Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

"Is it actually me who is stuck here...?"

She didn't know why she appeared in this world, nor did she know what happened to the world she used to live in...

But reason told Kiana that something bad must have happened...

[Artificial End] is their last trump card, but when she was about to use it, she disappeared... Although she kept persuading herself that it was okay, just like in the novel, when the protagonist left the world, the time of the world would stop...

But reason completely rejected this possibility...

Whether it is compensation psychology or some other mechanism... Kiana is not sure, and does not want to fully understand...

Perhaps she is like Kevin, shouldering the responsibility of an era.

But the difference with Kevin is that she came to this world, a world where the tragedy she knew had not yet begun...she has the power to change all tragedies.

So everything about her is clamoring for her to do it, to take action, to change everything...

"Am I becoming more like Kaslana, or am I becoming less like myself?"

When did I, who used to be so reckless, become so cautious...

She was clearly changing everything, modifying all the tragedies.

But she seems to be afraid to change everything, and even has to be careful with her relationships with people around her, for fear that it will affect something...

She kept saying "wait until everything is settled" and in her heart...but wasn't this also the fear in her heart?

She was afraid that everything she knew would become invalid, and that she would not be able to bear the end.

"More than a decade ago... I complained about Otto, Kevin... about these seekers who left everyone behind..."

Otto was trapped in the past five hundred years, unable to move for a moment. Everything he did and thought was to seek the "Tao" in his heart.

Kevin did the same thing, leaving everyone behind and staying alone at the moment of destruction fifty thousand years ago.

"When did I start to become like them?"

Reaching out to the obsession in my heart, I no longer care about everything around me. Chasing and escaping...

'What kind of person is Kiana Kaslana...' She couldn't help but start thinking about this question. 'Am I still Kiana Kaslana? Or... Kiana Atagina?'

Kiana Kaslana is a little sun that can illuminate many people, but she is also a fool who will cause trouble and mess up everything.

But what about Kiana Atagina...

She seemed to be getting more and more accustomed to playing the role of the perfect "self" in her mind.

It will not cause trouble to anyone, can perfectly solve everyone's troubles, can bring safety to more people, and can protect more and more people...

She seemed to have put on a mask inadvertently, becoming an omnipotent and perfect person who could illuminate more people... But the closer she got to the sun, the colder it became. She was a coward who tried to escape from all ties...

"Xilin..."

"?" Hearing Kiana's voice, Xilin trembled, and the uncontrollable excitement and joy in her eyes quietly dissipated, and she raised her head and looked.

Similar yet different, the two pairs of eyes of × and + are looking at each other.

"Kiana?!" Seeing Kiana's slightly red eyes, Xilin's heart trembled suddenly, and she quickly stood up and stretched out her hand to hold Kiana's cheek. "What's wrong with you... I'm sorry... Did I go too far?"

Xilin didn't expect Kiana's reaction to be so big, and she was a little at a loss.

"No, Xilin..." Qiana shook her head slightly and held Xilin's hands that were holding her face. "Thank you, Xilin."

"?" Xilin looked at Kiana blankly, not knowing why Kiana suddenly thanked her.

C.118 Is the love progress finally about to begin?

"Kiana...are you okay?" Seeing that Kiana seemed to be fine, Xilin also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the ambiguous atmosphere from before has disappeared.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Kiana nodded with a smile, although it seemed no different from usual.

But if you look closely, you might find that Kiana's smile is now a little wider than usual...but it is also this subtle difference in the arc that makes Kiana look a little silly.

"I'm glad you're alright... Let's stop here today..." Xilin carelessly rubbed her fingertips, which seemed to still have some tenderness. 'No wonder Kiana always does this kind of thing...'

Xilin felt a rare and wonderful feeling.

Not only is there a sense of satisfaction in terms of touch, but there is also a sense of psychological satisfaction, so now she can really understand why Kiana always likes to touch herself.

"But... well, I did touch her legs once." After watching the number on the system's taskbar change, Xilin nodded in satisfaction. [System... can this really improve favorability?]

[Please rest assured, host. This is the result of the [End Cocoon]'s analysis of data from several civilization cycles.]

[Okay...] Although Xilin also finds it a little unbelievable, since it is the [Cocoon of the End]... it can be anything strange...

"Forget it, let's not think about it anymore." Xilin withdrew her hands.

"Xilinlin, tell me, what task did the system give you?" Kiana was a little curious about what task Xilin had received.

Judging from the current situation, the host of the system is [The Cocoon of the End], which means that the task Xilin received is theoretically issued by [The Cocoon of the End]...

Kiana is indeed very obsessed with [The End], but no matter what the reason is, she wants to understand [The End] more.

“Hmm…” Xilin lowered her eyes, looking somewhat guilty.

But soon, Xilin chose to tell Kiana the content of her mission.

"Kiana, the system said that the tasks I accepted and the rewards for the tasks are actually the results of analysis by [Cocoon of the End] based on the data of the civilization cycle, so the data it gives should be accurate, right?" Xilin decided to explain the system's reward mechanism to Kiana first.

"Hmm? Is that really the case?" After hearing what Xilin said, Kiana thought for a moment and then nodded.

In fact, to put it simply, it is a super database that contains data on several cycles of civilization.

If this "data" refers to the accumulation of several civilization cycles, then the amount of data will be incredibly huge.

If [Cocoon of the End] really has such a mechanism, then it is indeed [omniscient and omnipotent] to a certain extent, because any development path will be recorded and analyzed by [Cocoon of the End].

Just like many times, the so-called prediction of the future is actually based on the combination of every small event and the final predicted result.

Using such data to analyze a person...it couldn't be simpler. After all, 'a person's character is his destiny'.

"Then Xilin, what kind of reward did the system give you?" Kiana became even more curious.

She already knew that the system would not directly give out things like cultivation, magic weapons, and attack methods as described in those novels...

For example, for Mei Raiden, the system will only help her develop the most suitable training method for her, so that Mei Raiden can become stronger faster and better.

Since the system does not have any rewards for "cheating", what kind of rewards will Xilin get from the system?

"Uh..." Xilin shrank her neck guiltily.

"Hmm?" Noticing Xilin's unnatural expression, Kiana came closer to Xilin. "What's wrong? Is the system's reward something difficult to talk about?"

"No..." Xilin shook her head. "The rewards given by the system are actually..."

Xilin will be able to obtain various values ​​similar to "favorability" by completing tasks.

"Hiss... Is it a reward of mental interference nature?" Kiana pinched her chin and frowned. "No... It shouldn't be."

According to Xilin's description, she had previously obtained Ellie's "love value"... In theory, [Cocoon of the End] should not be able to interfere with Ellie.

'That's what the system said itself. It's actually the result obtained based on a large amount of data analysis...'

"So...Xilin, what you did just now was actually to complete the task?" Kiana asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Well... not entirely..." Xilin shook her head slightly.

In addition to completing the task, Xilin realized after coming back from the irrepressible excitement...

The system did not force her to complete the task, but she wanted to do so herself.

After all, theoretically speaking, the system doesn't actually provide anything at all.

There is no mechanism for erasing or rewarding... It just gives Sirin guidance and methods to increase Kiana's "favorability". The one who really decides whether to perform these tasks is still Sirin.

To put it bluntly, Xilin was given a 'strategy book', and whether to execute the plan in the 'strategy book' depends entirely on Xilin's own ideas.

"Actually, it's because the system showed me a piece of data...so I feel a little unconvinced..." Xilin said embarrassedly.

"data?"

"Yeah." Xilin nodded, then raised her eyes and looked at Kiana. After a moment, Xilin used her strong enough mental power to activate an ability similar to illusion.

Although Xilin herself does not possess the [Power of Consciousness], Xilin's powerful mental power still allows her to possess some mental abilities. However, the effect of using mental power is far inferior to that of the [Power of Consciousness].

With the same mental power, the effect of [Power of Consciousness] is 100%, and the effect of most [Psychic Perception Fusion Warriors] is 60%~80%, so Xilin's effect may be only about 20%.

But it is still easy to use to perform some simple illusions.

Through eye contact, Xilin projected the system screen she saw to Kiana.

Then, Kiana fell silent as she looked at the neatly arranged row of "The Way of a Man" in Xilin's task bar and the hundreds of numbers behind it.

"That's wrong! I didn't..." Kiana wanted to say that she had never touched Xilin's breasts, but soon she found a few fragments in her memory.

In fact, it wasn't Kiana who really did it, but it was a rare mistake that occurred over the past decade...but after all, the time span was so long, so the cumulative number of times was about dozens.

The knees, thighs, waist, buttocks...

Kiana was powerless to refute it because it was absolutely true.

She really liked lying on Xilin's legs, then hugging Xilin's waist or pinching Xilin's legs.

Occasionally, after the hands around Xilin's waist dropped down, he would quietly pinch Xilin's butt.

"Actually... I don't mind..." Seeing Kiana looking so embarrassed that she was considering crawling through the crack in the ground, Xilin said quickly. "I know Kiana likes to do these things... I don't mind."

As the one being touched, how could Xilin not feel anything? She just didn't mind Kiana touching her.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Kiana coughed hard several times. "Stop talking! I plead guilty!"

Kiana held down Sirin's shoulders.

"Wow... How could you molest Sirin!" Kiana reflected on her past behavior. "But Sirin is so cute..."

Thinking of Xilin's indulgence towards her, Qiana wanted to... kiss her!

But never mind, not now!

"Since you've pleaded guilty, from now on... our roles will be swapped." Xilin said, reaching out and poking Kiana on the waist.

After being poked, Kiana let out a few silly laughs, then jumped away, holding her waist.

But she did keep Xilin's words in mind.

"Role reversal?"

Imagine that when I get home from get off work, Xilin will lie on my lap...

"How should I put it... kind of cute?" But that's just my imagination, I don't know what it will be like when it actually happens.

I'm looking forward to it a little.

"Okay, Kiana, don't worry about it anymore." Xilin waved her hand at Kiana. "These tasks...are not urgent."

"That's true... ahaha..." Thinking of the large number and the many parts that are difficult to mention, Kiana felt even more guilty. "Well, it's a bit hot today..."

"Yeah, a little bit." Although Xilin didn't feel hot at all, but since Kiana said so, she just let her be.

"Then I'll go take a shower." Kiana said and was about to leave.

In fact, she didn't feel hot...but when Xilin touched her just now...she did sweat a little.

"Oh." Xilin nodded.

----

"Your Majesty." Seeing Xilin coming downstairs, Bella greeted her as usual. "What's wrong, Your Majesty? You seem to be in a good mood?"

Bella asked with a smile when she noticed that there seemed to be little pink bubbles all around Xilin.

"Is it because the Queen drew Kao today?" Bella guessed.

Xilin's luck is not obvious. Although it is not extreme... but it has nothing to do with luck. It is just that she can be lucky once or twice occasionally.

"No, the Queen and Kiana are in the room..." Bella remembered that Sirin was in the room with Kiana just now...

"So, it was Kiana-sama who helped me draw the card, right?"

It's not Bella's fault for thinking this way. Bella has become indifferent to the romance between the two queens. She's desperate. Let love be what it is.
