Big Brother, Bronya Needs Help (Please Support)
"Oh, the last member of The Trio has finally appeared."
Bai Ge's eyes lit up. He spotted the two gray turbines outside the window and thought that, after all this time, he had finally met Bronya.
The last time they had met, she had still been inside her mother's womb.
"Bai Ge, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing. I just suddenly have something to take care of. Kiana, go home with Mei first."
"..." x2
"Why are you two looking at me like that?"
Bai Ge instinctively leaned back. The subtle looks from the tuna and the rice cooker in front of him left him somewhat at a loss, as if he had planned to do something bad and had been found out beforehand.
He had overlooked the fact that, although the three of them had not known one another for very long, these two girls already had a pretty good understanding of what kind of person he was.
"I just feel like Bai Ge is planning to do something dangerous. Mei, what do you think?"
"Mm, I think we can face anything together. Bai Ge, please rely on us more."
"Uh, I'm not planning to do anything dangerous," Bai muttered in defense of himself.
He just wanted to have a chat with Bronya over there. He really was not planning to do anything dangerous.
Kiana was the first to say she did not believe him.
She swallowed the hamburger in her hand in one bite, then pulled out the two small pistols at her waist, both fully loaded with ammunition... The other customers in the restaurant had probably mistaken them for toy replicas.
"Hmph! Someone may say that, but whenever it matters, you're even more reckless than I am. Bai Ge, do you think I'm stupid and can't see through you? Now that I'm full, tell me where the enemy is. I'll show her just how terrifying a well-fed Kaslana can be!"
"Huh? Bug Bug, you're not stupid?"
Bai Ge's eyes widened in surprise. Did this little tuna not have any self-awareness? If he had even the slightest ill intentions, he could probably trick her into having a second child with just a box of fried chicken.
"I-I'm not stupid!"
"Pfft. All right, all right, Kiana, don't be mad. But Bai Ge... you really shouldn't go running off alone. We're companions. No matter what happens, Kiana and I will face it with you."
"Uh, why did things suddenly get so serious? It really isn't a big deal. Why are you making it sound like we're about to fight the final boss?"
Bai Ge looked at the two of them with helpless amusement, thinking that this was what it meant to worry too much because they cared.
He casually reached up and pinched Kiana's cheek, then stroked Mei's silky hair.
"I won't do anything reckless. You two just go home and wait for me. Mei, remember to make a late-night snack for me. Don't worry, I'm really strong now. At noon today, I even pinned Kiana to the ground and made her call me Daddy."
"Huh! That one doesn't count. I was just careless for a moment. Hmph! If you've got the guts, fight me again."
"Sure, sure. I'll play with you again when I get back. Relax, I won't be late."
As he spoke, Bai Ge dumped all the fries into his mouth at once, then squeezed an entire packet of ketchup into his mouth as well, instantly finishing the fries that had still been mostly untouched.
After paying at the counter, he left directly.
Come to think of it, those two don't seem to resist physical contact with me at all anymore. If this were a game, their affection should be at three stars by now, hehe.
Though the Conquest Gem and the Gem of Serenity had played a part in it, Kiana and Mei themselves had long since placed complete trust in Bai Ge. After all, Herrscher Cores could only affect their bodies; they could not twist the girls' minds.
"That makes me happy. Mm, I should deal with this little duck quickly and get back... So she did follow me after all."
Bai Ge strolled casually down the street.
Through the reflection in a shop window, he confirmed that Bronya was indeed following behind him.
Bronya could be called the smartest girl among The Trio, but precisely because she was so smart, Bai Ge could easily predict her thoughts and actions.
There was no need to think about it. Cocolia had definitely sent her here, and her purpose was undoubtedly to take Mei away and retaliate against him.
After all, Bai had recently ruined that mother Fox Spirit's long-prepared plan. Given Cocolia's personality, she certainly would not let the matter rest so easily.
But leaving aside how difficult it would be to act in public...
Bronya's current strength did not allow it, either.
She definitely knows about the strength Kiana displayed. Attacking Mei would be too risky, since the Herrscher of Thunder's personality could wake up at any time. So... if she wants to take us down one by one, she'll definitely choose me first.
After all, in Cocolia's eyes, Bai Ge was merely an ordinary person. She probably thought Bronya could deal with him easily.
Unfortunately, she did not know that the situation had changed long ago. Bai had just received an epic-level power-up.
Duck Duck hasn't even gotten on her motorcycle yet. Isn't she delivering herself right to my doorstep? Even if she does get on it, I'll find a way to revoke this girl's license!
"Let me see how you plan to make your move. Don't disappoint me, Bronya." Bai Ge found a park, then sat down on a bench and seemingly began to doze off without any guard up.
"Target confirmed. Bronya's operation begins."
The expressionless, emotionless little girl spoke to herself. Bronya recalled the information she had read beforehand about Bai Ge and determined that this young man was not a difficult target.
He is only an ordinary person. He merely stopped the plan Cocolia Mama had been preparing for a long time, so he must be removed.
Bronya did not know the details of Cocolia's scheme. She did not know that the woman intended to artificially trigger a Great Honkai and sacrifice the entire city of Changkong City.
She had only been told that Raiden Mei might hold the possibility of bringing back her precious little sister, Seele? Fleur, from the Sea of Quantum.
"I'm sorry. Bronya has no grudge against you, but in order to bring Seele back, please suffer serious injuries for a while."
Bronya murmured expressionlessly.
Bai Ge separating from those two was a pleasant surprise for her. An ordinary person without helpers had virtually no chance against Bronya, who was young but already battle-hardened.
But this was an open park area.
There were also many ordinary people nearby.
Bronya judged that there was no need to use Project Bunny's firepower, and she did not want to cause too much of a disturbance.
In that case, what should she do?
Bronya looked at her own legs.
If her legs had been intact and she had not needed to use this exoskeleton, perhaps... she would have used her stockings to deal with Bai Ge.
Using her weak appearance to deceive the enemy, then taking advantage of their carelessness to strangle or choke them unconscious with her stockings—this had been one of Bronya's usual methods when she was known as the "Ural Silver Wolf."
Though the latter half was no longer possible, the former was still effective. Bronya knew very well that her appearance was highly deceptive to normal people.
Thus...
"Big Brother over there, Bronya has run into some trouble. Could Big Brother help Bronya?"
With no intention of concealing herself at all, this scheming Bronya walked straight up to Bai Ge.
Though she wore an expressionless, icy look, an emotionless little girl was a particularly powerful kind of cuteness!
Bai Ge smiled and unhesitatingly took the bait.
"Of course. Cute little sister, what do you need help with?"
Fifth update. Please send flowers, votes, and tips.
I'm off tomorrow, so I'll challenge myself to do six updates.
By the way, the book review system on Feilu has always had a few minor bugs. It is especially bad on my creator dashboard, where the review section refreshes every few minutes. I do that so I can reply to your comments as quickly as possible, so if someone's review cannot be found, don't say I deleted it. It will show up after a few minutes.
"Existence Beyond Truth," I can only find your review in the creator dashboard, but I cannot open it, and I cannot find it in the app either. Honestly, it feels a little haunted, like a ghost review.

"Of course. Cute little sister, what do you need help with?"
Faced with Bronya pretending to be a helpless girl seeking assistance, Bai Ge unhesitatingly took the bait. He smiled warmly, just like an ordinary kindhearted big brother.
Bronya was not surprised in the slightest. She knew that her appearance made it easy for others to lower their guard. After all, there was no better disguise in this world than cuteness.
"Mm, a gift Bronya's family gave her was accidentally lost. It is a very important gift to Bronya. Could Big Brother help Bronya look for it?"
[Illegible text.]
"Of course there's no problem. Then, little Bronya, do you know roughly where you lost it?"
"Thank you. Bronya remembers. It was probably... near that alley over there."
"All right, then let's go look together."
Bai Ge smiled as he took Bronya's little hand, and the two headed toward the alley.
At the same time, Bai also noticed the calluses on Bronya's hand, the kind that only came from frequently firing a gun. Such calluses looked far too out of place on a little girl's hand.
The doubts in his heart grew deeper and deeper.
It looks like Bronya, just like in the original story, still became a child soldier and assassin before being adopted by Cocolia. Why did that happen? What happened to Aunt Alexandra afterward?
As the Herrscher of the Void, he had not triggered any Great Honkai. Moreover, when he had met Bronya's mother, he had personally helped restore her health.
[Illegible text.]
Logically, even if Hare had never appeared, Bronya, with both parents alive, should have been born safely and lived a life no different from that of an ordinary girl.
Heh... is this what the system meant by fate? Even if I drastically rewrote the past, their destinies were already decided. The present and future would still follow the original story... unless I interfere further.
"Hmm? What's wrong, Big Brother?"
"Nothing. I was just thinking about something. Since there is something only I can do, then no matter what, I think I should try my best... Don't mind me. I was just talking to myself."
