Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

"Actually, Anna's ability is already very good." As the nominal 'deputy director', Theresa often hangs around Cecilia's office.

But compared to Cecilia who works diligently, Theresa usually just reads comics and watches videos.

It is of no benefit to Cecilia's work and may even interfere with Cecilia.

"Well...I think so." Cecilia nodded slightly.

Although this does not conform to the unwritten rules of Shaniyat and Kaslana, it does not matter since it is 'unwritten'.

The reason why Cecilia wanted to arrange Anna's "debut" was actually because she accidentally heard some rumors that Anna, as a member of the Shaniyat tribe, was afraid of death and hid her strength in every assessment.

But Anna is one of her daughter's best friends after all, so Cecilia knows Anna quite well.

That child would never have such thoughts. Since Anna's ability is not bad, then just arrange for her to make her debut.

"It would be a good idea to temporarily arrange for Anna to be a member of the stationed mission team for a year or two. This will also allow her to truly face several Honkai Impacts and gain some experience."

This is not Cecilia's selfishness. After all, an inexperienced captain is far more dangerous than the collapse itself.

B.51 I think I'm going to become a Herrscher!

"Speaking of which, Kiana should be back today, right? Or is she having so much fun in 'Changkong City' that she has forgotten about Saint Freya?" Theresa, who was reading a comic, raised her head and asked Cecilia.

"Well, Kiana sent a message saying that she will be back today, and she has already negotiated with Anti-Entropy. The Herrscher of Thunder will be taken over by us." Cecilia nodded slightly.

Although she used the word "receive", which didn't sound like a word referring to a person, in fact, all Cecilia had to do next was to allow Raiden Mei to enroll.

And as a Herrscher, Mei Raiden must have a lot to learn.

'St. Freya Academy' is not like Anti-Entropy, which has Einstein and Tesla, two of the most outstanding scientific researchers of the time, especially Tesla, an electrical expert.

But since Mei Raiden has chosen 'St. Freya Academy', they will do their best to train Mei Raiden.

As for the fact that Mei Raiden is a Herrscher...they have long been accustomed to facing Herrschers.

"Herrser of Thunder, ah..." Theresa sighed. "Such a big thing happened during the Second Collapse. If Kiana hadn't persuaded Sirin, the war that broke out would have caused an unimaginable disaster."

"And the results of this battle can be described as 'brilliant'."

In the face of a [Sequence Collapse], only seven people died.

Although there are still many people infected by Honkai energy, in fact, even if Kiana does not take action, as long as those infected with Honkai energy have the desire to survive, they can receive effective treatment.

After all, thanks to the efforts of Kiana and the scientific researchers at Satori, the Honkai that once caused a very high mortality rate with just a touch has now become a level of "guiding death".

Although Kiana and the others also discovered that after being infected with Honkai, some people would indeed have thoughts of self-destruction because of the Honkai, but this is usually a situation that only occurs to people who have completely lost hope in life and have already suffered from a series of mental illnesses such as severe depression.

Although this situation has not been resolved until now, it is much better than the initial situation.

"Yes." Cecilia nodded with some emotion. "The value of the Herrscher's power is indeed beyond human imagination."

"Even though Kiana's three powers have been deeply developed, their value is still far from reaching their limits."

"If it weren't for Kiana, it's hard to imagine how many lives would be taken by the collapse of 'Changkong City'."

"But speaking of which... where on earth did Kiana come from?"

"Theresa, it's been so many years, are you still struggling with this problem?" Cecilia asked with a smile after hearing Theresa's words.

"It's not a dilemma." Theresa put down the comic book in her hand, although she had not been thinking about it since she started talking to Cecilia. "It's just that Kiana has such a secret, which makes me very curious."

She had long stopped worrying about Kiana's identity, but every time she thought of Kiana's inexplicable appearance, Theresa became curious about her identity.

Although Theresa had asked Kiana before, Kiana did not give her a direct answer.

"Well..." Cecilia sighed helplessly. "Okay... But Theresa, you can't tell anyone about Siegfried and I's speculation, okay."

"After all, Theresa, you should have read a lot of novels and comics about time travel, right? Aren't many protagonists forced to leave after their identities as time travelers are known?"

"Hmm... hm?" Theresa nodded, and then a golden exclamation mark appeared on her head that would attract the yellow-haired fool. "Wait a minute... Cecilia, you mean... Kiana is actually... Qibao?"

"Well, this is what Siegfried and I guess." Cecilia nodded.

Cecilia and Siegfried had made such a guess more than ten years ago, but they didn't expect Theresa to still be struggling with this issue.

"This... eh? Hiss..." Theresa uttered several different syllables in succession. "But, Kiana and Qibao look different..."

If it was a few years ago, when Qibao had not yet obtained the name "Yulandel", she was quite similar to Kiana and looked like Kiana's young form.

But in recent years, Qibao's appearance has become closer to Cecilia, and there is a clear difference between her and Kiana.

I guess it has changed from the original 80% similarity to the current 60% similarity?

"This is something Siegfried and I are not very clear about, but... no matter how you think about it, Kiana is actually a Qibao who traveled through time. This speculation should be valid, right?"

"Um... maybe?" Theresa nodded slightly.

Although I always feel like something is not quite right, this should be closer to the truth.

"Oh... How can I become stronger..." Anna lay on a chair in the playground somewhat rudely.

She has developed the power of her stigmata to its limit, and her stigmata is really only this deep.

After all, compared to Cecilia, Anna's stigmata are obviously incomplete.

The stigmata of Shaniyat is composed of three petals and three leaves.

But Anna's stigmata lacked the outline of the petals, and only the veins of the petals were visible.

This means that Anna's stigmata are incomplete, but stigmata are destined from birth.

When a person without stigmata is exposed to excessive Honkai energy, the stigmata may awaken.

But as a member of the Shaniyat tribe, Anna's stigmata have been visible since she was born, which also means that her limits are predetermined.

"What are you worried about?" Just as Anna sighed, a voice sounded in her ears.

"Who!?" Anna jumped up suddenly.

But the strange thing was that there was no one around Anna.

"What are you worried about?" The same words rang out again, and Anna realized that the voice was ringing in her mind.

"Who are you? Why is the voice in my head?" Anna pressed her temple in disbelief.

'What are you worried about?'

"Oh my god..." Anna's pupils trembled suddenly when she realized something.

She felt in her pocket and pulled out the Valkyrie communicator.

But at this time, Anna's hands were shaking like a Parkinson's patient.

[Principal Cecilia]

Anna's communicator showed the person she was calling.

"Is that little Anna? What do you want to talk to me about at this time?" Cecilia's gentle voice came from the communicator.

"Aunt...I...seem like...I'm going to become a Herrscher!!!" Anna cried out in grief and anger while sobbing.

'ah? ’

B.52 Conscripted

Although Anna is not a very smart kid, she generally wouldn't joke about such things.

More importantly, the grief and anger in her voice just now were clear.

So, even though Cecilia didn't quite understand what was going on, she still asked Anna to go to her office as soon as possible.

...

......

"In other words, little Anna, you just heard a very strange voice asking you what is bothering you, right?" After listening to Anna's narration, Cecilia looked at Theresa hesitantly.

Apparently, Cecilia and Theresa had also heard about the omen of becoming a Herrscher.

Although the mental erosion encountered by each Herrscher is different, this sudden sound is most likely abnormal.

"Little Anna's mental state has always been very stable." Cecilia mused.

As a Valkyrie, mental stability is a very important thing.

If a Valkyrie's mind is unstable, she will be more susceptible to Honkai infection than other Valkyries.

Therefore, various departments of the Mandate of Heaven will regularly conduct comprehensive examinations on the Valkyries, including physical and mental examinations.

"Are you under too much pressure?" Cecilia took Anna's hand and patted it gently. "I know you have heard some bad rumors recently, but I have watched you grow up and I know what kind of child you are."

Because the Herrscher of Thunder was just born, according to the time calculation, the next Herrscher should not be born so soon.

So Cecilia was more inclined to believe that Anna was under too much mental stress recently and was experiencing auditory hallucinations.

"In fact, I was just discussing with Theresa that we will make you an official Valkyrie next year. After all, your aunt still sees your strength, and it's not a good idea to let you continue to be an intern."

"Eh? Really?! That's great!" Anna's pink eyes lit up, full of anticipation. "Huh? Wait... No! Aunt, I'm really fine..."

"I really heard that voice, and it kept asking me, 'What are you worried about?'"

“This…” After all, this was the child she had watched grow up. Anna said so firmly that she heard some bad noises, so Cecilia couldn’t really regard it as Anna’s hallucination.

To do otherwise would be irresponsible.

'knock knock'

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.

Cecilia and Theresa looked at each other.

Although Theresa was usually useless, she had been with Cecilia for such a long time, so she could still understand Cecilia's eyes.

Theresa nodded slightly and stood up.

Anna's situation is more urgent now. If the person outside the door doesn't have anything important to do, send him away first.

When Theresa opened the door and saw the person outside, she showed a happy expression.

"Kiana? You're back so soon?" Theresa said in surprise.

"Good afternoon, Theresa. After all, the distance between 'Saint Freya Island' and 'Changkong City' is not very far, so I teleported back directly." Kiana smiled and stretched out her hand to pinch Theresa's shoulder.

The main reason was that Kiana felt that teleporting directly to Cecilia's office was both very dangerous and very rude.

So Kiana usually teleports back home first and then reports here.

"Kiana, you're back just in time." Theresa, who was originally planning to send irrelevant people away, grabbed Kiana's wrist and pulled her in.

"Huh?" Kiana blinked in confusion and was dragged directly into the office by Theresa.

After entering the office, Kiana realized that there was one more person in the office than usual.

"Good afternoon, Sister Cecilia, and Anna..." Kiana reached out and poked Anna's face. "Did you do something wrong and get caught by Sister Cecilia?"

The thing that young people of this age hate doing the most is probably visiting relatives.

Although Anna had a close relationship with Qibao, she usually didn't go out of her way to see Cecilia.

"No, Lady Kiana." Because Kiana and Yulandel have the same name, Anna did not call her aunt like Qibao did, but used a more formal title.

But after so many years, I've gotten used to this name.

"Actually, Anna has run into some problems." Cecilia was relieved to see Kiana coming back. "Although you should have a good rest since you just came back, Anna's matter is more urgent."

"I'm fine." Kiana waved her hands. "I've had a good rest these days, so it's totally fine."

"So what happened?"

"Well, Anna, please describe the specific situation to Kiana." Cecilia said to Anna.

"Ok."

...

......

In fact, Anna’s description was also very brief. After all, the whole thing only took up a few sentences.
