The door slammed open, and Rozaliya stormed into the room. Her usually cheerful face was set in a determined frown, red horns protruding from her head. The sight made Y/n's heart sink.
Rozaliya: STOP BULLYING MATSHUKA, BROTHER Y/N! Matushka is doing her utmost to look after the orphanage kids. Do you honestly believe that losing the children does not weigh heavily on her heart?
Y/n was speechless, not just because of Rozaliya's words but because of her appearance. His eyes widened in shock.

Y/n: R... red horns... a tail... and this energy level... For god's sake, Matushka, did you transplant Honkai beast blood into Rozaliya and Liliya as well?! Did you have to fall this low?
Cocolia struggled to maintain her composure, her face a mask of controlled emotions.
Cocolia: (stuttering) There's a-
Y/n: Shut it! I don't want to hear your explanations. I've had enough of it for a day.
Rozaliya stepped forward, trying to defuse the situation.
Rozaliya: Brother Y/n, please hear me out. It's not what you think. Matushka is not at fault for this transformation. It's my fault for running away from the orphanage. This transformation is a consequence of my impulsive decision, and I bear the guilt for it.
Y/n: (frowning) What do you mean?
Rozaliya: You see, Liliya and I were... bored in the orphanage. We weren't doing anything, so we... we made a rash decision. We... ran away from the orphanage and stumbled right into a Honkai beast colony. By the time rescue arrived, the both of us were already wounded.
Y/n: And that's when the transformation happened?
Rozaliya: (nodding) Yes. Our lives were in danger. Matushka had no choice but to transfuse the Honkai blood onto our bodies. It was either that or... or lose us completely. It was the only way
As Y/n assessed the situation calmly, he pondered and put his hand over his head in distress.
Y/n: (sighing deeply) I understand the situation, Rozaliya. But this... this isn't right. You're still just kids. You shouldn't have had to go through this. If only the caretaker had supervised you guys tightly when I wasn't around, this wouldn't have happened
Rozaliya: But Brother Y/n, this gives us strength. We can help protect the orphanage now. We're not just helpless kids anymore.
Before Y/n could respond, the door to the room creaked open again, and Liliya entered, yawning and rubbing her eyes.
