Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

After all, a month ago, Wendy was still Anna's "enemy", and Wendy had not even had any communication with Anna.

Now, although their relationship has indeed become much better, Anna has never had any thoughts about Wendy. She just regards Wendy as a good friend.

'Is my relationship with Wendy this good?' Anna couldn't help but ask herself.

Romantic relationships are very special, especially for same-sex couples.

After all, it is easy for people of the same sex to confuse friendship with love, thus developing wrong feelings, and these wrong feelings are more likely to become conflicts in the future.

Of course, whether between the same sex or the opposite sex, becoming lovers is a very serious matter.

"So... what's going on?" Anna looked at Wendy with confusion in her eyes. "Is it because of my usual inappropriate behavior?"

Thinking back to the time when I was with Wendy... it seemed that apart from holding hands, even the hugs that are common between best friends were rare. On the contrary, before Yulandel became an S-rank Valkyrie, they would occasionally have more intimate actions.

"It should be fine..." After reviewing herself, Anna was even more confused. "Then... what went wrong?"

Anna was puzzled. She didn’t understand... After only being together for a month, why did it come to this?

"And, do you like it..." Anna wasn't sure what she was thinking.

As for whether she likes Wendy or not, the answer is beyond doubt. She likes Wendy very much... But is this liking the same as liking a lover...

She has never been in love, so she doesn't understand what kind of feeling "lover" is.

"It seems I misunderstood." There was no regret or joy in Wendy's tone. She just said it very calmly, and it was impossible to analyze her mood at all.

Just as Wendy was about to stand up and say something else, Anna suddenly reached out and grabbed Wendy's wrist.

'Eh? ’

Not only Wendy was surprised, Anna looked at her own hand in surprise, because she stretched it out instinctively and she had almost no time to think.

"Anna?" Wendy looked at Anna in confusion.

"I don't know... but I think I like him..." Anna said to Wendy in a vague tone. "But... I'm really not sure what I think."

"...Yeah." Wendy didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

"What about you?" Having said what she needed to say, Anna raised her head and looked into Wendy's eyes.

Although it was a question, Anna felt that it might be a difficult question for Wendy to answer.

"I don't know either." Wendy shook her head. "I don't quite understand..."

"Then... let's talk about this later." Anna did not let go of Wendy's hand, but stood up first. "After all, Wendy, you are still too young... let's talk about this kind of thing when you are older, at least after you are fourteen."

"it is good."

...

......

“Look, I’m telling you.” Kiana nudged Sirin’s arm with her elbow.

"..." Xilin glanced at Qiana, the contempt in her eyes did not need to be expressed in words.

"What are you doing? That look?" Kiana asked in a grumble after being given a contemptuous look. "Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"No, nothing." Xilin shook her head. "If there is anything wrong... it's just that you are too slow."

"But given the current situation, it would be better for you to be a little slow."

Xilin herself hasn't made up her mind yet, so until she is sure of her feelings, let Kiana be slow for a while.

"?" Kiana looked at Xilin with a little doubt and then shrugged. "Well, the show is over."

"Do you think they will be together?" Just as Kiana was about to get up and go upstairs, Xilin suddenly said to Kiana.

"This... should be possible, right?" Kiana said somewhat uncertainly.

After all, Anna was the one Kiana had watched grow up, so she was relatively familiar with Anna's personality. She was a Shaniyat with a strong Kaslana bloodline.

As for Wendy, her personality is relatively gentle and soft, but what happened just now gave Kiana a new understanding of Wendy's personality. She seems to be stronger than Kiana imagined.

"Although I've always felt that Wendy and Seele are somewhat similar, and whether it's their personalities or the way they address Bronya..."

In the 'original world', Kiana did not have much contact with Wendy. After all, after just a few contacts, Wendy became a Herrscher and then died, so they did not know each other very well.

As for Seele... Actually, it was only less than half a year from the first time Kiana met Seele to the launch of the [Stigmata Plan]. After spending half a year with her, Kiana only felt that Seele was a sister with a good personality and it was very comfortable to get along with her.

But because her personality is too soft, people are worried that she will be bullied. Fortunately, there is another "Xier" in Xier's body.

As for Wendy...it seems that Wendy is a little stronger than Seele now.

But it’s better to be a little stronger so that you won’t be bullied.

"Really..." Xilin nodded slightly. "But... they don't have a choice. They are the best choice for each other."

"?" Hearing Xilin's words, Kiana looked at Xilin with some confusion. "What do you mean by 'no choice'?"

“There are only a few Herrschers like these, right?” Xilin shrugged.

"That's true..." Kiana nodded slightly. "But, Sirin, how do you know that they will become Herrschers?"

Kiana had experienced it once, so she knew that Wendy and Anna were Herrschers...but she couldn't be sure that they would become Herrschers again this time.

But Xilin's tone just now seemed very certain.

"This is very simple. They have the qualifications to become Herrschers, unless, when the Honkai Impact occurs, there are other beings with the same characteristics as them and whose qualifications are superior to theirs."

B.168 Delay, just delay

"Huh?" Hearing Xilin's words, it was Kiana who showed a puzzled expression. "Xilin, can you sense their qualifications?"

"Can't you?" Xilin also asked in confusion. "The aura they carry is very obvious, and it's different from that of ordinary people."

After Xilin and Kiana talked for a while, Kiana finally realized the fundamental reason why she didn't know the qualifications of Wendy and Anna as elements.

In fact, it is because Kiana has been a Herrscher since she was born. Regardless of whether she has authority or power, she is a Herrscher.

But Xilin is different. She is a Herrscher transformed from a human, and belongs to the Herrscher under 'normal' circumstances.

It is precisely because of this difference that Xilin can feel that Anna and Wendy are of the "same kind" and they belong to the Herrscher body.

Unless they encounter a great collapse and there are beings with stronger qualities than them nearby, they are destined to be Herrschers.

"I see." Kiana nodded in understanding. "But it is true. The range of choices they have is too small."

The life span of humans and Herrschers is too different, and the concepts of time of both the immortal and short-lived species will gradually change over time.

To a certain extent, Kiana, whose appearance has not changed in more than ten years, has also had some changes in her concept of time. However, the change is very subtle because Kiana still lives like a human.

"But then again, the length of life is... "

Not only Herrschers, but also Fusion Warriors can live for a long time.

At least Kiana has never heard of any fusion warrior dying because of exhaustion of lifespan.

'Forget it, let's talk about it later...' Although in reality, Kiana does have the ability to grant others immortality, but Kiana is not a fool, and she has read novels before.

It would be fine if a few individuals were to achieve immortality, but if a large number of people were to achieve immortality, there would definitely be serious consequences.

Human beings are not yet capable of bearing the curse of 'immortality'.

"Kiana, what about you?" Xilin suddenly asked Kiana. "Do you have any ideas?"

"Me? I have no idea at all." Kiana shrugged and said, "Before resolving the crisis of [End], I won't think about it."

"Yeah... I think so." Xilin was silent for a moment and then nodded. "That's exactly what you would say."

Kiana attaches great importance to the sense of crisis. In the illusion that Sirin saw, Kiana, who had no sense of crisis, spent all day and night in "St. Freya Academy" trying every means to get close to "Raiden Mei".

But after some things happened, Kiana seemed to put these thoughts aside because she knew she had more important things to do.

If the crisis of [the end] is not resolved, then no matter what kind of love it is, it will end at the moment [the end] arrives.

Indeed, given the characteristics of the Herrschers, they have the ability to escape even when facing the [End].

But...Kiana will not forgive herself. She will never forgive herself for running away when facing the disaster of world destruction.

Once Kiana chooses to escape, one day in the near future, she will kill herself with her own hands.

"Then... let's wait until the crisis of [The End] is resolved." If you calculate carefully, it will take at least three years to resolve [The End], and Xilin... still has three years to consider.

"..." Kiana certainly understood what Xilin was talking about, but when Xilin said this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Kiana thought that they were from different worlds, she still had other concerns and considerations in her heart, so thinking it through did not mean she could make a decision.

And now, she has more time to think about it.

...

......

Time is something that passes quickly and slowly. Sometimes, a long time has passed in the blink of an eye.

But sometimes, after waiting for a long time, you realize that only a few minutes have passed.

During the holidays, Kiana and Sirin played games at home.

He called Mei Raiden, Bronya and Seele to form a five-person team.

Although Xier is a shortcoming, the strengths of their team are really too great.

Bronya, like 'Bronya', possesses an extraordinary talent.

Kiana, Sirin, and Mei Raiden, as Herrschers, have reaction nerves and mental structures far beyond that of ordinary people, and can perform operations beyond the "script".

Therefore, even with just a few days of vacation, their team has already made it to the top of the game's popular search list.

only...

The holidays always go by quickly.

Most of the girls who need to go to school, such as Mei Raiden, Bronya, and Seele, have a two-month vacation, but Kiana does not.

She... should go to work.

"Why?" Looking at the circled and highlighted items on the calendar, Kiana cried out in pain. "I don't want to go to work!"

[Principal of St. Freya Academy] Cecilia didn't have to go to work today, so why did she start working?

"Go, go." Xilin said to Qiana in a hurry. "Today is the first day of work, cheer up."

"Why does this sound so familiar?" Kiana raised her eyebrows and said in confusion.

"You said the same thing when I said I didn't want to go to school." Xilin reached out and patted Kiana on the back.

Although Xilin is about ten centimeters shorter than Qiana, she can still do things like patting her on the back.

"Uh..." Kiana sighed after a moment of silence. "This is the cycle of karma, and it's still a retribution..."

Kiana shook her head helplessly, and finally went out obediently...

But she was dawdling all the way. She could have teleported directly to the laboratory, but she walked there slowly.

Anyway, she is the boss! She can be late if she wants to.

"How about we discuss this with everyone later and have the entire department use up all their annual leave at the same time?" On the way to the laboratory, Kiana had a somewhat unrealistic idea in her mind.

'Oh, no...' After this thought came into her mind, Kiana immediately rejected it.

In fact, she could indeed allow everyone in the entire department to take 90 days off to play.

But! Kiana doesn't just work in the biochemical department.

In addition to the biochemistry department, she also works in the new energy research and development department and the aerospace technology department. Normally, she goes to whichever department has work to do or where the matter is more important.

If all the people in the biochemical department took leave to go out and play, then she would still have to work in the new energy department and the aerospace technology department, so there would be no point at all.

"I'm going to die..." Kiana lowered her head and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

As usual, here is the postscript for the end of Volume 2.

——About the plot——

To some extent, this book is indeed self-entertaining, especially the appearance of Elena and Ellie, which many readers must be unfamiliar with.

But it doesn't matter. Elena and Ellie can be directly regarded as Herrschers from a time and space farther away than the parallel world. The meaning of their existence is to advance or stop Sirin and Kiana.
