"Emmm… How should I start this?"
Silver Wolf mumbled under her breath, fingers rapidly tapping the screen, punching out a few words.
[Seele, what are you up to?]
Wait, isn't that opener a bit too plain?
Besides, it felt inappropriate for her, the 'hero who saved the damsel,' to be asking.
Right, better change it.
What should I change it to…
Silver Wolf's expression turned serious and focused. She instinctively sat up from her lounging position, holding her phone with both hands, thumbs hovering over the keyboard at the bottom of the screen.
After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't come up with a suitable opening line.
Well, it couldn't be helped. She really had zero experience flirting with girls!
But the thought of Seele's angelically cute smile and her sweet voice calling "Big Sis Silver Wolf" made Silver Wolf's heart thump uncontrollably fast.
After a long silence, Silver Wolf raised her hand, a quantum glow shimmering around its edge.
"Whatever. I'll just cheat."
Reaching into the light diffusing pixel blocks, she pulled [Friend] out from the Intelligent Armory and issued a command.
"Xiao Yuan, take these three and crawl the interstellar network for chat logs of guys hitting on girls."
A chibi doll with two-head-high proportions, whose arms couldn't even reach the top of its own head even when stretched straight – a Q-version avatar of Silver Wolf.
All her virtual companions looked like this, differing only in their clothes.
"Huh? Crawl chat logs of guys hitting on girls?"
The little figure, clad in pajamas and held by the scruff of its neck, widened its incredibly cartoonish eyes, looking puzzled. But it quickly grasped Silver Wolf's intention.
"You coward, you suck—"
Before the last word could escape, Xiao Yuan was ruthlessly tossed back into the depths of the Intelligent Armory and suppressed.
Silver Wolf then shot an icy glare at the other three chibi figures.
Looking up at the boss behind them, whose dark aura practically burned like a physical substance, red light piercing through her bangs, radiating the oppressive presence of a final boss…
The two-head-high chibi codenamed [Demon Lord] was the first to salute.
"Yes, BOSS!"
[Worker] and [Slave] quickly followed suit, snapping to attention and raising their tiny hands in imitation.
"Loyalty!"
Virtual screens popped up before the three small figures. Their little hands moved so fast they became blurs as they began crawling the interstellar network for chat logs between couples.
After the trio submitted dozens of opening lines, Silver Wolf ultimately chose the very first one she had thought of herself.
However, after the message was sent, it remained unread for a long, long time.
"Is she already asleep?" Silver Wolf felt a pang of melancholy.
She had no idea what kind of ordeal the Seele she was longing for was currently enduring.
Once a train room is bound to a passenger's biological information, the passenger can lock the room. During this time, apart from Pom-Pom who holds the highest authority, no one can enter.
As for Pom-Pom… unless Seele blew up the Express, it definitely wouldn't do anything to disturb a passenger's privacy.
Within this absolutely private space, the bold idea that had surfaced when she first drew the character card bloomed like fireworks lighting up the night sky, scattering countless tiny, unspeakable impulses.
I want to carefully experience the differences between a girl's body structure and a boy's!
If someone possessed two bodies of different genders, male and female, surely 99% of humans would have the same thought.
Caelus's idea was simple, like someone who just bought a new house – wouldn't they naturally want to check out the floor plan?
It was only natural.
But that damned auto-battle program hadn't finished yet! White Seele was still inside her body. If Seele, in this state, eagerly examined herself in the mirror…
For White Seele, it would probably be more than just a simple shock.
At this moment, it felt as if Seele's own Dark Seele had been born within her heart.
[We've already done enough by lending our body to White Seele. If I'm just doing things to my own body, do I really need to consider her feelings?]
This 'Dark Seele' seductively cupped Seele's cheek, its jelly-like, rosy thin lips parting slightly, offering a terrifying temptation towards the forbidden.
If the character card had summoned the actual person, even Caelus, who was currently treading the Path of Joy, wouldn't have let himself go this wild.
But the problem was, this body was completely and utterly hers!
She had 100% ownership!
Lending the body to White Seele was because she was kind!
Being a good person only to have a gun pointed at you – was this fair?
[No!]
Seele shook her head forcefully, dislodging the 'Dark Seele's' gentle touch.
[That's not the issue here!]
As the owner of the body, she certainly had the right to do anything she wanted with it.
It was like a guy whose desires were stoked by stumbling upon a certain kind of film that hit just the right spot, but he happened to live in a university dorm, and his roommate next door kept striking up conversations.
In that situation, even a true warrior wouldn't dare make a move, right?
"My parallel self, if you have any worries, please tell me, okay? Even though Seele is weak, I'll definitely do my best to help you!"
"So, Seele, do you want to check out the new house's floor plan with me?"
Seele was currently experiencing a unique kind of icy-hot torture. The impulses and curiosity within her heart burned like a scorching fire, threatening to ignite her, while White Seele's innocent and naive concern was like a cold rain cooling her down.
"Hmm?"
White Seele sounded puzzled at those words, tilting her head cutely.
"My parallel self, haven't we already looked at the room's layout?"
"Yes, we have."
Pressing her hands against the wall, Seele knocked her forehead against the frosted glass twice, hard.
She completely blocked her telepathic connection to White Seele, preventing her from sensing her thoughts.
A person can't… shouldn't… at least not in front of White Seele…
It was only when faced with the angelically pure and innocent White Seele that Caelus found it hard to lead her astray. If it had been any other Valkyrie, Caelus would have started studying the 'floor plan structure' long ago.
Is it south-facing with good ventilation?
Does it have three sunny spots? (A pun referring to 'three yangs ushering in prosperity', likely hinting at examining certain body parts.)
"I'm just… a little tired."
A few transparent water droplets traced glistening curves down her spine. Seele gently caressed her own arm, sliding down the smooth white limb towards the Stigmata on her chest.
She rubbed her body, an undoubtedly normal action while bathing, yet it felt strangely stiff.
"Wait, my… my pa-pa-parallel self, you… washing like this… don't you think…"
A flustered voice echoed in her mind. White Seele felt her body starting to feel a bit strange.
"Then I'll rub somewhere else?"
I'll conduct the major research after White Seele goes back. For now, let's just take a bath!
A new body needs proper maintenance!
Got to wash meticulously, every single corner!
"Eh, mmph, wait, where… nowhere seems right, does it? That… that place… doesn't need to be washed so thoroughly, right?"
The shy whimper carried a faint tremor.
White Seele tried hard to close her eyes, to not look at herself in the mirror.
However, everything White Seele did was useless!
After all, she had zero 'ownership' of this body. She could only watch helplessly as her parallel self meticulously cleansed every inch of the body~!
"Nope, Seele. When taking a bath, you have to wash your body completely clean~"
Seele turned a deaf ear to White Seele's pleas, the conflicted look on her face gradually melting into an amused smile.
White Seele's reaction was entertaining her.
She could somewhat understand those people who liked to 'tease' little lolitas now.
Ding~!
"My parallel self, your phone seems to have a notification."
Sharing the sense of hearing, White Seele heard the message tone and reminded Seele, hoping to make her stop this strange way of bathing.
"It's probably Silver Wolf. Ignore her."
White Seele: "…"
…
"Hooo!"
Lying in bed, Caelus took several deep breaths, trying to suppress the distracting thoughts in his mind. He was already trying very hard to restrain his instincts aligned with the Path of Joy.
I must defeat the inner Dark Seele (Lust Demon)!
Yes! Yes!
Big Brother! Use this!
This one's potent!
Caelus's supportive 'little brother' immediately rushed forward to offer assistance, like the monkeys of Flower-Fruit Mountain presenting the Sea-Fixing Divine Needle to the Great Sage.
You damn…!
Caelus wanted to scold him, but this was his own 'little brother'. Could he, the elder brother, not know if he was acting in his best interest?
Tragic!
Lamentable!
Such fervent loyalty from his little brother!
Gripping the divine weapon capable of stirring the waters of the four seas, Caelus ultimately couldn't bring himself to strike.
Hehe, the Dark Seele (Lust Demon)'s little hands… small, soft, and fragrant!
Just as Caelus was resisting the 'Dark Seele's' temptation with great willpower, he suddenly remembered he had another treasure.
He immediately opened the system interface, navigated to the equipment screen, and found the ordinary Learning Chip.
"Come, Dark Seele, I need you to aid my training!"
Click, Use!
The next second, like a bursting dam, countless battle scenes and experiences flooded Caelus's mind, drowning out all other distracting thoughts.
The Learning Chip wasn't just a cramming method that poured experience into the brain. It generated virtual enemies in a dreamscape to battle the user until they completely digested the chip's contents.
Thus, Caelus began a real, tangible fight against the imaginary Dark Seele.
He had quieted down on his end, but don't forget, Caelus and Stelle are essentially one person.
Due to system mechanics priority, the tactile sensations from Seele's body wouldn't sync to Stelle, but that didn't mean Stelle was uninvolved.
Stelle could hear the supportive cheers of Caelus's 'little brother'.
Big Sister!
Big Brother has gone to vanquish demons!
Big Sister! I can only rely on you now!
In her sleep, Stelle seemed to hear someone hugging her leg and crying, and along with the feeling of her leg being held, there was a strange sensation she had never experienced before.
Although strange, it felt very comfortable!
Instinctively, Stelle reached her hand under the covers.
The Great Sage?
Caelus can be him?
Why can't she?
She didn't have a divine weapon, but she could make up for lack of quality with technique!
Eat my Great Wasteland Heaven-Imprisoning Finger!
First Finger, Imprisons the Underworld~!
Second Finger, Shatters Mountains and Rivers~!
Third Finger, Extinguishes All Life~!
Fourth Finger, Rends the Firmament~!
Fifth Finger, Moves Heaven and Earth~!
