An Excited Lyle, a Cool and Distant Bronya

Bronya discovered the blind spot.

Online discussions have erupted over the less than two-minute video.

But the most important thing is still that song.

Oracle!

Because the singer of this song is not Eden, whom they are familiar with.

It was a name that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Bell.

In reality, they would never know someone with this name, but in the Honkai anime, this name has appeared.

That's Sakura's younger sister.

"Ring? Could it be the ring I'm thinking of?"

"The voices don't sound quite right. Maybe it's just a coincidence of names. After all, the character 'Ling' isn't uncommon. What if the singer's name also contains the character 'Ling'?"

"That's true, but I just have this inexplicable feeling."

Speculation about the singer has resumed online.

Little did they know, their guess was correct.

The singer is Rin, Sakura's younger sister.

In the Golden Courtyard, ever since Yaqing and Snakey returned to Central Europe to visit their relatives, Elysia has become extremely bored. Before, she had someone to livestream with, but now she's all alone, and Eden has suddenly become busy as well.

Fortunately, with the arrival of summer vacation, Kosma and Rin were both on holiday, and Hen took leave to travel with his whole family. Without Mobius, his and Blanca's leave requests were quickly approved.

"Huh? Ring? Did you sing this song?"

Elysia was extremely surprised.

Ignoring that it was a live broadcast, he turned to look at Ling.

Ling was blushing.

"Yes, that's right, Sister Elysia..."

Elysia's eyes lit up immediately, and she rubbed her face against Rin's soft cheek.

"Rin, you sing so well!!!"

"No, there isn't any..."

Ling scratched her head.

She had mentioned to her sister that she wanted to study art in college, since her grades weren't very good; she was only in the middle of her class.

If you want to get into a top-tier university, like St. Freya Academy, you'll have to think about other ways to boost your application.

Sakura wasn't very clear about this kind of thing, but Yaqing happened to be there at the time, so she asked him what he thought.

"Sure, Ling's voice is indeed quite good. If you want to get extra points for art-related projects, I can help you out."

These were Yaqing's exact words at the time.

Eden is indeed a global superstar, and songs sung by her naturally gain popularity. However, there are advantages and disadvantages. Many of Eden's fans only know that the song is sung by Eden, but do not know that the song is from the anime Honkai 3rd.

Therefore, Yaqing is looking for a breakthrough.

And the bell was the breakthrough he was looking for.

Although he is still a bit green, thanks to his relationship with Eden, he can definitely follow in Eden's footsteps and mature for a few years.

A top-tier university? St. Freya?

For him, it was just a matter of saying a few words.

He doesn't like power, but he likes the benefits that power brings.

Perhaps, Rin is a rising star, the future Honkai Diva.

As for Kosma, he didn't say a word and remained completely silent.

Pardo is not here, and Ling cannot understand.

Elysia's mind is completely focused on Rin right now.

This left Kosma, who had been speaking his mind, somewhat embarrassed.

What should I say? Should I compliment the song? Or congratulate Rin? Would saying the song is good seem too abrupt? But if I congratulate her, would it make Rin feel awkward? But if I don't say anything, won't they think I'm weird?

The promotional video's popularity has been steadily building.

It wasn't until its premiere three days later.

In Central Europe, Yaqing, along with Otto and Ziegfried, was preparing to watch Post-Honkai Odyssey 2 with a long face.

Kallen, Mobius, Cecilia, Kiana, and Mei —I don't know if women are just naturally friendly, but even though they've only met a few times, they hit it off immediately and became best friends in no time.

They're out shopping together now, leaving the three men at home watching TV in a miserable state.

Yaqing has been hearing it so often lately, Kallen keeps asking him why he didn't bring Ying along.

Every time this topic comes up, Otto gives Kallen a murderous glare from behind, so she can only say that Sakura has been busy working overtime lately and hasn't had time to come to Central Europe.

"Ha, I didn't expect it to be like this again."

Otto gave a cold laugh.

He's gotten somewhat used to it.

Every time Ziegfried and Cecilia came to visit them, it would end up with him and Ziegfried watching a play together.

He clearly wanted to watch it while holding the sweet and soft Kallen.

Now he even looks at Ziegfried with a strange sense of disgust.

Otto thought so, and Ziegfried thought so too.

Only Yaqing was experiencing such a scene for the first time.

"I'm truly impressed..."

Yaqing mumbled something under her breath.

He now really regrets coming back. If he hadn't, he would probably be in the Golden Courtyard, holding the sweet and soft Mobius, enjoying a happy life with Elysia and Kevin.

Now I can only watch TV series with two grown men.

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

The atmosphere among the three was very strange.

[The opening title of Post-Honkai Odyssey II follows the ending of Post-Honkai Odyssey I. After Adam and Mei both fell into a coma due to the battle, the only remaining fighting force was Carol.]

Just as Carol was about to leave with Adam and Mei, the monster reappeared. In her panic, she suddenly remembered Mei's teachings and forced herself to calm down.

After dealing with a few small monsters, Carol stared wide-eyed at the enormous creature that had appeared. Her attacks were completely ineffective against this boss, and even her gauntlets were about to overload.

After a fierce battle, Carol was covered in wounds, her eyes devoid of light, as if she had exhausted even the last bit of strength.

"Senior... Captain... I'm sorry... I didn't manage to..."

Carol's last words were weak and filled with despair.

"No way? They're going to start surgery right away!"

The Miss Pink Elf, who was live-streaming, was completely dumbfounded.

She thought the big Bronya would come to their rescue, but even Carol had to give it her all. They were truly at their wits' end.

She now has absolutely no trust in the scriptwriters who Honkai story; they can strike without warning, leaving her no time to react.

"Where's Bronya? Come out and rescue her!"

Rin, who was livestreaming with Elysia, panicked; she was genuinely scared.

"Holy crap, no way! They just attacked with a knife right away, giving us no chance to react at all?"

"I can already imagine what's going to happen next: the giant Bronya makes its appearance, wreaks havoc, and saves everyone!"

["I disagree. I feel this episode will focus on Carol's growth, and she'll only meet the big Bronya after she successfully rescues Adam and Mei!"]

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.

Everyone was speculating about how the story would unfold next.

Is it depicting Carol's growth or Bronya's rescue?

At least for now, Post-Honkai Odyssey 2 is very popular.

Chapter 503 Excited Lyle, Cold Bronya.

[A flashback begins, taking place before coming to Saint Fontaine. Theresa assigns Mei a task and mentions Adam and Carol. Mei speaks highly of Adam.]

But when Carol was mentioned, Carol happened to arrive at the scene, so Mei hung up the communication with Theresa.

Carol's arrival was for a simulation test, to see what role she would be assigned to the squad in the upcoming mission.

The simulation test was a piece of cake for Carol, but things took an unexpected turn at the end. The mech used in the simulation test suddenly went out of control and started attacking the students in the academy.

Carol unleashed 1000% of her power to protect others, until she was completely exhausted.

Mei, however, told her that the mecha was not out of control at all, and that she had successfully passed the simulation test.

The focus of this mission is to deal with emergencies, complete the task, and rescue teammates; neither of these are wrong options.

Carol was very puzzled. If it were Mei, how would she have done even better?

The flashback has ended.

"Tsk, so... it's another difficult question: should we abandon our companions to complete the mission, or abandon the mission to protect our companions?"

This is practically a trolley problem.

Ziegfried frowned.

"I think I would definitely choose to protect my comrades. The mission may fail, but my comrades cannot be brought back to life."

Even though there is no Kaslana's Stigmata bloodline in reality, that protective heart still flows in his heart.

"Is that so? What if the cost of mission failure is the lives of many innocent civilians? Ziegfried, in that case, would you choose to protect your comrades or complete the mission?"

Otto added a further cost to the already difficult problem.

Ziegfried's brow furrowed even deeper.

Otto smiled.

"Hahaha, isn't that simple? A steadfast choice, only the price isn't high enough. That's human nature. Ziegfried, think about it again. If your companion were Cecilia, what choice would you make?"

Otto pressed on with his questions.

Ziegfried's brows furrowed, and his lips trembled slightly.

On one hand, there's the matter of protecting Cecilia, but that would mean the deaths of countless civilians if the mission failed; on the other hand, there's the matter of completing the mission, but that would mean Cecilia ...

Yaqing suddenly interrupted and asked Otto.

"Teacher, what if your classmate was Kallen..."

Before Yaqing could finish speaking, Otto's voice rang out without the slightest hesitation.

"I choose to protect Kallen."

Otto sneered. Not to mention the lives of countless civilians, even if Kallen hesitation.

This stands in stark contrast to the hesitant and indecisive Ziegfried.

"What do I have to compare with Otto..."

Ziegfried immediately realized what was happening.

Otto is a monster. Let alone people who have nothing to do with him, even his family, friends, and disciples, if given a choice between him and Kallen, he would choose Kallen without hesitation.

The scene returns to the Aten Magic City. Carol's consciousness is blurred, and she has forgotten the excellent solution that Mei mentioned back then.

But that doesn't matter now.
