Hearing the strange noise from Bronya beside her, Seele hurriedly shifted her attention from Luo Hong back to Bronya.
"Big Sister Bronya, what's wrong?"
—Hmm? Since when did Big Sister Bronya and I let go of each other's hands?
At the same time, she noticed she wasn't holding Bronya's arm anymore; everything before seemed like an illusion.
"It's nothing..."
Clamping her legs together, Bronya tried hard to keep her expression normal and said, "I just happened to step into a sand pit and startled myself."
After saying that, she conveniently crouched down slightly, looking at the small pit she had just deliberately made with her foot.
[Bronya is really quick-witted.]
Luo Hong couldn't help but voice his praise in Bronya's mind.
[Wasn't I forced into this by you?]
While Seele was inspecting the small pit, Bronya gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Luo Hong.
[When one is small, one must be forced a bit tighter.]
[???]
However, without giving Bronya—who understood the double entendre immediately—a chance to reflect, Seele's voice came through—
"Oh, so that's it..."
Seeing that there was indeed a small sand pit under Bronya's foot, Seele felt relieved and crouched down alongside Bronya.
At the same time, she waved to Luo Hong and said, "Big Brother Luo Hong, you're finally here."
"Thank you for finally letting Seele see Big Sister Bronya."
After speaking, her eyes were filled with gratitude.
"Heh!"
Chuckling lightly, Luo Hong walked over and waved his hand, saying, "It's just a small matter."
"However—"
Changing the subject, he smiled, "You should have understood the rules of this world when you first arrived, right?"
"So, how do you plan to repay me?"
After speaking, he looked at Seele with a beaming smile.
As his words fell, not only Bronya but even Dark Seele, who was following behind, tensed up together.
Admittedly, Luo Hong had promised Bronya not to lay a hand on Seele, but if Seele herself said the wrong thing, this guy would have no scruples!
"Seele... Seele doesn't know..."
Shaking her head slightly, Seele seemed to revert to the timid girl resembling a little deer.
But soon, a determined look appeared in her sea-blue eyes.
"But as long as it's something Big Brother Luo Hong wants, Seele can give you anything."
"After all, you let me see Big Sister Bronya, who is most important to Seele!"
After speaking, she turned to look at Bronya and smiled gently.
"Seele..."
Seeing this, Bronya suppressed her physical discomfort and forced a smile.
But what Seele didn't know was that at this moment, she, along with Dark Seele further back, felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
—Seele promised way too much!
However—
"Just seeing Seele smile like this is enough."

Seeing this, the corners of Luo Hong's mouth turned up, and he said, "Besides, I haven't let you meet in reality yet. Wait until you can be together forever, then it won't be too late to say those words to me."
"Big Brother Luo Hong..."
Hearing Luo Hong say this, Seele turned to look at him, the gratitude in her eyes deepening.
"Um..."
Pretending not to notice the gratitude in Seele's eyes, Luo Hong looked towards Dark Seele further back and said, "Dark Seele, why are you walking so far behind?"
"What a shy child."
"You..."
Firstly, Dark Seele didn't dare to act rashly in front of Luo Hong. Secondly, considering what Luo Hong had just said, she tentatively refrained from arguing. Instead, she obediently walked over and said, "I just wanted to let Seele and Onee-sama have a good chat."
"Anyway, Onee-sama... she doesn't know me."
What she said made sense; Bronya indeed didn't know her, but there was a faint scent of jealousy in her words.
It had to be said, Dark Seele was a big vinegar jar (jealous type).
And she was not only jealous of Seele but also jealous of Bronya.
"Seele... Dark Seele..."
Following Luo Hong's lead, Bronya turned her head and managed to say, "Although Bronya hasn't formally communicated with you, Bronya vaguely sensed Seele's peculiarities."
"Many times, the one Bronya was facing was actually you, right?"
"Hmph."
A light snort was Dark Seele's answer to Bronya.
"I'm sorry, the other me."
Standing up, Seele quickly walked to Dark Seele, took her small hand, and said, "Just now, Seele was used to life as one with you, so I neglected you."
"Heh!"
Facing Seele's apology, Dark Seele suppressed her reluctance and sneered, pulling her small hand away from Seele.
"What do you mean you neglected me?"
Crossing her arms, she said with a look of unruly arrogance, "Don't act all high and mighty. I clearly just gave you the opportunity to be alone with Onee-sama!"
"Oh, oh... I misspoke."
Facing the "arrogant" Dark Seele, Seele revealed a gentle smile as if coaxing a child and quickly apologized.
Then, without waiting for Dark Seele's reply, she went behind her and pushed her towards Bronya.
"So now, the other me, you should also get to know Big Sister Bronya properly."
"Dark... Dark Seele..."
Seeing both Seeles coming before her, Bronya realized she couldn't stay crouched anymore.
Helplessly, she stood up with her legs trembling slightly and looked at Dark Seele with a complex expression.
"Bronya will treat you the same way she treats Seele."
It was strange.
Clearly, there was another Seele, which should mean double the happiness.
But why?
She just couldn't feel happy!
"No need to force yourself in front of me."
Leaning in close to Bronya, Dark Seele whispered with a slightly flushed face, "I saw everything that guy did to you just now."
Since her movements were quick and her voice quiet, Seele didn't hear her conversation with Bronya.
"Huh?"
Hearing Dark Seele say this, Bronya was stunned, looking at Dark Seele in disbelief.
"What are you two saying?"
Seeing this, Seele couldn't help but voice her curiosity.
At the same time... what was this atmosphere that only she wasn't privy to?
Even though she was the one introducing Dark Seele to Bronya, she felt a sense of being excluded.
"Nothing."
Shaking her head, Dark Seele said, "I was just talking to Onee-sama about things from the past."
"Mm..."
Playing along with Dark Seele, Bronya, regaining her senses, quickly said, "Bronya just didn't expect that that time, it was also Dark Seele."
"About that..."
Although on the surface it appeared that Seele accepted the answer, the doubts in her heart only multiplied.
After all, she had always been together with "Dark Seele." She simply couldn't figure out which specific time it was that caused Bronya to mistake one for the other.
