My Sister is Bronya

Who knows why that Little Pudding is so strong—she's only fourteen, but she fights like a special forces soldier. Whether it's marksmanship or hand-to-hand combat, she's absurdly skilled.

Back when Seele was kidnapped, he went with Little Pudding to rescue her. He'd already steeled himself for a heroic sacrifice, but Bronya single-handedly took down everyone who'd kidnapped Seele. His only role was to be the tool carrying Seele away...

Chapter 3 - Bronya's Lethal Scissor Legs

Arriving at the training ground, Bronya, already changed into a tracksuit, was doing warm-up exercises. Seeing Ishiu and Seele enter, she didn't stop moving but tilted her head toward him, signaling him to hurry up.

Ishiu was about to head to the locker room to change, but seeing the door closed, he didn't go in. Instead, he patiently stood outside and waited.

As mentioned before, only girls in the orphanage had Honkai Energy constitutions, so naturally, those training here were all girls, and this locker room certainly wouldn't have a men's section.

After all, besides Ishiu—a man unwilling to be outdone by girls—none of the other boys in the orphanage were interested in training here. Without Honkai Energy affinity, no matter how hard they trained, they couldn't match these little girls.

So Ishiu was the only boy who regularly came to the training ground.

The first time he came, he had no experience and walked straight into the locker room to change. The result...

Let's not talk about what happened that day. In the end, Bronya beat him so badly he couldn't get out of bed for three days, and he even completed one of the system's "Lazy Person's Disease" quests.

After that, Ishiu learned his lesson. Whenever he saw the locker room door closed, he obediently waited outside.

Sure enough, after a few minutes, the locker room door opened from the inside.

This time, two little girls came out—they looked somewhat similar, but one had red hair and the other blue.

They were twins. The pink-haired one was the older sister, Rosaliya Arlene, and the blue-haired one was Liliya Arlene. One was lively and a bit silly, the other quiet but sharp-tongued, always fond of debunking.

Of course, both were incredibly cute, and when the twins stood together, they triggered the "sister bond" effect, charm +999.

"Ishiu! You're here to train today too!" The pink-haired older sister, Rosaliya, was full of energy as always.

"Morning, Rosaliya, Liliya. You two are pretty early today too. I thought you'd be sleeping in." Ishiu smiled and greeted them.

"Hehe, of course! Training means we have to give it our full twelve percent effort..."

"Because Mom's coming today, Rosaliya wants to make a good impression, so she didn't sleep in." Before Rosaliya could finish her proud declaration, Liliya ruthlessly exposed the truth.

"Liliya!" Rosaliya immediately puffed out her cheeks, shyly pinching Liliya's mouth. "Don't say unnecessary things!"

"Hai hai~~"

"Auntie Cocolia is coming today?" Ishiu asked in surprise. Cocolia had only been here a week ago; he didn't expect her to come again so soon.

"Mmhm! Today's the ability assessment test. I have to perform well and let Mom praise me lots." Rosaliya said excitedly.

"Good luck, then. Alright, I need to go change. See you guys later." Ishiu waved and entered the locker room to change.

After quickly changing, Ishiu came to the training ground. He started with a five-thousand-meter slow jog to warm up, did some preparatory exercises, and then sought out Little Pudding.

"Come on, Bronya. I'm ready." Ishiu clenched his fists, full of bravado. "Today, I'm definitely going to beat you!"

"You should call me Bronya-sister." Bronya glanced at Ishiu, put down her training equipment, and crooked her finger at him. "Come on, let me see if you've improved these past few days."

[Ding! System quest issued: Defeat Bronya. Reward: Unknown]

"Then watch closely!" Ishiu grinned, took a step forward, clenched his fist, and threw a straightforward but lightning-fast straight punch at Bronya.

Bronya's expression didn't change. She shuffled her feet lightly, sidestepping gracefully, and Ishiu's fist slid past her chest.

That was thanks to her flat chest—if she had a bigger bust, it wouldn't have been so easy to dodge. (Laughs)

Then, Bronya raised her hand, locked onto Ishiu's wrist with a textbook disarming technique, and twisted hard!

Even without using the strange power of Honkai Energy, Bronya's physical fitness was impressive. Combined with Ishiu's still-light body, the twist nearly made him lose balance and fall.

Fortunately, his horse stance was solid, and he barely managed to steady himself.

"Take my Destruction Cannon!" With his right hand caught, Ishiu turned his left hand into a fist, like a fierce dragon, and threw an uppercut at Bronya's chin.

"Idiot." In a cool voice, Bronya spun her small body, appearing behind Ishiu, and kicked the back of his knee.

Ishiu reacted instantly, pushing off the ground and flipping midair like a sparrowhawk, dodging Bronya's kick. As he spun, he threw another punch.

This time, Bronya couldn't dodge. She crossed her arms in a blocking stance to meet his fist, but she didn't dare parry directly, because...

"Wing Chun - Inch Punch!"

The punch she'd firmly blocked suddenly released a second wave of force, like an invisible shockwave, bursting from Ishiu's fist and penetrating into Bronya's body.

This was one of the few good things Ishiu had drawn from that damn system.

It had once caught Bronya off guard when she didn't understand its secret, but once she figured it out, Ishiu never got the upper hand again.

Bronya had expected this. Instead of resisting the force head-on, she used it to spin like a Spinning Top, redirecting the energy through leverage and transferring it to her feet.

Bam!

Two deep footprints were stamped into the concrete floor.

"Get down."

Bronya's eyes flickered. She pushed Ishiu's fist upward with her arms, then leaned her upper body back into a perfect Iron Bridge, dodging Ishiu's descending kick as he came down from above.

Then, her waist snapped back like a spring, launching her upright. Her two slender, shapely legs coiled like vipers, clamping around Ishiu's neck just as he landed unsteadily. With a sudden burst of strength from her thighs, Ishiu collapsed to the ground without any resistance, just like a defeated master.

Ishiu, dead.

"I-I give up! Let go, quick!" Ishiu frantically patted Bronya's smooth, fair thighs. Being caught in a leg lock by a beautiful girl might feel great—but not when it's around your neck.

He felt like he couldn't breathe, his face flushed bright red.

Bronya's lethal scissor-leg move was utterly insane.

Chapter 4: Ishiu, the Leg-Breaking Prankster

"Hmph." Bronya let out a light snort, her pretty face slightly flushed. Since the sportswear was light and thin, she was dressed quite coolly now—just a pair of athletic shorts on her lower half, her fair legs exposed. Having them slapped by Ishiu like that made the girl a bit shy.

[Ding, host mission failed.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for losing to Bronya on the hundredth challenge mission, achieving the hidden mission completion condition—Indomitable, Ever-Defeated. You have received a mystery gift pack.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a handkerchief that never gets dirty—PS: He says, what's a little pain in the wind and rain? Wipe your tears, don't be afraid, at least we still have dreams!]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Masochistic Constitution. When struck by a beautiful girl, you will only feel pleasure—PS: Ineffective when struck by a man.]

Damn!

When he heard the system's voice in his head, Ishiu's brows twisted into a deep frown. If the timing weren't so off, he'd have cursed this crappy system a hundred times over.

What the hell is "Indomitable, Ever-Defeated" supposed to mean! Are you saying I'll never beat Bronya?

And what's with that handkerchief that never gets dirty! Are you trying to give me something to wipe my tears with after I lose?

But the thing that made Ishiu want to spit blood was, of course, that damn Masochistic Constitution. Did anyone really think this counted as a reward?

No way, right? No way?

Luckily, with this kind of trait-based reward, as long as Ishiu didn't choose to extract it, it would stay stored in the system space. No need to worry about suddenly becoming a masochistic freak.

"You okay?"

While Ishiu was spacing out over the system, Bronya had already let him go and stood up from the ground.

"I'm fine." Ishiu snapped back to reality and shook his head. Just as he was about to get up from the ground, a small, fair hand was already extended in front of him.

"I told you, you're still a hundred years too early to beat Bronya. Just obediently call me big sister."

"Don't get too cocky. That was just a careless mistake on my part. One day, I'll definitely get my revenge." Ishiu curled the corner of his mouth, not putting on airs, and took Bronya's offered hand to stand up.

"You've still got a long way to go." Bronya crossed her arms, staring at Ishiu expressionlessly. "You know that strange boxing style called Wing Chun, but I can see you only have that one move. Aside from that, your punching patterns, techniques, and overall coordination are so bad it makes me want to cry. Your reflexes are the only decent thing."

Ishiu couldn't help but complain inwardly. He'd like to learn more, but this brain-dead system only gave him that one move. What could he do?

If it had given him the complete Wing Chun style, he'd have Bronya... ahem, he'd probably still get beaten black and blue by her...

"Alright, enough nonsense. Let's start today's training now." With that, Bronya began teaching Ishiu some experience and techniques in combat.

And so, under Bronya's guidance, two hours quickly passed.

"Ishiu, Bronya-sis, you're still training?"

Rosaliya, Liliya, and Seele had apparently finished their practice with Honkai Energy for the day and came over to where Ishiu and Bronya were.

"Of course. I don't want to be outdone by a bunch of girls like you." Ishiu was drenched in sweat from training, but he gritted his teeth and kept going. As he said, he didn't want to be protected by these little girls when danger came.

Though it seemed normal in this world—since only women could wield Honkai Energy, while men couldn't—Ishiu was still a grown man. He didn't want to be a useless bystander cheering from the back when danger struck.

"Ambitious, but you'll never surpass Bronya." A flicker of approval passed through Bronya's eyes, but her words still poured cold water on Ishiu without mercy.

It wasn't that she wanted to crush his confidence. She knew better than anyone that the determination to grow stronger was deeply rooted in Ishiu's bones and wouldn't be easily extinguished. On the contrary, the more cold water she poured, the more robustly Ishiu would grow—that was the tactic of provocation.

"Tch, don't be so absolute. What if I actually beat you one day?" Ishiu pouted.

"If you ever truly beat Bronya, then Bronya will call you big brother." The corner of Bronya's mouth lifted slightly, but due to the angle, Ishiu didn't see it.

A carrot after a stick—young as Bronya was, she was already well-versed in this art.

"Call me what?" Ishiu seized the chance to be cheeky.

"Big brother." Bronya didn't think much of it and answered instinctively.

Ishiu's eyes lit up. He waggled his eyebrows at Bronya mischievously, then burst out laughing. "Ehh~ Not bad, not bad. Truly worthy of being my good little sister."

Bronya's mouth twitched, and the expression on her face instantly vanished.

"Bronya-sis is angry." Seele, who had been watching as a bystander, silently mourned for Ishiu.

She had spent the most time with Bronya and Ishiu, so she knew well what consequences Ishiu's constant antics would bring.

Hopefully, Bronya-sis won't break Ishiu-gege's legs this time...

The girl prayed~~

Whether Seele's prayer worked or not, Ishiu ultimately didn't get beaten by Bronya this time. The reason was simple: Cocolia had arrived.

Cocolia, age unknown, was one of the leaders of Anti-Entropy. She was very beautiful, and though her personality was somewhat assertive, she became incredibly gentle when facing the children of the orphanage.

The children in the orphanage were mostly orphans Cocolia had picked up from various places. She poured her love into them without stint. Though she didn't spend much time with them, her kindness toward them was genuine.

Thus, the children in the orphanage deeply respected and adored Cocolia, calling her "Mom."

Of course, that didn't include Ishiu.

Even though Cocolia had saved him from the ruins of war and treated him wonderfully, he really couldn't bring himself to call a beautiful, sexy big sister who looked at most twenty-eight or twenty-nine "Mom."

After all, he had been twenty-one in his past life.

However, his respect for Cocolia was absolutely beyond doubt.

Chapter 5: Cocolia

Cocolia's purpose in coming today was the children's monthly Honkai Energy control test.

Among the children in the orphanage who could manipulate Honkai Energy, aside from their daily necessary practice, they had a regular test once a month to see if they had improved. The first place winner would receive a reward from Cocolia, so these little girls always worked very hard to meet Cocolia's requirements.

Thus, at Cocolia's signal, the girls in the orphanage obediently lined up in two rows before her.

"Everyone seems to be in good spirits today." Cocolia wore her usual green military uniform, with light makeup on her face, her lips full and bright red. The form-fitting uniform outlined her nearly perfect figure.

Looking at the bunch of little sprouts before her, a gentle smile naturally appeared on her face. "I wonder if you can give Mama a surprise today?"

"Mama, just wait and see! I'm definitely getting first place today!"

"Me too, me too! Rosaliya is so dumb, first place is definitely mine."

"No way, no way, first place is definitely mine."

The little girls immediately burst into lively chatter and noise. Cocolia watched this scene without stopping them, instead smiling warmly as she observed their laughter and play. The fatigue from several days of work seemed to be dispelled by their smiles.

"Alright, everyone quiet down." In the end, it was Bronya, the big sister figure, who stepped in to stop the commotion. Cocolia's gaze toward her grew increasingly satisfied.

Bronya could be said to be the one among these children who made Cocolia feel the most at ease and proud. Whether in strength or temperament, Bronya was so perfect she was nearly flawless.

"Now then, let's begin the test."
