Following the conclusion of the brand-new animated short Cyberangel, the viewers in Senti's livestream could no longer contain their excitent, frantically posting their thoughts in the chat!
From the initial Queen's Descent, to Final Lesson, and now to Cyberangel... looking at these three animated shorts, it was obvious that the animation production quality was skyrocketing!
Originally, the quality of Queen's Descent was already terrifying, but the fans never expected miHoYo to improve even further. This short displayed unparalleled visual tension and expressive power!
cha Motorcycle Pretty Girl!
Without a doubt, this "triple threat" sent the players into a collective frenzy!
[Ahhh! Bronya, take with you!]
[Duck, my Duck, wuu-wuu-wuu!!!]
[Project Bunny, you are my god! I want a Project Bunny too!!]
[Project Bunny is way too cool. What man wouldn't want a badass cha that can transform into a motorcycle?!]
[Wait, Project Bunny isn't just a cha, right? It's supposed to be so kind of creature from the Sea of Quanta.]
[Who cares! I'm going to pull for her until I'm broke!!]
After seeing the Herrscher of Reason's spectacular performance, and with the Cyberangel short as a massive selling point, it was certain that the Herrscher of Reason's revenue would see another explosive surge! Although Azure Empyrea was well-loved in the previous version, with the addition of the animated short and being a Herrscher that combined both beauty and power, the Herrscher of Reason's hype pushed Honkai Impact 3rd to a new peak!
This caused other ga studios to howl in despair. No, what exactly is this Honkai Impact 3rd? Every ti they release an animation, their revenue explodes? Isn't there supposed to be a barrier between industries? Why don't you lose money making animations? Why do you make even more! Is there no justice! All the good things are taken by you, miHoYo!
[Why is my wallet recharging itself?]
[It's over. I wasn't that into the Bronya, but after watching this short...]
[Duck, run over with your bike, Duck, hehehe!!]
[Quit being a creep in here!!]
For a ti, Senti's stream beca a massive gathering for "Elden Lords" (simps). Even Senti's hands were itching; Bronya in the short was just too cool. She was a die-hard Old Tir fan, but even she felt the urge to pull for a full SSS Herrscher of Reason right now!
"That guy Su Mu definitely has a crush on Bronya!" Senti said to Fu Hua. "Look at the quality of this short, look at Bronya's dress and her transformation sequence—it's clearly been crafted with ticulous care! Hard evidence: Bronya is Su Mu's favorite!"
Fu Hua paused but didn't refute Senti. To be honest, Cyberangel was indeed different from the previous two shorts. Queen's Descent showcased the Herrscher of the Void's power; Final Lesson focused on Hiko's tragic sacrifice. Cyberangel didn't have as many twists; it showcased Bronya's highlight mont, showing her slaughtering everything in her path after obtaining the power of Reason! It gave off a vibe of being invincible in the world! One could say this short focused on a protagonist's growth and the power of her evolution! She was the first of the Trio to get this kind of treatnt!
If it wasn't "internal favoritism," no one would believe it.
"Hmph, it must be Su Mu using his position for personal gain, purposefully making his crush Bronya look this cool! And that outfit is too pretty, just like a princess!" Senti began to fantasize. "Hmph, should I also show off my charm and make that guy Su Mu fall for too? That way, when I debut later, I'll definitely be cooler than the Herrscher of Reason!"
Fu Hua looked at Senti as if she were an idiot. Though she said nothing, her expression spoke volus. Senti's eyes widened. "Hey, hey, hey, Old Tir, what's with that look? Do you think I don't have charm?!"
Fu Hua glanced at her sister's flat chest, then thought of her "troublemaker" personality, and couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Senti shouted in protest: "Old Tir, you laughed! You're looking down on too much! If I show so real skill, a guy like Su Mu would be putty in my hands!"
Fu Hua nodded. "Yes, yes, you're the most charming. Mhm-mhm."
Senti was enraged: "What's with that perfunctory expression!!! You're making so mad!"
"Don't go causing trouble for Su Mu."
"How is it causing trouble! Old Tir, everyone knows now that I'm Su Mu's good brother! Is it a problem for a good brother to visit? No problem at all!"
"Su Mu has to work. Don't go bothering him for no reason."
"Old Tir, how can you say such cold words with a 37-degree body temperature! Do you also think I can only cause trouble for Su Mu?"
"What do you think?"
"How can you discourage your sister like this! Hateful Old Tir! Waaaah!!"
As Senti's stream ended, Seele still hadn't snapped out of the Cyberangel animation. "S-So amazing.... Sister Bronya's Herrscher of Reason form is way too cool..." Her eyes were sparkling with stars as she looked at Su Mu with admiration. "Brother Su Mu, you're incredible! Making such a great animation—Sister Bronya will be so happy when she sees it!"
Su Mu smiled. "It wasn't just my work. I was only responsible for so drafts, storyboards, and action choreography... the animation studio we collaborated with has great technical skills."
Seele was stunned. "Eh? Drafts, storyboards, and choreography? Doesn't that an Brother Su Mu basically made the whole thing?"
Su Mu replied modestly, "Without everyone's hard work, we couldn't have finished an animation of this quality."
Working at miHoYo for a while, Seele had learned quite a bit about Su Mu. She knew he was outstanding; she had heard that from Bronya many tis. But after actually coming to miHoYo, if you pulled anyone aside and ntioned Su Mu's na, their eyes would fill with respect.
"You an Director Su? He's so young, but his skills are earth-shattering!" Seele had asked around, and the more she heard, the more shocked she beca. It was one thing to be an expert in one field, but Su Mu was an all-rounder. Ga engines, fraworks, architecture, front-end, rendering, modeling, scripting... there was nothing he couldn't do.
Employees joked privately that if given enough ti, Director Su could make the entire Honkai 3rd ga by himself. They were just building the house on the foundation he laid; they were basically just "crossing the river by feeling Director Su."
If it were just ga developnt, that would be one thing. But Su Mu was also exceptionally gifted in music and animation, even earning Eden's recognition. The BGMs in the ga, the animated shorts... everything related to Honkai 3rd had Su Mu's touch. This made Seele understand why the employees were so devoted to him. When soone is slightly ahead of you in one field, you might feel jealous. But if they are so far ahead in every field that you can only see their back, jealousy doesn't even enter the mind. They aren't even from the sa world.
Employees speculated that Director Su had awakened a "Ga Making System" that made him stronger as he made more gas, and that one day he'd beco a literal superhuman. Of course, that was just banter. But anyone who visited Su Mu's office knew that their director was either working or on his way to work. Outstanding talent and genius weren't the scary part; the scary part was that he worked harder than anyone else!
Previously, the employees had held an internal shipping poll for Director Su. After adding Bronya, Kiana, Elysia, and other beauties from the company to the pool, everyone looked at the options and imdiately saw the most "shining" choice. The winner, ranked number one, was: "Gas"!
They simply couldn't imagine a workaholic ga-maniac like Director Su stopping his work to date a woman! Romance would only slow down his developnt speed, right?! This was also why, despite Seele and Su Mu being close recently, no rumors had spread... because everyone assud Su Mu was a total workaholic. When Firefly started her studio, so people gossiped that she might be Su Mu's girlfriend, but it turned out they were just overthinking it.
"Director Su dating? Please! If he ever actually gets a girlfriend, I'll feel like the sky is falling..." "You're asking if Director Su has soone he likes? He says he likes Kiana, Bronya, i... anyway, characters in the ga. Do you get it now?" "Director Su probably only likes 2D waifus. I really feel like he has zero interest in 3D won." "Seele, you aren't falling for Director Su, are you? Take it from a big sister: give up early. That guy isn't just a blockhead... he's a literal stone."
Seele had heard all these comnts. But every ti she saw Su Mu, she thought of what happened in the underground parking. After being kissed, Su Mu had seed flustered. That was proof enough that he wasn't a stone... Looking at the smiling Su Mu, Seele felt a strange impulse. She really wanted to see if this stone could be moved.
Subconsciously, her mind drifted back to what happened last night.
"Sister Bronya, can you tell more stories about you and Brother Su Mu?" Seele, wearing a white nightgown, was lying on a HOMU pillow, looking curiously at Bronya who was typing on her laptop.
"Hmm? Of course. But Seele, you've been very interested in Su Mu lately. Do you...?" Bronya stopped typing, her expression slightly unnatural.
"Eh? N-No! I'm just interested in the Honkai 3rd ga you two made!" Seele's face turned as red as an apple.
"Alright. Well, let think... where should I start?" Bronya thought for a bit and began from her first eting with Su Mu. They had only worked together for about half a year, so it didn't take long to explain. "Actually, I've felt for a long ti that although he isn't old, his abilities are too outstanding. But he gives a strange feeling—'old-fashioned'? No, that's not right. If I hadn't seen his ID, I'd seriously think he was faking his age."
Seele sat up, her attention completely captured. "Does Sister Bronya an Brother Su Mu is mature?"
Bronya shook her head. "Mhm, mature? Let's put it this way: I see an aura in him like Mr. Yang. If miHoYo is a big family, Su Mu is undoubtedly the patriarch, worrying about every aspect of this ho."
Not only did he handle work, but he even spent his rest ti helping project mbers with their problems. Overti was common. He could always get along with everyone around him, even people from other companies. Most importantly, he never mistreated those close to him. Pardo had beco a top-tier strear; Elysia was the image ambassador for Honkai 3rd; even Fu Hua's sister, Senti, was getting famous.
"He's like a parent, arranging everything for us... Did you know? Before Honkai 3rd launched, he prepared tens of thousands of words of notes and docuntation—his 'experience summary'—to effectively prevent PR crises. That stuff was even bound into our project manual; you can find the answer to almost any problem in there... I don't know what his brain is made of."
At this point, a gentle look appeared on Bronya's face. "Actually, it's true. In front of him, we really are like infants. He practically raised this entire company to where it is now by himself. All we did was wait for food under his wings... Seele, Su Mu is an amazing person. I admire his strength and love the feeling of being protected by him, as if any difficulty can be overco as long as he's there. He's so outstanding that even without miHoYo, he would have made a na for himself. From the start, it wasn't that he needed miHoYo; miHoYo needed him."
Seele saw the softness in Bronya's eyes as she spoke. She bit her lip, feeling a sudden bitterness... but more than that, it was an indescribable emotion. Especially when hearing her favorite sister praise Su Mu so openly, she felt a faint sense of... happiness? Seele herself couldn't quite figure out her own thoughts.
--- The night grew deep.
Bronya had to work tomorrow, so she finished washing up and slept beside Seele. Now, Seele could only hear her steady breathing. Seele couldn't close her eyes. She looked at the ceiling, her mind replaying that kiss in the parking lot. Ever since Black Seele had done that, the mory had been impossible to shake.
She knew Bronya liked Su Mu... Seele should have felt repulsed by Su Mu getting close to Bronya. she should have wanted to keep Bronya all to herself. But... hearing her sister, whom she had admired since childhood, repeatedly describe the Su Mu she liked... Seele's heart began to sprout a very strange emotion.
She should have been jealous of Su Mu for being liked by Bronya, but... there was another feeling, one she couldn't na, a taste that was both sweet and bitter. Since that day, she had even dread of that scene. In the dream, she kissed Su Mu and leaned into his broad, strong chest, overwheld by a sense of peace and comfort.
When Seele woke up and saw the sleeping Bronya beside her, a wave of guilt hit her. "...What am I doing, 'Other '?" Seele would always ask her other personality.
"Hmph, I don't know! You can't rely on for everything! Think for yourself... think hard!" But the other self, who she usually relied on, chose to avoid the question.
Seele actually knew the answer in her heart. She didn't dare say it to anyone except her other self. "I... I think I like Brother Su Mu."
"Hmph... I know. You are , and I am you. How could I not know your little thoughts?"
"Is it because he's the person Big Sister likes?"
"....?" Seele's eyes widened. "Other , what are you saying? You an, because he's the person Sister Bronya likes, so..."
Black Seele's voice rang in her mind. "From the beginning, you've always been Big Sister's shadow. You admired everything about her—her gentleness, her strength. Unconsciously, you naturally wanted to beco like her. In your mory, you've never seen a man move Big Sister's heart. But this man, Su Mu, is completely different... This is the first ti you've seen her truly fall for a man."
"Rember when we drove off those bugs harassing her? We used every ans to protect our precious Sister Bronya. In our hearts, she was sacred and untouchable... The one who broke that was Su Mu. When you heard she liked him, how surprised were you? How indignant and angry?"
"You wanted to keep Big Sister for yourself and drive him away like the others. But you were powerless because this ti was different; Big Sister was the one falling. You felt betrayed! You just wanted to be with her forever! You wanted to catch that man's weakness and order him to stay away, but then you discovered... the powerful Sister Bronya you admired was beaten to the punch by you."
"You were ecstatic. A feeling you've never had. You were no longer the coward hiding behind her; you were ahead of her... You finally got ahead of her, didn't you? Didn't you use that kiss to get revenge on the Big Sister who 'betrayed' us? Snatching the man she likes... isn't that exactly what you want, Seele?"
The other voice echoed relentlessly. Seele clutched her head, constantly denying it. "No, that's not it! I-I didn't! You were the one controlling my body then! You did that! I didn't betray Big Sister!"
But the other self laughed: "Seele, I am you and you are . I know better than anyone what a 'bad girl' you are. Aren't you enjoying this sense of transgression right now? Stop trying to resist your own heart..."
The voice vanished. No matter how Seele called, there was no response. She looked at the sleeping Bronya and bit her lip. "Sister Bronya, I'm sorry..." She apologized repeatedly. Only then could she feel a bit of peace.
"Seele? Seele?"
Su Mu's voice pulled her back to reality. She realized he was looking at her with concern. "What's wrong? You're dazed all of a sudden."
It's because of this.... Hearing his gentle tone, Seele's mind filled with the mories of the past half-month. Nominally, she was helping Kiana correct her bad habits. But being picked up and dropped off by Su Mu every day, going to the supermarket together after work, crowding into the kitchen with him at Kiana's house... it was exactly like being a real married couple.
Kiana? She was more like a silly daughter.
Seele clenched her fists and shook her head, trying to drive the images away, only to find them inescapable. The Cyberangel short, the Herrscher of Reason Bronya... As expected, Brother Su Mu likes Sister Bronya too, right?
The other voice rang in her heart again. "Are you going to keep going like this? Passively waiting to be chosen? You've already 'betrayed' her by falling for him. Since that's the case, why not be better to yourself? Why not follow your heart? You know Big Sister hasn't confessed yet, right? You have the right to pursue happiness too, don't you? Do you think hesitating will change anything? If you can't say it, let ."
Black Seele's words left Seele stunned—not with anger, but with shock. "Eh? Other , you... you too...?"
"Hmph... I am you, and you are ! Falling for the sa person... it's not unusual!!" Black Seele's voice sounded embarrassed, which Seele found... funny. "Other , I didn't think... you could be this shy."
"Shut up! It's all that man's fault, saying those things to , and I'm a girl... Hmph, it's so annoying!"
"Last night you said Seele was betraying Big Sister, but it turns out you're my accomplice too."
"Hmph, what choice do I have? We share one body. If you're a traitor, can I be any different?"
"But... if we do this, we really will let Sister Bronya down..."
Facing the hesitating Seele, Black Seele snorted: "Seele, more than Big Sister, I care about your feelings."
"Eh?"
"...Hmph, anyway, that's that. I said those things because I want you to pursue happiness." Black Seele paused. "As for Big Sister... though it benefits that bastard, once you beco soone important to him and whisper in his ear, won't it be easy for him to take her down too?"
Seele's eyes widened. Other ... you want both of us to be with Brother Su Mu?!
"You don't want to be separated from Big Sister, do you? If the three of you are together, isn't the problem solved?"
"T-That's true... but will Sister Bronya accept it?"
"I'll help you convince her. If anything goes wrong and she gets mad at you, I'll take the bla."
"Other ..."
"Hmph! Don't misunderstand, I just hate seeing you moping around; it's annoying!"
"Thank you..." Seele thanked her other self. She opened her eyes and looked at the concerned Su Mu. Gathering her courage: "Brother Su Mu, what do you think of Sister Bronya?"
"Hmm? Why the sudden question?"
"I just feel that for this short, Brother Su Mu put in so much heart... You designed her dress too, right? Do you care about her?"
The question caught Su Mu off guard. He didn't expect Seele to ask this. He originally thought Black Seele was causing trouble, but seeing Seele's serious expression, he realized she was the one in control.
"Pfft! You're asking that right away!" "Eh? didn't you say we have to work hard to get them together!" "Whispering in his ear! You have to conquer him first before you can whisper anything!" "Oh, I see..."
Black Seele felt like crying. Can she do this or not? If not, let take over! This is painful to watch!
At that mont, Su Mu spoke. "Bronya is an important companion to —you probably know the state of the studio when I first joined seven or eight months ago."
Seele nodded. "Mhm. Sister Bronya told Seele that the studio was about to go bankrupt."
Su Mu recounted the past. "Exactly.... Bronya was my comrade through the studio's hardest tis. Without her support, I couldn't have made Honkai 3rd. Back then, we only had about ten people. I made the gas, and Bronya handled the business, the investnt, the HR, the connections... You could say without her sacrifices, miHoYo wouldn't be here today. Kiana did a lot too... at least in terms of money, she gave the maximum support. Because of her trust, Bronya and I could work freely."
Seele was thoughtful. "So miHoYo's current success is the result of the combined efforts of you, Sister Bronya, and Sister Kiana..."
Su Mu nodded. "Yes. So to , Kiana and Bronya are both very important companions."
Watching him talk about their history, Seele couldn't help but press: "Only companions?"
Su Mu looked at Seele with surprise. He saw a look of absolute seriousness on her face. "Seele...?"
"Brother Su Mu, do you like Sister Bronya? Or... do you like Sister Kiana?"
"...." Su Mu stared at her. He never expected Seele to ask this. After a mont of silence, he shook his head. "I don't know."
"Eh?" Seele's eyes widened.
"I don't know how to answer you, Seele," Su Mu said. "I rarely consider these things."
He wasn't lying. Having lived two lives, Su Mu had seen much of the world's coldness. Since awakening his mories in this world, he had only wanted to fulfill his dream: bringing Earth's gas here and giving the industry a "little shock." Besides that, he wanted the tragic characters from Honkai 3rd to live happily. He recruited them to miHoYo to look after them as much as possible. No special reason—just because he'd seen too much tragedy and wanted more beauty in the world.
To say he had no feelings for Bronya or Kiana would be a lie. No normal man could be indifferent to such beautiful won. It was an instinct. But Su Mu loved the feeling of being in control; he wanted to live life on his terms. He was a rational person who liked having a backup plan and being prepared. Perhaps because of that, he didn't want to invest ti in "romance," which was easily manipulated by emotions and full of uncertain variables.
"This guy is so annoying." Black Seele's voice rang in Seele's heart. "Basically... he's afraid of the unknown entering his life, afraid of losing that sense of control, right? But he has zero self-awareness. Does he not realize his behavior is exactly like a 'Central Air Conditioner' (nice to everyone)? He's basically a scumbag!"
"Saying those things to then trying to stay out of it? He's looking down on ! Seele, show him so color! He doesn't want to date? I won't let him have his way! I'm going to make him fall for us so hard he can't breathe! Trying to run after teasing us? No way!!"
Black Seele's words pushed Seele into action. "Brother Su Mu, you're just as Seele thought—your head is full of yourself. You really are a selfish person..."
Su Mu didn't argue. He understood that being too focused on one's own feelings could indeed be a form of selfishness.
"But Seele really can't accept it.... Why should Sister Bronya's feelings go unanswered? She's such an amazing person, and she's important to you too... Why can't you be with her?" Seele suddenly looked up. As if reaching a decision, she grabbed Su Mu's hand. "Everyone says you're a stone, Brother Su Mu, but I don't believe it. If you were really that cold-hearted..."
She pressed Su Mu's hand against her chest. Through the fabric, an incredible heat and elasticity were transmitted. "Seele is going to try and see... if she can make this stone... move!"
Su Mu's eyes widened. He saw Seele, her face flushing crimson with extre embarrassnt—she looked like she might literally start steaming—yet she was forcing herself to stare him down. "This is the first ti Sister Bronya has liked soone so much. I want to do sothing for her, anything!" Her face held a determination Su Mu had never seen before. The little girl looked at him with eyes full of light. "If Brother Su Mu doesn't know how to love others, let Seele teach you!"
This developnt left Su Mu frozen. He never expected such words from her. "Did Black Seele tell you to... Seele, a girl should..."
Su Mu tried to speak, but Seele's expression changed. Though her face was still red, her gaze was different—angry, dissatisfied, yet laced with a hint of playfulness. She gave him no ti to react, closing the distance instantly. Su Mu's eyes widened as he felt sothing incredibly soft touch his lips. Her warm breath brushed his face. It was itchy and tingly, with the scent of lilies.
The kiss didn't last long. After about thirty seconds, Seele pushed him away, covering her mouth with the back of her hand and breathing heavily. "Ha... haha! Now, your second kiss is mine too.... I won't give you any room to refuse. From today on, you are my property..."
Her eyes were a ss of confusion, and her breathing was erratic, her body almost swaying. Yet she forced out those harmless "threats" to declare her sovereignty. "Now, I have a second thing on you.... Trying to run? No way. Serves you right for treating like a kid and saying those high-and-mighty things to .... You just want to make gas? Well, I won't let you have your way! How about that? Your heart is pounding right now, isn't it! So what if you're a stone? Right now... your face is redder than mine, Brother Su Mu!!"
Looking at the stubborn, blushing Seele: Su Mu let out a dry laugh. He never thought he'd be forcibly kissed by Seele. Twice.
"I was going to get along with you peacefully as a gentleman." Looking at the "bratty" Black Seele, Su Mu felt his resolve harden—his fists were hard too. He stood up, his tall fra looming over her.
Black Seele took a step back. "W-What are you doing? I'm telling you, don't..."
Before she could finish, Su Mu's large hand wrapped around her slender waist. Amidst her gasp, he kissed her cherry lips firmly.
"Mmmph! Mmmph!" Seele's eyes widened as she pounded his chest, but her strength vanished in an instant, and her entire body went limp.
After a long ti, Seele felt like she had no strength left, even her bones felt tingly. she could only lean against Su Mu's chest, panting for air. "Ha... ha... you... you... bastard..."
Seeing the embarrassed and annoyed Black Seele in his arms, Su Mu wore a mischievous grin. "Wasn't this your request? You've forcibly kissed twice; it's only fair I have a turn, right?"
Black Seele finally regained so strength and shoved him away. "Y-You... how are you so practiced!" In that mont, she felt all control had been snatched away! He had been clumsy the first two tis, but this ti he had been proactive and aggressive, giving her no chance to react!
Su Mu found it funny. Did you think I was born yesterday? He had wanted to be a gentleman, but he got a forced kiss and a "reverse-kabedon" instead... In that case, he'd stop pretending. Cards on the table!
"So, any thoughts, Miss Seele?" "W-What thoughts?" "Thoughts on becoming my girlfriend." "Who! Who said I wanted to be your girlfriend!" "Oh? Did I misunderstand? My apologies then, Miss Seele..." "Y-You're doing it on purpose to annoy , aren't you?!"
Black Seele charged forward, pounding his shoulders. But her punches were weak, feeling more like flirting.
"Seele." "Mhm?" "From now on... don't call Brother Su Mu. Call Su Mu."
Seeing Black Seele's awkward expression, Su Mu felt a sense of delight. "Mhm, I'll take responsibility. Let's announce our relationship to everyone later." Though things were out of control, Su Mu understood that as a man, he had to take responsibility. Seele had taken the step, and she hadn't refused; naturally, he had to step up.
"No!" Black Seele shook her head solemnly. "Don't tell anyone yet."
Su Mu looked at her playfully. "Oh? Why? Do you like a secret office romance?"
"N-No! It's just that Big Sister likes you too. If she finds out I got ahead of her, she might be mad at ."
Su Mu froze. "But you can't keep it from Bronya forever. It's impossible. You know—I have to take responsibility. I can't let you be 'naless' forever."
"Hmph... you actually have so backbone. Seems Seele didn't pick the wrong man." Black Seele snorted, the blush on her face mostly fading. "Once you're together with Big Sister, then you can tell her about us."
"Eh?" The bombshell left Su Mu stunned. The situation was getting weird. Seele, Bronya's sister, wanted to help him "conquer" Bronya? "Can you really accept that?"
"Hmph, of course I can't. A guy like you doesn't deserve Big Sister.... But I don't want Seele to be sad."
"You really dote on Seele."
"Seele and I are one; being good to her is only natural." Black Seele tilted her chin up proudly. "Anyway, wait for my signal on this. I'll create opportunities for you and Sister Bronya."
Su Mu let out a helpless laugh. He had to admit Black Seele was sothing else, actually talking about helping him build a harem... "Alright, I'll work hard." Su Mu didn't really want to refuse. His rational side warned him he might end up like a certain "School Days" protagonist, but he couldn't bear to see Seele hurt. On balance, he could only agree.
After getting his promise, Black Seele nodded with satisfaction and handed the body back to Seele.
"Brother... Su Mu." Seele stood before him, flustered. Clearly, her mind was a ss from what just happened.
Su Mu reached out and ruffled her hair. "I'll be in your care from now on, Seele."
Seele froze, then began bowing frantically. " too! This humble girl... please guide ! I'm in your care—"
Watching the panicked Seele, Su Mu laughed. "Don't be so stiff. Relax."
"Y-Yes...." Seele and Black Seele were opposites, but their reactions were both adorable. Su Mu had thought so before, but since they weren't in that kind of relationship then... now that the paper wall was broken, he could say it officially: "Seele is really cute."
Seele was even more incoherent, waving her hands wildly. "Eh-eh, I, I..."
Su Mu didn't say more, pulling Seele into his arms and breathing in the scent of her hair. Seele was uncomfortable at first, but she gradually relaxed.
"Brother Su Mu, sorry.... Other was a bit too much."
"It's fine. I like that Seele too."
"Didn't you say you didn't want to date?"
"Mhm. But I've changed my mind."
"So cunning...." Seele gave him a mock glare, but her heart was sweet.
"So, about Bronya... should we...?" Su Mu wanted to drop the "harem" idea; he wanted to be loyal.
"No, Other and I agreed on this. Also, I want Sister Bronya to be happy too." Seele refused him flatly. Even White Seele said so; it seed there was no room for negotiation.
"Alright." Su Mu eventually gave in to Seele and didn't ntion it again.
