Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

She made the perfect gift by finely adjusting the proportions according to her sister's taste.

"Kiana... I'm a little worried. Are you really sure you can succeed?"

"There's still a small problem; something might be missing."

In a corner of the artificial bamboo forest, Ziyao and Mei were talking about something.

Bronya hid the gift behind her back, slowed her pace, and hid by the bamboo grove.

"Don't worry, it's only a matter of time before we resolve this. Once we separate Sirin, the effects of the Honkai will naturally disappear."

"Yao, what were you feeling?"

"They are both very cute, I like them very much."

"Flirtatious."

Mei puffed out her cheeks and complained.

They were discussing Kiana.

Realizing she had been eavesdropping, Bronya was about to leave, having not yet told Seele what kind of chocolate ingredients to buy.

She hadn't taken two steps when she heard her own name called.

"Bronya... I think of her more as a younger sister. She relies on me like an older sister, and I'm very happy about that."

"..."

Bronya's expression turned complicated upon hearing this.

Drip!

The communicator suddenly rang.

Luckily she covered it up quickly, otherwise it would have been discovered.

What should I buy?

Seele sent an inquiry and also posted a picture of the chocolate shelf.

Realizing she couldn't stay any longer, Bronya left the spot with mixed feelings.

Therefore, she did not hear what Ziyao said next.

"Putting that identity aside, I actually quite like Bronya. How should I put it..."

Ziyao said softly, her face flushed, feeling a little embarrassed to say it in front of Mei.

If the other party only sees you as a friend, then maintaining the status quo is fine.

Even knowing he's a womanizer, I still can't help myself.

I must be a terrible, awful woman.

Mei wasn't angry; it seemed she already knew the answer.

He reached out and stroked the girl's face. "Just how many girls have you seduced in countless reincarnations...?"

"It itches so much, I'm not a child anymore."

Ziyao slapped Mei's hand away, took a deep breath to calm herself, and then said that she had to go back first.

"Fucking arrogant."

Watching the girl's departing figure, Mei said with dissatisfaction.

Putting away her training bamboo sword, she went outside into the woods and noticed several shallow footprints on the floor.

Has anyone been here just now?

Mei's first thought was, could the so-called pink-haired ghost lady be nearby?

Little did they know, those who truly left their footprints had already gone far away.

In the kitchen, Seele saw Bronya's disappointed expression and wanted to tell her that she had bought extra candy, but the words stuck in her throat.

The observant Seele quickly noticed the gift box in Bronya's hand; it was clear that it hadn't been given away, suggesting that something unpleasant had happened.

"Didn't you find Sister Ziyao?"

Seele wanted to find some tactful words to comfort Bronya after learning the truth.

After thinking about it, she decided it would be better to be direct.

"No."

In reality, the answer is quite vague.

Although they found him, the other party did not notice him.

I also heard some things that were both funny and sad.

"I like Sister Ziyao."

"Yeah, Seele knows... Eh? Really?"

Seele smiled gently at first, then realized what was happening.

She had a premonition, but she wasn't sure.

Because at the beginning, the two older sisters were very close, and I thought that was their natural relationship, but later I found out that wasn't the case.

"She doesn't seem to have any feelings for Bronya in that respect."

To give an analogy, it's like taking a shortcut to complete a game, but then you can never reach the real ending, which makes you regretful and upset, negating the joy you gained from taking the shortcut.

Seele is her best friend, and the girl trusts her completely, so she tells her what's on her mind.

Isn't that a bit too greedy? She already brought Seele back and they've become so close, yet she still wants to take things a step further.

"So, my sister hasn't personally delivered it yet?"

Seele was clever; she guessed that.

"I overheard an unpleasant conversation."

Bronya recounted everything that had just happened.

Seele's face turned pale, and she clutched the hem of her clothes. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have texted you just now."

"But those were just things Sister Ziyao told others, right?"

"If you don't ask in person, you won't get the truth about their feelings, and that will only lead to future regrets."

Seele took Bronya's hand and said earnestly.

"I believe in my sister; she will definitely achieve the result she hopes for."

"The data has not been validated repeatedly, and its accuracy is questionable."

"Understood. Bronya will go and confirm it herself later."

Staring at me like that, any thought of running away vanished instantly.

"Why don't we go now?"

Seele nudged him and encouraged him from the side.

"Too anxious."

Bronya was very conflicted and didn't know what to do.

"Don't worry, Seele believes your relationship won't stop here."

"Go, sister! Seele is waiting for your good news."

Seele pushed Bronya from behind, left those words behind, and then closed the door with a smile, cutting off the girl's escape route.

Looking at the tightly closed door, she whispered, "It has to succeed."

Turn off the stove; the stew inside is emitting a wonderful aroma.

When Seele was getting the pad, she suddenly realized that her sister Bronya had forgotten to take her little gift.

..

Upon entering the living room, I saw Ziyao sitting alone on the sofa playing a game. The white game console in her hand was probably Kiana's.

Bronya stopped, then took a deep breath and sat down opposite the girl.

With Seele's encouragement, she regained a lot of confidence.

Recalling the moments they spent together, and the lingering warmth on her lips, she felt she still had a chance.

stare.....

“…”

The game's external speaker volume wasn't loud, but it was quite clear in the quiet living room.

Ziyao rested her chin on one hand, staring at the content on the screen with a bored expression.

stare....

..

“…”

Bronya's gaze remained fixed on herself, as if she were sketching or observing from life.

"what happened?"

"Sister Ziyao, what are you playing?"

"This is awesome!" Kiana suddenly exclaimed.

She stealthily approached Bronya with ill intent, saying, "Love Game, it's about a forbidden love story between sisters."

She deliberately omitted the most painful parts, revealing only the tip of the iceberg.

She couldn't pull off the melodramatic plot yesterday; it was like she was preaching, and she wanted to give Bronya a stomachache too.

"Sisters...forbidden..."

Bronya murmured, grasping the key point.
