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

"You're just attracted by that talent, don't flatter yourselves."

The buff was specifically targeting the same gender, and St. Freya Academy was hardly lacking in Valkyries. One could imagine how popular Rosia would be from now on.

"This little idiot, she's going to be taken advantage of so much."

"Rosia" didn't actually hate the situation; it was just that Rosia's current thoughts were too simple.

With memories of the plot, everyone else was thinking about how to get stronger, how to survive, and worrying about the future.

But this idiot came to find her mother...

Judging from Rosia's previous behavior, she wasn't stupid and knew what to say and what not to say. However, she now viewed the world with far too much optimism.

Moreover, she had a childlike mindset that took things for granted, coupled with her timid personality, she should have been severely lacking in a sense of security...

"Is this idiot trying to find Bronya because she lacks a sense of security?"

Upon realizing this, "Rosia" froze.

Compared to Rosia's innocence, she could clearly feel that she had become more suspicious than before, tending to approach many things with a negative attitude first.

In her opinion, this wasn't a bad thing, but now, regardless of whether Rosia actually felt that way, "Rosia" had begun to doubt herself.

"Did I fail to give her a sense of security?"

As this thought formed in "Rosia's" mind, she couldn't help but fall into a positive feedback loop.

At the same time, she fell silent.

During breakfast, Rosia, accustomed to "Rosia" chattering beside her, was surprised to find that "Rosia" had been standing on the balcony for a while, lost in thought.

"Rosia, this is delicious. Mei makes the best!"

"Thank you, Kiana-nee."

Faced with Kiana's enthusiasm, Rosia could only set it aside for now.

"Rosia" on the balcony glanced back at her and murmured.

"Maybe I was wrong?"

Judging from their current situation, Rosia would live very well, and they would take good care of her. If things had gone according to her own thoughts, Rosia might still be sleeping on the streets...

"Rosia's" hand gripping the railing gradually tightened, and her scarlet eyes began to flicker incessantly.

"Truly detestable..."

Chapter 10: So Annoying!

"Rosia, are you going to attend classes with us later?"

After breakfast, Kiana stretched and asked with some curiosity.

Although she hated theory classes, she had to attend them because of Siegfried.

"C-can I?"

Compared to Kiana's natural unfamiliarity with knowledge, Rosia was now experiencing novelty in everything.

"I'll just speak to Director Theresa."

Noticing Rosia's eyes light up, Bronya nodded.

The knowledge they were learning at this stage was too advanced for Kiana, but it was just right for a well-behaved child like Rosia.

If she were truly their child with Seele, she would be much smarter than Kiana.

Of course, it was fine if she didn't understand.

"Okay, thank you, Bronya-mama."

Rosia said happily.

Rosia spent the entire morning attending classes with Kiana and the others. Although many Valkyries tried to approach her during the process, they all silently retreated upon seeing Bronya's gloomy expression.

Rosia could naturally grasp the content of the classes with ease.

Her personality and way of handling things were what were being influenced, not her knowledge base.

She understood many things but could only process them in a way she found acceptable.

Despite having a pleasant morning, Rosia always felt like something was missing.

"Rosia, let's go eat lunch! Mei made it!"

Just as Kiana was about to pick Rosia up, Bronya beside her gave her a firm pat.

"Ouch, Bronya, what are you doing!"

Kiana recoiled in pain and looked sheepishly at Bronya.

"Can't I just hug her?"

"Hugging is fine, but remember to wash your hands next time. You were drooling on your hands while sleeping in class."

Bronya's gloomy gaze made Kiana scratch her head sheepishly.

"...I'll be careful next time."

"Hah..."

Seeing Bronya disciplining Kiana, Rosia couldn't help but laugh.

"Sister Kiana, sleeping in class is wrong."

"What do you mean? It's just that this knowledge is too boring. As Valkyries, we should let our fists do the talking. Rosia, let me tell you, my Kaslana family's ancestral gun-fu is very powerful!"

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Kiana immediately defended herself.

"Correction. Kiana not only can't beat me in theoretical scores, but her win rate in actual combat is also lower than mine."

Bronya retorted.

"That's because you're bullying me! You have Project Bunny, it's unfair. How can a simulated combat be two against one?"

Kiana said indignantly.

"Heh."

Bronya didn't bother arguing with Kiana. If it were a few years ago, she could have easily taken down the current Kiana with just a pair of stockings.

"Alright, alright, Sister Kiana, Mama Bronya, let's go eat. Sister Mei has been waiting for a long time."

Rosia held Kiana's hand with one hand and Bronya's with the other, trying to ease the tension.

"See, Rosia is much cuter than you, Bronya."

Kiana said with some envy.

"Heh, what does that have to do with you?"

Bronya's disdainful gaze made Kiana grit her teeth.

Although Kiana and Bronya were constantly bickering, almost everyone could tell they had a very good relationship.

During lunch break, lying on the bed, Rosia looked around somewhat confused.

"Looking for something?"

Rosia, who had been peeking around, was startled by the voice.

"Ah!"

Turning around, she saw the girl with black and red hair and crimson eyes lying on her side next to her.

"Where... where were you this morning?"

Rosia said, shrinking her head.

"Are you very concerned about me?"

"Rosia's" eyes flickered.

"Did I... did I do something to make you angry?"

Seeing her expression, Rosia knew she was probably in a bad mood.

"No, you didn't do anything wrong."

"Rosia's" expression was calm.

"But you're angry..."

Rosia whispered.

"I'm not angry."

"Rosia" said.

"You're lying."

Rosia pouted. Normally, her emotions were completely unrestrained, and she would be rambling. Now, with no expression and remaining silent, it meant she was truly angry.

"If... if you're unhappy, you can tell me, I..."

Rosia didn't know how to comfort her. To some extent, "Rosia" should have been perfectly aware of her thoughts, but it was difficult for her to understand "Rosia's" feelings.

Their interaction was more of a top-down thought process, and it was hard for the lower party to understand the higher party's thoughts.

"Will you listen to what I tell you?"

"Rosia" propped her chin up, lying on her side.

"I... I probably will listen..."

Rosia said uncertainly.

"You won't listen, because you believe what you're doing is right."

"And in fact, it is right. What you're doing is indeed right."

"Rosia" continued.

"Are you very scared?"

"Why would I be scared?"

Rosia asked, confused.

"An unfamiliar environment, unfamiliar people, known threats, a helpless future..."

Mid-sentence, "Rosia" suddenly changed the subject.

"Are you happy today?"

"Yes, a little."

Rosia nodded her small head.

"A little? But you... you were smiling so happily."

"Rosia" turned her head and said, somewhat haltingly.

"Because Kiana-onee-chan and Bronya-mama are very interesting, and Mei-onee-chan's cooking is also delicious."

Rosia said earnestly.

"Why only a little?"

"Rosia" felt that her emotions were very off right now, but there was also an indescribable discomfort.

It should be fine as long as she was happy, so why was she getting upset?

"Because you weren't here."

Rosia sat on the bed, adorably shaking her little head.

"Me? What's wrong with me not being here? Aren't you always annoyed by me? Chattering incessantly in your ear."

"Rosia" snorted lightly.
