Father's Love Like a Mountain (cont.)

You'd better actually be looking it up in the dictionary.

However, what you said is indeed true.

Yuno is a gifted person.

Ultimately, the reason Yuno was able to easily defeat Theresa twice in the original work is partly because Theresa herself was quite reckless, and partly Yuno actually used some brains when fighting.

As a seasoned warrior, Theresa would never miss when attacking an enemy's vital points.

This indicates that Yuno had already protected her vitals with Herrscher energy after Theresa's attack.

Moreover, risks and opportunities coexist.

Yuno mind and body were already dominated by the Honkai, became an apostle who dedicated everything to destruction.

In this state, Yuno did not let her guard down. On the one hand, she protected her vitals, and on the other hand, she pretended to be sad and shed tears, making Theresa think that she had not completely sided with the Honkai.

In the end, the careless Theresa was ambushed by Yuno and was immediately knocked out by Yuno's poison.

If Yae Sakura hadn't been nearby and saved her once, Yuno would have found her and killed her that very night.

The next day, Yuno, unable to find the enemy, used her evolved abilities to plant poisonous flowers near the Oath of Judah.

After engaging in close combat and chatting with Theresa to buy time, she used the fragrance of flowers to poison Theresa again.

If Theresa hadn't possessed the Yae Sakura Stigmata, she probably would have truly died this time.

Even under the control of the Honkai, Yuno is able to fight with her brain Honkai.

After regaining her sense of self and confidence, it's only natural that she became as outstanding as she is now.

"So, why did you suddenly ask me this?"

After glancing at Bronya's room, Lin Yu leaned back on the sofa and asked Yuno beside him.

"Are you going to kill Bronya to vent your anger?"

"I have no interest in pathetic creatures who are used as tools."

After gently tossing her hair, Yuno spoke softly to Lin Yu.

"As long as she doesn't stand in my way of revenge, she will always be a comrade I can trust."

"But I think you know that's impossible."

Recalling those scenes from the original work, Lin Yu said helplessly to Yuno.

"Cocolia be a piece of human trash who deserves to go to hell, but even as trash she is, she is still Bronya's adoptive mother."

"Isn't it because of you, senior?"

After hearing the helplessness in Lin Yu's words, Yuno suddenly looked at Lin Yu with a grin.

"Senior, you have such a silver tongue that you managed to persuade her to work for Schicksal wholeheartedly. I think if you put in a little more effort—getting Bronya out of this matter shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

"Actually, I have good news and bad news to tell you."

Seeing that Yuno immediately shut her mouth, Lin Yu told Yuno the information that could be made public this time.

"The good news is that Bronya thinks Cocolia will continue to cause trouble, so she has decided to help us find Cocolia."

Upon hearing this news, Yuno didn't jump up in ecstasy like Lin Yu. Instead, she waited quietly without saying a word...

—Waiting for Lin Yu to deliver the bad news.

"Okay, the bad news is that Bronya's condition for helping our Far East Branch is to spare Cocolia's life."

"And Branch Leader Theresa has already agreed to Bronya's request."

After delivering this bad news, Lin Yu unsurprisingly saw that Yuno's expression turned extremely ferocious.

From a rational point of view, Yuno could certainly understand Bronya's love for her adoptive mother Cocolia.

Children with normal parents can understand that their children love their parents just as much.

No, even for some young children, even if their parents treat them extremely badly, they will try to excuse their parents, wondering if they did something wrong.

But—that woman caused the Third Honkai Outbreak, killing so many people, which led me to become Herrscher and kill my Mom!

Rationality—how the hell could I possibly be rational at a time like this!

If Yuno hadn't been so used to suppressing her Herrscher Persona even while breathing, she would have felt that her Herrscher Persona was almost suppressed and about to be usurped on the spot.

"Senior—are you really willing to accept this?!"

At this moment, Yuno looked at Lin Yu, who had a calm expression, and questioned him coldly.

"Even if that woman is caught, she will definitely find a way to continue causing trouble."

"And—she did something tantamount to massacre, why should she have the right to live!"

"Yuno, calm down."

Seeing Yuno's ferocious expression, Lin Yu suddenly pulled the girl, with whom he had never had any intimate contact before, into his arms.

"... Senior, what are you doing?"

At this moment, Yuno, who was suddenly treated by Lin Yu in this way, suddenly lost some of her fierceness.

"You don't think I'm some easy-going, lovesick brat who'll forget all this just because a handsome guy hugs me, do you?"

"What I mean is—keep your voice down."

At this moment, Lin Yu leaned close to Yuno's ear and whispered Yuno to her.

Why do you think I told you this?

"... Could it be that..."

"Although I feel very sorry for Bronya, I don't want to let that woman get away with it."

"Don't worry, I'm on your side."

Hearing Lin Yu's words in her ear, Yuno gave a bitter smile.

"Although I'm happy, we'll probably make Bronya resent us for this."

"Ha, maybe."

After subtly using the Phantasm Lantern Barrier to calm Yuno's anger somewhat, Lin Yu released Yuno and suddenly sneered at Yuno.

"However, in my opinion, it's only a possibility."

"Bronya's resentment towards us is contingent on Cocolia surrendering obediently and being killed by the two of us for disobeying orders."

"But—do you think that woman is the type to surrender so easily?"

At this moment, Yuno recalled the intelligence she had painstakingly gathered over the past forty days.

Cocolia, the leader of the Anti-Entropy radicals, is a bug that triggered the Third Honkai Outbreak, causing some innocent people to be Honkai Corruption and killed by the Honkai.

Although she was scorned by outsiders as the 'Fox Spirit of Anti-Entropy' because of her excessive cunning, Yuno thought that this person was definitely out of her mind.

Mei's power is electromagnetic force, so Cocolia plans to use Titan and Bronya's Quantum Mech to capture people.

The person she sent to lead the team from Nine Nether was a brainless and cowardly little girl, which resulted in the Titan Mech being completely wiped out by Lin Yu in one move.

Because of what she did, Yuno was even able to see in Schicksal's intelligence database that "because of what Cocolia did, Anti-Entropy's reputation was ruined twice after the Third Honkai Outbreak and the Nine Nether Rebellion."

Oh, the latest intelligence is that the diplomats on the Schicksal side have already confronted Anti-Entropy on the spot, angrily denouncing them for "not doing any work while Honkai the Honkai, and then launching a sneak attack after we dealt with Chiyou. How can they be so shameless?"

It's fair to say that because of Cocolia's actions, the reputation of her organization is now only slightly better than being utterly infamous.

Yuno saw no cunning in this woman who was a liability to her teammates and had zero achievements against others; she only saw stubbornness and a mental lapse.

If Cocolia n't sent people to attack Theresa, a key figure in Schicksal, she might have actually suspected that Cocolia might be a spy sent by Schicksal.

However, none of that matters anymore.

In Yuno's view, Cocolia's style of action is characterized by stubbornness and recklessness, which makes it virtually impossible for her to surrender easily.

If she resists, it's considered resisting arrest, and if Yuno has a reason to kill her on the spot.

The thought of this really ignited Yuno's passion.

To be honest, even if Cocolia surrendered obediently, Yuno would definitely kill her despite the charge of disobeying orders.

Revenge has become one of the reasons for her existence, and when her enemy appears before her, Yuno is unable to control her murderous intent.

However, if there is a way to take action without disobeying orders, that would certainly be better than disobeying orders.

At this moment, Yuno was even thinking about how to provoke Cocolia and then find an opportunity to kill this damn bitch.

After seeing that the emotional fluctuations on Yuno's body had completely disappeared, Lin Yu didn't say anything more and walked towards Bronya's room.

Watching Lin Yu's departing figure, Yuno did not stop her.

After her initial excitement, Yuno quickly calmed down.

Once Yuno calmed down, she naturally realized that Lin Yu had calmed her down with just a few simple words.

Although Bronya was a smart child, Yuno thought she was just a hapless child with a confused mind.

Even before he was being chased by Yuno in Changkong City, Lin Yu had already demonstrated his professional agent skills in speaking to people in a way that suited them.

Now, I suppose the senior can reassure Bronya with his words.

Bronya, I'm so sorry, but your mother has to die.

Even if you resent me later, I will still kill that woman!

.

Bronya, who was inside the room, had already heard the noises outside.

However, the girl, who had just chosen to betray her loved ones, had already lost the habit of constantly observing her surroundings that she had developed as a special forces soldier.

Helplessness towards his adoptive mother, uncertainty about the future, longing for his stepsister, guilt towards his companions...

At this moment, Bronya truly felt that perhaps the damage to her emotional circuits wasn't such a bad thing.

If her emotional circuits hadn't been healed by the Black Abyss White Flower, perhaps she would be like this now...

—Then it wouldn't be so painful.

The military honed Lucia's superb killing skills, but it did not cultivate her completely cold and ruthless heart.

Even today, Bronya still feels that Cocolia was the ray of sunshine in her life, bringing her endless warmth.

However, now that she has come to know her mother's 'devilish' side, Bronya realizes just how insane Cocolia's actions truly are.

The girl, in immense pain, tries to recall those beautiful memories from the past.

But when she recalls those memories, she discovers that most of them are related to the missing girl.

Seele Vollerei.

The girl who always called her "sister" and followed behind her was the one who was quantumized and completely disappeared after being sent to participate in the experiment in place of Bronya.

But who caused that experiment?

At this moment, the girl, overwhelmed with grief, was unable to escape the truth.

It was Cocolia's experiment that led to all of this.

"Okay, I'm too lazy to knock."

Lin Yu, who had forcibly opened the door, threw the doorknob aside and looked at Bronya was looking on in astonishment.

"As expected, you were crying."

"Brother Lin Yu..."

After watching the boy sit down on her bed so naturally, Bronya picked up a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, then pouted and said to Lin Yu with dissatisfaction.

"It is wrong to barge into a lady's room."

"Yes, indeed."

"But then again, I beat up a little girl when we met, so why do you think I'm some kind of law-abiding good person?"

At this moment, Lin Yu stared at Bronya as if she were an idiot, and almost burst out laughing.

"I used to be a secret agent, and you have to be adaptable to be a secret agent."

"If I hear a little girl crying in her room, I have to hurry in and help distract you so you won't be so sad."
