Himeko walked home with the two of them.
She watched them, sometimes running to the roadside to play in the snow, sometimes hiding in the bushes.
Himeko only occasionally looked back at them, checking if they were still following.
Watching them, Himeko felt that this was the mindset children their age should have.
After all, whether it was Mei and her companions, or the Valkyries in training at the school, they were all too mature, lacking the youthful vigor a child should possess.
"You two, don't get lost, we're almost home," Himeko called out behind her.
"We know, Big Sister!" Rozaliya pulled Liliya out from a nearby bush.
Seeing the snow on their heads, Himeko reached out and tidied them up.
"Be careful when you play, don't fall," Himeko told them.
"Okay, Big Sister, we'll be careful!" Rozaliya pulled Liliya and ran forward.
"Don't run too far, wait for me at the intersection ahead, we need to turn there," Himeko quickly told them.
"We know~"
"If only Mei and the others could be this lively," Himeko then imagined in her mind.
Then she shivered.
"Forget it, one Kiana is enough," Himeko muttered softly.
When they reached the intersection, she saw the two of them standing behind a street lamp, trying to hide their bodies behind the pole.
"Alright, come out, I can see you. Just a little further this way, and we'll be home," Himeko said, walking in one direction.
Rozaliya and Liliya darted in and out of the bushes by the roadside, always staying close to Himeko.
Upon reaching the doorstep, Himeko waved, and the two quickly came to her side.
She looked at their clothes and hair, which she had just tidied up.
Himeko reached out and tidied them up again.
Then Himeko opened the door and walked inside.
Once inside, Himeko turned to look at the two, who were peeking their heads out from the doorway.
"What's wrong? Aren't you looking for Bronya? Come in," Himeko said, taking out two pairs of unworn cotton slippers from the shoe cabinet.
"Liliya, Liliya, do we really have to go in?" Rozaliya whispered.
"Rozaliya, to see Sister Bronya, we need to go in," Liliya said, then walked to Himeko's side and put on the cotton slippers.
"Yes, to see Sister Bronya!" Rozaliya walked in and put on the cotton slippers.
Bronya, who was in the living room, heard a familiar voice and walked out of the living room.
She saw the A-Lin sisters at the entrance.
"Liliya, Rozaliya, why are you two here?" Bronya's eyes widened.
"Sister Bronya!" x2 Liliya and Rozaliya directly pounced on her.
Bronya was almost knocked over by the two of them.
"So they really are your sisters, Bronya. Why didn't you tell us before?" Himeko walked to Bronya's side and said.
"Teacher Himeko..." Bronya started, then fell silent.
"Alright, if you don't know how to explain, just forget it. Anyway, the two of them are here for you, so remember to take good care of them," Himeko said, then grabbed a beer and walked into the living room.
"Sister Himeko, you're back," Elysia, sitting on the sofa, greeted her.
"Yes, I came back a bit late today," Himeko sat down casually next to Elysia.
"Bronya just walked out. Did someone Bronya knows arrive?" Elysia asked curiously.
Bronya had heard the sound and immediately went to check the entrance.
"Yes, Bronya's sisters have arrived."
As Himeko spoke, Bronya also walked in with the A-Lin sisters.
Seeing their distinctive hair colors, Elysia recognized them, but they didn't have the horns and tails that Elysia was familiar with.
"Oh~ such cute children, Bronya, your sisters are very cute ♬~" Elysia said, looking at the little girls behind Bronya.
"Elysia," Bronya nodded, then pulled the A-Lin sisters to sit on the sofa.
"Wow, Bronya, you have two such cute sisters, and you never introduced them to us," Kiana sat curiously opposite Bronya, looking at Rozaliya for a moment, then at Liliya.
"Because Bronya didn't know how to introduce them," Bronya averted her gaze.
"Liliya, Liliya, will this white-haired one opposite us eat us?" Rozaliya said, hugging one of Bronya's arms.
"Rozaliya, Rozaliya, Sister Bronya will protect us, we don't need to be afraid." Although she said that, Liliya still tightly hugged Bronya's other arm.
"Liliya, Rozaliya, they are all Bronya's companions, they won't hurt you," Bronya softly told the A-Lin sisters.
Then she looked at Elysia and the others.
"These two are Bronya's sisters from the orphanage," Bronya said.
"Rozaliya, stand up for a moment," Bronya told Rozaliya.
Although Rozaliya didn't know why Bronya wanted her to stand up, she still did as told.
"This is Rozaliya, and the one sitting here is Liliya. They are both Bronya's sisters," Bronya gave a brief introduction.
After Bronya finished introducing them, Rozaliya sat down and then looked curiously at the people in the room.
Seeing the timid two, Kiana stood up directly and then poked Rozaliya's cheek.
After poking several times, Rozaliya directly opened her mouth and bit down.
"Bronya! Quick! Make her let go!" Kiana quickly yelled at Bronya.
"Rozaliya, don't bite the idiot, you'll become stupid," Bronya told Rozaliya.
Then Rozaliya immediately opened her mouth.
"They really are cute ♬~" Elysia propped her chin and looked at the two little pink and blue cuties.
Plus the expressionless Bronya in the middle.
"Sister is also very beautiful," Liliya said.
Liliya just felt that Elysia was very gentle, and she spoke without thinking.
"Oh, Liliya is also very cute ♬~" Elysia reached out and ruffled Liliya's hair.
Then she took a few candies from the coffee table, unwrapped them, and put them to Liliya's mouth, "Here, have a candy. In a little while, we can have dinner ♬~"
Seeing Rozaliya's expression, Elysia unwrapped another one and fed it to her as well.
