Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

It was clearly an unfamiliar eye, but Xilin almost instinctively understood what it meant to have such an eye.

[The Herrscher of the End]

But why such a gentle gaze?

Such a thought emerged in Xilin's mind, and then disappeared completely.

Xilin's consciousness began to dissipate, and the dream space completely collapsed.

----

Coming out of the dream, Xilin slowly opened her eyes.

'I just...' Xilin couldn't quite remember what happened at the end of the dream.

The soft warmth on her face made Xilin a little confused.

Although the Herrscher does not need to breathe, the breathing instinct still exists, so when she felt a slight difficulty in breathing, Xilin raised her head slightly.

"Kiana?!" Sirin raised her head and saw Kiana standing nearby.

Such a distance made Xilin feel panic.

"What...what happened?!" The memory before falling asleep gradually returned, and Xilin remembered that she was lying on the sofa with Kiana before falling asleep.

After recalling everything, Xilin did not struggle from Kiana's arms, but looked at Kiana and stopped.

She hadn't been this close to Kiana in a long time.

Although when talking to the girl just now, Xilin firmly denied the possibility that Kiana was a scumbag.

But Xilin still felt somewhat concerned about the other party's words.

Xilin didn't understand why Kiana suddenly became close to her again today.

"What on earth are you thinking about?" Xilin's eyes slid down slightly, and finally stopped on Kiana's lips.

The Herrscher's ability to keep his body in optimal condition at all times did not disappear due to hibernation.

Kiana's lips did not become dry due to sleeping.

Kiana, who never even uses lipstick, seems to have a coveted luster reflecting on her light pink lips.

'Sizzle...'

Xilin pursed her lips almost instinctively and made a slight sound.

That gleam of light seemed to have a magnetic force that attracted Xilin's attention, making it impossible for her to look away.

"Or..." The words of the girl in the dream emerged in Xilin's mind. Although she couldn't do those things as the girl said.

but...

Once some thoughts arise, they cannot be eliminated no matter what.

'Maybe...' Xilin seemed to have forgotten something at this moment.

My brain was almost blank, with only the thought that had just arisen circling in my mind.

"Is this how it feels?" With just a slight change of angle, Xilin could easily reach what she wanted.

The feeling was different from what I had imagined. Apart from the strange emotions that kept coming out of my heart, the 'feeling' was nothing special.

The thought that had arisen was satisfied, and the previously uncontrollable thoughts dissipated.

Staring at Kiana's face, Xilin lowered her eyes after a moment.

B.108 Tangled

"Hmm~~~~" Kiana, who had a good sleep after work, suddenly started to act crazy.

"What's wrong with you?" Xilin, who had just done something bad, didn't feel guilty at all. She raised her head and said after hearing Kiana's crazy voice.

"Hehehe~" Kiana let out a silly laugh. "Oh~ How come there is such a comfortable pillow?"

Kiana said this, and then hugged Xilin and squirmed a few times.

"Giant snake entangles, rua!"

'Is this guy crazy? ' Feeling the body that was completely pressed against hers, Xilin had this thought in her mind.

"Alright, alright, I know you're sick." Xilin said quickly to comfort him.

"How can you say that?" Kiana recovered after her madness. "I haven't slept so comfortably in a long time."

"I don't feel comfortable at all." Xilin rolled her eyes, as if she had completely forgotten her behavior just now.

"Is this true?" Kiana widened her eyes.

Kiana was also well aware that she was not peaceful when she slept, so...it was possible that Xilin was made uncomfortable by her.

"..." Xilin said nothing, just pushed away Kiana's hand, stood up, and adjusted her clothes a little.

The Herrscher is a magical creature that can even restore its messy hair after waking up from sleep to normal by just shaking it a few times.

Although Xilin's hair has always been messy and a little natural, it doesn't look messy or frizzy.

"Ah, is it so late already?" Kiana looked at the time and found that it was almost time for dinner.

"Isn't it because you sleep like a dead pig?" Xilin curled the corners of her lips and said mockingly with a smile.

"What can I do?" Kiana stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Sirin's waist, resting her head on Sirin's lower back. "After all, it's really comfortable to hold you in my arms while sleeping like this."

This is true.

"Then... hum." Xilin wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips they turned into a snort.

"Really?" Kiana curled her lips and stood up, her bright white hair scattered around her body.

Kiana held all her hair in her hands and shook it randomly.

The hair that was tangled due to various restless behaviors during sleep became smooth as Kiana shook it randomly. Then a rubber band appeared in Kiana's hand and she tied her hair into the high ponytail she was accustomed to on weekdays.

"Ha~~Hmm~~~" Kiana stretched lazily, and then resurrected with a whoosh.

"..." Xilin shook her head speechlessly, once again confirming that Kiana was indeed sick.

'But...' Xilin's eyes quietly fell on Kiana's lips.

She briefly recalled her impulsive behavior not long ago.

There was nothing special about the touch, but the feeling of satisfaction that filled her heart after the touch made Xilin very concerned.

And now, Xilin could clearly feel that the inexplicable sense of satisfaction in her heart was gradually fading.

'I want to do it... again...' This thought came into Xilin's mind.

But reason told Xilin that this was not okay, and her sneaky behavior just now was already "bad".

Perhaps this is the case with creatures like Herrscher, who have the same desires as humans but are more powerful. But at the same time, compared to humans' self-control, the Herrscher's self-control seems to be weaker.

Xilin is not quite clear about the difference...

"Xilin, I'm going to change my clothes." Just as she was about to go out, Kiana suddenly found that there were many wrinkles on her clothes.

It must have been pressed out when I was sleeping just now.

"You are such a trouble." Xilin complained after glancing at Kiana.

"Wow?" Kiana opened her mouth in disbelief.

"Go quickly." Knowing that Kiana wanted to refute something, Xilin simply didn't give her a chance to speak. She waved her hand in disgust and drove Kiana away.

"?" Kiana pointed at herself and walked up the stairs.

...

......

"Oh my god!" Kiana touched her lips. "What...what's going on?!"

To be honest, even if she beat Kiana to death, she would never have thought that Xilin would actively "attack" her, and attack her directly on her lips.

With Xilin's personality, this is simply impossible!

The Herrscher is very sensitive to the outside world, but if there is no malicious intent around, the effectiveness of this perception will be reduced.

Just like when Xilin and I were sleeping, the unconscious movements during sleep would not wake each other up.

But she did feel something even stranger just now.

It was not malicious, so Kiana was not that sensitive to this emotion, but... that emotion was too strong, so strong that Kiana could not ignore it at all.

So Kiana woke up from her sleep...but when Kiana woke up, she felt something cool and soft against her lips.

Although it was all human skin, Kiana, as the Herrscher of Death, instantly knew what part of the skin her lips were touching.

The outrageous situation almost caused Kiana to crash, and because of her crash, her turbulent emotions did not seem to be sensed by Xilin.

"Huh... What should I do now?" Kiana looked at the ceiling in confusion.

She has a lot of things on her mind.

Although the time I spent with 'Raiden Mei' was not long compared to that of Xilin, it was actually less than five years in total.

To look at it from another perspective, she came to this world inexplicably and couldn't find her way back. In addition, so many years have passed... Even if Kiana really fell in love with someone else, it wouldn't be something incomprehensible.

But Kiana could never forget everything she had experienced with 'Raiden Mei'. Even if she could not return to her former world, she had never thought of developing a romantic relationship with others, because 'love' was a more special feeling than any other.

Her special nature determined that Kiana had to be responsible for both parties, so she had never considered these things, let alone the object was Xilin...

The relationship between her and Xilin is too complicated.

"What should I do..." Kiana thought to herself. "Should I continue to play dumb?"

Although for Kiana, continuing to play dumb might be the best option in the current situation, playing dumb would only pile up everything until the 'future'.

But...she really had no choice.

B.109 New Year's Eve Family Dinner

"Hi~Good evening!" Kiana, full of energy, came to Cecilia's door, stuck her head out and waved vigorously to everyone in the house.

Obviously, Kiana and Sirin were indeed a little late.

Bella and Cecilia have prepared all the dishes for the dinner.

In addition, Qibao, Theresa and Siegfried had been waiting in the living room for a long time.

It is a tradition for this family to celebrate the New Year with seven people together.

'Come to think of it, Theresa has been spending the New Year here all this time, so Otto is really a loner. 'Perhaps it was because Otto himself knew that although he was very popular with ordinary Valkyries, he was not a likable guy to the 'high-level'.

So on New Year's Eve, Otto would not come to disturb them.

The next day, Theresa would usually return to the headquarters of Savior to celebrate the New Year with Otto. After all, in this world, Otto had not done anything to let Theresa down.

When they all lived in the headquarters, Theresa would often rush home after dinner to celebrate the New Year with Otto.

After they moved to Saint Freya, Theresa was still struggling for a long time about where to spend the New Year, and that year was the only time Otto attended the family's New Year's Eve party.

Since then, Theresa has developed the habit of spending the New Year here and then returning to the headquarters for a few years.

"Kiana, you're just in time." Theresa grabbed the bottle in front of her and shook it twice. "See? New bitter melon juice!"

"I didn't see it, I couldn't see it." Kiana quickly closed her eyes, pretending that she was blind and couldn't see anything.

New bitter melon juice? Drink it yourself!

"Today is a rare opportunity, I have to take out the vodka that I have treasured for a long time." Seeing Kiana coming, Siegfried immediately started to cheer.

"Uncle, you have a lot of 'long-treasured vodka'. You have one every year, right?" Kiana snatched the vodka in front of Siegfried. "Hmm? This packaging looks familiar."

Kiana took a closer look and found that this kind of vodka packaging was often seen in the 'original world' when Kiana and Siegfried were still living on the snowy plains.

At that time, Siegfried often used this kind of wine to get drunk... Later, Kiana also understood a little bit about it.

This wine is not a rare or expensive wine, on the contrary, it is really a...bad wine.
