You Have a New Job (Continued)
"Tianwen?"
"She was a child who joined the orphanage later, and she was much smarter than Rosaliya and Liliya. Her face was about this big, with dark gray hair, big eyes, and fair skin. It's a pity I didn't bring a photo with me."
Ninti gestured, describing Chen Tianwen's appearance in a childlike, simple way, before finally lowering her head in self-reproach and disappointment.
Seele's heart softened, and the distance and sense of estrangement completely melted away at that moment. So she reached out and gently stroked her sister's hair.
"I see. Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease. By the way, what about Elizabeth and the others?"
"... They've all left."
"How so!?"
"Because of the Honkai Sickness. The X-10 experiment had limited success, barely protecting Rosaliya and Liliya —but now Mom has developed a real cure for the Honkai Sickness, and everyone has recovered."
Ninti looked at Seele with concern in her eyes.
Seele's eyes glazed over for a moment, she bit her lip, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Ninti thought for a moment, then got up, went to Seele's side, and gently nestled into her arms.
"Ninti ...I thought, I thought they were still here... Waaah..."
Seele could no longer resist her younger sister and hugged her tightly, finally bursting into tears.
