After Seele and Bronya's side temporarily finished catching up, Misteln quietly let go of Shun's arm.
There was nothing to worry about on Bronya's side, but… if she wasn't mistaken, Shun's little sister wasn't very honest. She seemed to harbor abnormal feelings toward him.
This absolutely could not be discovered by the other party. After all, she was the one secretly having an affair.
"Seele, something's wrong. That woman who came with Bronya." Misteln had thought it through carefully, but unfortunately she hadn't known in advance about Dark Seele's existence.
"Eh? What's wrong?" Seele, whose attention was still on Bronya, didn't notice Misteln's small movements.
Dark Seele was different. In this world she wasn't the Bronya fangirl from the original plot. If Seele hadn't still cared about Bronya, she wouldn't have bothered with her at all.
Her attention was on Shun, so she naturally noticed Misteln's small movements.
To actually steal food while Seele and Bronya were catching up — wasn't this committing the act right in front of the wife?
After hearing Dark Seele's words, Seele was also shocked. "Could it be that brother doesn't reject intimate contact with her like that?"
Could it really be that she, because of the little-sister identity, doesn't let others compete on the track?
Seele couldn't help but fall into chaotic thoughts. Her reaction made Bronya in front of her quite worried.
"Seele, what happened?" Bronya still didn't know that the two people most important to her in this life were secretly fighting over the same man.
Faced with Bronya's questioning, Seele only showed a smile and replied perfunctorily, "Nothing, Bronya sister. It's just that Seele remembered a problem that has been troubling her for a long time."
Then she began discussing with her other self in her heart again. "If I really made brother have too many scruples because of the little-sister identity, then what should I do? Other me?"
Sensing Seele's inner anxiety, Dark Seele immediately spoke to comfort her: "Don't worry. Based on my understanding of him, even if there are other people behind the scenes, it's impossible for him to act intimately as if nothing happened right in front of others."
"I estimate this woman probably used some method to make Shun temporarily not notice anything wrong."
Dark Seele's form of existence wasn't that of an ordinary living being, so she could naturally feel the inhuman quality on Misteln that ordinary people couldn't sense.
"Ya, I didn't expect Shun's little sister to have another soul's existence? And… it's a perfect archetype. If it had been the previous me who encountered it, I probably would have excitedly gone up to make friends, right?"
It was fine that Dark Seele didn't speak, but the moment she communicated with Seele she exposed her existence. As an archetype, Misteln was extremely sensitive to the existence of another archetype.
Although she couldn't invade Seele's spiritual world to eavesdrop on their conversation, combining it with Seele's distorted familial affection toward Shun, she could probably guess quite a bit.
"Che, let's not talk about it for now. That woman discovered me." Feeling a peeping sensation, she figured it was that woman who had noticed her, so she immediately shut her mouth. To be safe — better not let what she said be heard by others.
"Eh, could other people also hear our previous conversation?" Seele felt extremely surprised. Even Fu Hua only vaguely knew about Dark Seele's existence.
"She may not be stronger than Fu Hua in spiritual power, but her method of existence is special — seems the same as mine. Anyway, being a little more careful is always good. If I'm not mistaken, she's definitely also your competitor."
After saying this, Dark Seele went silent first. Misteln, who no longer felt the same-kind aura on Seele, also quickly moved her gaze away from her.
"Cough cough." Shun, who still didn't know an open and secret battle had just taken place, cleared his throat a few times, signaling everyone should return to the main topic.
"Then our plan is the same as what we discussed before. I'll first send Seele and Bronya to the spatial coordinate closest to the orphanage. After that you take my spatial coordinate to the orphanage. Then Misteln and I, according to the intelligence Bronya provided, will strike straight at the heart of the matter, capture Cocolia alive at the fastest speed, and then return to the spatial coordinate in your hands to handle the orphanage's affairs."
"So, any other objections?"
"No." Bronya shook her head. Being able to stay with Seele made her naturally overjoyed, and she could also make a trip back to the orphanage.
"No." Misteln smiled and answered. Originally only Shun alone needed to catch Cocolia. She had insisted on contributing her own strength for him, so how could she object now?
"I… Seele also has no problem." Seele looked at Bronya and ultimately didn't say anything more. Although she knew letting Misteln and Shun be alone together was definitely not a good thing, but…
"Hmm, then it's happily decided. Seele, Bronya, this just happens to give you sisters more time together. You haven't seen each other for so long — you must both miss each other very much, right?"
Seele helplessly nodded. Missing Bronya was true, but at this moment she inexplicably felt unhappy. However, looking at Bronya's expression, she couldn't bring herself to say anything against it.
Shun, who possessed the Cosmic Juggernaut, had mobility second only to the Herrscher of the Void. He quickly arrived at a spatial coordinate near the Sea of Okhotsk. If he remembered correctly, Cocolia's orphanage wasn't too far from here — after all, this was the place where Seele and Bronya had agreed to go see the sea.
At the same time, beneath the Sea of Okhotsk there was also one of Cocolia's laboratories. The X-10 experiment had been conducted here.
"Then let's separate here. Seele, you and Bronya hurry to the orphanage and take a look. You haven't been back for so long — you must miss your friends there, right?" Shun instructed.
"Hmm." Seele nodded. This time she had no other intentions. What's done is done, and she really did miss those little companions. Even the most hated Sin Mal — Seele wasn't without the desire to see that stinky face again.
"Then, Misteln, let's move." Shun took Misteln's hand. Under the other's guidance, their ten fingers slowly interlocked as they left the spot.
Only a somewhat awkward Bronya and a somewhat gloomy-faced Seele were left behind.
"That woman definitely did it on purpose!" Dark Seele's angry voice came from the bottom of her heart. She could be certain Misteln had done that deliberately for her and Seele to see.
This feeling of someone else playing with your husband right in front of you while you can only secretly watch alone in the corner made Dark Seele extremely unhappy. If she had a physical body, measuring her blood pressure right now would probably make the monitor explode.
"Never mind, Bronya sister, let's go home!" Ultimately Seele's heart was extremely broad. In the blink of an eye she drove these troubles away without a trace. She tightly grabbed Bronya's hand and said in an extremely gentle voice.
"Hmm, let's go home!" Bronya firmly gripped Seele's small hand with both hands full of warmth and responded cheerfully and firmly.
They really had stayed outside too long. It was time to return to the home that belonged to the two of them.
