Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

"Hehehe..." Anna scratched the back of her head embarrassedly.

This feeling is quite amazing.

"I've been training hard all along, but I'm so happy that the results of my 'secret training' were recognized by Lady Kiana!"

"Laugh if you want to. Why are you pretending to be reserved when your mouth is stretched to your ears?" Kiana poked Anna's head.

I don't know if it's because Anna spent too much time with Qibao when she was a child, and the "Shaniat" factor in her body was absorbed by Qibao.

In recent years, Qibao has gradually grown up and his personality has become a little more stable.

The Shaniyat, who was quite steady and polite when I first met him as a child, is now becoming more and more like Kaslana.

"Hehehe..." After hearing what Kiana said, Anna couldn't stop laughing.

"I've seen your performance, it's really good... But fighting a real Honkai beast is not as simple as the [Memory Battlefield]. Your strength is good, but you must also be more careful." Not to mention Anna, a Valkyrie who can possess S-level strength in a short period of time.

Even the few, more traditional S-class Valkyries among the Destined ones sometimes encounter some very tricky Honkai beasts.

"Yes!" Seeing Kiana reminding herself so seriously, Anna slowly put away the smile on her face and responded to Kiana seriously.

"Next... Sister Cecilia should arrange a garrison mission for you in a certain city." Kiana told Anna about the possible arrangements.

Although the garrison mission is not difficult, it is relatively complicated.

'Collapse' is very complex. It is everywhere and affects human civilization all the time.

In fact, those who like war in history have more or less "excessive" Honkai energy in their bodies compared to ordinary people, whether they are male or female.

In addition, people with overly extreme or violent personalities are likely to have excessive Honkai energy in their bodies.

The most typical example is actually Asakura Miyuki.

Therefore, the more developed a city is, the more Valkyries it needs to be stationed there.

They will deal with these troublesome guys and also find ways to remove the Honkai energy in their bodies...so sometimes there will be a situation where 'the people around them suddenly wake up'.

"I understand." Anna nodded. She accepted all the arrangements. As long as she didn't have to stay in school, she would be willing to take online classes every day even after becoming an official Valkyrie.

By the way, although St. Freya is a school that trains Valkyries, it can also issue "high school diplomas".

Not only that, the value of Saint Freya's diploma is very high. If the Valkyrie is willing, she can go to college or even graduate school while being a Valkyrie.

And because of the special nature of the Valkyries, the Valkyries who graduated from St. Freya Academy would not have any problems with insufficient class hours, as long as they could pass the exams when the time came.

"Okay." Kiana nodded with satisfaction.

After seeing Anna off, the next Valkyrie to take the test was also a semi-acquaintance of Kiana.

"Lady Kiana?!" The girl screamed when she saw Kiana.

"You... I remember you are Anna's roommate, right? Your name is... Cream Chocolate?" Looking at the girl in front of her, Kiana thought for a moment about the name she had seen on the doorplate before.

"Lady Kiana, do you actually remember me?!" the girl widened her eyes and shouted in disbelief.

"Hmm... after all, your name is really a bit... sweet?" After thinking for a moment, Kiana used a rather strange word to describe the girl's name.

"Ahaha~ That's right." Miss Cream Chocolate scratched her cheek.

B.102 was interviewed by Cecilia

"Kiana, bring Xilin with you in the evening." On the last day of 2013, Cecilia said to Kiana.

"Got it, Sister Cecilia." Kiana nodded after hearing Cecilia's instructions. "Come to think of it, I thought Mei would spend the New Year at Saint Freya this year."

"After all, Mei has never really left her parents' side. Although she has only been in Saint Freya for less than a month, it is normal for her to want to go back and spend the New Year with her parents." Cecilia said with a smile. "And I heard that although Mr. Raiden Ryoma is usually very strict, he will go home to spend important holidays with his wife and daughter."

"From this point of view, he is quite similar to Uncle Siegfried." Kiana said with her arms crossed.

Although so many years have passed, Kiana still remembers the life she once lived on the snowfield with Siegfried.

On her birthday, no matter what Siegfried was doing, he would definitely return home before that day and give Kiana a gift.

And on New Year's Day, 'Siegfried' will definitely celebrate the New Year with Kiana.

"Yeah, that's true." Cecilia smiled and nodded. "That's what Siegfried is like..."

Cecilia stopped talking halfway through her sentence, and Kiana smiled knowingly.

Although Siegfried and Raiden Ryoma are completely different types of men, they are surprisingly similar in some ways.

"This is the best." Kiana thought silently in her heart.

For Kiana, Cecilia, Siegfried, Qibao, Theresa... can get together to celebrate birthdays and New Year... This is her best reward.

Even though she might never be able to return to her 'original world', the happiness she experienced in this world was something Kiana could never even dream of.

"Speaking of which, Kiana you..." Cecilia looked at Kiana and pursed her lips somewhat unnaturally.

According to Cecilia and Siegfried's speculation, Kiana is a daughter who traveled through time and space.

But in terms of age, Kiana was eighteen years old when she came into this world, and thirteen years later, she is thirty-one years old...

"What's wrong, Sister Cecilia?" Kiana blinked in confusion. "Why are you saying half of the sentence?"

Kiana had already guessed what Cecilia and Siegfried thought of her... but they must have equated her with Qibao...

Although it might be a little cunning, Kiana really didn't want to tell anyone about her true identity, even though she no longer cared about it.

"No, nothing." Cecilia shook her head. "I don't know what the taboos are for this child to travel through time..."

Cecilia felt that Siegfried's guess made sense. After all, Cecilia felt that although Kiana sometimes acted a little dull, she was actually a very smart child. She must have thought of her and Siegfried's guess.

But she had never talked to them about her 'real identity', so Cecilia also felt that this should be a taboo.

For this reason, she and Siegfried never mentioned these things to Kiana.

but...

"This child is already thirty years old..." Cecilia had long wanted to urge Kiana to get married, but because of Kiana's special status, she had never mentioned this to Kiana. "And this child has lived with Xilin for so long..."

Cecilia didn't know about Xilin's physical condition, so she felt that Kiana and Xilin had lived together for thirteen years, and they should have done all the bad things they could have done.

"Alas... What should I do..."

"Sister Cecilia, what do you want to say?" Kiana, who was about to get up and go home, heard Cecilia's slight sigh and sat back on the chair she had just left. "Are you trying to ask about my identity?"

There aren't many things that can make Cecilia so embarrassed...

'Yes, today is the last day of 2013, so it's normal to have some questions...'

'If Mother Cecilia really wants to ask...'

Although Kiana would not say that she was the rebirth of Sirin's soul, in front of Cecilia...she did not have to hide her identity as a synthetic human.

Because she is Cecilia, Kiana doesn't want to deceive her about some of her identities.

"Well... Actually, what I want to ask..." Cecilia pursed her lips, considering her next words.

"It's coming. I guess they're going to ask me if I'm a time traveler." Kiana was ready.

"Kiana, you and Xilin are lovers, right?" Cecilia asked a little embarrassedly.

"Yeah..." Kiana nodded desperately, even though her eyes suddenly widened. "Huh?"

Kiana never expected that the questions Cecilia was going to ask would be completely different from what she imagined!

"Huh, as expected." Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief. Since they were lovers, the next topic would be easy to deal with.

"No, that's not it!" Kiana shouted loudly. "I didn't expect that this is what you were going to ask, Sister Cecilia!"

"Hmm? What did Kiana think I was going to ask?" Cecilia tilted her head in confusion. "And Kiana, you nodded in agreement as if you were going to burn your boats..."

Cecilia was a little curious about what Kiana had to admit to have that kind of momentum just now.

"Um..." Kiana opened her eyes wide, not knowing what to say to cover up this strange topic. "I...that..."

"Forget it. If you're so conflicted, just don't say it." Cecilia generously let Kiana go.

"Yeah..." Kiana breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, Kiana, you and Silin are lovers, right?" Cecilia changed the subject, and even stood up and sat next to Kiana.

"Uh... don't sit so close!" Kiana, who was already under a lot of pressure, was now even more stressed.

"Qiana, you are 31 and will soon be 32. We have watched Xilin grow up." Cecilia said to Qiana earnestly. "In fact, everyone can see that Xilin likes you very much."

"Besides, for Xilin...she seems to feel happy just to see you every day."

"Ah? Is that so?" Kiana blinked. Just based on Xilin's attitude when she saw her every day, that's called 'being happy just to see'?

"..." Cecilia shook her head speechlessly. "And think about it, Kiana. Xilin and you have been together for almost fourteen years... Isn't it about time that you give that child a name?"

As a Valkyrie, it is normal to be lewd, so Cecilia has no discrimination or disapproval towards these things!

"What?"

B.103 Mother-daughter meeting

"Wait...wait a moment, Sister Cecilia! The topic jumps too fast, I can't keep up!" Kiana shouted loudly, trying to divert Cecilia from the strange topic.

"I mean." Cecilia held Kiana's shoulders. "Although you are both girls, you may not care so much about each other."

Perhaps it was because 'Saint Freya' was closer to the Far East and Shenzhou, and Cecilia guessed that Kiana had lived in 'Saint Freya' for a long time in the 'original world', so some of her concepts were closer to Shenzhou and the Far East.

To put it simply, Kiana may care a lot about the issue of "gender", and Kiana does indeed behave that way.

On the other hand, he is more relaxed when interacting with girls.

"But Kiana... your and Silin's identities belong to Destiny, and in Destiny, girls can get married to other girls." Cecilia said earnestly. "I can see that you don't like boys, right?"

"Um, this..."

"It's okay, but you have lived with Xilin for so long, and Xilin has never complained to you about these things, right?" Cecilia knew Xilin quite well. Xilin definitely had never told Kiana about getting married.

But it is precisely because of this that Cecilia feels a little sorry for Xilin.

After all...even if both parties are girls, status is a relatively important thing, but Xilin has never mentioned these things and has still been with Kiana for more than ten years.

"But Kiana, just because Xilin didn't mention it doesn't mean she doesn't care." Cecilia gently squeezed Kiana's shoulder. "You seem to be the more proactive one."

Although Cecilia thought this was normal, she was still embarrassed to say some words when chatting with her "daughter", so she could only use metaphors.

"In that case, Kiana, you should also take responsibility for Xilin."

"Um, oh...ah?" Kiana, feeling uncomfortable with Cecilia's sharp gaze, responded with a few words reluctantly.

She knew that it was useless for her to explain now, so she could only wait until Cecilia's "overheating" cooled down before talking again.

"I never thought that I would be urged to get married one day, and to Sirin..." Kiana cried out in her mind that she was wronged, she had done nothing wrong!

After about half a minute, Cecilia calmed down a lot.

In fact, Cecilia had started to worry about these things since Kiana was 28 years old, which was the tenth year since Kiana came into this world.

But because of Kiana's special identity, Cecilia always kept these things in mind and didn't dare to mention it to Kiana.

But as time went on, Kiana seemed to have no such thoughts at all... Cecilia had also held back today.

If Kiana hadn't felt that Cecilia had something to say and planned to chat with Cecilia for a while, Cecilia wouldn't have mentioned these things today.

But once it was brought up, a lot of words came out like a dam bursting.

"Sorry Kiana..." Cecilia apologized sheepishly.

Although Kiana calls Cecilia "Sister Cecilia", and more importantly, Kiana's age is actually not much different from Cecilia's.

To the extent that Kiana would not act coquettishly towards Cecilia at all, which was a pity for Cecilia.

"It's okay, Sister Cecilia." Kiana waved her hands with a headache. "Actually, the relationship between Xilin and I is not what you think, Sister Cecilia."

"Huh?" Cecilia looked at Kiana, her eyes widened in disbelief. "You and Xilin...didn't...huh?"

"No!" Cecilia's unbelievable and overly smart expression made Kiana yell in embarrassment. "I really didn't do...that...that with Xilin!"

"..." Cecilia looked away guiltily and pressed her lips with her fingers. 'Oh my God...what did I just say...'

Although Cecilia did acknowledge that Kiana was her daughter, the age difference was not that big after all, so when Cecilia and Kiana chatted, they usually chatted as peers.
