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

Seeing the crimson scene unfolding before her eyes, Seele's pupils dilated in shock, her expression as if the world was about to collapse.

Not long ago, she was worried about the relationship between the boy and her other self; she never imagined that the two of them would turn out like this.

How did it all begin? This relationship between the two...

She has a best friend for life and a gentle and reliable older brother; this should be a double blessing.

But why... why...

"Idiot! What are you still standing there for? Come in!"

Seeing Seele still standing there like a fool, Seele couldn't help but scold her in a cute voice.

"Huh? Can I come in too?"

Seeing her other self clearly about to do something bad, Seele was even more stunned.

Normally, shouldn't she have quietly returned to her room at this point, then huddled under the covers pretending she knew nothing?

At most, she would just press her ear against the wall to listen to the sounds.

But now, [Seele] actually wants her to observe it live!?

"Nonsense! Where else do you think you're going?!"

Seeing Seele's utterly shocked expression, Seele immediately became enraged.

That idiot, who does she think she did this for?!

If it weren't for wanting to remain best friends with Seele for life, and to help her other self see the frail nature of youth, would she have gone to such lengths?

"I……"

She instinctively wanted to answer "my own room," but faced with Seele's angry, disappointed gaze, she didn't dare to say it. Instead, she dragged herself into the room as if she were sinking into some kind of quagmire.

"Idiot! Close the door too! Do you want the whole orphanage to hear you?"

Seeing the blue-haired girl who had entered like a quail and immediately huddled in the corner, [Seele]'s anger intensified.

"Oh……"

Upon hearing this, her mind went even more blank, and Seele could only obey like a puppet, closing the door tightly.

"Come over here! Why are you standing so far away!?"

Seeing Seele silently shrink into the corner after closing the door, Seele couldn't help but curse angrily.

I've already done everything I should and shouldn't have done with this big liar, and now you're pretending to be innocent with me? Doesn't that make my understanding seem ridiculous?

"what……"

Upon hearing this, Seele's mouth gaped open, and her entire brain and scalp tingled with fear.

If the other person is shameless, at least they know to close the door before doing something bad.

But if her other self is reserved and demure, the other person insists that she observe in person, and she can't even stand a little further away.

For a moment, Seele had no idea who she was, where she was, or what she should do. She could only blindly follow the commands of her other self and slowly move to the bedside. Her sea-blue eyes had completely lost their luster and were completely unfocused.

"Seele, what are you doing?"

The boy, who was standing nearby, finally realized what was happening and asked in confusion.

Although he had already had various battles with many girls, the scene before him still left him somewhat bewildered.

Putting aside why Seele would want to join the battle, the other Seele clearly shouldn't be here either, right?

"Stop talking nonsense! A coward should act like a coward. You just lie there and that's enough!"

With a delicate voice, [Xi'er] glared angrily at the boy.

Being able to make up her mind and take action was already the limit for her. To ask her to explain her emotional journey to the boy in front of Seele... didn't she have any pride?

As she was thinking, [Seele] grabbed the boy's clothes with one hand, a flash of red light in her eyes, and the clothes in her hand were immediately... completely undamaged.

Even though he hadn't reacted to Seele's forceful kiss because he habitually restrained his power, once the boy came to his senses, not only Seele, but even Durandal would find it difficult to make him remove his armor if he didn't cooperate.

"It's too early for you to be thinking about this, [Seele]."

Looking directly into the girl's red eyes, Shi Hen spoke earnestly, word by word.

Undeniably, with an appearance that shares the same origin as Seele, Seele's beauty is beyond question.

Especially when the girl's cheeks are flushed with shyness and her full breasts tremble with her rapid breathing, it makes one want to push her down so that she can show more of her shy and cute side.

But if Shihen really does that, then he has truly disregarded his own bottom line.

Even without using the power of the Cocoon of the End to read Seele's mind, he couldn't know what kind of feelings the girl harbored for him.

But Shihen is certain that, at least for now, the emotions driving [Seele] to take a series of actions are not true love.

"Ha! Utterly hypocritical liar!"

"You say I can't, but does that mean Seele can?!"

Meeting the boy's solemn gaze, [Seele] cried out as if on the verge of collapse, her blood-red eyes simultaneously becoming moist.

Since she became conscious, she has been one with [Seele], and she never imagined that there would be a day when she would be separated from her.

Even though she and Seele were physically separated during the Herrscher of Dominion incident, their hearts remained connected.

Until... a boy appeared and took Seele away.

The mere thought of drifting further and further away from Seele until she completely disappeared from her life drove Seele to the brink of madness, causing her to tear apart and destroy everything around her.

How could she possibly accept a future where she'd be separated from Seele? How could she possibly accept it?!

No matter the cost, she is determined to protect her future with Seele.

Even if it's all I have!

"Huh? Me? Me?"

Unsure how the topic had suddenly shifted to her, Seele asked in confusion.

"Idiot! You've already... you're with this liar..."

She was about to curse instinctively, but then a certain possibility flashed through her mind, and [Seele] froze instantly.

What if Seele has always been telling the truth, without any excuses or lies?

In an instant, as if her entire body had been petrified, Seele was completely stunned and stood there in a daze.

"..."

Naturally noticing the changes in the girl on his body, Shihen couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

He had been thinking of waiting until he left the orphanage before slowly bringing Seele to her senses, so that at least she wouldn't be completely devastated.

But now...

Lifting the now unresponsive Seele from his body, Shihen looked at the blue-haired girl beside him, who still seemed bewildered, and asked, "Seele, would you like to be with me?"

He asked softly, his tone more serious than ever before.

Although tonight's events started with a misunderstanding, now that things have come to this point, Shihen naturally has no intention of giving up halfway.

"Together..."

Upon hearing this, Seele immediately panicked, her eyes darting around aimlessly.

Yes, together!

Just like Kiana and the others.

Of course, if you don't want to, I can make you forget everything that happened tonight.

Shihen explained earnestly, while walking towards Xier step by step.

"Well……"

Upon hearing this, Seele subconsciously lowered her head and began to ponder, countless thoughts rapidly surfacing and intertwining in her mind.

She had always regarded the boy as an older brother, like Bronya.

Therefore, when Kiana appeared, she always supported their relationship and has never wavered until now.

But now...

Feeling the boy approaching step by step, Seele couldn't help but want to retreat and run away, so that their relationship could remain unchanged.

But then she thought of how the boy had spent time with Kiana, and of the boy's "set sail" not long ago. Seele suddenly felt as if something was blocking her heart, and a strange power surged up, supporting her as if she were rooted to the spot.

"It seems you've already made your choice, Seele."

Finally reaching the girl, Shihen looked at the blue-haired girl who hadn't wavered an inch and was immediately filled with pity.

"Captain Hen..."

Looking up at the boy's face, Seele's lips parted slightly as if she wanted to say something, and her sea-blue eyes were misty and full of tenderness.

Looking at the girl's rosy and adorable face, Shihen no longer hesitated and gently leaned down to press his lips to the girl's delicate cherry-colored lips, which were as beautiful as flowers.

"Um~"

She couldn't help but let out a soft sob, and her delicate body trembled, but she still restrained her endless shyness and tried her best to respond to the boy's advances.

……

After a long while, their lips parted, and Seele's face had turned completely red, like a fully cooked shrimp.

"I don't think I need to ask you the same question again, right, Black Seele?"

Turning his head to look at [Xier], who had barely regained her senses, Shihen asked with a light laugh.

"Damn bastard!"

In response, Seele simply glared at the boy with a hint of annoyance.

He claimed there was some misunderstanding between him and Seele, but then he turned around and snagged her. Could this guy be any more shameless?!

As if sensing the girl's inner complaints, Shihen chose to respond with practical actions.

"Eh???"

In an instant, she felt Seele being laid down and pressed on top of her, and Seele was also stunned.

Although she had been incredibly proactive before, her understanding of such matters only came from some pictures she had seen by chance, and her knowledge base was pitifully small compared to Seele's. Therefore, Seele had absolutely no idea what the boy wanted to do.

But soon, Seele understood the meaning behind the boy's actions.

Clasp her fingers tightly in the hand of her other self, and Seele couldn't help but open her mouth wide, her blood-red eyes losing all color once more.

That night, both Seeles opened the door to a new world.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Bronya: I can't do anything...

"Um~"

Bronya looked up from the mountain of Alahato documents and couldn't help but stretch, her soft, girlish body extending into a curve without any unnecessary undulations.

Feeling her fatigue subside, Bronya glanced at the time on her computer and couldn't help but hesitate.

Although she had long been determined to ask Kiana about Seele's condition, when the moment actually arrived, Bronya found herself unable to take action.

After all, what was placed in front of her at this moment was not an ordinary cell phone, but a Schrödinger's box that could very well open up infinite darkness.

If she doesn't investigate the truth, she can at least convince herself that nothing happened.

But once the facts were laid bare before her, she could no longer find any excuses.

After struggling and hesitating for a long time, Bronya finally picked up her phone and dialed the number she had saved in her contacts.

?——

After a series of cheerful ringtones, the call was answered.

"Hello? Is this Kiana? You were at that manor today... no, it should be yesterday, weren't you?"

Bronya asked softly, then quickly changed her answer, taking into account the time difference between the two places.

According to the information she knew, unlike Mei and Wendy who were scattered all over the world, Kiana, who had no fixed mission and possessed the authority of the Herrscher of the Void, was almost always stationed in the manor and was also responsible for coordinating the combat frequency of everyone.

From this perspective, the other party is indeed a veritable head of the harem.
