After waking up from unconsciousness, Bronya felt that something was very wrong with her entire being as she opened her eyes.

She remembered her name and knew that her body had problems for some reason.

Even in her mind, the figure of a black-haired girl kept flashing, and beside that black-haired girl, a giant robot stood silently on the ground, as if protecting the girl.

Bronya remembered that the girl's name was Seele, her incredibly important adopted sister.

And the robot's name was Project Bunny 19C, a gift from Seele to Bronya after they parted ways.

However, besides that, Bronya discovered...

...her mind was completely blank of any other memories.

The knowledge needed for daily life was still there, but the current Bronya couldn't recall what she used to do or who her family and friends were.

Therefore, upon seeing the two strangers, Raiden Mei and Kiana Kaslana, Bronya immediately became vigilant and put some distance between herself and them.

"Bronya doesn't know you two."

"Who exactly are you two?!"

Upon hearing Bronya's wary words, Kiana was the first to glare angrily at the girl in front of her.

"Huh? You kidnapper, how dare you question me and Mei?"

"If it weren't for Mei and I putting aside our past grievances to bring you out, you'd be feeding the Meele right now!"

"Meele? That's a species that appears after Honkai Energy infects humans."

After stating the knowledge in her mind with no inflection, Bronya's suspicion only increased.

"According to Bronya's judgment, this type of species usually wouldn't appear in urban areas. Moreover, even if Bronya encountered Meele, she wouldn't think she'd lose to such lowly creatures."

"You...!" You're making me so angry!"

Looking at Bronya's utterly cold expression, Kiana felt her temper about to explode.

If it weren't for her close friend Raiden Mei holding her right hand and constantly giving her meaningful glances to calm down, Kiana might have already grabbed her baseball bat and intended to teach the young girl in front of her a lesson.

"Alright, Bronya is leaving."

After jumping up from the sofa, Bronya brushed off the dust from her clothes and glanced at Gu Yu, who was lying on the bed.

It was fine not to look, but when she caught sight of the man on the bed...

...Bronya's usually calm heart suddenly stirred slightly.

After her gaze was drawn to Gu Yu, Bronya herself found it very strange.

She knew her body had problems; along with her legs being injured, her emotional module was also severely damaged.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't have any strange emotions towards a stranger.

But with just a glance at Gu Yu, Bronya felt that she definitely had some connection with this man.

This feeling of inner turmoil, is it love?

No, it shouldn't be.

Is it admiration?

No, that's clearly not it either.

Family affection? Friendship?

No, it's probably neither.

This emotion was clearly very negative.

In just one second, Bronya analyzed the rare emotion that appeared in her heart.

This emotion was anger.

Bronya wanted to punch the man in front of her!

"Mmm... am I out?"

Rubbing his head as he got up from the bed, Gu Yu opened his eyes and saw a very peculiar scene.

Raiden Mei and Kiana were both looking at Bronya, who was staring at him.

And Bronya, who was staring at him, had her eyes flashing with cold light.

"He woke up faster than me?!"

Upon seeing the look in Bronya's eyes, Gu Yu immediately activated his Stigmata.

Without even time to transform, Gu Yu drew the Card Holder Sword materialized at his waist, switched it to gun mode, and aimed it at Bronya.

"Kid, don't move rashly!"

"Project Bunny!"

Before being pointed at by the gun, Bronya decided to follow her inner feelings.

Although she didn't know exactly what had happened between them, Bronya felt she should still summon her familiar yet unfamiliar partner.

After being materialized from the Sea of Quanta, Project Bunny immediately shielded its master.

But this time, Bronya, protected by Project Bunny, felt something was... off.

"Project Bunny?"

Normally, even an energy-based robot born in the Sea of Quantum wouldn't develop emotions.

But now, watching Project Bunny's trembling body, Bronya couldn't help but feel...

"Is Project Bunny afraid of this man in front of me?"

The thought made Bronya's gaze towards Gu Yu even more suspicious.

It was inevitable that she and Gu Yu would have a conflict, but how could this man not even spare robots??

Just how insane was he!
