At the same time, isn't Cecilia's naive personality a result of her lack of contact with the outside world?
Unbeknownst to them, Qiu Bi had taken control of the conversation. The "Discipline" was activated silently. Although it did not affect Cecilia's thinking, it stirred up her deepest thoughts.
Cecilia remained silent for a long time, then asked in a barely audible voice, "Then what should I do?"
"Why not relinquish the identities of 'Strongest S-Rank Valkyrie of Destiny' and 'Saintess of the Shaniat Family,' and start a new life as an 'ordinary person'?"
"But... the Honkai War is not over yet."
“Then let’s decide it this way—Cecilia, you will abandon your former identity and start a new life as an ordinary person, while I will let Sirin and the others end this war.”
Cecilia bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement with Qiu Bi's suggestion.
Under the influence of the "precepts," her inner thoughts were amplified countless times, successfully influencing and dominating her decisions.
“Then, please take care of me from now on, Cecilia Shaniat.”
Qiu Bi smiled brightly and then extended his right hand.
Cecilia made a soft "hmm" sound and reached out to grasp Qiu Bi's right hand.
At that very moment, Qiu Bi used the "precepts" without hesitation.
The first precept is to deeply love Qiu Bi.
Perhaps it was the influence of the "commandments," or perhaps it was the abandonment of her former identity, but Cecilia felt completely relaxed, as if she had been freed from some invisible shackles.
Then, she stretched lazily and comfortably, and the Black Abyss White Flower, which was as tall as a person, felt as light as a feather in her hand. She casually raised it above her head and then put it down again.
Looking at Cecilia's languid and contented demeanor, Qiu Bi suddenly recalled Aurora's request to Cecilia and, as if possessed, blurted out, "Cecilia, please become the children's mother!"
"Is this a proposal?" Cecilia asked with a charming smile, then continued, "Of course, but... I may need to observe you for a while before making a final decision."
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Sirin Reveals Her True Colors!
Looking at Cecilia's charming and beautiful appearance, Qiu Bi was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "You can observe as you please, I won't let you down!"
"Then I'll have to observe you carefully... to see what kind of person you are."
Cecilia's voice gradually faded, and by the time she finished speaking, her tone was so low that only she, and Sirin and Shigure Kira who were eavesdropping on their conversation, could hear her.
That being said, ever since Qiu Bi imposed the commandment on Cecilia to "deeply love Qiu Bi," Qiu Bi has always been seen through a "love" filter.
In short, it's a very typical "self-strategy".
Upon hearing Cecilia's words, Shigure Kira immediately broke into a joyful smile.
Shigure Kira deeply admires the beautiful, powerful, and gentle Cecilia. When she hears that Cecilia is about to have a political marriage with Siegfried, she even has thoughts of assassinating Siegfried or spreading negative rumors about him.
If she weren't outmatched by Siegfried, she would have long ago forcibly broken up their political marriage.
Now that Cecilia has chosen Qiu Bi, Shigure Kira naturally gives her full support.
No one else!
Qiu Bi, go for it!
This is what Shigure Kira is thinking now.
The main reason is that Qiu Bi fulfilled her idol dream, and she herself almost became sworn brothers with Qiu Bi, so of course she would try her best to help the two of them.
"Sister Qiluo, what does Aunt Cecilia mean by that? Xilin doesn't quite understand."
Xilin said she didn't understand, but her legs were swaying slightly, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
Shiyu Qiluo tentatively reached out and pressed down on Xilin's head. Seeing that Xilin did not resist, she then stroked Xilin's hair with peace of mind.
"Cirin, from now on you can call Lady Cecilia 'Mom'."
"Huh? Is Sirin about to have her first..."
Celine immediately stopped talking, then counted on her fingers the people she needed to call "Mom".
"Mom, Bronya's mom, and Cecilia's mom..."
Celine looked at her hand, which had three fingers outstretched, and said with certainty, "Celine is going to have a third mother!"
Although Celine couldn't remember her mother's name, she remembered her sisters' names in detail.
In Celine's mind, her father would protect her mother and the family, but her younger sister could only be protected by her as the older sister.
Therefore, Xilin is particularly concerned about her "sister".
Bella, Aurora, Agatha, and Galina are all around 13 years old. Considering their similar ages, Sirin felt embarrassed to have the four girls call her "older sister".
However, this problem will be completely resolved in the future—Bronya Zaychek will be her first true sister.
As for whether there will be a new younger sister in the future...
Regarding this matter, it all depends on whether Qiu Bi, Sirin's mother, Alexandra, and Cecilia can help and give Sirin more younger sisters.
"Three...three mothers?"
Shigure Kira was a little taken aback, but didn't say anything more.
Since Qiu Bi is the only person she has designated as Cecilia's partner, it doesn't matter how complicated Qiu Bi's romantic relationships are.
Who helped Qiu Bi fulfill her "idol dream"?
Thinking of this, Shigure Kira suddenly had a bold idea.
"Cirin, do you want to become an 'idol'?"
"An idol? Is that a magical girl?"
"of course not."
"Never mind then, Sirin is a magical girl now!"
Do magical girls really exist?
Shiyu Kira looked at Sirin with a puzzled expression. "Sirin, magical girls and all that... are actually just fairy tales told to children."
"Kira-neechan is a bad girl! Magical girls really exist!"
Xilin shouted angrily, then floated up and looked down at Shiyu Kira.
After intercepting that barrage of missiles, Sirin reverted to her everyday clothes and stopped maintaining her magical girl form.
Therefore, Shigure Kira was unaware of Sirin's other, unknown identity—the magical girl Sirin-chan.
"Sirin, magical girls and all that... it's really just..."
gradually.
Shiyu Kira was speechless.
As a dreamlike light appeared, a pure white magical dress appeared on Sirin's body, replacing her previous home clothes.
Sirin reached out and grasped, and the Bow of Light began to emerge from the handle, gradually coalescing to both sides, eventually forming a bow and arrow resembling tree branches.
Upon seeing this, Shigure Kira was instantly stunned, staring blankly at Sirin, who had transformed into a magical girl.
"No, no way... Magical girls really exist?!"
Shiyu Qiluo exclaimed in surprise, then quickly stood up and paced back and forth around Xilin with curiosity and excitement.
The commotion caused by Sirin's transformation attracted everyone's attention, and coupled with Shigure Kira's exclamation, everyone immediately turned to look at Shigure Kira and Sirin.
"Sister Qiluo, Xilin wanted to get along with you as a good girl, but instead you questioned me, so Xilin is coming clean!"
Sirin raised her head arrogantly and continued smugly, "Sirin is the magical girl Sirin-chan! The first magical girl in history, and the source of all magical girls—the original magical girl! Hmph!"
"The original magical girl... Hmph?"
Shiyu Qiluo hesitated before repeating Xilin's words, which made Xilin stomp her foot in annoyance.
"Sister Kira, it's not 'magical girl,' it's 'magical girl Sirin-chan'!" Sirin explained earnestly and slowly. "A magical girl is a magical girl, and 'Sirin-chan' is Sirin's magical girl name!"
"Sirin, I understand the logic, but why are you a magical girl?"
"Sirin is a magical girl, isn't that a simple truth? Kira-neechan is both mean and stupid, hmph!"
Xilin turned her head away haughtily, looking disdainful of explaining, but her eyes were secretly glancing at Shigure Kira, as if waiting for Shigure Kira to ask her questions.
However, Salome and Shub walked up to the two of them, with the former taking the initiative to explain and directly expose Sirin's "little trick".
"Sirin, Bella, Aurora, Agatha, and Galina can all transform into magical girls, and their magical girl form is their strongest state."
"Don't be fooled by Sirin's 'angry' appearance now; she just wants to show off her magical girl form."
Upon hearing this, Sirin immediately lost her composure and complained, "Sister Salome, don't expose Sirin!"
Salome chuckled, then reached out and pressed down on Shub, who was trying to touch the magic dress, and scolded her in a low voice, "Silly dog, don't touch Sirin like that."
"Sure! Sirin doesn't mind her older sisters touching her, and... Sirin can even turn her older sisters into magical girls!"
Chapter Forty: The Power of the Saintess
Seemingly imagining themselves as magical girls, Salome and Shub both took a step back, while only Shigure Kira hesitated, quite tempted.
Magical girl and idol combined...
This feeling seems pretty good?
Shigure Kira pondered in her heart, speculating on the feasibility of the identity or persona of "magical girl idol".
Then, before Shiyu Qiluo could figure out a solution, the smug Xilin was punished.
A large hand pressed down on Xilin's head, forcing her head back down, and then Xilin heard Qiu Bi's questioning voice in her ear.
"Cirin, why did you suddenly transform?"
"Dad, Sister Qiluo is trying to deceive Xilin!"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Bi looked at Shigure Kira with a puzzled expression, while Cecilia's gaze also became strange, as if she were meeting Shigure Kira for the first time.
Meeting the strange gazes of the two, Shigure Kira panicked and hurriedly explained, "I didn't deceive Sirin, I was just questioning the authenticity of magical girls..."
"I see."
Qiu Bi suddenly realized what was going on, and then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
If he hadn't personally bestowed upon Sirin her magical girl powers, he wouldn't have believed she was a magical girl.
