Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

"Seele, you haven't been tricked by this scoundrel again, have you?!"

Upon hearing this, Seele immediately became agitated, and her pretty face hardened as she reprimanded, "Listen carefully, Seele."

While longer isn't always better in these situations, if the time is too short, you'll definitely miss out on a lot of happiness later on.

Even if skill can compensate for some things, time is still extremely important; we absolutely can't be careless like this!

As she spoke, Seele couldn't help but clench her teeth, her gaze towards the person growing increasingly resentful, as if she would summon her chain claws to tear him to shreds at any moment.

Shihen: "???"

No, do you want to reflect on what you're actually saying?

They're both Seele, but your thinking is jumping around way too far.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party hadn't entered his fishpond and that Seele was still nearby, he would have definitely made Seele know the price of provoking him!

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Seele's face froze for a moment, her eyes filled with even more confusion. Countless thoughts tangled together like a ball of yarn. After a long while, she shook her head, forcibly pulling herself out of her increasingly chaotic thoughts, and said, "But if we don't hurry, Kiana and the others might be back soon."

By then, even if we wanted to leave, we wouldn't be able to.

Even though she lost the power of the End, Kiana still retains the authority of the Herrscher of the Void, and no one can be faster than her.

Once Kiana gets involved, they'll never be able to lead the boy out of this abyss.

"Oh dear! I already told you, Kiana and the others aren't coming back!"

Seeing that Seele still looked incredibly innocent, Seele became furious.

They've already reached the very core of this underground battlefield, so why is this guy still pretending to be stupid?

Using something like a boy being secretly harmed and imprisoned by Kiana as an excuse to fool others is one thing, but refusing to tell her the truth is a bit much.

This idiot doesn't even consider that with that big liar's abilities, how could Kiana, a fool who gets completely fooled, possibly lock him up?

Even if she thought like a heavy bunny, she could tell that these people must have been fighting together until the world turned upside down!

Seele's stubborn desire to find the boy, coupled with that ridiculously absurd reason... is clearly a signal that she wants to join the battle!

Thinking of this, Seele didn't know what to say to Kiana and the others.

Even if it's because someone is too promiscuous, isn't it a bit too hasty to just let Seele join the battle?

What if Seele gets terribly bullied by that big liar?

What's even more outrageous is that Seele actually asked her to keep watch outside the door!?

She had come along out of concern that Seele would be bullied by Kiana or someone else, but this idiot not only didn't thank her properly, but also shamelessly let her eavesdrop?

Although she couldn't hear a thing because the basement door was so soundproof, the torment she was experiencing was not diminished in the slightest.

Because of her overly vivid imagination, she suffered even more torment than when she was eavesdropping.

Just imagining Seele being posed in various positions by the boy in a secret room just a door away, and seeing all sorts of expressions she had never seen before, made Seele's teeth itch with rage. She wished she could just break down the door and stop these two shameless guys.

But ultimately, she couldn't do anything...

Why aren't Kiana and the others coming back?

Not knowing how many thoughts had flashed through the mind of her other self, Seele tilted her head and asked in a clear voice, her sea-blue eyes filled with incomprehension and confusion.

"you--"

Seeing Seele's posture as a rhetorical question, Seele's already fuller breasts bulged even more forcefully, as if they would burst like balloons at any moment.

"Alright, since time is of the essence, let's get out of here quickly."

Shihen hurriedly interjected.

He felt that if he let the two Seeles continue talking, the atmosphere would explode sooner or later.

"Captain Hen is right, let's hurry up and go, [Seele]."

Hearing this, Seele quickly put aside her doubts and smiled as she advised her other self.

"Humph!"

Responding in a cold tone, [Seele] crossed her arms and turned her head to the side, her eyes still full of resentment as she looked at the boy.

Not only did he defile Seele, but he also took advantage of her ignorance to instill wrong ideas in her... If Seele hadn't been there, she would have already hung this big liar up and tortured him in every way possible.

"what……"

Sensing the intense hostility in [Seele's] gaze, Shihen could only smile helplessly.

He believed that if he really explained everything to the girl, she would be so ashamed that she would explode on the spot.

Therefore, for the sake of Seele's physical and mental well-being, let her figure it out on her own.

Swah——

Unlike the other two who had many thoughts on their minds, Seele truly treated this mission as an escape, and with a wave of her hand, she summoned the Heavy Bunny in its vehicle form.

Although she had given Bronya the entire special weapon after realizing her fondness for the Heavy Bunny, she specifically retrieved it from Bronya for this mission to save the boy.

"Tsk! This thing can't possibly seat three people!"

After glancing at the heavily armored bunny in its motorcycle form and then at the two people beside her, Seele immediately spoke with a disdainful tone.

Even if you squeeze in, this car can easily accommodate three people.

But the thought of the boy having just done that kind of thing with Seele, and his body possibly still covered in all sorts of sweat, made her absolutely unwilling to have any intimate contact with him.

"Hehe... [Seele] You're right."

An awkward smile appeared on her face, and Seele nodded slightly in response, her eyes immediately showing a thoughtful expression, "Since that's the case..."

As she spoke, Seele's little hands emitted a faint glow.

Swah——

Lights illuminated the motorcycle, and an extra seat instantly appeared on the side of the heavy-duty bunny.

“[Seele], you are lighter, so you can sit here.”

She pointed to the newly appeared side seat and said with a smile.

[Seele]: "Huh?"

She clearly had a share in this heavily armed bunny, and it was the most valuable initial investment. But now, for the sake of a liar who can't even last ten minutes in battle, you're going to kick me into a corner and then watch you two hugging and cuddling in the car?!

PS: Chirp...

Chapter Twenty: On this day, [Seele] received the bishop's inheritance.

On the other side, standing on the rooftop of the manor above the secret room, Kiana and Mei stared in stunned silence at the blue figure speeding away in the distance.

"Kiana, can you explain what's going on?"

With a slight smile, Mei's body was crackling with electricity, and her long black hair, which had been neatly tied up, was now flowing freely with each strand standing up. She exuded an incredibly terrifying and dangerous aura.

After noticing that the two Seeles had sneaked nearby, she originally intended to step in and persuade them to leave.

After all, this place has become a military stronghold where battles rage every day, and it is really not suitable for an outsider like Seele to participate.

But just as she was about to step forward, Kiana offered a different opinion.

The other party relayed Bronya's request that Seele had repeatedly attempted to access this place, and based on this, concluded that Seele was also an insider.

According to the principle of protecting new players, even though the basement play is advanced content and not suitable for newcomers, Seele is still entitled to participate in it.

After listening to Kiana's explanation, Mei still had many things she didn't understand, but once she realized Seele's insider status, she could only reluctantly accept the plan to let Seele join the game.

After all, with Wendy and the others already there, it doesn't seem like Seele getting involved is something that's absolutely intolerable.

Besides, if we're really talking about relationships, Seele is actually closer to Wendy and the others.

So even though the boy had never mentioned this before, even though Seele brought another Seele with her as soon as she appeared in an attempt to unlock the three-person mode, even though Seele seemed to have no intention of meeting them or paying her respects... in short, Seele had already come all this way, so the possibility that the other party was an innocent party was actually quite small.

Moreover, although she did not participate in the battle, Bronya, as one of the witnesses when the boy was imprisoned, also knew the truth.

Since Bronya agreed to this, Seele must have known about it as well.

It's impossible that Bronya accidentally let it slip and then couldn't find a reason to cover it up, making Seele think that the boy was imprisoned by them, right?

Having finally convinced herself to accept the fact that the number of young fish in the pond had increased by one... or rather, two, Mei originally planned to wait until Seele was done before having a proper conversation with her, at least to agree on the time allotted for using the young fish.

But the result...

She always seemed so gentle and weak, like someone who could be easily bullied, but Seele was so arrogant that she ignored their presence and took the boy away to eat all by herself!?

Watching that blue phantom hurtle away, Mei couldn't help but break down a little.

Naturally, instead of targeting Seele who was already far away, she turned her attention to Kiana, who was still standing nearby.

Judging from Kiana's cover for Seele, she has good reason to suspect that Seele was also one of the participants in this matter.

"Um... if I said I didn't expect things to turn out this way either, Mei, would you believe me?"

Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from the Thunder Queen, Kiana subconsciously took a half step back, her body involuntarily shrinking back.

She could swear on her extraordinary wisdom that she truly never expected Seele to do such a thing.

When she saw Seele bring another Seele with her on her first appearance, she was actually quite shocked.

Even though she had once suspected that Seele might have found this place because of some misunderstanding, after all, Seele didn't seem like the kind of person who would actively come looking for a boy because of something like this.

Given Seele's personality, she would be better suited to spend that unforgettable night in a cozy little house by the sea, accompanied by the gentle whispers of the waves and countless tender words.

But when Kiana saw Seele also coming along, she immediately realized she was wrong.

Moreover, she was completely wrong!

Faced with a powerful figure who dared to immediately activate multiplayer mode upon first appearance, any doubt she had only reflected her own weakness and insignificance.

You should know that although she was also put on top of Mei when she first entered the new world, she didn't even dare to look at Mei at all back then.

Even though she is now a seasoned elite, Kiana still feels like a greenhorn compared to Seele.

The difference in their level of awareness is simply too great.

Even though she had elevated Seele's beliefs to an unrealistic level, Kiana realized that she had still underestimated her.

What Seele truly wants is far more than just the three-player mode!

But... can't Seele think more before eating alone?

All the peaceful and idyllic moments in this world are only possible because others are bearing the burden for us.

As the price for Seele's happy life, she has to take responsibility for losing the boy.

Even though she had already unlocked most of the two-player game modes, she had made a promise with Mei, Durandal, and others to try out a multiplayer dungeon in a few days to give the boy a proper challenge.

Now that the key prop is missing, she's bound to get a good scolding from everyone.

Instead of worrying about whether I believe it or not, you should think more about how to explain these things to Durandal.

Seeing the white fluffy ball trembling like this, Mei simply shook her head and looked at a golden meteor streaking across the sky.

Unlike Wendy and others who come on a whim and have little routine, the strongest Valkyrie maintains considerable self-discipline in this matter, and almost always visits here every six days.

As for why the other party doesn't use a seven-day cycle... it's because this female knight always stays in the secret room for a whole day, and only when the next day arrives will she ride away on Krishna with satisfaction.

"..."

As Kiana watched the rapidly approaching golden light, her face fell even more.

As always, the strongest Valkyrie, who was extremely sensitive about such matters, did not choose to have a proper exchange of experiences with her younger sister. Instead, she went directly to the basement, intending to have a life-or-death final showdown with the boy.

The sound of horses neighing rang out, and Kiana and Mei watched together as the golden light, as brilliant as the sun, disappeared underground, and then...

A terrifying, oppressive aura, like a storm, suddenly rose up.

"bud……"

Sensing the intense resentment emanating from the strongest Valkyrie, Kiana immediately looked to her best friend for help.

"Ah, I suddenly remembered that the headmistress asked me to make some promotional materials for St. Freya. Goodbye, Kiana!"

Without giving the girl a chance to speak, Mei spoke at lightning speed.

Although in some ways, Durandal has a remarkably good temperament and manners.

Unless someone truly crosses the line of this strongest Valkyrie, Durandal wouldn't do anything to them even if they spoke ill of her to her face.
