Rita: I Don't Feel a Thing / Miss Xing's Anger and Helplessness

There were too many children in the orphanage, Bronya was worried that she wouldn't be able to persuade them all in a short time.

Moreover, Rita is very observant; she might notice many things we miss.

"Indeed, Rita is much better than me in this respect."

Gwen didn't object when he heard this, but he hesitated when he looked at Rita.

"But Rita, you just finished a mission and haven't had a proper rest yet. Won't it be too tiring for you to go out with me again?"

"Oh..."

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Rita couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.

"Although Rita believes that Lord You Lan Dai Er will soon surpass Rita, at least for now, Rita is still the strongest Valkyrie in the records and will not collapse from exhaustion."

"From now on, I'll have to Bianca things here to you, Bianca."

Upon hearing Gwen no longer declined and looked at You Lan Dai Er.

"No problem, leave it to me."

You Lan Dai Er patted his chest, indicating that he was certain he could complete the task.

"Su Shang, the situation here is rather urgent, so I'll have to excuse myself now."

Gwen's gaze did not linger on the **** for long before he stood up and looked at Li Sushang beside him.

"It's alright. Gwen, your priority is to rescue the people. I have Lady You Lan Dai Er to keep me company, so there's nothing else to do."

Seeing that Gwen hadn't forgotten her, Li Sushang immediately smiled and didn't mind Gwen's absence.

"Let's go, the sooner we go, the sooner we'll come back."

Gwen nodded upon hearing this, then took Bronya's hand and left with Rita.

After leaving the building, Gwen did not take off immediately this time, but instead led the two towards the nearest airport.

After the two previous incidents that triggered alarms at headquarters, Amber had already discussed with Gwen that Gwen would have to fly away on his own before the new alarm system was completed. If the energy fluctuations could not be completely concealed to avoid triggering alarms, he would need to take off from the airport.

Upon arriving at the airport, Gwen released Bronya, whom he was holding, and said:

"Rita, Bronya, I'll take you to the orphanage shortly. We'll be there soon, but the flight experience might not be very pleasant."

"Bronya is fine."

Bronya, eager to check on her friends' situation, replied immediately.

"Rita isn't that delicate, Gwen."

Rita smiled as she watched Gwen take two steps back, Gwen planned to lead the two of them away.

Chapter 321 Rita: I don't feel anything at all.

"Alright, alright, then just consider this my nagging as a sign that I'm entering old age prematurely..."

Faced with Rita and Bronya's rebuttal, Gwen smiled and quietly activated the power within his body, once again calling upon the existence hidden within him.

The next moment, a dazzling golden light lit up the airport. Rita and Bronya instinctively raised their hands to shield their eyes from the intense light.

However, both Bronya, who was once a child soldier, and Rita, who is now an S-class soldier, are trying to observe the true form of the light through the intense light.

However, even though Bronya was among the best as a child soldier, her physical limitations prevented Bronya from seeing through the dazzling golden light, no matter how hard she tried.

Rita, standing beside her, squinted and peered through the less dazzling golden light, which Gwen had intentionally controlled, and vaguely saw the true form within it.

However, before Rita could get a good look, the intense light suddenly subsided, revealing the enormous creature that had been enveloped in the light.

"This is..."

Even with Rita's extensive knowledge, having seen almost all of Schicksal's weaponry, she couldn't help but be momentarily stunned when she saw the figure that shone with light.

It wasn't that Rita lacked willpower, but rather that Rita, who wasn't on guard, reacted naturally to the aura emanating from that figure.

"Come on, into my hands."

Once again merging with Apollo and feeling the immense power within his body, Gwen calmed his still somewhat excited heart, then knelt down and placed his hands flat in front of Rita and Bronya.

"Let's go, Bronya."

Rita had already snapped out of her daze before hearing Gwen's voice, looked up and met his gentle eyes. The daze she had just experienced and the wariness that had automatically arisen in her heart when facing a being far more powerful than herself quietly dissipated. She smiled and took Bronya's small hand, who was still in shock, and led her into Gwen's palm.

"This is my first time leading a long-distance flight. Although I will try my best to take protective measures, there are bound to be some oversights. Please pay close attention, Rita."

Gwen gently clenched his hands, holding Rita and Bronya, and as he spoke, he set up more than ten layers of barriers for the two of them.

"Rita believes in Gwen."

Upon hearing this, Rita, who had found Bronya a convenient spot to secure herself, smiled slightly, appearing to have complete confidence in Gwen.

Although she didn't know what Gwen had done, Rita could directly see the multiple barriers that were quietly rising around her. Instead of feeling nervous about something she had never tried before, she felt a rare sense of excitement at exploring the unknown.

"Get ready, I'm about to take off..."

Gwen, who was ready, nodded slightly, and the wings of light behind him slowly unfolded, radiating bright particles of light.

The next moment, the massive body transformed into a streak of light and rushed out of the airport, leaving behind only the system that instantly reported an error.

What does it feel like to be held in the hand of a giant mecha and fly at high speed—a performance art that basically only appears in movies?

Rita could only answer that she didn't feel anything.

Just as Rita was wondering why the impact, which was bound to be much greater than inside the transport ship, hadn't arrived yet, she heard Gwen's voice in her ear—

"Alright, we've arrived."

"Um?"

Just as Rita and Bronya were looking on in surprise, the multiple barriers that had been raised a few minutes earlier quietly dissipated, and a biting cold wind suddenly blew in, snapping them out of their astonishment.

Looking around, Rita found herself standing in Gwen on a snowy plain, with an orphanage that seemed to appear out of nowhere in front of her.

Although Rita felt that it was more appropriate to call this a special forces camp based on the surrounding terrain and environment, the orphanage clearly written in Russian above still identified the building as such.

"This is it!"

Compared to Rita, who was still cautiously surveying her surroundings, Bronya's eyes lit up when she saw the orphanage ahead. If it weren't for her rationality telling her that she had to act with Gwen, Bronya, who had been worried about everyone in the orphanage for several days, would have almost rushed in.

Jumping down from Gwen's grasp, Bronya, trying to suppress her excitement, surveyed the Cocolia Orphanage. Finding only the surrounding area, once a military outpost, now deserted and without any obvious signs of battle within the orphanage itself, she breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, this suggests that the people in the orphanage most likely did not encounter any accidents.

When Rita nimbly jumped down from Gwen's grasp and looked back, she saw that the tall figure had disappeared, leaving only a golden light that quickly shrank and finally transformed into the familiar Gwen.

"How was the flight experience?"

After dissolving the fusion, Gwen took two steps to Rita's side and asked with a smile.

Before Rita could answer, Gwen noticed Rita thin clothing and an idea struck him. A thick men's overcoat appeared in his hand, which he presented to Rita.

"Put on another layer, Rita. It's still quite cold here."

Although this temperature shouldn't be a problem for an S-rank Valkyrie in the short term, Gwen still took out the clothes in her system inventory for emergencies.

As he spoke, Gwen produced a black cotton coat in his other hand and handed it to Bronya.

"Bronya, you should wear more clothes too, don't catch a cold when you go home."

"Thank you Gwen."

Although she was a little Gwen got the clothes from, Bronya only glanced at them once before obediently putting on the cotton coat that Gwen handed her.

On the other side, seeing that Bronya had already accepted the cotton coat, Rita swallowed the words of refusal that were on the tip of her tongue, thanked her, and took the coat and put it on.

Although the low temperature posed no threat to Rita, the windproof coat she wore still brought Rita a sense of peace, and her smile softened unconsciously.

Just as Gwen, along with Rita and Bronya who had been given extra clothes, headed towards the orphanage, inside the orphanage—

"Lilia, Lilia, it's not a bad person, it's Bronya who's back!"

A pink-haired girl with a lively voice was lying by the bed. When she saw the familiar figure outside the door, she excitedly called out to her sisters, sharing the rare good news in these difficult times.

"Lilia saw it, but there were two strangers with Bronya."

With long blue hair that was completely different from her silly older sister, and a much calmer voice, Lilia watched the three people walk into the orphanage and whispered a reminder.

322

Chapter 322 Grandpa Xing's Anger and Helplessness.

The Arlene sisters, namely the silly older sister Rosaliya Arlene with long pink hair and the older sister Liliya Olenyeva with long blue hair who likes to tease her, are two lively characters from the Cocolia Orphanage.

Unlike the precocious Bronya, the Arlene sisters are perfectly integrated into their age group, and have idol dreams that are common among little girls.

However, in this time of sudden change, it's too early to talk about dreams. The two sisters, who were leaning against the window, were doing their job of guarding the door.

However, because of the familiar figure that appeared outside the door, the two sisters seemed to forget their mission—

"That makes sense."

Hearing her sister's reminder, Rosaliya Arlene instantly spotted Bronya's black cotton coat, and suddenly, a wild idea popped into her head, and she exclaimed—

"Lilia, Lilia!"

Do you think the outfit that person put on Bronya was one of those things from the HOMU Adventure series that can control people?

By dressing Bronya, he had taken control of Bronya!

"How could that be? That kind of thing only exists in comics. How could such a thing exist in reality?"

Hearing her older sister's offbeat remarks, Lilia was always ready to tease her, didn't hold back at all and delivered a sharp retort.

Just as the Arlene sisters were getting more and more off-topic and were about to completely forget their mission, a voice that sounded quite menacing rang out behind them, instantly silencing Arlene—

"Who do you think is being controlled?"

"Bronya is back. She didn't..."

Hearing that seemingly very irritable voice, Lilia stiffened, then turned around, ready to explain to the current protector of the orphanage that it was just Rosaliya's imagination.

A few days ago, the army that was originally responsible for protecting the orphanage and the children inside suddenly mutinied. The original protectors even wanted to become perpetrators and enter the orphanage, which was once run by their leader, to rob it.

However, before the troops who had harbored such intentions could act, their evil plans were shattered by the owner of the voice through bloodshed and violence, and they fled in panic.

After the mutinous army withdrew, Ahn-Marr had protected the orphanage with her abilities, naturally gained the upper hand.

Everything from assigning people to guard the orphanage gates to prevent bad guys from breaking in was handled by Ahn-Marr.

However, before Lilia could finish speaking, Ahn-Marr, who had seen Bronya running quickly towards the building after Lilia stood up, felt her heart race and rushed downstairs—

If it weren't for her remaining rationality, she probably would have smashed through the window and jumped out.

However, even someone as clueless as Rosaliya could sense the violent aura emanating from Ahn-Marr as she ran downstairs.

"Lilia, Lilia, Xing doesn't seem very happy..."

The pink-haired girl, who had shrank back, tugged at her sister's arm and whispered.

"You idiot Rosaliya, you've made a mess of things."

Although Ahn-Marr usually acted like a tyrant in the orphanage, the terrifying aura emanating from her at this moment still made Lilia feel a little uneasy, and even her tone when complaining about her older sister became a bit gentler.

However, although her words softened, Lilia's actions were anything but gentle—

"You idiot Rosaliya, get up and explain yourself."

As she spoke, Lilia forcibly dragged her outspoken older sister down the stairs.

Just as the Arlene sisters were trying to salvage the mess they had made, Ahn-Marr, rushing downstairs, ran into Bronya face to face—

"Apricot!"

Despite some unpleasantness in the past, seeing Bronya again, who seemed unharmed, still brought a bright smile to his face. His anxiety, stemming from observing signs of commotion around the orphanage, also subtly eased.

"Bronya ..."

Hearing Bronya call her name with her own ears sent a shiver down Ahn-Marr's spine.

However, with Rosaliya and Lilia's words still ringing in her ears, and seeing Bronya's radiant smile, the ecstasy that welled up in Xing's heart instantly transformed into boundless rage—

"You two bastards, what did you do to Bronya?"

Holding a strange sword that looked like it had been pulled from some web game, she pointed it at Gwen and Rita standing side by side behind her. Ahn-Marr heterochromatic eyes were filled with rage, making her completely ignore what she saw in the two of them—
