I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

After a good night's sleep in Pascal's mechanical lifeform village, Bronya and Sirin set off to find the birthplace of Eve and Adam.

Bronya and Sirin are sitting in their heavy-duty bunny form, which has transformed into a motorcycle that can float on the desert. They are searching for the ruins of a lost city in the desert.

Bronya was observing her surroundings through a telescope projected by her ability. She put down the telescope, sighed, and said:

"I didn't see any abandoned city ruins..."

Sirin, standing behind Bronya, looked around and said:

"There are no mechanical lifeforms around, not even the remains of a single mechanical lifeform. This probably isn't the place, is it?"

Hearing Sirin's words, Bronya nodded and said:

"It seems so. But where exactly are those mechanical lifeforms?"

Unfortunately, no matter how hard Sirin and Bronya looked, they couldn't see a single sign of mechanical lifeforms. It seems that most things in the game aren't exactly the same as in reality, like health bars...

After searching for a while, Bronya and Sirin finally encountered the mechanical lifeforms. Seeing the mechanical lifeforms wearing tattered cloaks, Bronya and Sirin breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Bronya looked at Sirin and said:

"Can we leave the rest to Bronya, Aunt Sirin?"

Hearing Bronya's words, Sirin looked at Bronya with a puzzled expression and said:

"Huh? Bronya, are you going to let the Heavy Bunny beat them up?"

Bronya shook her head at Sirin's question and said:

"No, Bronya wants to test the Herrscher of Reason's abilities a little."

Upon hearing that Bronya intended to use the Herrscher of Reason's abilities in battle, Sirin looked at Bronya with a surprised and strange expression and said:

"Wait, Bronya, your Herrscher of Reason abilities haven't been awakened for long. Are you planning to fight against mechanical lifeforms using only the Herrscher of Reason abilities?"

Bronya projected a short sword and submachine gun, held them in her hand, and nodded. Sirin, looking worried, said to Bronya:

"Please be careful, if it doesn't work, please tell me!"

Hearing Sirin's words, Bronya's head was filled with question marks. Bronya had initially thought Sirin would try to stop her, but she hadn't expected Sirin to agree so readily. Hmm... this rendered all of Bronya's attempts to persuade Sirin useless, and in a way, Bronya felt a little annoyed...

It's like wasting brain cells.

Bronya sighed and jumped off the Heavy Bunny, while Sirin, standing to the side, had several question marks popping up above her head. Had she just said something wrong?

As for Sirin, if Bronya has anything she wants to do, Sirin will let Bronya do it, even though it's a bit dangerous. Sirin trusts Bronya, and she also believes that she has the ability to ensure that Bronya won't get hurt.

Soon, Bronya, armed with a short sword submachine gun, prepared to charge forward. However, she quickly realized this was inappropriate, so she switched it to a Barrett anti-materiel sniper rifle and aimed at the wandering mechanical lifeforms. Bronya then aimed the scope at two mechanical lifeforms whose figures had merged together.

With a deafening roar, the two mechanical lifeforms were pierced through by a single blow.

The Barrett anti-materiel sniper rifle projected by Bronya was far more powerful than a regular Barrett anti-materiel sniper rifle. Moreover, after Bronya used the Barrett anti-materiel sniper rifle to cut two mechanical lifeforms in half, the eyes of the surrounding mechanical lifeforms immediately lit up red, clearly indicating that Bronya's attack had alerted them.

Bronya didn't pay much attention to her action of disturbing the mechanical lifeforms. A sticky grenade appeared from Bronya's projection and was thrown at a mechanical lifeform at a distance.

The sticky grenade arced through the air and landed squarely on the forehead of a mechanical lifeform. The mechanical lifeform, looking somewhat puzzled, raised its head slightly to look at the sticky grenade stuck to its forehead.

boom--!

With the explosion of the sticky grenade, the mechanical lifeform was instantly engulfed by the explosion.

[Terrible...terrible...]

[Androids, kill them, kill them...]

No, come here...

The mechanical lifeforms ran towards Bronya while uttering incomprehensible words. Seeing the mechanical lifeforms rushing towards her did not frighten Bronya, and she canceled the Barrett anti-material sniper rifle in her hand.

Then Bronya projected two short sword submachine guns and began firing at the mechanical lifeforms. With a crackling sound, a large group of mechanical lifeforms were hit. Because Bronya projected incendiary bombs, the mechanical lifeforms were ignited when the bombs hit them.

If there were health bars, those mechanical lifeforms would have a long red bar above their heads where health would slowly drop.

One of the mechanical lifeforms, wielding a shield and a machete, slashed at Bronya. However, Bronya easily dodged the attack with a forward roll and then delivered a spinning aerial shot to destroy the mechanical lifeform below.

From a distance, Sirin watched Bronya's battle with a tense expression, like a parent worried about their toddler falling while learning to walk.

However, Bronya didn't worry Sirin too much. In less than two minutes, Bronya defeated the small group of mechanical lifeforms and captured one of them.

Sirin, piloting the Heavy Bunny, arrived beside Bronya. Watching Bronya fiddling with a projected keyboard, Sirin, curious, looked at Bronya and asked:

"Bronya? What are you doing?"

Hearing Sirin's words, Bronya didn't turn around and replied to Sirin:

"Bronya is trying to modify this mechanical lifeform. If possible, this mechanical lifeform can take us to the ruins of the city we want to go to."

After hearing Bronya's explanation, Sirin showed an "I see" expression.

Chapter 455 [I Picked Up a Beast-Eared Girl]

In the desert, Bronya, driving the Heavy Bunny with Sirin on board, was following a mechanical life form with two tires.

The two followed the controlled mechanical lifeform toward the ruins of a city. Sitting behind Bronya, Sirin looked up at the city ruins in the distance and said:

"Phew...we're almost there. In the desert, people practically get sunburnt like dried fish..."

Upon hearing Sirin's words, Bronya looked embarrassed and said:

"Won't the Herrscher's words be dried into a dried-up corpse...? But..."

Bronya looked up at the bright sun hanging in the sky. To be honest, as a gamer who likes to play games at home, Bronya prefers to stay indoors and play games.

Soon, the two followed the mechanical lifeform controlled by Bronya to the ruins of a city in the desert. After getting off the Heavy Bunny, Sirin looked at the abandoned city buildings around them and said to Bronya:

"Bronya, what should we do next?"

Although both of them had played the NieR: Automata game, it was just a game. In reality, the collapsed and intricate buildings were enough to make Bronya and Sirin dizzy.

Bronya looked at the collapsed building for a while and then said to Sirin:

"Use a drone to search this ruined city from above. There's a large cavity there; we should be able to see the inside very clearly."

Upon hearing Bronya's idea, Sirin also had a few question marks appear above her head.

"Wait, Bronya, if we follow your idea, why don't we just fly into the air and find that big hole?"

Hearing Sirin's words, Bronya looked at Sirin with a speechless expression and said:

"Aunt Sirin, you should know that countless mechanical lifeforms are hidden in the ruins of this city. Although we are strong, if a large group of mechanical lifeforms were to fly over, it would be a very troublesome situation, wouldn't it?"

Hearing Bronya's complaint, Sirin immediately understood why Bronya didn't just fly into the sky to find the large void. Well... although Sirin and Bronya are very strong and killing those mechanical lifeforms is as easy as swatting mosquitoes, what if it were a swarm of mosquitoes?

That was a nightmare... (at least for the author...)

Bronya then projected a reconnaissance drone with the appearance of a mechanical life form. After the drone flew around in the air for a few laps without attracting any mechanical life forms, it began searching the large hollow in the city ruins.

Sirin, who was standing nearby, took on the roles of bodyguard and cook for Bronya.

After placing the grilled meat sandwiches she had prepared in front of Bronya, Sirin asked Bronya:

"So, have you found the great void where Adam was born?"

Hearing Sirin's question, Bronya picked up the grilled meat sandwich next to her, took a bite, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it. Then Bronya said to Sirin:

"We found it, but..."

Bronya pulled up a few pictures and said to Sirin:

"There are several large cavities in the ruins of this city. To be honest, I'm not quite sure which one is the target we're looking for."

Upon hearing Bronya's words, Sirin also looked at the large holes in the picture with a headache, as the thought of finding several large pits herself was daunting.

However, Bronya, who was eating a grilled meat sandwich, soon discovered a strange spherical object inside a large cavity. Upon closer inspection, Bronya realized that the strange spherical object inside the cavity was actually composed of mechanical lifeforms.

Wait a minute! Isn't that the thing Adam was born from?!

Bronya then quickly told Sirin, who was completely bewildered. Sirin paused for a moment, then nodded to indicate that she understood.

After learning the location and coordinates of the large void, Sirin used her imaginary number ability to teleport herself and Bronya to the location Bronya had mentioned.

...................................................

Within a large void, Bronya and Sirin used imaginary teleportation to arrive at the other side of the void, which contained a metal sphere composed of mechanical lifeforms. As the sphere slowly opened, Sirin clicked her tongue and said:

"Tch, we're too late!"

Bronya didn't say anything to Sirin. At this moment, Bronya was looking for 2B and 9S, but she couldn't see them. A few question marks popped up above Bronya's head. After all, Bronya knew very well that 2B and 9S were present when Adam was born, but she couldn't see them now.

What exactly is going on?

Just as Bronya was wondering about this, she noticed that the figure emerging from the metal sphere composed of mechanical lifeforms seemed a little different from Adam's...

After the figure fell from the metal sphere composed of mechanical lifeforms, Bronya and Sirin were finally able to see what it looked like.

With long, cherry blossom-colored hair, pointed and slender fox ears, and four fox tails on her buttocks, plus the fact that she's not wearing much clothing, she looks exactly like a kemonomimi (animal-eared girl)!

Bronya and Sirin exchanged a glance, both seeing the bewildered look on each other's faces, because they both knew perfectly well that in the game's storyline, what fell down was a naked man with white hair and no nails.

But now...

Then, as if remembering something, Bronya took out her system pointer, and soon saw that the system pointer was pointing at the beast-eared girl lying on the ground.

"Phew... Looks like we've found our target with this beast-eared girl..."

Sirin, standing to the side, looked at the beast-eared girl on the ground with a surprised expression and said:

"Is that animal-eared girl our target? What a surprise... But judging from her appearance, she's probably from the world of Mishiore, right?"

Bronya touched her chin and said:

"That's true... but why did she come out of that place?"

Chapter 456 [Rin, Before She Became a Big Sister Monster]

My body hurts so much... I can't breathe... it's so hard...

Feeling the pain in her body, the girl couldn't help but have difficulty breathing. The blood flowing from her body was slowly soaking her clothes. She could clearly feel the wet and sticky sensation behind her, and the wound on her back was also bleeding profusely, forming a pool of blood.

My body... feels so cold... and my vision... is so blurry...

The girl looked at the cheering soldiers nearby—the very soldiers who had shot and killed her. They were shouting, "We've killed another Herrscher!" and "The Twelfth Herrscher isn't so bad after all~" The girl couldn't understand their words. Why did they have to kill her? She hadn't hurt anyone...

Sister...where are you...Rin misses you so much...

As the girl's vision gradually faded into darkness, her consciousness disappeared, and then a new consciousness was born within her.

【I'll kill you all————!】

"ah--!?"
