Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

C.100 Hihihihihihihi!

"If Bronya hadn't had those experiences, would she have been like this? She's so cute." With one hand on her cheek, Mistlin listened to Alexandra's story about her daughter's experiences with a smile on her face, and her heart was filled with joy.

Although in this timeline, she and Alexandra never had any intersection.

No...even in the past timeline, she and Alexandra had no real intersection in theory.

Because she was not the one named 'Misterine' by Alexandra, but the one who inherited the name.

But unlike inheritance in the conventional sense, she possesses the memories of 'Misterine', but she and 'Misterine' are two completely different people.

The reason why I came here to see Alexandra was mainly because of some "obsession" in my heart.

Seeing that Alexandra had a happy and stable life because of Kiana, Mistryn felt a deep sense of relief in her heart.

As for Bronya on the side...because she has both parents, she doesn't have a bad childhood like Bronya in the previous "timeline".

Although she has good military qualities, she is still far behind the Ural Silver Wolf who was a young soldier and a killer...

But all this comes at a price. The strength of the 'Ural Silver Wolf' comes from the misfortunes it has experienced.

And Bronya has a happy family and a happy childhood.

In Misterine's opinion, it is worth it to exchange such a life just for the cost of "power".

"Being able to see Alexandra and Bronya like this... I think Kiana's choice might be the right one... although she had to make such a choice at the time." Misterine thought of [End Kiana] who resolutely reversed time.

She knew what a sin she would bear for everything she did, but between the 'end' and 'restart' of everything, she had no choice.

"But... Raiden Mei has already left a backup plan for 'another time', giving birth to the Herrscher of Origin in advance. Bronya, that smart child, should also find a way to leave a backup plan, right?" Misterine looked at Bronya, thinking secretly in her heart.

The backup plan left by [Shigen Mei] was not aimed at Raiden Mei, but at [Hersher of Origin]. What she left behind was powerful strength, combat experience, and future crises.

If the person Mei Sigen saw at the end was not Mei Raiden, Mei Sigen would not have told the truth to Herrscher of Origin.

"So...what did Bronya do? "Misterine didn't see anything special about Bronya.

Yes, the "First Generation Mistress" once concluded that Bronya was just an ordinary child. She did not have strong adaptability to Honkai energy, nor did she inherit her mother's stigmata.

Bronya in front of us, because of the various medicines developed by Kiana, has a strong resistance to Honkai energy. Even if she encounters a Honkai outbreak, she will not be infected by Honkai energy, but that's all...

After all, in the eyes of the 'First Generation Mistress', if it weren't for the [X-10] plan, Bronya would not have the qualifications to be a warrior.

...

......

Mistelline did not stay too long. After all, in Alexandra's eyes, she was just a Valkyrie who happened to pass by. It was a bit strange for her to be a guest. If she stayed too long, it would inevitably make Alexandra suspicious.

Although Alexandra seems to be well protected by her husband and daughter, so she is indeed a little naive, she is not stupid.

Therefore, Misterine's purpose this time was actually just to establish some connection with Alexandra. There would be plenty of opportunities for in-depth communication in the future.

After Mistelline left, Bronya quickly contacted Kiana and confirmed Mistelline's identity once again.

Although Mistelline's face, which was exactly the same as Cecilia's, was enough to explain some things, Bronya felt that it would be better to confirm it further. After all, Mistelline, who suddenly ran over, looked suspicious no matter how you looked at her.

With Kiana's reply, Bronya felt relieved.

...

......

"Bronya has already confirmed it. Whether she really didn't leave any backup or I can't find it, it's not my business anymore." Misterine put the matter behind her and after confirming the location, she hid in the tall building again.

And this time, the target she wants to "surveil" is Xier!

Seele lives less than a hundred meters away from Bronya. Perhaps because she likes to adapt to local customs, the decoration of Seele's house is similar to Bronya's, but it also has some Estonian style.

"Xi'er is such a good kid, whether it's the current Xi'er or the Xi'er in the past." Looking at Xi'er sitting at the desk doing homework, Mistrylin nodded slightly. "But... she doesn't seem to be here."

Mistrine could clearly feel the aura of the stigmata on Seele's body, but the aura of the stigmata was very weak...it was just 'possessing' rather than 'awakening'.

Such a stigma can only give Seele strong adaptability to Honkai energy, but cannot give Seele any power at all.

Just when Mistierine was wondering, she suddenly felt a chill on her back.

A huge flag instantly appeared in Mistlin's hand, and she blocked the incoming attack with her backhand.

It was a huge scarlet sickle, and Mistlin was very familiar with the person who attacked her with the sickle.

The inner layer of the black hair was blood red, and the equally blood red eyes were filled with hostility.

But it was just hostility, and Mistrynne did not sense any murderous intent.

"So, you have already appeared in the world, [Xier]." Looking at the girl who attacked her, Mistierine did not have any dissatisfaction, but said with a smile.

Yes, [Xier].

Dressed in black and red, with hostility written all over her face and a strong aura emanating from her body, Xier is completely different from the good girl who is doing her homework over there.

"【Yutu】, why are you here?" Seeing that she could accurately call out her identity, 【Xier】 knew her identity.

Perhaps it is because they are all [Ideas], and [Ideas] itself is the product of the [Stigmata Project], and is also closely related to the [Power of the End].

Perhaps it is for this reason that these [ideas] can retain their own identities in the reversed time of [End Kiana].

It’s just... maybe it’s because when [End Kiana] reversed time and went back to 2000, Seele’s mother was just a few days away from becoming pregnant and Seele had not yet been born, so [Seele] lost its host and was completely separated from Seele.

At the beginning, [Seele] did not have her own body and could not manifest herself. She could only wander in the gap between [imaginary numbers], [quantum] and [real numbers]. But this was nothing. After all, Seele had experienced the loneliness of drifting in the quantum sea when she fell into it.

As for how she finally had a body... [Seele] said she had no idea. Anyway, after Seele grew up a little and the stigmata successfully appeared, she was 'anchored' like she had an 'anchor point' and had her own body.

However, in order not to scare Xier, she did not appear directly in front of Xier.

Then, as time went by, perhaps because he was homesick, [Xier] became more and more worried that he would scare Xier, and he didn't dare to appear in front of Xier at all.

She was even worried that she would affect Kiana's plan. Every time Kiana came to find Seele and the others, she would hide far away, so even Kiana was completely unaware of Seele's existence.

(Kiana Ainz Atagena: Do I... have a plan?)

"Why can't I be here?" Hearing Xier's question, Mistlin put one hand on her waist, touched the flag to the ground, and asked back with confidence.

She, Mistellin, has always been like this...to put it simply, she doesn't speak human language.

"What is your purpose in sneaking up on Seele and Big Sister?" After hearing Misterine's annoying answer, Seele's eyes became even more hostile.

"Don't be so hostile." Mistrylin smiled and spread her hands. "I just happened to come over and take a look."

"Just like you will stay here, I am just a little interested in 'things that were once familiar'."

"Huh? Where on earth did you get the word 'just like me' in your speech?" [Xi'er] raised her eyebrows with a strange expression. "But, you have finished reading it now, right? Leave here as soon as you are done."

"Otherwise..." [Xier] twisted the giant sickle in his hand, showing an expression that said 'otherwise I will chop you down'.

"Oh~ I was going to leave, but now~~" Mistylin deliberately dragged out the sound.

Mistlin's long tone made Xier alert. She knew that this flawed and nasty woman was bound to cause trouble.

"Your family..." Before Xier finished her words, the strange fluctuations instantly affected Xier.

In Misterine's hand, colorful particles spread and enveloped [Seele], and then dissipated after a moment.

And [Xi'er], who was wrapped in the particles, also dissipated.

"Oh~ Don't thank me too much~" Misterine had a somewhat bad but very happy smile on her face.

...

......

"Hmm?" Xier, who was doing homework, seemed to feel something, and she raised her head in confusion.

Then, she caught a glimpse of a faint light out of the corner of her eye and turned her head to look in confusion.

Almost at the same time Xier turned her head, a figure instantly solidified in the light spot.

[Xier], holding a giant sickle, wearing a black and red dress and combat boots, suddenly appeared in the room.

"!?" Xier stood up instinctively.

She didn't feel any danger. After all, the giant sickle looked very powerful. But in Xier's opinion...this thing should be a toy, right?

But Xier's shock soon changed direction, and her eyes fell on the girl who suddenly appeared.

The long black and red hair falls to the waist, and the black and red dress looks gorgeous and handsome.

The hair accessories emitting red light look very mysterious.

The girl in front of him was like the legendary god of death or a vampire, elegant and mysterious.

But what really shocked Xier was that the girl in front of her had a face almost exactly like her own...the only difference was that she looked two or three years older than her.

(0 _ 0)Xier was stunned. Her bright eyes turned into small eyes filled with confusion.

(つд?) After a moment, Xier stood up suddenly and covered her eyes with her hands.

"Hurry up and cover your eyes and don't look at me, it's a clone!" Xier covered her eyes and shouted loudly to [Xier].

According to legend, if there is a person in the world who looks very similar to you but is obviously not related to you, then both of them are avatars of each other. If the avatars meet and look at each other, it means that the lives of both of them are about to end!

"Ah?" Seeing Xier shouting so excitedly, Xier subconsciously obeyed her words and covered her eyes with her hands.

‘Clang! ’

With a loud bang, the giant sickle in Xier's hand fell to the ground.

This sudden sound startled Xi'er and [Xi'er], but that's not the point. The point is...

'Pah-Pah'

Along with the urgent footsteps, there was a knock on the door.

"Xier! Did something fall? Are you hurt?!" came the mother's anxious voice, and the door handle was turned at the same time.

Without giving them any time to react, Xier's mother opened the door.

The scene before her made her, an adult, freeze in place.

I saw my daughter covering her eyes with her hands, not daring to look at the girl in front of her.

The girl, whose face could not be seen, had her eyes covered, completely opposite to her daughter's.

What just made the loud noise was actually a huge sickle lying on the ground.

Although she thought the sickle was just a toy at first, she noticed the cold light of the sickle a moment later.

There is no doubt that this is a terrible weapon!

Who is this girl in black and red?

"Who are you? Why are you in Xier's room!" Although she was also very scared, she still shouted out of concern for her daughter.

[Xier] covered her eyes and turned around.

However, because she covered her eyes with her hands, even her face was covered, so her mother could not see her face.

"I am... [Xier]..." Instinctively, she said the name they shared, which was once recognized by Xier.

C.101 She is so cute, I like her so much!

"I am... [Xi'er]..."

[Xier] hesitated for a moment, and finally said the name she had.

This name was the one Xier shared with her, so she didn't want to give it up no matter what.

Just like Kiana, even though she changed her last name to 'Kaslana', she still kept her name 'Kiana'.

"Xier?" Hearing the same name as her daughter's, Xier's mother looked carefully at the black and red girl in front of her.

There is a slight difference in the voice, but it is very similar. It’s just that Xier has a gentle personality, so she speaks very softly, giving people a very gentle feeling.

And the black and red girl in front of him had a firm and confident tone in her voice.

Her voice is also a little more mature than Xier's, perhaps because she is two or three years older than Xier.

In addition, Xier's mother did feel some unusual sense of familiarity from this girl.

"Can you put your hands down?" The mother stared at the girl, her previous tension slightly relieved, and she asked slowly.

"..." [Xi'er] pursed her lips slightly. She did not move her hand directly, but turned towards Xi'er. "Xi'er..."
