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

Black Seele subconsciously blurted out what was deep in her heart, but thankfully, she still managed to react.

"No way!"

"Mommy Black Seele... I'm sorry..."

"Rosia's" gaze softened, and she pursed her lips, looking wronged.

At this moment, a damned sense of guilt began to attack Black Seele's heart.

"I... I..."

Black Seele was now somewhat at a loss, as she could no longer understand what kind of personality the "Rosia" in front of her had.

"Rosia knows, Mommy Black Seele loves Mommy Seele the most, it's okay..."

"Rosia" tilted her little head, showing a smile that was forced despite her sadness.

"You're making Mommy Black Seele uncomfortable... I'm sorry..."

If she could have directly refuted "Rosia's" words just now, then the current triple apology had completely broken through Black Seele's defenses.

Looking at the cute girl with her head bowed, Black Seele wished she could slap herself twice...

"There, there, I... I was wrong... A hug will make it better..."

After a period of internal struggle, Black Seele finally relented and extended her hands to her.

"R-really?"

"Rosia" showed an expression of being flattered, then transformed into the sweet smile of a little beast hiding at home, seeing its mother return.

"Yes, really."

Black Seele took a step forward and hugged her. The moment they touched, it was a soft and warm body, but the next moment, a chilling aura began to emerge.

"Rosia" raised her head, and her wine-red eyes turned a more distinct crimson.

"You really dare, huh?"

"Hug you **! (Estonian curse word)"

Black Seele: "..."

(Huddled in the corner, mentally collapsed)

Chapter Twenty: Black Seele: Rosia... I will find you!

"Where did she go?"

In the morning, she wandered around the academy with Kiana and the others. Although everyone had fun together, Rosia hadn't heard "Rosia's" usual complaints for a long time.

"Is she in Stigmata Space?"

She searched everywhere. Under normal circumstances, only she could see and touch "Rosia," and "Rosia" couldn't be too far from her.

After searching, she finally concluded that "Rosia" had most likely returned to Stigmata Space.

"Alright, I hope she's not angry."

Rosia was worried that she had somehow upset her again.

Although "Rosia" always said Rosia was sensitive, Rosia actually felt that she was also very sensitive.

It's just that when Rosia is sensitive and sad, she shows it, while "Rosia" doesn't. She just keeps it in with a cold face, and only truly gets angry when she can't hold it in anymore.

Rosia wished she could enter Stigmata Space like when she was unconscious, but obviously, she couldn't. As long as "Rosia" didn't want her to enter, she couldn't get in no matter what.

The scenery in Stigmata Space was generally generated by "Rosia's" subconscious, so Rosia actually wanted to observe more about what she liked.

"Why aren't you talking anymore?"

"Rosia" looked at the girl squatting in the corner with a ashen face, looking confused.

This time, Black Seele cast a pitiful glance at her, then lowered her head and continued to draw circles on the ground.

Black Seele's current mood was like happily sliding down a slide, only to find that the end point was a mud pit.

Then, someone told her that the mud pit was actually made of chocolate, and she foolishly licked it...

Where did the trust between people go?

Although Black Seele was more mature than Seele, she was still quite young during this period, having not experienced much growth, and was relatively naive.

But that wasn't important.

What was important was that Black Seele didn't know the true personality of the "Rosia" in front of her.

Although her intuition told her that "Rosia" was just a child with a bad personality, Black Seele had a delusion that she might be a good child, a well-behaved child, a cute child...

If she could stick to her intuition, perhaps Black Seele wouldn't be feeling so terrible right now.

But she was increasingly believing her feelings...

After all, no matter how you looked at it, "Rosia's" expression and eyes just now didn't seem fake. Could she really have a split personality?

What Black Seele didn't know was that she was already trying to convince herself by overthinking.

"This... this won't scare her, will it?"

"Rosia" thought to herself, a bit slow on the uptake.

Black Seele was currently crouched in a corner, muttering something unintelligible to herself. She'd glance at "Rosia" from time to time before immediately lowering her head.

"She shouldn't be that fragile..."

"Rosia" was utterly baffled.

Logically, Black Seele, having been tricked by her twice now, should be showing a particularly angry attitude and expression. Why was she just sulking silently?

With you acting like this, "Rosia" was actually becoming a bit flustered.

No matter what, Black Seele was, in a way, her mother. Teasing her like this was a bit much, but it seemed like there was no going back now.

It was impossible for "Rosia" to actually apologize. After all, Black Seele wasn't just moved by the Rosia she was playing; it felt like she was on the verge of being completely captivated.

Could she even want a mother like this?

Even though that was the case, it seemed necessary to appease Black Seele right now.

If she truly shut down, Seele would be in trouble alone in the Sea of Quanta.

"Rosia" really didn't want to see Rosia crying after learning that Seele had died in the Sea of Quanta.

"What should I do..."

Black Seele and "Rosia" resumed their silent understanding and brewing.

"Um... Mama Black Seele..."

"Rosia" tried her best to soften her voice. However, upon hearing her voice, Black Seele flinched and took half a step back like a startled rabbit.

"..."

Black Seele's reaction caused "Rosia's" expression to freeze slightly, but she still had to continue the act.

"I'm sorry... I really didn't mean to... I, I..."

"Rosia" bit her lip, trying hard to look anxious.

She genuinely had no idea what words to use.

"Rosia, are... are you okay?"

To her surprise, Black Seele, judging by her expression, not only seemed fine herself but was actually concerned about her.

"I'm fine... just a little..."

Although she had no idea what was going on, "Rosia" followed Black Seele's lead.

"I understand..."

Black Seele stood up, steadying her thoughts.

"Huh?"

Even while maintaining her facade, "Rosia" was once again bewildered.

Understand what?

"Mhm, mhm."

"Rosia" continued to put on a hesitant yet pitiable expression.

Don't ask her how she learned it. Rosia basically wore these expressions every day, and "Rosia" had watched them intently each time.

Seeing Black Seele reach out to pat her head again, "Rosia" tilted her head slightly, then put on a happy smile. However, the hand behind her back was already starting to stir.

"It's okay, I'll..."

Before Black Seele could finish speaking, the quantum energy that had been maintaining the two Stigmata Spaces began to dissipate at a visible rate.

"Hey, take this!"

Sensing the abnormality, "Rosia" dropped the act entirely and simply transferred control of one of her scarlet giant claws to Black Seele.

Seeing "Rosia's" sudden change, a clear look of disappointment flashed in Black Seele's eyes.

"I'm sorry, Mom didn't..."

This time, Black Seele was directly interrupted by "Rosia."

"Are you still in character? I call you 'Mom' out of respect. Hurry up and go back, the edge of the Stigmata Space is dangerous right now!"

"Rosia" was speechless. What was going on? Did you actually start believing it while pretending?

Although "Rosia's" words were harsh, Black Seele could clearly sense the concern in them.

"Next time, next time, I'll make it up to you."

Black Seele's eyes sparkled as she met "Rosia's" gaze.

Black Seele saw concern and worry in "Rosia's" eyes, while "Rosia" saw a dangerous (yandere) glint in Black Seele's.

Once the connection was completely severed, Rosia returned to her own side.

"I went too far..."

"Rosia" gently shook her head.

Well, that's just great. Teasing Mother completely brought out her yandere side.

"You're back?"

When "Rosia" reappeared before Rosia that afternoon, Rosia greeted her with a very happy smile.

"Did something happen?"

Seeing the rather complicated expression on "Rosia's" face, Rosia asked, a little confused.

"I met your Black Seele mother."

"Rosia" didn't try to hide it, stating it very directly.

"Really?!"

Rosia was a little surprised.

"Did Black Seele mother say anything?"

Although Rosia didn't know how "Rosia" managed it, she trusted her.

Looking at Rosia, whose hair was practically standing on end, "Rosia" decided to only reveal part of the truth, figuring the rest could wait.

"She said she likes you very much..."
