"Seele, play it by ear! Bronya wanted to see just what this guy was trying to pull..."
Because of the serum earlier, Bronya had slightly changed her opinion of Kimura Seiri. Now, it seemed she had been overthinking it. To him, it was probably just like leaving the serum with her for safekeeping!
"Miss Bronya, don't you have an appetite?"
Kimura Seiri saw Bronya glance at Seele beside her, then suddenly zone out as if she were thinking about something. Seeing that she had not touched her food for a long while, he could not help speaking up.

Just like Seele, Bronya was unaffected by drugs. As soon as the food entered her mouth, she used her Herrscher power to break it down!
