Mei, who had lost a lot of blood and whose vision was somewhat blurry, took a long time to finally see who had broken in.
"Oh, it's Bronya... If it's nothing important, could you please leave for now. Big Sis Mei is busy with something important right now!"
"No—!"
Bronya slid on her knees to Mei's feet and hugged her leg. Although Bronya really wanted to confess to Mei with tears and snot, she was unfortunately an expressionless girl who lacked emotions.
"Big Sis Mei, you can't do this, you can't betray Kiana! And even if you do, can't you look at me! I'm also a super cute loli!"
"..."
*I don't like expressionless lolis!*
Mei patted Bronya's head apologetically, then half-pushed, half-pulled her out of the room.
"I'm sorry, Bronya. Forgive me, this is the very last time!"
*Slam—*
Mei locked the door behind her. Her previously somewhat indifferent expression immediately returned to that of a lecherous woman who couldn't get enough.
"My cute Seele~ let's continue!!"
Seele, expressionless and with lifeless eyes, let Mei manipulate her body, posing her in one cute position after another.
Her body felt stiff to the touch, it looked like she had been dead for a long time. (not)
Seele now felt that she would rather be dead!
Mei kept saying how cute she was, but in reality, she was making her wear a mask with Kiana's smile on it!!
This was just treating her as a faceless mannequin!
Damn it! This is an insult to my personality!
"Seele, don't move! The mask is crooked... straighten it to the left!"
"Okay..."
Seele replied listlessly, simultaneously adjusting her mask.
*Sob sob sob—*

Who was the bastard who designed the expressionless character setting back then!
Being expressionless is even more of a lost cause than being a tsundere!!
*Sob sob sob—*
Bronya hugged her knees and squatted outside Mei's door. She really wanted to cry right now, but there wasn't a trace of sadness in her heart, not a single tear could be shed.
"Oh, right. If I can't be sad, then I won't be sad."
Bronya seemed to have a sudden realization and stood up from the ground again.
I'll be sad later when my emotions are back to normal! Without Mei, I still have Seele waiting for me!
(Seele: Big Sis Bronya, Seele is going to self-destruct with Sin! Bronya: Dammit, why. Why am I the only one who can't do anything!)
Bronya packed up her things, putting away the gatling gun, grenades, sniper rifle, and missiles.
Because their entry into this inner world was so sudden, Bronya only had these ordinary weapons with her.
Next time, she should bring some Honkai weapons. They're powerful and easy to carry, unlike ordinary guns that need to be assembled.
As Bronya was thinking this, she prepared to dock the ship next to the narwhal to see what Kiana and the others were doing, as there had been no news from them at all.
And also to tell Kiana to come back and catch the cheater!
As she was heading out, Bronya suddenly felt her vision go black. When her sight returned to normal, two people had suddenly appeared in front of her.
Ryn and Kiana descended from the sky, landing in front of Bronya.
"Eh, Bronya..."
Seeing Bronya, Ryn called out her name in surprise.
Bronya heard Ryn call her name and looked at him curiously.
"Eh? You're... Ryn?"
Looking at that signature hairstyle, even though his clothes and build were completely different from Houraiji Kyuusyou's, Bronya still recognized who this guy was at a glance.
It had to be the Ryn that Seele mentioned.
"Bronya, do you know where Mei is?"
"And Seele, the cute little girl with short blackish-blue or reddish hair!"
Kiana and Ryn asked Bronya at the same time where Mei and Seele were.
Bronya looked at the two anxious main parties in front of her, the corners of her lips curling up into a mischievous smile, like a cunning little rabbit. She said to Kiana and Ryn with a sad face:
"Kiana, Ryn... you're too late..."
Bronya was like a chief physician walking out of the operating room, announcing to Ryn and Kiana that the patient had failed to be revived and didn't have much time left.
"They... they have already... sigh... you should hurry to Mei's room... to see them one last time!"
"Mei!!" Kiana shouted Mei's name in a panic and ran towards her room.
Ryn, however, stayed behind, looking at Bronya with confusion.
Even though Bronya was expressionless, he remembered that she would show slight signs of joy or anger when she heard news about Seele. What was with this look of enjoying a good show?
"Aren't you going to see Seele one last time, Brother Ryn?" Bronya saw Ryn was still standing there and reminded him in a small voice.
Catching a cheater, the point is for everyone to be present. If Ryn was late, and Mei had already been caught by Kiana and cleaned up the scene, it wouldn't be fun anymore.
"Don't worry, she won't die."
Ryn shook his head, signaling for Bronya not to worry.
Seele explored the Sea of Quanta alone. The dangers involved were self-evident, and hovering on the brink of life and death was a common occurrence.
But Seele had someone watching over her from above!
Seele was still so weak now, she just hadn't experienced true death yet to understand the true meaning of life and death.
If someone really killed Seele...
Then...
Then they would just have to let the enhanced plus version Seele Prime make a grand entrance!
(Ryn: Bronya, don't misunderstand, I'm talking about my Seele, not yours.)
"But since Bronya is in such a hurry, I should probably go take a look!"
Ryn patted Bronya's head. After Bronya unhappily shook her head and shrugged off his hand, he chuckled and followed Kiana's footsteps towards Mei's room.
The path to Mei's room was not very long; it was only about a half-minute's distance from the entrance of the residential area to her room.
And then... Ryn hadn't taken many steps before he saw Kiana, petrified at Mei's doorway, frozen in the motion of kicking the door open.
"Mei..."
Kiana muttered Mei's name in disbelief, her body involuntarily taking a few steps back to lean against the wall.
Ryn stuck his head out and peeked into the room to see what could have shocked and scared Kiana so much.
And then, like Kiana, Ryn was petrified on the spot.
He clutched his slightly aching chest in disbelief, his nose inexplicably bleeding.
Oh no, Swaying Kitty Seele is really so sexy!
And this mask with a photo of Kiana's smile on Seele's face...
Oh no, I'm even more sexually excited!
