"Mommy, if there's something you want say, just say it~" Sirin said with a sweet smile.
Then, Cecilia told Sirin about their plan to send her to St. Freya Academy for school and asked her for her opinion on the matter.
As soon as she heard it, Sirin immediately shook her head and refused, "I... don't want to go to school for now."
However, upon seeing the slightly disappointed expressions on the two of them, Sirin quickly added, "Mommy, I'm a bit afraid of unfamiliar environments, so I want to take some more time to adjust…"
Looking at the pitiful Sirin, Cecilia didn't press any further.
She gently patted Sirin's head and comforted her, "Since Sirin doesn't want to go, then let's not~ Daddy and Mommy aren't the kind of parents who'd force their child."
To this, Sirin once again showed Cecilia a sweet smile.
"Thank you, Mommy!"
In truth, her thoughts had already flown to the far ends of the sky.
What a joke! If she really went to school, how would she have time to play with Bella and the others? And even less time to look for Van's whereabouts.
'Hmph! St. Freya Academy? Only a fool would go!'
Thinking that, Sirin sighed again in her heart.
'Van, where on earth are you…'

After finishing washing up, Siegfried returned to the bedroom and found Cecilia still sitting by the bed, staring blankly.
Seeing this, Siegfried slowly walked over and asked gently, "What's wrong? Still worried about Sirin?"
Cecilia gently nodded, her face filled with concern. "I think maybe we were being a bit naive earlier. I used to think Sirin's sensibility came naturally, but now I realize... maybe it's just a protective color she gave herself…"
Seeing his wife looking so worried, Siegfried scratched his head in distress.
To be honest, when it came to raising children, he was still not very good at it.
Of course, excluding that Kiana girl…
'Wait, Kiana!'
Thinking of his daughter, Siegfried suddenly had a flash of inspiration and clapped his hands,
"Cecilia, I've thought of a way, a way that lets Sirin not go to school, but still make friends!"
Cecilia quickly asked, "Really?"
"Of course!" Siegfried said proudly, "Look, isn't Kiana about to be on vacation? Then we can totally ask her to bring her friends home to hang out!"
Siegfried became more and more excited as he spoke, "This way, it won't go against Sirin's wishes, and she'll be able to interact more with people her age, which will reduce her fear of unfamiliar environments."
After hearing Siegfried's idea, Cecilia clapped her thigh in excitement. "Dear, your plan might actually work!"
To this, Siegfried kept a smile on his face… But behind her back, he subtly rubbed the thigh that had just been smacked red.
'Tsss~ Why does it feel like Cecilia's hand strength keeps getting stronger?' Siegfried thought.
So, the two of them immediately contacted Kiana and asked if she had time during the break to bring her friends over to visit.
After receiving Kiana's definite answer, the couple finally felt at ease.
Of course, in order to give Kiana a surprise, they didn't tell her about adopting Sirin yet.
Thinking about it, Siegfried smiled and said, "I really can't wait to see Kiana's expression when she sees Sirin. I still remember how she used to keep pestering us for a little sister when she was younger~"
To that, Cecilia also smiled, "Let's hope they get along well."

[Elsewhere, Inside the Girls' Dormitory at St. Freya Academy]
After hanging up the call with her parents, Kiana went from the balcony back to the living room.
Raiden Mei, Bronya, and Seele were all gathered around the coffee table, where there was freshly brewed coffee and a few small snacks.
"I'm back!"
As she spoke, Kiana casually grabbed a small cake and stuffed it into her mouth. "What were you all talking about? Did I miss any juicy gossip? Cough cough cough…"
"Slow down, don't choke."
Raiden Mei quickly poured her a glass of water, and only after Kiana finished drinking did she continue, "We were just talking about holiday plans."
"Speaking of holidays!"
Kiana's sky-blue eyes suddenly lit up. "My mom and dad just called, asking if I want to bring some friends home to hang out! Are you all free?"
Raiden Mei smiled and nodded. "Of course I have time, Kiana."
"Awesome!" Kiana cheered and immediately pounced over to hug Raiden Mei.
"I knew Mei was the best! That means we get to spend the whole break together again!"
On the other side, Bronya's expression suddenly became a bit awkward as she watched the two interact.
Kiana noticed and asked in confusion, "Bronya, what's wrong?"
Seele softly explained beside her, "Sorry, Kiana… Earlier, Bronya promised me that when she had time, we'd go visit the welfare center in Siberia and see everyone there…"
"I see…"
Kiana scratched her head and said, "It's fine! You two go take care of that first. I'll be home all break anyway, so you're always welcome to visit!"
To that, Bronya nodded seriously and said, "Once we finish things on our end, we'll head to Changkong City. We'll definitely come find you then."
"Great!" Kiana replied cheerfully, "Then I'll be waiting for your grand arrival~"
After a while, Kiana suddenly remembered something and took out her phone.
"Oh right! I'll ask the class rep and the others if they want to come too!"
As Kiana dashed out to make her calls, the living room suddenly became quiet.
Not long after, Kiana came running back, full of excitement, "The class rep says they're free too! This is great, now it'll be even livelier!"
On the other side, Raiden Mei glanced thoughtfully at Seele, or more precisely, at the other Seele inside her.
Thinking about how the other Seele reacted strangely when she saw Van at noon, Raiden Mei silently sighed in her heart.
From the previously exposed video, it could be seen that there was also some unclear relationship between the other Seele and Van.
Looking at it this way, rather than crossing the End, Van clearly had more talent in how to attract girls.
She wondered if the other Seele would regret her decision once she found out Van would also be going to Kiana's house.
