Although Xing still wants to continue communicating with the dark Lord Hook and continue to "explore" the lower areas, the most urgent task now is to seal the star core.

So she nodded firmly: "Let's go."

Sambo immediately said, "Alright! Make sure you bring plenty of food and drinks, as we'll have to climb quite a few stairs."

…………

The world of the Quintessential Quintuplets,

In the evening, at the Nakano family,

Nakano Ichika opened her mouth wide as her gaze followed the star into the core.

"This staircase... is really long."

It was so long that she couldn't see the end at a glance.

Nakano Nino wiped the nonexistent sweat from her forehead and said, "My calves are already sore."

Nakano Miku glanced at her second sister out of the corner of her eye: "Nino usually goes shopping a distance no less than this, right?"

Nakano Nino frowned slightly: "How can this be the same?"

Nakano Nino argued: "Shopping is done with a different pair of legs, just like sweets are stored in a different stomach!"

Yotsuba Nakano, the athletic pro among the five sisters, stroked her chin and nodded: "Well, this staircase is within my tolerance."

Nakano Satsuki touched her belly and said, "I need 10 meat buns... no... 20!"

…………

[As Xing and the others continued to climb the stairs leading to the upper area]

Bronya, who had already arrived at Klipperburg, opened the door to the office of Grand Guardian Cocolia.

"Mother, I'm back."

Bronya looked at Cocolia, who was sitting at her desk with a worried look on her face, with a complicated expression.

Chapter 132: The Debate at Crippleburg

Cocolia was surprised and delighted: "Bronya! I thought... I thought I was going to lose you."

…………

The world of Akame ga Slash,

"It doesn't look... fake."

Main scratched her head in confusion. Why did she feel that the surprise in Cocolia's eyes was so real?

But...isn't Cocolia planning to cooperate with the Star Core to create the new world she envisions?

Maine looked at Leone with a pleading look.

"Why are you looking at me? I've never given birth to a child!"

Leone felt uncomfortable being stared at by her and could only look at Nadezhda with the same eyes.

As the saying goes, a disciple is half a son. With a good disciple like Mayin, Nadezhda is now a mother.

"I think you deserve a beating."

Najetta hit Leone's forehead with a mechanical flying fist, indicating that they could wait for the information about the new world that Cocolia mentioned.

…………

Demon Slayer World,

Kamado Aoi nodded with certainty: "This feeling is definitely not false."

Aoi Kamado was willing to use her experience as a mother of six children to guarantee that Cocolia absolutely loved Bronya.

…………

St. Freya's College,

A ripple appeared in Bronya's calm eyes.

They are exactly the same, Cocolia's mother from another world.

She sighed and said lightly:

"Mother Cocolia naturally loves the children in the orphanage..."

Even when she became enemies with Cocolia, Bronya still believed in this.

But this love seems too twisted, and Bronya doesn't like Cocolia's behavior.

…………

[Cocolia then said: "Where did you go? Are you hurt? I'll call the housekeeper right away—"]

Bronya quickly shook her head: "No, that's not necessary! I don't really want to see Sebastian right now. Sorry, mother..."

…………

"Sebastian...?"

The Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, Phantomhive House.

A skeleton wearing a luxurious robe and a noble boy with an eye patch on his right eye, two people in different worlds made almost the same sound at the same time.

Almost at the same time, a man in a black tuxedo appeared beside the two of them.

The gray-haired butler bowed and said, "Lord Ainz, what can I do for you?"

A young butler with black hair and red eyes suddenly appeared from nowhere: "Master."

"Sebastian... a name that sounds like a butler..." The two people looking at the butler beside them expressed similar feelings.

…………

"I'm fine, really fine," Bronya continued. "I ran around the lower districts a lot and fought a few battles, but overall I'm doing OK."

"Lower level? Ah... I see."

Cocolia's attitude changed slightly, and her tone changed from the initial concern to a gloomy one.

"Then please report your observations to me, Commander Bronya."

Bronya seemed to notice Cocolia's change of attitude, but continued to report, "After the pursuit at the edge passage failed, I and the wanted outsider were somehow taken to the lower district."

"We formed a temporary alliance due to environmental pressures and worked together to help the residents of the lower districts solve some...survival problems."

"We also defeated the ancient machine called Swarlow and learned some truths... the truth about the star's core."

[“…” After a moment of silence, Cocolia’s voice deepened, “I’m listening… Go ​​on.”]

…………

Conquer the world of girls,

Ryuko Chan covered her eyes in pain.

"It's over, this is the rhythm of the fight."

Rushing to the suspected final boss without caring about anything, such reckless behavior, even for her...

…She seems to be really working!

On the first day of school, he pointed a knife at the student council president and asked her if she was the murderer or something like that...

"That's okay."

Ryuko Matoi covered her head with a book.

…………

[Bronya argued as the leader of the Silver Mane Guard:]

"Lord Cocolia, I guarantee with my life that those aliens are not the evil party we previously imagined."

"I saw them draw their weapons for justice, and risk their lives for the ideals of others. I can confirm that they are indeed here for the star core, to undo the disaster it has brought to Beloberg."

[Feeling she's almost there, Bronya switches back to her daughter's identity:]

"Mother... You've always known the truth about the Star Core, right? I will eventually gain access to that knowledge. One of the prices of becoming a Guardian is to carry these secrets forever."

"So... forgive my offense, I think ordering the extermination of outsiders is the wrong choice. The City Builders have been waiting for hundreds of years to solve the problems caused by the star core, and they may be the ones who—"

[Cocolia, unable to bear it any longer, shouted, "Enough!"]

【“……!”】

[Bronya looks at her mother in disbelief]

[Since she could remember, this was the first time Cocolia had shown such impatience in front of her.]

"Arrogant, ignorant... You disappoint me, Bronya."

…………

Fuyuki City,

Toosaka Rin straightened her body.

Based on her experience arguing with her father, Tōsaka Tokiomi, when she was young, Cocolia was obviously impatient and then used her authority and strength to completely suppress Bronya.

"I hope Bronya has a chance to escape."

The plan to persuade Kokolia had apparently failed.

I just don't know if Bronya can find an opportunity to reunite with Xing and the others, just like she did when she sneaked back to Fuyuki City.

…………

[Cocolia scolded:]

"You only glimpsed a corner of the snowy mountain and thought you saw the truth. You only got splashed with mud on the lower level, and yet you dare to question my orders?"

[“Iron Guard! Bronya—”]

[“—They’re not scum!” Bronya retorted excitedly.]

"My life story, the things you never told me... I remember them all now. I won't evade you anymore, Lord Guardian! Please stop giving me vague excuses."
