Aunt Misteln. / The Dagger Is Revealed.

Looking at Gwen, whose body was shimmering with various colored halos, Misterine couldn't help but show a somewhat worried and regretful expression.

However, Misterine, who knew nothing about Gwen's condition, dared not make any rash moves, fearing she might hurt Gwen. She could only remain in her previous position, watching Gwen with worry.

Although she was determined to die, it was only because she was overwhelmed by self-blame and guilt after unintentionally hurting someone. It doesn't mean she was a madwoman who wanted to drag others down with her. Besides, Gwen had just helped her rescue her friend's child.

Chapter 304 Aunt Misterine.

Under Misterine's tense gaze, the hazy aura surrounding Gwen's body slowly dimmed and eventually disappeared, revealing Gwen's figure within.

"Call..."

Seeing that Gwen was still rosy, his breathing was steady, and there was nothing unusual about his aura, Misterine finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, perhaps because she was too nervous in the heat of the moment, Misterine did not notice that Gwen's spiritual energy, which he had spread around her, remained as steady as a rock, without any abnormality.

Because of these scattered spiritual energies, Gwen, while concentrating on absorbing the energy surging from Misterine, also noticed the changes in Misterine's expression, and a slight thought stirred within him—

"It seems that compared to the seemingly gentle but actually somewhat cunning Feather Rabbit in the future, Misterine is still a little naive now..."

After pondering for a while, Gwen, having finally digested the massive amount of Honkai Energy delivered by Misterine, finally opened his eyes.

Are you alright?

Although she could sense Gwen's calm aura and mental state, Misterine still asked him the question the moment he Gwen up.

"Of course, I feel great right now."

Gwen smiled and nodded, shaking the hand he was holding with Misterine.

"For me, the Honkai Energy you transferred... is quite a good supplement—"

It not only helped me recover from the exhaustion I suffered during our previous sparring session, but also allowed me to gain some valuable experience.

"I'm glad I didn't cause you any trouble..."

Seeing Gwen's smile, Misterine finally felt completely relieved.

"And you?

How was the treatment outcome?

Although Gwen had been helping Bronya with her mental state, he didn't know much about neurology and could only seek answers from Misterine.

"Yes, the treatment was very successful."

When Gwen asked about Bronya, Misterine's lips curved into a gentle smile.

"Although it was somewhat risky, the final result was quite successful."

The child's brain damage has fully recovered, and I believe he will wake up soon.

As she spoke, Misterine looked at Bronya on the sickbed with incredibly tender eyes.

After all, since her birth, Misterine has been a walking disaster, and countless attempts to save people have all turned into disastrous consequences.

To date, aside from the time she activated the Stigmata to save Alexandra, this is the first time Misterine has personally saved someone, fulfilling her lifelong wish since birth.

"Yes, it should be soon."

Gwen stood beside Misterine, looking at Bronya on the sickbed.

"Just now, while I still had some energy left, I also used my mental power to help Bronya calm down..."

Before Gwen could finish speaking, Bronya's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her silver-gray eyes, looking somewhat bewildered at the two people standing in front of the bed.

"Brother Gwen?"

Besides..."

Bronya Gwen Remembrance not yet synchronized and who was still in a daze, looked at Misterine standing next to Gwen, holding his hand, and couldn't help but show a cute and confused expression that Cocolia Orphanage.

"!"

Realizing that she was now visible to ordinary people, Misterine's gentle smile froze. Her habit of avoiding other people's gaze over the years made her subconsciously prepare to blur her body.

However, just as Misterine's figure faded slightly, a sudden external force on her hand startled her, and she turned to see Gwen shaking his head slightly at her.

When Misterine saw Gwen stop her from dodging, she wanted to say something, but then she saw Bronya, who had already fixed her gaze on her and clearly saw her, so she finally gave up dodging and her body, which had just become somewhat ethereal, returned to its original state.

Seeing that Misterine had given up dodging, Gwen smiled and said to Bronya, who was lying on the sickbed:

"Bronya, did you sleep well?"

As he spoke, Gwen reached into his pocket with his other hand, pulled out a picture of Seele, and handed it to Bronya—

For Bronya, Seele was undoubtedly the best stimulant.

Sure enough, Bronya's gaze cleared up immediately after seeing Seele in the photo.

After a moment of silence, Bronya, clearly recalling what happened before she lost consciousness, looked at Gwen with a grateful smile on her face—

"Thank you for saving Bronya, brother Gwen."

You're welcome, Bronya.

It seems your Remembrance is fine, so I can be honest with Seele now.

Seeing the smile on Bronya's face, Gwen paused for a moment, then realized what Misterine meant by repairing all the damage to Bronya's brain. He quickly used the friend system's photo function to capture Bronya's smile and then materialized the photo—

"And, Bronya, you have a really cute smile."

With that, Gwen handed the photograph to Bronya.

"Um?"

Looking at her own sweet smile in the photo, Bronya was stunned for a moment, filled with doubt. She raised her hand to touch her face in disbelief and looked up at Gwen.

"Bronya clearly..."

"Alright, Bronya, let's not bring up those unpleasant memories anymore."

Gwen reached out and patted Bronya's head, explaining with a smile.

"Your Aunt Misterine just treated your brain injury, and now you can laugh whenever you want, just like before."

"Yes, thank you, Aunt Misterine."

Upon hearing this, Bronya's astonishment was finally resolved. She turned her surprised gaze to Misterine beside Gwen and gave a big smile.

Although Gwen hadn't introduced Misterine to her yet, Bronya was certain from the other woman's reaction when Gwen mentioned the name that she was indeed Aunt Misterine Gwen had mentioned.

"Um... you're welcome, Bronya."

Upon hearing Bronya's address to her, Misterine's expression became slightly unnatural. Looking at the smile on Bronya's face, she hesitated for a moment, but instead of laughing, she sighed softly.

"If it weren't for my choice back then, you might not be in this situation now..."

After spending nearly three months with Alexandra, Misterine returned to the Imaginary Space due to her own characteristics. When she returned to the real world, she could no longer find her only friend.

In her search for Alexandra, Misterine sought out the Gray Serpent, whom she had previously rejected, and asked him to help her find Alexandra. She eventually found Alexandra's tombstone and learned Bronya's whereabouts from the Gray Serpent.

305

Chapter 305 The true intentions are revealed.

At Alexandra's tombstone, Gray Serpent once asked Misterine whether they should find and raise Bronya had been living away from home.

However, after learning that Bronya did not possess the same talent as Alexandra and was mediocre in this field, Misterine still chose to give up.

Misterine was already destined for a path of no return, and dragging Bronya, who had mediocre talent in this field, into it would only harm her.

In comparison, Misterine thought it might be better to let the other person live an ordinary life.

However, neither Misterine nor Gray Serpent could have imagined that Bronya's fate would be so difficult. After losing her family, she became a child soldier. Not long after being adopted by Cocolia, she was put on the experimental table and even had a brain chip implanted in her.

In contrast, although Misterine didn't think the Gray Serpent was anything good, and the World Serpent was no better place, she was certain that as long as she was useful to the World Serpent, Bronya, who had been adopted because of her, would live a very comfortable life.

Comparing the two, Misterine couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

However, before Misterine could finish speaking, Bronya interrupted her—

"There are no 'what ifs' in the world."

Looking at Misterine, Bronya spoke slowly but firmly.

"Moreover, Bronya is very satisfied with her life and has never thought about what it would be like to live another life."

If I were in the alternate future that Misterine described, would I still meet Seele?

The moment the question flashed through her mind, Bronya had the answer. Her words to Misterine were so resolute and firm that Misterine was taken aback.

Looking at Bronya's small face, which showed no hesitation and was full of determination, Misterine felt that it was gradually overlapping with the thin face of her friend from more than ten years ago, which made her already somewhat turbulent heart even more turbulent.

"Um...

You look a lot like your mother...

For a moment, Misterine, her mind in turmoil, didn't know what to say and unconsciously brought up her former friend.

"Bronya's... mother?"

Bronya was taken aback when Misterine brought up the topic.

Bronya truly lacked a real connection with her parents, and now, hearing Misterine speak of them so suddenly, she felt a strange emptiness and sadness in her heart.

Although everyone in the Cocolia Orphanage is like family, and Cocolia is their foster mother.

But... these are ultimately different from those of biological parents.

"Um..."

Now that the topic had been brought up, Misterine no longer avoided it, and a look of reminiscence appeared on her face.

"Bronya, your mother's name is Alexandra. She was a very strong woman and a great mother—"

Faced with a choice between life and death, she resolutely chose to leave the right to live to you, while she herself faced the coldness of death...

"Is that so...?"

Upon hearing Misterine's words, Bronya, who had imagined her parents more than once, froze, revealing a complex expression that mixed joy and deep sadness, yet also carried a sense of unfamiliarity.

Having lost her senses for a while, her newly recovered emotional functions struggled to process these complex feelings, causing Bronya's little face to scrunch up—

"Bronya... understands."

On Bronya's small face, two lines of clear tears slowly flowed down, leaving two glistening water streaks on her delicate face.

Seeing Bronya like this, Misterine's sorrow and longing grew even stronger, but she still tried to maintain her composure and attempted to comfort Bronya—

"My child, perhaps the early passing of your parents has added many hardships to your life, but please believe that your mother has always loved you, and even before you were born, she prepared the most precious gift for you..."

"Yes, Bronya understands..."

Despite saying this, the tear tracks on Bronya's face grew wider and wider, showing no signs of drying.

Stimulated by the intense emotions, Bronya, who had just woken up, quickly fell into a deep sleep again.

Bronya, sleeping peacefully like a delicate porcelain doll, suddenly Misterine:

"Thanks."

"Um?

You're welcome."

Gwen responded with a smile and tucked the blanket around Bronya.

As for why Misterine was eagerly waiting, didn't do it herself?

Although Misterine has been able to control her Honkai Energy to some extent, getting close to her is tantamount to going through hell for Bronya, whose Honkai Energy resistance is not so good.

Therefore, although Misterine really wanted to kiss Bronya's forehead gently on Alexandra's behalf, she took a few steps back and watched Gwen Bronya down.

"I remember you seem to have the ability to unfold mental landscapes and reveal your Remembrance to others. Why not let Bronya see her mother?"

Gwen straightened up and looked at Misterine, who was still staring intently at Bronya, and asked her a question as if to remind her.

In the original final chapter Misterine used this to show Bronya her past and indirectly helped Bronya become the true Herrscher of Reason.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Misterine Gwen a hint of surprise and gently shook her head.
