But whenever Duckie's unreasonable demands involved Seele, Kiana would suddenly seem to hit a nerve.
Even if she didn't dare raise her voice, she'd immediately put on an uncompromising look, as if she'd rather face total social embarrassment than agree!
Right now, Bronya looked as steady as an old dog, seemingly holding Kiana by her weak spot.
Yet, Bronya was still somewhat wary of pushing this big dummy Kiana too far and causing a complete fallout.
So if Kiana absolutely refused to budge, Bronya didn't dare press too hard.
However, what Bronya truly wanted was for dummy Kiana to keep her appearance in Seele's hospital room a secret.
Seeing that Kiana didn't find this request too hard to accept and agreed quite readily, Bronya—who was worried about being hunted down and interrogated by Schicksal—let out a slight sigh of relief in her heart.
Watching Bronya pull out her phone to communicate instead of speaking, Kiana—though not the quickest thinker—at least knew how to use a phone.
She soon copied… ahem… borrowed Bronya's method, also starting to type on her own phone to haggle with that sly fox Bronya.
Unfortunately, with typing speed far inferior to Bronya's, Kiana was utterly outmatched in this keyboard battle, falling decisively into the underdog position.
After all, if it took you forever to tap out one sentence, while the other person had already flooded the screen with five, six, seven, or eight replies—how could you possibly keep up?
And just as the under-the-bed duo somehow reached some rather unmentionable backdoor agreements…
Mei, who had been sitting properly by Lunelle's bedside, was now clearly showing signs of something unusual.
A similar situation had actually happened to Kiana not long ago.
But unlike Kiana, who remained completely clueless about what had caused her sudden loss of self-control…
Mei at this moment could clearly sense exactly who was behind the sudden shift in her emotions!
Because the culprit causing these abnormal emotional fluctuations was none other than the Herrscher personality inside Mei, which should have been dormant and silent!
"That's about enough, isn't it? You've already made Kiana bear blame that shouldn't have been hers."
"Don't even think about using my body to do such outrageous, bad things to sweet little Lunelle again!"
Perhaps thinking there was no one else in the room besides herself and the sleeping Lunelle…
And clearly feeling a certain dangerous presence in her consciousness constantly trying to interfere with her thoughts, wanting to use her to do something "risky" to the adorable Lunelle before her…
The usually gentle Mei was, for once, genuinely angry.
She sharply rebuked the restless Herrscher persona within her.
But Mei, who believed she was only talking to herself, never expected her words to be clearly overheard by Kiana and Bronya, who were currently hiding under Lunelle's bed.
Though Bronya didn't quite understand this strange soliloquy from Mei-nee-sama…
The moment she heard it involved her most precious little sister Seele, Bronya instantly pricked up her ears.
And Kiana, who had only listened casually because it was Mei speaking, suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief!
'Huh? Could it be that I was actually taking the fall for Mei that morning?'
Whenever she recalled that endlessly frustrating morning, Kiana had sworn more than once in her heart that if she ever found the one who framed her…
She would make that villain who caused her so much grief pay an unimaginably terrible price.
But if the damn person who framed her just so happened to be her most cherished Mei…
Kiana: Uh…
Remembering her past fierce resolve, Kiana froze on the spot in awkward silence.
But in the blink of an eye, she immediately came around.
'Revenge? How dare I even think that!'
'As the great Lady Kiana, would I really be the petty, narrow-minded type who holds a grudge and seeks revenge just because I was wrongly accused?'
After all, even in the original storyline, after Kiana became the Herrscher of Finality with absolutely overwhelming power, didn't she still have to sneak around like a thief just to eat a bowl of instant noodles behind her dear wife Mei's back?
So no matter the era, our dear Kiana is, in the end, just a wife-fearing bug.
But just as the two beauties hiding under the bed were struck by the surprising information Mei had accidentally revealed…
Lunelle, who had entered deep sleep with the simulator's assistance not long ago, suddenly began to wake up groggily right at this moment.
"Haahm… It feels like I haven't been asleep long at all, so why did I wake up so quickly this time?"
Feeling distinctly like she hadn't slept enough upon regaining consciousness, Lunelle sensed something was off.
She also vaguely felt as if… her lips had been firmly sucked by someone?
Could it be that some outrageously bold pervert had shamelessly taken advantage of her sleep to sneak a kiss—and a really forceful one at that?
But little did the suddenly awakened Lunelle know that her wild guess was actually spot on!
In fact, Lunelle's slightly exaggerated assumption was even an understatement by half, because there weren't just one, but two perverts who had stolen kisses from her while she slept!
And soon, that original two might very well become three!
As it turned out, Lunelle's unexpected awakening—though she had only instinctively yawned—was, in this context, the final straw that broke the camel's back for Mei, who was already on the verge of losing control.
Seeing the adorable Lunelle acting so carelessly "alluring" right in front of her…
"Lunelle, you!!"
"You're playing with fire!"
Mei, who had been struggling to restrain herself all along, suddenly felt as if a tightly drawn string in her mind had snapped!
And so…
"Huh? Mei-oneechan… Mmmph!!!"
Lunelle, who had just shaken off her sleep-dazed state, barely managed to refocus her blurry vision when she suddenly saw her dear wife Mei—eyes gleaming with dangerous "❤"s—pouncing right on top of her!
Before Lunelle could utter another word, poor Lunelle was instantly robbed of her freedom to breathe.
Lunelle: o(*////｀Д′////*)q
