Bronya Is the Kind of Girl Who Could Become the Leader of Anti-Entropy

"Those... Sister Bronya, I know..."

"Don't underestimate your Sister Bronya."

Liu Bai patted Seele's head, who was trying to betray her teammates.

"Bronya is an expert in this area."

"Is that so?"

"Leave it to me."

Bronya nodded without hesitation and continued following the footprints on the ground.

"I've found you, Rosalia."

"Waaah!"

Rosalia was also peeking out from the bushes, was found there.

"See that, Seele? You were just as clumsy as this girl just now," Liu Bai said to Seele, pointing at Rosalia.

"Waaah~~"

Bronya then found Lilia in the barrel, and the other children also failed to escape Bronya's pursuit and were all caught.

"Sister Bronya is amazing..."

"Gulp... Careless! Just careless! I definitely won't be discovered if I do it again."

"That stupid older sister with her head sticking out has no right to say that."

Lilia, having somehow learned of her sister's embarrassing situation, remarked expressionlessly, "It's probably Seele, isn't it?"

"Who's the idiot? It was just a mistake!"

These two sisters are starting to hurt each other right now... even though it's just Lilia hurting her older sister's feelings.

"Thinking about it carefully, Rosalia's head was sticking out last time too."

"How can even Sister Seele be like this!"

"I just remembered," Seele said rather timidly, despite being only two months younger Bronya. "I was the first one caught, so now it's my turn to play the ghost... Everyone, be sure to hide well..."

Seele like this made Liu Bai doubt whether she could find the person...

Of course, if it were Dark Seele who came out, it might just be a massacre.

However, on the other hand, Dark Seele, as a Stigmata personality, is a product of Mei's "Stigmata Project".

In a sense... Mei is considered Dark Seele's mother?

The family hierarchy is a mess...

Why do I have this feeling that things around me will become increasingly chaotic in the future?

Meanwhile, Seele had already started counting while leaning against the wall.

However, at that moment, the orphanage gate was suddenly opened.

"Tsk, some guy dumped the responsibility of the Alliance Leader on me for almost sixty years, and now he's here playing hide-and-seek with kids. Isn't that a bit too much?"

A blue-haired woman dressed as a man appeared at the doorway and immediately launched a barrage of attacks at Liu Bai.

"Sister Nancy?"

"Here, this is candy."

Edison smiled and handed out candy to the children who ran excitedly to his side.

"So, isn't this scumbag going to try to defend himself?"

When he looked up, Edison's face immediately turned icy cold again.

... Your double standards are pretty obvious.

Chapter 150 Is Bronya the child who can become the Anti-Entropy Leader?

"... Nancy, as the first thing you said after such a long time apart..."

Liu Bai's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Edison double standards were on full display.

"Yes, it's a pleasant surprise... a pleasant surprise, I guess."

"Snort..."

Upon hearing the words "long-awaited reunion," Edison gave a soft hum, his cold expression softening slightly.

When are you planning to leave this time?

"I don't know, maybe two or three years? Three or four years?"

Liu Bai was also quite unsure about this issue.

"Tsk, so that means I'll have to work as your Alliance Leader for several more years?" Edison frowned slightly.

"... Don't make it sound like the job of the Alliance Leader is something like going through fire and water, okay?"

"Being the Alliance Leader is not easy at all... those guys are all willful fools, okay?"

Edison spoke ill of his own family members without any qualms.

"Of course, me too. The longer I'm in this Alliance Leader, the more I understand just how lousy you really are, the guy who's supposed to unify the entire Anti-Entropy."

"... Your words make it sound like I, the Alliance Leader, got this position by selling my body."

"Isn't that right?"

"..."

In a way... it seems that's really true?

Liu Bai was speechless.

"What are you saying in front of the children?"

Liu Bai decided to stop Edison first; if he continued talking like this, his image among the children might be ruined.

"Too."

The woman dressed as a man shrugged, while Liu Bai asked another question.

"Where are Reanna and Cocolia?"

"Are you so sure Reanna will come too?"

Edison, no longer indifferent as he had been at the beginning, stared with great interest at Liu Bai, who was now a white cloth.

"Reanna knew I was back, of course she'd come," Liu Bai said, sounding annoyed. "It just dawned on me, with Reanna around, why are you worrying about Einstein and the others? Right, Princess Nancy?"

"It must have been thirty or forty years since anyone called me that." Edison's smile widened.

Strictly speaking, the title "Princess Nancy" is not a compliment to Edison; it refers to Edison's capricious and arbitrary decision-making when Anti-Entropy was still the North American Branch.

It was a completely ironic title—even Planck would refer to Edison that way when speaking to outsiders.

Edison's emotional intelligence wasn't actually that high... or rather, it wasn't low, but he was too lazy to care about others.

"So, what are you trying to say, Your Highness?"

Edison waved his hand, dismissing the children around him, and then, with a forced smile, twisted the meaning of the nickname.

"Overall, you did a pretty good job. I see that everyone else calls you 'Alliance Leader' or 'Miss Nancy,' and no one calls you that like they used to." Liu Bai didn't respond to the previous comment, but instead praised Edison.

"With more experience, you'll become more worldly-wise."

Edison snorted softly, "However, Reanna does indeed act like a mother hen, and the stability of the internal relationships within Anti-Entropy is largely thanks to her... By the way, who is this child?"

After Edison dispersed them, only Bronya and Seele remained in the same spot.

"Bronya Zaychek".

Bronya introduced herself in a very formal and serious manner.

"What a fine boy," Edison said with a smile. "Here, a little something for our meeting."

Edison took a few candies out of his pocket and put them in Bronya's hand.

"... Nancy, Sister Nancy."

Bronya expressed her gratitude in the same tone as the children.

"And you, little Seele, everyone else always comes up to you asking for candy, but you, little girl, don't say a word." Edison continued to take candy out of his pocket.

"Nancy, Sister Nancy," Seele said obediently.

"Did you stuff all your pockets with candy?"

Liu Bai watched with great curiosity as Edison kept pulling out candies from his person.

"You're far too skilled at this."

"After all, it's a place I sponsored with my own money—I'm not Einstein Ai and the others who just spend money and then ignore it. I care about any of the businesses under Anti-Entropy —although I don't expect this orphanage to make money."

The woman dressed as a man, for the first time since their reunion, rolled her eyes at Liu Bai with a resentful expression.

"If I don't manage the money, Einstein and the others are a bottomless pit."

"I think you're just rejecting Tesla's proposal."

"...Well, that's undeniable." Edison, having been exposed, shrugged. "It's all because Tesla always comes up with useless, whimsical ideas—and don't you find that red-haired, twin-tailed man's frantic expression quite amusing?"

"... I can't tell which of your points is the most important one right now."

Who knows?

Edison shrugged, and just then, Reanna and Cocolia appeared in the doorway.

"Your Highness, you're running way too fast." Reanna walked ahead, with Cocolia following behind quite obediently.

"Why does everyone keep bringing up that title today?" Edison was slightly annoyed.

Good afternoon, Sister Reanna.

Seele greeted the newcomer, saying, "Reanna might be quite popular with the children."

"Good afternoon, Seele." Reanna smiled at Seele, then looked at Liu Bai, "Alliance Leader, welcome back."

"Lend me your body, Reanna."

"Yes, as you wish."

Reanna quickly relinquished control of her body, and then a handsome man appeared before everyone.

"...elder brother?"

"Brother Alliance Leader?"

Bronya and Seele, the two little girls, couldn't help but gasp in surprise at the scene that had suddenly appeared before them— Cocolia's expression wasn't much calmer either.

"How are you doing, my brother?"

Liu Bai reached out and ruffled the heads of the two little girls.

Bronya's compatibility +5%

"Have we stooped so low as to prey on children, Lord Alliance Leader?"

Nancy watched this scene and said with a hint of jealousy.

"... You're really something, Nancy, to be able to get jealous of a child."

As Liu Bai spoke, he reached out and patted Edison's head.

"Is this okay?"

"... That's not what I meant."

Edison raised his hand to slap Liu Bai's hand down, but then thought better of it... This feeling is actually quite nice.

"Never mind, but I haven't stooped to being jealous of children."

As if to prove himself, Edison pulled out another handful of candy and stuffed it into Bronya's arms.

Because she had to hold the HOMU doll in one arm and her dress had no pockets, Bronya even had trouble holding the candy in her hand.

"I felt like I had so much to say to you, but after we met, I suddenly couldn't say anything... really."
