The night passed without a word, and it was morning the next day.
After Bronya woke up, she looked at Wendy lying next to her and sighed.
"Sister Bronya." After Bronya opened her eyes, Wendy also opened hers.
Wendy directly hugged Bronya, "Let's sleep a little longer, Sister Bronya."
It was still early, and Bronya hadn't thought of getting up, so she just went with the flow and slept for a while longer.
After Bronya fell asleep again, Wendy opened her eyes once more.
"Sister Bronya, I won't let you go," Wendy whispered into Bronya's ear.
"Sister Seele, let's see if I can win you over, win over the position in Sister Bronya's heart," Wendy looked out the window.
Outside the window, a blue-purple butterfly slowly flew by.
When Mei came to call Bronya for breakfast, she had just knocked on the door when Wendy opened it and walked out.
"Sister Mei, good morning," Wendy greeted directly.
Mei paused for a moment, then said, "Good morning, Wendy, is Bronya awake?"
"Sister Bronya is already awake; she's getting dressed," Wendy nodded and said.
"Alright, then let's go downstairs for breakfast; breakfast is ready." Mei said nothing more; she was quite familiar with Wendy's current state.
After all, she had been like that before, only her target was Kiana.
And she wasn't as bold as Wendy.
Back then, her other self had cursed her in her heart for who knows how long.
However, Mei also knew about Bronya having a younger sister.
She wondered what Bronya would ultimately choose.
After going downstairs, Mei looked at the few people already seated at the dining table and sat directly next to Kiana.
After Bronya came down, Kiana quietly asked Mei, "Mei, what's wrong with Bronya? Why is she coming down so late today?"
Kiana also felt that Bronya's mood was a bit off, so she didn't dare to ask Bronya directly and instead chose to ask Mei, who was next to her.
"Don't ask; just eat properly," Mei gently tapped Kiana's head.
During breakfast, everyone was relatively quiet.
Only after breakfast.
"Aunt! Do we still have training today?" Kiana ran directly to Theresa's side and asked.
Theresa looked at Himeko, then said, "No training today; just adjust your state and wait for missions."
"Yay! Then I'm going to play!" Saying that, Kiana ran to Bronya's side.
"Bronya, come on, let's continue today! I refuse to believe I can't beat you in games!" Saying that, Kiana pulled Bronya away from Wendy's side.
Wendy only reached out her hand but didn't catch Bronya.
Mei sighed at this moment, "Let's go, Wendy, we two will watch them."
Wendy turned to look at Mei, then followed Mei to the living room.
While Kiana and Bronya were playing games, Mei and Wendy quietly discussed something behind them.
While discussing, the two occasionally glanced at Kiana and Bronya.
Aili and Fu Hua, on the other hand, did not stay at home.
The two of them still had to go see Yingrixue.
After all, they were the ones who brought her to Saint Freya.
When the two arrived at the training ground, they saw Yingrixue standing alone.
"Why aren't you training with them ♬~" Aili walked directly behind Yingrixue and suddenly popped her head out.
But apparently, Aili had already been discovered.
Yingrixue shook her head, then said, "I need to observe their cooperation methods."
"Oh, I see. But which lovely ones are your teammates?" Aili looked at the field.
Yingrixue pointed a direction to Aili, and Aili immediately saw a familiar person.
"Eh? Little Tianwen?"
"Does Miss Aili know her?" Yingrixue turned to look at Aili.
"She's someone I rescued during a Honkai incident. I didn't expect her to have already passed the assessment," Aili said with some emotion.
So this is what a genius is like? How long has it been since that Honkai incident?
"How is it, Xiaoxue, how do you feel about your teammates ♬~" Aili asked curiously.
"They are too enthusiastic..." Yingrixue thought for a while before coming up with this adjective.
"Enthusiastic?" Aili said with some confusion.
As soon as Aili finished speaking, Chen Tianwen ran over to them.
After reaching them, Chen Tianwen immediately said enthusiastically, "Sister Ellie!" Then Chen Tianwen pounced into Aili's arms.
After Aili gently patted her head, Chen Tianwen finally let go of Aili.
"So, Sister Ellie and Sister Xue know each other?" Chen Tianwen looked at Yingrixue, then at Aili.
"Xiaoxue was brought to the Academy by Hua and me," Aili said with a smile.
"Oh! I see, no wonder Sister Xue is so strong," Chen Tianwen nodded directly.
"Are there only two of you in your team?" Aili looked at the others on the training ground with some confusion, not seeing anyone else alone.
"No, actually there's one more, but her personality... she should be at..." Saying that, Chen Tianwen put her hand above her eyes and looked around.
In a moment, Chen Tianwen pointed in a direction, "Found her!"
Following the direction Chen Tianwen pointed, Aili only saw a tree.
When they reached the tree, Chen Tianwen reached out and knocked on the tree trunk.
Then, a person's voice sounded above their heads.
"Tianwen, is something wrong?" Saying that, the person yawned.
"Seriously, why are you still slacking off here in broad daylight? Hurry up, come down and train!" Chen Tianwen shouted upwards.
Aili then saw a person lying in the intersection of branches above their heads.
This person rolled over and jumped directly from the tree.
"Oh, it's Lady Elysia, good morning." Saying that, the person yawned again.
"Sister Ellie, this is our last teammate, her name is..."
"Pardo Felis..." Aili directly spoke the name of the girl in front of her, and Aili put her hand on her head and ruffled it.
"Sister Ellie, you know Pardo?" Chen Tianwen widened her eyes and looked at Pardo, seemingly asking, 'Why didn't you tell me you knew Sister Ellie!'
"Eh? Lady Elysia knows me?" Pardo looked at Aili with some confusion.
"Just call me Sister Ellie, like Little Tianwen," Aili said directly.
"I didn't expect their last teammate to be you," Aili said, nodding.
In that case, what will this team eventually become?
After chatting for a while, under Aili's supervision, Pardo finally entered the training ground.
She trained in coordination with Chen Tianwen and Yingrixue.
Aili and Fu Hua stood by the side of the training ground.
"Hua, I didn't expect to see Pardo here," Aili said, looking at Pardo in the training ground.
"Mm, is she Pardo's counterpart in this era?"
"Looks like it." Aili then thought of where Pardo was slacking off just now, "But, it really is Pardo's personality; she's just like a little cat ♬~"
After watching for a while, the two left the training ground.
It seemed that Yingrixue was integrating quickly.
The problem was with their team: one was overly enthusiastic, one was overly cold, plus one who would slack off at any time.
It really was a strange team.
Extra: The Cat's Curiosity Was Piqued.
Inside the Elysian Realm.
Seeing Pardo sleeping on a tree branch outside.
Sister Ellie and Eden-jie exchanged glances.
Their eyes were filled with intense curiosity.
Although they knew about the existence of doppelgangers, and had indeed met Yae Sakura.
No, it should be said that besides Purple Aili, there were other doppelgangers in her era, whether it was Himeko or Mei, they all had similar people in their respective times.
So, what about the others?
Furthermore, Sister Ellie especially wanted to know what Pardo's reaction would be when she saw another Pardo outside.
Sister Ellie walked directly to a sofa, where she had previously seen Purple Aili take Pardo's things.
And every time Purple Aili took something, Pardo would come out to take a look.
In this way, Pardo, whose whereabouts were originally difficult to ascertain, was now the easiest to find.
Moving the sofa aside, and looking at the small box behind it, Sister Ellie directly reached in and pulled out a strange drink.
As soon as she took it out, Pardo's head popped out from beside a light fixture above, and after seeing that it was Sister Ellie, Pardo jumped down directly.
"Sister Ellie! Please don't learn this kind of thing from the other you, these are all things I painstakingly collected!" Pardo complained.
"Oh, Pardofelis, aren't things collected meant to be used? Besides, these drinks have an expiration date ♪~" Saying that, Sister Ellie directly opened the cap.
After smelling it and confirming it was just an ordinary drink, Sister Ellie took the drink and walked towards Eden-jie.
"Hey, Sister Ellie, listen to me, even if you want to take my things, you have to tell me first, and besides, I painstakingly collected them, I want to drink them too." Pardo directly reached out and grabbed Sister Ellie's arm, following behind her.
"Eden-jie, I've found Pardo for you ♪~" Sister Ellie said, taking a few cups from a nearby cabinet.
"Huh? Eden-jie wants to see me?" Pardo scratched her head after hearing that, "Eden-jie, what's up?"
Saying that, Pardo directly took a cup of the drink that Sister Ellie had already poured and began to sip it.
"Pardo, you can take a look at this." Eden-jie pointed to the screen in front of them.
After glancing at it, Pardo immediately frowned and asked, "Eden-jie, that... that shouldn't be me, right?"
"She is Pardo." Eden-jie specifically said it that way.
"She's me?" Pardo looked at herself on the screen again carefully, "No, no, this definitely isn't me, how come I don't remember ever going to school!"
Pardo loudly retorted.
"Pardofelis, have you forgotten? This device is for watching your other Sister Ellie ♪~" Sister Ellie gently stroked Pardo's hair, occasionally touching Pardo's cat ears.
"Ah? This is what the other Sister Ellie sees?!" Pardo's eyes widened directly.
"So, on Sister Ellie's side, there's another me?!" Pardo pointed surprisingly at the version of herself on the screen who was slacking off during training.
"So, I also have a doppelganger like Sister Sakura, is that right!"
"Tsk, but this me, why is she so lazy? She should go train." Pardo said, speaking of her other self with a tone of disdain.
"Pardofelis, she was very much like you back then ♪~" Sister Ellie placed her hand on Pardo's tail, stroking its fur repeatedly.
"No way, I wasn't that lazy..." Pardo's voice grew softer and softer, as if, back then, she really was the laziest one?
Pardo suddenly flicked her tail, snatching it back from Sister Ellie's hand, "Sister Ellie, don't play with my tail every time, it'll shed!"
"Haha, it's fine, Pardofelis, fluffy is very cute ♪~"
"Even if you say I'm cute, you still can't play with my tail!" Pardo grabbed her own tail, and pulled out a comb from who knows where, combing the fur on her tail.
At this moment, Sister Ellie directly reached out and grabbed the can that was about to jump onto Pardo's head, pulling it into her embrace.
"Indeed, fluffy is still too cute ♪~" Sister Ellie rubbed against the can, which originally wanted to extend its claws, but in the end, it obediently let Sister Ellie rub it.
"Hey, hey, hey, Can!"
"Alright, Sister Ellie, stop playing with Pardo." Eden-jie's gentle voice entered Sister Ellie's ears.
"Okay ♪~" Sister Ellie immediately released the can, then sat next to Eden-jie.
"Pardo, what are your thoughts on this doppelganger of yours?" Eden-jie asked, looking at Pardo who was holding the can and stroking its fur.
"What thoughts could I have, Eden-jie? It's just another me." Pardo rolled her eyes, saying somewhat helplessly.
"Is that so." Eden-jie shook her head slightly, "Pardo, don't you want to see what this other you will grow into?"
"Come on, Eden-jie, I'm not a child anymore, okay? When Vill-V-jie told you about this thing, I was right there, okay?"
"This thing follows Sister Ellie, so there's no way to keep watching her." Pardo said with some disinterest.
"It seems you didn't really listen to the end back then." Eden-jie said with a smile.
"Yes, Pardo must have found the explanation too boring, so she went off to play halfway through, right ♪~" Sister Ellie also said with a smile.
"Oh my ♪~" Sister Ellie quickly walked behind Pardo, then hugged Pardo and walked to the front of the screen.
"Pardofelis, this device, you see, it can..." Saying that, Sister Ellie took Pardo's hand and pressed it directly onto the screen in front of them.
Immediately after, Pardo found that her perspective had suddenly changed to a different place.
"Huh! Sister Ellie!!" Pardo quickly turned her head, but did not see Sister Ellie.
Then, Pardo saw another her standing in front of her.
"You..." Pardo hadn't finished speaking when her perspective quickly returned to the Elysian Realm.
"Sister Ellie, what exactly happened just now!" Pardo said, her fur ruffled.
"This is another function of this device, it allows us to observe her from another perspective." Sister Ellie pointed to Sister Ellie on the screen.
"Otherwise, how do you think we're seeing this image right now ♪~" Sister Ellie rubbed Pardo's head.
Soon, Pardo's ruffled tail slowly returned to its unruffled state.
Then, Pardo looked at the screen in front of her with curiosity; knowing the capabilities of this device, Pardo became somewhat eager to try it out.
For a period of time afterward, a series of 'hauntings' (chuckle) occurred within St. Freya Academy.
