Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

It originated in the Americas across the ocean, but eventually became a popular custom in the Far East.

Ziyao has always lived in the Far East, so sending her chocolates is highly likely to be a safe and reliable option.

but.....

Mei's biggest worry wasn't what to give as a gift, but the most crucial and fatal question—who would she give it to?

When she left not long ago, the girl said she would also prepare a gift.

According to Far Eastern tradition, girls give chocolates to the people they care about.

Of course, to distinguish between friendship and romantic feelings, there is also a distinction between "signature chocolates".

Once Ziyao gives away this one and only special chocolate, it means she has chosen her favorite person.

This means...

Things I never cared about before, I now care about very much, and I can't even concentrate on my kendo practice.

Mei took a deep breath, convinced that she didn't dislike Kiana.

But whether you're a girl or a boy, you'll always want to be number one in the heart of the person you love.

Perhaps this is what is called possessiveness?

"Sorry, I was too engrossed in my own world."

"Do you need any help?"

"Bronya saw someone in the inner hall who looked a lot like Mei, with long, pink and white fox ears and a katana tucked into her hip."

"So you came here to confirm?"

"Hmm, it seems not. What Seele saw a few days ago wasn't an illusion. Bronya witnessed it just now too."

Unfortunately, they disappeared as soon as they reached the lobby.

"Pink fox ears....."

Mei remembered what happened three months ago when they were caught up in the Jizo Mitama.

She then suggested to Bronya that perhaps asking Ziyao would provide the answer.

Bronya nodded, bid farewell to Mei, and walked through the quaint alleyways to Ziyao's room.

Just as she was about to knock on the door, she remembered that Ziyao had gone to tutor Qiyana.

So he turned around and walked in the opposite direction, finally stopping in front of Kiana's room.

She reached out her pale, lotus-root-like hand, but the voice coming from inside stopped her from knocking on the door.

"...Stupid couple."

Ta-ta-ta.....

Footsteps echoed down the corridor.

"Sister Theresa asked Seele to come and check on Sister Kiana's studies."

The person who came was Seele. She looked around and searched for a long time before finally arriving here.

Bronya blocked the door, preventing Seele from knocking.

"Thank you for your trouble. Please go back and tell her that Kiana wasn't slacking off, but rather... studying hard."

"I know I was wrong."

Kneeling on the bed, the paramecium lowered its proud head.

"Once you finish this last semester of academic courses, you won't need to look at these anymore."

Of course, even if you stop going to school, learning is still necessary.

Bronya didn't say the last sentence, worried that it would backfire and make Kiana even less able to concentrate on her studies.

"Kiana, you're not stupid, so why can't you ever learn well?"

Bronya looked at the exam paper in her hand and sighed.

"Hey, because my heart isn't here."

The girl acted nonchalantly, sticking out her tongue and trying to look cute.

How can two people learn well when they are alone together, with the curtains drawn and the door locked?

"At least flip through a book instead of immediately opening a game."

"Once the mood strikes, there's no stopping it."

Kiana's gaze wandered, her voice weak, and then she realized the key to breaking the deadlock.

"I have accomplices!" she said, tugging at Ziyao's clothes and pointing to another handle on the bed.

This way, responsibility can be shared.

Moreover, out of respect for Yao, Bronya certainly couldn't say much.

"Hmm, it must be you who seduced my sister..."

That makes sense; if Sister Ziyao didn't allow it, Kiana definitely wouldn't open the game.

“Oh dear… Bronya, I’ve discovered something.”

Kiana smiled knowingly, her tension turning into composure.

"You keep calling me 'sister,' when did you two become so close?"

Not to be outdone, she launched a counterattack.

Enjoying your alone time shouldn't be interrupted by a third wheel!

Seeing Bronya choke, Kiana put her hands on her hips, looking quite pleased.

Is this what it means for a gentleman to take revenge so readily?

“Sister Ziyao is the older sister, and Bronya is her younger sister.”

To everyone's surprise, Bronya remained silent for only a short while.

Then, as if to prove it, the girl hugged Ziyao's right arm from the side.

"It is only right for me, as the younger sister, to keep an eye on things in order to prevent bad women from taking advantage of me."

"Idiot Kiana, makeup doesn't suit you. The lipstick is too heavy, and the white stockings aren't long enough. They should at least be above the knee."

As the poet said, sharp words are comparable to real swords, wounding people invisibly.

Bronya first looked her up and down, then offered her sharp comment.

Kiana nearly choked on her own blood, and hurriedly looked in the mirror to examine herself.

The girl in the mirror looks good overall, but there are many problems with the details.

The side braid wasn't tied properly, the hair accessory was inappropriate, the overall color scheme of the outfit was off, and the socks were too short, like athletic socks...

Even though she had pulled down the fabric so much at her chest, Ziyao acted as if she hadn't seen it. She thought it was because she wasn't attractive enough. So that's how it is.

Preparing too hastily will only lead to chaos.

Ughhhhh, I want to die.

My legs were trembling uncontrollably, my ears were burning, and my gaze was fixed on the pristine white bed, too afraid to lift it.

"Sister Ziyao, a pink ghost has appeared in the manor. Could you please help with the investigation?"

"no!"

Kiana blushed and hugged Ziyao's other side, saying that she still had tutoring to do and couldn't take her away.

"As far as Bronya knows, her sister's academic performance is not bad, but educating a fool is a waste of effort."

"How about teaching me about health care?"

What's more, the girl used to be their health teacher.

"If health education gets into bed-related topics, then there's a problem."

Bronya was unwilling to back down either; if she had arrived any later, the paramecium might have succeeded.

Unable to reach a stalemate, the two looked at Ziyao and asked her to make the decision.

"all I want."

She had promised Theresa to spend more time with Kiana, and even without that promise, she would have kept it.

At the same time, the rumor that there might be ghosts in the mansion also needs to be addressed, otherwise it would be bad if it disturbed everyone's sleep.

After all, she is a puppeteer.

Creating a clone is not difficult.

As if by magic, an exact replica of Ziyao appeared beside her.

"Eh?"

Even though I knew she had this ability, I couldn't help but be curious.

Kiana reached out and pinched her cheek; it was soft and warm, like a human's.

"No way, this is so real."

"Based on the analysis, it is indeed human."

Bronya observed carefully and poked the fourth core value with her hand.

It's very soft, yet has a slight firmness that allows it to bounce back.

The two Ziyao reacted almost simultaneously.

"We share a common feeling, and... our thinking is also the same."
