(No, if Dad knew we were still leaving the house after the curfew...)
"Isn't it enough to not be discovered? You are just too obedient. There is nothing wrong with being a bad boy occasionally. A father shouldn't be so tolerant as to be so tolerant, right? When I was in Fuyuki City with a group of little guys, my father also scolded me and cleaned up my mess at the same time."
(But......)
[Don't worry~~~ I'm here, I guarantee that not a single hair will fall out of your body. Don't you know how powerful I am? Besides, it's just an investigation. At most, I can use our power to cooperate with Xiao Budian to investigate. When I really need my help, I will take action. Is this okay? ]
(Hmm... that doesn't sound like a problem.)
【It’s a deal then! 】
Turning his attention back to Bronya, Mordred said, "Little one, Mei and I have agreed that we will help investigate this matter. Although we can only use the power of the Raiden family and the ME company to mobilize some investigators, it will still be of some use."
"If there's any danger that can't be dealt with, I'll take action!"
"Well......"
This time it was Bronya's turn to be conflicted and hesitant - Mei Raiden had entrusted her with a task, and not only had she not yet completed it, she now even needed someone else to help her do it.
No matter how you think about it, this isn't quite appropriate, is it?
After all, it was a bit...
"Oh, oh, little one, let me ask you something."
Mordred interrupted Bronya's thoughts: "Where is my father? Why haven't I seen him recently? Every time I come to the store, I only see you and can't feel my father's presence at all. Is he not here? Is he sleeping all the time?"
"...Bronya doesn't know."
After a moment of silence, Bronya shook her head gently: "Since half a month ago, Bronya has been unable to contact my brother. I have no idea where my brother is now or what he is doing."
"Ah this..."
Hearing this, Mordred couldn't help but touch the back of his head:
"Father...he's been doing this for years, isn't he tired of it yet?"
33. Call upon the name of God with sincerity
Not tired of playing yet?
Mordred's words made Bronya tilt her head cutely: "Mei... No, what do you mean, little sister Mo?"
"It happens all the time. My father disappears without a word. I don't know how many times it has happened before." Mordred laughed, "And once my father disappears, it means that he must have gone somewhere to solve a crisis that may endanger the world. Basically, he will come back on his own after a while."
"So.....um, wait, that's not right?"
Halfway through his speech, Mordred suddenly overturned his previous inference: "Shouldn't my father be trapped in that world bubble now? Besides, there is no restraint here that can capture him as a man... How could he disappear?"
Mordred knew his father well. Although he would disappear from time to time and often went on business trips to other places, it could also be said that he would basically not run around unless he was conscripted into the army.
If Mordred remembered correctly, Xia Chuanhu had been free for about two months. During those two months, he confined his activities to a small town in the Mediterranean region. Every day, except for going to the supermarket to buy groceries, he stayed in the game house that he had bought at some unknown time, playing games for two whole months.
It wasn't until the old gem man from the clock tower showed up and pulled him out.
This is enough to show how self-disciplined and content he would be once he was out of work. As long as the world was at peace, he could be idle forever. But now he was trapped in a bubble, so he should be doing nothing. How come he couldn't be contacted all of a sudden?
Could it be that something happened to his original body in that world bubble?
(No, this is the only thing that is impossible!)
Mordred directly rejected this idea of his.
There are several things in this world that are absolutely impossible to happen, one of which is the death of Natsukawa Tora - he was a man who could be resurrected even if he was cut into small pieces. Even if it is the Mystic Eyes of Death, it cannot kill him unless it directly pokes the "spot" that symbolizes death.
How could a man like Xia Chuanhu possibly encounter something so serious that he had to disconnect?
"...Have you ever tried to contact your father, little one?"
"Not recently."
Bronya shook her head: "Because there has been no need to contact my brother recently, Bronya has not taken the initiative to contact my brother."
Not to mention the recent period, since the contract was signed, almost all the communication was initiated by Xia Chuanhu, and Bronya could count the number of times she contacted him on one hand. After all, as she said herself, there was really no place where Xia Chuanhu was needed, not to mention that Xia Chuanhu could only provide very limited help now.
"Um......."
Mordred fell into deep thought.
And suddenly——
"Mei~~~!"
Kallen's voice was heard outside the door, and it sounded like it came from the stairs on the first floor.
"Sakura and I have finished drinking! Haven't you used the bathroom yet? Let's get ready to go~~~!"
(Xiao Mo!)
[Okay, okay~~~]
Mordred closed his eyes and reluctantly returned his body to Raiden Mei. After regaining control of her body, Raiden Mei immediately stood up and walked to the corridor outside the door: "I'm almost done, I'll be right there, just one minute!"
"it is good!"
Hearing Kallen's response, Mei Raiden breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Bronya: "Let's stop here for now, Bronya, I have to go down first - Yuno's matter is the same as we agreed just now, please continue to investigate, and I will help as much as possible."
"Also, here is my phone number and email address. You can add it later and contact me on your phone or computer when the time comes."
After quickly writing down her cell phone number and email address on the sticky note she carried with her, Mei Raiden walked out of the room.
And soon after, Bronya heard the sound coming from downstairs.
"I'm sorry, Miss Kallen, Mr. Palace Administrator, for keeping you waiting. I'll pay the bill."
"No need, I've already paid~~~"
"I'm really sorry for making Miss Karen spend so much money."
"It's okay, it's okay~~~~ Let's go, today's shopping has just begun!"
......
Coming to the window of her room, Bronya glanced at the three people who had walked out of the coffee shop below, and then started adding the number and email address left by Raiden Mei on her mobile phone.
【Hey, little one! 】
Suddenly, Mordred's figure suddenly flew up from the window. Bronya was slightly frightened and her body shook rapidly.
".....Sister Xiao Mo? What's wrong?"
[Of course it’s about my father, I haven’t finished yet! ]
Mordred said.
[But there's actually nothing to say - find some time recently to calm down and call out your father's name in your heart.]
"Eh?"
[My father was once a god. Although he regarded that experience as a dark history and even demolished and hid the temples, statues and even myths related to him, he is indeed a god. Therefore, if a priestess with sufficient skills, or a person with a particularly good affinity, prays and calls sincerely, there is still a chance that he can sense my father.]
[Of course, it's just a probability. After all, since ancient times, only gods have contacted humans. There is no such thing as gods answering the phone just because humans make a random call - the same goes for my father.]
"So... there's still a chance to contact my brother?"
[At best, it is just a possibility. I will let Mei try it later. However, the gods always favor those who have a predestined relationship with them. Since you have already made a contract with your father, your success rate will definitely be higher. Anyway, you can try it when you have time later. It won't bring you any bad effects.]
[If I can't even call you back, then I can only temporarily assume that something has happened to my father.]
After saying that, Mordred turned into a stream of light and chased after Raiden Mei and the other two who had already walked far away.
Bronya, who stayed where she was, stared at the horizon in a trance, as if she was in deep thought.
Until a while later——
"Bronya, what are you doing? Come down to work... Eh? Thinker?"
Lin, who came up to check on Bronya because she hadn't come downstairs, looked at Bronya, who was lying there like a Rodin sculpture, and his eyes were wide open with surprise for a moment.
——Then he quickly took a photo.
34. Just think of it as Xi'er
After that, the whole day's work was over quickly.
Time flies and it is evening as the four members of the coffee team are working.
"Then I'll go out and investigate."
After dinner, Yuno packed up her equipment and looked at Bronya and the other two sitting in the store: "If I come back late, you can go to bed first, and you don't have to leave the door open for me."
"Got it, Nami, you should be careful too."
"It's just to find a good place to work. It's not difficult."
After waving to her captain, Nami closed the door and left the coffee shop.
After watching Nami disappear in the crowd through the window, Lin and Lily also stood up. Seeing this, Bronya couldn't help but ask, "Captain and Lily are going out too? For night patrol?"
"I guess so. On the one hand, it's also a good way to go out for a walk."
"Bronya, you don't have to come along. No matter what, someone has to stay to look after the store~~~" Lily smiled and touched Bronya's head, "When we're not here, Bronya, you have to look after the store~~~ But now we're closed and don't need to receive customers - if you're afraid of being lonely, just watch TV or play games. The game console is in the cabinet over there."
Lily pointed to the kitchen as she spoke.
But Lin immediately slapped her on the head with a knife: "Let's go~~~ If you feel sleepy, you can go to bed early, Bronya."
"Hey~~~ I was thinking about coming back and connecting with Bronya after the patrol~~~"
"Let's talk about it when we have a day off."
Pulling Lily by the back of her collar, Lin half-dragged and half-pulled Lily out of the store.
There were originally four people in the shop, but suddenly Bronya was the only one left, and the atmosphere instantly became much quieter.
However, Bronya did not feel anything special about this cold emotion. After all, she had experienced similar situations before. For example, when she was in St. Freya's College, because Seele sometimes went out for tutoring on weekends, Bronya usually stayed alone on weekends.
She had long been accustomed to being alone.
However......
"Brother is still silent."
Since the contract with Natsukawa Tora, Bronya has never been alone again, because Natsukawa Tora will often show up when Bronya is alone, chat with her about random things, and spend time with her until Seele comes back from get out of class.
Although Bronya had no interest in what Xiachuan Hu said, she was not dissatisfied with having someone to talk to.
but now......
"Dingling bell~~~"
Suddenly, Bronya's cell phone rang. After taking it out of her apron pocket and taking a look at it, Bronya couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
[Xi'er: Sister, are you asleep? I wonder if I disturbed you.]
Looking at the text message sent by Seele, Bronya quickly tapped the screen a few times.
[Bronya: No, Bronya just finished her internship today and is taking a break now. What's up? Seele]
[Seele: Nothing, I just suddenly felt like talking to Sister Bronya. After all, you are alone in the Far East now, so you must feel lonely.]
Lonely?
It’s okay during the day, but now... it seems a bit...
only--
[Bronya: No, I don't feel lonely when I can talk to Seele. By the way, how are you doing over there, Seele?]
[Xi'er: I just coaxed the kids to sleep with Xing, and I'm getting ready to take a bath now]
[Bronya: I see. Then go take a shower quickly. We’ll talk after you’re done.]
[Xi'er: Okay. By the way, can you also invite your brother? It feels like I haven't seen him for a while. Do you and your brother get along well? ]
Seeing the message sent by Seele, Bronya's fingers that wanted to respond suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the slightly raised arc at the corners of her mouth also sank a little. After a while, she typed out a line of response.
[Bronya: Yeah, it's okay. It's just that my brother hasn't been out much lately. He said he didn't encounter anything interesting, so he just went to sleep.]
[Bronya: I don’t know if he will come out if I call him this time]
[Xi'er: My brother is also a person who likes to be lively. Then, sister, I'm going to the bathhouse. Let's talk later.]
After sending this message, Xier’s profile picture dimmed, and it seemed that she was temporarily offline.
