It was another snowy night.
While everyone was gathered around their fireplaces at home, two suspicious figures appeared at St. Freya.
Hiding in the bushes, the two figures shivered from the cold.
"Liliya, Bronya, are they really here?" The pink-haired girl poked her head out of the bushes and looked around.
"Yes, Mom said Bronya was captured by bad guys and locked up here." The blue-haired girl looked at a map.
But now, the map was useless because they were already inside St. Freya Academy.
The map didn't have a more precise location.
"But it's so big here, how are we going to find Bronya?" The pink-haired girl looked around, then shrank back into the bushes.
"Perhaps we should go home, Mom will be worried," the blue-haired girl, Liliya, said calmly.
"Liliya ~ I know Mom will be angry, but, Liliya, don't you want to find Sister Bronya?" The pink-haired girl, Rozaliya, held Liliya's shoulders with both hands and looked into her eyes as she spoke.
"Liliya also wants to find Sister Bronya, but, the consequences of Mom getting angry..."
"..." Rozaliya listened to Liliya's words, recalling the consequences of their mother's anger. "But, we're already here. If we go back now, Mom will probably ground us too."
"Yes, the two of us have already exceeded our outdoor activity time. Mom should be looking for us now," Liliya nodded.
"Liliya, why didn't you remind me earlier?"
"Liliya did remind Rozaliya, but at that time Rozaliya completely ignored what Liliya said and just dragged Liliya onto a ship bound for the Far East."
"Is that so?" Rozaliya's head dripped with sweat from guilt. "Anyway, let's find Sister Bronya first."
With that, Rozaliya walked out of the bushes.
After Liliya sighed, she followed Rozaliya out.
The time wasn't too late yet; it had just turned night, and winter nights always came earlier.
So, although all the students had left the Academy, there were still some teachers around.
The two hid all the way until they reached the teaching building area.
"Liliya, Liliya, do you think Sister Bronya is locked up in these buildings?" The two hid behind a trash can.
But were they really hiding, just standing under a street lamp like that?
Just then, a teacher passing by on the road said, "School's out. Aren't you cold staying outside?"
The teacher walked up to the trash can and looked at the two of them.
"Liliya, have we been discovered?"
"Rozaliya, it's obvious we've been discovered," Liliya sighed.
Then the two immediately ran towards the teaching building.
The teacher watched them run directly into the teaching building from beside the trash can, then touched her face and muttered, "Am I that scary?"
But seeing the two run into the teaching building, she thought, "They probably forgot something in the classroom."
Then the teacher stopped bothering with the two little girls and continued walking towards her residence.
"Liliya, Liliya, we've successfully infiltrated!" Rozaliya stood in the hallway and said to Liliya.
"Yes, Rozaliya, we have successfully entered," Liliya said from the corner of the wall.
The two then began to wander around the teaching building brazenly.
They showed no intention of looking for anyone.
Whenever they saw someone, they would hide to the side, but their hiding was completely exposed to people's view.
However, the teachers who occasionally passed by didn't say anything, only assuming the two were playing some game.
Occasionally, someone would sigh, "Youth is truly wonderful."
The two whispered in the hallway, occasionally walking into a classroom to look around.
Looking at the neatly arranged desks and chairs in the classroom, the two realized that this place was very similar to where they studied at their orphanage.
"Liliya, have we come to the wrong place? This doesn't look like a place where people are locked up," Rozaliya opened another classroom door, looked at the desks and chairs inside, and said to Liliya.
Liliya didn't speak, she just walked into the classroom and looked at a seat.
Seeing the Homu doll in the desk drawer, Liliya took the Homu doll out.
"Oh! Liliya is amazing! You can actually find a Homu doll!" Rozaliya ran over and looked at the Homu doll in Liliya's hand.
"Idiot Rozaliya, this is Sister Bronya's Homu doll." Liliya hugged the Homu doll to her chest.
"Oh! Sister Bronya's clue! GET!" Rozaliya said loudly.
However, Rozaliya's voice was too loud.
Himeko, who had just walked out of the office and was planning to go home, heard Rozaliya's words and walked towards the classroom.
Standing at the doorway, Himeko saw the two unfamiliar girls and walked straight over.
The two also saw Himeko and immediately squatted under the table.
Himeko watched their clumsy attempt at hiding.
"Alright, you two little ones, which class are you from? I haven't seen you before," Himeko asked with a yawn.
"Liliya, Liliya, have we been discovered?" Rozaliya whispered to Liliya.
"Idiot Rozaliya, we've definitely been discovered," Liliya sighed.
Then the two crawled out from under the desk.
"What are you doing at school so late?" Himeko asked with a frown.
"Liliya, Liliya, should we tell her we're looking for Sister Bronya?" Rozaliya whispered.
"Idiot Rozaliya, you've already said'Sister Bronya'," Liliya sighed.
Then, Liliya said to Himeko, "Big sister, do you know where our Sister Bronya is?"
"Looking for Bronya? Bronya never said she had sisters," Himeko said, looking at the two.
Hearing Himeko's words, the two instantly made pitiful expressions.
"Liliya, Liliya, has Sister Bronya forgotten us?" Rozaliya hugged Liliya.
"Rozaliya, Rozaliya, apparently, Sister Bronya has forgotten us," Liliya hugged Rozaliya.
Looking at the two of them, Himeko sighed.
"Alright, if you're looking for Bronya, follow me. I'm off work anyway," Himeko said to the two.
As for their identities, Himeko didn't care much. After all, their family was already considered the highest combat power of St. Freya Academy.
So even if the two were suspicious characters, once they reached her house, they wouldn't be able to escape.
"Liliya, this big sister said she can take us to find Sister Bronya!" Rozaliya said happily.
"Yes, Rozaliya, this big sister is a good person," Liliya nodded.
