first, let me say, even if your father gives me a lot of money, I won't pick you up or drop you off at school."
"He seems to have already asked someone to buy yellow paper and Akun. I suspect he wants to become sworn brothers with me."
"Huh?"
Her own dad wants to become sworn brothers with Luo Su?!
Thinking about possibly having to call her friends in the group 'Godfather' in the future, Raiden Mei felt as if a hundred Huskies were howling in her brain, and a thousand fireworks were exploding, her thoughts and rationality instantly shattered.
It was too ridiculous.
Absolutely too ridiculous.
"Father, what are you talking about with Luo Su?"
"Don't you think it's strange to become sworn brothers with your daughter's friend?"
Raiden Mei also felt a tingling scalp and rushed in.
Raiden Ryoma looked at his aggressive daughter in astonishment, then glanced at Luo Su beside him.
He seemed to realize something.
Then, he said nothing more.
[You just snapped the steel wire tied by the Matchmaker!]
The prompter felt its heart twitching.
[Isn't it just to avoid gnawing on keyboards? Is it worth such a huge price?]
"I think, if the prerequisite for courting a beautiful girl is to eat 120 keyboards raw, most people would back down."
Luo Su said jokingly.
Then, he stretched.
He had been reminded by the prompter that he was about to encounter a rosy romance.
But when he came to see, it was a parental match.
That was a bit uninteresting.
"Besides, the most captivating part of a beautiful girl should be the blush on her face and her shyness, not just a pretty face."
"You also said that my love luck is strong today. Since there are more choices, why choose one without an emotional foundation?"
Luo Su shrugged, then threw a talisman to Raiden Ryoma.
"Noble horses can repel all external forces. You can try to remove the thing inside Raiden Mei's body."
"Also, this broken blade can't defeat the Herrscher of Thunder at all. Anyone who truly believed you and used this to fight the Herrscher of Thunder would have their head twisted off."
The young man naturally pulled out the Plasma kagehide and hung it at his waist.
"I'll take this semi-finished product as my consultation fee, no objections, right? After all, it has lost its original meaning; it's just an ordinary blade now."
Raiden Ryoma nodded silently.
Then, while Raiden Mei was bewildered, he pulled her to another place.
"You should remind me where my next romantic encounter is."
Luo Su shrugged, asking.
[Approximate location... in Vienna.]
[Hmm, your cheap adopted daughter is really scared. Hmm, she always thinks you're eyeing her mom and wants you to quickly find a new target.]
[Hmm, she has already arranged eighteen blind dates for you. The dates range from sixteen to thirty-six years old, and there's even an old antique over fifty thousand years old. As long as you appear before her, you'll be dragged to blind dates until you get married.]
Good heavens.
Luo Su couldn't help but applaud Durandal's efficiency.
[Do you want to go? Durandal's choices are all very high quality. After all, in her eyes, you're secretly in love with her biological mother—the light of the previous generation's Destined One. So, she's only found super beauties.]
"No!!"
Luo Su decisively ignored Durandal's efforts.
Please, what he feared most right now was Durandal suddenly realizing and giving him two solid punches.
And now, he should go meet her?
Isn't that just asking for a beating?
"Is there anything else? I feel like my love luck should be quite strong today; I'm sure I can find a partner."
Luo Su looked at the prompter again, asking it to continue providing him with dating strategies.
Hearing this, the prompter became a little exasperated.
[Damn, you ****, you've only lived here for less than three days. Where am I supposed to find you a red thread?!]
It seemed the prompter had no more leads.
"Then I'm going back."
Luo Su, as if it were only natural, prepared to go home and sleep.
[No, if I had to say, there's actually another girl here in Chang Kong City who has a very strong emotional connection with you... it's just that the color isn't red. If you can turn her resentment towards you around and make her feel warmth, she would be a very loyal partner... it's just that it might be very awkward to see Mei later.]
As Luo Su was preparing to head back, the prompter continued to speak.
No, there's more?
Even Luo Su was a little astonished.
He truly admired the prompter.
He had only been in the Honkai World for a few days, and he was on a mission, not interacting much with people, yet this guy could still provide three consecutive leads.
However, wasn't the description for this third lead a bit off?
Has strong resentment towards him... craves warmth... would be awkward to see Raiden Mei...
"Kiana?"
Luo Su asked tentatively.
[Correct answer.]
Luo Su's eyes widened.
Damn.
Courting her will land you in jail!!
Chapter 45: Kiana, You Don't Want Me to Marry Mei, Right?
Kiana Kaslana.
The protagonist of the Honkai series.
To be a protagonist these days, one must have a somewhat extraordinary background.
Kiana is not a natural human; she is an artificial human.
Bishop Otto, in order to explore the mysteries of life and death, chose to implant the core of the Herrscher of the Void into a genetically modified human, a fusion of Sirin and Siegfried's daughter.
In 2006, a soul named Sirin was able to match a brand new body.
This was Kiana Kaslana.
It is now 2014.
Her physical age is only eight years old.
Luo Su looked at his prompter, thinking, you might as well let me pursue Banya. Banya is fourteen, and by Russia's strange calculations, she's considered an adult. But Kiana is different; even if you drag her to Russia, her age would still be far too young.
[A normally developing child's mind cannot reach her level in eight years. Her essence is Sirin in a second playthrough.]
[To be honest, Kiana's family background and talent far surpass Mei's. What you can gain by courting her is much more satisfying than exploding Raiden Ryoma's gold coins.]
The prompter, as always, began by analyzing the charms of beautiful girls from an economic perspective.
When put that way, it seemed Kiana really was a wonderful girl.
Luo Su was slightly tempted.
[Of course, how to prove she is Sirin is your business. If you get taken down by the German police because you can't prove Kiana is Sirin, I can only say I'll do my best to reincarnate you as your wife's child.]
