Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

Although it was Ellie who had always said that she was her mother, when she was held in Ellie's arms before, she did feel the hug as if it transcended time.

It was a warmth I hadn't felt in more than a decade, a feeling different from being in anyone else's arms...

Although she hasn't been hugged by many people.

"Haha, that's the expected reaction." Ellie chuckled and spread her hands. "Come on, I want to hug Xilin too."

"...Hmph!" Xilin snorted, but did not go over... Although she seemed to have quietly moved her butt, slightly closer to Ellie... about two centimeters.

"If Xilin doesn't come over, I'll go over there~" Without giving Xilin a chance to react, Ellie put her arms around Xilin's shoulders and held her in her arms.

"Sure enough... they really look alike..." Leaning on Ellie's chest, Xilin's eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence.

Although the feeling happened more than ten years ago, the warmth from my mother seems to be engraved on my soul.

She felt that Ellie's arms were really like her mother's.

"Although she's a bit arrogant, she's really cute." Ellie quietly reached out her hand and placed it on Xilin's head.

Faced with Ellie's actions, Xilin seemed to tremble slightly, but she did not mean to refuse.

Ellie gently stroked Celine's hair, which was as soft and smooth as silk.

[Acting like a spoiled child to [Alicia's clone, Herrscher of the End]: 1/1]

[Daily Task: Completed]

[Task evaluation: F. Isn't this completely impossible?]

In Xilin's consciousness, the system indicated that Xilin's task had been completed and gave Xilin a very bad evaluation.

However...although the mission had been completed, Xilin had no intention of leaving Ellie's arms.

"If you want to sleep, just close your eyes." Ellie said softly in Xilin's ear, while gently patting Xilin's back, coaxing Xilin as if she were coaxing a baby.

The rhythmic caressing calmed all of Xilin's thoughts. At this moment, Xilin no longer wanted to think about anything.

"Who...are you..." Xilin raised her eyes and looked at the woman who had no obvious similarities with her except for her hairstyle.

"Don't think too much, just go to sleep." Ellie pushed aside Celine's bangs and kissed her forehead gently. "Or... Celine is still like when she was a child, and won't go to sleep until she has the 'magic of happiness'?"

"***☆********☆****"

Xilin could no longer hear the content of the magic spell, but the familiar tone and content finally brought Xilin back to consciousness.

"I fell asleep..."

After gently putting Xilin down and covering her with the quilt, Ellie got up.

'Have a sweet dream, my lovely child.'

Looking at Xilin with a slightly frowned brow, Ellie's lips gently brushed over her brows, smoothing them.

There are many Sirins in the endless parallel worlds, and even the [Hersher of the End] cannot truly save every Sirin.

And every time Xilin is saved in the world, a K-423 will disappear.

Sometimes you can't have your cake and eat it too, so even Ellie can only try her best to do what she wants to do.

...

......

"Aunt? Where's Xilin?" Kiana looked behind Ellie, but did not see Xilin following her down.

"Xilin was just acting like a spoiled child and then fell asleep~" Changing her gentle look when facing Xilin just now, Ellie raised her usual smile with a little disdain.

"Acting coquettishly? Why does it sound like someone fell down?" Kiana complained with a twitching eye.

"Hmm, it sounds a bit like that." Ellie nodded. "How about it? Kiana wants to try it too?"

Ellie spread her hands, indicating that Kiana could also rush over.

"I'll give it up." Kiana waved her hand quickly.

Are you kidding? Qibao and Mei are both here. If she pounces on them...wouldn't all her dignity be gone?

"What's wrong with that?" Ellie raised her eyebrows. "Hasn't Qibao ever acted like a spoiled child with Sister Cecilia?"

"Uh..." Kiana looked towards Qibao. "Wait, I suddenly have a question."

Kiana shouted, raising her hands.

"Student Kiana, please stand up and ask." Ellie pointed at Kiana and said.

"Aunt, you and Sister Cecilia, are you twins?"

"What a mess of names..." Ellie complained about the name given to Kiana. "Not really, there's a five-year age difference between me and Sister Cecilia."

"Oh..." Kiana nodded in understanding. 'They are not even twins, but they look exactly the same... It's amazing.'

"Oh, it doesn't seem so magical..." Kiana looked towards Qibao.

Kiana's looks are more like Kaslana's, and she doesn't look too much like Qibao.

But Qibao and Cecilia are very similar, but compared to Cecilia, Qibao's eyebrows and eyes are more heroic...

Then we can draw a conclusion.

Cecilia is the original Cecilia.

Ellie is a crappy version of Cecilia.

Qibao is a more heroic version of Cecilia.

Mistrynne...is a more annoying version of Cecilia.

"What a great face, it looks great in any version." Kiana thought so and pinched her face.

Hmm? Master Duo? .jpg

C.113 The system's rewards are weird

A few days passed, and the Anti-Entropy technicians who had made an appointment with Kiana also arrived at "St. Freya Academy".

Although it was largely a threat from Kiana, it was still a cooperation in name.

So the face that is due has to be given. At least on Saint Freya's side, Cecilia brought all the top executives to express a warm welcome to the visitors from Anti-Entropy and held a party.

Of course, on the second day of the party, everything that needed to be done officially got on track.

Anti-Entropy also sent a large number of people to join the three departments that Kiana is in charge of.

However, it is impossible for people who have just joined the project to integrate directly. There is a lot of data waiting for them to understand...

----

"Long time no see, Long... ahem, Dr. Tesla, and Dr. Einstein." Although I haven't had any in-depth interactions with them over the years.

But the relationship between them is still pretty good, at least they can be considered friends to a certain extent.

"Ms. Kiana, long time no see." Einstein nodded calmly. "In recent years, the drugs and vaccines you have developed have indeed made great contributions to the fight against Honkai. We are very grateful to you."

In fact, in addition to its contribution to all mankind, the vaccine developed by Kiana and her colleagues also brings many other benefits.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about researchers.

In the past, if researchers wanted to come into contact with anything related to Honkai, they had to take several strict protective measures to avoid being infected.

Moreover, those heavy isolation suits will make it inconvenient for researchers to move, and sometimes even cause losses.

After the development of Kiana's vaccine was completed, the difficulties in this regard were naturally resolved. Anti-Entropy, which was already short of money, could also reduce some unnecessary expenses.

"To be able to achieve these results, it is actually due to everyone's hard work. It has little to do with me personally," Kiana said modestly.

In fact, only Kiana herself thinks so.

Kiana knew very well that she was not very familiar with these academic things, and she did not have the brains to do scientific research.

But...when it comes to developing vaccines, Kiana is absolutely central.

Because of the existence of Kiana, human experiments can be conducted openly, and the vaccines developed can be completed through trial and error in a very short time.

Research requires cycles, and Kiana can shorten the cycle from several years to just one hour.

Therefore, with the addition of Kiana, various clinical experiments not only have no restrictions on experimental subjects, but also no time cost.

The cost of trial and error has been reduced by hundreds, thousands, or even more times.

What's more, Kiana can create experimental subjects suitable for every situation, and the quality gap between the experimental subjects is very small, so there is almost no fluctuation in the efficacy of the drugs.

Therefore, experiments that normally need to be conducted with great care can almost be conducted through trial and error with Kiana.

"Ms. Kiana is too modest." Einstein knew very well what role Kiana played in the department.

"Ms. Kiana, since you have such power, why do you choose the path of the 'Stigmata'?" Unlike Einstein, Tesla said whatever he thought. "With your ability, the development of the mecha can almost be called free, right?"

Anti-Entropy originally felt that it was a bad idea to use Valkyries as the main force on the battlefield of collapse, so it was more inclined to the research and development of mechas.

In Tesla's view, Kiana's achievements in materials engineering are extremely terrifying.

Such abilities should not be used to develop the "Stigmata".

After all, no matter what, the final development of "Stigmata" requires young people to go to the battlefield.

It would be better to focus on developing mecha.

"Dr. Tesla, the 'Stigmata' is a legacy left over from the previous civilization era. It contains a huge secret. The hope of defeating Honkai lies in the 'Stigmata'." Kiana certainly knew what Tesla meant, but the 'Stigmata'... is actually the safest and most familiar way to defeat Honkai.

Her power allows for unlimited trial and error in experiments, but Honkai does not allow for any chance for trial and error.

No, that's not right...or rather, for [Cocoon of the End], He has always been trial and error.

But for human civilization, one wrong step will lead to the cleansing of the [Cocoon of the End] and the start of the next reincarnation... or there will never be a next time.

Therefore, even with Ellie's suggestion and the fact that Ellie had successfully become the Herrscher of the End, Kiana was still more inclined to the 'Stigmata Plan'.

Call it obsession or call it stubbornness...

"Is that so?" After hearing Kiana's explanation, Tesla nodded and fell into thought.

Anti-Entropy must have studied the Stigmata to a certain extent, but the Stigmata can almost be said to be the highest technological achievement of the pre-civilization era, so it is very difficult to understand the secrets of the Stigmata.

So Anti-Entropy chose to give up after studying it for a while.

"Since we are here, we will trust your judgment, Ms. Kiana." Einstein nodded to Kiana. "In the next few days, we will step up our understanding of the project."

"Then I'll have to trouble Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla." Kiana breathed a sigh of relief.

...

......

"Ah! I can't take it anymore!" Kiana returned home and shouted loudly as soon as she stepped into the house.

"Here we go again." Silin, curled up in a corner of the sofa as usual, rolled her eyes at Kiana when she heard her scream.

This has become Kiana's daily routine when she returns home.

No matter if there is anything wrong or not, just say "I can't do it anymore" first and then talk about other things.

[Tasks are being distributed...]

[Daily Mission: Please comfort the tired [Herrscher of the Fire: Kiana]: 0/1]

"Huh?" After hearing the system's voice, Xilin's expression became a little complicated. [System, are you sick?]

[do~The system will detect the host's thoughts and issue corresponding tasks. Please do not hide your true feelings.] The system said in a cold voice.

[I... How could I?!] Xilin shouted angrily at the system in her mind.

"Silinlin~~" Seeing Silin curled up in a corner, Kiana walked lightly to the sofa, then rolled onto the sofa like a cat, and then squirmed a few times like a big caterpillar.

"What?" Hearing Kiana's voice, Xilin, who was still arguing with the system, responded subconsciously.

Kiana didn't say anything, but stretched out her hand and placed it on Xilin's exposed thigh, while her other hand touched Xilin's calf.

Kiana held up Xilin's feet and let her put them on the ground. Then she pressed on Xilin's shoulders and let her lean back against the back of the sofa.

With a few movements, Kiana "spread out" the curled-up Sirin, then held Sirin's waist and buried her face in Sirin's belly and lower abdomen.

"Ah~" Kiana let out a comfortable sigh and then remained motionless.
