Collapse, I became Duck's daughter at the start?

Rosia was practically identical to her ideal daughter, perhaps even more outstanding.

Bronya had been analyzing things these past two days. Cocolia lacked the technology, and besides, doing so would be utterly meaningless.

From the moment Rosia instantly killed three Honkai Emperors, it was clear that if such natural Stigmata awakeners could be stably produced, what would Schicksal have to fear?

They would have turned the tables and attacked long ago.

Although Schicksal wasn't exactly a good entity either, Bronya viewed many of Cocolia's actions as pointless troublemaking.

"Perhaps it truly is a gift from the heavens,"

Gently pulling the blanket up, Bronya closed her eyes, thinking this in her heart.

"This little dummy, is she developing so well?"

"Rosia" on the balcony sighed slightly.

Genetically speaking, she had undoubtedly inherited Seele's development in the early stages, and if she could later gain Bronya's potential, her future would be immeasurable.

"Dual consciousness..."

"It has its pros and cons, I suppose."

Dual consciousness was fundamentally a form of consciousness differentiation caused by mental and Stigmata-related reasons.

In the short term, there were no issues, but currently, "Rosia" could only barely reach the level of a pseudo-Herrscher, even when pushing herself to the limit.

Rosia's potential wasn't low; if she were given seven or eight years to grow, her future would indeed be promising.

But where would she find so much time?

At most, from now until Kevin emerges from the Sea of Quanta, there were only three to four years.

Honestly, in four years, going from a level below even three B-rank Valkyries to the Finality Herrscher, Origin Herrscher, Truth Herrscher...

"Rosia" truly couldn't imagine how she would catch up to them.

She couldn't possibly just snatch the Gem of Death Herrscher from Schicksal and fuse with it, could she?

Such a dangerous idea was something she dismissed without even thinking.

"That Raiden Mei..."

"Rosia" had been observing everything these past two days. Bronya, perhaps due to her identity, never suspected anything strange about Rosia.

Kiana, on the other hand, had intentions as clear as day; she was always coming to Rosia's place to mooch off her. Even an idiot could see her thoughts.

Only Raiden Mei... "Rosia" was a bit uncertain.

Judging by her daily behavior, she was often clearly restrained, but her eyes couldn't hide anything.

"Rosia" wasn't afraid of someone like Kiana; she could always push her away like kicking a ball. But someone like Raiden Mei, a hidden yandere, was harder to deal with.

"This little dummy always makes me worry."

"Rosia" stomped her foot.

On one hand, she easily got stuck in a rut, and on the other, her CPU tended to overheat when multitasking.

Yet, she was also prone to overthinking everything.

"So annoying, I don't want to think anymore!"

"Good morning, Mei-sister, is Kiana-sister still not up?"

In the early morning, Rosia looked at the purple-black haired girl with some confusion.

"Mhm, Kiana got accidentally injured yesterday and refused to get up today, no matter what. What about Bronya?"

Raiden Mei said with some helplessness.

Yesterday, Kiana seemed to have been stunned by electricity, remaining dazed. When Mei went to wake her just now, she was still lying there like a corpse.

"Bronya-mama didn't seem to rest well last night. Today is the weekend, so I thought I'd wake her up later."

Rosia nodded her little head.

"Is that so..."

Hearing this, Raiden Mei, who was cooking, her eyes flickered slightly.

"Then let's wait for them."

Raiden Mei said with a smile.

"Rosia, your hair looks a bit messy. Come sit here, I'll help you tidy it."

Sitting on the sofa, Raiden Mei beckoned her over.

"Okay."

Rosia didn't think much of it and gently sat on Mei's lap.

"How do you feel about the academy, Rosia?"

In reality, Rosia's hair was very healthy, and her smooth short hair didn't tangle easily. However, Raiden Mei pretended to comb through her strands one by one.

"Mhm, the Valkyrie sisters are all very kind. Especially you, Mei-sister, your cooking is truly delicious."

Rosia said naturally.

"Is that so? That's good. If you encounter any difficulties, you can always come to me."

Rosia sat on her lap. Raiden Mei could clearly feel the girl's softness and that special aura.

This girl, she says all the right things, but her eyes look off.

"Rosia" sat opposite them, looking at Raiden Mei with a hint of envy.

"Okay."

Rosia replied obediently.

"Mmm..."

While Raiden Mei tidied Rosia's hair, she showed no outward reaction. However, inside, she was constantly arguing with the Herrscher of Thunder.

Due to the Herrscher of Thunder's influence, she had a strong urge to mess up Rosia's hair.

Don't deceive yourself. You clearly want to bite this child too...

Let me guess, what are you thinking right now? You want to mark this child with your scent and declare ownership, don't you?

The Herrscher of Thunder's words made Raiden Mei furious.

"Shut up!"

"Why not? Raiden Mei, no one is here right now. If you give her a kiss, or even a gentle nibble, no one will notice. This child is so well-behaved, would she care about such things?"

"..."

Raiden Mei fell silent, then swallowed.

To be honest, she was indeed a little tempted.

It was normal for a girl to have a few strange thoughts occasionally, but with the Herrscher of Thunder constantly nagging beside her, the influence was quite significant.

"Alright."

Although Raiden Mei was slow, it didn't take much time in total.

"Thank you, Mei-sister."

Rosia said happily.

"...Um..."

Raiden Mei looked at Rosia's profile, and finally couldn't resist leaning in and kissing her cute little face.

Click...

Rosia could clearly hear the sound coming from beside her, but Raiden Mei couldn't.

At this moment, Raiden Mei felt an indescribable thrill, causing a slight blush to rise on her face.

"I... I'll go wake Kiana and Bronya up."

Raiden Mei looked at Rosia, who showed no reaction, and a sense of guilt began to spread in her heart.

"That's weird."

Rosia tilted her head, not quite understanding, as she watched Raiden Mei flee in a fluster.

"Idiot! Why did you let her kiss you?!"

"Rosia" was very confused as to why she was so indifferent.

"Because it's Mei-sister. If Mei-sister kisses me, it means she likes me a lot."

Rosia said, a little bewildered.

"She!! She..."

"Rosia" began to stammer.

"Don't get so worked up..."

"I'm worked up?!?"

"Rosia" gritted her teeth.

Just moments ago, they were hugging and cuddling, and now she was kissing.

"Do you think that's her liking you?!"

Chapter Sixteen: "Rosia": How Could I Possibly Cry?

"Don't get so worked up..."

Rosia looked somewhat helplessly at "Rosia," who was about to jump up.

"Idiot, you might be fooled by these little tricks, but I won't be."

"Rosia" snorted coldly.

If Raiden Mei had just kissed her innocently, then it would have been one thing.

Why are you blushing?

I've been wary of this yandere for a while, I didn't expect her to make a move so quickly.

She's still just a child!

"Don't always let your guard down."

"Rosia" said, sounding a little dejected.

"I'll be more careful next time."

Rosia smiled.

She'd been mooching off Mei's meals these past two days, and Mei had even helped her with her hair, so a kiss on the cheek wasn't really anything.

"Hmph."

"Rosia" looked at Rosia, who still seemed unfazed, and knew this idiot hadn't taken anything to heart.

Well, the Herrscher of Food is quite likable at the moment.

But one day, she would tear away Raiden Mei's false facade.

"Good morning, Rosia. Sorry, I'm really sleepy today."

Bronya emerged from her room, stretching as she spoke.
