I'm in Honkai Impact's Infinite Abyss!

Bronya opened her eyes and gazed at the gradually familiar ceiling of the St. Freya dormitory.

"Mmm..."

Perhaps this was the most peaceful night the gray-haired girl had slept since the X-10 experiment.

Bronya turned her head slightly, and Seele was curled up next to her. Her hands tightly wrapped around Bronya's arms, her gentle breath tickling Bronya's ear, making her feel ticklish.

Unable to resist, Bronya reached out and gently touched Seele's cheek with her fingertips, the soft, warm feeling making her gaze even softer, as if touching the most beautiful treasure in the world.

Unknowingly, Seele also opened her eyes.

The two looked at each other in silence. After a long time, sunlight seeped through the curtains and cast a soft glow on the bed in the bedroom, giving Seele and Bronya's faces a gentle radiance.

The gray-haired girl murmured, "...Incredible."

This was the scene she had longed for, everything seemed like a beautiful dream, giving Bronya a strong sense of unreality.

But whether it was the soft warmth she felt on her arm, the emotions and palpitations in her heart, or even the heavily modified Bunny 19, which was more active than before, they all proved that everything Bronya saw was real.

"I also find it somewhat incredible, Sister Bronya," Seele whispered, "But, it's all thanks to Sister Luo Lin. She helped me a lot in the Sea of Quanta."

"Luo Lin...I never thought she would be so capable."

Last night, Bronya and Seele had a good conversation about their experiences during this time, and then sighed at each other's "eventful" lives.

Through Seele's narration, the gray-haired girl learned about Luo Lin's strength from the side and finally realized that this Valkyrie far exceeded her imagination.

Moreover, Seele also said that Luo Lin actually knew that Bronya was from Anti-Entropy...

This was strange. Aren't Anti-Entropy and Schicksal enemies? Why didn't she just arrest her? And even let her act in St. Freya Academy without any restrictions?

No, maybe there were restrictions, but she just didn't notice them.

"Don't worry, Seele has been with her for a long time and can confirm that Sister Luo Lin is actually a very good person. If she were selfish, she wouldn't have reached out to strangers in the Sea of Quanta, right?"

Seele quickly sensed Bronya's unease and took the gray-haired girl's hand and pressed it against her chest, saying, "And...through some coincidences, I also know Miss Luo Lin's... um, let's say 'secret'?"

"Secret?"

"Hm."

Seele smiled softly, "After all, this body is actually borrowed from Miss Luo Lin. Its owner actually left very vivid emotions inside, warmth, love... Anyway, it's all good."

"Understood, Bronya will continue to maintain her previous code of conduct and continue to live in St. Freya Academy..."

Bronya caught the key word in Seele's previous words and had a new doubt, "But, Seele, what exactly is this 'borrowing the body'?"

"I'm not too sure either, but Miss Luo Lin said she obtained a special ability by chance, had many different bodies, and used the abilities inherent in the body."

Seele scratched her head, "Based on this characteristic, Miss Luo Lin came up with a way to bypass the barrier between the Sea of Quanta and reality, making me able to borrow this body to communicate with Sister Bronya."

"So that means you're actually still inside the Sea of Quanta?"

"Yes..." Seele's voice gradually lowered, "But, Sister Bronya, don't worry, Seele is doing fine in the Sea of Quanta! I can still eat delicious food now and observe the real world through Miss Luo Lin's perspective!"

So previously you couldn't eat well, you couldn't even eat, and you couldn't see the real world, right?

Bronya looked at the startled Seele, sighed, and said in a rare weak tone, "It seems that there is no perfect thing in this world, the search for a way into the Sea of Quanta cannot stop..."

Seele's voice gradually lowered, "Sister Bronya..."

"It's okay, Seele, knowing your current situation, Bronya is still very happy." The gray-haired girl comforted Seele by patting her head, "And, Bronya also has to find a way to thank Miss Luo Lin. I just don't know how to go about it..."

How should an Anti-Entropy spy express gratitude to a Schicksal Valkyrie?

Although this question sounded absurd in various ways, the gray-haired girl had to think about it.

While Bronya was pondering, the doorbell suddenly rang, followed by a voice that Bronya was very familiar with.

Kiana shouted loudly, "Bronya, are you still asleep? It's time to go to class!"

"This..."

The gray-haired girl looked at Seele, momentarily unsure of what to do.

"Then let's go to class first, Sister Bronya."

Seele sat up, her beautiful white dress from the Otherworld Twins reappearing on her body amidst the blue butterflies.

Then, the girl disappeared with a swoosh, leaving Bronya with wide eyes.

"Seele!?"

"Sister Bronya, I'm right here with you."

Seele appeared in time, floating in the air in a strange, anti-gravity posture, her hands resting on Bronya's shoulders, playfully rubbing her cheek against Bronya's.

"After experiencing so much, I actually have some magical powers now, you know? This should be a kind of invisibility in a sense? It's just more powerful... Huh?"

Bronya grabbed the hand of the black-haired, blue-eyed girl, and pleaded in a rare weak voice, "Seele, I...I thought..."

---You would leave me quietly and suddenly like last time... leaving me alone.

"Ah..."

Seele looked at Bronya's face, felt her trembling hand, and the intense heartbeat...

The black-haired, blue-eyed girl said earnestly, "Sister Bronya, this time I won't leave without saying goodbye. Don't worry!"

Bronya took a deep breath and nodded, "...Mmm."

Outside the dormitory, Kiana was a little worried and rang the doorbell twice, followed by the appearance of Raiden Mei's voice.

"I don't know, but I have Bronya's key... Shall we go in and see?"

Seele looked at Bronya, reached out and touched the gray-haired girl's head, comforting her as she used to do.

Then, the blue light flickered, and Seele disappeared from Bronya's sight.

Bronya quickly dressed and shouted to the two people waiting at the door, "Kiana, Mei-nee-sama, Bronya is fine!"

The tone of the white haired girl still sounded somewhat suspicious, "Huh? Really?"

"I just slept in today."

Bronya could feel a gentle weight on her shoulders, an invisible hand stroking her hair, collar, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Seele?"

"I'll help you tidy up."

Soon, the Bronya in the mirror was completely refreshed, and Seele even skillfully tied her hair into a double spiral ponytail, instantly restoring the girl's state.

Hearing Seele's satisfied hum, Bronya also felt much better.

Then, the gray-haired girl felt something like a dragonfly lightly touching the water, a soft, warm touch flashed across her face, and then a gentle "chirp" sound reached Bronya's ears through the air.

"Sister Bronya, I'm right here with you."

"Mmm..."

Bronya absentmindedly opened the dormitory door, only to find Kiana and Raiden Mei staring at her with strange eyes.

"W-What's wrong?"

Kiana tapped her head with the back of her hand, puzzled, "You don't have a fever, why is your face so red?"

"...Let's just hurry to class."

Bronya lowered her head and walked quickly.
