Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

Seeing that Kiana really didn't seem to have misunderstood anything, Xilin was relieved.

Although there has been no substantial progress between her and Kiana, if Kiana misunderstands that she is having an affair with Raiden Mei, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

"Oh?" Kiana nodded and walked up to the two of them. "What's wrong?"

"I noticed that Mei had an unusual aura." Silin said to Kiana.

Although it was very slight, Sirin did feel an extremely powerful force from Raiden Mei, a force that far exceeded the power of an ordinary Herrscher.

Although it is difficult to compare with her who has five Herrscher cores, and she is not as powerful as Kiana...

That kind of power is truly extremely powerful...at least it is a level that only a three-core Herrscher can achieve.

This is just a breath, how strong it is exactly...Xilin can't be sure.

"Oh?" Hearing Xilin say this, Kiana also stood up instantly.

To be honest, the development of this 'parallel world' has made Kiana a little confused.

It's obviously the same power, but Kiana is several times stronger than her past self, which is already very strange. And Sirin's extra Herrscher core is even more unclear. Now has Raiden Mei's situation become complicated as well?

Although Kiana has been on guard against these things, she failed to prevent them!

This is very depressing.

"Does Mei feel anything bad?" Kiana asked Mei of Raiden. Just the moment she got close, Kiana felt the unusual aura from Mei of Raiden.

"No." Raiden Mei shook her head. "It's like this... I had a dream last night."

"Dream?" Kiana and Xilin looked at each other.

"Could it be that guy again?" The first thing that popped into Celine's mind was the Herrscher of the End wearing a veil that looked like a sea of ​​stars. Although it was just a glimpse...but the other person looked exactly like Cecilia...

As for Kiana, she already has some PTSD about the 'dream'.

Since the "Stigma Project" in the "Original World", she has experienced many things related to dreams, and these things are very tricky...

"It's troublesome..." Kiana instinctively felt troubled, but she couldn't just sit there and take action. "Did Mei dream about something?"

"Hmm..." After Kiana asked, Mei Raiden hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Maybe... my 'other possibility'?"

She and [Siwon Mei] can't be said to be in a 'parallel world', but it doesn't seem like a 'second personality' either...

In theory, they are like different 'branches'; they are indeed the same person, but they lead completely different lives.

"?" A huge question mark appeared on Kiana's head. 'What is this? Is it a word for young people? Am I old?'

In an instant, Kiana thought a lot.

"Let me think about it. There are some things that cannot be said... It's so troublesome. Sister Kiana, how troublesome is the ban you set?" Raiden Mei kept weighing her words, trying to avoid all the "unspeakable".

But the problem is...if she finds a way to tell Kiana some truth, will it disrupt some things?

Although this world has become very chaotic under Sister Kiana's own operation, it is completely different from "another possibility".

"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now, but I still need to talk to Sister Kiana about the power." Raiden Mei took a deep breath, and then a blue light suddenly appeared in her eyes.

The blue pupils and purple irises made her eyes look extremely beautiful.

That is not the color of the Herrscher of Thunder.

Purple-pink electric light flickered and jumped on Raiden Mei's body, and the black and red Herrscher armor was completed, but compared to yesterday, there were some more golden lines on her armor.

In addition, perhaps the most obvious change is her divine ring, which has now changed from purple to purple-pink.

A powerful aura spread from Raiden Mei's body, but she suppressed her own power and did not let her power spread too far. It only surrounded the entire villa.

"This is..." Feeling the breath of Raiden Mei, Kiana widened her eyes in disbelief.

And Xilin, who had seen everything in the illusion, understood everything in an instant.

"【The Power of Origin】!" Kiana and Sirin exclaimed at the same time.

"Yeah." Raiden Mei looked at the arc on her palm and nodded. "That's right..."

"I dreamed of 'another me'."

Mei Raiden feels that the term "another me" can solve many problems without the need for too much explanation.

"I see..." Before Mei Raiden began to explain, Kiana nodded and showed an understanding expression. "No wonder Mei, since you completed your metamorphosis, your power has surpassed that of an ordinary Herrscher."

"At first I thought something was wrong with the 'Honkai', but now I finally understand."

Although the strength of the Herrscher is indeed increasing, the strength gap between Raiden Mei and Sirin is too obvious.

If there weren't the other four Herrscher cores, even with her extremely powerful mental power, Sirin's combat power would only be slightly stronger than Raiden Mei's.

If we only talk about power, it is not even 70% of Raiden Mei's.

Such a gap is obviously unreasonable...but if Mei Raiden had possessed a part of the [Power of Origin] from the beginning, then it would become natural.

Kiana expressed her thoughts.

"Um...that's it." Raiden Mei blinked. Although Kiana's description was not entirely correct, was it specifically wrong...no.

Except for not mentioning the "time reversal", everything Kiana said was the truth. She indeed possessed the [Power of Origin] when she completed her metamorphosis, and the "another possibility" she saw yesterday was just the unlocking of the blocked power.

In the future, her power will gradually be completely liberated.

Until she has the same power as [Siyuan Mei]... And you have to know that [Siyuan Mei] only had this power for two or three days, just like Alicia in [Siyuan Mei]'s memory...

Whether it is [Siwon Mei] or [Siwon Alcia], they do not have enough time to embrace this power.

But she is different. After being completely liberated, she has more time to develop the hidden [Power of Origin].

"Is that so..." Kiana lowered her eyes slightly, her tone was extremely complicated, making people wonder what she was thinking...

No, maybe Kiana herself doesn’t know how complicated her heart is right now.

"Anyway... this should be considered a good thing." Kiana said to Raiden Mei. "There are still some things I don't understand. I'll go back to my room and think about it."

Kiana waved to Raiden Mei and Sirin and went upstairs.

Mei Raiden possesses the [Power of Origin] and also says that she saw 'another her'.

This made Kiana doubt whether the one Mei Raiden saw was the Mei Raiden from her original world. This possibility was very high, but...

"Alas..." Kiana sighed deeply.

After Kiana left, Raiden Mei and Sirin looked at each other.

"Mei, you..."

"Senior Xilin, you..."

Because of the confusion just now, Kiana might not have noticed it, but Raiden Mei heard it.

When Xilin saw the power she manifested, she immediately recognized it as the [Power of Origin]... This was very strange.

Theoretically, it is impossible for Sirin to have seen this power, even if Sirin is in the same situation as himself... After all, neither Sirin nor the 'Herser of the Void' in Kiana's body have ever seen [Shigen Mei].

"You know the truth...right?" Xilin's expression became a little complicated. "The whole truth."

"Hmm..." Raiden Mei pondered for a moment, then drew a line with her index fingers, and then her right hand suddenly drew an arc and touched her left hand. "Is this the truth?"

Mei Raiden thinks that Xilin should know the truth about "time travel" under certain special circumstances, just like herself.

So she used this gesture to try to make Xilin understand what she meant.

"...Yeah." Xilin was silent for a while and then nodded. "I know everything."

For some reason, when Xilin said this, she felt a strong sense of guilt inexplicably.

It feels like stealing something and then being discovered by the original owner.

"As expected..." Mei Raiden nodded. "Senior Sirin, you always reveal some flaws, but Kiana-sister never notices them."

"She's an idiot. We all know this." Xilin really didn't feel like joking with Mei Raiden. "Okay... we've confirmed everything that needs to be confirmed. I haven't finished reading the novel yet."

Xilin turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment, Senior Xilin." Raiden Mei reached out and grabbed Xilin's wrist. "I still have something to say."

"Then go ahead." Xilin looked at Raiden Mei, waiting for her to speak.

Actually, Xilin really doesn't want to hear anything now...

"Well...that is to say..." Raiden Mei was actually a little embarrassed.

Indeed, Mei Raiden likes Kiana very much.

In addition to the love for the elders, it naturally also includes some romantic emotions.

It’s just that Mei Raiden has always been more rational. It’s true that she likes Kiana, but she thinks Kiana can’t like her, let alone have any relationship with her... After all, she doesn’t want the person she likes to be a copper smelter.

But after learning the truth, the situation of the coppersmith no longer existed, and she and Kiana could build an equal romantic relationship.

But...does she really want to have a romantic relationship with Kiana...Actually, Mei Raiden is not quite sure.

The reason why [Mei Siwon] did not choose to pass her feelings to Mei Raiden is because in [Mei Siwon's] opinion, her feelings have ended, and she does not want her feelings to affect Mei Raiden.

"Okay, stop talking..." Xilin looked at Raiden Mei, pursed her lips and prepared to leave.

Mei Raiden might already have the memory of the time before she went back. If she has that memory...she and Kiana will have a natural connection.

"Wait a minute!" Mei Raiden pulled Xilin back again. "I just have the memories, but I don't have those feelings."

Mei Raiden doesn't want the CP she's optimistic about to fall apart because of her own 'riddle', because if that happens, she'll be committing a serious sin.

"What do you mean?" Xilin looked at Raiden Mei in shock. "Do you know what you are saying?"

"Of course I know." Raiden Mei held Sirin's shoulders, looked her straight in the eyes, and nodded very seriously. "I am different from 'another me'. I know everything that happened between her and Sister Kiana, but I only know it. That feeling does not belong to me."

"So, Senior Xilin, please be bolder."

C.50 Someone figured it out

Mei Raiden has always been a very delicate person. It is precisely because her mind is delicate enough that she can see many things that Kiana, a stupid girl, cannot see.

After Xilin saw that she possessed the [Power of Origin], her eyes changed drastically, and the meaning behind them became extremely complicated.

But Mei Raiden could understand what Xilin meant by those looks.

However, Mei Raiden is not the same as what Sirin imagined. Although she likes Kiana, she does not have any improper thoughts about her.

Indeed, this world is indeed a 'new timeline' after 'going back in time', and not a 'parallel world' as Kiana originally imagined.

But Kiana had already appeared at a time when she shouldn't have appeared, and everything she was familiar with disappeared in the "flashback".

At the moment when the earth was about to be destroyed, Kiana went back in time, and the price of saving the world was that she would lose everything, but Kiana still doesn't know that she has lost everything.

"But Mei..." Xilin understood what Mei Raiden meant, but she didn't understand why Mei Raiden made such a choice.

"Don't let your thoughts get in the way, Senior Xilin." Raiden Mei shook her head gently at Xilin. "Even if you and I become rivals in love, it will only be because of my own choice, and will never be due to the influence of another memory."

After all, even if a memory does not contain any subjective emotions or feelings, it will still resonate with the viewer.

Just like a movie, its content will make people feel emotional.

It’s just that Mei Raiden has not changed because of these memories.

"So, you haven't done anything wrong to anyone." Mei Raiden could of course see the meaning in Xilin's eyes.

She simply thought that she had become a thief who had taken advantage of the situation, and now she was exposed in front of her 'original wife'. This realization made Xilin feel ashamed and she dared not look herself in the eye.

But in fact, she is just Raiden Mei, not [the same as Siwon]. They are different individuals, so in Raiden Mei's view, Sirin has not done anything wrong to anyone.

"I understand." If Xilin still didn't understand, she would be really stupid.

However, Xilin was not that stupid, she could understand what Raiden Mei meant.

"It's not just about 'understanding'." Raiden Mei tilted her head and chuckled. "If Senior Xilin's progress is too slow... then I won't be polite."

Yes, she could repeatedly watch everything that Kiana and Mei Siyuan had done together, just like watching a movie over and over again, and it was inevitable that she would develop feelings for the characters in the movie.

If things can't be settled for a long time, then Mei Raiden might really develop her own unique feelings from that memory.

If that day really comes, she will join this "war" without hesitation.

"Hmm..." Xilin nodded and said nothing more.

After watching Mei Raiden leave, Xilin walked to the sofa in a somewhat decadent manner, and then pounced on her in exactly the same posture as Kiana.
