Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

Oh, this is not fun, it’s just the CP soul sprouting in secret.

A.22 As gorgeous as flying flowers

To be honest, Xilin is actually just like a child. She is the type who cannot sit still at the dining table once she is full.

After feeling a slight bloating in her abdomen, Xilin stopped eating, and then began to glance at the TV from time to time, her body shaking constantly.

Although she thought she was being very secretive, in fact, except for Xiao Qibao who didn't understand, everyone else saw what Xilin was doing.

"Burp~" Suddenly, Xiao Qibao burped, and then she put down the spoon in her hand. "I'm full."

As Xiao Qibao said this, he was ready to jump off the chair.

Kiana then picked up little Qibao and carefully placed him on the ground.

"Xilin, if you are full, you can play with Qibao." Kiana pointed in the direction of the living room and reminded Xilin.

In fact, it was just to give Xilin an excuse to leave her seat naturally.

"I don't want to play with children." Xilin crossed her arms and said proudly. "They are very difficult to take care of."

"Qibao is very easy to take care of." Kiana said with a smile. "When I saw Alahato just now, wasn't she very well behaved?"

"By the way, Mr. Siegfried, are there any restrictions on Qibao's TV watching?" Many people restrict their children from watching TV.

After all, television is very harmful to children's eyes. Although Xiao Qibao is definitely not that simple, he is still a child after all.

"Well, not really." Siegfried groaned, then glanced at Cecilia quietly and said, "Kiana is usually very well behaved. She will listen to us as long as we call her, so we don't have any restrictions on her."

"Then let Qibao watch the TV?" Although Kiana said "for Qibao to watch", in fact, every word she said was referring to Xilin.

"Cecilia, is it okay?" Siegfried asked Cecilia. It turned out that Cecilia had the most power in this family.

"Sure, but you can only watch it for an hour." Cecilia said after checking the time.

It's getting late now. Xiao Qibao should watch TV for another hour and then go to bed.

"Okay!" Upon hearing her mother's agreement, Xiao Qibao raised her hand and shouted.

"So, Sirin..." Kiana tilted her head and blinked rapidly at Sirin.

"Oh, okay." Xilin stood up helplessly.

Since it was Kiana's request, she agreed reluctantly.

Having said that, Xilin simply walked towards the living room, and Xiao Qibao looked at Qiana and followed closely behind.

Although little Qibao is young, she is very smart. The beautiful aunt will definitely chat with her mother and Aunt Theresa.

So she had no intention of pestering Kiana.

Siegfried helped Xilin and Xiao Qibao turn on the TV, then taught Xilin how to place the disc and then walked back.

----

"It can be seen that Qibao really likes you, Miss Kiana." Cecilia said with a smile.

Although Xiao Qibao is usually very enthusiastic towards most people, this is the first time Cecilia has seen her be so enthusiastic towards Kiana.

"I like Qibao too. After all, everyone likes a cute and sensible child, right?" Kiana nodded.

"Come to think of it, I heard from Siegfried that Miss Kiana and Miss Silin are both Herrschers, right?" Cecilia did not have any hostility towards the identity of 'Herrscher'.

Rather, she was very curious about the Herrscher.

Cecilia is an S-rank Valkyrie. Theoretically, at her peak, she possessed the strength to rival that of a Herrscher.

In her early years, Cecilia actually fought against the Herrscher, the First Herrscher Walter Yang.

However, Cecilia was still young at that time, and her strength was only okay. As a result, when she faced Walter Yang, she was defeated almost at the first encounter. Therefore, Cecilia did not have a correct understanding of the strength of the Herrscher.

And according to Siegfried, Kiana seems to be much stronger than Walter and Sirin.

So Cecilia was very curious about how strong Kiana was.

"Yes, that's right. Sirin and I are both Herrschers." Kiana nodded. "But we are not really interested in the mission of Herrschers."

Even when facing Cecilia and the others, Kiana now stands firmly on Sirin's side.

Kiana would always have this attitude until Sirin did something unforgivable.

"What is the mission of the Herrscher?" Cecilia asked curiously. "The three Herrschers that have appeared so far, including you, Miss Kiana, do not seem to have the mission of destroying civilization as the rumors say."

"Actually, Madam, you are right. The mission of the Herrscher is indeed to destroy civilization, but sometimes there are always exceptions." Kiana said with a smile. "Although in my world, there are too many such 'exceptions'."

"In fact, Herrscher also has human nature, but it is precisely because of his human nature that he feels resentment."

"That's what Silin is like."

If Kiana had not arrived, Sirin's hatred for humans would have been amplified hundreds or thousands of times under the erosion of Honkai, and by that time, Sirin would hate humans without being controlled.

However, Kiana had heard Mei Raiden talk about this matter and the truth about the Herrscher in her own world.

In the [pre-civilization era], the Herrscher actually had no self-will, that is, no "human nature".

Those Herrschers are under the control of Honkai. Although they seem to have extremely high intelligence, to some extent they are just advanced AIs. Those Herrschers are puppets of Honkai, so there is no possibility of turning back.

And the reason why they can have humanity and the power to make their own choices is because of a "girl as gorgeous as flying flowers."

It was the power of the Ruler who had become a man that gave them the opportunity to choose.

Whether they eventually become warriors who protect civilization or enemies who destroy civilization, it will be decided by their own will, and they will no longer be mere puppets.

"Well... I actually know about this..." Cecilia understood everything that Silin had experienced from Siegfried and Theresa's descriptions.

Cecilia had not experienced this, so she was not self-righteous and thought she could empathize with it.

But she also understood how much pain Xilin had suffered, so she could actually understand Xilin's behavior.

Cecilia's kind nature made her unable to bear to see the casualties, but that was all.

After all, Cecilia also understands the principle of "being responsible for one's own actions."

A.23 Humans are interesting

“Alas, being a Herrscher isn’t easy either.” Cecilia said with some regret.

Although the Herrscher can obtain power, it is enough to be called a step to heaven.

However, it is not easy to maintain one's humanity after becoming a Herrscher.

Although Sirin's behavior has always seemed a bit arrogant, Cecilia feels that Sirin has been able to retain her humanity in the face of the terrible increase in negative emotions caused by Honkai, and still abide by the concept of "every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor". This actually proves that Sirin is a good child.

"But, Ms. Kiana, what kind of person are you?" At this point in the conversation, Theresa suddenly brought up a somewhat sharp topic.

"Theresa..." Cecilia pressed Theresa's leg.

Theresa's words were very sensitive, and Cecilia didn't want to cause any displeasure to Kiana.

In addition to the fact that Kiana herself is very powerful, the more important reason is Cecilia's nature. She has a gentle temperament and does not like conflicts.

"Well, this is not a topic that cannot be mentioned." Although Theresa's topic was indeed sharp, if Kiana was not Kiana, but a Herrscher who was unfamiliar with everyone here, then Theresa's topic would most likely anger her.

"As you can see, I'm just a Herrscher." Kiana casually snapped her fingers, and a cluster of flames burned at her fingertips.

Although Kiana does possess multiple powers, she actually only has one core within her body.

Unlike the core with four pendants that Sirin had when she landed on the moon, although Sirin's four pendants still possess the power of a Herrscher, they are not integrated with Sirin, so the four pendant gems cannot trigger the innate talent of a native Herrscher.

Therefore, when Xilin used the power of the gem, she could not use the power as instinctively.

Kiana's Herrscher core is like the [Herser of Meteoric Ice], which perfectly fuses the cores into one.

More importantly, the [Herrserker Core of Fire] is a fusion of the [Herrserker Core of Void], the [Gem of Disease], and the [Gem of Tranquility].

Although Kiana is not a native [Hersher of the Void], she needs to think to a certain extent when using the [Power of the Void], which she is far inferior to Sirin.

Just like Bronya, even though she became the Herrscher of Truth, her power far exceeded that of Walter Joyce, but her understanding was far inferior.

Of course, Kiana is not without benefits in this regard. After all, she is a native [Herser of Fire] and [Herser of Death]. Therefore, when she uses [Power of Fire] and [Power of Death], it is actually easier than [Power of Void].

"【Herser of Fire】!?" Theresa shouted in shock.

If Kiana is the Herrscher of Fire, then it would explain why she could use the Judgment of Heavenly Fire so easily and even display a posture that no one had ever seen before.

"You can say that." Kiana did not comment.

Indeed, Kiana was familiar with Theresa and Siegfried's personalities, and she also trusted Cecilia.

But she is not Kiana Kaslana now. She has only known them for less than two days and was even a Herrscher from the enemy camp before.

She does not intend to reveal her true identity, in this world, she will only be 'Kiana Atagina'.

"[Hersher of Fire]?" Silin poked her head out from the back of the sofa to look at Kiana.

In an instant, a sense of satisfaction surged in her heart.

Apart from her, no one knew that Kiana was not only the [Hersher of Fire], but also possessed the [Power of the Void].

This special treatment made Xilin very satisfied, so satisfied that she even lay down and relaxed.

After that, Theresa and Siegfried asked some more questions.

"Two Herrschers were born during one Honkai... but the Herrscher of Fire should be the Seventh Herrscher... why was it born now?" Theresa wanted to get more information about Honkai from Kiana.

After all, this is very useful for fighting against collapse.

"Although the [Hersher of Reason] and the [Hersher of the Void] did appear in order, the birth of the Herrschers has never been said to have a fixed order, right?" Kiana shrugged and said.

"Well, that's true." Theresa pursed her lips. "But, Ms. Kiana, why are you willing to answer these questions?"

To be honest, Theresa felt that these questions were extremely presumptuous.

If it wasn't for Otto's order, she would not have dared to do this.

"It's just to show my sincerity." Kiana spread her hands and said, "I don't want to destroy this prosperous civilization, nor do I want to cause too many conflicts."

"You, Tianming, will show enough sincerity to let Xilin and I live a good life, so I will naturally not be stingy with some insignificant information."

"In the final analysis, Sirin and I do possess the power to destroy civilization. No matter your destiny, anti-entropy, or other 'foundations', in my opinion, they are nothing more than that. You have no right to stop me." Kiana tried her best to reproduce Sirin, or the Herrscher of the Void's arrogance and...'language proficiency'.

Come to think of it, Bronya once complained to Kiana: "The Herrscher of the Sky who didn't go to school has a higher cultural level than you. Shouldn't you, a paramecium, reflect on yourself?"

"But Miss Theresa, think about it, is it fun to live in a wasteland-like land? It's not fun, right?" Kiana leaned back slightly, her arrogant attitude exactly the same as Xilin's.

Kiana stretched her hands forward. Although she was clearly a guest, her body language at this moment seemed as if she was being given alms by a superior.

"For example, I am very satisfied with today's dinner, but if I destroy the world, then I won't be able to eat all kinds of delicious food in that deserted land, right?"

"So, humans are interesting, and human civilization is also interesting. This is also the fundamental reason why I let go of everything on earth and even stopped Xilin."

"So this is why Kiana stopped me?" Silin, who was eavesdropping, nodded in understanding.

Kiana's speech made Xilin very happy.

What made Xilin even happier was that she got to know Kiana better.

After all, they had only known each other for too short a time, so while Xilin relied on Kiana, she was also a little scared.

With Kiana's answers, Xilin felt a lot more at ease.

A.24 Madam, you are so cute

Although Kiana's words just now were very arrogant, they fully demonstrated her overconfidence in her own strength.

Xilin was like this before.

So they had some general guesses about the creature called the Herrscher.

While they retain their humanity, whether because of their own personalities or because they have become Herrschers, at least they will become very inflated after obtaining that powerful force.
