In just an instant, the aura of the Seele in front of Shun underwent a massive change. However, Shun, who was absorbed in eating, naturally failed to notice.
Seele propped her hand on the table and stared straight at Shun as he ate, lost in thought about something.
"Finished eating?" Seele's voice came. For a moment, Shun didn't notice anything off about her tone.
"Yeah, I'm good." Shun patted his stomach. Even if he didn't eat now, he could still do so. Generally, no matter how much he ate, he could digest it. Eating had basically become a way to satisfy his appetite.
"Not full yet, right? Open your mouth." Seele's voice left no room for refusal. Shun subconsciously opened his mouth.
Wait, this isn't my obedient and cute little sister Seele… Shun sensed something was wrong, but the moment he wanted to say something, the spoon was directly shoved into his mouth.
"Cough… cough…" Shun nearly choked and quickly refused the spoon Seele was extending again.
"Wait, wait. I'm not eating anymore. You're the other Seele, right!" Whether it was her tone or her attitude toward him, she clearly wasn't his little angel Seele.
Shun examined Seele, whose pupils had changed from sea-blue to crimson. Although the two looked identical, their auras were completely different.
"Yes. You can also call me Seele. Just Seele. No surname." Seele twirled a strand of her hair with her slender fingers and said.
"Alright, I understand. Miss Seele No-Surname."
"It's Seele! No surname!" Seele angrily pounded the table, making Shun shrink his neck. She suddenly missed her obedient and cute Seele.
The Abyss Flower within his flesh seemed to sense Shun's thoughts and sent him a wave of dissatisfaction. At the same time, Seele glanced at Shun's right arm before quickly looking away.
"So, Miss Seele, whom I am truly meeting for the first time today, what brings you to me?"
After all, during the time he had spent with Seele, Black Seele had never appeared. For her to suddenly take over Seele's body today… what exactly did she want?
"Nothing much. I just missed you and wanted to come out to see how you're doing…" Seele's sudden directness left Shun a bit dazed.
What's going on? What did I do? Isn't Black Seele supposed to be obsessed with Seele and Bronya? What does this have to do with me?
"Uh… can you explain more clearly? I feel like I don't quite understand." Shun gave Seele an awkward smile.
"You still like to play dumb… If this weren't Seele's body, you wouldn't be getting away today…" Seele muttered to herself words that made Shun's back run cold.
But… this information… hiss. Shun felt like he was going crazy. It couldn't possibly be that Black Seele had something to do with him, right? What exactly had he done?!
Elysia, Misteln, Otto, and now another Seele… What on earth had happened? How had this world become something he no longer recognized!
"Say something. Why aren't you talking? Aren't you usually so eloquent? Show some courage." Seele continued putting pressure on Shun.
"Hahaha, I think the weather is really nice today. How about we go out for a walk? It's strangely hot in this family restaurant…" Just from Seele's pressure, Shun was already sweating profusely and felt he couldn't sit still any longer.
"Shun, no matter what… seeing you still makes me very happy…" Seele suddenly stopped applying pressure. Shun even found it a bit unfamiliar.
She recalled the fragments continuously flashing through her mind. Without exception, from that day onward, a certain person's figure had appeared in them. And it was on a certain day that those memories had completely cut off.
"Can't you take the initiative? Like you did before…"
Although he didn't know what had happened, in the current situation, he probably needed to take the initiative and do something…
Shun left his seat, walked to Seele's side, and opened his arms. In the next moment, soft warmth filled his embrace. Shun's nose was filled with Seele's scent.
How strange… They were clearly using the same body, yet the feeling of hugging her was worlds apart. If holding her before had felt like embracing a soft, spoiled, obedient little kitten that liked to nestle in your arms, then right now? The feeling was more like holding a majestic, untamable lion.
Of course, not the one in Lu Mingfei's eyes. In any case, the two completely different sensations of embrace gave Shun a novel experience.
"You still need me to bring it up… Really, where did your quick wits from before go?" Seele rested her head on Shun's shoulder and grumbled.
"This body is still too short right now…" Otherwise, she definitely would have bitten Shun on the neck.
Shun didn't dare speak, because he still didn't know exactly what his relationship with the Seele in his arms was. Right now he felt like a human-machine. As a transmigrator, he should have had unparalleled information advantage, yet now he knew nothing.
"Mm… let me leave her a gift." Shun felt his head suddenly held by two slender but powerful hands. A bad premonition arose.
Seele stood on her tiptoes slightly so her head could reach Shun's lips.
As she drew close, Shun heard her murmur, "Ich liebe dich!"
Then, Seele's delicate lips pressed against his. Her small tongue unceremoniously pried open Shun's teeth, like a brave explorer venturing into an unknown and mysterious realm.
Immediately afterward, Shun saw a sly and triumphant smile appear on Seele's face. Then, those blood-like crimson pupils visibly shifted back to the familiar sea-blue he knew.
At first, those sea-blue eyes were filled with confusion, as if the deep ocean was covered by a thin layer of mist.
After a while, she seemed to understand what had happened. Her expression turned somewhat dazed, and a lovely blush spread across the girl's delicate face.
Only then did Shun react. He quickly stopped and pulled a few meters away from Seele.
"Brother, what happened?" Seele's face was flushed red, still carrying a trace of bewilderment, as if she was still recalling the sensation from moments ago.
"Seele, listen to me. This is all a misunderstanding…" Shun knew that at this point, no matter what he said it probably wouldn't help, but instinct still made him explain nonstop.
"Mm, Seele believes Brother." Seele nodded shyly. Her tone seemed even gentler than usual.
"Slap… slap…" Crisp, loud slapping sounds echoed continuously in the air. Shun's palm was fiercely striking his own cheeks again and again.
"I really deserve to die!"
