There was a sudden knock on the door, and the girl froze in her tracks as she wiped the mirror.

She didn't order takeout, so who would knock on the door of a woman living alone for no reason?

Through the peephole, she saw an angry face.

The moment she opened the door and they met, the other person grabbed her wrist tightly.

Ziyao was forced back against the wall step by step, her eyes filled with guilt, and she dared not meet his gaze.

"Servant, guess how angry I am?"

Celine held a piece of letter paper in her hand and said unhappily.

Following the instructions, she traveled to many cities before finally finding this place.

Xilin pressed herself against Ziyao, pinning her against the wall and rendering her unable to move.

"How should I punish you this time?"

Stroking Ziyao's cheek, Xilin once again truly felt her presence.

When the girl died, my heart ached as if it were being squeezed shut.

If the girl hadn't secretly slipped her a letter before she died, Sirin would have almost confronted Otto.

Like a precious jewel, I unraveled the riddle on the envelope, traveled through several cities, and finally found this place.

My anxious heart was finally relieved, but that was far from enough.

A single drop of rain cannot quench thirst; it will only provoke further demands.

It's not greed, but rather human nature.

She wanted to hear the girl's cries of despair, and to see her obediently serve as her servant for life.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault this time."

The girl didn't resist; instead, she unexpectedly hugged Sirin instead.

Celine was stunned. The soft touch in her arms was comforting, and her heart softened instantly.

"As an apology, I will try my best to compensate you."

Not only Sirin, but also Mei and the others, after everything settled down, she had to apologize to everyone.

"Who needs compensation from a servant like you..."

This is a one-time exception, otherwise I'll make you suffer worse than death.

Xilin puffed out her cheeks slightly and released the girl's embrace.

She sat on the bed and casually looked around the room.

"What a coward, why are you hiding all the time?"

As far as she could remember, Xilin recalled that Ziyao possessed the power of the Herrscher of Flame, so there was no need for her to hide from destiny or conceal her identity.

"I'm just an ordinary person now, and I shouldn't provoke fate."

"Why don't you ask me for help? If you want, I can easily make that man feel pain."

Having learned from her previous experience, Sirin will no longer suffer from the 'God-Slaying Spear'.

"Our enemy is not destiny, so let's just forget about it."

"How about you call me Ziyao? Everyone just calls me that."

To avoid upsetting Xilin, Ziyao deliberately added "everyone".

"......"

Xilin remained silent, turning her head to look at the news, clearly dissatisfied.

Why are you acting like a little kid?

Ziyao reluctantly sat down next to her and tried to reason with her.

First, you should smile. If you are a cute girl, you can also use physical contact to shorten the distance between you. These are all important parts of the negotiation.

"By the way, Sirin, you retain memories of the Second Honkai Impact?"

"is there a problem?"

"No, I was just thinking, no wonder you don't like Theresa."

This is a huge problem.

Logically, it shouldn't be retained, so why would the world line change?

"Heh, I won't argue with a little girl."

Actually, they're older than you...

Putting aside her complaints, Ziyao immediately took Xilin's fair hand.

She has something important to say next.

Slightly crouching, Ziyao placed her fair hands on her collar, her eyes serious.

"You actually have feelings for me, don't you?"

In fact, if you don't agree to say these things to someone who likes you, the relationship can easily fall apart if things go wrong.

Conversely, if successful, it can eliminate the barriers between them, and the relationship will remain intact.

The first step is the crucial icebreaker—bringing things to the forefront.

Celine is not good at expressing her feelings; she has to take the initiative.

[Manipulation conditions: Overwhelming the other party with mental power, or being trusted]

To create a puppet, you must have manipulated the other party at least once.

If Sirin wants Kiana to come back and separate the two who share the same origin, she must trust her completely.

"Human, what are you dreaming about? How could I possibly like you?"

Xilin pulled the girl over and pinned her to the bed, looking down at her.

"Hehe... If you're willing to take the initiative to submit, I'm not unwilling to agree."

Xilin brushed her hair aside; to avoid being seen, she was wearing a white dress.

To put it simply, it means they're willing!

Arrogance can ruin a life.

Ziyao is not slow-witted, nor is she the wooden male protagonist in those strange anime series.

She could sense Sirin's feelings for her, and also for Kiana.

She likes young girls very much, but knows she can't say she's devoted to one person.

But the only question is, is the person they like really 'her'?

“I…have no memories of the past, but there is no doubt that I love Sirin.”

“…”

The direct confession left Xilin somewhat at a loss.

"Don't look to the side, please look at me carefully."

Even when pinned down, Ziyao still maintained the upper hand.

"Tsk, you're lying. Don't think I don't know you're having affairs with other girls."

"I'm not happy about it," Xilin said, gripping Ziyao's wrist tightly.

"I don't deny that I like everyone just as much."

I'm coming clean: I'm a scumbag woman.

At the same time, Ziyao's eyes held a hint of melancholy.

"But have you ever truly lived?"

Language is like a sharp thorn, hitting the bullseye precisely.

"When I first heard your story, I didn't feel pity, but sadness."

This is not a lie told to deceive; it is entirely Ziyao's true feeling.

“I have faced the same situation as you before, and I understand the pain and helplessness of being abandoned.”

"......"

Xilin fell silent and sat quietly on Ziyao's soft belly.

"It may be wishful thinking on my part, but I sincerely hope that you are not a Herrscher or a disaster, but an ordinary girl, living genuinely in this world."

The girl's eyes were as clear and bright as gemstones, without a trace of impurity.

“Servant...you really know how to say nice things.”

Celine released her hand and looked at her with gentle eyes.

Seizing the opportunity, Ziyao revealed her plan.

She has a way to create a [Sirin] so that she doesn't have to share a body with Kiana.

"Beep beep beep - beep beep".

Xilin's phone alarm suddenly went off.

She put down her phone, looking disappointed.

Immediately afterwards, she bent down and kissed Ziyao.

"Tsk, they really know how to pick their timing."

"Remember that I don't like sharing my things with others." Before leaving, Xilin grabbed Ziyao's wrist and warned her.

"drop---"

The moment the alarm clock stopped ringing, the girl's eyes turned a pure blue.
