Well, let’s not talk about whether Cocolia believes it or not. Even if she believes it, how can she face those who died in the past because of her orders?

How does she face her past?

How does she face her life?

If you don't believe me, she will continue to push forward with her plan and directly confront us, the nameless guests who just like to meddle in other people's business.

She will continue to push forward her plan and choose to die at the hands of us unknown guests as an explanation for the past, and then hand over a brand new Beloberg to her daughter Bronya.

So this is a tragic woman.

Of course, Jeppard would not know about this, so March Seven, Xing and Sakura did not know about it either. They just followed Jeppard with innocent faces into Klipper Castle to meet Cocolia.

Volume 7: Chapter Bronya, will you let me be your...

"…But such a sacrifice is meaningless. You can't—"

"You can leave, Bronya, the visitors have arrived."

"Well…"

As soon as I entered the room, I heard this conversation, which is exactly the same as the original plot. Did you come on time?

The girl named Bronya glanced back at us, biting her lip unwillingly. Her emotions suddenly stopped, and her gaze remained on my face for a few seconds before she quickly turned her head back and whispered, "Yes, Mother."

Bronya turned around and planned to leave.

As she turned to face us and walked towards the door, her eyes glanced at me again.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows, then moved a little and stood in front of her.

"guest?"

Bronya stopped and looked at me in confusion.

Everyone present looked at us.

It wasn't my intention to be so conspicuous, but I did have my reasons for doing so—I hadn't finished copying yet, could I let her get away like that?

I need to use Bronya's clone tonight, okay?

"Hello, Bronya, can I ask you a question?"

"cannot!"

March 7th jumped out from the side and covered my mouth. What does this have to do with you?

San Yue Qi ignored me and said to Bronya with an embarrassed apologetic smile: "Sorry, our companion is called Dan Heng. He has some mental problems. Please don't mind it."

I pulled San Yue Qi's hand away and looked at her accusingly: "Do you know what I'm going to say?"

Sanyueqi looked me in the eyes and said, "No matter what you say, it will definitely make us wanted and become fugitives. Kaituo's journey has never been smooth sailing with you around."

"How could you say such words? I feel seriously insulted."

"Um... honored guest, is everything alright?" Bronya said hesitantly. "If not, I'll take my leave for now. Mother seems to be waiting for you to come forward and see her."

"No, I have something else to ask you."

"So I've already told you, Dan Heng, please shut up. I really don't want to be wanted anymore."

"You don't even know what I'm going to say."

Seeing my persistence, Sanyueqi sighed heavily and finally walked away. He came to Xing's side and held Xing's hand: "Be prepared, Xing. This is your first time experiencing this kind of thing. You may be a little panicked, but you will get used to it slowly."

Are you crazy?

I stared at Sanyueqi in bewilderment, desperate to know what was going on in her head. Am I the kind of person who doesn't know the importance of things? I was just trying to buy time to clone Bronya. Who would mess around and make themselves a wanted criminal?!

"Excuse me, sir, what question do you want to ask?"

After hearing what Bronya said, I ignored March Seven and focused all my attention on Bronya.

"Bronya, do you think I'm pretty?"

"………ah?"

Bronya seemed confused.

I explained: "What do you think of my appearance? You seemed to be stunned by me just now. I must be very beautiful in your eyes."

Bronya blushed slightly. "Um... the guest is indeed very... handsome. I'm sorry, I've never seen a man as handsome as you, so I'm a little rude."

"It's okay, I don't care. The point is that you do think I'm good-looking, right?"

“…………Yeah, yes.”

Bronya's seemingly reluctant answer made me smile, and then, with anticipation, I asked again, "Do you think I could be your father?"

"…………………………ah?"

Bronya made a stunned sound.

Jeppard stiffened, as if wondering if he was hallucinating.

Xing opened her mouth wide, stunned.

San Yueqi covered his forehead with his hands, with an expression that said "I knew it".

I ignored her and continued to talk to Bronya, "Well, your mother seems pretty, so I want to be your father. I think I should ask for your consent first, right? So, Bronya, what do you think?"

"How dare you! Outsider!"

Jeppard, who finally reacted, was scowling with anger.

"How can the Great Guardian allow you to insult him like this?!"

"When did I insult her? I want to pursue her when I see her. This is obviously a compliment, okay?"

Bronya looked back and saw that her mother's face had indeed darkened, and she was giving the man in front of her a death stare.

Seeing this, Bronya's expression turned cold. "You are so disrespectful. Apologize to Mother immediately, or we, the Silvermane Guard, will never let you go."

Seeing Bronya winking at me, I immediately understood what she meant. I walked forward, looked at Cocolia, and said seriously, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked your daughter first. Your name is Cocolia, right? Are you willing to find a father for your child?"

The atmosphere at the scene grew colder.

Cocolia finally spoke: "Outsider, are you deliberately provoking me?"

"Although I think it may be late to say this, I'm sorry, he has always been like this."

Compared to Xing who was still dumbfounded, Sanyueqi sighed and said:

"If you take his words seriously, you'll lose, because we on the train have actually always been wondering why he didn't go to the tavern and be a masked fool."

"Because no one invited me!"

I actually feel something is wrong. Aha, your messenger is still here waiting for you to come and grant you power. Why don’t you come?

"But in March, I have to declare for the record that, unlike before, this time I mean it."

"Are you serious about marrying a married woman? She already has a daughter! Her husband might still be around!"

"It's okay. I calculated it. Bronya is her adopted daughter. She doesn't have a husband."

"That's just wishful thinking on your part!"

"No, this is true."

"Ah? Really?!"

Sanyueqi looked at Bronya in surprise when she confirmed the situation.

"Um... that..." Bronya felt she had said the wrong thing, but she continued, "The successor to each generation of the Great Guardian is chosen from among all the children of Beloberg. After the most outstanding successor is chosen, the current Great Guardian will adopt him or her, and this continues for generations."

"Bronya, there's no need to say anything more."

Cocolia's face was cold, and she was still staring at me.

"Answer me, outsider, are you deliberately provoking me? Why?"

"Because you want to hinder us from achieving our goals."

It seems that my proposal was politely rejected.

There was no other way. To save face, I had to follow Cocolia's lead and say, "Our passage is blocked by the star core, and we can no longer leave this world. In order to leave, we must get rid of this world's star core—but you can't allow that, right? After all, this world's star core is still whispering in your ear, asking you to quickly eliminate us who threaten its existence."

My words seemed to bring silence back to the place.

Jeppard and Bronya looked as if they had no idea what I was saying, Cocolia narrowed her eyes and stared at me intently, March Seven also opened her mouth wide this time, looking at Cocolia in disbelief, Xing finally recovered from her previous confusion and turned to look at Cocolia seriously, Sakura also looked as if she didn't understand and blinked cutely.

"...What are you talking about?" After a while, Cocolia said, "What star core?"

"There's no point in covering up now. Your previous silence has already revealed the answer. No one here is stupid."

Having been rejected, I was in a state of wanting to take revenge on society. Looking at Cocolia, I said calmly:

"Seven hundred years ago, Yarilo-VI was invaded by the Antimatter Legion. Beloberg was no match for the Antimatter Legion at the time, so the Great Guardian of that generation placed their hopes on the Star Core, wishing it to destroy the Antimatter Legion—but the Star Core never fulfills the wish in the way the wisher expects."

"So, an endless cold wave descended, covering the antimatter army and the entire Yalilo-VI, leaving only this city to survive."

"However, seven hundred years have passed, and the Rift has expanded with every passing moment. Generation after generation of Great Guardians has grown increasingly desperate. Now, Beloberg is on the verge of complete destruction. So, you, the current Great Guardian, seeing no hope, once again place your only hope on the star core, which will never grant your wish in the way you expect."

"Death doesn't matter, because all those who died will be reborn in the new world. You clearly know that the Star Core won't fulfill this promise in the way you expect, but you still can only pin your hopes on the Star Core and be bewitched by it."

"All these years, the policies you've issued that people have questioned are because of this promise. You're deliberately sending people to their deaths."

"But no one can blame you, Cocolia. After all, if outsiders like us hadn't come, you would have no other choice."

"I need to apologize for being late. Although we have no obligation to save the world, and although even gods cannot save all suffering people, we were late, and that is why your tragedy happened. Therefore, I apologize to you."

"But no matter what, we are here now, bringing with us the power to resolve the star's core problem, and another hope for this world. We are here."

"So, Cocolia, what's your choice?"

"It is to trust us and let us seal the star core and save the world."

"Or will you continue to believe in the Star Core, carry on with your plan, let everyone die, and then be reborn in the new world that the Star Core promised?"

I looked directly at Cocolia, who pursed her lips, and said calmly:

"Like I said, Cocolia, no one can blame you for all the decisions you made before."

"With our arrival, everything you've done has become an irrefutable sin. But even so, you can blame yourself, but no one else can blame you, because you had no choice."

The voice of the star core has the power of bewitching. All the great guardians of the past generations have been bewitched by the star core, but all the great guardians have held on. Only when it came to Cocolia, she could not hold on.

But this does not mean that her willpower is weaker than that of other great guardians, nor does it mean that she has been really bewitched by the star core and has lost all her self.

Her love for Bronya is real, her love for Beloberg is real, and the smile she showed before disappearing at the end of the original plot was also real.

She just... had no choice.

Continuing to fight against the Star Core will only lead to destruction, while accepting the Star Core's instigation may still give her a glimmer of hope. In this situation where there is only one option to choose from, who can blame her choice?

"But, Cocolia, let me state again that you now have a new choice. Now that the options have become two, what is your choice?"

Cocolia raised her hand to her forehead and stared at me intently: "...Who knows if what you said is true?"

"The Great Guardian?!"

"Mother?!"

At this moment, Jeppard and Bronya finally recovered from their shock and looked at Cocolia in shock, because Cocolia's words undoubtedly meant that she had acknowledged my statement.

Of course, Cocolia no longer cared about this matter at this point: "You are just a group of irrelevant outsiders. It is not your turn to interfere in the future of Yalilo-VI."

Looking at Cocolia, I sighed, "Let me state again, Cocolia, you can blame yourself, but don't be overwhelmed by guilt. With our arrival, everything you did in the past has indeed become a fault - but who has the right to blame you? You didn't know we were coming, did you?"

If you travel to the second dimension, you're supposed to redeem the tragedy. Otherwise, what are you doing here? Is it to make Bronya lose her mother again?

Of course not——I came here so that Bronya could sleep in her mother's arms!!

OK, both Bronya and Cocolia have been copied, the goal has been achieved, and it doesn’t matter how the plot develops next.

Cocolia closed her eyes and gasped heavily.

"Don't trust him, Cocolia."

"It's come to this point, you don't think you can turn back, do you?"

"If you stop now, wouldn't those who died because of your orders have died in vain?"

"Are you going to let their sacrifice go to waste?"

The sound of the star core kept ringing in my ears.
