Chapter 87: Chapter 86: Voices in the Heart, Seele's New Friend
Beep~ Beep~ Beep~
"La~ La~ La~ Yeah~"
"We are the brightest Rozaliya & Liliya Sisters!" ×2
After finishing the song, the two bouncing sisters struck a pose similar to the "Three Great Kings," each with their hips arched and chests puffed out.
With a mix of energetic and adorable voices, they declared the conclusion.
Then, Rozaliya quickly ran up to Wendy, hands on hips, and proudly asked:
"Here's our new song. How was it? Impressive, right? Want an autograph?"
Wendy looked at Rozaliya, and behind her, Liliya, despite forcing a no-expression calm, her foot drawing circles on the ground and frequent glances in this direction, betrayed her anticipation.
Wendy, with a stern face, coldly commented, "It's Inharmonious. The styles of your voices are drastically different, there is no coordination, and both of your movements don't match the rhythm. Is this what you call Idols?"
"Eh... well, our teacher also said something like that."
Rozaliya pouted, disappointed, lowering her head.
Even the pink, fluffy antennae on top of her head drooped dispiritedly.
Liliya stopped her restless movements.
Although her expression remained unchanged, it seemed like a dark cloud and drizzle appeared above her.
Wendy felt a slight twinge of guilt.
Even though they were from Anti-Entropy, these two seemed like innocent little girls. Shouldn't she be less severe?
"Cough cough! Although I say that, it's just that the training time isn't enough. In terms of innate conditions, you two are good-looking, and your voices and styles each have their uniqueness. With good training and coordination, your performance will definitely not be lacking."
"Oh! Our teacher said the same! Wait, does that mean you're a professional too?"
Rozaliya's eyes sparkled with little stars.
Wendy couldn't help but tilt her head back, avoiding her gaze.
Could she tell her that, as a former S-rank Valkyrie candidate, an elite among elites in Schickal, Wendy was once obsessively infatuated with a virtual idol – the Magic Girl Teriri?
The main reason for her obsession was Teriri's image and name, which were quite similar to the academy director she admired the most – the elegant, cute, powerful, smart Lady Theresa.
After participating in experiments, she had no chance to follow idols again and didn't know how Teriri was doing now.
Also, what about Lady Theresa? Did she still remember her?
Wendy got lost in memories, and Rozaliya had already tightly grabbed her hand.
"Then it's decided! You'll be our live guide! Our teachers are far away, so they can only teach us via online means, but it's not as effective as offline teaching. With an expert like you guiding us, we'll surely progress faster!"
Wendy raised her head, meeting Rozaliya's excited starry eyes.
Behind her, Liliya still had a blank expression, but her eyes were shining.
"Wait! I'm not being humble, but I'm really not a professional. You should find someone else..."
"Ahem! Although you say that, but I'm offering you this much!"
Rozaliya raised two fingers.
Wendy looked confused.
"Two thousand or two million? Dollars or euros?"
"...I don't know! Anyway, if you're not satisfied, we can double it!"
Rozaliya raised four fingers, shaking her head proudly.
Horns of a little devil seemed to grow on her head as she leaned towards Wendy's ear, tempting her:
"Consider it carefully. Big Brother Sigurd is rich; he can give you however much you want!"
"I don't lack money— No, that's not the point! I refuse. Listen carefully, I don't have time to play childish games with you!"
"This isn't a game! It's Rozaliya and Liliya's dream! Besides, you're not that much older than us!"
"I... can't explain. Anyway, I won't do it. It's a waste of time. Miss Seele, I think— Huh? Where's Seele? Wait a minute! Why is the door locked!?"
Wendy leaned against the door, attempting to twist the handle with her feeble hands.
The former S-rank candidate, now powerless, couldn't open a simple wooden door.
At this moment, two pairs of intense eyes appeared on both sides of Wendy's wheelchair.
"Liliya, quickly tie our new teacher to the wall, then start the next dance practice!"
"Yes!"
"Wait! Don't mess around! Let me go! I want to leave!"
...
In the living room, Seele, who was wiping the table, suddenly turned her head towards the direction of the practice room.
'It seems like I heard some strange sounds? Perhaps it's just my imagination.'
'I hope she can get along well with Rozaliya and make friends soon!'
Seele gently touched her cheek, smiling warmly.
Then, she turned to Raven, who is dressed in a maid outfit, her hand is still trying their best to tug down the short skirt that she wore, the executive of World Serpent face is as red as a tomato due to embarrassment.
"Miss Raven, are you still accustomed to the clothes and housework? I modified the clothes, so if there's anything you're not satisfied with, you can tell me."
"...Well, the skirt is a bit short."
"It's not! It looks good; I followed the proportions from a magazine."
"What magazine did you read?"
Raven raised the corner of her mouth, smirking as she asked.
Seele blushed suddenly and then waved her hand, replying vaguely, "Um... let's not worry about the details. Let's continue cleaning!"
Raven held a mop, watching as Seele suddenly increased her pace, swiftly cleaning the living room.
In no time, the already clean room became even shinier and incredibly tidy.
Seele touched her forehead, sighed lightly, and smiled with satisfaction.
Her gentle smile, against the sparkling background, seemed particularly virtuous.
Is this what they call the charm of a good wife and mother?
Wait, no, she's just a little kid, why does she exude such a strong married woman vibe?
Raven glanced at Seele's slightly moving chest and then looked at her own—hah! Your married woman vibe is stronger than her? So What? In the end, I won!
"See, cleaning is so simple! Have you learned it?"
Seele asked with a smile.
Raven tilted her head, lowered it to see the small area of floor she had been dragging the mop across for half an hour.
A few noticeable stains and the wet appearance formed a sharp contrast with the other sparkling areas.
"What do you think?"
Raven asked in return.
Her skill is long range sniping, Raven is a top-notch shooter.
Housework? Sorry, it's not on Raven's skill list.
Seele scratched her face awkwardly.
"Well, I think it's all straightforward stuff. As long as you do it with heart, you'll be fine. I can learn, and Raven, you can definitely learn too. Come on, Ganbatte!"
Seele raised her small fist, encouraging herself with a cute expression.
Raven rolled her eyes and continued working silently.
Anyway, since there's no chance for her to escape their clutches, she would just do whatever they want her to do.
Survive, that's her resistance against the cruel fate.
Housework? She'll get good at it, just like killing. As long as she grits her teeth and works hard, there's nothing she can't learn.
Seele watched Raven turn away silently and sighed. 'Wendy is doing better; she should be able to make friends with everyone soon. As for Miss Raven, I always feel like she's carrying a lot in her heart. I really hope she can integrate soon. Everyone here is nice, and as long as she stays a bit longer, she'll surely understand.'
[Oh, everyone is nice? I wonder which little idiot it is. Whenever that pink-haired one with different eye colors sees her alone, she shivers in fear!]
'Oh? It's you! You finally came out to talk to Seele again! Where are you? Do you have a name? I'm Seele. Can we be friends?'
[How noisy.]
'Did it disturb you? I'm sorry, is Seele's voice too loud? '
[...If you can just continue being dumb like this. Believe it or not, sooner or later, you'll be bullied to tears.]
'No way! Seele has so many friends. Big Brother Sigurd, Sister Bronya, and Mama Cocolia will protect Seele! And, Miss Sin Mal is not a bad person, even though she seems a bit stern, she has never bullied Seele.'
[Hmph, it's better be that way! Be more assertive next time. If you embarrass yourself like this again, I'll make you regret it!]
Then, the voice in her mind disappeared, and no matter how Seele called, there was no response.
After a while, Seele lowered her head with a sense of loss.
'Oh... do you hate Seele now?'
[No! I want to sleep! Stop bothering me!]
Seele's eyes lit up, and she nodded with a cheerful smile.
It seems like she made a new friend again.
Should she tell Big Brother Sigurd about it?
Well, she should wait at least until she knows the friend's name before mentioning it!
