Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

At least in Xilin's opinion, Kiana's action was too "ambiguous".

"I'll do it myself." Xilin wanted to reach out for the spoon.

"It will spill." Kiana shook her head. "Come on, open your mouth."

"..." Xilin could only gently hold the edge of the spoon and then suck the wine in the spoon into her mouth.

Although Xilin did smell an unpleasant smell of alcohol.

But the drink was not as stimulating as Xilin had imagined.

There is a slight burning sensation on the lips, and the taste seems to be a little sweet, followed by a strong, indescribable "fragrance" filling the mouth, and finally transforming into a staggering spicy taste.

"Hiss!" Xilin took a breath of cold air, but all the smell of alcohol went into her throat. "Cough cough cough!!!"

Xilin turned her head away from the table and coughed violently a few times.

Even as a Herrscher, her face turned red due to such a physiological reaction.

"Xilin, water!" Kiana quickly picked up the juice and handed it over.

Xilin drank a full glass of sweet orange juice in one gulp, and the discomfort brought by the alcohol also dissipated under the flush of large amount of juice.

"Uh..." Xilin opened her mouth and fanned her tongue with her hand. "Why would anyone like to drink this?"

Celine looked at Siegfried.

"Not that I like it." Siegfried shook his head. "After all, the atmosphere has come to this point, and sometimes I want to have a drink or two."

"Is it so exaggerated?" Yulandel, who had never drunk alcohol, asked in disbelief when she saw Xilin's exaggerated reaction.

"Why don't you try it too?" Xilin said to Youlandel.

Yulandel had just celebrated her fifteenth birthday. According to the rules of Tianming, members of the Tianming household registration must be at least sixteen years old to drink.

However, having said that, Tianming did not enforce this rule very strictly. After all, there were indeed some young Valkyries who needed alcohol to numb themselves.

"No." Before Youlandel could say anything, Kiana refused for her. "Qibao is only fifteen years old, not old enough to drink."

"Well, Kiana is right." Cecilia nodded in agreement. "Qibao, you should be more self-aware."

"I..." Yulandel pointed at herself and blinked. She didn't say anything, so why was she labeled as 'unconscious'?! Too much!

"Actually, I think." Kiana suddenly thought of something and said, "When children are young, there is nothing wrong with letting them drink and smoke."

"Hmm?" Cecilia frowned at Kiana. "Did Kiana drink alcohol when she was a child?"

"Yeah." Kiana nodded. "When I was little, my stinky dad tricked me into drinking a very strong drink, which made me cough so hard that tears came out. So after that, I didn't like alcohol or anything like that very much."

"And then there's cigarettes." Kiana sighed heavily. "My dad told me to take a deep breath... and I almost choked to death, so I don't like cigarettes either."

"So that's how it is." Cecilia nodded in understanding.

"Wife! It's not me!!!" The former strongest Valkyrie's finger strength is no joke. Although it's not twisting the waist, the effect of twisting the legs is almost the same!

"Although it does sound feasible, I still don't recommend doing so." Cecilia expressed her thoughts.

"Yes, Sister Cecilia is right." Kiana nodded in agreement.

B.112 New Year's Goals

With the countdown on TV programs, the last second of 2013 finally passed, and people on Earth welcomed 2014.

For Kiana, 2014 is a very magical year, because in a sense, it is closely linked to Kiana's destiny.

In the 'original world', 'Raiden Mei' became a Herrscher in this year, and it was also in this year that she entered 'St. Freya Academy' and met the teachers, friends and relatives who later became extremely important to her.

It has been 14 years since she came to this world. Although Kiana still thinks of everyone occasionally, the frequency is indeed much less.

Perhaps it’s not because Kiana’s memory has faded. If necessary, Kiana can still remember those people anytime and anywhere.

Kiana was actually afraid that these memories would become blurred one day, but so far this has not happened.

Those memories that Kiana didn't remember did not disappear, but settled deep in Kiana's memory.

"Happy New Year!" At this moment, Theresa suddenly stood up and cheered.

"..." Kiana subconsciously turned to Theresa and forgot about the past. "This scene... looks so familiar."

Kiana thought so, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that in the past few years, Theresa was always the first one to cheer at every New Year's Eve.

Well, if we go back a few years, it was Qibao and Theresa who shouted together.

As expected, this kind of thing feels better when done by a child... and since he has a body shape like a child, he can barely be considered a child.

"happy New Year Happy New Year."

The family said "Happy New Year" to each other, which sounded brief and perfunctory, but perhaps it was because the family was so familiar with each other.

After all, this is already their thirteenth New Year's Eve spent together.

Although they didn't live together, no one would deny the fact that they were already "family".

"Does everyone have any New Year's resolutions?" Theresa asked curiously.

Thinking about it carefully, among all the people present, it seems that only she and Xilin can be described as "unambitious".

Although Theresa is the head of the Apokalis family, it is well known that Otto is the Archbishop of Heaven's Will, and his last name is Apokalis.

Therefore, neither the affairs of Destiny nor the affairs of the Apocalis family had anything to do with Theresa.

As for whether there were things she needed to deal with... yes! But very little. After all, Theresa was still the deputy director of Saint Freya, and she would occasionally help Cecilia deal with some things.

However, Kiana was a little worried that if Theresa was allowed to handle the matter, Cecilia would have to review it again, increasing her workload.

As for Xilin...haha...

"My goal every year is the same." Yulandel said, clenching her fists. "That is to become the strongest Valkyrie!"

Although Yulandel is now the "strongest Valkyrie of the new generation", she is still a long way from being the real strongest.

By the way, with the information about the [White Knight Moonlight] from Kiana's communicator obtained by Otto, and with Kiana's help with the [Space-Time Fracture System], Destiny successfully developed the true [First Generation Valkyrie Armor] in 2003.

Although it is called the first generation, it is actually benchmarked against the [third generation] in the 'original world', that is, the traditional [drive suit], [pulse suit], [field suit] and the derivative armor of the three basic armors.

Also, due to the completion of the development of the Valkyrie Armor, all Valkyries after 2003 are classified as 'new generation'.

"So this is Qibao's goal?" Kiana suddenly said to Yulandel. "Why do I remember that your previous goal was to 'save the world'?"

More than a decade ago, Kiana and Qibao jointly completed a [LEGO Black Abyss White Flower]. Although it looks like a toy, it is made of 'imaginary matter' transformed from the [Power of the Void].

And so that it can be preserved and not fall apart if you are not careful.

After [LEGO Black Abyss White Flower] was completed, Kiana solidified it. Except for the lack of sharp parts such as the tip of the gun, its strength is still quite high.

To some extent...it can also be considered a [Key of God]?

In short, Kiana still remembers Qibao waving the [LEGO·Black Abyss White Flower], with a bath towel tied around her small body as a cape, and then loudly shouting "Black Abyss White Flower, come and save the world with me!"

"That's not a conflict." Yulandel said embarrassedly. "If you want to save the world, you must have a stronger power. I'm not strong enough now."

"If I could have the same strength as you, aunt..."

Although Yulandel did save a world bubble, and now that world bubble is still sealed in her body.

But the size of the world bubble and the world is completely different. If she could have the same strength as Kiana, Yulandel felt that she should be able to save the real world.

"Saving the world requires more than just strength." Kiana shook her head at Yulandel. "Well... maybe simply being strong is also okay."

If you think about it carefully, if your strength is strong enough to surpass the [Cocoon of the End], then you can indeed save the world.

Therefore, simply being strong can save the world.

"But even with my strength, I still haven't saved the world, right?" Kiana spread her hands helplessly. "At least for now, I don't have a way to solve the Honkai."

"Hmm..." Yulandel looked at Kiana and nodded slightly.

Kiana is very strong, but she can't really save the world.

"But Auntie has done a great job." Yulandel said to Kiana. "【Valkyrie Armor】, 【Anti-Honkai Medicine】, 【Anti-Honkai Vaccine】, 【Stigma Factor Activation】, 【Aerospace Materials】, 【New Energy】... Any one of these is a contribution that ordinary people cannot achieve."

Kiana is indeed pushing the world forward in her fight against Honkai.

To some extent...Kiana can also be considered a 'pioneer'.

"I'm not discouraged." Kiana said with a smile after hearing Yulandel's words that seemed to comfort her. "Besides, fighting against Honkai has never been the fundamental thing, right?"

For Kaslana, "protection" is their mission in their cognition.

"Fighting against the collapse" is just one of the ways of "protection". If the "collapse" is eliminated one day, Kaslana's way of "protection" will also change accordingly, but the original intention of "protection" will not change.

B.113 is already an adult

Although Qibao was admonished, everyone knew her own personality, so they were very confident in her and believed she would not go astray because of her urgent need for power.

Moreover, Qibao's talent is really amazing, and to this day no one has seen where her upper limit is.

Even Kiana didn't know. After all, Bianca, who awakened the double stigmata of Shaniyat and Kaslana in the 'original world' and broke through 'Gengen', had extraordinary strength.

Although Kiana didn't understand why her strength became much stronger after coming to this world, the gap between her and her former self was several times greater.

But in the 'original world', as the Herrscher of the Fire Flame, Kiana was the strongest Herrscher at the time, except for Mei Raiden who had not yet truly demonstrated the Power of Origin, and whose strength could not be judged. Even Bronya, the Herrscher of Truth who had completed her metamorphosis, was no match for her in terms of hard power.

But even so, Bianca, who broke through 'Tianyuan', is on par with her. If combat experience is taken into account, Bianca is even slightly stronger than her.

Therefore, Qibao's current strength is far from reaching the upper limit of her talent. As long as she keeps working hard, her strength will continue to grow. In other words, before Qibao's strength reaches the limit of her talent, there is no need to worry about Qibao craving for unusual power.

"But if it's just pure exercise, it would be very boring." Qi Bao said, supporting his face limply.

Maybe because of the influence of Kiana and Sirin, Qibao is really nothing like 'Bianca' in some aspects... For example, her habit of lying down instead of sitting is exactly the same as Sirin's.

Kiana is okay. She only chooses to lie on the sofa after being tired from work... although she works overtime almost every day.

"So, auntie, come train with me." Qibao looked at Kiana.

"Isn't your map too short?" Kiana's eyes twitched. "You might as well find an uncle to practice with. After all, although you are quite strong now, you are still a little behind the uncle."

The 'strongest of the new generation' is still the new generation after all, and is still a little inferior to these 'old guards'... Oh, that's not the case.

After all, Qibao's current strength has actually surpassed most of the S-level Valkyries.

Kiana, Siegfried, Cecilia, and Cheng Lixue are indeed stronger than Qibao.

For example, Xilin and Theresa don’t really dare to say they can win against Qibao...it would be very embarrassing if they were beaten by Qibao.

After all, the two of them really rely on their talents to make a living, especially Xilin who deserves special criticism.

The strength of Shigure Kirara, Salome and others is weaker than Qibao.

As for the 'new generation'... apart from Qibao, there is only Rita who became S-rank not long ago.

"Eh? Come to think of it..." Kiana counted the number of S-class Valkyries in her mind and suddenly remembered something. "Oh, yes... it's Li Sushang."

Kiana suddenly thought of Li Suchang, one of the only three S-class Valkyries in the 'original world'.

Unlike Rita and Bianca, Li Sushang was "sealed" to the future by Otto for some reason five hundred years ago.

'Think carefully, Su Shang said at the time that Otto woke her up because his long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled, and Su Shang's agreement with him was also to "wake her up when his long-cherished wish is fulfilled."

"It seems that Otto intends to wait until 'that time' to wake up Su Shang." Kiana did not intend to interfere with this.

After all, this is the agreement between Li Suchang and Otto. When Otto feels that his long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, he will naturally wake up Li Suchang according to the agreement. This has nothing to do with Kiana.

"However, if Su Shang was here, Qibao wouldn't be so boring." Kiana thought so.

Li Suchang's strength is indeed impressive, but compared with Qi Bao's current strength, it is also on par with him... Perhaps Li Suchang will be a little stronger, but only if Qi Bao does not use the power of the 'world bubble' in his body.

"Although I don't intend to interfere, I'll still ask Otto in a few days." Kiana didn't intend to "ask Otto to wake up Su Shang", but to "ask Otto when to wake up Su Shang".

If Otto doesn't mind, then it would be a good idea to wake up Li Suchang in advance.

"Oh? Qibao wants to train with dad?" Siegfried looked at Qibao. He had become much stronger recently.

Although Siegfried felt that he was still far behind Kiana.

But it is more than enough to train Qibao.

"Good idea." Qi Bao nodded. "It's a good idea to test whether your strength has declined since you've been running around outside all these days, Dad."

"Huh?" Siegfried looked confused. "What's going on? I think this should be my line, right?"
