With Sister Bronya not around and her the other self not responding, she was at a loss for what to do.

Moreover, this orphanage is very strange.

Although Rosalia and the others were still there, Bronya, Anne, and Peggy, the slightly older children, were nowhere to be seen, as if... they had never even been in the orphanage.

Remembering that Rosalia and the others had always said that she was protecting the orphanage, Seele felt even heavier.

Having always been protected by her Sister Bronya and her the other self, can she really protect the entire orphanage?

Looking into those expectant eyes, Seele immediately felt the weight on her shoulders.

Chapter 84 Seele's Straight-Ahead Attack

St. Freya in World Bubble, Seele's Dormitory.

Splash!

The gentle stream of water from the showerhead is at the temperature that girls love most; it feels slightly itchy on the skin and can just right take away the fatigue that has accumulated throughout the day.

"Hmm..."

Feeling the soothing sensation of the water washing over her skin, [Seele] couldn't help but groan, her mind flashing back to all the things that had happened in the past few days.

She had always been living inside Seele, and had almost never had a life of her own.

During this time, although others only regarded her Seele, she still felt very happy about the feeling of being able to freely control her body.

Her older sister dotes on her endlessly, and the boy and Mei treat her like a younger sister, letting her do whatever she wants with her mischief and pranks.

That's wonderful, it's almost like she's completely become Seele.

Upon realizing this, Seele felt as if her brain had been struck by lightning.

No, that's not right!

What on earth has she been doing these past few days?!

Spending some time alone with this phantom-like Bronya? Playing school games with the boys and others?

Thinking about her immersive role-playing these past few days, [Seele] felt like strangling herself.

As Seele's guardian, how could she indulge in these sweet campus days when Seele's whereabouts and fate were unknown?

Before she could even turn off the shower, [Seele] simply threw on a towel and rushed out of the bathroom.

"Seele?"

Seeing the girl making strange moves again, the gray-haired loli on the sofa in the hall had a look of doubt in her eyes, but quickly nodded with relief, "Does Seele want Bronya to take a shower together?"

"Together?"

Seeing the gray-haired loli speak in such a calm tone, even though Seele had already made up her mind to tell the truth, she couldn't help but blush instantly.

But then realizing that this wasn't the time to do "that" with her older sister, [Seele] quickly shook her head and said, "Heh, older sister, you're so silly. You didn't even realize I wasn't Seele."

"Seele?"

Faced with the girl's confession, the gray-haired loli simply tilted her head in confusion.

"But if it were a real older sister, she would definitely be able to tell in the first second."

Not captivated by her older sister's head tilt, Seele forcefully shifted her gaze away.

"What are you saying, Seele?"

The gray-haired loli still asked in a puzzled tone.

"I said..."

After a slight pause, Seele took a long breath before shouting at the top of her lungs, "I'm not Seele!"

As she spoke, the girl threw a punch forward.

Bang!

As if it had struck some invisible barrier, countless fine cracks, like a spiderweb, immediately appeared in the air.

"Seele, are you sick?"

With a worried look, the gray-haired loli quickly approached and reached out to touch the girl's forehead.

Sand~

As if passing through an ethereal shadow, Bronya's hand went straight through the girl's body.

"Yes, I was just a shadow all along..."

Seeing the astonishment in her older sister's eyes, [Seele] couldn't help but sigh softly, her face showing deep frustration.

Even though she had prepared herself for everything, she still felt inexplicably sad when she truly realized this fact.

If possible, she also hopes to have a life like Seele's!

But what she wanted even more than these things was...

Give Seele back to me!

A massive black and red scythe materialized in her hand, Seele slashed down with all her might at the crack before her without hesitation.

On the World Bubble.

Buzz!

After directing the Heavy-duty Bunny to eliminate the last Quantum Shadow in sight, and leading Rosalia and the others to collect supplies for the next period of time, Seele's expression suddenly became more serious.

Facing the familiar faces filled with joy, Seele took a long breath and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Rosalia, I'm leaving."

"Hmm? Seele, are you going somewhere fun?"

Rosalia asked instinctively, her face revealing undisguised anticipation.

"You idiot Rosalia, Seele is leaving the orphanage."

Liliya, standing to the side, ruthlessly exposed him.

"Ah!?"

Rosalia's expression immediately turned to shock.

"Um..."

With a complicated expression, Seele nodded slightly and explained softly, "I'm sorry, actually... I'm not from your world."

"Ah?"

Rosalia's shock deepened.

"And I must find Sister Bronya!"

Seele clenched her fist and said forcefully.

And... another version of myself.

She added silently to herself, a deep resolve rising in Seele's eyes.

It felt really good to protect others with my own strength, and the sisterly trust that Rosalia and the others placed in her made the girl consider staying.

But when she thought of Sister Bronya whereabouts were still unknown, and her the other self, Seele suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

Bronya has no power to fight against the Quantum Shadow, and she doesn't know what's going on with her the other self. How can she stay here and be the head of the orphanage with peace of mind?

"Bronya... does such a person really exist?"

Rosalia asked, looking confused.

Yes, there are.

In that world that belonged to me, it was Sister Bronya always protected us.

Seele said with a smile, "Of course, there are many, many other people too."

"Seele, you've made up your mind, haven't you?"

Liliya asked calmly.

"Um."

Nodding gently, Seele smiled warmly. "Liliya, Rosalia, we'll meet again sometime."

As the girl's gentle voice fell, the Heavy-duty Bunny beside her, which had been poised to fire, unleashed its most dazzling particle cannon shot into the sky.

Buzz!

In the golden beam of light that seemed to pierce through the sky, the sky, still scattering snowflakes, shattered into pieces, and the entire world collapsed and disintegrated rapidly as if it had lost its support, revealing the true Quantum Sea behind it.

In this dark and deep sea, a girl with the same appearance as Seele, except that her hair was dyed black and red, fell from a great height.

Their eyes met, and a rapid shift from surprise to joy appeared in both of their gazes.

"Found you, Seele!"

"I've found you, my other self."

Without hesitation, they embraced tightly, shouting at the same time.

Upon hearing the two voices that were almost overlapping, both women blushed and quickly separated from each other.

Looking down at her feet, Seele whispered, "That..."

"Seele, let's deal with that first. We still need to go see our big sister later."

Pointing to a dark blue gem floating not far away, Seele said in a deep voice.

Looking up, Seele also noticed the Serenity Gem. A hint of surprise flashed across her face, but she quickly nodded. "Okay, the other me."

Although she didn't understand why the Serenity Gem, once possessed by the boy, was here, Seele knew in her heart that the power of the Serenity Gem would be an important help for them to reclaim the boy.

Thinking this, Seele quickened her pace and firmly grasped the hand of her the other self: "This time, let's face it together!"

Having experienced the transplantation experiment of Conquest Gem, she knew just how dangerous these Herrscher Core were, and of course she couldn't let the other self face them alone.

"Um..."

Feeling the warmth emanating from the girl's palm, [Seele] surprisingly did not object, but simply blushed and nodded slightly.

Even though it was just in a fake World Bubble, she still took away the life that originally belonged to Seele, which made Seele somewhat unsure how to face the girl.

"Also, after this is over and we return to Haiyuan City, why don't you choose a name of your own?"

She spoke softly, her Seele towards her the other self filled with tenderness.

"Ah?"

Unable to help but open her mouth wide, [Seele]'s brain momentarily went blank, unable to comprehend what was happening.

"Because..."

As she spoke, Seele recalled the time she had spent separated from her the other self.

Having always been used to having the other self by her side, Seele only realized how important that the other self was after losing her.

In her mind, the other person was already like family.

A thousand thoughts flashed through her mind, Seele subconsciously uttered her final conclusion. "I want to be with you forever."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Seele realized what she had said, and her pretty face immediately turned as red as a lobster.

"W-what? It's just a small matter!"

Her cheeks were also bright red, but Seele still said in as normal a tone as possible, "I... I agree to this."

In the end, the girl's voice trembled uncontrollably, so weak that it seemed as if it would dissipate into the air at any moment.

With her head burning up to the point of near delirium, Seele simply grasped the hand of her the other self and walked toward the Serenity Gem in a daze.

In the soft, pale blue light, the shadows of two twin girls gradually overlapped.

Chapter 85 The Sea of Quanta group and the [Truth] Beneath the Deep Sea

Unlike the near-death experience of the Conquest Gem transplant, the moment Seele touched the Serenity Gem, an inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up in her heart, as if... this gem was meant to belong to her.

Unable to fathom the source of this sense of familiarity, Seele accepted the Serenity Gem and hurriedly ventured deeper into the Quantum Sea.
