Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

She crossed her hands in front of her chest, holding a long sword in her arms that was at least 50cm taller than her.

The combination of the concepts of a shrine maiden and a samurai may seem a bit weird, but if you look at it from Kiana's perspective after several years...

"It looks like it's at least an SSR." Kiana nodded secretly in her heart.

Kiana has seen all kinds of weird outfits. As an experienced and experienced old 2D girl, Kiana doesn't think there's anything strange about this outfit.

"Good day, Princess Mei." Kurikara bowed respectfully to Raiden Mei.

"Kurigara?" Raiden Mei looked at the girl in front of her in surprise. "She is totally different from what I expected."

Originally, Mei Raiden thought that Kurikara was so majestic as a dragon, and if he turned into a human form, he should be a heroic warrior.

Although the girl in front of him did combine elements of a samurai, her overall elements were more like a shrine maiden.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. My appearance doesn't match the image in your mind. I'm terrified."

He said he was terrified, but there was almost no expression on his face.

"Good! This expressionless look is exactly the same as Bella's! Do all of you Honkai beasts have no expression?" Kiana complained in her mind.

"Well, it's not a problem." Raiden Mei waved her hand quickly. "Isn't Kurikara being too respectful? What should I do? Is this normal?"

Although Mei Raiden is a young lady, her bodyguards, butlers, maids... are not respectful to her to this extent!

"Don't worry, junior, this is a very normal situation." Although Mei Raiden didn't say it out loud, Xilin seemed to see through Mei Raiden's thoughts. "Bella was like this at the beginning, so she still needs to be properly educated."

"I see. Now that senior said so, I feel relieved." If Kurikara always behaves in this respectful manner, then Raiden Mei will really have to consider how to correct her personality.

"But this way, there will be one more person in the house... and there may not be enough room." Kiana suddenly thought of the situation where there was not enough room.

There are only four bedrooms on the second floor. If one more person is added, Kurikara will probably have to live in the attic on the third floor.

"Lady Kiana, you can let her share a room with me." At this moment, Bella, who had already tidied up Mei's room, came down. "The Queen just said that she still needs to be educated, so let me, who is also a Honkai beast, take care of this matter."

"Yeah, how about handing her over to Bella?" After hearing Bella's suggestion, Xilin's eyes lit up and she asked Raiden Mei.

"Sirin, where do you get your confidence from?" Kiana looked at Sirin.

"But won't this be too much trouble for Miss Bella?" Raiden Mei asked a little embarrassedly.

"Mei, don't you think Bella's attitude is too respectful?" Kiana looked at Raiden Mei.

"No, it's Bella's honor to share everyone's worries." Bella shook her head slightly and said with a cold expression.

"After so many years, how are you any better than Kuligara, Bella?!"

B.57 Morning at Qi's House

Although it was just an ordinary birthday party, because of the participation of Raiden Mei, this birthday party was also a welcome party.

But because it was held in a hurry, not many people were invited this time. Almost only a few people who were currently in "St. Freya Academy" attended the party.

--night--

"Is your trouble caused by wanting power?" Anna, who was gradually falling asleep, suddenly heard this voice.

Compared to noon, the sound became much clearer.

Not only that, even the content of the other party's words has changed.

"Why did it start again?" Anna opened her eyes suddenly and looked at the ceiling of the dormitory.

Although this voice had been "bewitching" her, it was somewhat different from Kiana's description.

Because the other party is really just repeating some words.

It is not like the "collapse" described by Kiana, which has the ability to arouse people's emotions and make people make choices involuntarily.

"How about...talking to him?" Anna quietly thought of this.

But Anna immediately suppressed this thought.

"No! Phew... I almost got bewitched." Anna tapped her forehead. "Is this the bewitching power of Honkai? It's really scary..."

I didn't expect the other party to be like this, which quietly aroused my curiosity.

"Fortunately, Anna is smart enough." Although Anna is not a very smart child, she is not stupid either. At least she is reassuring when it comes to anti-fraud.

Anna grabbed the pillow beside her and placed it directly on her forehead.

This slight pressure made Anna feel very relieved.

Gradually, Anna fell into a state of sleep.

As Anna fell asleep, the relatively strong but not dissipated Honkai energy began a new cycle in her body.

But neither Anna herself nor her roommate noticed any changes in Anna.

----

"Oh~ Good morning, Bella and Kurikara." Although Kiana was a little tired because of the banquet yesterday, she still had some things to do today, so she got up early.

"Good morning, Lady Kiana."

"Good day, Her Majesty Kiana."

"Ah, I knew it would be useless to ask Bella to teach me," Kiana thought to herself.

"Let me tell you, what are we having for breakfast this morning?" Kiana came to the dining table.

Muffins, fish fillet, fried eggs, bacon, far eastern tofu, kelp shreds...

"Huh? Is today's breakfast a Far Eastern style?" Kiana thought as she looked at the various plates on the table.

"Because Mei just arrived, Kurikara and I were worried that Mei might not be used to it." Bella explained after looking at Kiana's expression. "So we made a Far Eastern breakfast today."

"Oh~ Bella and Kurikara are so thoughtful." Kiana praised.

"Lady Kiana, what plans do you have for today?" Bella came to Kiana and asked softly.

"Because something happened with Anna, I am planning to go to Shenzhou now." Kiana picked up a piece of fish fillet and put it into her mouth and talked about her plans for today.

She wanted to borrow [Yu Duchen], after all, Anna's situation should not be underestimated.

Unlike Mei Raiden, who has already been confirmed as a Herrscher and is suffering from mental erosion, Anna's situation requires "prevention".

Therefore, Kiana needs to use [Yu Duchen] to set up a "line of defense" for Anna.

This way, whether Anna will become a Herrscher or not, she will have time to react.

"I see. Then, will Lady Kiana be able to come back in time for noon?" As the family's cook, Bella naturally had to consider this.

Providing fresh food to the Lord has been Bella's 'duty' over the years.

In order to better fulfill her duties, Bella has been studying various cooking books over the years.

If it weren't for the exam requirements, Bella would have already obtained various advanced technician certificates related to cooking and nutritionism.

"This learning ability is much better than Xilin's." Kiana has already sighed in her heart for the umpteenth time about Bella's learning ability.

As for Xilin?

It's just a purple-haired pufferfish!

"Puff..." Thinking of the name of purple-haired pufferfish, Kiana could remember Sirin's angry look.

She is a little bit tsundere, but she is also really cute.

They have been together for at least ten years, and Kiana doesn't find anything wrong with Xilin.

Just when Kiana was about to finish the breakfast in front of her, Xilin came down from upstairs rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"Xilinlin." Seeing Xilin coming down the stairs, Kiana called her.

"Hmm?" Xilin squinted her eyes and made a confused sound. She stopped with a shaky body and waited for Kiana's subsequent remarks.

"It's okay. I just called you." Kiana waved her hand.

"Oh..." Xilin responded and passed by Kiana, almost 'floating' to the sofa, and lay down on it as her body softened.

"I never get tired of seeing this confused expression, it's really cute." Kiana laughed in her heart. "But then again, since you're so sleepy, why don't you just sleep a little longer?"

Kiana has always been a little confused about this.

"Because if Her Majesty the Queen sleeps a little longer, Her Majesty Kiana will leave." Bella suddenly said. "So Her Majesty the Queen will get up first even if she is very sleepy."

"...Bella, have you read any strange books?" Kiana asked with a strange expression.

Bella's words made it sound as if she was a person who was away from home every day, so even if Xilin was very sleepy, she had to insist on getting up to see her, otherwise she wouldn't be able to see her for the rest of the day.

"..." Bella kept silent.

"?" Kiana held the chopsticks in her mouth, her expression becoming even more subtle.

And at this moment, the door suddenly opened.

Mei Raiden walked in, wearing a white kendo uniform soaked with sweat.

"Sister Kiana, are you up?" Seeing Kiana, Raiden Mei greeted her with some surprise.

"Wow, Mei, you got up so early?" It can be seen from the look that Raiden Mei went for morning exercise.

Mei Raiden practices swordplay every day, regardless of the season.

"This is the time set by father. If we don't get up so early, we will miss breakfast and school." Raiden Mei said while wiping her wet hair.

"Oh~ You really work hard." Kiana pointed at the breakfast on the table. "Then Mei, go wash up and eat."

"Okay." Raiden Mei nodded, and glanced at Xilin, who was lying on the sofa. "Would Xilin senior get up so early and lie on the sofa at home?"

"What a strange hobby..."

B.58 Anna's situation

"It's magical..." Mei Raiden stood under the shower with her eyes closed, feeling the warm water washing over her body.

The water quickly washed away the sweat she produced from sword practice.

'Although the Herrscher's body is extremely strong, as long as you calm down and practice, you will still feel tired even if you just swing the sword normally. 'In fact, the intensity of Raiden Mei's kendo exercises today is not much different from the past.

But even though her physical strength has surpassed her former self by hundreds of times, Mei Raiden still feels tired.

"Is this what father meant by 'refining the mind'?"

Raiden Ryoma once told Raiden Mei that kendo is not just about martial arts, but more importantly, the state of mind.

Although Mei Raiden didn't quite understand what Ryoma Raiden meant, she still practiced it anyway.

It was not until she became a Herrscher that she truly felt what the state of mind was.

"Also, there are a lot of sword skills constantly emerging in my mind. Is this also a byproduct of becoming a Herrscher?" Raiden Mei was a little puzzled.

As for the use of power and the mastery of sword skills, according to Kiana and Sirin's description, these should not be something that can be possessed after becoming a Herrscher.

Because these are all "techniques", and becoming a Herrscher only grants one power.

Just like Xilin before, her use of power was completely driven by instinct.

But Mei Raiden gained more 'experience'.

"I don't understand what's going on, but... it shouldn't matter." Raiden Mei thought silently.

In Mei Raiden's opinion, this is not a big deal. As long as she finds something wrong, she can just tell Kiana directly.

...

......

"Hmm? Where's Sister Kiana?" After taking a good shower, Mei Raiden came out with a little moisture and wearing simple pajamas.

After becoming a Herrscher, although one can still feel the cold and heat, ordinary weather can no longer have an effect on the Herrscher's body.

"Qiana? She went out after receiving a call." Xilin curled her lips. "Don't worry about her. She's like this every other day."
