Herrscher of Rebirth: I Don't Want to Get Spanked! (Continued)

Sure enough, the lights in the Hearth Home came on the next second, and people began to emerge from their rooms, rubbing their sleepy eyes.

Seeing the situation was dire, Dark Seele immediately made the War Scythe in her hand disappear and released it from Xing Malt's restraints. She even managed to summon Seele back from the mental space.

"Huh? My other self, who exactly are you...?"

"Crybaby, it's your turn now. Figure out a way to get through this!"

"Wait, wait! How could this be!"

Seele was completely flustered and said she couldn't do it. She had just been crying and withdrawing in her mental space when she was suddenly kicked out of Isozupashu by the troublesome Dark Seele.

That's ridiculous! They do bad things and then run away, abandoning themselves to the authorities.

Seele wanted to discuss it with her other self, but it was too late. The Hearth Home was brightly lit, and everyone had gathered around to look at them.

"Uh, what happened?"

"Huh~ Who was yelling so late at night?"

"Huh? What happened to Seele and Anne? Why is Malt lying on the ground crying?"

"Seele, are you alright?"

The girls in the Hearth Home were confused.

I wondered if the two of them had another argument.

But normally, Seele should be sitting on the ground crying, so why is it the other way around this time?

Although the situation on the scene was already quite clear, no one considered the possibility that 'Seele made Xing cry,' after all, the former was so kind, innocent, and afraid of violence, she was practically an angel.

But then they immediately remembered Seele's unusual behavior today, and suddenly they were uncertain again.

"Evil, demon, Seele, demon..."

"My whole body is convulsing," Apricot Malt murmured.

"Seele, tell me what happened." Bai Ge sighed and looked at Seele helplessly.

"Bai Ge Dad, I, I actually, this..."

In the end, Seele still managed to say something that was a sharp retort.

They all said they were going to argue.

The other self/ Dark Seele's story, the hurt to Anne Malt, and the fact that Black Seele is now occupying the body.

There was nothing she could do; she wasn't a girl who was good at lying.

Not to mention when facing Bai Ge.

Seele will only ever speak the truth.

This infuriated Dark Seele in the mental space, who covered her face and cursed her for being useless, unable to even tell a lie. She wished she had done it herself, but it was too late to think about it now.

Blackie had no choice but to show herself.

"Just like this crybaby said, I did it, and it has nothing to do with Seele."

"..."

To the astonishment of the girls in the Hearth Home, the gentle and meek White Seele disappeared, while the proud and confident Dark Seele appeared. These two distinct personalities were a revelation to them.

If this is Seele's acting skill, then this girl will definitely be a future Best Actress winner with several Oscars.

Bai Ge walked up to Hei Xi with a blank expression, then raised his palm. This action made Dark Seele instinctively frown and close her eyes. She was not afraid of anyone in the Hearth Home, but Bai Ge, as her father, was different.

But the expected pain of being slapped did not come.

Thump!

Bai Ge simply delivered a light chop to her head, revealing a helpless expression.

"You went a bit too far this time, Seele. I think it's fine to teach Ann a lesson a little, but there's a limit. As a fellow member of the Hearth Home, how could you scare your important family member (BBFE) like this?"

He examined Anne Malt's physical condition and found that her cells had only been overly frightened and were not actually injured.

Seele's Stigmata record the memories of the Previous Civilization's Herrscher of Death, which is why she is able to use certain powers, although this power is clearly hundreds of times weaker than that of a true Herrscher.

At the same time, Dark Seele also covered her head and took a few steps back in shock, thinking that it was going to be an even more painful punishment.

"What are you talking about? I'm different from these people. I wasn't picked up by you. I awakened my Stigmata consciousness amidst negative emotions. I'm an extreme negative personality like a crybaby. I'm not a member of your Hearth Home."

"Hmm? Is that how you see yourself?"

That's how it is!

"Is that so, Seele... I'll just call you Dark Seele for now. I think a person can't define themselves entirely based on their birth. As for what kind of existence you are, there's a simpler answer in my eyes."

Bai Ge crossed his arms and said in a serious tone.

"... What answer?"

Hei Xi took a deep breath and stared straight into Bai Ge's eyes. Given her personality, she couldn't possibly care about what others thought of her, except for Bai Ge, who was extremely special and important to both Dark Seele and White Seele.

Bai Ge smiled slightly and pointed to the Vodka Girls from the Hearth Home, who was also present at the scene.

"In my eyes, you and Seele are like twin sisters. Although you are essentially the same person, you are also two different consciousnesses. But no matter what, you are both Seele."

"In that case, she is my daughter, a member of the Hearth Home. By the way, everyone has already accepted you today, haven't they? I'm very happy to have a new member join our family."

Bai Ge's words surprised both of Seele's.

"What? You... you found me?"

"Hehe, you don't think you've hidden it well, do you? I'm your father, how could I ignore such obvious changes in you? You like spicy food, you don't like reading, and, well, you're a bit violent and have strong personalities. Today was a lot of fun thanks to you."

Bai Ge said with a hint of smugness.

"..."

The two Seele, who thought they had hidden themselves well, were suddenly speechless. Thinking about what Bai Ge had done so far, they suddenly felt that it was only natural that they had been discovered.

Even without saying anything, their dear father would prepare their favorite gift for each of them, just like when Seele longed for the sea, and Bai Ge, realizing this, immediately arranged a trip to the beach.

While Dark Seele was stunned, Bai Ge raised his hand and patted her head, his evaluation of her was no different from White Seele's... except that his eyes were like those of a little wildcat who had just been petted.

"What a consciousness originates from does not determine its entirety. The reason you punished Xing is probably because she occasionally bullies Seele."

"Hmph, who knows?"

"Well, their personalities are really completely opposite."

Bai Ge couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. Seeing Seele putting on such a proud and aloof look was really quite a novel experience.

He certainly didn't feel disgusted or angry, after all, what bad intentions could Hei hope possibly have?

All she wanted to do was protect Bai hope, the most important person in her life.

"Dark Seele, I believe that your nature is not just malicious, and I really want to accept you as a member/family member of the Hearth Home, but it seems that you yourself are not willing to do so. Is it just wishful thinking on my part?"

"I, this, no, uh..."

Upon hearing this, Hei hope was speechless.

In the mental space, Bai Xi was anxious. "My other self, how could you let Bai Ge Dad look so disappointed? No, I need to think of a solution quickly!"

Bai Ge wouldn't force anyone to join the Hearth Home. Even with Bronya back then, he simply extended an invitation and let Bronya make her own choice.

"I didn't say I wouldn't agree..." (whispering)

"Hmm? Seele, did you say something?"

"Uh, cough cough! Although I'm not very interested in this Hearth Home, since you're trying so hard to persuade Seele to stay, it's not impossible for me to join."

(Ah~ what a textbook example of tsundere xN)

Everyone immediately started to feel a mix of emotions and complaints.

Bai Ge smiled happily. Since all the empty rooms in his house were filled with people, he had not adopted any more children, so it had been a while since any new people had joined the Hearth Home.

Now that a new person has joined, and it's Dark Seele who has joined, how could he not be happy?

"Great, welcome to the Hearth Home, another Seele. It's a pity it's so late now, but we can have a long-awaited welcome party for new members tomorrow."

"Is it necessary? But since you insist on holding it, I'll reluctantly participate."

"Haha~ I'll make a few more spicy dishes tomorrow."

"Really? That's good."

Just thinking about the spicy potato pancakes and Mapo tofu she had eaten during the day made Dark Seele's eyes light up with anticipation.

However, her joy was short-lived.

"I'm glad you're happy, because it makes me happy too. But we'll talk about tomorrow tomorrow. It's time for punishment, Dark Seele."

"...What?"

Hei hope's brain went blank for a moment.

Before she could react, Bai Ge had already wrapped her around his waist, head facing backward and buttocks facing forward.

This refers to the posture of the Anse waist drum.

"Wait, wait a minute! What do you want to do!"

"As I've already said, we're going to give the naughty Dark Seele some punishment. As your father from the Hearth Home, I, Bai Ge Dad, am always fair, just and transparent. Bad kids who make mistakes must be properly disciplined."
