After separating from Theresa, Bronya and Seele quickly returned to their dormitory.

"Then I'll go prepare dinner first. Sister Bronya, what would you like for dinner?"

"As long as Xi'er did it, it's all fine."

"Sister Bronya..."

Isn't this equivalent to letting Xier perform completely on her own?

Although it has been like this since she entered school, Xier still feels helpless about her sister's attitude. Of course, she is happier.

"Then you can go back to your room and play games first. I'll call you when I'm done."

"it is good."

Carrying her schoolbag back to her room, Bronya turned on her computer out of habit. As the computer screen lit up, a video call window suddenly popped up.

The figure of Xiachuanhu sitting on the same throne as the Millennium City appeared in the camera.

【Are you home yet? 】

"Well. Why are you hiding? I remember that you and Principal Theresa are old acquaintances, right?" Bronya sat down in front of the computer. "Why don't you come out and meet her? That will also help you get out of trouble, right?"

[She can't help me. To put it more exaggeratedly, if you on Earth want to help me, it's basically a daydream. You are the only one who still has a little hope.]

Xia Chuanhu, whose hands and feet were tied, sighed.

[As for why I didn't meet her... Of course, meeting her would cause all kinds of problems. ]

"All kinds of questions?"

[Well, although it can be summarized as a problem of interpersonal relationships, the reasons are quite complicated and you won’t understand even if I tell you.]

"Is it related to your not wanting to meet Cocolia's mother?"

【Uh... almost. 】

Xiachuanhu's voice paused.

It has only been four or five days, less than a week, since he established a spiritual connection with Bronya, but he also understood some of the things that happened after he left Earth.

First of all, it was the time he left. He originally expected to be away for no more than half a year, but now it has been almost a year, which greatly exceeded his own estimation. Of course, if it was just this matter, he didn't care much. After all, he had delayed his return before. For example, he originally said he would come back in a month, but because of various things on the road, he finally delayed his return for more than three months.

People at home were used to his behavior, so they didn't say much. At most, they would press him to the bed and force him to pay the overdue grain tax.

But, that is the situation in the Type-Moon world.

If he were in the Collapse World now, Xia Chuanhu was not sure how much resentment and anger the girls in his family would have towards him if he stayed outside for an extra half year without saying a word and without replying to any messages.

To be honest, he was not afraid of punishment, but he was a little unsure about what attitude and method he should use to face those people in his family. He couldn't just pay the public tax like he did in Chaldea, right? That would be inappropriate no matter how he thought about it, okay? Moreover, he was a chaste man in this world and had never developed any super-friendly relationships.

(Even if we want to reestablish contact, it would be best to contact Mary first.)

That’s what Xiachuan Hu thought.

As for how Vita, Bianca and the others would deal with him after he met them, Xiachuan Hu would never say anything back and would definitely accept everything they said.

[Let’s not talk about my business for now. What did Theresa ask you to do just now? I didn’t listen.]

"The principal hopes that I can join the official Valkyrie organization in advance this summer and try to complete some basic tasks." Bronya said, "Of course, it's just a temporary joining, only during the summer vacation. I still have to be promoted to the second grade to continue my classes next semester."

[So you're being asked to do an internship during the summer vacation? ]

This Xiachuan Hu is very familiar. His family Bianca also participated last year.

【This is not a good thing for you. 】

"why?"

Too early

Xia Chuanhu adjusted his sitting position, trying to make himself feel more relaxed.

[Although the average age of Valkyries is underage, in my opinion, at least they need to be 16 years old to go to the front line. Or 15 years old. If younger Valkyries go to the battlefield, their physical fitness, combat experience, and mental state are far from enough, and they are more likely to be a drag.]

[And Bronya, you are only 13 years old, right? ]

[Now is the age when you should eat and drink well and grow as much as you can. It is a good idea to use this time to lay a good foundation. No matter how outstanding your abilities are, you should not be allowed to set foot on the front line.]

This is also the reason why Xiachuanhu asked Otto to extend the Valkyrie training time.

The training time at St. Freya College is three years of basic training plus one year of internship, while the time at the headquarters is one and a half years of basic training plus half a year of internship - shorter than what Xia Chuanhu remembered.

Honestly speaking, purely from the perspective of student benefits, St. Freya College is more in line with Xia Chuanhu's wishes, and the system of the Sentence Headquarters is a bit harsh.

But under the influence of the current world situation, this is also a helpless move that has to be made, right?

Another thing Xia Chuanhu learned was the changes on Earth in the past year, or more precisely, the changes in Honkai. Basically, starting from the time he left Earth, Honkai events around the world have increased significantly in both frequency and intensity, and there was even an abnormal situation where multiple emperor-level Honkai beasts appeared in a certain area for two months.

You have to know that the strength of the Emperor-level Honkai Beast is far beyond that of the lower-level Honkai Beast. Normally, only two or three of them may appear in several months or even a year, but now they are appearing one after another like the miscellaneous soldiers of the team.

——[Collapse is born with civilization]

——[The more advanced the civilization, the more powerful the collapse]

After understanding the relevant situation, Xia Chuanhu thought of these two rules related to the collapse, and then thought of the world snake. In Xia Chuanhu's memory, the power of the world snake was not as strong as it is now, and there was no such thing as cloning Yingjie.

However, now, several heroes who should have died in the pre-civilization era are still alive. Although this has greatly improved the overall combat power of mankind, perhaps because of this, the intensity of the collapse has also increased.

Under this general trend, the quality and quantity of Valkyries must naturally keep up, so now we have to send 13-year-old first-graders like Bronya to the front line, right?

[But having said that, I think Theresa has restrained herself a lot. She should have asked for your opinion and said that she wouldn't force you if you didn't want to, right?]

"Yes."

[I know that if this happened at the Tianming headquarters, they wouldn't ask for your opinion at all. They would just tell you which branch's frontline you would report to tomorrow - what do you think? Do you want to go? Or not?]

"Bronya..."

Without giving an answer immediately, Bronya fell into deep thought.

4. Xia Chuanhu: I have no objection

St. Freya's College gives students considerable autonomy, and provides accommodation in dormitories ranging from single rooms to rooms with up to six people.

Each dormitory is equipped with an independent bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and living room - three bedrooms and one living room, which ordinary people have to work hard to buy, can be seen everywhere in St. Freya's College.

This can be considered as a special treatment that Otto gives to his granddaughter. You know, the Valkyrie Training Center at the Savior Headquarters does not have such good accommodation conditions.

Of course, due to this degree of freedom, there is no cafeteria in St. Freya's College, and every student has to learn to cook and do other housework.

Fortunately, this is not a difficult problem for Seele and Bronya, who have lived in an orphanage for many years. Although the situation in the orphanage has improved a lot in recent years, when they first joined the orphanage, the living conditions were not as good as they are now, and the children also had to do some housework within their ability, so that the two of them were able to live independently very early.

Therefore, dinner was quickly prepared by Xier.

Potato pancakes that can be eaten with ketchup, creamy mushroom stewed chicken with plenty of cheese, and freshly cooked white rice.

Having lived in Siberia for several years, the cold environment there made Bronya and Seele eat more. Even though their appetites were relatively small, they could still eat a lot compared to other students at St. Freya's College.

Not to mention, after establishing contact with Xia Chuan Hu, Xia Chuan Hu directly asked the two of them to eat more no matter what.

[You are growing up! How can you grow up to be as beautiful as your mother Cocolia if you don't eat more? Especially you, Bronya! ]

Although she didn't know why Xia Chuanhu specifically mentioned Bronya, she and Seele also knew that they should eat more at their age. In addition to growing, the energy consumed in daily training also needed a lot of replenishment, so they simply increased the portion size of the menu at home according to Xia Chuanhu's request.

[It's really rich. 】

Sitting on Bronya's shoulders, looking at the table full of dishes with quite sufficient portions, Xiachuan Hu couldn't help but sigh.

Bronya, who was eating potato pancakes, handed the half-eaten pancake to Xia Chuanhu's mouth: "Brother, do you want some?"

[I can’t eat it! ]

Xia Chuanhu sighed.

His current appearance is nothing more than an ultra-long-range projection created by his magic power, and it was only completed because of his connection with Bronya. Apart from the most basic perception ability, he has no other functions. Naturally, he can only watch the two of them eat.

Fortunately, he didn't actually need to eat, otherwise he would have been drooling now.

After all, in terms of color, aroma and taste, Xier's craftsmanship is actually very good.

"By the way, Sister Bronya."

After scooping herself a bowl of thick soup, Xier suddenly asked, "What are you going to do about what the principal said before?"

"Hmm... Bronya is still thinking about it. And if she agrees, she will definitely not be able to go home this summer - has Seele decided to go home?"

"Yes."

St. Freya College allows students to go out, but because 99% of the students here are children from various orphanages in Tianming, so if they go out, they will not go too far or for too long. At most, they will just pick two or three days to go shopping in Canghai City or something.

At other times, I still live in school, train when I need to, read when I need to, and I am very self-disciplined and obedient.

Only a very small number of people choose to leave school during the winter and summer vacations - Seele and Bronya are one of them.

The two have been studying at St. Freya's College for a year. With the end of today's test, the first-year courses have all come to an end. Tomorrow will begin a two-month summer vacation, and when school starts again, the two will be promoted to the second grade.

In the previous winter vacation, Bronya and Seele applied for a long-term trip to the orphanage in Siberia and did not return until the start of school. Seele planned to do the same this time, after all, it had been half a year since they went back. Although they both made new friends at St. Freya's Academy, they also had friends and family in the Siberian orphanage, so they had to go back.

"However, I haven't booked a return flight yet. If I want to go back... it should be tomorrow afternoon, right? I will start packing after dinner."

"Seele is really quick. Do you need Bronya's help?"

Xier smiled and shook her head: "No need, sister, just think about your own affairs. That is also very important to sister, isn't it? Of course, no matter what decision you make, Xier will support you, and I think Cocolia's mother will definitely support you."

"Thank you, Xi'er."

Bronya took another bite of the potato pancake in her hand and looked at the golden round pancake that was almost gone. She couldn't help but ponder for a while.

"...Then Xier, Bronya, go call your mother first."

"Ok."

[Remember not to shake me out]

Xia Chuanhu reminded.

Bronya just nodded slightly, then stood up and left her seat, walking towards the open-air balcony not far away to prepare to call Cocolia who was on the other side of the earth.

With a somewhat helpless sigh, Xia Chuanhu floated to Xier's side and sat down cross-legged.

Seeing this, Xier also moved her position to avoid touching Xia Chuanhu with her hands while eating, and asked at the same time: "Speaking of which, what does Brother Xia Chuan think?"

[Hmm? About Bronya?]

"Yes. If my sister wants to stay, then the only one who can accompany her is brother Xiachuan. Xier wants to know what brother Xiachuan thinks."

[I don’t have any idea]

Xia Chuanhu looked up at Xier's eyes as big as the sea.

[After all, I can do almost nothing now, and it is Bronya who makes the decision. In addition, I am a person who does not like to interfere with other people's wishes, so no matter what decision Bronya makes, I have no opinion or idea. In the end, no matter what she does now, it is correct, and no one will blame her.]

"is that so?"

Seele didn't quite understand what Xia Chuanhu meant. What did she mean by "whatever Sister Bronya does is right?" There are always right and wrong things, right?

[That's it]

[And the reverse is also true - no matter what decision Bronya makes, I will support her. Just like you.]

This is also one of the few things Xiachuanhu can do now.

.......

On the open balcony.

She took out her cell phone and dialed the specially marked number. After waiting for a while, Bronya heard a familiar voice.

[Bronya? What happened? You called me out of the blue.]

"Long time no see, Mama Cocolia."

"Bronya...I have something I want to discuss with my mother."
