Big Sis Bronya, where is Brother Lin Yu right now?
"Seele... Rosalia... Lilia???"
Seeing her three companions, whom she had been preparing to rescue using the power of Schicksal, suddenly appear before her, Bronya was so shocked that she lost the ability to speak.
To be honest, just the day before yesterday, she was still thinking about how to gain more influence in Schicksal by leveraging the power of others, so as to rescue her friend who had been kidnapped by the World Serpent and taken to the Quantum Sea.
Then, just two days later, the friends she had been desperately trying to save all appeared before Bronya as if nothing had happened.
Seele's rescue is undoubtedly a joyous occasion.
The rescue of Rosalia and Lilia is undoubtedly a joyous occasion.
Logically speaking, the two joys overlapped, and this double joy should have brought even more joy.
But at this moment, Bronya, who could not believe what she was seeing, suddenly burst into tears in front of the three of them.
"Bronya, Sister Bronya?"
Seeing Bronya suddenly burst into tears, Seele, who had originally wanted to give Bronya a surprise, immediately began to frantically check Bronya's body.
"Did we use too much force? Is that why you got hurt somewhere?"
Meanwhile, Lilia, watching Bronya weep uncontrollably, quietly spoke to Rosalia.
"You idiot Rosalia, didn't you use too much force just now?"
"This... I don't think so, right?"
Seeing Bronya begin to wipe away the tears streaming from her eyes, Rosalia spoke again, sounding very uncertain.
"There shouldn't be?"
"Don't blame Rosalia, I'm just too happy."
Facing her childhood friends, Bronya hugged them tightly and sobbed as she spoke to them.
"Everyone's alright... that's so great..."
"Really... that's great."
Seeing Bronya's deeply moved expression, the three of them suddenly felt that compared to Bronya, they seemed a little heartless.
"Okay, Sister Bronya, don't cry, don't cry."
After taking out a handkerchief to wipe away Bronya's tears, Seele spoke gently to Bronya.
"We're all fine."
To appease Bronya, Rosalia and Lilia, in perfect unison, put their hands on their hips and spoke to Bronya with utmost confidence.
"Yes, yes, we're all fine."
"Sister Bronya, look how healthy we are."
"But..."
It was because of the two men's actions in trying to comfort Bronya that Bronya, after wiping away her tears, noticed something.
"Rosalia, Lilia, what's with the horns on your heads?"
After hearing Bronya's question, the two realized...
Oh no, this has backfired.
"What... what exactly did the World Serpent do to you?!"
Bronya, seeing the two of them awkwardly take a step back and ask a question, seemed to suddenly understand something.
In order to save Xiola, who had been captured by the Far East Branch, Gray Serpent, who appeared in the Far East Branch, used a potion to transform into Emperor-class Honkai Beast.
This has become one of the inferences that people have concluded that the World Serpent has made outstanding achievements in biotechnology.
Given this context, how could Bronya not realize what had happened to her companions when she saw the Honkai Beast horns above their heads?
Without my knowledge, Rosalia and Lilia had already fallen victim to the World Serpent.
The culprit behind all this is undoubtedly the World Serpent.
But, Mother...
Why did you hand everyone over to the World Serpent back then?
I updated 181,000 words in February. In fact, February has 29 days, so my perfect attendance should be 4 * 29 = 116,000 words.
The number of words required to repay the debt in February is 18.1 - 11.6 = 6.5W.
When I was doing the settlement, I forgot to add up the 7200 monthly pass fee and the 114500 from the end of last month.
Now, let's settle the accounts one last time. I still owe 114,500 + 7,200 - 65,000 = 56,700.
I think I'll be able to pay it off by March and April combined.
Considering I wrote 32,000 words on the last day of the month, please give me some monthly votes and free razor blades.
Today...
Let's continue today! What else can we do?
Write, write, write!
The 10:30 rule is back; I want to be a healthy person!
Furthermore, although the ghost quoted Jiraiya's lines, she doesn't take Jiraiya's place. Randomly killing people when you're bored isn't a sword; it's feeding shit.
My book is a harem fantasy novel. Although Ghost is not one of the harem candidates, why would anyone suddenly think that I have a sudden onset of a serious illness and want to kill someone?
Written request for leave
Although I was eager to continue updating today, I'm sore all over, have a headache and a sore throat. I guess it's the aftereffects of yesterday's 32,000 words. I'll take it easy for today and try to update before midnight tomorrow.
I'll hang up now if there's nothing else. I'm going to take some medicine and go to bed early tonight. 11111111
Chapter 271. Sister Bronya, where is Brother Lin Yu now?
From an objective point of view, becoming Fusion Warrior is not entirely a bad thing.
Bronya had hacked into Schicksal Headquarters's database during this time, so she naturally knew that Theresa, who was extremely powerful, was in some ways no different from the Fusion Warrior of the Previous Era.
No, the combat power that Theresa is showing now is comparable to that of the Fusion Warrior from the Previous Era; she could even be ranked in the top tier.
While Fusion Warrior grant their modified subjects combat abilities far exceeding their previous levels after human modification, however...
To put it simply, this is the worst form of human modification.
Knowing that her friends, whom she grew up with in the orphanage, had suffered hardships they shouldn't have had to endure because of their adoptive mother, it would be a miracle if Bronya could be happy now.
It's only thanks to Lilia and Rosalia's good qualities and strong constitution that they survived; otherwise, anyone else might have died on the operating table.
Although Bronya tried to appear calm, after Durandal healed her emotional circuits with the Black Abyss White Flower, she certainly couldn't maintain her poker face as easily as she used to.
Perhaps Bronya's acting skills are enough to fool people who aren't very familiar with her.
However, Seele, Rosalia, and Lilia are all Bronya's childhood friends, so if Bronya behaves even slightly abnormally, the three of them are likely to notice that something is wrong with her.
In the past, Rosalia and Lilia certainly wouldn't have thought that much about it.
But now, having survived a life-or-death ordeal, even if the two are still a bit slow, they wouldn't be as naive as they used to be.
As if to deliberately change the subject, Rosalia immediately spoke to Bronya, whose expression seemed off.
"Oh right, does Sister Bronya know about Mother Cocolia's situation?"
Bronya, who was already suffering because of her mother's messy actions, couldn't keep her composure any longer when Rosalia brought up her adoptive mother.
"Mother Cocolia, Mother Cocolia ... she..."
"Yes, I knew it. Sister Bronya didn't know about this."
Seeing the obvious panic on Bronya's face, Rosalia, with her hands on her hips, said to Bronya with great delight.
"Alliance Leader Welt told us that after Mom did something wrong and her forces were dismantled, she was sent on some classified missions."
"But at that time, Schicksal had not yet started cooperating with Anti-Entropy, so in order to demoralize Anti-Entropy, they directly announced to the outside world that Mom had died at the hands of Schicksal's warriors."
"This... that..."
Bronya, who was trying hard to control her emotions, looked at Seele beside her with an expression of utter surprise.
"Alliance Leader Welt, is that really what you were told?"
"Yes, that's right."
After nodding slightly in affirmation, Seele spoke to Bronya quite naturally.
He also said that Sister Bronya, who is in Schicksal, might think that their Mom is dead, so he asked us to pass on this message to you.
If the people chasing Mother Cocolia weren't Yuno and Brother Lin Yu, I might actually believe that statement.
But when Bronya thought of Lin Yu, who was almost killed by her adoptive mother, and Yuno, who was tricked by her adoptive mother into becoming Herrscher and killing her mother, she felt that her adoptive mother was probably dead.
Both of them are incredibly intelligent and have exceptional execution skills, and Yuno, in particular, has an extremely strong obsession with Cocolia.
The resentment emanating from Yuno has noticeably lessened, which is enough to suggest that Cocolia even have been killed by her own hands.
To be honest, even now, Bronya is quite certain that she still harbors some resentment towards Yuno killing her mother.
Bronya suppressed her resentment and chose to reconcile with the other party, only because her adoptive mother was truly inhuman and had caused the death of the other party's mother and almost killed millions of people.
Sigh, Alliance Leader Welt, he must have said that because everyone is still young and has just escaped danger, and cannot be subjected to too much stimulation, so he told such a white lie.
Although Alliance Leader Welt isn't an honest person, he's truly a good person.
"Oh, I see... Mother Cocolia is still alive."
After forcing a genuine look of surprise, Bronya addressed the crowd with a strained smile.
"This is wonderful."
"However, Mom really did something wrong, and Welt Alliance Leader punish her... There's nothing we can say about this."
"I believe that Mom can turn over a new leaf, and we will see her again sooner or later after she finishes her mission."
Seeing Bronya smiling happily, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
In any case, Bronya's attention has been diverted from the A-Lynn Sisters' antagonisms, which is a good thing for all three of them.
As for this subtle sense of disharmony, the three of them were afraid of arousing Bronya's attention to the Honkai Beast Horn again, so they didn't think much of it.
The four friends from the orphanage had finally reunited, so naturally they should chat about something happy.
On the other hand, Bronya, after putting on her disguise, kept reminding herself.
We must not reveal any flaws.
The truth of this matter was known only to me in the entire orphanage.
Now that we've just gone through the torment of the World Serpent, we absolutely cannot endure any more psychological suffering.
It would be better if the news of my Mom's death were to be known by everyone at least ten years later.
By then, when everyone has grown up and knows the truth, they will be less shocked because of their maturity.
"Oh right, Seele, Rosalia, Lilia, you haven't told us how you were rescued yet."
Looking at her three companions, Bronya suddenly asked with great curiosity.
"Was it Alliance Leader Welt who saved you?"
"Ah, as for the two of us... I feel like our memories aren't very clear."
After scratching her head, Rosalia said with great confusion.
"I remember after we were trained by the World Serpent for a long time, they dumped us somewhere and we had a fight with a white-haired guy wielding dual pistols..."
