St. Freya High School's basement... Theresa sealed Kiana's, as well as various weapons accumulated by generations of the Kaslana family, here. It was also a storage room made of special materials... After all, those weapons were created by the Kaslana family using 'magic' and utilizing Honkai energy to twist the rules...
And even Theresa didn't quite understand what these weapons were... They seemed to be derived from myths and legends or were just ordinary weapons...
"Little Sora, how is it? Can you dig through it?" Kiana stared at the Raccoon Girl's back and asked with some worry.
At this moment, they were squatting in front of the underground storage room of St. Freya High School. The door to the room storing Kiana's weapons was made of a new special alloy developed by the technology department. Its hardness even surpassed that of so-called diamonds... It was only a big chunk weaker than 'Soul Steel', couldn't conduct Honkai energy, and would be quickly eroded under high concentrations of Honkai energy...
Although this special alloy, codenamed 021, was not used for Valkyrie weapons or other Honkai experiments, it had quite good uses in other aspects... for example... anti-theft doors.
"Mm... I... I can dig through it... but..." the Raccoon Girl said with some trepidation. It raised the small shovel in its hand... the shovel was a piece of gravel the size of a small pebble... In contrast, looking at the door which was a full 20 centimeters thick, the Raccoon Girl felt a deep sense of despair... Although it could destroy the door, it might take a full hour...
This could be considered the toughest battle in its career...
"..." Li Xuan stood silently behind them, watching the two of them discuss... God knows why he was roped in by Kiana to fill the numbers...
"Sigh~" Li Xuan let out a deep sigh. He was too naive to have followed Kiana all the way here, thinking she had some small matter to attend to... However, Kiana's expression of 'let's go for a walk together' was truly deceptive... Before he knew it, he had boarded a pirate ship.
'But... isn't this the place Theresa brought me to before?.....' Li Xuan glanced at the room next to the one Kiana was squatting in front of. Wasn't this the room Theresa had brought him to just the day before yesterday to get more than ten thousand Crystals?
"I didn't expect... they're actually neighbors..." Li Xuan muttered to himself.
"Hey, Li Xuan." Kiana turned around and shouted somewhat impatiently, "Do you have any way to open this door?" Kiana felt very helpless. If she had to wait another hour for the Raccoon Girl to dig through the door on its own... even a fool like her would know that this matter might be discovered by Mei, who was waiting for her for dinner...
"Gulp~" At the thought of Mei's iron fist of justice, Kiana swallowed and couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"..." You're asking me about this kind of thing, didn't you think it through properly before you came out?! Li Xuan felt a deep sense of worry for the future of a certain white-haired furball.
"You can just dig a tunnel..." Li Xuan said casually.
"!!" Li Xuan's words echoed in Kiana's ears like a deafening bell. Her eyes lit up... Although the door of the room was made of super alloy and would be difficult to dig through... the floor of the room couldn't possibly be made of that expensive alloy... Her great-aunt Theresa would definitely be heartbroken to death!
So... the floor was just made of ordinary steel... The designer probably never imagined that someone would dig a tunnel to get in, such an unconventional and bizarre idea... After all, the floor was made of steel plates, who would dig through steel plates for no reason?!
"Go! Little Sora!" Kiana patted the Raccoon Girl's head in front of her, pointed her finger at the floor... of the door in front of them, and said with great heroic spirit.
"Yes, Lady Kiana!" The Raccoon Girl also suddenly went crazy and shouted, the small shovel in its hand flashing with a sharp light... This small shovel, made of an unknown material that had been with it since birth, was swung with force by the Raccoon Girl and viciously stabbed at the floor paved with thick steel plates...
"Pfft!" As if a hot, sharp blade had pierced into butter, the small shovel entered the steel plate as if it were nothing, digging out a piece the size of a fist as if it were jelly.
"Showtime!... Go for it, Little Sora!" Kiana sat calmly on the floor and cheered on the hard-working Raccoon Girl.
"Yes, Lady Kiana!" To Li Xuan's surprise, the inexplicably fired-up Raccoon Girl began to swing its small shovel rapidly. The grayish-black shovel even formed a series of dizzying afterimages...
Under the Raccoon Girl's vigorous digging, the silvery-white steel floor was continuously dug down at a speed visible to the naked eye. The Raccoon Girl's body gradually sank into the ground, and iron blocks were constantly being shoveled out from both sides of its body. The large and small iron blocks piled up together, forming a small mountain beside it.
"..." Unbelievable... Li Xuan stared blankly as the Raccoon Girl really used a small shovel to dig a big pit, and it was getting deeper and deeper, even its figure was starting to disappear into the pit.
"It's through!" In just two or three minutes, the Raccoon Girl, who had maxed out its digging skills, cleanly dug through the ground under the door, creating a passage between the outside and the inside... hmm, the kind that resembles a doggy door...
"Alright!..." Kiana looked excitedly at the successfully dug passage, bent down, and without a second thought, crawled directly into the hole, shouting loudly, "The Kaslana family's treasury, here I come! Haha~"
"Hey hey!~ It got stuck a bit... hiss, that hurts..." Kiana seemed to have gotten stuck because the hole was a bit narrow and cried out in pain... but she still managed to squeeze in with nimble hands and feet...
"...The Kaslana family's treasury..." It sounded quite appealing... Li Xuan looked at the exposed hole at his feet with some hesitation in his eyes... but he still gritted his teeth and followed Kiana in.
Even he was curious about what the so-called 'treasury' was...
Perhaps because he was relatively slender... Li Xuan actually crawled through the tunnel with ease... Then he struggled to climb out of the hole in the ground.
"Hmm? What's wrong?..." Kiana, who was expected to be noisy, was standing quietly, staring blankly ahead...
"How is it?... What treasury..." Because Kiana was standing in front of Li Xuan, he didn't see the 'treasury' Kiana was talking about at first glance.
"Let me see..." Li Xuan stood up straight and peered over Kiana's shoulder to look ahead.....
"...?!" Li Xuan's eyes widened and he couldn't help but shout out the name of the first weapon that came into his sight. "Gatling?!..."
