Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

"I'll make a plan when I get home." Cecilia was determined to exercise well.

But I have made up my mind. I am not feeling well right now, so I'd better sit for a while.

...

An unknown amount of time had passed, but Cecilia, who was sitting on the chair, had already closed her eyes. Her chest, which was tightly wrapped in her combat uniform, was rising and falling violently, and it was obvious that her breathing was not smooth at the moment.

However, even with such uncomfortable breathing, she still did not wake up.

...

......

"...I fell asleep?" Cecilia suddenly opened her eyes. "Where is this?"

Looking around, the red sand spread to the horizon, and the purple-red sky looked so ominous.

There is nothing in the sky... No, to be precise, there are tiny, block-like things.

If you look at it with the naked eye, it seems to have a jagged feel like in a VR game.

"Imaginary space?" Cecilia felt a very strong reaction of Honkai energy, but no matter how powerful the Honkai energy reaction was, it could not erode her.

Cecilia's body is the most special among the Shaniyat, and the power from the Shaniyat has been purified and classified.

She has an extremely powerful "Saniyat Holy Blood" in her body that is powerful enough to destroy everything, so the Honkai energy cannot invade her body at all.

Another part of Shaniyat's enhanced power acts on her body, giving her body extremely powerful strength and the ability to control Honkai energy.

However, this kind of physique also brings disadvantages, that is, Cecilia's body is in a dangerous state of balance. Once the balance is broken, Cecilia is very likely to die directly.

And because of the effect of "Saniyat Holy Blood" in destroying Honkai energy, even Kiana's "Power of Death" cannot save it.

This is also the fundamental reason why Kiana has never tried to use her power on Cecilia.

"There is no light source, but it does not hinder vision. Where is this place?" Cecilia looked around. There seemed to be nothing except the blood-red desert...

"Hmm? What's that?" Cecilia narrowed her eyes slightly and looked into the distance.

As far as she could see, there seemed to be something pitch black.

"Since there's nothing around, why not go over and take a look?" Cecilia made this decision not because she was not vigilant enough, but because she had no other choice.

Instead of wandering around like a headless fly in this red desert where there is nothing, it is better to go there and try your luck.

If that doesn't work, maybe you can try cutting your hand.

Relying on the power of holy blood, perhaps we can break this deadlock.

Anyway, let’s go and take a look first.

...

......

[Teleport from here → Forest of Steles]

"This is..." Cecilia looked at the sign in front of her with an indescribable expression. "So weird... So suspicious..."

Half a meter in front of the signpost, there is a very simple magic circle.

"..." Cecilia was silent for a while, and then chose to step onto the magic circle.

Because she had just walked for a long distance and found that the distance between her and the "Forest of Steles" did not seem to have shortened at all.

In this case, perhaps the only way to be teleported is by stepping onto this magic circle.

There is nothing we can do about this, so let's just give it a try.

Cecilia took a step forward and stood in the magic circle.

Then, she suddenly felt a flash before her eyes, and then many stone tablets appeared in her mind.

Each stone tablet seemed to have a name carved on it.

Cecilia just glanced at it, and before she had time to take a closer look, a voice suddenly came.

"Welcome! Cecilia Shaniat."

"!" The sudden voice startled Cecilia. She turned her head and saw a woman in purple and white clothes standing in the center of the "Forest of Steles".

The clothes are not ugly, but they give people a weird and awkward feeling for some reason.

Of course, what made Cecilia feel even more awkward was that...she had a face that she saw in the mirror every day.

"You are..." Cecilia looked at the woman in front of her and said after a moment's hesitation. "[Manager of the Stigmata]?"

Anna had talked to me about this before after she awakened the stigmata, and she also mentioned the [Manager of the Stigmata of Shaniyat].

Anna also mentioned the other party's name... Because he is the [Manager of Shaniyat's Stigma], the other party's last name is naturally Shaniyat.

"Misterine Shaniat?"

"Yes, I am Mistrylin." Mistrylin seemed very happy when she heard Cecilia's words.

It was a pity for Mistrine that he had borrowed her appearance without permission but had never talked to her.

And now, this regret has finally been made up.

'Why do I feel like she seems so happy?' Cecilia didn't quite understand what Misterine was so happy about at the moment.

"Well, hello, Misterine... were you the one who pulled me into the [Stigmata Space]?" Cecilia asked in confusion.

Before, Kiana had detected Cecilia's situation after learning about the [Stigmata of Shaniyat]. Theoretically, it was unlikely that Cecilia would awaken the stigmata because the power from the stigmata had been divided and then unified, forming a dangerous balance.

If Cecilia awakens the stigmata, her life will be in danger.

Kiana has already told Cecilia about this... This is also one of the fundamental reasons why Kiana has not helped Cecilia.

"That's right." Misterlin admitted generously. "In fact, I pulled you into the [Stigmata Space] not because you will awaken the stigmata, nor is it a trial."

"Why is that?" Cecilia was even more confused.

This is not it, and that is not it...Does [Stigmata Space] have any other functions?

"It's actually like this... For various reasons, I may appear in reality next." Mistelline explained to Cecilia. "Because you are the current 'Master of Shaniyate', I need to communicate with you."

Simply put, Mistelline came to report to Cecilia.

"Appear in 'reality'? Is such a thing possible?" Cecilia knew, of course, that people like Kiana and Sirin had the ability to convert 'imaginary numbers' into 'real numbers'. If she used their powers, it would be easy for Misterin to have a 'real number' body.

But looking at Mistierine's expression, it seems that she has no intention of borrowing the power of Kiana and the others.

"It can be done. As for the principle...it's a little hard to explain." Misterine said she didn't want to explain.

"I see." Cecilia nodded to show that she understood.

Since Misterine doesn't want to explain, forget it.

"Since you are willing to come and communicate with me, does that mean that after you leave the [Stigmata Space], you plan to live in 'Saint Freya'?"

"Although I don't have the physiological needs of humans, I can still enjoy them... In the [Stigmata Space], I can see many of Shaniyat's memories and get some feelings..."

"But, it's like I know the cake is delicious, and I know how delicious the cake is, but I have never really tasted it."

"So I want to try it." Mistrylin clapped her hands playfully and asked Cecilia for help. "Is this okay?"

"Well... if you want, it's not impossible." Cecilia nodded after pondering for a moment.

It is one thing that Mistelline is willing to come to her to report, but Mistelline can show up without the help of Kiana and the others' power, which means that Mistelline actually has a way to sneak away.

In that case, she might as well just go along with Misterine.

"Thank you~" Mistrylin nodded happily. "Since you agreed... then I will give you some gifts."

Mistellin said, turning to look at the 'Forest of Steles'.

Although Cecilia cannot awaken the stigmata for the time being, Mistrine herself is the [Stigmata of Shaniat], and after coming to this timeline, she happens to become the administrator.

As long as the proportion is maintained, Misterine will be able to further enhance Cecilia's abilities, whether weakening or strengthening them.

Of course...Cecilia may not need such strong strength.

So Mistierine also specially prepared beauty services for Cecilia.

"Ready... huh?" Just when Mistelline had prepared the 'gift' to give to Cecilia, she turned around and found that Cecilia was gone. "What's going on... not right?!"

Mistryn's eyes widened in disbelief.

She couldn't even feel Cecilia's presence!

As the [Manager of the Stigmata of Shanyat], Mistellin can sense the location of anyone who bears the [Stigmata of Shanyat], even if it is only a broken stigmata.

But now...she couldn't find even a trace of Cecilia.

"What... happened?"

...

......

Although she was standing in the bloody desert just now, Cecilia found herself here in the blink of an eye.

Completely different from the bloody desert, this place looks like a sea of ​​stars.

And under her feet, there seemed to be streams of light flowing forward, and these streams of light turned into a passage, guiding Cecilia along the passage.

"This is..." Cecilia looked at the passage below her feet and then at the endless sea of ​​stars. "Ha... What happened today..."

Cecilia pressed her forehead with a headache.

She clearly just wanted to exercise and lose some weight...how come she encountered so many problems?

However...after having the previous experience in the bloody desert, Cecilia didn't care about anything else and simply moved forward along the passage.

From Cecilia's perspective, she had only taken a dozen steps when an insurmountable "wall" appeared in front of her.

She reached out her hand and touched the wall that she couldn't cross or see.

Cecilia could feel that if she really wanted to, she could squeeze through...but her instinct told her that such behavior was very dangerous.

However, at this moment, the "wall of air" in front of Cecilia suddenly disappeared, and the passage under her feet appeared again.

"It seems that the person who brought me here is behind this..." Cecilia pursed her lips, and then she stepped across the line.

Everything in front of her eyes was rapidly passing by, and she seemed to be accelerated to an imperceptible speed in an instant, and in this instant she crossed the endless sea of ​​stars and reached the other side.

When everything was traversed, Cecilia finally saw what the "other side" looked like.

In the distance, columns like the Parthenon stand tall, forming a temple.

There are many butterflies flying around in the green grass.

Clusters of gorgeous violets and purple irises dyed the courtyard a dreamy purple.

In the center of the courtyard stands a white pavilion that looks like a birdcage.

"This pavilion..." Cecilia felt that this pavilion looked very familiar. When she lived on the floating island, she often had afternoon tea here.

And this pavilion is very similar to the pavilion at home.

[Welcome, loving and beautiful soul.] At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

It was difficult for Cecilia to tell the other person's age directly from the voice. Apart from being able to feel that the other person was a woman, she could not tell the specific voice.

Moreover, Cecilia discovered that the other party's voice sounded directly in her mind.

However, Cecilia successfully locked the other party's position in the first time... because He was sitting in the pavilion surrounded by flowers and grass.

The skirt, like a sea of ​​stars, blends into the earth and spreads out, creating a sea of ​​stars in the sea of ​​flowers.

There are occasionally a few purple hairs among the pure white hair. The combination of the two colors makes her hair look like a very light purple.

Impenetrable darkness covered her face. She held a teacup in her hand. Cecilia clearly saw her raise the cup towards her as an invitation.

"Now that we're here, there's nothing to be afraid of." Cecilia took a deep breath and then walked forward boldly.

Every time she took a step, a piece of open space would naturally appear on the ground for her to land.

[Hehe~Would you like some tea?] When Cecilia came to Him, He chuckled. [I’m pretty good at making tea.]

"...Please give me a cup of black tea." For some reason, Cecilia seemed to have lost her vigilance and easily accepted the other party's proposal.

[Then please take a seat first...] He quietly appeared behind Cecilia, put his arms around Cecilia's shoulders, and gently touched Cecilia's cheek with a loving gesture.

[Cecilia Shaniat.]
