The socially awkward villain's furry superpower

When Sienna woke up, she felt something heavy and warm pressing down on her side. Then, she noticed breathing sounds near her back.

She blinked, stretched her neck, and looked down sleepily, only to see that the remaining space on the bed was occupied by two people.

Teddy lay sprawled out, one leg draped over Sienna and the other dangling off the edge of the bed. Her elbow was against Sienna's stomach, and her head rested in the hollow between Sienna's shoulder and neck.

She turned her head and saw Athena curled up in a fetal position, tightly hugging Sienna's free arm.

She sighed. This behavior was inappropriate.

However, it's quite comfortable and warm.

She shifted her body until Teddy's elbow moved off her, and then, very slowly, she drifted back into a dreamless sleep.

When she woke up again, sunlight streamed in through the only window in the room. Sienna groaned and tried to move, but somehow the two girls had turned around and were now hugging her tightly from both sides.

She stared at the ceiling for a while; yesterday was truly... eventful.

Threatening others, hunting down Aleya Iakta, and all that with Handshaw.

Today must be just an ordinary day.

She has class in the afternoon, but she might still have time to send her mother a text message. She hasn't sent one for several days; she knows how much her mother worries.

However, all of this has one major advantage.

[Name: Sienna Isabella]

[Faction: Villain]

[Level: Level 1]

[Ability: Sister Summoning]

[Sister Creation Level: 2]

[Sister Teleportation Level: 1]

[Double Trouble Level: Level 3]

[Healing Touch Level: 4]

[Ability Slots: 0]

Skill upgrade attempts: 1

Skill Slots: 1

A new skill slot. Essentially, it's a new free skill that can be used to upgrade her existing abilities.

If things develop according to the established pattern, this new skill could mean having another younger sister, yet another person who needs her care.

Teddy mumbled something in his sleep and buried his face even deeper into Sienna's side.

Sienna thought that having another younger sister might not be so bad.

Would you be willing to spend a skill point on the "Sister Summoning" ability?

Sienna stared at the prompt for a long time. She was bound to use it eventually, and in many ways, it was better to use it sooner rather than later.

She could feel a sense of security from her younger sisters. It wasn't something tangible; she knew it was more like…

They trusted her? They believed her completely and utterly. No one had ever done that before.

Of course, her mother cares about her, and her father will pat her on the back and encourage her to do her best, but they always say one thing and do another.

They were constantly on their guard, extremely careful, afraid that something might go wrong.

She couldn't blame them; there were indeed quite a few problems. Even at her best, she was rather clumsy in terms of physical coordination and social skills.

She messes up many things when it comes to speaking.

Interpersonal interactions and complex conversations scare her quite a bit.

She's much better now and a bit more confident. She's already trying to live independently and experiencing university life.

This is the level of goal she set for herself.

Was it because of her abilities? Or because of her sisters?

Perhaps it was just rambling under pressure, or perhaps it was because of the small victories she kept achieving, but she felt... much better.

She felt more confident in herself. Although there were some things she didn't particularly like, Sienna smiled at the ceiling.

It would be great to have another younger sister.

"willing."

New skill unlocked! Triple threat!

[Sister Summoning Level: 3]

[You are allowed to use the "Create Sisters" skill to summon a third sister. Available immediately.]

Activation method: Voice command

No cooldown time

[Maximum number of new sisters that can be summoned: 1]

Just as she expected, every other skill was related to creating a new sister.

Knowing this is quite useful.

This model may change in the future, but for now, it's not something to worry about.

Sienna wondered if she should wait.

She was still wearing yesterday's clothes, covered with a blanket, with two little "shadows" clinging to her, and her hair was probably a complete mess.

This is not the kind of thing that makes a good first impression.

However, her other two sisters don't seem to care about any of this.

“Create sisters,” Sienna murmured.

A bright light flashed, signaling the imminent arrival of her third sister, and she was overjoyed.

But then, another light appeared next to the first, and her excitement turned into confusion.

When the third ray of light appeared, the lingering excitement came to an abrupt end, as if it had crashed into a brick wall at high speed.

The three girls gradually came into view.

No, Sienna realized. It wasn't three girls, but the same girl appearing three times.

They were a little shorter than Teddy and only a little taller than Athena, and they were all wearing gray hoodies and jeans, paired with ordinary black sneakers.

Their round little ears on their heads are somewhat similar to those of a teddy bear, but their big, fluffy, gray tails with black ring patterns are completely different.

The three girls blinked at the same time, their eyes fixed on the bed, then they flashed bright, silly smiles, revealing a few small, sharp teeth peeking out from their other teeth.

"Hug the pile!" they shouted, leaping into the air.

"Wait!" Sienna shouted, but they had already jumped to the highest point.

The three small—thankfully light—slammed into Sienna and the other two girls. Elbows and knees swung wildly.

Athena was woken up and cried out in annoyance, while Teddy roared and started kicking things out.

After a period of chaos, somehow the situation finally calmed down.

Sienna felt two arms wrap around her neck, and a new face approached her. "Hi!" the girl said.

“Uh,” Sienna replied, “Hi?”

Another head appeared in Sienna's line of sight, its ears twitching and its large eyes blinking rapidly. "Hi!" the second head said.

"Hi?"

“You’ve already said hello,” the first girl said.

"I... I already fought?"

She felt like the air was being squeezed out of her lungs as the third girl climbed onto the back of the girl on top of her, peeking out from her sister's shoulders. "Yeah! You said hello."

Sienna was about to tell them to get off her when Teddy yelled and jumped up from the bedside. "You woke me up!" she said. "Get off!"

Then the bed tilted and Teddy started to fall, but before she fell, she grabbed a new little sister and they both crashed onto the mattress with a thud.

Sienna quickly leaned over to look at the bedside, which made the girl holding her scream and roll onto Athena.

"Are you all alright?" she asked the pile of arms and legs on the ground, which included a teddy bear and a new girl.

"I'm fine," Teddy mumbled.

"Yes! I'm fine!"

Sienna sat on the edge of the bed, rubbed her eyes, and then sighed. "Okay. I think we're all awake now. Could...could you please line up?"

"Me?" the girl who was still holding Sienna asked.

“Yes, please,” Sienna said. “We need to, uh, get things sorted out.”

For example, how should she take care of her three younger sisters? Or how should she feed them? Or how should she buy them clothes?

Sienna's heart sank.

She looked up and noticed that the three new girls were standing in a row, shoulder to shoulder, with the same smile on their faces.

“Okay,” Sienna said. She moved to sit on the edge of the bed.

Athena walked over and sat down next to her, resting her head on Sienna's shoulder while rubbing her eyes. Teddy rolled over and used Sienna's legs as a backrest.

Sienna took a deep breath. “Okay,” she repeated, “um. I’m Sienna. This is Teddy, and this is Athena.”

"Hi!" the three girls said in unison, "I don't have a name yet."

“Yes,” Sienna said, “we need to think of names for the three of you.” Perhaps some themed names? She couldn’t just call them Number One, Number Two, and Number Three.

The girls blinked, then shook their heads. "No, there's only one me."

"what?"

“Yes!” said the one in the middle. “That’s me,” she said, pointing to the girl next to her. “That’s me too.” She then pointed to the girl on the other side.

"Are you clones?" Sienna asked.

"No! I just have three bodies."

"But... there are three of you."

"Yes. Three of me."

Sienna tried to understand what was going on, but her mind was completely blank. "Okay? So... do you... know what you're thinking?"

"I always know what I'm thinking. But usually I don't have many thoughts."

"No, I mean, the rest... what are you thinking?"

"But there's only one me."

Sienna pointed to the three girls in front of her, "But you have three bodies."

They nodded. "That's right," the three of them said in unison.

Sienna stared for a while, then let herself fall back. "I haven't had enough sleep yet, I can't handle this."

"Hugs!" Three cheers rang out, and Sienna was immediately engulfed. Teddy and Athena then began vying for a spot on her.

She felt that today was going to be a long day.
