After saying goodbye to Mebius, Sirin casually opened a portal and teleported herself back to her bedroom. At this time, she had no idea that she had become a famous celebrity in the Firemoth.

Chapter 54: Acquiring Another Armed Doll?

Back home, Xilin was happy to have some free time. Thinking about it carefully, she realized she had never even gone to school. Some of the knowledge she had was taught to her by her older sister while she was studying. Fortunately, she was quite talented and had some knowledge; she wasn't an illiterate person who knew nothing.

However, now that she has become a Herrscher, she doesn't know how much the abilities of the Herrscher chosen by the Honkai Will will improve. In order to make better use of her abilities, Sirin feels that it would be better to study hard.

But going to school is impossible, I'll never go to school in my life. Home is so much fun, and my sister is such a beauty. I love staying at home.

As she pondered this, Xilin summoned the system interface, preparing to have the system distribute the rewards. With a series of actions from Xilin, three large boxes appeared before her eyes accompanied by two golden lights and one white light.

The gold chests were on the left and right, while the slightly smaller silver chest was sandwiched in the middle, which somehow reminded Sirin of a weak girl surrounded by two strong men.

Shaking his head to clear his mind, he began to agonize over which treasure chest to open first.

After thinking for a moment, Sirin decided to open the silver treasure chest in the middle first.

This so-called silver treasure chest is only about two-thirds the size of the gold treasure chest, which is rather small compared to the gold treasure chests on either side. However, its design is still incredibly gorgeous and luxurious, and the jewels on it are flawless. Even if it were put up for auction, it would probably fetch an astronomical price.

Taking a deep breath, Sirin slowly opened the silver treasure chest in front of her. A bright white light flashed, and a system notification sounded in Sirin's ear.

Congratulations on obtaining one [Winning Lingerie]! The effect of this item is: when the wearer wears this lingerie, their charm is increased.

Ok? ? ?

Inside the silver treasure chest lay a set of barely-there underwear, even in a catgirl style. Looking at this thing in front of her, Sirin's little head was filled with question marks, her face completely bewildered.

So she closed the lid of the silver treasure chest, murmured three times, and then opened it again. The underwear was still lying inside the silver treasure chest, so it seemed that this was not her hallucination.

She reached out and picked up the set of lingerie, glanced at it a few times, and immediately blushed. Wasn't this the kind of lingerie?

As expected, it's another classic piece of junk. She shouldn't have expected to get anything good from the silver treasure chest. The previous bracelet was somewhat useful, but this one is completely useless. It has a single effect and a very embarrassing design. It would be terrible if someone saw this.

Thinking this, Celine quickly folded the set of lingerie and put it in the deepest part of her wardrobe, out of sight, out of mind. However, throwing it away was out of the question. Although it was a useless item, Celine already considered it her property, so naturally, she wouldn't discard it.

And just because it's useless now doesn't mean it won't be useful in the future...

With a long sigh, Sirin closed the wardrobe door and returned to the treasure chests to open them. The silver chest had disappeared, and now only two unopened gold chests remained in front of Sirin.

The silver treasure chest she just opened was junk, so Sirin was quite worried that she might also get useless items next time. She really wanted to get an armed doll, and she didn't want to get some classic and fashionable junk.

After giving herself a pep talk, Sirin nervously opened the golden treasure chest on her left.

Congratulations on obtaining a [Mysterious Leg Ring]! This item's effects include: increased personal charm, improved evasion ability, maintaining perfect leg shape, and significantly increased lifespan.

[Detected to be wearing the [Mysterious Bracelet] Mysterious Series Set, second piece obtained. Effects: Mysterious Aura (Active Skill), Increased Luck, makes it easier for others to believe what you say.]

[Note: The set's effectiveness is greatly reduced against enemies stronger than oneself. The set's appearance will change depending on the style of the stockings and clothing worn by the user.]

Hearing the system notification, Xilin blinked. Although the effect of the individual item was not very good, she did not expect that it was a set. The effect of the individual item plus the set effect was not very good, but it was still acceptable.

Furthermore, there's a luck boost, which is what Sirin values ​​most. Luck is an elusive thing; a little more or less can have a significant impact. And with the luck boost, wouldn't the probability of her getting classic fashion junk from opening treasure chests and drawing prizes be much lower?

Thinking this, Xilin immediately put the leg ring on her leg. She thought the leg ring would be very big, but to her surprise, it shrank automatically when she put it on, which was quite magical.

Moreover, since she was wearing white stockings with a pink skirt, the style of the leg ring had changed from its original plain appearance to a pink and white lace leg ring. The lace was pink, while the middle stripe was white. Xilin nodded in satisfaction; the colors matched quite well.

After slipping the leg ring onto her thigh, Sirin focused her gaze on the golden treasure chest on her right. This was the last one left, and success or failure hinged on this moment!

After thinking for a while, Xilin summoned the system interface, opened the portal to the Doll House, and prepared to call Little Xilin over to help her. She placed an armed doll beside her and, with the buff of increased luck, she refused to believe that she couldn't draw an armed doll.

As the passageway to the Dollhouse opened, Sirin immediately spotted little Sirin engrossed in reading a book. Intrigued, Sirin looked closer and saw that the book Sirin was reading had several large words on its cover—"Why You Shouldn't Try to Build a Harem."

The author of this book is Makoto Itō, also known as [Heaven].

Before Xilin could even see the book's synopsis, little Xilin sensed Xilin's gaze, put the book down, and rushed towards Xilin with a joyful expression.

After catching little Xilin who was rushing towards her steadily, Xilin's lips curled up slightly. What an impatient child.

After calming down the very agitated little Xilin for a while, Xilin smiled and said to her, "Little Xilin, Mommy needs you to do something for me. Can you help me open that box over there?"

Seeing the gentle smile on Celine's face, little Celine nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course."

"Little Sirin is so good~" Sirin rubbed little Sirin's fluffy head, took her hand and led her to the last golden treasure chest. She took a deep breath and placed her hand on the lid, and little Sirin followed suit.

"I'll count to three, then we'll push together."

"Ah."

"Three...two...one!"

'banging'

As the golden treasure chest was opened, the blinding white light caused both Sirin and the little Sirin beside her to close their eyes. At this moment, Sirin waited for the system's notification sound, her heart pounding like a drum.

At that moment, the system notification sounded in Xilin's ears, and a surge of joy welled up from the bottom of her heart.

Congratulations on obtaining... [Armed Doll Bella]!

Chapter 55 Little Sirin has a friend!

[Congratulations on obtaining [Armed Doll Bella]'s abilities: Basic electromagnetic manipulation, possessing some Herrscher of Thunder powers. Using this doll in battle will increase the damage power of the Herrscher of Thunder powers. Using this doll in battle will also add a chance to paralyze the opponent's attacks. When this doll fights alongside the Armed Doll Sirin, it will grant your dolls a damage buff.]

[Note: The probability of paralysis is 10%, and the duration of the paralysis effect depends on the opponent's strength.]

When the slightly electronic notification sound from the system rang in Celine's ears, waves of excitement surged through her, and the joy on Celine's face was palpable.

Even though the system's voice was harsh, cold, and unpleasant to hear, it sounded like heavenly music to Xilin's ears at that moment, and the joy in Xilin's heart was beyond words.

If one had to describe it, it would be the joy of pulling the character you want in a single draw in a gacha game. No, perhaps even that wouldn't be enough to express the excitement Sirin felt.

"Mommy... what is this...?" Little Sirin looked at Sirin with her big, watery eyes, completely bewildered. Her delicate little finger pointed to the armed doll Bella lying in the dazzling and luxurious golden treasure chest.

"That's the person who will be with you when Mommy isn't around anymore~ Her name is Bella." Celine smiled sweetly as she answered little Celine's question.

"The one who's with me? Bella... Bella... This name feels so familiar..." Little Sirin murmured Bella's name softly, looking at the figure lying in the golden treasure chest. For no reason, a feeling of warmth rose in Little Sirin's heart. Although she didn't know why, Little Sirin knew she liked Bella very much and wanted to be her friend.

But... why is there still a hint of sadness beneath this familiar feeling...?

Little Sirin shook her head slightly. At that moment, Bella, the armed doll inside the golden treasure chest, also awoke. She slowly sat up, looked around, and her eyes were filled with confusion. When she saw Little Sirin and Sirin, she suddenly froze on the spot, staring at them blankly.

This situation continued until Xiao Xilin approached her somewhat nervously.

"Um...you're called Bella, right? Can we...be friends?" Little Xilin pursed her lips, her two little hands clasped together, enough to prove how nervous she was.

The armed doll Bella stared at the anxious little Sirin for a long time, feeling a sense of confusion. Although it was their first meeting, she felt a natural affinity for Sirin, a desire to be close to her and protect her. Especially now, seeing her so anxious…

The thought took root in the mind of the armed doll Bella as soon as it appeared. Looking at the uneasy little Sirin in front of her, she reached out her hands, hugged her, and whispered in her ear, "Of course."

Suddenly, little Sirin's eyes lit up, as if she was overjoyed. She exclaimed happily, "Great! Sirin has a friend!" After speaking, little Sirin hugged the armed doll Bella tightly. The blush of excitement on her delicate face had not yet completely faded, making her look incredibly cute.

Seeing the two so intimately acquainted on their first meeting, Xilin nodded in satisfaction. Although she had been reluctant to agree to be Xilin's mother at first, she now quite liked the feeling.

However, Celine was curious about what the newly created armed doll would call her. Would it also call her "Mom"? If so, that would be quite something. But soon, Celine breathed a sigh of relief because the armed doll Bella didn't call her "Mom," but rather used a new name.

Bella, the armed doll who had released little Sirin, quickly retrieved herself from the golden treasure chest and came to Sirin's side. She first gave her an elegant ladylike bow, and then said, "Master."

Sirin felt slightly uncomfortable with this title. Although it was quite novel to be called that, she didn't know why she felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't want to regard the armed doll Bella as a lowly servant.

After thinking for a while, Sirin said to the armed doll Bella, "The title 'Master' doesn't sound very nice. Let's change it to... 'Sister,' what do you think?" Sirin blinked; to be honest, she really wanted to be the older sister for once.

However, when Bella heard Celine's suggestion, she shook her head and refused: "I don't think it's a good idea. It goes against my lower command. If you don't like the title 'Master,' I might call you 'Your Majesty.'"

"Your Majesty?" Upon hearing Bella's suggestion, Sirin frowned slightly. Just imagining being called "Your Majesty" in public made her feel incredibly embarrassed. It would be absolutely mortifying! Although being called "Queen" was quite enjoyable, if the price was death, then she'd rather not.

So, Sirin shook her head, banishing the image in her mind, and politely declined the armed doll Bella's suggestion.

Seeing that her suggestion was rejected, the armed doll Bella came up with all sorts of titles. Like Your Majesty, Supreme Being, Ruler... In short, each title was more exaggerated and childish than the last, as if she wanted everyone to know how powerful Sirin was.

Hearing these strange titles, Sirin's lips twitched, revealing a somewhat awkward smile. Finally, she coughed lightly, interrupting the armed doll Bella: "Ahem, I think you should just call me Lady Sirin. The titles you mentioned are a bit... how should I put it... a bit inappropriate to use in front of outsiders."

Upon hearing this, the armed doll Bella nodded thoughtfully. Lady Sirin? Although she would prefer to call her Queen Sirin, it was alright. Thinking this, the armed doll Bella bowed to Sirin again and said, "Lady Sirin."

However, Bella called out the title reluctantly; for some reason, she still felt that "Your Majesty" was a better title.

Sirin nodded slightly in acknowledgment, but when she saw the somewhat dejected expression on the armed doll Bella's face, she thought for a moment and then said to the armed doll Bella, "Actually, you can be casual about how you address someone, there's no need to take it so seriously. Just be a little careful not to use such awkward terms of address in front of others."

“Whatever you like is fine…” The armed doll Bella pondered for a moment, “I understand, Your Majesty.”

"Then... wait, what did you just call me?"

"Your Majesty, what's wrong? Didn't you tell me to be casual? So I just used whatever I liked to address you." The armed doll Bella looked at her innocently.

After a moment of stunned silence, Celine sighed helplessly and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, alright, do whatever you want, just don't call me that in front of others. Oh, and one more thing, from now on I'll call you Little Bella."

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Little Bella nodded and then stood quietly to the side.

After glancing at the well-behaved Bella, Sirin turned her gaze to Sirin, who was standing to the side.

Chapter 56 System, what exactly are you?

A gentle smile spread across Celine's face. She reached out and ruffled little Celine's hair, whispering to her, "Want to go to the amusement park? With your new friend."

"Really! Mommy, are you really going to take me to the amusement park?" Hearing Celine's words, little Celine's eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation. She cheered and jumped for joy, eagerly awaiting Celine's affirmative answer.

"Of course, after all, this is what I promised you. When you promise someone something, if it's within your ability, you must keep your promise." Xilin nodded, pinched little Xilin's delicate face, and taught her to be honest.

"Yes, I understand." Little Xilin nodded happily, her smile so touching.

Then little Sirin came to little Bella, took her little hand, and shared her joy. When that radiant smile fell into little Bella's eyes, she was mesmerized. The instincts that transcended her basic commands were once again awakened within her—an impulse etched deep within her soul. She wanted to… protect little Sirin's smile.

Thinking this, Bella flipped her hand over and tightly grasped Sirin's hand. She quietly looked at Sirin, listening to her excited story. Finally, she seemed to be infected by Sirin's smile and smiled as well.

Celine watched them get along so well, and she was genuinely happy for little Celine, knowing that she wouldn't have to stay alone in the dollhouse from now on.

But... for some reason, she felt something was off, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Well, maybe it was just her imagination.

Xilin shook her head, took out her phone, and prepared to choose an amusement park that was within a reasonable distance. After she had chosen her destination, a voice suddenly rang in her ears. It was the familiar system notification, and what the voice announced surprised Xilin.

[Triggering a special event [Meeting Heroes]: To achieve final victory, we must unite against the enemy. Please befriend the remaining heroes and raise their favorability to 50 or higher to obtain their positive evaluations. If they haven't been added to the chat room, please add them. Without revealing yourselves, give the distributed bracelets to the corresponding heroes.]

[Note: There is no reward for this special event, but completing it will have a profound and beneficial impact on your future path. Currently, Hua has been rescued from the near-destruction of Canghai City by Himiko, and Sakura will take Ling to your current destination. Please seize this opportunity.]

As she patiently listened to the system's announcement, Xilin's astonishment deepened. She hadn't expected such a coincidence; Sakura and she were heading to the same place, which explained the event. And judging by the situation, this seemed to be a long-term event. Did that mean she would encounter even more heroes in the future?

Lost in thought, Celine suddenly realized that she, like a little butterfly, was now at the eye of a storm, everything drawn to her, good or bad. She felt as if she were teetering on the edge of a precipice, one step back and she would be reduced to ashes.

Xilin was deep in thought with a serious expression. She took a deep breath and called out to the system in her heart. This was the first time she had done something like this, and she hoped to know the information she wanted to know.

"System, what exactly are you?"

Silence, silence, a long silence, just when Xilin thought she would not get a response, a familiar voice came to her ears.
