The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

“…I see. Is that so?” Bronya [Hersher of Reason] blinked, lowered her head, and put on an expression as if she was thinking about something.

Bronya was dumbfounded: "You... don't believe it?"

"Hmm?" Bronya [Hersher of Reason] turned her gaze to herself after she transformed. "Is there anything strange?"

"..." Bronya was speechless for a moment. It was not until this moment that she fully understood why Kiana looked so irrational when she saw her other self [Hershers of the End].

At that time, Bronya actually couldn't understand Kiana's feelings.

Isn't it just another Kiana who picked up a boy and made a boyfriend? Even if it's the same Kiana, she's not you, what's there to be defensive about?

It was not until now - after facing these two equally stubborn "Bronias" that Bronya finally realized that things were far from as simple as she thought.

Chapter 4 Bronya's Brain Storm (k)

Although Bronya herself knew that she and the other "Bronyas" on the Hyperion had the same identity, they were, in the final analysis, different individuals who could appear in the same world at the same time and in different postures.

——However, even if they are different individuals, the fact that they are the same person cannot be changed.

This "unchangeable" fact is reflected in many aspects. For example, they have exactly the same personality, exactly the same way of speaking, exactly the same body, and quite similar souls.

To put it bluntly, they are both Bronya, but because of their different experiences, they have embarked on completely different paths.

From this, Bronya was able to further infer... or what had happened not long ago was that since the other two of her had set their sights on the "Captain", and the "Captain" was so deeply loved and even admired by the other Valkyries, in this case, she was almost certain of what choices the other two "Bronias" would make.

Whether it's Bronya, or Kiana and Raiden Mei who came to the original world with her, they all come from a future that is completely different from the world that Hyperion lives in.

They were not familiar with Li Shubai, and had no idea what the captain had done to cause most of the Valkyries on the Hyperion to fall into such a desperate situation. They couldn't even understand why "another self" liked him.

Although for the sake of various interests, they chose to temporarily join Hyperion and accepted the identity of its "Captain" leader.

But for the three Valkyries who had just joined the ship, none of them had any intention of interfering in the complicated emotional life of the "captain".

They were not prepared to comment on the captain's private life.

After all, for Valkyries like them who fight for the world and civilization, emotional life actually only occupies a very small part of their lives.

Therefore, no matter how messy the "Captain"'s private life is, as long as the relationship between him and those Valkyries is consensual, the three outsiders will certainly not be so unromantic as to do something like breaking up the couple.

However, once "those Valkyries" included several "other selves" who were identical to them, the originally simple matter suddenly became extremely complicated.

In the eyes of the Valkyries belonging to the Hyperion, this super-space battleship with many special abilities, which can even transcend time and space to a certain extent, is actually no longer a simple aerospace ship.

Although most of the Valkyries on the Hyperion have their own world, in a sense, the Hyperion is actually a kind of "home".

What is home? To describe it in warm words, home is a warm harbor, a home for the soul, and a place to place your emotions.

But to put it in a more blunt way, the so-called home is a legal, reasonable and most accepted place in the world.

As long as they are at home, loving couples can express their emotions for each other unscrupulously. They desire each other, demand from each other, and shout each other's names with all their might when expressing their love.

As for the Valkyries who were "charmed" by their captain, who suddenly transformed and lost most of their ability to resist, and who were unable to resist from the bottom of their hearts due to guilt, when they and the captain appeared in "home" at the same time, there was only one thing they could do; or, in other words, what they wanted to do.

Of course, even if they return home, as long as the couple has a normal sense of shame, it is impossible for them to suddenly start doing it in front of outsiders or guests.

Therefore, during those two days, all outsiders on the Hyperion were politely asked to leave by these Valkyries.

However, no one knew what the Valkyries were thinking. The three of them had clearly just joined Hyperion, and had no intention of getting involved in the Captain's messy emotional life. But after asking Walter Young and Kevin to leave... the Valkyries seemed to have forgotten about the three of them. Not only did they leave them in Hyperion, they also did not tell them what a terrible place Hyperion would become.

The first person to notice something was wrong was Kiana.

In addition to the long-awaited teacher Himeko, not long after arriving on the Hyperion, she even met the "mother" who was supposed to appear only in her dreams.

For Kiana, this was such a precious miracle. Therefore, even if she was not prepared to get involved in the Captain's chaotic emotional life, she still cherished her time on the Hyperion.

Whenever Kiana is free, she will look for Cecilia on the Hyperion. If she has something to do, she will watch her mother from afar for a while and then leave. If she has nothing to do like herself, Kiana will take the initiative to walk up to her and start a conversation with this gentle yet heroic mother, spending some warm and peaceful time with her daughter.

And Cecilia has never expressed any annoyance or disdain towards Kiana. Rather, from the very beginning, this former strongest Valkyrie, who has devoted her life to "rescue", has already regarded Kiana as no different from her own biological daughter.

Kiana originally thought that, at least before she left the Hyperion, she could immerse herself with Cecilia in this warm atmosphere that she had longed for so much.

Until... she and Cecilia accidentally ran into another her [Herrscher of the Fire].

Don't get me wrong, it's not that she had a conflict with [Herrser of Fire] or anything, it's just that when she was face to face with another her [Herrser of Fire], that shameless guy... who was wearing a gorgeous dress, pushed the captain, who was only as tall as her [Herrser of Fire]'s chest, against the wall, and did something that made the mother and daughter who witnessed it all stunned for a moment.

To be honest, compared to Kiana [Hersher of the End] who also possesses the power of the end like herself, Kiana has always believed that this [Hersher of the Fire] who looks much calmer and more rational is the one who is closer to herself.

After all, before achieving [The End], the attitude she displayed was actually exactly the same as the other party.

Except for the dress which looks noble and gorgeous.

Although she was not the kind of girl who loved dressing up, and the clothes she usually wore were mostly military uniforms and combat clothes, when she saw the dress worn by her other self [Hersher of the Fire], although she did not say anything, deep down, Kiana was actually very amazed.

She never imagined that her other self, [Herrser of the Fire], would wear that kind of clothes and press the captain against the wall without any scruples.

Seeing [Hersher of the Fire] wearing that noble, beautiful and gorgeous dress, and using some liquid to wet and dirty it bit by bit, Kiana, with her face flushed and steam coming out of her head, immediately wanted to step forward to stop them.

But just before she was about to stop the couple from doing that right under her nose, Kiana, who had just raised her legs, froze in place as if her whole body was frozen.

Because, when she moved her body slightly and shifted her perspective a short distance, she arrived at... next to her other self [Herrser of the Fire], there were actually two Valkyries squatting.

From her previous perspective, the two Valkyries squatting beside her other self, the Herrscher of the Fire, were blocked by the fluffy hem of the dress and the floating cloak made of crystals.

After Kiana saw clearly that the two Valkyries were Mei Raiden [Herser of Thunder] and Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings], she couldn't help but take a step back despite her already confused mind.

As a result, this step back caused the back of her head to hit Cecilia's chest.

God knows what kind of mood Kiana was in when she fled from under Cecilia's nose. In short, when she rushed to Bronya and Raiden Mei of her own world with tears in her eyes like a steam princess, and tried her best to make them escape together, at that time, both Raiden Mei and Bronya felt angry.

The two men, who thought that the "captain" had finally shown his fangs and had molested Kiana, were ready to fight. With fierce eyes and imposing manner, they vowed to seek justice for Kiana who had been bullied by the bad guys, and walked step by step towards the direction she had come to them while Kiana tried her best to stop them.

As a result... when they finally arrived at the target location, what they saw was a battle that had completely escalated from "flirting" to "real guns and live ammunition."

So, the three fearless ladies of Herrscher, who even dared to confront Kevin directly, fled in the same manner as Kiana just now, and ran out of this place of trouble that had completely turned into a cave with steam coming out of their heads.

During these three days, Bronya had been trying to force herself to forget that scene. She told herself that the adult form of Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] was not her. That person had the right to choose her lover and of course had the need to be with her lover in her own home. Even if that person had the same name, identity, and body as her, she would not care at all...

...I don't care about it! Who wouldn't care about something like this?

Bronya, who prided herself on being rational and indifferent to emotions, felt confused when she thought about what had happened to the captain and the other two.

She had no doubt that during those two days, not only the [Secondary Silver Wings], but even the [Hermit of Reason], which appeared to be underdeveloped, had definitely attacked the "Captain".

Considering the worst-case scenario, maybe not just the Bronyas, but even Seele might...

Bronya didn't dare to think any further.

She had always considered herself to be a fairly intelligent person.

After obtaining the power of the Herrscher of Reason, Bronya also gained the ability to imagine abstract concepts in the form of concrete pictures and designs.

But at this moment, she would rather her brain become as dumb as Kiana's, and she would rather her power as the Ruler of Reason be temporarily ineffective.

It was precisely because of her overly powerful ability to draw inferences that when she saw her adult self [Secondary Silver Wing] taking the initiative to lure the captain into the arms of love, she could not help but think of other things, and imagined those things in the form of pictures, in every detail.

Just as Bronya's mind began to play terrible scenes uncontrollably, a deep space crack was suddenly torn open from the back. Kiana [Hersher of the Fire] who came out of the crack looked around the [Cocoon], then stretched her hand out from the crack and waved it slightly.

"We have already obtained the blueprints of the planet before it was reset by [The End]." Kiana [Hersler of the Fire] said, "Bronya, who among you will take it over?"

"Give it to Bronya." Bronya immediately floated her body and moved closer to Kiana [Hersher of the Fire]. "Among the three Bronyas present, only Bronya's Power of Reason is complete and has undergone a thorough 'transformation'. Let Bronya complete the work of reading the blueprint."

"Of course I can, but..." Kiana [Hersher of the Fire] raised her eyebrows and tilted her head, her calm and beautiful face revealing obvious confusion.

"But what?" Bronya asked.

"Why is your face so red?" Kiana [Hersher of the Fire] blinked her eyes. She asked the question that arose in her heart without any malice and with pure confusion.

Bronya's expression suddenly changed, and then her childish smile suddenly became stiff. The tone of her voice was stiff and flat, as if the emotional module in her brain had burned out again: "Whether Bronya blushes or not doesn't seem to have anything to do with Kiana."

"How can it be unrelated? This mission is very important to everyone! I won't be at ease until I figure out why Bronya has become like this!" Kiana [Hersher of the Fire] glared and refuted Bronya's words without hesitation.

Chapter 4: When we make mistakes, we have to be together to be safe (k)

On certain occasions, Bronya would always wonder if she had offended Kiana in some way.

Well, if I must say, actually during the period when they were Valkyrie reserve at St. Freya's Academy, from the surface, the relationship between Bronya and Kiana was not really that good.

The two compete with each other academically (although there is a huge gap in their academic performance), and have many frictions over various big and small things (although Kiana has never gotten any advantage from Bronya).

Occasionally, in order to stimulate Kiana, Bronya would even deliberately do some things to show her closeness to her sweetheart, Raiden Mei.

However, this relationship and conflict, which was almost like that of enemies, gradually disappeared into the beautiful memories of the past as the two grew up.

At least, now that Seele has been brought home, Bronya will most likely not take the initiative to do anything out of line towards Mei Raiden.

In fact, not only her, but even Kiana herself, after becoming mature, has restrained a lot of her old driver-like personality.

As far as Bronya knows, Kiana nowadays is unlikely to be able to say such unpleasant words as: "I want to drink Mei's juice" or "I want to eat instant noodles with the flavor of a beautiful girl".

She even doubted that if Mei Raiden and Kiana really became a couple, the person being pinned down would most likely be Kiana, rather than Mei Raiden, who was cool and full of unstoppable aura.

Of course, Bronya actually knows that the relationship between Kiana and Raiden Mei is far from being called a "couple."

Although they seem to have a close relationship, if they encounter any crisis situation, these two girls who have established a close bond will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for each other.

But Bronya could still see at a glance that there was no real love between Mei Raiden and Kiana.

- At least, when the three of them defeated Kevin, the relationship between Mei Raiden and Kiana was far from reaching the stage where friendship deteriorated.

However, Bronya couldn't really say. If they continued to be unable to find the opposite sex they liked, would these two just have to make do with each other and live together?

In fact, not only the two of them, but even Bronya herself has shown similar tendencies to Seele.

Therefore, if one day, Bronya finds out that Kiana likes a man, while examining that boy, she will most likely give Kiana her sincere blessings.

The same is true for Mei Raiden.

Even Bronya herself had fantasized about whether one day in the future she would be in a relationship with a man she didn't know yet.

They are all Herrs. If nothing unexpected happens, relying on their bodies that have been completely sublimated by the Herrscher core, most of them will have a very long lifespan like those fusion warriors from the previous civilization era.

Even someone as smart as Bronya can't really predict what she will encounter in the future.

From a certain perspective, if one has such a long lifespan, after experiencing enough time, it would not be surprising to encounter any strange things.

Haven’t you seen that the squad leader whose mission was to fight against the collapse, after waking up, suddenly found that his body, which was supposed to have lost its soul, had run away?

Bronya originally thought that with her rational thinking and intelligence, as well as her thrilling legendary experience that could barely be considered as saving the world, she should be able to face any strange things calmly and calmly.

Kiana has a boy she likes?

Although it's a bit surprising, it doesn't seem to be a very strange thing.

Raiden Mei has a boy she likes?

Oh, that Mei sister finally found her lover.

I also have a boy I like?

Well——if that boy is really suitable for Bronya, it is not something that is unacceptable.

That is, if Bronya finds a boyfriend, what will happen to Seele?

——Yes, if these three things happened separately, Bronya would probably feel the same way.

Even if I was surprised, it was far from being so surprising that I lost my rationality.

……Yes.

If these three things happen "alone".

In a sense, if we talk about the "dirty" degree of thinking, among the three of them, Bronya is probably the most "dirty" one, and should also be the one with the most experience and knowledge.

Let’s not talk about Raiden Mei, who has received gifted education since childhood under the protection of Raiden Ryoma; Kiana looks like an old driver, but the character of this old driver is actually just forced. In most cases, Kiana is just talkative, and the only person she will hug is Raiden Mei.

In Bronya's eyes, compared to the old driver, Kiana's behavior is more like that of a little boy who clearly has no experience but still likes to pretend to be an old driver among his peers. His nature may even be purer than that of Raiden Mei.

But she was the only one who was different.

Although that somewhat sad past had long been thrown into the depths of her memory as garbage, due to Bronya's love of thinking, the knowledge and skills retained in her mind were not simply thrown away by her.

Therefore, even though she was adopted by Cocolia and sent to an orphanage, when Xier was kidnapped, she was able to skillfully disguise herself as a prostitute, and when the target was confused, she skillfully took off her stockings and killed those targets who were possessed by lust one after another.

Therefore, Bronya was very sure that among the three of them, she was the only one who was truly a "old driver".

But even so, even someone like her who prided herself on being knowledgeable had never imagined that one day she would actually see three of them, Herrschers with very high abilities and ambitions, openly doing that to a boy they didn't know.

This isn't even something like "mutual affection" or "love". Judging from the skillful actions of the three "selves", "Kiana" and "Raiden Mei" from different worlds, it's obvious that this is not the first time they have done these terrible things to the captain.

And then——one of the culprits actually had the nerve to run up to him and asked him righteously why she had become like this...
