"But besides the Gem, there is one more thing."
After finalizing the solution for the Gem of Conquest, Edison changed the subject.
"Although Mei is a good martial artist, she has never systematically practiced Honkai energy control. I brought her here this time with the idea of exercising her in this area."
"That's Reanna's job, don't tell me."
"You are a boss who doesn't get involved in anything."
Edison's mouth twitched.
"Thank you very much."
"..."
Edison really didn't know if Tian Shi's character was good or bad.
Why does he sound like a housekeeper?
Hmm... although this feeling is unexpectedly not bad.
Edison thought silently.
I can now be considered the first to get the moon because I'm close to the water.
Well, when she was still at Schicksal, Einstein and Tesla monopolized Tian Shi for so long, and now that he's with Anti-Entropy, it's her turn to have it all to herself for a while.
She has worked so hard for Anti-Entropy for so long, can't she have some fun and have Tian Shi all to herself for a while?
And then the music and dancing!
Well, Edison didn't consider Planck or anything at all.
"Then let's build another laboratory here during this time."
"By the way, does Ryoma know about his daughter?"
"Of course he knows. After all, she is a real daughter. For some reason, he also accepted this plan."
Edison nodded.
"Who?"
"That woman, Cocolia. I actually agree with her belief that 'you cannot safely survive in this world with only a shelter'."
Edison rubbed her temples with some distress.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Did you buy Bronya's birthday cake yet?"
"Of course, after all, it's Bronya's fourteenth birthday, but remember to reimburse him for the cake."
"…"
.......................
"Hmm... I feel so full..."
Mei touched her waist.
"I feel like I'm going to gain weight..."
"Is Mei-nee worried about this kind of thing too?"
Seele walked up with a small plate of cake and asked curiously.
"Well... since I trained in martial arts, I ate a lot. Muscle weighs more than the same volume of fat, so every physical exam at school wasn't a good memory for me."
Mei touched her waist with a hint of worry; as a teenager, it was normal for her to worry about that aspect.
"I envy you very much, Seele. You no longer have these kinds of problems."
"Problems..."
Seele looked at Mei's chest with a hint of envy.
Although it is embarrassing to say it, for Seele, Mei's "specifications" are the closest to those of Cocolia's mother.
If she hadn't met Mei, Seele might have been satisfied with her chest that stood out from the crowd.
But now that I see it... it's normal for people to be a little ambitious, isn't it?
(You could take this opportunity to ask Mei-nee what her secret is.)
Dark Seele, who had already digested the Honkai energy, woke up and fanned the flames in her mind.
(Or maybe let my brother rub it? Anyway, I don't mind; no, I should say I'd be happy to.)
Don't say such shameless words!
While listening to her other self in her mind fanning the flames, Seele's ears couldn't help but turn red.
Kneading, kneading or something...
"Hmm? What's wrong, Seele?"
Mei also noticed Seele's strange expression and couldn't help but ask.
"No, nothing!"
Seele hastily ate the cake on the plate in one bite to cover it up.
"Hmm... is something wrong?"
Mei rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment before directly exposing her.
"Seele, you can't lie at all."
(Hehe... But in reality, Seele is a bad girl who is as good at lying as she is at eating and drinking water.)
Dark Seele was smiling and dismantling the show in Seele's mind.
As Dark Seele, who can only remain in her body most of the time, she will never miss any opportunity to make fun of Seele.
No way! No way!
Don't talk nonsense!
"You can tell me if you have any problems."
Mei smiled at Seele, but saying that made Seele's expression even stranger.
My own problems...
Seele looked at Mei's chest.
Ugh... How can I say such a thing?
Do I really have to ask Sister Mei this kind of question?
After asking, Mei-san will definitely look at me with a strange look, right?
(But what if you actually ask?)
Dark Seele continued to fan the flames, hoping that the world would descend into chaos.
(Don't you want to be as big as Mei?)
"I, I still have room to grow."
Seele weakly retorted in her heart.
(Then wouldn't it be good to be bigger than Mei? It's not nice to say this, but it's incredibly difficult to snatch Onii-sama from Bronya-sama; well, Bronya-sama might not have room to grow in her life.)
Sister Bronya?
Seele secretly looked at Bronya who was eating cake at the table.
Well, the most important thing is the chest.
Bronya cures Seele's inner exhaustion with just a glance at her chest.
Yes, it's really reassuring, Sister Bronya...
No, how could I think like that?
But it certainly is reassuring.
Seele let out a sigh of relief with a feeling of guilt, then looked at Mei again.
Looking at her chest, Mei increased Seele's mental exhaustion.
(What is there to be ashamed of? What's in your hands is the truly good thing! If you really can't do it, let me do it.)
The other self is completely serious...
But... what my other self said does make some sense...
After thinking about it for a while, Seele silently made a decision.
"Um, um, Mei-nee, how about we go up and talk?"
"Mmm?"
Mei's face showed understanding upon hearing this.
"Girl's secret? I get it."
Mei's smile made Seele feel a little embarrassed.
"Well... let's go to Seele's room."
Seele lowered her head and pulled Mei towards the upstairs of the house without saying a word.
"Seriously, Seele, you're too impatient. Tell me, Seele, what is worrying you?"
Mei complained first and then prepared to listen to Seele's problems with great interest.
"Se, Seele's problem is... wu..."
This, this is too embarrassing!
"?"
Mei tilted her head.
Don't worry, Seele.
It's just you and Mei!
Cheer up!
You must be brave!
"Um... Mei-nee, how can I make it... bigger?"
"...?"
Mei's face showed confusion.
"Uh... Seele, what did you say? What about growing? I didn't hear you well."
"That is, that is..."
"That? Which one?"
Since she was a pure girl, Mei did not understand Seele's implication at all.
"Seele... can you be a little more specific?"
"Ugg…"
Seele let out a cry of pain: doesn't Mei's innocent behavior make her look like a bad girl?
(Tsk, if that doesn't work, let me do it.)
Dark Seele expressed her impatience with Seele's hesitation.
How could she let the other self out!
This kind of thing would scare Mei-nee, wouldn't it?
"Just, just, uh... just, just... breasts."
After reluctantly finishing these words, Seele's face turned as red as a ripe apple.
I actually said it out loud!
My Sister Mei will definitely look at me like I'm a bad girl, right?
"Um... eat more eggs and drink more milk?"
However, surprisingly, Mei's reaction was more normal than expected.
Mei scratched her face a little embarrassed.
"How to put it? I don't know why I grew so much..."
(Ah, Sister Mei is in Versailles.)
Dark Seele suddenly felt unhappy.
"I can probably understand how you feel, Seele. At school, some classmates ask me similar questions, but I really don't know how to answer them."
Mei raised her palm to support her chest, with a somewhat melancholic look on her face.
"Actually, being too big isn't good either. You have to wear a bra every day, and it's very problematic to run or train if it's too big... And sometimes, when I say my age, they look at me strangely or ask things like: 'Seele, you're the one.' I think a smaller size is better."
(Can I put your panties in Mei's mouth?)
Just by the tone of voice, Seele could imagine the other person gritting her teeth.
"Is that so?"
Seele asked dryly while trying to comfort Dark Seele.
That answer was not what she wanted at all!
"It should be like this..."
Mei said with uncertainty.
"Or maybe there are genetic factors?"
"Is it hereditary?"
Seele subconsciously put her chest together.
Is this also hereditary...?
But to be honest, Seele has no impression of her parents.
Isn't this aspect completely impossible to check?
Isn't there a secret recipe or something?
Like asking someone to knead it.
As the topic progressed, Seele gradually relaxed, and this time she asked boldly and with a red face.
"Let others touch it?"
Mei showed a serious expression.
"How can a girl's breasts be touched so casually?"
Then, Mei's face turned slightly red.
"Even if you want to rub it, it has to be your boyfriend or something, right? It's still too early for you, Seele, you're only fourteen this year. Even if you want to have a relationship, you have to wait until you're... uh... sixteen, at least seventeen."
"Does Mei-nee have a boyfriend?"
Seele shrank her head and asked curiously.
"I don't have a boyfriend or anything like that... but I do have a target..."
Mei's eyes suddenly wandered, but then a discouraged expression appeared on her face.
"But... I probably don't deserve him..."
Huh?
Is there anyone who Mei-nee-sama doesn't deserve?
Not even Seele could escape those gossipy questions.
In her opinion, Sister Mei is the heir to a large company.
A company!
A famous multinational, who can make Mei feel unworthy?
"What kind of person is the other party?"
"Is he, uh... what kind of person is he..."
Mei's eyes were wandering.
"He's a very gentle, handsome, and considerate older brother."
"Eh? He sounds like a good guy."
"Well... I... I think so too."
Mei nodded somewhat stiffly.
"Then why does Sister Mei feel unworthy of him?"
Seele asked curiously.
"Because the other party owns a company that has a partnership with our company"
"Anti-Entropy has a collaboration with his company..."
Mei tried very hard to convince herself.
"And he's not a second-generation rich kid, he's a self-made first-generation rich kid who is only a little older than me..."
"Isn't he a very good person?"
Seele didn't catch the hidden meaning.
"I think Mei-nee should take the initiative!"
(That's right! You should be more proactive! How can you know if he's suitable if you don't take the initiative? In love, there is no such thing as being worthy or not.)
Dark Seele also agreed with both hands.
"Yes... I think so too. But, after all, I'm a student and he's the head of a company... Besides, I have a younger sister at home to take care of, so we can't see each other every day..."
(Tsk, this isn't a simple matter. Win over the other person's sister first! After meeting the other person's sister, won't you be able to meet the other person legitimately?)
Dark Seele said angrily.
"Uh... how about we try contacting that guy's sisters first?"
Seele suggested, following Dark Seele's words.
"Yes, yes, that's what I thought."
Mei's eyes were almost aimed at the ceiling.
"I already asked his sisters to call me 'sister'... but I always feel like I can't communicate with them... and this year he seemed to notice my thoughts and told me not to look for him until I got into college."
(This means that the person has already noticed Mei's feelings, right? Now is the time to press the advantage!)
"That means the other party has noticed your feelings, Mei-nee-san... How about you press on with your victory?"
"I think so too... Maybe he'll invite me to stay there for a few days in the future... Well... I also want to take this opportunity to give my best... But... I'm still a little shy."
"By the way, what is it about him that makes you like him, Mei-nee?"
"I like... He's gentle and handsome... and sometimes a little cute..."
Mei thought of Tian Shi possessing Reanna and Tian Shi possessing Homu.
"Although it's a bit cliché and superficial... Isn't it strange to confess for such a superficial reason?"
It's okay!
Mei!
Seeing Mei's melancholy, Seele gathered her courage and patted her on the shoulder.
"Love doesn't have to involve a hero saving a beautiful girl or vows of eternal love! As long as it comes from the heart, even common love is love!"
"Really? I understand. Thank you, Seele. I'll prepare right away!"
Hearing Seele's words, Mei's eyes lit up and she immediately stood up.
(Tsk tsk tsk, Seele, that's great, you can really say that.)
"Seele is just empathizing with Mei's experience."
Seele sighed somewhat melancholically.
"I really envy Mei's courage, I wonder when..."
(Wait... Seele, don't you think there's something wrong with Mei's description?)
