Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

"Lilia, Xing is acting really strange." Rosalia said to Lilia beside her. "Why is she speaking so slowly today?"

"Stupid Rosaria, that's called elegance." Lilia had the same expression as Bronya as always... although the Bronya in this world would not normally have this kind of expression.

"You two are the only ones who understand." Kiana tapped each of them on the forehead. "Come on, the cake should be that good. If you break it..."

"I will complete the task!" Rosalia straightened her back.

"Don't worry, Teacher Kiana." Lilia nodded seriously.

Then she and Rosaria took the cake box, which was almost as tall as a person, from Kiana's hand.

A cake that is too big is difficult to bring in or take out, so the cake Kiana brought this time has five layers.

The two little girls, Rosalia and Lilia, nervously held the four corners of the cake box. With the sisters' synchronization rate that was enough to drive mecha warriors, they successfully moved the cake away.

"Huh? Is it Sister Kiana?"

B.24 Teasing Bronya

"Huh? Is it Sister Kiana?"

The soft voice caught Kiana's attention. Kiana let out a light exclamation and poked her head out of the car.

What caught my eye was a familiar girl with short dark blue shoulder-length hair.

"Xier? Why are you here today?" Seeing the girl, Kiana smiled and waved.

"I came here with sister Bronya." Seele responded obediently.

Although Kokolia had long since left the military, she had been in contact with Alexi before, and then got in touch with Kiana.

In short, after all these interactions, Kokolia received a lot of help from Alexi and became a close friend of Alexandra.

And with the 'iteration' of the children, most of the children in the [Cocolia Welfare Home] are now thirteen or fourteen years old, which is exactly the same age as Bronya, so Bronya can play with the children.

Later, Seele moved here with her parents, and after meeting Bronya, she was brought into this circle by Bronya.

A well-behaved, kind and lovely child like Xier naturally gained the recognition of other children quickly and became friends with them easily.

"Oh? Is Bronya here too?"

"Yeah." Seele looked back, but didn't see Bronya. "Huh? Where's Sister Bronya?"

Seele tilted her head in confusion. Bronya, who had clearly come here with her, suddenly disappeared.

"Maybe I'm shy." Kiana smiled, pinching her chin.

Xier calls her sister because when Xier first met Kiana, she was already eight years old.

But the first time Bronya saw Kiana was when she was just born.

Yes, that's right! Bronya was delivered by Kiana.

If Kiana hadn't rejected Alexandra's proposal, Kiana would probably be Bronya's "godmother" now.

Well, it’s the same as the relationship between Qibao and Theresa.

Although Qibao calls Theresa aunt, Theresa is actually Qibao's godmother.

In this relationship, Bronya calls Kiana the same as Qibao, "Auntie"...

Then something very interesting happened.

Seele calls Bronya "Sister Bronya" and Kiana "Sister Kiana".

But Bronya calls Kiana 'Auntie'.

...

......

"Fortunately, I bought a lot of gifts this time, otherwise there would be nothing for you." After entering the welfare home and seeing Bronya, Kiana rubbed Bronya's face several times without hesitation. "Although I didn't expect Bronya and the others to come today, fortunately I have prepared gifts."

Kiana actually prepared quite a few gifts, and naturally would not miss Bronya and Seele.

But she didn't have much time today, so she planned to leave the gift at the welfare home.

I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

"Come to think of it, Bronya must have been malnourished since she was a child." Looking at Bronya in front of her, who was almost as tall as the Bronya in her memory, Kiana nodded with some relief.

In her world, Bronya has always been a tiny thing. Probably because her childhood experiences hurt her "roots bones", Bronya stopped growing very early, and only had a normal body when she became the Herrscher of Reason.

But it was obvious that Bronya was already seventeen years old at the time. She was clearly in the fastest growing period of adolescence, but she still looked like she was thirteen or fourteen years old.

And this Bronya in front of me is only almost fourteen years old this year, but she has already surpassed 'Bronya'.

Well... although there is no difference in height, the curve of her chest has surpassed Bronya's!

"I'm grown up now and don't need any gifts." Bronya said vaguely as Kiana rubbed her face.

"What are you talking about?" Kiana let go of Bronya's face. "You are still children before you reach adulthood."

"It's a pity that Bronya's habit didn't stay."

Every time Kiana heard Bronya call herself "I", she felt a little sorry.

After saying that, Kiana found a gift suitable for Bronya from her own gifts.

"Limited Edition Houmei?!" Bronya, who claimed to have grown up, suddenly lit up her eyes.

"How about it? You're the grown-up 'kid', do you want it?" Kiana held Houmei and shook it twice.

"Gu..." Bronya's fingers moved, and it was obvious that she was very excited.

"It seems that Bronya doesn't really want it." Kiana shook her head with regret.

After hearing what Kiana said, Bronya couldn't help herself.

Then Kiana raised a sly smile. She seized the moment when Bronya wavered and opened her mouth, and stuffed the Houmei in her hand to Seele.

"Then give it to Xi'er." ("I want it!")

Kiana and Bronya's voices rang out at the same time.

"Eh? Eh?!" Xier subconsciously hugged Houmei, who was stuffed into Kiana's arms, and widened her eyes.

"..." Bronya opened her mouth.

Anyone could see that Bronya was completely depressed.

"Um... Sister Bronya..." Seele looked at Bronya and then at Kiana in embarrassment.

Although Seele also likes the Roaring Michelle in her hand, if Bronya likes it, Seele will of course give it to Bronya generously.

But the problem is that this is what Kiana gave herself...

Although theoretically, the things you give away are yours and you have the right to deal with them.

But...it's never a good idea to give away a gift that someone gave you.

"Pfft..." Kiana chuckled. "Bronya, look, what is this?"

The depressed Bronya raised her head in confusion.

In Kiana's hand is a yellow rabbit doll.

"Horum?! And it's a version I've never seen before?" Bronya widened her eyes in surprise.

"Hmm~" Kiana raised an eyebrow and handed the doll over.

After taking over this completely new Homunculus, Bronya quickly discovered that there was a tag hanging around its neck.

'Thank you for your continued support for "Hum's Adventure", and wish Bronya Zajicek a happy birthday. ——Muyue Honeysuckle'

"This is, this is?!" Bronya held the tag and widened her eyes in disbelief.

"This is a tag made by the author himself." Kiana gave Bronya a thumbs up. "I caught Uncle Yang and asked him to make this for me."

"But...why is it Happy Birthday?" Bronya blinked in confusion.

"Ah..." Because Kiana was really busy in the past few months, she didn't have time to give the birthday present she prepared before. "Because it was originally the birthday road, but I didn't expect you to come today."

Kiana said quickly, "How about it, do you like it?"

"Well, thank you...Aunt Kiana..." Bronya held the doll and shyly said what she used to call Kiana.

"Ho~ If I receive a gift, I'm 'Aunt Kiana', and if I don't have a gift, I'm 'Sister Kiana'?" Kiana narrowed her eyes and asked with a wicked smile.

"Well..."

B.25 Upcoming birthday

"You're so cute, Bronya." After teasing Bronya, Kiana kept smiling. "Next time, I have to find a way to record all of this. When I go back, I'll show it to Bronya."

Kiana was thinking about how to tease the Bronya she knew...

But all this is an unknown for Kiana.

She had been 'missing' for too long, so the only thing she could do now was to pray, praying that after she left the 'original world', the world would enter a state of stagnation.

But Kiana also knew that was impossible. The world would not stop moving forward just because she was missing.

She is not like the protagonist in some novel who possesses a system that can stop time.

And her world is not a 'world bubble' that can be condensed.

So, all Kiana can do now is pray...

"But..." Kiana had some thoughts in her mind. "I don't know what the final outcome of my world will be, but..."

"Since the power of [Herrser of the Void] cannot be found, then what about the power of [The End]..."

Whether in the 'original world' or here, what Kiana has to do remains the same.

"Maybe, I can become the [End] like I did in the 'Original World'..."

"But...is that kind of behavior 'feasible'?" Kiana couldn't be sure, and there was no way to determine it.

And something that made Kiana even more concerned had already happened, and that was the issue of [The Power of Origin].

Kiana discovered that the body of Alicia who suddenly appeared was very natural and perfect, not at all like a clone.

Then there is only one explanation for Alicia's existence... She has "descended" into the world again, just like the previous civilization.

But after further investigation, Kiana discovered that there was no trace of [Power of Origin] in Alicia's body.

"Although I don't know the real reason, the Herrscher still has the right to 'choose', which means that the legendary [Power of Origin] is still in effect."

"Sister Kiana, are you okay?" At this moment, Xier, who was softer than the Xier Kiana knew, walked up to Kiana and asked with concern.

"Huh? Me? I'm fine." Kiana responded with a smile.

"That's good...Xier just...no, nothing." Xier looked at Kiana, wanting to say something, but shook her head after a moment.

"As expected of Seele." Kiana knew that Seele must have seen some of the expressions she had just inadvertently revealed, so she was so concerned about her.

"Okay, Xi'er, go play with everyone. I'll be leaving soon." Kiana waved to Xi'er. "I've been very busy at work lately. I finally managed to take some time out to come and see everyone. After that, I'll have to go back to work."

"Sister Kiana works so hard." Although Xier is still a child, she doesn't need to go to work.

But when she thought about how hard she worked at school, Xier still felt a little touched by Kiana's hard work.

Although for Xier, it is actually a great thing to be able to learn knowledge that she doesn’t understand.

"It's okay actually." Kiana smiled and shook her head.

She is just busy during this period. In the ten years before this, Kiana was very idle...

No, going to school with Xilin is not idle...

----

After spending quite some time with the children, Kiana saw that the time was almost up, so she said goodbye to the children and headed for Changkong City.

She made an appointment with Raiden Mei today to go to Raiden Mei's house for a meal.
