Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

The flavor is moderate, not sweet, but with a subtle aftertaste.

It's very soft and has good elasticity. Hmm... I'd give it a 9 out of 10.

"------!"

Bronya didn't blush.

The moment their lips parted, she reached out and pressed down on the girl's arm, the handcuffs gleaming under the light.

The experienced duckling wouldn't let her succeed so easily; it gently bent down and dodged the sudden attack.

"Don't worry."

"We are all one person, there is no need for us to become enemies."

The girl sat on the soft bed and crossed her legs.

"Seele, get behind Bronya quickly."

"Yao will be back soon, Xi'er. Don't be nervous. Please trust us. There's just a slight misunderstanding."

Bronya summoned the heavily armed bunny, which Seele immediately recognized. She looked around, unsure of who to believe.

Let them fight; whoever wins is the real winner.

Hei Xi, always eager for a good show, said with a sly smile, a slight blush on her face.

How could you do this? Seele doesn't want her sister to get hurt.

The care and concern shown to her by her older sister Bronya was genuine, as warm as that of family.

He spoke softly and gently, carefully tucked her in, and made sure the cold drafts coming in didn't wake her when he went out...

Incredibly gentle and attentive, as if treating the most precious thing.

If people like this harbor malice, is there anyone in the world worth trusting?

Even though the smaller version of her sister seems more real, Seele doesn't want her to get hurt, no matter who it is.

After making the decision, the girl quickly stood between the two.

“Seele.…”

Spain's gaze softened, and it immediately ordered Reload Rabbit to unload the weapons.

Ziyao lightly brushed her hair aside and then put down the hand cannon in her hand, which was called 'Final Project'.

Although she had no intention of taking action, she couldn't just remain completely silent.

"Please leave this place with your sister, leave this empty ocean."

"Rosalia, Lilia, and new friends... everyone is waiting for you."

Taking Seele's hand, Bronya said sincerely.

She was overjoyed to see Seele again.

What was lost and then regained is hard-won.

"Excuse me for being blunt, but how do you plan to leave?"

Ziyao sighed, the girls were completely unaware that they were caught in a multi-party game.

The Law of Reason, the Serpent of the World, Destiny...

"Take it one step at a time, there's always a way."

"Too mystical," Ziyao said, shaking her head.

After saying that, she picked up Seele and carried her away under Bronya's disapproving gaze.

Openly, she even kissed the girl's fair face.

[Tesla: Hurry up, I want to see rivers of blood!]

[Mei: helplessly shrugging.jpg]

Kiana Kaslana: Why didn't you take me with you?

"Seele is still sick; she had a fever this morning."

"Schicksal has been investigating intensely lately, and they've caught people suspected of being corrupted by the Honkai. Do you know what they'll do?"

But I am the bishop's sister, and it is absolutely safe for you to stay with me until everything is over.

"After all... you don't want Seele to be discovered, do you?"

Ziyao was alluding to Xier going out in the evening.

It's possible that the mark left by Kevin caused a Honkai-like erosion reaction, leading Seele to provoke the Valkyries.

Even tomorrow, Destiny will not give up the search for Seele.

Since Ziyao was singled out for investigation once, presumably no one else will come, which is what is meant by "blind spots under the lamp."

"..."

Spain understood that she didn't have many good options.

Ziyao's words made perfect sense and provided a good solution.

"Seele, are you willing to believe her?"

"Yes, my sister is a good person."

Seele is always too trusting and kind-hearted. Wouldn't putting her here be like a lamb to the slaughter?

"So, what's your decision?"

"Bronya is moving in too."

After careful consideration, the girl came up with a solution.

We can't let Seele fall into the hands of a bad woman.

Little did Bronya know, this could very well result in both of them losing for nothing.

After leaving Ziyao's apartment, she returned to her dormitory across the street, bringing with her basic bedding, pillows, and toiletries, clearly preparing for a long haul.

As she walked, she organized her thoughts.

In the fourth test, she met Seele, and it was the real Seele.

But strangely, there was another version of herself next to her.

I secretly plucked a hair and had it tested by the Re-engineered Rabbit. To my surprise, it turned out to be exactly the same as her genes.

The other party had no ill intentions; on the contrary, they took good care of them like an older sister.

This feeling... it feels so familiar.

Could it be Sister Ziyao?

Bronya dismissed the idea as soon as it crossed her mind.

Impossible, her sister Ziyao wouldn't be that bad.

The girl didn't expect that because she didn't understand Ziyao the puppeteer's abilities, she would miss the correct answer.

The impermanence of life is evident in this.

Often, the answer isn't that we can't think of it, but rather that there are too many possible options, and no one knows which one it is.

We can only rely on knowledge and experience to screen and make decisions.

Bronya remains wary of you; her favorability rating is 42.

＆＆

Bronya often can't help but think of you, affection level 88]

"A kiss actually increased my affection by 12... Should I kiss you again?"

Ziyao murmured thoughtfully, though the idea was not very reliable.

Bronya's doll is as clean as a blank sheet of paper, so it has little impact on her actions.

Or rather, many of their characteristics overlap.

For example, they are meticulous thinkers, like to analyze problems in an organized manner, and are very persistent about certain strange details...

"The bed is so small."

Bronya complained.

Despite being the bishop's sister, she lives in such a small apartment.

"It's okay, Seele can sleep on the sofa."

The girl didn't want others to bear the uncomfortable burden, so she volunteered.

"No, you're still sick, you can't get cold again."

Spain immediately rejected the girl's suggestion.

How can you sleep in a place where you can't even stretch your body? You'll have back pain after just one night.

Now, the three of us have no choice but to squeeze in together.

"That's right, it's warmer when everyone sleeps in the same bed."

After helping the girls spread out their pillows, Ziyao patted the bed and said generously.

"..."

Bronya actually preferred to be with Seele and wasn't particularly interested in the girl who claimed to be her future self.

What she didn't expect was that she would regret it so soon—

Volume 1: A Day of Loneliness at the End of the Year

As the title says, I'm a bit too busy with work to take care of things here, otherwise I wouldn't dare go home for the Chinese New Year.
