"Huh? Huh?"
Seele was surprised by Mei's request and looked at her in disbelief, as if she hadn't expected Mei to be that kind of person.
"It's better to say I never thought you were this kind of person, Seele."
Mei looked at the expression on Seele's face and couldn't help but reply.
Who would have thought that Seele, who looked like a good girl, would have so many "unseemly" collections!
Mei took a quick glance while gathering the items.
There were at least twenty or thirty thin, small notebooks among the books; that was just a rough estimate.
If checked carefully, the number might only be higher, not lower.
For Mei, these kinds of disgusting things only exist in some stories and in the mouths of others.
This is the first time Mei has seen the reality with her own eyes.
"Waaah~~"
Seele lowered her head and groaned, as if looking for a crack in the floor to crawl into.
But even though she was extremely embarrassed, Seele still struggled to protect her treasure.
"Then, why is Sister Mei so interested in these things?"
"B-Because..."
Mei's gaze darted away at this question, and then she replied in a low voice.
"Because I can't buy them... No, it's better to say, Seele, how did you buy them?"
It's very hard to understand.
The orphanage is so far away, why does Seele have these things?
"There's a computer in Sister Bronya's room."
"Online shopping?"
"Uh... yes."
"Where did the money come from?"
"Cash on delivery, my brother still gives me some spending money during New Year's and other holidays,"
Seele said with some guilt.
"Brother... that's right."
Hearing this, Mei finally understood.
After all, giving money on New Year's is a tradition in both Shenzhou and the Far East.
Although there is nowhere to spend money in the orphanage, Mei understands this custom.
But then it was Seele's turn to show curiosity on her face.
"By the way, can't Sister Mei buy these things?"
"Um... this..."
Mei turned her head away a little embarrassedly.
"Oh, because of Uncle Ryoma?"
Seeing Mei's reaction, Seele immediately understood.
"..."
No, don't understand so fast.
Mei feels helpless toward her father, who is a daughter-slave.
"Well, anyway, I want to borrow half of these books."
Mei said this in a pretentiously arrogant manner.
She's already seventeen!
She is almost half-way through puberty!
Is it wrong for her to like a little bit of that?
She doesn't even have anyone around to talk about puberty with!
Miss Mei has few friends.
Could she still discuss this topic with her sisters at the orphanage?
At least, that's what Mei thought before today.
"Waaah~~"
"Or confiscate them."
Seele's cries didn't move Mei at all.
"Half is half..."
Seele finally decided to give in.
After all, Seele could still distinguish the difference between borrowing and confiscating.
After all, as long as Mei isn't stupid, she definitely won't be the one to confiscate the things.
It will undoubtedly be Tian Shi and Bronya who come.
By then, Seele will be too embarrassed to face anyone.
Of course, confiscation isn't the most important thing.
The most important thing is that after confiscation, she definitely won't have a chance to secretly buy books.
Reluctantly, Seele placed the quilt back under the bed and pulled the book out again.
"There are 42 books in total... Sister Mei, please choose..."
"Let me see..."
Mei randomly picked up a book and opened the disguised cover.
"Mmm!"
Mei exclaimed in surprise with just the first glance.
The most exciting one...
Seele weakly looked at the camouflaged cover.
Although all the books had the same cover, based on the details and Mei's reaction, Seele could already distinguish which one she was reading.
(So, what the heck are you two doing?)
Dark Seele, who still didn't understand the situation and was forced to log out, asked in her mind very unhappily.
No, it wasn't because she was annoyed about being forced to log out.
What really bothered Dark Seele was that Seele, the protagonist, was hiding something from her.
How outrageous!
(No, nothing.)
Seele's lying skills are very confusing.
Such shallow lies as now cannot be hidden from anyone, let alone Dark Seele.
(Hehe... at worst, I'll just look after you fall asleep.)
Dark Seele didn't care about Seele's stubbornness.
Although she wouldn't interfere with Seele's life most of the time, in a situation like this...
Mei's face is almost so red it's bleeding!
Dark Seele was very curious about why Mei had such a reaction.
(Gu... Then you can only take a quick look.)
Dark Seele's words were still very effective.
Seele thought about it and decided that having Dark Seele making a huge fuss in her mind was better than loudly screaming these things at her at night.
Well, Seele has a pretty good idea of how many relatively exciting "comics" there are in this.
When she first saw it, she only dared to show one eye.
If her other self saw it...
Seele quietly put away the booklets, occasionally pulling open a corner of the book to look for the more "gentle" comics inside.
Seele still has a process of going from shallow to deep, and the early stages are relatively mild.
Soon, Seele found what she was looking for.
(Hey! What the heck are those older brothers and younger sisters doing?)
As expected, after a quick glance, Dark Seele exclaimed.
(It's just normal mutual affection...)
(Two, two people in love? This, this, this, this... how embarrassing! They did it in the living room and the bathroom...)
If Dark Seele were in charge of the body now, she might have been staring blankly.
(Woah!)
(But... well, even if it's shameless, it might still have some merits to help me conquer my brother.)
After being surprised, Dark Seele suppressed her somewhat strange mood and said in Seele's mind.
(Then, is there anything else?)
Dark Seele is worthy of being the one who usually screams the loudest, and her capacity for acceptance is quite strong.
(And speaking of which, what is Sister Mei looking at?)
At that moment, Dark Seele finally understood why Mei's face was so red.
"Phew."
Mei took a deep breath and put down the notebook in her hand.
"It's alright... unprofessional."
"?"
Seele looked at Mei with a strange expression.
If it weren't for the unmistakable blush on her face, Seele would even think Mei was reading a professional manual.
Is there such a review book?
"What's not professional enough?"
Seele asked curiously.
"Hmm... the tying technique..."
Mei said with some guilt.
"It seems relatively easy to break free... Well, probably."
That expression just says, "I want to try it," right?
By the way, the book Mei was reading now was a slightly twisted story between a sadistic brother and a submissive sister; it was also Seele's favorite.
After all... Seele felt that she wasn't very good at taking the initiative...
(It would be nice if I could get my brother to take the initiative...)
As Seele thought this, she saw Mei place the notebook next to her; obviously, Mei had already reserved that book.
"..."
Outside, at the same time, Tian Shi and Bronya returned without making any noise.
Everything is going well.
Bronya controlled the Heavy Armored Bunny to scan the situation inside, and at the same time, she winked at Tian Shi.
"They were reading together."
Bronya lowered her voice to the lowest possible level.
When Tian Shi heard Bronya say this, a relieved expression appeared on his face.
In other words, Seele looked like she was about to cry just now because she was reading?
That's right.
After all, Seele is an emotional child.
Dark Seele probably fell asleep because she was reading a book or was stopped by Seele, right?
"I'll go keep them company.
I'll leave the rest to you, Brother."
Really, the star of the birthday party isn't here—well, the blowing out candles part is already over.
And the distance between them was no more than fifty meters.
Naturally, Tian Shi accepted Bronya's request.
After watching Tian Shi leave, Bronya slowly exhaled, and her face instantly flushed red.
"What the heck are those two reading...?"
The Heavy Armored Bunny's enemy detection function even fed back the content of the book the two people in the room were reading without missing a single word!
Is this something of Seele's or Sister Mei's?
Is it Seele's?
After all, there is no place on Mei's body to put such a book.
Thump, thump, thump!
The two people in the room panicked when they heard the sound.
However, before both of them could react, Bronya pushed the door open and walked in.
"S-Sister Bronya?"
Seele was startled at first, but then she sighed in relief.
Fortunately... it's just Sister Bronya.
Seele is surprisingly calm now.
As long as Tian Shi doesn't find out, no matter how bad the situation gets, it won't be that serious.
Besides, Sister Bronya might not be...
"Seele, confiscated."
Bronya's two words destroyed Seele's psychological defenses.
"Sister Bronya!?"
Seele looked at Bronya in disbelief.
She never could have imagined that her beloved Sister Bronya would say such ruthless words!
"Don't look so desperate."
Mei watched the despair on Seele's face and curled the corners of her lips.
"I'll keep it for you first and then give it back to you when you grow up, Seele."
Sister Bronya is the same age as me!
Seele doesn't believe it at all—even Mei sides with Seele.
"Sorry, Bronya, I have half of this."
"After confiscation, I can give half to Mei."
"It's okay, please help yourselves."
Mei spread her hands and opened another notebook as if nothing had happened.
"One-third! Sister Bronya and Sister Mei, one-third each."
Seele looked at Bronya who "betrayed" her and said with tears in her eyes.
Although this situation is really strange.
"Okay!"
But we have to exchange.
Bronya decided to retreat while she was ahead; after all, this kind of thing really couldn't be discovered by Tian Shi.
Afterward, Bronya asked Bunny to guard the door, and she also sat down, and the three of them formed a triangle.
"So, Seele, what the heck are you looking at?"
Bronya asked while putting the small notebook into her clothes with an expressionless face.
"It's quite interesting actually, isn't it?"
Mei smiled.
At first, Seele thought it was a very innocent love story, but as time went on, it got more exciting.
I must say, Seele's taste is still very unique.
Gradually, Mei figured out the trick.
The things Seele watched became more and more exciting, and in the end, even bondage came out.
Although Mei also thinks it's pretty good.
Mei smiled.
(Tsk, isn't there a reverse calculation?)
Dark Seele looked very dissatisfied.
She wasn't a passive sister!
She wanted to take the initiative!
"I'm a little curious what my brother would think if he saw these things."
Bronya said with a slight blush, looking at Seele.
Now, Seele's intentions are known to everyone.
Even if Bronya didn't get involved in Mei's affairs, she now understood what Seele was thinking.
Bronya's gaze made Seele shrink her head.
However, Bronya didn't say anything more and skipped the topic directly.
After all, her brain hasn't suffered damage in this life, and she has indeed noticed some things.
Of course, no matter what, she doesn't understand as well as Seele does now.
To Bronya and Mei, Seele is now considered an old driver.
It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover.
Bronya couldn't help but sigh in her heart as she looked at the picture in the notebook that made her face flush.
At the same time, she subconsciously lowered her head and squeezed her chest, then looked at the character in the notebook again.
They are roughly the same age, but why is the difference so big?
It seems my brother likes the big ones...
"Ahem."
Mei coughed twice, indicating for Bronya to pay attention to her movements.
Is it really okay to do this?
No matter what, don't push!
"It is really excessive artistic processing."
Bronya reacted and lowered her hand and said calmly.
Then Bronya looked at Seele and Mei.
"..."
Is it really artistic processing?
Bronya looked at herself again.
I have decided to drink an extra glass of milk every day starting now.
"I'm done."
Mei, who sensed that the atmosphere was a bit odd, spoke first.
Seele glanced at the wear and wrinkles of the notebooks in Mei's hand and found that Mei chose the ones she liked the most... well, the most exciting ones.
(Sister Mei is also a person who can't be judged by her appearance...)
Seele felt distressed and thought strangely.
She first thought Mei would prefer pure love... Could it be that she had awakened some hobby?
But in this regard, perhaps Sister Mei and I have something in common?
But why did things turn out like this?
Seele looked at Bronya and Mei with some sadness.
It all started... just because she wanted to ask Sister Mei how to grow taller.
Why did things turn out like this?
