How Annoying!

She had the overwhelming urge to pin her down on the bed and knock her head hard. Her entire body itched as if ants were crawling all over her.

Even "Rosia," who had been watching her the whole time, felt terribly uncomfortable, while Raiden Mei, who was in direct contact with her, froze outright.

"Th-This... what is this feeling...?"

Raiden Mei could clearly feel her heartbeat quicken, while her blood surged through her veins.

Although Kiana's blunt words often troubled her, Mei still believed her sexual orientation was perfectly normal. Kiana was just joking around with her, after all.

She had always been skeptical of love at first sight.

No matter what kind of feelings they were, they had to be born from a long period of accumulated affection.

But now, the hormones in her body were telling her that the child before her carried a sweet scent like honey.

What followed was an intense possessive desire.

Several flashes of light inadvertently passed through Raiden Mei's violet eyes.

"She should be mine."

Raiden Mei instinctively found herself thinking that.

"Mei?"

Rosia tilted her little head at the dazed Raiden Mei in confusion.

Actually, considering their seniority, she should have called Mei "Auntie," but Rosia felt Raiden Mei probably would not like that form of address.

"N-No, it's nothing."

Raiden Mei turned her head away and could not help touching the tip of her warming nose.

I want to make her cry...

For some reason, although Raiden Mei felt an immense fondness for her, the thought that slipped into her mind even frightened her.

At that moment, she felt that perhaps there was no need to be so rigid about sexual orientation. Everyone could relax their standards for themselves a little.

"No, no, it's just my imagination."

Thinking that, Raiden Mei hurriedly corrected herself.

It was only because Rosia was too cute. She was still normal...

Raiden Mei comforted herself inwardly.

"Heh..."

Seeing Raiden Mei looking like a young girl experiencing her first stirrings of love, "Rosia" curled her lip.

"These women really are all the same. They're just lusting after my Rosia's body."

Though she could not help wiping her own nose, "Rosia" looked down on Raiden Mei's bashful expression with disdain.

"Wait..."

"Rosia," who had initially thought rather well of Raiden Mei, suddenly remembered that there was also a low-profile Herrscher of Thunder within her.

"This is bad. She's a potential yandere too. I need to keep her away from my Rosia."

A crimson glint flashed through "Rosia's" eyes.

"Go to sleep."

Raiden Mei switched off the lights. Though her heart was in turmoil, it should be better if she could not see anything.

"Mm."

Rosia did not feel anything unusual. She normally pulled up the blanket, closed her eyes, and prepared to sleep.

With her current body, this was the perfect time to sleep.

Before long, her breathing steadied.

Raiden Mei, sleeping beside her, did not have it so easy. Even though she lay on her side with her back to Rosia, her heartbeat only grew faster.

After hearing Rosia's breathing settle, Raiden Mei gritted her teeth and carefully turned over.

Although the lights were off, the faint glow spilling in from the balcony still allowed her to see the girl's delicate face clearly.

With her eyes closed, Rosia no longer had that especially obvious allure from before, but she instead made people even more restless.

"I-I'll just hug her once."

After an intense internal struggle, Raiden Mei finally persuaded herself.

She gently wrapped an arm around the girl.

Though her movements were slight, the sleeping girl still let out a soft hum.

"..."

At that point, Raiden Mei simply stopped pretending and pulled her directly into her arms.

After hugging Rosia, a sense of peace instantly washed over her. Her warm, soft body made Raiden Mei unable to resist hugging her a little tighter.

Fortunately, despite the somewhat larger movement, the girl in her arms still showed no reaction. Only, at some point, Rosia's blue-black gradient hair gradually turned red and black.

However, because it was nighttime, Raiden Mei only glanced at it and did not pay much attention.

The girl in her arms, meanwhile, opened her red eyes.

"Idiot. Moving around so much will wake her up."

### Truly Annoying!

"Good morning, Mei."

The first thing Raiden Mei saw that morning was the little cutie swaying her head, and she felt an indescribable sense of delight.

"Morning, Rosia. You're up so early?"

Raiden Mei instinctively wanted to reach out and grab her, but she held herself back.

She had not slept so peacefully in a long time, though she had been a little restless before bed...

She could somewhat understand why Kiana loved getting handsy whenever they slept together...

They were both girls, but the understanding between girls and girls was different.

"Hehe..."

Seeing Raiden Mei's reluctant expression, "Rosia" was extremely displeased off to the side.

That girl had held Rosia especially tightly last night, practically stuffing her into her chest. Worst of all, the arm holding her kept shifting positions.

"Rosia" dismissed such lustful little tricks with utter disdain.

You dared to lay your hands on her on the first day you met? What would happen in the future, then?

To ensure Rosia could sleep well, and incidentally keep watch on Raiden Mei, "Rosia" chose to take over her body until Raiden Mei fell asleep before resting herself.

Fortunately, her hand had only stayed outside Rosia's pajamas.

"I'll go make breakfast. Rosia, you can go wake Kiana and Bronya first."

Though somewhat reluctant to part with her, Raiden Mei still had her own task to handle.

"Okay."

After getting dressed, Rosia poked her little head into Bronya's room.

Bronya's door was unlocked, so Rosia knocked on it.

"Knock, knock..."

The knocking was very soft, but Bronya still heard it.

"Mei... I'm getting up..."

Bronya answered weakly.

There had been a little too much information yesterday, so she could only distract herself with something else. Then she ended up gaming until the middle of the night.

"Mother Bronya?"

Hearing Bronya's response, Rosia thought for a moment before opening the door and poking her head inside.

"Ro-Rosia... Y-You... wait, let me change first..."

The moment she heard Rosia's voice, Bronya immediately woke up. She sprang out of bed and wanted to tidy up the room.

Though she normally loved cleanliness, after gaming all night, the room was inevitably somewhat messy. Combined with her expression after staying up late, she did not look particularly presentable.

Being a mother for the first time, Bronya was honestly very nervous.

"I'll help you clean up, Mother Bronya."

Seeing the somewhat messy room, Rosia lightly walked over to help.

"I..."

Looking at the well-behaved blue-haired girl, Bronya suddenly felt that she was a little unqualified.

Under normal circumstances, should she not be the one waking Rosia, helping her organize her things, and getting her dressed?

Watching Rosia's back as she seriously helped tidy up, Bronya had the urge to pinch herself.

Why was I even gaming...

"Ahem... how did you sleep last night?"

To hide her embarrassment, Bronya could only try to make conversation.

"Mei was very nice. Very gentle."

Rosia answered after thinking for a moment.

Although she had memories of them, those memories were limited to the game. Rosia now hoped to get to know them from her own perspective, and "Rosia" felt the same way.

It was just that "Rosia" had been dismissive of everyone from beginning to end.

"That's good. If I'm not around, you can go to Mei if you need anything. Remember, stay away from Kiana."

Bronya nodded.

Kiana was always enthusiastic about things she liked, such as Mei and games.

Even if she kept losing, she would pester Bronya to keep playing until dawn.

Why did they play until dawn? Because she had not won a single round.

Then Kiana and Bronya would both spend the entire day dozing off.

But the difference was that Bronya could get the highest score in every academic subject, while Kiana failed every single one.

"Okay, Mother Bronya."

Rosia met Bronya's eyes and seriously nodded her little head.

"Good girl."

Bronya looked at the young girl and stroked her head, feeling somewhat dazed.

She had once wondered what it would be like if she had a child someday, but she had never imagined that she and Seele would have one...

It felt dreamlike, yet it also made Bronya a little happy.

One day, she would find Seele. When that time came, the three of them...

"What a bunch of idiots."

Seeing Bronya start zoning out and daydreaming every now and then after being with Rosia for barely any time, "Rosia" complained speechlessly.

Why did every one of them love daydreaming so much?

"Rosia" did not need to think to know what they were imagining.

"That talent really is an annoying thing."

Leaning against the wall and watching Bronya hold Rosia's hand, "Rosia" muttered to herself.
