Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

Especially after participating in various development teams, Kiana has become more stable.

Because many times, if she is not steady enough, she may destroy the hard work of a large group of people.

In recent years, it seems like there is a huge wheel behind Kiana, crushing her, while Kiana keeps running.

"【Hersher of the End】..." Silin certainly understood what was urging Kiana to keep running.

"Senior Xilin?" Looking at Xilin who suddenly became a little lost, Raiden Mei blinked in confusion.

"Um... Anyway, my relationship with her is a bit complicated... So I don't know what the relationship between her and me is."

"Well, this kind of relationship..." Raiden Mei tapped her chin. "If I have to say... it should be 'family'."

"what?"

B.84 So-called family

"Huh?" Xilin's eyes widened at Mei's words. "Family?"

This word is a very complex word for Xilin, and to a certain extent it can even be called a "sacred" word.

Whether it is human beings or other life forms, the more they lack something, the more they desire it.

'Family' was something Xilin had lost a long time ago. On that day more than ten years ago, she lost everything.

"Senior Xilin..." Looking at Xilin who looked incredulous, Mei Leidian tilted her head in confusion. "Senior Xilin, don't you think so yourself?"

"...I don't know." Xilin's pupils trembled slightly, and after a moment she shook her head and said, "Family...I don't really understand."

"?" Raiden Mei was even more confused.

Although Sirin is also a Herrscher, Raiden Mei is also a Herrscher herself...

Even though from the perspective of 'life', it is difficult for a Herrscher to be called a human being, the relationships that a Herrscher once had do not disappear just because he becomes a Herrscher.

What's more, Sirin and Raiden Mei are both [Hershers of Man], and they did not take the initiative to cause an irreparable disaster.

Therefore, Xilin should also have a family. Even if she lost them for some reason, she should still retain the concept of family.

"Senior Xilin, think about it yourself. There are people in this world who treat you well 'almost' selflessly and who stay together closely for more than ten years. Can such people be summarized in any other concept besides 'family'?" Raiden Mei counseled Xilin.

"Hmm..." Xilin pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

Indeed, according to Raiden Mei's description, the only person who fits this concept besides Kiana should be Bella...

Although Cecilia's family seems to fit this concept, their status in Xilin's heart is still slightly inferior to that of Kiana and Bella.

"Is this what you call family?" Xilin sighed slightly. "To be honest, I have never thought about this."

Maybe Sirin has always had the concept of family, but she forgot it... because she is different from Kiana and Raiden Mei, she is a Herrscher.

Kiana and Mei Raiden identify themselves more as "humans", while Sirin has long since completely abandoned her identity as a "human". She is a Herrscher, and no matter whether she chooses to enjoy everything that civilization brings or to destroy it, this is a choice she makes based on the concept that she is a "Herscher".

It is precisely because of this that Xilin instinctively ignores the identity of "family".

"So...Kiana and I have been a family for a long time?" Xilin lowered her eyes slightly.

"Of course." Raiden Mei nodded with a smile. "I think Kiana-sister will definitely give the same answer."

"Senior Sirin has simply forgotten the definition of 'family', but Sister Kiana must have long considered Senior Sirin the most important person."

"Is that so?" Xilin's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

This kind of confusion was like she was constantly looking for something that had been lost long ago, but one day someone suddenly told her that what she was looking for had actually been in her hands all along.

Such confusion made Xilin somewhat afraid to look directly at the concept of "family".

"My Lady Queen, Lady Mei."

"Your Highness Mei, Your Highness Xilin."

Two greetings were heard one after another.

The two people who were chatting realized that Bella and Kurikara had returned.

"Bella, come with me." Xilin suddenly stood up and walked to the second floor first.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bella nodded respectfully, then placed the ingredients in her hand on the table, nodded to Raiden Mei, and quickly followed in Xilin's footsteps.

"Your Highness Mei." After the petite girl took off all the armor and shrine maiden's feather robes, Kurikara changed into clothes that were more suitable for "humans".

According to Qiyana's description, it is a 'five-star card' with a daily skin replaced.

"What did you do with Miss Bella today?" Mei Raiden subconsciously reached out and rubbed Kurikara's head.

"I learned something." Kurikara was about to report to Raiden Mei with a serious expression. She had been with Bella today and learned a lot about the concept of 'how to serve the master'.

These include but are not limited to cooking, nutrition, combat...

As a companion Honkai beast, she will give everything for her master.

But Kuligara felt a little strange... because she found that Bella respected Sirin and Kiana equally.

This is different from Kurikara. Although Sirin and Kiana are both Herrschers, if Kurikara is given a general order, he will execute the order based on the concept that "they are important people to Princess Mei".

But Bella's orders to Kiana did not seem to be based on this concept.

However, Kuligala just felt it was strange, and she naturally would not ask about such things.

After all, she and Bella are both Honkai beasts. While they have the rationality and thinking ability given by their masters, they also have the underlying logic of "giving everything for their masters."

Therefore, Bella's "abnormality" must be based on her underlying logic as a Honkai beast, and the so-called "underlying logic" is as natural as "life will die", it is a "rule".

"Hmm..." Listening to Kurikara's 'report', Raiden Mei inexplicably had a sense of 'baby, what did you learn in school today?', and then the child began to report what he learned today.

...

......

"You're here." Xilin was in the room with her back to the door. She waited until Bella came in and closed the door habitually before she spoke to Bella.

"My Queen, please stop imitating Lady Kiana in these strange ways." Bella thought to herself as she looked at Sirin's back.

Although in Bella's opinion, Sirin and Kiana are the same, she also understands the concept that Sirin and Kiana are two different personalities, so she will not completely confuse Sirin and Kiana.

"Yes, I'm here." Bella responded seriously.

"You shouldn't have come."

"But I'm still here."

"...Why do I feel so stupid?" Xilin did not continue, but pinched her chin and said thoughtfully.

"Is it possible that this kind of conversation is really stupid?" Bella still had no expression on her face, but she had a lot to say in her heart.

B.85 So-called Lover

"Your Majesty, what is the matter that has brought me here at this time?" The epilepsy has ended, and now it's time to get down to business.

If she continued fooling around with the Queen... Bella wouldn't mind, but she might not be in time for dinner.

"Hmm..." When asked by Bella, Xilin once again started to act arrogantly as usual.

There are some things that Xilin really can't say.

But she really wanted to tell Bella, after all...she was embarrassed to talk about this with Kiana.

Bella is his dependent and completely loyal to him, so there is no problem in talking to her.

"Your Majesty the Queen." Bella pulled a chair over, held Xilin's shoulders and let her sit down, then knelt on one knee beside Xilin. "Your Majesty the Queen, you can tell me anything you want to say."

"Bella..." Looking at Bella who was so close to her, Xilin pursed her lips and nodded. "I know Bella, but there are some things I am embarrassed to say..."

Of course, Xilin completely believed Bella, but she was still embarrassed to say it out loud.

"Is it about Lady Kiana?" Bella knew the character of her queen very well, so she changed her approach and guided Xilin to say what she wanted to say.

"Yeah." Xilin nodded. "I just talked to my juniors about how Kiana and I met."

"I see..." Bella thought for a moment. "The Queen and Mei talked about... the relationship between the Queen and Kiana, right?"

"Huh?" Xilin's eyes widened. "Bella, how did you know?"

"Because Her Majesty the Queen only becomes particularly shy when it comes to these things." Bella said with a smile.

Bella seldom smiles. She usually keeps an icy face, giving people a very serious and casual feeling.

"Bella..." Bella teased her, and Xilin raised her hand and gently hit Bella's shoulder. "Yeah..."

In fact, Xilin is not stupid, she is just lazy. She is too lazy to think about many things. After all, Bella and Kiana will help her solve most of the problems.

And when she was chatting with Mei Raiden just now, she finally understood the definition of "family".

So she also realized that if Bella was just a Honkai beast, then she would not have any feeling of "being embarrassed to tell Bella" at all.

It is precisely because Bella has a human form and rationality, and because Celine no longer regards Bella as her "property" but as her "family", that Celine is too embarrassed to say some things to Bella.

"So, Your Majesty..." Bella planned to continue guiding Xilin to speak out her problem.

"No, it's okay." Xilin shook her head at Bella. "I've thought it through."

"Bella, you are important too." Xilin grabbed Bella's hand. "Although...although you may still think of yourself as a 'servant' of me and Kiana, Bella, I hope you can understand."

"I gave you reason and wisdom not because I needed a 'servant' who could better execute orders, but because... I wanted more 'family'."

"?" Bella looked at Xilin and blinked in confusion.

Yes, Bella was not moved by Xilin's words at first.

The first thought that popped into Bella's mind was 'Who has taken over the Queen's body?!'

Because such words simply don't sound like something Xilin would say. How could someone as proud and shy as Xilin say such words?

However, Bella just has a different self-perception, which doesn't mean she is stupid.

If she said something like this to Xilin at this moment, she would be thrown out by Xilin in the next second.

"My Queen..." After a few disrespectful thoughts went through her mind, Bella carefully thought about what Celine had just said. "So...My Queen, you actually consider Lady Kiana as a 'family member', right?"

"Maybe..." Xilin said in confusion. "But...if we are already family..."

"We are already 'family', but this does not conflict with liking or loving each other." Bella quickly held Xilin's hand.

"Really?" Xilin tilted her head. "But I saw some sayings that... 'love is a process of finding family affection'."

Although Xilin is not particularly interested in these, she will always see some strange things after surfing the Internet for a long time.

In addition, although Xilin is already 30 years old, the body has a great influence on the psychology, so Xilin’s social circle on the Internet is still very young.

Many of her friends on her friend list have painful signatures like "I'm sorry for being born as a human being" and "The bustling street corner cannot accommodate my loneliness".

"Oh no, Queen, please stop looking at these messy things all day long!" Bella roared like a dragon in her heart. "No, no, if this goes on, the Queen will definitely be content with the status quo..."

Although her own Queen was indeed a terrible person, as her family member, she could not let her Queen continue like this.

Besides, Lady Kiana is very popular. Not to mention the guy who is also called "Kiana", Mei Raiden who just came to live in the house is a strong rival.

Her Majesty the Queen is already in a mess, so you can’t just vote for her.

"Bella, you can do it..." The [Pseudo-Herrscher Core] in her body was running frantically.

At this moment, Bella's thinking ability was working to its fullest extent.

"Your Majesty...you may be confused about the relationship between 'love' and 'family', and feel that you and Lady Kiana have long surpassed the relationship of 'lovers' and have become 'family', right?" Bella stared into Sirin's eyes.

"Uh..." Although she didn't know why, Xilin always felt that Bella's eyes were very intimidating. She was obviously Bella's queen, but at this moment her momentum was suppressed by Bella. "Yes... yes... right?"

Xilin has never thought about this, but since Bella said so...then...is that right?

"Then please give your fantasy a try, Your Majesty." Bella put into practice the method she had just thought of.

This method is 'stimulation'.

"If Lady Kiana and... Lady Mei." Bella thought about it and decided to use Raiden Mei as an example. "If Lady Kiana and Lady Mei sleep together tonight, how would you feel, Queen?"

"..." Bella's description didn't make Xilin feel anything.

But from Bella's perspective, she could clearly see that Xilin's brows were slightly furrowed.
