Thanks for the invitation! I am in Honkai, still connected Chapter 107 8 - Miss Seele and Karen

Compared to the serious atmosphere of the Tohsaka and Einzbern families, the atmosphere of the last of the Three Founding Families, the Matou family, was quite harmonious. Or rather, ever since a super-sized husky jumped into this family's courtyard and crunched up a certain worm, the atmosphere here had been very peaceful.

Every night, the Matou family's nominal head, Matou Tsuruya, would take his brother, Matou Kariya, to the graveyard to pay respects to their father with a pot of wine and a few dishes of snacks. Neither spring, sumr, autumn, or winter, nor wind, frost, rain, or snow could stop these two filial sons of Fuyuki. It was said that many passersby had heard the Matou family's two n crying hysterically, emitting all sorts of neurotic laughter.

Miss Seele sat in the very Japanese-style courtyard, gazing blankly at the clear and beautiful scenery around her. She had co here with Li Zihan. Subsequently, Li Zihan had taken Karna to Einzbern Castle, leaving her temporarily here.

The Matou family was a very wealthy family and naturally did not lack things like maids, so Miss Seele, who had not been a maid for very long, didn't have any work to do.

"What kind of person is Big Brother, exactly?" The girl, feeling that the identity of the young man who had pulled her out of the Sea of Quanta was sowhat complicated, pouted her rosy lips and muttered to herself.

In just a few days, Seele had realized that the big brother who seed so sunny and cheerful might actually be a very important figure.

He made a deal with that iceberg of a man who looked very scary, took her away from the Sea of Quanta, then entered an academy city called Clock Tower with a very oppressive atmosphere, and then sped off to the Far East to start so "Black Grail War."

She felt that he was soone who was super powerful and super all-around, just like Bronya-neechan.

Miss Seele recalled a certain person's face, her cheeks flushed slightly, and thought to herself.

"You silly girl, are you just giving yourself away for free?" The voice of her other self echoed in Seele's ears, sounding sowhat troubled, as she felt that the other girl's fondness towards a certain guy was rising to an abnormal level.

"It's almost a cliché for a girl to offer her love to the hero who saved her, and given your personality, it's normal that you'd end up giving yourself away after spending so ti with him."

"But aren't you giving yourself away a little too fast?"

"I-Is that how it is?" The girl, suddenly described like this by her other self, turned beet red, as if she was about to bleed.

"Giving yourself away at lightspeed." Because of the Stigmata, the "Seele" who was connected to Seele put it succinctly.

"It's even affecting my emotions."

"S-Sorry, other ." The girl, evaluated as giving herself away at lightspeed, blushed scarlet and quickly apologized to her other self.

To outsiders, her actions looked rather strange.

"Big sister, do you have split personality disorder?" A little girl's voice ca from the house behind Seele.

Suddenly hearing soone calling her, Seele turned her head and saw a petite figure. It was a girl with skin that was pale to the point of being sickly, and eyes that were a rare shade of gold.

Seele recognized her. When she had first arrived here, Li Zihan had introduced the main mbers living in the Matou residence. Matou Tsuruya, who helped manage the Matou family's business; Matou Kariya, a reporter who supposedly wrote chuuni novels; and then this little girl.

Karen Ortensia, supposedly a child Big Brother had picked up from the church. He had originally planned to adopt her as a younger sister, but she didn't know which screw in his head had co loose and he recognized her as his daughter instead.

"In a way, I guess you could say I have a dual personality." Miss Seele, who did indeed have two personalities, thought for a mont and answered very seriously.

The foul-tongued girl, who shared a na with a certain naive saint, was stunned. She had just been teasing Seele for talking to herself; she hadn't expected that she really did have split personalities.

The situation was a little too bizarre, and for a mont, she didn't know how to continue the conversation.

"Then, big sister, were you talking about Father?" After a long while, the girl nad Karen spoke, changing the topic.

Father-in-law. What a strange way to address him. Miss Seele thought to herself.

She couldn't understand why Li Zihan, whose real age probably wasn't much older than her own, had suddenly decided to adopt a girl as his daughter, a girl who was also only a few years younger than him.

"Yeah, I feel like Big Brother seems to be really amazing." Seele said, not understanding what Li Zihan was up to, but feeling that he was doing sothing very important.

"Yes, that's true." The girl nad Karen nodded.

Standing in the shade of the eaves, she spoke with a calm face, delivering a rather sharp-tongued assessnt.

"Father is a very skilled lolicon pervert."

"Eh—!!" "Big Brother is a lolicon pervert?!" Seele exclaid in confusion, having a very favorable impression of Li Zihan.

Suddenly hearing a little girl who was definitely not even ten years old say that the big brother who was so kind to her was a lolicon pervert, Miss Seele widened her sapphire eyes, feeling that there was sothing wrong with her ears.

"To be precise, he's a horny old man who has a thing for all attributes in girls besides milfs and onee-sans." The white-haired girl, abnormally sharp-tongued, continued to narrate with a very emotionless expression.

"Father was often harassed by milf-type onee-sans when he was a child because he was very cute, so he has a psychological shadow when it cos to older won with great figures."

"Therefore, he has an abnormally high fondness for girls with soft personalities and petite builds, which is commonly known as a lolicon."

Words that easily triggered the urge to retort reached Miss Seele's ears, striking her like a bolt of lightning. She had never imagined that behind Li Zihan, there would be such an... indescribable past.

However, her other self's focus was different from Seele's.

"It seems like the Big Brother you're talking about is also very interested in you. Seele, you perfectly fit his fetishes."

Soft personality, petite build.

Miss Seele did indeed perfectly fit those two points. A mocking laugh echoed in Miss Seele's ears, making her face flush even redder.

Is she another love-brain? Karen thought with an eye roll, having received no shortage of candy from Aozaki Aoko and Aozaki Touko. However, these things were none of her business.

And then—

A hand chop slamd hard on Karen's head, hurting her so much that she almost shed tears.

Who was that?! A very familiar voice to Miss Karen echoed behind her, making her body stiffen slightly.

"Are you having fun talking bad about ?"

"It seems like you still have too much free ti. I'll go buy a few sets of 5-3 for you to pass the ti."
