Suiseiseki stood in the doorway, her eyes narrowing slightly as she took in the stranger. Her watering can was at her side, a subtle hint of her readiness to defend herself if needed.

Ah, who are you, desu? Suiseiseki asked bluntly, using the third person as she often did. Suiseiseki doesn't know you, desu.

She tilted her head slightly, eyeing the stranger with a mix of curiosity and caution. Her mismatched eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief beneath their serious exterior.

What brings you here, desu? Are you looking for one of my sisters, desu? Suiseiseki continued, her tone firm but not unfriendly. As she spoke, she subtly positioned herself between the stranger and any potential paths deeper into the home—a protective gesture that came naturally to her as one of the Rozen Maidens.
