Fu Hua: I Have a Friend

Then, he plunged headlong into St. Freya's energy shield protection system.

"Bang!!!"

Amidst the raging flames, a disheveled and covered in soot, Bronya was captured by the patrolling Valkyrie and taken to the interrogation room.

With her hands restrained, Bronya was completely bewildered and only had one thought left:

"Principal Theresa, didn't you say you were going to tell Teacher Himeko about the situation!?"

"Name?"

"Bronya Zaychek".

"Gender?"

"Female."

"Age?"

"14 years old."

"What is your identity?"

"St. Freya, a first-year student, C-Rank Valkyrie of Schicksal."

Bronya has answered the same question countless times.

Asking questions quickly, and randomly repeating some basic questions, is also an interrogation technique that may help find loopholes in the person being interrogated.

Bronya knew that this was the most lenient treatment she could receive.

Fortunately, her identity was registered in the system, and although the patrolling Valkyrie had their suspicions, they generally treated her as one of their own. Otherwise, the humanitarianism advocated at the secular level would not have been able to restrain the Valkyrie.

Ultimately, Schicksal is a violent organization, and the most powerful violent institution that completely overwhelms secular forces. When dealing with enemies, it has never lacked brutal methods.

For now, Bronya can only cooperate and wait for Theresa or Himeko to come and rescue her; any resistance before that is just asking for trouble.

"Why would someone fly Anti-Entropy plane into St. Freya at night?"

"During the Chiyou mission, he got separated from the main force and was unable to return on the Hyperion. He had no choice but to lie in wait at the Anti-Entropy base for several days before he found an opportunity to steal the fighter jet and return to the academy overnight."

"However, we have not received any orders regarding permission to land!"

"Bronya has already reported to the headmaster in advance. It's probably a problem with the information being transmitted. As long as we inform the headmaster, we can prove everything."

Bronya patiently explained to the serious-looking questioner.

Then, looking at her dirty little hands and her scorched hair, a wave of sadness washed over her, beneath her expressionless face.

She thought that upon her return, she would be greeted with warmth and care from Teacher Himeko, Mei, and Anqi, and would be warmly welcomed by St. Freya.

But what's going on now?!

I might as well stay in my hometown a few more days!

At this moment, Theresa, who had relayed the message to the head butler Himeko, had long forgotten about it and was fast asleep.

Meanwhile, Himeko, who should have received the message and made arrangements to welcome her, was still in a drunken dream, even happily embracing Anqi's delicate and flawless body, feeling extremely comfortable.

No one knew Bronya had returned, and even fewer knew she was in the interrogation room.

Bronya was taken back to Himeko's house by the Valkyrie in the interrogation room that afternoon.

At this moment, Himeko, because of the embarrassment of the previous night, had run to Theresa's house to hide from Anqi and to contemplate life.

"Drip, drip!"

Anqi held the showerhead and gently rubbed Bronya's skin with her small hands, washing away the dust and oil left behind after the plane explosion.

Raiden Mei was in charge of rubbing her equally dirty hair.

Anqi pouted, looking quite distressed, and said in a soft, sweet voice:

"Bronya, was your temporary mission really that dangerous? I wish I had come with you. Did you suffer a lot?"

Regarding Bronya's disappearance from the Hyperion midway through the journey, apart from Theresa, Himeko, and Raiden Mei, the explanation given to others was that it was a temporary mission—after all, they couldn't very well tell everyone that Bronya, a student of St. Freya, was the daughter of Cocolia, the Anti-Entropy Executor Cocolia?

This kind of thing is completely inexplicable and cannot be explained.

Bronya had a stern, cat-like face.

For the first time, she was grateful for the problem with her emotional expression center, which allowed her to maintain a completely expressionless face and conceal her deep resentment.

She said expressionlessly:

"Well, it's a bit complicated. The main problem lies with the headmaster and Teacher Himeko."

"That night, Mei and I will cook you a big meal to help you replenish your nutrients!"

"Okay, thank you, Anqi."

Bronya's gaze softened.

Anqi is truly an angel! Although I was wary at first, once I got close, I received genuine tenderness and care.

Just like Seele.

Bronya's heart stirred, and as she looked at Anqi, who was carefully cleaning her body, her expression softened even more.

"Purr!"

Kiana, who knew nothing and had no conscience, was swimming and playing in the bathtub, enjoying herself immensely.

Bronya glanced sideways, staring mercilessly at Kiana. From that silly, dim-witted smile on her face, she seemed to understand the root cause of this undeserved disaster:

Principal Theresa is related to Kiana, so they have similar Cabbage Worm- like natures, right?

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! You sent the message too late, and I fell asleep after forwarding it to Himeko! I completely forgot about it! I'll give you this set of HOMU comics, please forgive me, Bronya!"

That night, Theresa apologized repeatedly to Bronya expression was indifferent.

When Bronya went, she had a sudden inspiration and thought that having Bronya infiltrate the enemy camp could effectively guard against Cocolia's little tricks, so she even encouraged Bronya!

This whole mess resulted in Bronya's plane crashing for no reason and her being arrested and interrogated.

Theresa still has some conscience; she knows she made a mistake.

Bronya picked up a comic book, her gaze softening as she looked at the beautiful cover.

"Alright, the headmistress is much better than that Cabbage Worm after all. Considering her sincerity, Bronya forgives the headmistress."

Kiana, who was unexpectedly called upon, looked up, her cheeks puffed out, chewing on the cake that Himeko had brought back, tilting her head with a silly and cute expression.

"Um?"

"I didn't call you! And eat less, this is something I brought especially for Anqi!"

Himeko covered her face, looking at the apology gift she had bought for Anqi, which Kiana had swallowed half of without explanation. She was both angry and amused.

Kiana scratched her head, blinked indifferently, and then continued to focus on eating her cake.

With such delicious food in front of them, I don't understand what these people are still messing around with. They should just eat more!

Himeko shook her head helplessly and apologized to Bronya in a similarly polite tone. Although being drunk was one reason, she had ultimately caused Bronya unnecessary suffering, so she still had to show some respect.

Bronya gave a soft hum, hugged the HOMU comic, and looked at her friends and elders surrounding her. Under the warm light, she finally felt like she was back.

As a result, her mood gradually returned to normal.

As the atmosphere improved, Himeko finally mustered up her courage, picked up a piece of cake, and slowly approached Anqi.

"Anqi, um, I..."

"Thank you, Himeko."

Anqi said this, quietly reaching out to hook her little finger around Himeko's and gently pressing it against her body.

Himeko was taken aback.

After a long while, she smiled wryly and personally fed the cake to Anqi.

'What's going on? It seems like I'm the only one who's been agonizing over a bunch of random things. Is this kid just too naive to understand what happened last night, or is she just overly dependent on me?'

Himeko breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt her mind was in turmoil.

It seems like I suddenly don't know how to treat this child anymore!

"Ding-dong!"

"Good evening, everyone. I apologize for the intrusion, but Rita has some matters that she might need to discuss privately with Miss Bronya Zaychek. Miss Bronya, do you have the time?"

Inside, everyone was chatting and laughing, creating a harmonious atmosphere, when suddenly the doorbell rang, followed by Rita's melodious voice, which was both natural and charming.

Raiden Mei instinctively clasped her hands to her chest, suddenly tensing up.

Theresa and Himeko also immediately became serious.

"Bronya ..."

"It's nothing, it's probably just some issues with the mission. Bronya, go talk to Miss Rita. You guys rest first, don't wait for me."

Bronya glanced at Anqi, knowing that there were many things she couldn't reveal to her yet, so she made a decision without hesitation.

Theresa gave Himeko and Raiden Mei a reassuring look.

"With me, the headmistress, here, Bronya will definitely be alright!"

With that thought in mind, Theresa got up and walked out of the house with Bronya was trying to appear calm.

Chapter 111 Fu Hua: I Have a Friend

Rita knew about Bronya's relationship with Cocolia.

The mother and daughter caused such a big incident in Changkong City, involving Kiana, that Otto couldn't help but pay attention, and naturally, he couldn't hide his identity.

However, Otto also had a principle: he would not interfere in Kiana's interpersonal relationships unless absolutely necessary.

With Theresa protecting her, Bronya was naturally very safe.

Rita had no intention of doing anything, nor could she actually do anything. She simply wanted to try to subtly probe the truth behind the destruction of St. Freya's underground laboratory, and also to find out the current situation of the East Sea Base —especially Welt's injuries, and information about Ninti.

However, just as Rita had predicted, Bronya remained highly vigilant and obtained virtually no useful information.

Rita ended the conversation with her usual elegant smile.

"I apologize for disturbing you tonight. Miss Bronya, you must be tired from your mission. Please get some rest. We can talk again when we have time. And to Lady Theresa as well, sweet dreams, goodnight!"

"Yes, Lady Rita."

Bronya replied with a straight face, showing no emotion whatsoever.

She watched Rita's receding figure under the streetlights.

Then Theresa finally jumped out from behind the lamppost and patted Bronya on the shoulder.

"Hmph! I told you with me, the headmistress, around, she can't touch you!"

"If the headmistress hadn't been hiding behind the streetlights the whole time, Bronya would still be willing to believe you."

"What can we do? That maid is dangerous, and I don't want to be played by her again!"

"Well!"

Seeing Theresa patting her chest in a slightly scared expression, Bronya sighed softly.

Theresa blinked and said:

"What's the matter?"

"She has been testing me, and I think she already knows who I am, and now she knows that I know they know."

"Um???"

Theresa counted on her fingers in confusion, trying to figure out how many times Bronya said "I know," before finally tilting her head in a daze.

Are you trying to recite a tongue twister?

"Bronya means that headquarters probably knows more information than we think."
