Bronya Wants to Awaken!

Seele was startled at first, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully... it's just Sister Bronya.

Seele was surprisingly calm. As long as Liu Bai didn't find out, things couldn't get too bad.

Besides, even Sister Bronya might not be the only one...

"Seele, confiscate it."

The mere mention of Bronya shattered Seele's mental defenses.

"Sister Bronya!?"

Seele looked at Bronya in disbelief.

She never imagined that her most beloved Sister Bronya would say such heartless words!

"Don't look so desperate." Mei looked at Seele's lifeless face and forced a smile.

"I'll keep it for you first, and then I'll give it back to you when you grow up, Seele."

"Sister Bronya the same age as me!"

Seele didn't buy into it at all, and even Mei sided with Seele.

"I'm sorry, Bronya, I'm half of this."

"I can give half of it to Mei after I confiscate it."

"Alright, please make yourselves at home."

Mei shrugged and casually flipped open another notebook.

"One-third! One-third each for Sister Bronya and Mei!"

Seele looked at Bronya, who had "betrayed" her, and said with tears welling up in her eyes.

... Although the situation was indeed quite strange.

"Okay! But we have to exchange them."

Bronya knew when to stop—after all, Liu Bai really couldn't find out about this.

Bronya then had Project Bunny hold the door, and she sat down as well, the three of them forming a triangle.

"... So what exactly are you looking at Seele?"

As Bronya asked the question, she expressionlessly stuffed the notebook into her clothes.

"It's actually quite interesting, isn't it?"

Mei smiled.

"At first, Seele watched very innocent romance stories, but later on, they gradually became more exciting. I have to say, Seele's taste is quite unique."

Mei gradually began to understand the situation.

The things Seele was watching were getting more and more stimulating, and in the end, even bondage was involved.

Mei also thought it was pretty good.

Mei smiled.

"Waaah..."

(Tsk, isn't there any reverse reasoning?)

Dark Seele, on the other hand, seemed quite dissatisfied. She wasn't the kind of passive, younger sister type! She wanted to take the initiative!

"I'm rather curious what my brother will think if he sees these things."

Bronya said, her face slightly flushed, while glancing at Seele.

Now, Seele's intentions are as clear as day.

Even though Bronya hadn't gotten involved in Mei's affairs, she now White Seele was thinking.

Bronya's gaze made Seele instinctively shrink back.

However, Bronya didn't say anything more and skipped the topic.

—After all, she has never suffered any brain damage in her life, so she has already sensed some things. Of course, no matter what, she doesn't understand as well as Seele does now.

For Bronya and Mei, Seele is already considered an experienced player.

... You really can't judge a book by its cover.

Bronya looked at the images in the notebook that made her face burn and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

At the same time, he subconsciously looked down and squeezed his chest, then glanced at the characters in the notebook.

... They're about the same age, so why is there such a big difference in their appearances?

My brother seems to just like big things...

"Cough cough."

Mei coughed twice, signaling Bronya to watch her movements. Was it really appropriate to do something like that?

No matter what, please don't push!

"... This is truly an excessive artistic embellishment."

Bronya, realizing what was happening, lowered her hand and said calmly.

... Then Bronya glanced at Seele and Mei.

"..."

Is it really just artistic embellishment?

Bronya looked down at herself again.

I've decided, I'll drink an extra glass of milk every day from now on.

"I've finished choosing."

Mei, sensing that the atmosphere was slightly off, spoke first.

Seele glanced at the worn and creased notebooks beside Mei and realized that Mei had chosen the ones she liked... well, the more exciting ones.

(Mei- neechan is quite the opposite of what you'd expect...)

While feeling sorry for her, Seele thought rather strangely that Mei- san probably preferred pure love stories... Could it be that she had awakened some kind of fetish?

—But in this respect, I might have something in common with Mei?

But why did things turn out this way?

Seele glanced sadly at Bronya and Mei.

The whole thing started... just because I wanted to ask Mei- neechan how to grow bigger.

Why did things turn out this way?

Chapter 162 Bronya Wants to Awaken!

"Yes, keep it like this... How about it, Mei, can you control it a little more precisely?"

"I'll give it a try..."

On the training field, under Reanna's command, Mei Honkai Energy and the tangled threads in front of her.

Under Mei's precise manipulation, the fine, hair-like threads were quickly woven into a small female doll.

"As expected, Mei, you have a real talent for this." Looking at the scene before her, Reanna nodded in praise, "You've only been learning for a month, but your control over Honkai Energy has surpassed Bronya's."

Reanna sized up Mei. She truly lived up to her reputation as a born Stigmata user; she was indeed a prodigy, and possessed remarkable mental fortitude.

That is...

"Mei, what is this doll of yours?"

Reanna looked at the doll in front of her, woven from silk threads, with a somewhat strange expression.

Although this question might make her seem a bit old-fashioned, there's something she really needs to say.

"Huh? N-nothing, it's just a regular doll."

Mei pretended not to understand and replied.

"What's wrong with Aunt Reanna?"

"What... no, never mind, it's alright."

Upon hearing the word "aunt," Reanna twitched the corners of her mouth, and couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.

Am I really falling behind the times?

But this doll... although the threads are all the same color and it doesn't exactly evoke any desire, it can't hide the fact that it's a scantily clad woman, can it?

Why Mei have such an ordinary expression on her face?

Reanna felt that the changes in society over the past fifty years were greater than those over the previous two hundred years... Could she really be left behind by the times?

Even a well-behaved girl like Mei is so knowledgeable now?

No, that's not entirely true. In my time, ordinary girls would have been married long ago by now.

So... is this puberty?

"Is there anything else, Aunt Reanna?"

Mei very uncomfortable under Reanna's gaze.

She couldn't very well say that she'd been obsessed with those notebooks lately...

I was so focused on controlling Honkai Energy that I unconsciously created this thing...

No, I need to watch less these next few days... If I keep watching, I might end up creating something even more "amazing" next time I train myself.

(Thankfully, Dad and Brother Liu Bai aren't here...)

If these two people see this, then it will be really hard to explain.

Mei sighed inwardly, but couldn't help feeling a little curious.

In the month since she began her Honkai Energy training, she has hardly seen her father or Liu Bai.

The latter is manageable, but the fact that her father hadn't appeared in front of her for a month was undoubtedly a big deal.

In addition, the Honkai Energy manipulation training I've been undergoing these past few days... is it related to me?

Mei was a clever girl, and she immediately made a deduction in her mind about the current situation.

"It's nothing."

Reanna shook her head as she thought to herself.

"Take care of yourself these days. You might need to participate in an experiment in a couple of days."

"An experiment?"

Mei was slightly taken aback, then nodded, showing no surprise at being suddenly notified to participate in the experiment.

"May I ask what kind of experiment it is?"

"It's hard to say, and maybe you won't even need to participate."

Reanna shook her head. Whether Liu Bai's experiment could be completed was still uncertain. Mei could only conduct the experiment after Liu Bai's side completed the shipment.

"But don't worry, I can't guarantee anything else, but the safety of the experiment can be guaranteed."

"Yes, I believe that too. Dad, Aunt Edison, and Brother Alliance Leader would never harm me."

Mei nodded with a smile.

"I always felt it was really strange that you called the Alliance Leader 'brother'..."

Reanna couldn't help but complain that Mei called her "Auntie" when she and Edison were both called "Auntie," but only Liu Bai, who was probably older than them, was called "Brother"—what kind of reason was that?

Her appearance was frozen at twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and Edison was frozen at twenty-two or twenty-three.

Doesn't he look similar to the Alliance Leader?

"It's just a habit..."
