Chapter 146
Sure enough, in the next second, the lights of the entire Hearth Home lit up, and people came out of their rooms one after another, rubbing their sleepy eyes.
Seeing that the situation was bad, Black Seele immediately made the battle scythe in her hand disappear, released her restraint on Bronya Zaychik, and finally called Seele back out from the mental space.
"Eh? The other me, what on earth..."
"Crybaby, I'll leave the rest to you. Find a way to muddle through this!"
"Wa, wait! How can you do this!"
Seele was in a panic, saying she couldn't do it. She had just been self-isolating and crying in the mental space, and then she was suddenly kicked out by the troublemaking Black Seele.
How could there be such a thing? Running away after doing bad things and throwing her out to clean up the mess.
Seele wanted to discuss it with the other her, but it was too late. The Hearth Home was already brightly lit, and everyone had gathered around, looking at them in unison.
"Uh, what happened?"
"Haah~ Who was screaming in the middle of the night?"
"Eh? What's wrong with Seele and Bronya Zaychik? And why is Bronya Zaychik the one crying on the ground?"
"Seele, are you okay?"
The girls of the Hearth Home were confused.
They thought, did the two of them have another conflict?
But usually, it should be Seele sitting on the ground crying, so why was it the other way around this time?
Although the situation on the scene was already very clear, no one considered the direction of 'Seele made Bronya Zaychik cry'. After all, the former's personality was so kind, simple, and afraid of violence, just like an angel.
But they immediately remembered Seele's abnormal behavior today, and suddenly they were unsure again.
"De, demon, Seele, demon..."
Bronya Zaychik, whose whole body was twitching, muttered.
"Seele, tell me what's going on." Bai Ge sighed and looked at Seele helplessly.
"Father Bai Ge, I, I actually, this..."
In the end, Seele said it out.
She said it all.
About the other self/Black Seele, about hurting Bronya Zaychik, and about the fact that it was Black Seele who occupied her body today.
There was no way; she was never a girl good at lying.
Not to mention when facing Bai Ge.
The only things Seele would ever say were her true feelings.
This made Black Seele in the mental space cover her face and curse her for being useless, not even knowing how to tell a lie. If she had known, she would have done it herself, but it was too late to think about that now.
Black Seele could only appear helplessly.
"Just like this crybaby said, I did this, it has nothing to do with Seele."
"…………"
In the surprised eyes of the girls of the Hearth Home, the gentle and weak White Seele went offline, and the proud and confident Black Seele went online. Such distinct personalities made them feel like they had seen something new.
If this was Seele's acting, then this girl would definitely be a movie queen who could win several Oscars in the future.
Bai Ge walked to Black Seele's front with a blank expression and then raised his palm. This action made Black Seele subconsciously frown and close her eyes. She was not afraid of anyone in the Hearth Home, but Bai Ge, who stood in the position of Father, was different.
But the pain of being slapped that she expected did not come.
Thump!
Bai Ge just gave her a light hand-chop on the head, showing a helpless expression.
"You went a bit too far this time, other Seele. I think it's fine to teach Bronya Zaychik a little lesson, but everything has a limit. As a member of the Hearth Home, how can you scare an important family member like this?"
He checked Bronya Zaychik's physical condition and found that her cells were just overly frightened, and she wasn't actually injured.
Seele's Stigmata recorded the memories of the Herrscher of Death from the previous civilization, which was also the reason she could use some authority, but this power was clearly hundreds of times weaker than a real Herrscher.
At the same time, Black Seele also covered her head and stepped back in surprise. She thought it would be a more painful punishment.
"What are you talking about? I, I am different from these people and wasn't picked up by you. I am a Stigmata consciousness awakened from negative emotions, the extreme negative personality of the crybaby, not a member of your Hearth Home."
"Hmm? Is that how you think of yourself?"
"That's how it is!"
"Is that so, Seele... let's call you Black Seele for now. I don't think a person can define their entire existence by their birth. As for what kind of existence you are, there is a simpler answer in my eyes."
Bai Ge crossed his arms and said seriously.
"... What answer?"
Black Seele took a deep breath. She stared straight into Bai Ge's eyes. With her personality, it was impossible for her to care about the opinions of outsiders, except for Bai Ge, who was extremely special and important to both Black Seele and White Seele.
Bai Ge smiled slightly and pointed to the Vodka Girls who were also already on the scene.
"You, in my eyes, are just a twin sister to Seele. Although you are essentially one person, you are also two different consciousnesses. But no matter what, you are both 【Seele】."
"Since that's the case, you are my daughter, a member of the Hearth Home. By the way, didn't everyone accept you today? I am very happy that there is a new member in the family."
Bai Ge's words surprised both Seeles.
"What? You, you discovered me?"
"Heh, you don't think you hid yourself well, do you? I am your Father, how could I ignore such obvious changes in you? You like spicy food, you don't like reading, hmm, and you're a bit fond of violence, your personality is tough. Thanks to you, I had a very fresh experience today."
Bai Ge said with a little pride.
"…………"
The two Seeles, who thought they had hidden themselves well, were suddenly speechless. Thinking about what Bai Ge had done so far, they suddenly felt that it was natural for them to be discovered.
Even if they didn't say anything, their dear Father would prepare the gifts they liked most for everyone. Just like in the past, Seele longed for the sea, and when Bai Ge realized it, he directly arranged a trip to the seaside.
Taking advantage of Black Seele being stunned, Bai Ge raised his hand to touch her head. He evaluated in his heart that there was no difference from White Seele... it's just that this look was like a little wild cat that was suddenly petted.
"What a consciousness is born from cannot determine everything about her. The reason you taught Bronya Zaychik a lesson is also because she occasionally bullies Seele on weekdays, right?"
"Hmph, who knows."
"Well, this personality is really the exact opposite."
Bai Ge couldn't help but feel a bit amused. Seeing Seele put on a tsundere look was really fresh.
Of course, he didn't feel annoyed or angry. After all, what bad intentions could Black Seele have?
She just wanted to protect the most important White Seele.
"Black Seele, I believe your nature is not just malice, and I really want to accept you as a member/family of the Hearth Home, but now it seems you don't seem to want to. Was it just my wishful thinking?"
"I, this, no, uh..."
Once these words were said, Black Seele suddenly didn't know what to say.
White Seele in the mental space was anxious, "The other me, how could you let Father Bai Ge show such a disappointed expression? This won't do, hurry up and think of a way."
Bai Ge would not force anyone to join the Hearth Home. Even for Bronya Zaychik back then, he only issued an invitation and let Bronya Zaychik make her own choice.
"I didn't say I wouldn't agree..." (Whispering)
"Hmm? Did you say something, Seele?"
"Uh, cough cough! Although I'm not very interested in this Hearth Home, since Father you have asked Seele so much, then it's not impossible for me to join."
(Ah~ What a textbook tsundere xN)
Everyone sighed and complained in their hearts for a while.
Bai Ge showed a happy smile. Since all the empty rooms in the house were full, he hadn't adopted any more children, so it had been a while since a new member joined the Hearth Home.
Now not only was there a new member, but the person who joined was Black Seele, so how could he not feel happy?
"That's great, welcome to the Hearth Home, other Seele. It's a pity that it's very late now, but we can hold a long-lost welcome party for new members tomorrow."
"Is it necessary? But since you insist on holding it, then I will reluctantly participate."
"Haha~ Then I will make a few more spicy dishes tomorrow."
"Really? That's good."
Thinking of the spicy potato pancakes and Mapo Tofu she ate during the day, Black Seele's eyes lit up and she showed an expectant look.
However, before she could be happy for too long.
"It's good that you can be happy, after all, this is also my joy. But let's talk about tomorrow's business tomorrow. Next, it's time for punishment, Black Seele."
"... What?"
Black Seele's brain crashed for a moment.
Then, before she could react, Bai Ge had already tucked her under his arm, head facing back, bottom facing forward.
That is the so-called Ansaist waist drum posture.
"Wa, wait a minute! What do you want to do!"
"I've already said it, next I'm going to give the naughty Black Seele a little punishment. As your Father in the Hearth Home, Father Bai Ge is always fair, just, and open. Bad children who make mistakes must be taught a lesson." ===== CHAPTER 147 =====
