Something's not right, not right at all. Ryn and Kiana simultaneously turned their gaze towards the distant pirate ship.
If Ryn and Kiana both felt their heads become heavy at the same time, it could only mean that something had happened between Seele and Mei, who had boarded the pirate ship...
"No... absolutely not...!"
"Impossible... absolutely impossible...!"
Ryn and Kiana waved their hands in unison, casting the unrealistic thoughts from their minds.
"My lover, Mei, is pure and chaste, upright and incorruptible. I, Kiana, cannot be cheated on!"
"My lover, Seele, is incredibly sharp-witted and has the layered protection of her guardian spirit, Dark Seele. I, Ryn, cannot be cheated on!"
After Ryn and Kiana finished speaking, they stared at each other, at a loss for words.
Finally, Ryn pointed at the pirate ship and broke the silence.
"Should we... go take a look...?"
"Then... let's go?" Kiana asked back, somewhat uncertainly.
And so, Ryn took Kiana's hand, leaped into the air, and then dived towards the pirate ship.
Seeing Kiana and Ryn leave, Houraiji Kyuusyou, who was gagged and unable to speak, her entire body bound with silk ribbons, also began to squirm frantically on the ground.
"Mmmph mmmph—" (Don't leave me behind! Take me with you!!)

In a certain room on the pirate ship...
It was as if someone had been stabbed several times, blood spraying out like a showerhead, leaving pools of crimson stains on the floor.
And the one responsible for this phenomenon... Raiden Mei, was now stuffing tissues into her two bleeding nostrils, looking with an intoxicated expression at the delectable and alluring Seele before her.
When faced with Seele's apology, seeing how soft and weak, innocent and pure, and utterly adorable she was, making one's protective instincts flare up...
Mei's hidden special tastes couldn't help but erupt.
So she made some requests to Seele, such as changing into some cute clothes, letting her kiss, hug, and lift her up, or taking some super-duper cute photos!
Seele's first reaction was to refuse, but Mei tilted her neck, revealing a long mark of a different color on her snow-white neck, which she had secretly applied with foundation.
"Your attack back then left a very long wound. Although it wasn't fatal, it will definitely leave an ugly scar... Seele, we are both girls, you should know what a scar means to us..."
"But... but..." Seele was too agitated to speak.
The scar on Mei's neck blocked all the excuses Seele wanted to make.
Dark Seele also fell into self-doubt in her heart. How did she remember that she hadn't even struck at all, but had only pressed the blade against Mei's neck.
But if she didn't strike, then why was there a wound?
*Gulp*— I seem to have caused trouble...
"Seele, how about we just destroy the evidence? Her demands are too outrageous, too humiliating! We absolutely can't agree!"
"But... but... we caused Big Sis Mei a great deal of harm! This is already beyond what an apology can make up for..."
"..."
Dark Seele shut her mouth and silently retreated into the depths of the Stigmata Space. She began to browse through the data recorded in the Stigmata Space. There was no way she would let Seele sell her body for Mei's forgiveness! She had to find a solution before Seele stepped into that abyss!
Mei watched Seele with great interest, curiously waiting for her reply.
Faced with Mei's unreasonable demands, in order to obtain her forgiveness, Seele could only bite her lip and agree in humiliation.
And so... Mei, overjoyed, pulled Seele into her room and locked the door from the inside.
The cat ear headband in the drawer! The cute pajamas in the closet! The cosmetics on the vanity!
Before Seele could even react, Mei had already taken out a large pile of clothes that Seele found embarrassing and laid them out in front of her.
"Heh! I originally bought these for Kiana to wear, but Kiana said she didn't like them and refused to put them on. So I've kept them until now... but now, hehehe..."
Mei's eyes seemed to be sparkling with crazed hearts as she looked excitedly at Seele, who was already blushing beet-red.
"Come on, hurry up and change! I want lots of pretty pictures!"
"I... I..."
Seele's eyes were already blurry with shyness, she could barely see clearly.
Seeing that Seele had lost her ability to resist, Mei panted heavily and excitedly began to help Seele change her clothes with her own hands.

"Why has she been gone for so long and not come back? Could something have happened?"
Bronya had been waiting alone on the deck for a long time, but neither Mei nor Seele had come out of the lounge area.
She inexplicably thought that Seele still didn't recognize her and Mei as companions. Could Seele have gone to secretly kill Mei?
The more Bronya thought about it, the more scared she became. She quickly grabbed her gatling gun and grenades and rushed towards Mei's room.
If anything happened to Mei, Bronya, who had a crush on her, would never forgive herself.
As she passed through the corridor of the lounge area, Bronya immediately smelled the scent of blood in the air.
Her face instantly hardened, the safety on her gatling gun already disengaged. Project Bunny behind her was also on standby, the missile in its cannon ready to fire at any moment.
Upon reaching Mei's door, the smell of blood became even stronger...
Bronya closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, then her eyes snapped open. She kicked down Mei's door, aimed the dark muzzle of her gatling gun into the room, and shouted:
"Big Sis Mei! Bronya is here to save you... save you..."
Seele, posing as a cute model, and Mei, rapidly pressing the shutter to capture Seele's every adorable expression, both froze on the spot when they saw Bronya burst in.
*Clang—*
Bronya's gatling gun fell to the floor, her face pale as a ghost.
Looking at the scene in the room, which resembled a cosplay photoshoot, Bronya didn't know what to say.
One was the person she had a crush on, no, it was an open crush! Even though Mei always rejected her, she still loved Big Sis Mei so much. The other was a Seele who had the same face as her beloved little sister, but was completely different.
It should have been double the happiness... but... why... why did it turn out like this...
