Chapter 49: Kiana's "Withdrawal Reaction"
Was it just some intuition that told her that Elysia might be hiding something?
But Kiana couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, and there was no reason for Elysia to hide anything from her.
She simply transformed this intuitive suspicion into the fact that she was becoming more and more sensitive these days because the baby in her belly was growing bigger.
Kiana had indeed become more sensitive in the past few days.
After being in this world for such a long time, Kiana has actually confirmed that, apart from herself, there is no Valkyrie in this world who has memories of another world.
She also secretly followed Durandal and Rita. Although these two were very strong compared to ordinary people, they were still within the range of ordinary people.
Their fighting style is also more like that of an ordinary soldier rather than a Valkyrie.
Kiana may be more like an ordinary person in terms of IQ, but her sensitivity in combat is absolute.
Therefore, it is very easy to judge whether a person is acting from some details of the battle. After all, some habitual small movements are engraved in muscle memory and cannot be changed at all.
As for Elysia, there are the Thirteen Flame-Chasers besides Kevin.
Kiana didn't know much about the others, having only heard some information from Mei before the final battle.
After getting to know them in this world, she found that these guys are a very interesting group of people.
The crowd did not waste much time at the roadside food stalls.
If she went back late, Cecilia and Durandal would definitely wear out Kiana's ears with their nagging.
"Baby, baby... when will you come out? Then mommy will be free." On the way home, Kiana, pregnant with her big belly, lamented. She had never thought that one day walking would become a burden for her.
It felt like being filled with lead, so uncomfortable...
"Don't worry, the doctor said the due date is still more than a month away." Sora walked beside Kiana and whispered, "We have already gone through nine-tenths of the long journey. Keep working hard, my dear wife. Now we are only one step away from success."
"Captain, I want to eat ice cream, drink soda, eat potato chips and snacks, and I also want to eat hot pot, the super spicy kind..." As Kiana thought about it, her eyes began to dull.
A trace of saliva couldn't help but flow down from the corner of her mouth.
"My dear wife, please bear with it for a while. You've endured the first nine months. Bear with it for another month until the baby is born and you finish the confinement period." Sora made a serious promise to Kiana, "Then we'll go have a big meal together!"
To be honest, he has always admired Kiana's perseverance. Kiana, who has the personality of a little girl, simply cannot live without snacks.
But unexpectedly, since the moment she knew she was pregnant, she really gave up those messy snacks.
She had been patient until now, nine months later, and only now did she slowly begin to miss the days when she could drink soda and eat snacks freely.
But Sora never knew that his wife actually had a trick up her sleeve.
The snacks and soda that Kiana can't get in this world, she would go to great lengths to make up for them in another world.
It was precisely because of this that Mei in the other world noticed something going on. She finally sneaked into the room and confiscated all of Kiana's snacks...
Now, Kiana had no way to eat snacks in either world.
In addition, she was used to eating the captain's "ham sausage," so she couldn't have real "meat" for a while and relied on some snacks to keep herself going.
But now, under this double blow—mental and physical...
That's why Kiana was experiencing some "withdrawal symptoms."
Kiana touched her belly and thought, "Baby, even the Honkai, it didn't make your mother so embarrassed. But you managed to do it so easily."
"Mom has given so much for you..." she referred to not being able to eat snacks or drink soda.
"It just feels like there is a little life slowly forming in my belly, and this process is quite magical."
"There's a sense of accomplishment in being a mother... Is this what Cecilia felt when she was pregnant with me?"
The two of them slowly returned to the bedroom. Sora gently kissed Kiana on the forehead.
"Kiana, you go to sleep first. There are still some ingredients that haven't been prepared in the dessert shop downstairs," Sora said as he prepared to go downstairs.
Kiana lay on the bed and slowly closed her eyes. She said to Sora in a daze, "Don't overwork yourself. Go to bed early."
"Don't worry, my dear wife..."
......
When Kiana opened her eyes again, she had returned to the moon of another world.
She jumped high from the bed in a very cool manner, did a 360-degree somersault, and landed steadily on the ground.
This difficult move, like that of a professional gymnast, was easy for Kiana to perform.
"Huh, I finally feel relaxed." Every time Kiana returns to this world, she feels as if she has unlocked an invisible shackle.
After all, you can easily lose more than ten pounds of weight, even with just soup and water!
But what troubled Kiana was that, although her body in this world did not have a big belly, under the influence of certain hormones, it seemed to have the same reaction as pregnancy.
The most obvious thing is that, under the influence of the Honkai, her body, which had almost stopped growing...
Its chest armor strangely grew again. And Kiana also discovered something.
That is, the body of her Herrscher of the Finality is several times more sensitive than that of an ordinary body.
Obviously, the big-bellied body hadn't reacted yet, but the Herrscher of the Finality's "chest armor" actually started leaking fluid.
Kiana couldn't even imagine what she would be like if she faced the captain in this body on her wedding night.
Just thinking about it makes her excited... Ah, not afraid...
At this moment, Kiana's cell phone suddenly rang.
This is also thanks to the scientists from Anti-Entropy, who recently built a special signal base station on the moon.
Soon, more people would come here to carry out subsequent lunar construction work.
However, due to the special nature of the moon, it is destined that the number of people will not be too large, and most of the labor force will be replaced by intelligent robots.
Perhaps those combat mechas that once fought against entropy can have a second life in the civil engineering industry?
