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

"Ah~ Where should we go for drinks today?"

Even as the footsteps faded into the distance, Siegfried's booming voice still reached Bronya's ears.

"Speaking of drinking, Siegfried, you sneaked out again this afternoon, didn't you?"

Walter said in a helpless tone.

"Well, there's still plenty of time before the game launches, so there's no need to rush, right?"

Siegfried explained with a smile.

"That's right, Alliance Leader, you don't need to worry about him. As long as my progress is completed on time, that's enough. At worst, we can just cut the other line."

Thunder Dragon Horse calmly echoed.

"Thunder Dragon Horse, you **** (Kaslana's swear word)!"

Upon hearing this, Siegfried immediately became anxious.

"..."

As the three voices faded into the distance, the light in Bronya's eyes gradually dimmed and disappeared.

Even though she held the power of truth, she was ultimately powerless to do anything!

or……

Bronya's gaze swept over a group photo on the table, featuring her, Seele, Kiana, Mei, and the boy, and a sharp, wolf-like glint flashed in her eyes.

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Morning After [Seele]

The next day, when the morning light shone into the orphanage again, only two people remained in the small room.

Looking at the peaceful sleeping face of [Xier] beside him, Shihen couldn't help but smile slightly, and his index finger reached out and gently pressed on the girl's cheek.

The skin beneath her fingertips was soft and smooth, and a dent appeared on the girl's cheek.

As if he had discovered an interesting toy, Shihen kept changing the position of his fingertips as he pressed, poking one small indentation after another on the girl's face that disappeared in an instant.

"Have you had enough fun yet?!"

Finally, as if she had grown impatient with the boy's behavior, [Seele] suddenly opened her eyes, her scarlet eyes filled with a hint of anger.

The reason she was sleeping so quietly was because she had already woken up.

She didn't dare open her eyes because the boy and the other Seele were being affectionate for a while after waking up.

After all, no matter how fierce she usually appears, she is still a young girl who has just stepped into the new world and cannot be completely at ease in this kind of situation.

Just being in bed with Seele last night had exhausted all her sense of shame. If she were found to be awake again this morning, she couldn't even imagine what the boy would do to her and Seele.

Left with no other option, Seele could only pretend to be asleep and wait for the two people next to her to finish their lovey-dovey moments until Seele got up to take care of the affairs at the orphanage.

But Seele had only just left, and before she could even catch her breath, she immediately realized that the boy had reached out his devilish claws towards her again.

She had originally hoped that the boy would behave himself and stop teasing her after a few times, but she didn't expect that he would become more and more outrageous as time went on.

If she continues to endure this, Seele feels that it won't just be her face that suffers.

"No, if it's you, Seele, I'll never get tired of playing with you."

Undeterred by the girl's angry gaze, Shihen smiled and spoke softly.

This is the truth.

Although [Seele] was indeed trying hard to appear angry, her pretty face and her current lazy demeanor after waking up only highlighted her cuteness, making Shihen's heart flutter and making him want to hug the girl and tease her on the spot.

Seeing the girl's immature kitten-like appearance in front of him, Shihen had no doubt that if he did that, she would definitely bite him hard.

Even though he did really want Seele to bite him, he decided to let it go in the current situation.

As a warrior who isn't entirely driven by pure love, he intends to have a proper romance with Seele and isn't in a rush.

"You bastard!"

Naturally, she wouldn't understand the boy's thoughts. Upon hearing this, [Seele] blushed instantly and couldn't help but scold him in a cute but angry voice.

"[Seele] Do you hate me?"

Hearing this, Shihen's face remained completely calm, and his gaze towards the girl was full of tenderness.

"Huh? You actually think you're quite likable?"

She couldn't help but retort, her face full of disgust, "You never tell the truth, and you're always bullying me. I really don't know how that idiot could like you!"

Maybe.

However, I'm serious about liking Seele.

He spoke softly, a hint of solemnity and seriousness on his face, "And you are the same."

Although the ways you express yourself are different, I think you and the other Seele are equally adorable and equally worthy of my affection.

"Huh? Who, who wants you to like it?"

With a slight blush, [Seele] angrily rebuked.

"But I just love you, Seele."

With a gentle smile on his face, Shihen explained softly, "I like how you express your anger directly, and I also like how you always stand up for Xier."

Of course, I like it the way it is now the best…

As he spoke, Shihen lowered his head without hesitation and pressed his lips to the girl's soft lips.

"Well--"

In an instant, Seele's eyes widened. She was about to bite down hard to teach the boy a lesson, but her body went limp as if all her strength had been drained, leaving her helpless as the man did whatever he wanted inside her.

……

After a long while, when the two finally separated, [Seele] was lying on the bed with her mouth slightly open and panting heavily. Her cheeks were flushed as if she had done some kind of intense exercise, and her originally blood-red eyes had become as delicate and charming as flowers.

"I really like the taste of [Seele]."

Taking in the girl's demeanor, Shihen licked his lips and said with a smile.

"hateful--"

Wiping the glistening liquid from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, [Seele] glared at the boy and scolded him.

She had been somewhat moved by the boy's words, but he turned around and started bullying her again.

That's how relationships between people are.

Because we like each other, we want to do all sorts of things to get closer and create more memories that belong only to each other.

As if reading the girl's feelings, Shihen smiled and explained, "Besides, [Seele], don't you like it this way?"

"Who, who likes this! You bastard!"

A flicker of evasion crossed [Seele]'s eyes, and she hurriedly cursed angrily.

"Hmmmm~"

Shihen merely glanced at the girl's still rapidly rising and falling heart and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"W-what do you want to do?"

Noticing the boy's aggressive gaze, Seele couldn't help but shrink back.

She still remembers exactly how the boy tormented her last night under the guise of comparing the physical differences between her and Seele.

Honestly, she only said ten minutes, why did you have to keep her going for almost two hours?

Countless images flashed through her mind, and Seele suddenly felt a phantom pain in her chest again, and her legs under the covers unconsciously began to rub together gently.

"Let's do it next time, otherwise we'll miss breakfast. Seele will worry."

Shihen patted the girl's head and said softly.

"Huh? Who would take on this..."

She immediately slapped the boy's hand away and retorted reflexively, but then realized that the other person was referring to another Seele, and her cheeks immediately turned red.

"Humph……"

Unable to suppress a smile, Shihen stopped teasing the girl and turned to get out of bed to change his clothes.

"..."

Seeing the boy acting as if no one else was around and not at all astray from her behavior, [Seele]'s cheeks turned even redder, and she huddled tightly under the covers, only peeking at the boy with her eyes showing.

Don't get me wrong, she's not interested in this conman, she's just... just thoroughly researching the enemy!

That's right, that's the truth!

It wasn't because she thought the boy had a great physique and excellent muscle definition that she wanted to take a second look.

Besides, the boy has already looked her over inside and out, so why can't she look back?

Thinking this way, Seele suddenly felt righteous, and her previously furtive glances became even more unrestrained.

Next time, she'll definitely take care of this bastard in ten minutes!

As her gaze swept over the boy's strong and powerful waistline, [Seele] thought bitterly to herself.

The brief time for changing clothes passed quickly. Shihen suddenly turned around, his smiling gaze meeting the girl's gaze before she could look away.

"..."

Their eyes met, and [Seele]'s cheeks immediately flushed red. "Who, who likes to look at you? Do you think you're that pretty?!"

She spoke angrily, and [Seele]'s voice gradually grew louder.

"I never said you liked watching me."

Shihen said helplessly.

[Xier]: "..."

It was visibly clear that the girl's face, including the base of her ears, had turned completely red.

"Alright, time to get up, you lazybones."

Shihen chuckled lightly.

"..."

[Seele] blinked involuntarily.

"..."

Shihen continued to gaze at the girl with gentle eyes.

"Then get out of here, you bastard!"

[Seele] finally couldn't help but curse.

Does this guy think everyone is as shameless as him?

If Seele were here, it wouldn't matter, but this young man... she doesn't have the habit of changing clothes in front of him.

Even though her clothes had already been taken off by someone once.

"Shouldn't I be the one changing it for you? That's how it is between lovers."

Shihen asked, looking puzzled.

"Who asked you to change it!"

Besides, stop fantasizing about a... a lover! I have no intention of admitting to anything like that!

"[Seele] shouted angrily."

"Yeah……"

Without offering any rebuttal, Shihen simply sighed softly, his face revealing an undisguised regret and disappointment.

"No, that's right! If you know, then get out of here right now!"

She shouted loudly, and Seele unconsciously looked away, not daring to meet the boy's gaze.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, she still felt a little heartache when she saw the disappointed look on the boy's face.
