"Lin Feng... maybe we shouldn't..."
"That's right, absolutely not!"
"Please don't tell Herta you met me, okay?"
When she learned what Lin Feng intended, Bronya's face first lit up with excitement. Then, as though something unpleasant had occurred to her, her expression immediately changed, looking somewhat hesitant and serious.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"Miss Bronya, don't you want to have a proper chat with Herta?"
Even the normally unflappable Lin Feng was stunned by Bronya's words, his face full of confusion.
For all his quick thinking, Lin Feng couldn't understand what was going on with the silver-haired girl before him.
"I do, of course I do... Herta is my very, very dearest friend."
"But... I don't want her to worry. I don't want her to feel sad about my fate..."
"The Fragmentum crisis has already encroached on Belobog, and our reserves of ores are almost exhausted. I'm afraid Preservation City, which has held out amid the wind and snow for seven hundred years, won't last much longer..."
"As commander of the Silvermane Guards, I've always fought on the front lines against the Fragmentum Monsters. Perhaps someday soon, I'll fall on the defensive line protecting the city, just like my former comrades..."
"So please don't tell Herta about me, okay?"
Her rosy lips parted slightly, and a watery shimmer began to gather in Bronya's beautiful amber eyes, making her look touchingly vulnerable.
Looking at the tearful, beautiful silver-haired girl before him, Lin Feng felt a strong urge to pull her into his arms.
But he couldn't do that yet. With someone as upright and courageous as Bronya, he had to move her with sincerity.
"All right, I'll agree for now..."
"It won't be too late to contact her once the wind and snow have disappeared from this planet..."
Lin Feng nodded
