PFC Chapter 236 Will Seele be taken away?
Chapter 236 Will Seele be taken away?
Time is a mysterious thing. Boring and sad times always seem to drag on endlessly, while meaningful and happy times pass by incredibly quickly... And yet, different people's time is not synchronized!
For example, at this very moment, Kiana, who was stuck at home being made to do her homework by Theresa, felt like the short time she spent doing her homework had lasted for centuries; while Mei, who forcefully pulled Sora into her arms and forced him to "familiarize himself with her scent," felt that only a few minutes had passed from the moment Sora entered the room until Seele dragged Bronya to knock on the door, and Sora hurriedly moved his head off her lap—in fact, it had been almost an hour.
"Mei, you..."
Although she kept reminding herself that this must be a conspiracy by the Herrscher of Thunder, looking at Mei's physical engine and enchanting night demon outfit, her dizzy thoughts still changed from "Be careful of the Herrscher" to "Mei is so beautiful and smells so good" - until someone knocked on the door.
"Qiong, what are you afraid of? It's okay if Bronya and the others see us, isn't it?"
Her eyes were clear; she was not the arrogant and conceited Herrscher of Thunder, but the gentle Raiden Mei. Mei gently stroked Sora's cheek, her face beaming with happiness.
"Or is it that you don't like purple clothes and queen outfits? Next time, try a cheongsam, or a bodysuit like Kiana's? Or a white dress..."
Qiong: ...
He felt he couldn't watch or listen any longer, otherwise he would lose control of that ticklish sound.
Unfortunately, his mind hadn't quite cleared up yet, and he couldn't think of anything to say to Mei right now. Wasn't the Raiden Mei so different from usual? Shouldn't Mei usually blush and remain silent when someone else appeared when they were together?
It must be the Herrschers who are behind this!
"Mei-neechan, Sora-nii-gege, open the door!"
"I'm coming!"
Mei smiled faintly, ignoring the dazed look in Sora's eyes and not bothering to straighten her clothes, and went straight to open the door.
The door was gently pulled open, and Seele and Bronya appeared in Qiong's sight.
"Sister Mei, Brother Qiong, what's going on?"
"Brother Qiong?"
"You two, don't look at the bed!"
The moment the door opened, Qiong jumped up and pounced on Mei's bed: there were still things on it that were not suitable for children!
However, he was overthinking it. Bronya, who was floating, didn't even look at Sora; her attention was entirely on Raiden Mei. After entering the room, Bronya tilted her head in surprise for a moment, then returned to normal—that's how calm her expressionless face was.
Besides the heavily armed bunny behind him giving a thumbs up.
If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, Bronya would have loved to grab both of them and send them a Houmu as a gift. Raiden Mei took the initiative; all her hard work had finally paid off!
In contrast, Seele, after being told to stop, obediently avoided eye contact and even covered her eyes with her wiry fingers, deceiving herself.
Bronya, is something the matter?
"It's nothing! Seele was just a little worried that you hadn't come down for too long. Bronya and Seele will be leaving now."
Bronya immediately figured out the reason for Raiden Mei's actions today: There's an old saying in China, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder!" Mei-neechan must have been upset because she hadn't seen Sora-nii for several days and was also provoked by that March 7th incident. This is a good thing, a good thing!
"Seele, let's go."
Since it's a good thing, Bronya and Seele shouldn't be there as third wheels. Bronya planned to pull Seele away, but...
But Seele remained rooted to the spot, completely motionless.
"Seele?"
Bronya was somewhat surprised. What was going on?
No one noticed that Seele's eyes were slightly red.
"Sister Bronya, Seele doesn't want to leave... Seele, Seele..."
As she spoke, Seele walked over to Sora, who was stuffing something into the bottom of Mei's bed, gently tugged at his clothes, and then pressed herself against Sora's waist to take a deep breath.
Mmm...it smells so good, so very good! It would be even better if it didn't smell like Raiden Mei...
"Seele! This is not the place for us!"
Bronya's alarm bells rang. What's wrong with Seele? Why is the usually obedient Seele, Voller, suddenly becoming disobedient?
Ignoring Mei's frozen smile and Bronya's call for her to leave, Seele blinked her pure red eyes and met Sora's gaze.
"Brother Qiong, what are you doing? Can you bring Xier along?"
Mei's face instantly turned red to her ears, it was hard to say whether she was shy or angry—in Bronya's opinion, it was most likely the latter.
"It's nothing, I just chatted with Mei."
"Oh, really?"
Seele noticed that Qiong's eyes were somewhat evasive.
"Brother Qiong, you didn't tell Seele a story yesterday... Sister Bronya only tells the story of Houmu, and Seele is tired of hearing it! Can you tell a story? Can you continue to tell Seele the story of Lanalo and Little Paimon? Or the story of the Big Bad Wolf catching the Little Sheep is fine too, Seele wants to hear it!"
"Um, sorry, Brother Qiong is busy."
"Can Seele stay? Seele is a very good girl!"
“Seele…”
Bronya stared in disbelief at Seele rubbing against Sora. Was this really the Seele she knew? Why did she seem so rebellious, stubborn, and wicked? Wasn't she just deliberately trying to upset Mei and Sora?
Just as Bronya was about to forcibly drag Seele away, Mei spoke first.
"Bronya, Seele can stay if she wants, let's all chat..."
Mei seemed to have made up her mind, and she put on a smile again.
"It's also very good."
Bronya sensed something was seriously wrong.
This isn't just a matter of whether Seele can read the room; this is a complete problem with Seele herself! Think about it: when you chat with Seele, the amount of time spent with Sora almost rivals that spent with the orphanage! When you went to see the headmaster, Seele was overly attentive; and now, Seele has interrupted Sora and Mei's time together, clinging tightly to him with eyes full of dependence (mischievousness) and reluctance (provocation)...
Seele, have you already placed too much importance on Sora?
If that's the case, then compared to her older sister Bronya and her friends from the orphanage, who is more important?
Bronya's heart sank. That's right, after all, it was Qiong who helped Seele escape her misery, while she herself had only done a lot of useless work and bad things in saving people, and even in storytelling, she couldn't compare to Qiong because she was full of Houmu...
Will Seele be taken away by that scoundrel Qiong?
----------------
Because of Seele's outburst, everyone parted on bad terms. Sora didn't even have time to tell Mei that "Kafka" had come and didn't like her—there was no other way but to talk about it tomorrow.
Overall, apart from a hacker lurking in the shadows who was practically laughing his head off, no one was happy.
I'm back!
Sora's old room had been assigned to Seele. Not wanting to spend the night there, Sora naturally returned to Theresa's house.
In the past, Qiong would probably have been hesitant and timid, but after the incident with the Stigmata, Qiong was certain that Theresa wouldn't do anything to her. Plus, with the "Seven Houmu" that she planned to give to Kiana, she was sure she could get through today smoothly.
"Dead gray hair?"
"Oh, Kiana, did you miss me?"
As soon as Qiong stepped inside, he saw Kiana sitting in the living room, scratching her head and doing her homework. He smiled and waved the book "Seven Houmu" in his hand, trying to get Kiana's attention.
Unfortunately, Kiana Kaslana had bigger things to deal with—she was on the verge of a breakdown from all the homework!
Seeing "Seven Houmu" didn't elicit a reaction. But when Kiana saw the character Sora, her eyes lit up.
"Quick! Come help me with my homework! It's driving me crazy!"
