Looking at the two people chatting and laughing, Bronya also let out a long breath in her heart.
It seemed that the matter between the two of them should have been resolved.
Thinking of this, Bronya suddenly became a little curious about what kind of consensus the two of them had finally reached.
'But judging by Kiana's expression, it should be a happy ending for everyone...'
On the other side, at the same time Bronya noticed Kiana and them, Kiana and the others also noticed Bronya.
Kiana waved enthusiastically from afar and greeted, "Bronya, over here over here!"
"That idiot..."
Although Bronya spoke words of dislike for Kiana, she still smiled and turned to Seele, saying, "Seele, let me introduce, these are the two very good friends I just mentioned, Kiana and Mei."
At this moment, Kiana had already run up to the two of them first and said playfully, "You meanie Bronya, I called out to you and you ignored me!"
"Idiot Kiana."
Bronya commented expressionlessly, "Who says being called means you have to respond? Also, you shouted so loudly, everyone around is looking."
"Let them look, we're chatting our chat, they're looking their look, what's the problem?"
"That's exactly why you're an idiot."
"You!"
Kiana stomped angrily and reached out to pinch Bronya's face.
Bronya couldn't dodge and was caught right on the spot by Kiana.
Seeing this, Bronya simply decided to go all in, raised her hand, and pinched Kiana's face back.
Looking at the two of them fighting like elementary school kids, Raiden Mei, who had just arrived, said with a helpless smile, "You two... why do you bicker as soon as you meet?"
On the side, Seele looked at the familiar interaction between the three of them, and the expression on her face also unconsciously softened.
And this scene, falling into Bronya's eyes, made a strange feeling rise in her heart.
Because Seele's expression seemed like she had known them for a long time.
"This is Seele."
After the playful moment, Bronya introduced to everyone, "Although you've already met briefly before, this is the first formal introduction, right?"
"Hello~ Seele!" Kiana greeted Seele enthusiastically, "I'm Kiana Kaslana, just call me Kiana!"
"Hello, Classmate Seele," Raiden Mei said gently with a smile, "I'm Raiden Mei, very nice to meet you~"
To this, Seele also responded with a smile, "Hello, I'm Seele Vollerei."
Her gaze drifted over the two of their faces, "Very happy to meet you... really very happy..."
Seeing this, Bronya instinctively frowned slightly.
Because she noticed that in Seele's attitude towards the two, there was a kind of indescribable familiarity, and also, Kiana and Raiden Mei's reactions were very strange.
The way they looked at Seele didn't seem like meeting for the first time, rather more like reuniting with an old friend.
At that moment, Seele's gaze unintentionally swept across the corridor on the other side.
Her pupils suddenly shrank and instantly turned crimson.
Over there, Van was walking side by side with Himeko, the two seemed to be discussing something.
"Seele?" Bronya noticed her abnormality, "What's wrong?"
'Seele' immediately withdrew her gaze and pretended nothing happened, "Nothing... Seele just thought she saw someone familiar."
Bronya followed the direction Seele had just looked toward.
In her eyes, she only saw Himeko alone and didn't notice Van beside her.
"Someone familiar? You mean Teacher Himeko..." Bronya said, "She's our homeroom teacher, a very good teacher."
'Seele' lowered her head, and her bangs covered her expression.
"'Good teacher', is it? Then Seele is really looking forward... to 'interacting' with this good teacher in the future~"
Although Seele's tone was exactly like the past, Bronya still sensed something a bit off.
After separating in the main hall of the teaching building, Bronya escorted Seele to the door of the new class.
"I'll come pick you up after school in the evening," Bronya said, "Then take you to the celebration dinner."
Seele nodded obediently and said, "Okay, Bronya, Seele understands."
After Bronya turned the corner in the stairwell, the smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by extreme seriousness.
Recalling the strange things she just noticed in Seele, Bronya murmured to herself, "The strange sense of familiarity between Seele and Kiana and them..."
"And those fleeting crimson pupils... Could it be... the things in the video are real?!"
"Seele... inside her... is there really another 'Seele'..."

At the same time, outside St. Freya Academy.
After leaving the central courtyard, Mobius walked out of the school and got into a black business car on the street.
Once Mobius got into the back seat, the car began to slowly move. Mobius leaned on the seat and casually dialed her assistant's phone.
"Klein, the experiment I asked you to prepare earlier..."
On the other side of the call came Klein's calm and unruffled voice.
"Doctor, everything related to the experiment has been prepared, just waiting for you to bring back the 'subject'."
Klein's words made Mobius silent for a moment.
Her mind instinctively recalled the scene that had just happened, and her face suddenly turned a little red.
As if realizing her own thoughts were a little improper, Mobius immediately shook her head to clear her mind and said,
"That experiment... temporarily suspended."
"Understood, Doctor." Klein responded without any hesitation.
In her eyes, no matter what Doctor Mobius did, it always had her reasons.
Even if it was the previous request to investigate how many women a certain high school student named 'Van' had interacted with...
Such a seemingly nonsensical mission, Klein still felt there must be a deeper meaning she wasn't aware of.
Over here, Klein continued, "By the way, Doctor, regarding the strange thing you had me investigate at the lab, we've made some progress."
Upon hearing this, Mobius's expression also turned serious.
"Tell me your conclusion, Klein."
"According to the lab surveillance, that invitation appeared out of thin air on the experiment table. With current technological capabilities, it's very difficult to explain this phenomenon."
"Of course, we can't rule out it being a new type of unknown technology. As for the contents of the invitation…"
Here, Klein paused for a moment, "We've decrypted part of it. It mentioned the keywords 'Twilight Street', 'Magic Show', and 'Director'."
Upon hearing this, Mobius's expression suddenly froze.
Because the meaning behind these keywords, she was far too familiar with them.
"Twilight Street, magic show, director…" She softly repeated these few words, and the image of a figure wearing a magician's hat appeared in her mind.
After hanging up the phone, looking out the car window at the fast-passing scenery, Mobius narrowed her eyes.
"Vil-V... could it be that all of this is your doing?"
