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

Even though she herself had been violated by the boy, she still had to put up a fight.

"another me……"

Hearing this undisguised possessive statement, Seele's cheeks flushed even redder.

"It's okay, I can feed Seele."

With a smile, Shihen scooped up a spoonful of oatmeal porridge and handed it between the two Xier.

"..."

Seeing the boy's incredibly wicked smile, [Seele] immediately gritted her teeth.

Beside her, Seele first cautiously glanced at the girl's angry expression, and then slowly peeked out at the food the boy offered.

"Hmm~"

In an instant, as if stimulated by something, Seele bit the boy's spoon with lightning speed.

"Eh?"

Seeing that Seele had once again intercepted the feeding attempt, Seele was slightly stunned at first, and then showed an expression as if she was about to cry.

Although she felt a little embarrassed to have another version of herself, she really wanted to get closer to the boy!

"Don't even think about bullying Seele in front of me!"

Completely oblivious to the disappointment on her other self's face, [Seele] shouted at the boy with all her might, like a little kitten baring its teeth and claws.

"Hehehe~ Then I'm going to bully you, okay?"

Shihen laughed wildly.

"I...I'm not afraid of you! You bad guy!"

Subconsciously recalling the scene of herself and Seele being bullied last night, Seele involuntarily shrank back, but then quickly mustered her courage and shouted.

"another me……"

Hearing this, a hint of emotion appeared on her face, but seeing the intense smile in the boy's eyes, Seele mustered her courage and said, "If Captain Hen wants to bully someone, then bully me. Seele wants to be bullied by Captain Hen..."

As she spoke, the girl's voice gradually faded, but the determination in her eyes remained unwavering.

"Xi'er!?"

Seeing the blue-haired girl with a rare look of determination on her face, [Seele] felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart.

"Eat your food first, or the porridge will get cold."

Smiling and speaking softly, Shihen reached out and ruffled the little heads of Xier and the others.

"Um……"

With a soft moan, Seele lowered her head and drank her porridge, her face flushed.

"Damn bastard!"

Beside her, [Seele] forcefully slapped the boy's hand away and began to drink her porridge in large gulps. Only the occasional reproachful glances she cast at someone revealed the anger in the girl's heart.

Shihen simply smiled at this.

Although he had decided to have a proper romance with both Seeles, he never demanded that they act the same way.

Or rather, this difference is what makes the girls who they are, and it's also why he likes them.

Moreover, the future is so long, he has plenty of time to be tolerant of every rough edge of these girls.

And so, in this warm yet slightly confrontational atmosphere, the three of them spent their first breakfast together after being completely honest with each other.

…………

"Sister Seele, Sister Seele! What game are we going to play today?"

In the cafeteria hall after breakfast, a child asked a question to the blue-haired girl who was surrounded by others, his rosy cheeks showing undisguised excitement.

Even though she only visits the orphanage every few months, Seele is quite popular among the children because of her kindness and gentleness, making each of her visits as lively as a festival.

"How about we play hide-and-seek today?"

After tilting her head slightly and thinking for a moment, Seele asked the children.

"Yay! I can play hide-and-seek with Seele now!"

Without the slightest hesitation, cheers erupted from the children.

"And, we'll have a new friend playing with us today too!"

With a sweet smile tinged with shyness on her face, Seele pointed to the boy beside her and said.

"Well--"

Looking at the boy, many children's faces showed hostility. "Sister Xi'er! Who is this guy?"

Even in terms of looks, Shihen is at the level of someone who could debut on the spot, but for the children who love Seele, the boy's identity is undoubtedly reduced to one thing—a big bad guy who wants to take Seele away from them!

"Hmph! I'm your Seele's best friend!"

Naturally noticing the children's envious and jealous gazes, Shihen spoke frankly without hesitation, while firmly grasping Xier's hand, "In other words, I am the most important person to Sister Xier!"

Laughing loudly, Shihen raised the girl's hand high, like a hero in a story who had grasped a legendary holy sword.

Unfortunately, for the children in the orphanage, the boy was undoubtedly more like the evil dragon who stole the princess in the story.

"hateful!"

"Don't be so arrogant! Seele is ours!"

"That's right! Defeat this bad brother! We must get Sister Xier back!"

Voices of resistance rose and fell, and the children instantly became enraged.

"Woo~~"

Watching the children and the teenagers who were acting like children argue, Seele's cheeks immediately turned red, and her body swayed as she could only let out muffled sobs from her throat.

"Hehehe~ If you can do it, then go ahead and try, you ignorant and weak little brats!"

With a classic villainous smile, Shihen crossed his arms and spoke in an extremely arrogant tone.

Swah——

Before the children could get excited again, a blood-red shadow suddenly flashed by and snatched the Blue Princess away, leaving only a chilling voice: "Idiot!"

She really couldn't understand why Seele would like someone who would even tease a bunch of kids.

As she thought this, [Seele] pulled her other self away quickly, not forgetting to glare fiercely at the boy.

"Oh! It's another Seele!"

"Quickly cover Seele and the others!"

In an instant, the children became excited again.

"Hmph! Run! Run, all of you, try your best to escape! You will never escape my grasp!"

Shihen said in a fierce tone.

wow——

Immediately feeling the immense pressure from the Great Demon King, dozens of children scattered and fled, hiding in the relatively spacious orphanage.

……

Orphanage, warehouse.

She cautiously peeked out from the pile of clutter and scanned the area. Only after confirming that the boy hadn't found her so quickly did [Seele] breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"Pfft~"

A burst of laughter suddenly rang out in the quiet warehouse.

"Xie'er!"

Looking toward the source of the laughter, Seele's eyes held a hint of resentment.

She had gone to great lengths to rescue him from the clutches of the boy, but this idiot seemed to show no appreciation whatsoever, and instead made such an obvious sound.

"I'm sorry, [Seele], I just haven't seen you this happy in a long time."

With an apologetic expression on her face, Seele explained softly.

Although Seele showed more angry expressions today than in the past month combined, as twin flowers who once shared the same origin, Seele could indeed feel the joy in her other self's heart.

Undoubtedly, whether it was the boy teasing her or the girl's resistance, Seele was enjoying it all.

"Who's happy?! I wish that jerk would stay far away from me!"

Upon hearing this, Seele immediately retorted.

It's ridiculous. How could she, a monster who is always keen on destruction, possibly feel happy about being bullied by a boy?

"Really? Another me?"

With a smile, Seele asked, her azure eyes gleaming with a faint light, as if she could see through all the disguises of the girl before her.

"Of course! Who would be happy about something like that!"

Without hesitation, Seele answered aloud, slightly turning her gaze away, not daring to meet the eyes of her other self.

"Well, let's just say that's how it is..."

Without pressing her further, Seele gave a mature and gentle smile, hugging her knees and sitting close to her other self.

"Eh?"

She couldn't help but show surprise, but seeing the gentle smile on her other self's face, [Seele] didn't have the heart to insist that they continue to confront each other and thoroughly debate the matter.

For a moment, two girls with almost identical appearances sat shoulder to shoulder, and the air was filled with a gentle tranquility like the first snow.

PS: Chirp...

Chapter Twenty-Six: Bronya is about to arrive on the battlefield.

"It feels like I've gone back to the time when I was in the orphanage."

In the silence, Seele suddenly spoke up, "Bronya, Xing, Lilia, Rosalia... we used to play hide-and-seek like this too."

"Yes, you used to always like to hide in the box."

She rolled her eyes at the girl and said irritably.

Even though it's been found in the box several times already, this idiot never thinks to hide it somewhere else.

"Back then, Bronya would always walk past us, but she would always pretend not to notice us."

She spoke softly, a hint of nostalgia on her face, "But nowadays, it's hard for us to hide in boxes anymore..."

As she spoke, Seele looked at her body, which was now completely grown up, and couldn't help but show a hint of regret on her face.

"Fool!"

[Xier] suddenly started cursing.

"Ok?"

Seele blinked in confusion.

"If the boxes here aren't big enough, why not just find an even bigger one?"

[Xier] said with a look of disappointment and frustration.

Even though I've grown a lot since I was a child, it's still hard to find a box to hide in.

But if you look carefully, you can always find a box that is big enough.

"Hehe...that's true."

She scratched her head sheepishly and answered with a slight blush, though a hint of disappointment still lingered in her eyes.

Even if physical boxes are easy to find, the troubles that come with growing up can't be solved by simply hiding in a box.

Thinking about the complicated relationship between the two of them, the boy, and Kiana, and then recalling the phone call Bronya made last night, Seele's mind instantly became a mess. She wished she could find a box and hide there right then and there, and never come out until the end of the world.

"You're not thinking about that jerk again, are you?"

Sensing something keenly, [Seele] immediately asked with a cold expression.
