After the proposal, the Valkyrie came to the door

The inspiration for the ending of "[Together We Die]" actually came from Bronya herself; more accurately, it was based on her personal experience in her previous life.

To this day, Bronya still remembers the despair she felt when facing the Herrscher of the End.

Even with the captain's help, the Herrscher of Truth's power is far less than one-tenth of the power of the End, and no one else can effectively harm the Herrscher of the End.

On the moon, everyone revealed their trump cards. Kiana returned to her peak six-core form from the Sirin era, Mei donned the God-Slaying Armor developed by the Captain with the combined efforts of Destiny and Anti-Entropy, and the class president and the headmistress directly initiated a man-made collapse...

But these can only last a negligible half-day before the Herald of the End.

Half a day later, the final meteorite fell completely.

Even though the captain detonated the Hyperion carrying the Moon Throne in time to clash with the final blow, the high-end combat power of human civilization fell one after another, and in the end only the captain and Bronya were left barely alive.

Standing on the shattered lunar battlefield, the two, both fatally wounded, leaned on each other, knowing that death would come at any moment.

Strangely enough...

At that time, although Bronya felt resentful after her defeat, she did not find death particularly terrifying.

If she died while the captain survived, the captain would definitely regret not fighting desperately at that moment, and vice versa... Therefore, being able to die together with the captain in the end, so that death could not separate the two of them, is Bronya's best ending.

Yes, that's certainly true for the past life.

The girl licked her lips, her pupils reflecting An Liang's image, and the desire in her heart was like a boulder rolling down a mountain, unstoppable.

They still haven't found the captain after all these years...

Bronya thought that after her rebirth, she would only be able to endure the pain of losing her captain and live a lonely life, but fate brought the captain back to her.

In this world where there is no Honkai, she lives, and the captain lives too...

Bronya's once lifeless heart began to stir, and she started to crave a better ending than in her previous life.

A captain always needs someone to grow old with him and spend the rest of his life with him, so why can't that person still be Bronya?

We died together in our past lives, and we are reborn together in this one!

This is the goal the girl has set for herself, and she will do anything to achieve it.

First, use a soft approach to win over the captain. If that doesn't work, then use a hard approach. In the end, even if you have to tie her up, you have to tie her up to her wedding room!

Anyway, Bronya knows exactly what the captain likes and where his sensitive spots are. It wouldn't be difficult to spend some time correcting the captain to Bronya's shape.

The girl thought to herself, her gaze seemingly able to penetrate An Liang's clothes and see the strong, muscular body hidden beneath.

Oops, why do I suddenly have this feeling of being spied on?!

An Liang shivered instinctively, feeling a chill run through his body, a cold sensation shooting from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

He rubbed the goosebumps that had risen on his arms and couldn't help but look around, but he still couldn't find the source of the sensation. In the end, he could only attribute it to the air conditioning in the studio being too strong.

"Hmm? Anliang, are you feeling a little cold?"

Bronya lowered her beautiful eyes, withdrawing her burning gaze, and gave an expression as if she knew nothing.

"There might be a slight problem, but it's not a big issue."

Anliang picked up the small blanket that Bronya had put aside and draped it over himself, immediately feeling much better.

No wonder Qingque likes to wrap herself in a small blanket when working overtime; on cold nights, only a small blanket can bring a bit of warmth.

"Let's get back to business. I think this proposal is excellent, but judging from your expression, it seems like you have some concerns?"

Anliang recalled Bronya's hesitant manner earlier and tentatively asked.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that adding an ending will increase your and Qingque's workload and extend the production cycle. It has both advantages and disadvantages for the operation of the studio."

Bronya said softly, rubbing her temples, looking somewhat troubled.

"Increased workload is indeed a problem; game delays mean a significant increase in pressure for many small studios..."

An Liang thought for a moment and then spoke up: "But some people have said that a game that doesn't get delayed isn't a good game. I think the quality of the game is more important than releasing it early!"

Even if a poorly made game is delayed, it doesn't change the fact that it's a piece of industrial garbage, while a masterpiece remains a masterpiece even if it's delayed.

"That's what I think too... but I still feel hesitant and nervous when making a decision."

Bronya sighed softly, intending to show her vulnerable side in order to get the captain to come closer.

However, an untimely cooing sound interrupted the girl's actions.

Anliang blinked in confusion, looked in the direction of the sound, and his gaze fell on Bronya's little belly, which hadn't eaten for a day.

"Ugh, that... isn't it..."

A blush of embarrassment spread across the girl's pretty face, and the panic in her beautiful eyes was no longer feigned.

She was having a great time with her plans, but then her stomach started to protest!

PS: This chapter is to make up for yesterday's leave of absence. There will be another update tonight as usual. Then I'll be thinking about the Golden Courtyard.

The protagonist is currently with Ellie, so it's inevitable that he'll come into contact with the people of the Golden Garden. Besides the immortal and Gretchen, which other members of the Golden Garden would you like to see the protagonist have more storylines with?

Chapter 49 is about a soldier's composure!

The rest area of ​​the Principles Studio.

The girl with light gray hair sat on the sofa, her hands folded over her flat stomach, her pretty face slightly flushed, her usual elegant demeanor completely gone.

Anliang, who was originally wrapped in a small blanket, was now standing in front of the snack shelf.

Anliang had taken Bronya to buy these snacks last week, and he knew all the varieties by heart, so it didn't take him long to come back with a bunch of selected snacks.

“You’ve slept all day, Bronya, you must be hungry now, right? I’m feeling a bit hungry too, let’s grab something to eat together.”

Anliang placed the snacks on the table and spoke in a way that demonstrated high emotional intelligence.

Girls naturally pay more attention to their image than boys, especially since Big Duck is his boss right now. It would indeed damage his authority if he were hungry and his stomach was growling in front of his subordinates.

However, this contrast is quite endearing.

In past reincarnations, Anliang enjoyed teasing Bronya and seeing the emotionless girl show different expressions because of him; the sense of accomplishment was simply exhilarating.

Now that the duck has become a big duck, its emotions are richer, and the girl's shy expression has become even more touching.

It's a pity he already has the world's best fairy lady, otherwise he really wanted to try being a subordinate and kissing that big duck's mouth...

An Liang had this thought in his mind, then coughed lightly and picked up a can of beef from the pile of snacks.

"Speaking of which, when you bought snacks, you also bought a lot of canned goods. There was a wide variety, including military-style ones. It felt like you could put together a decent dinner."

“Buying canned food is just Bronya’s hobby…and nothing is better for stockpiling food than canned food, it comes in many useful situations.”

The girl whispered, taking the can of beef from Anliang's hand, her thoughts drifting back to the past.

In her previous life, the captain really liked her Russian beet soup, which included canned beef. I wonder if the captain's taste has changed in this life.

Coincidentally...

Anliang was reminded of his memories of the girl in the cycle of reincarnation by Bronya's words.

He chuckled silently, then picked up a can of fruit with Houmu's image on it, nodded, and said, "I understand, canned food is a soldier's way of showing restraint!"

These words surprised the girl.

"Oh, Anliang, you know a lot about this stuff too..."

Bronya glanced at An Liang with her beautiful light gray eyes, then a slight smile appeared on her lips, as if she had become very happy.

"I don't know why, but Bronya always feels very comfortable when she's with you, as if we've known each other for a long time."

"Haha, maybe it's because we have a lot in common."

An Liang's eyelids twitched, but he said with a normal expression.

If you add up all the reincarnations, he probably knew Bronya for longer than his current physical age; you could say he was with the Valkyries since birth.

For Anliang, getting along with the Valkyries was already second nature.

However, this also makes it easy for Anliang to unintentionally reveal his familiarity with the Valkyries, just like Bronya did just now.

Fortunately, most people wouldn't guess that the world was once a recurring cocoon, and Bronya was probably just making a casual remark without actually touching on the truth...

Anliang thought to himself with a sense of relief as he opened the can of food in his hand.

"Let's eat and chat. I haven't had canned food in ages. It'll be a good opportunity to see how far canned food has come."

"Yes, Bronya is also very curious about Shenzhou's canned goods."

The girl nodded, holding the can of beef in her small hands, showing no trace of the embarrassment of being hungry earlier.

The two opened several other flavors of canned food, making up a three-course meal with a soup, while the main course was replaced with snack bread rolls.

"By the way, is this Bronya and Anra's second time having dinner together?"

Bronya tore the bread roll in half, added chunks of beef soaked in rich broth, and learned how to eat roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) without any instruction.

"Yes, both dinners were truly special experiences!"

Anliang took a sip of the soup from the canned fruit, and was served a packet of instant noodles that had been opened sometime during the day. He seemed to be enjoying it.

"But this dinner was simpler than the previous ones..."

Bronya ate in small bites, her tone somewhat embarrassed, "No matter how good the canned food is, it can't compare to a restaurant banquet. I asked you to stay, but all I can offer you is canned food."

"I don't think it's anything to worry about."

Anliang chewed on a broken piece of ramen and tilted his head to look at the girl: "More important than what you eat for dinner is the person you eat with, right?"

As the heir to the Great Duck Entropy, countless people would love to be invited but couldn't get a chance!

But the girl was sitting right next to him, having shed her aloofness towards strangers, happily eating canned food...

There probably wasn't any other man who could witness this scene besides him.

"So... do you enjoy having dinner with Bronya?"

Bronya asked earnestly, seemingly unaware that her statement was somewhat ambiguous.

An Liang keenly noticed it, but considering the context, he didn't think too much of it.

Who wouldn't enjoy having dinner with a beautiful, generous, and capable female boss?

An Liang blinked and said with a smile, "If there is another opportunity like this in the future, please be sure to let me try more flavors of canned food."

"No matter how much Anliang says nice things, Bronya won't give you a raise."

The girl gave a soft hum, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents. "However, Bronya is still happy to share her favorite canned food with her friends."

"Oh, how about we try some canned herring next time?"

"Although Bronya treats all canned goods equally, biological weapons are prohibited from being brought into the workshop!"

The girl and Anliang chatted very happily, and the opened cans of food and snacks were quickly devoured by the two of them while they were talking and laughing.

Clean up the trash after you finish eating...

Bronya sat back down on the sofa and smiled slightly at the man beside her.

"Thank you, Anliang."

The girl spoke softly, her voice as gentle as a slowly falling snowflake.

"Thank you for taking care of me, and thank you for sharing canned food with me... I rarely get this close to boys, but because of you, Bronya feels very happy today, and the pressure doesn't seem so great."

"No need to thank me. It's only right for employees to help their boss solve problems. Besides, as you said, we're friends."

An Liang waved his hand, leaned back on the sofa, and said jokingly, "If you really want to thank me, just don't forget to send me overtime pay."

PS: I had some writer's block, mainly because I wasn't quite sure how hard I could handle the main character's advances. Sigh, that's what happens when you're inexperienced. Fortunately, after some research, I finally solved the problem, and I should be able to update earlier tomorrow!

Chapter 50 I can do anything!

"Bronya isn't some heartless boss; she'll definitely pay you well for overtime."

The girl with light gray hair rolled her eyes at An Liang, then, as if she had thought of something, a meaningful smile appeared on her pretty face.

"Speaking of which, Anliang, you've mentioned overtime pay more than once, and you even mentioned in casual conversation that you don't have much savings..."

"Bronya, could you interpret this as you being short of money lately?"
