Chapter 3: Living Together So Quickly

Kiana Kaslana lay somewhat depressed on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

For the past few days, she had been searching for the mysterious girl Luo Lin who she had encountered in the city, especially near the milk tea shop where they first met.

However, despite waiting for a long time near the shop, she hadn't seen her again. In addition to her daily search for clues about her wandering father, finding delicious food, and sticking with cute girls, Kiana hadn't been so interested in something for a long time...

Wait, can this be summarized as sticking with cute girls?

Kiana rubbed her chin, pondering for a few seconds. "No, it's different..."

That girl from Shenzou was indeed a beautiful girl, and her appearance and figure were within Kiana's prey range, but the name Luo Lin... seemed familiar... and the warmth she felt from her...

If she couldn't figure out these questions, Kiana feared she wouldn't be able to stick with cute girls wholeheartedly.

Sticking with cute girls was a serious and earnest matter! (Tuna with a serious face)

But where exactly did she recognize this name from?

Kiana was a bit puzzled.

Perhaps it was because she had lost her memory due to an accident when she was a child, and her memories of childhood were a blank slate.

As she grew a little older, Kiana and her father lived in the snowy European wilderness, but the specific scenes... to be honest, after so long, she couldn't remember clearly.

She knew those were happy and joyful days, playing in the peaceful and tranquil village with snowball fights, building snowmen, playing with other children, and there were endless snacks and cookies...

But there seemed to be a force preventing Kiana from delving into how those days were exactly like, whenever she tried to think about it, her mind became chaotic—she had tried to carefully recall, but the result was often her brain getting overloaded and dizzy.

Perhaps this was a side effect of the accident that caused her amnesia?

Kiana rubbed her temples and sighed. "When will you transfer to the Senba Academy..."

"Beep beep beep~"

Kiana's phone rang, and Kiana impatiently lit up the screen, finding it was a text from the landlord.

"Ah, turns out it's just a new roommate getting ready to move in... Phew, I thought the rent was going up..."

Kiana stretched lazily, then suddenly realized, freezing in place.

"A new roommate?!"

She flipped over and grabbed her phone to read it carefully.

Of course, Senba Academy provided accommodation, but the dormitory prices perfectly matched the high-end private academy's style. Although Kiana's father left her a lot of money, Kiana thought the dormitory wasn't worth that price after inspecting it.

Kiana had traveled from Europe to the Far East, experiencing all sorts of things, so she naturally understood the importance of money. She needed to save where she could, and even worked part-time to subsidize her life.

So she rented a house outside the Academy.

The house she rented was a bit far from the school, so she rode her bike to school every day. If she felt like it (meaning if she felt like sleeping in), she would take the subway to school.

So, what kind of person would the new roommate be in this somewhat awkward situation?

A day later, Kiana welcomed an unexpected guest.

"Luo Lin, it's you!"

"Wow! Kiana!"

Luo Lin stood at the door with her suitcase, pretending to look surprised.

When Kiana was looking for her, Luo Lin was also locating Kiana.

After completing the task of "taking" money from those friendly, energetic social groups' pockets, Luo Lin spent some time tying up loose ends and maintaining relationships to make the money look clean...

Then she found out the system had already arranged her into Senba Academy. So Luo Lin's hand holding the money paused in mid-air, regretting not being able to use these things to slap the faces of the directors and principals fiercely, as well as the means taught by the intelligence department, making them kneel and beg for mercy under the threat of money and power.

Is that satisfying? Yes! That's too satisfying!

But this saved Luo Lin a lot of effort. She could free up her hands to find Kiana's location, and then...

"I never expected us to meet again like this..."

Kiana handed Luo Lin a glass of water, and the girl took the glass, looking around the environment.

This was a two-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen, one-bathroom house. Kiana's bedroom door was slightly closed, and the other bedroom was locked, indicating it hadn't been used in a long time.

The kitchen utensils were all complete, pots, bowls, spoons, and pans were all there, but it seemed they hadn't been used much. The sink, water dispenser, and refrigerator were shiny and well-maintained, probably because Kiana used more instant noodles, ice cream, and snacks.

It seemed that because she knew there was a new roommate coming, Kiana specially cleaned up the room, making it look clean and tidy.

But due to the special garbage disposal policy in the Far East, several large garbage bags couldn't be thrown directly, so they were placed in the corner. Luo Lin could see full of fast food boxes, instant noodle bowls, and cola cans inside...

"Kiana, do you usually not cook at home? There are quite a few takeout boxes..."

"Cooking, um..."

Kiana scratched her head, laughing dryly. "About that... I don't really like cooking, and the food I make can only feed people..."

Feed people? Just enough to not starve, right?

Don't let Kaslana into the kitchen!

Luo Lin nodded, then glanced at the bathroom and bedroom—there was a bathtub in the bathroom, but it could only accommodate one person. There was some dust in the bedroom, there was a desk and a spacious wardrobe, and there was a set of bedding on the single bed, but it needed to be cleaned before using.

"The conditions are better than I thought... I thought I had to buy my own bedding."

"No, it's not exaggerated to that extent..."

Luo Lin called back the landlord, reached an agreement with him in Kiana's expectant eyes, and prepared to come over and go through various contracts...

At night, after helping Luo Lin tidy up the bedroom, Kiana sighed contentedly.

"Thank you."

Luo Lin sincerely thanked Kiana, almost grabbing her to finish the chores.

"It's nothing, isn't it normal for Kaslana Knight to help others?" Kiana patted her chest with a thud.

"Knights...?" Luo Lin rubbed her chin, "I remember you said you were European, are you a noble in the stories?"

"You've got a good eye! My old man told me that our family has been passed down for at least five hundred years!"

Kiana snapped her fingers cheerfully, introducing her glorious identity and raising her arm, gesturing a powerful pose!

"Awesome!"

Luo Lin looked at the dimming sky outside the window, scratched her head helplessly, "I didn't expect it to be so late already? Most restaurants should be closed by now..."

"Ah, you don't know about this. I'm very familiar with the places to eat around here..."

Kiana licked her lips. As a person flowing with Kaslana blood, she still maintained the minimum exercise to prevent her body functions from deteriorating, so she ate a lot...

Eating a lot, not cooking, naturally she would figure out the situation around the restaurants.

With Kiana leading Luo Lin through the streets and alleys, the restaurant owners they met greeted them as if they had met the god of wealth—this was a heavyweight customer, who ate a lot, paid quickly, naturally everyone was familiar with her!

"Let's eat here today..."

"Ha ha, Kiana, are you here? Same as usual?"

"Kiana, let me treat you today, thanks for helping out..." Luo Lin said.

"Huh? But I eat a lot..."

"As long as you don't order something particularly expensive, I should be able to afford it..."

"Then I won't be polite! Two bowls of beef rice first! This is the specialty of this place!"

"Miss, what about you?"

Luo Lin looked at the waiter next to her, who was sweating profusely. Just looking at the huge bowl in his hand, she could feel the weight of it was definitely solid... and what was Kiana's wording?

[First] two bowls?

The girl shook her head and said, "I'll have a bowl of beef rice too."

"Alright! Coming right up!"

It was a dinner that opened Luo Lin's eyes.

Kiana swept the table clean, not even a speck of rice left!

It made the shop owner and customers marvel, expressing that she was indeed a "White Gourmet", "Gourmet Hunter", "Chef Pressure Cooker"...

Luo Lin's face was solemn, Kiana's skill was as strong as ever!

After eating and drinking their fill, the two returned to the room, washed up, and each went back to their respective bedrooms.

Luo Lin looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, finally relaxed, closed her eyes, and sank her consciousness into the long-lost system space.

"Dear Abyss, your grandpa is back!"
