Snacks for Luna

Because she was told on her phone that she might be monitored, Bronya chose to come in person for a face-to-face meeting.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm not going to eat you."

Hearing Bronya's string of words, Gwen smiled and comforted Bronya, poured a glass of water for both of them, handed the warm water to Bronya, then sat down and asked with a smile,

"Tell me, what did she do that made you, Bronya, willing to tell me all of this?"

"Call..."

Even with Bronya's usual indifference, she took a deep breath before slowly speaking, recounting the news she had learned that evening.

Hearing this news, which was unexpected but consistent with his Remembrance, Gwen's expression became more serious.

"Hmm, it's not much different from what I know..."

Although I never expected her to be so crazy, daring to trigger Great Honkai in a densely populated area like Changkong City ..."

After Bronya finished speaking, Gwen gently put down his water glass and said seriously.

"..."

Seeing Gwen's reaction, Bronya's eyes flickered slightly—

Although she had long suspected that Gwen was likely a member of Schicksal, Gwen's current reaction confirmed her suspicions—if he were a member of Anti-Entropy, he would be furious by now.

Only those who are detached from the Schicksal can approach the current events with this attitude.

However, no matter what she was thinking, Bronya's expression remained unchanged.

Bronya put down the water glass, which was larger than her two hands, and took out a piece of paper from her pocket, handing it to Gwen:

"After returning, Bronya used her authority to investigate the flow of supplies and personnel deployment, and identified several special locations."

This may contain the key location that triggered the Honkai.

"That's thoughtful of you."

Gwyn glanced at the list of place names Bronya had provided, Gwen, placed it on the table, and looked up at Bronya.

"Now that Cocolia has told you about her plan, has she assigned you any tasks?"

"Leading the Titan Unit... to annihilate the newly born Herrscher."

Even Bronya was somewhat speechless when she spoke of her mission.

"Hmph, a leaf before the eyes blocks out Mount Tai."

Even though Gwen already knew this was the outcome, he still couldn't help but make a negative comment.

Even if Cocolia didn't know that Mei, after Herrscherization of Mei, would be Herrscher of Thunder Electromagnetism, sending Bronya with a team of Titans to capture someone... still seemed a bit like sending someone to their doom.

"..."

Bronya didn't comment on Gwen's sharp remarks. She simply picked up her water glass again, tilted her head up to look at Gwen, and wondered how he would react.

"Now that I've assigned you a mission, Bronya, do you know when Cocolia plans to initiate the artificial Honkai?"

Gwen quickly abandoned his attempt to comment on the now-mad Cocolia and instead asked about the important matter at hand.

"It's not confirmed yet, but she's instructed Bronya to increase her surveillance of her older brother."

Bronya shook her head and told her everything in detail.

"Spying on me... Humph!"

Recalling Cocolia's oppression of Raiden Mei and his own relationship with her, Gwen had a vague guess in his mind and snorted coldly.

However, Gwen spoke gently to Bronya:

"In that case, Bronya, you can continue to keep a close watch on me..."

Even though he believed that with Seele as a backup plan, Bronya wouldn't harm him, Gwen still didn't tell Bronya his plan, both to protect himself and to protect her.

"...good."

Seeing Gwen's confident demeanor, Bronya said no more.

After seeing Bronya off, Gwen returned to his bedroom, quickly washed up, and instead of sleeping or meditating, he took out blood-drawing equipment such as lancets and blood bags, preparing to draw blood.

Chapter 202 Food for the Valkyrie Quicksilver

Eden, who had already awakened in the Sea of Quantum, was used to Gwen's strange behavior and remained silent.

After Gwen suppressed the flow of energy in his hands, the sharp needle gently pierced his skin, and bright red blood gushed into the transparent transfusion tube, quickly flowing into the blood bag below.

After his shopping spree at the beginning of the month, Gwen, whose points were running low, stopped frequenting the Eigenworld and the World Bubble, but he couldn't let the food supply for the Valkyrie Quicksilver run out—

We can't stop her before she loses control for the first time under the Valkyrie Quicksilver, and then let her go and let her suck Seele's blood or go out and attack passersby again, can we?

Even for Seele, a natural-born Awakened One of the Stigmata, the total amount of blood in her body is limited before she has been trained and developed. After being drained of her blood by Valkyrie Quicksilver, she will only die from excessive blood loss.

In comparison, Gwen blood is only a drop in the ocean as long as he has enough energy, is a great human blood bank.

Moreover, from a personal perspective, Gwen didn't really want Valkyrie Quicksilver to drink other people's blood anymore.

Therefore, after returning from the Sea of Quantum, Gwen would bleed a little every two days and then have Seele pass it on to the Valkyrie Quicksilver.

However, compared to usual, Gwen bled much more today, taking five blood bags before finally finishing.

"Um?

Why did you prepare so much today?

After several blood bags disappeared from Gwen's hands, Eden asked with some confusion.

Despite possessing a blood-generating ability far exceeding that of ordinary people, Gwen had never given away so much blood at once before.

"After all, the operation will begin the day after tomorrow."

Hearing Eden's question, Gwen smiled, dealt with the medical waste at hand, and casually replied:

"Although the plan seems foolproof at the moment, there are always unexpected things in this world—"

"If something unexpected happens, and I'm severely injured and fall unconscious in a potential battle, wouldn't the other side, Valkyrie Quicksilver, be left without supplies?"

"Um...

Being prepared is a good habit.

Although Eden believed that Gwen, given his previous display of strength, shouldn't possess a technique capable of rendering her unconscious, he still praised him for considering the possibility of defeat before victory.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Gwen didn't feel that Eden was intentionally flattering him.

Even with some fragmented Remembrance, Eden, as the most brilliant star of the Previous Civilization, had witnessed countless people of extraordinary talent, so Gwen probably just thought it was a habitual compliment.

After dawn, and another relaxing and enjoyable day of vacation, in the living room of the Gwen—

"Mmm... I'm so full..."

Kiana, clutching her round little belly, leaned back on the sofa, radiating the blissful feeling of a full meal. Her eyes were narrowed to slits, and she wore a look of pure satisfaction.

"Mei's grilled steak is delicious!"

"You're only mentioning Mei and not me again, aren't you?"

Gwen had just finished wiping his hands, walked over and gently tapped the white fluffy ball's head.

"You've eaten quite a few of my lamb skewers too."

"Hey-hey..."

As the saying goes, "He who takes a man's money is bound to him, and he who eats his food is obligated to him," Kiana, who usually enjoyed arguing with Gwen, simply chuckled and tried to get away with it.

"They're all delicious, they're all delicious, I like them all."

"I think your belly likes it very much..."

Gwen glanced at Kiana's belly, which she was covering with her hands, and suppressed the urge to pat it, teasingly saying,

"Hehehe..."

Kiana continued to giggle, maintaining her obedient and docile demeanor.

"Alright, Chisey, stop teasing Kiana."

Raiden Mei was used to Gwen teasing Kiana, and walked over to the two of them, smiling as she took Gwen's hand.

"Look, Mei said she's fine now."

Kiana, ever the opportunist, said with a grin.

Kiana's antics filled the warm living room with a joyful atmosphere.

However, it wasn't long before both Mei and Kiana noticed Gwen's increasingly serious expression.

"Chisey, what happened?"

In the end, Mei, who knew more than Kiana, couldn't suppress her worries and asked.

"Um..."

Under Mei's worried and Kiana's surprised gaze, Gwen slowly nodded, instantly freezing the previously relaxed atmosphere in the living room.

"What happened?"

It's my father..."

Mei almost instinctively worried about her father—

Although Raiden Ryoma's once glorious image has crumbled, he is still the girl's father and only relative, so he cannot help but worry.

"Don't worry, Mei. There's no news about your father yet, which means he should still be safe."

Gwen gently pressed down on the girl's hand, soothing her restless heart—

Although after the confrontation, the two tacitly reduced their interactions such as holding hands, as if they had returned to what they were a month ago.

However, as time went by, this tacit understanding gradually disappeared. At this moment, Gwen held the girl's slender hand, which only brought her peace of mind and reliance, without panic or struggle.

"So, what exactly is it?"

Kiana, seeing that Gwen hadn't said what it was about, scratched her head and asked anxiously.

"The living room isn't safe enough, let's talk in the study."

Gwen shook his head slightly, not answering directly, but instead walking towards the study first.

Mei and Kiana exchanged a glance, then followed Gwen out of the living room.

"Kiana, look at this."

Once inside the study, Gwen didn't keep her in suspense any longer and handed the photograph to Kiana.

"What... what is this... stinky old man?"

Kiana was still wondering why Gwen had given her the photo, but when she saw what it contained, her eyes widened in surprise.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be Kiana's father."

Gwen nodded and began to recount his fabricated story, which was nothing more than accidentally seeing this photo while surfing the internet and discovering Siegfried's whereabouts.

"This guy..."

Kiana's fair hands bulged with veins, her eyes, fixed on the photo, were misty with tears, and she gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"When I find him, I'll give him a good beating!"

However, despite saying that, Kiana's small, veiny hands didn't ruin the photo in the slightest.

Seeing Kiana like this, Mei didn't say anything. After exchanging a glance with Gwen, she gently patted Kiana's shoulder, silently comforting her.

"Call..."

After a long while, Kiana, her eyes red-rimmed, finally let out a long breath and sniffled her sore nose.

"Thank you, Chisey."
