Collapse, I save everything alone

As for the subsequent interrogation of Watt, let's leave it to Theresa, the leader of the Far East branch.

Then Mingyu came to Mei and Bronya again, picked up Mei first, and temporarily let her lean against a tree near the beach.

The purple-haired girl still had her eyes closed and was breathing quietly.

Hmm... Mei has been drugged by Bronya, so she probably won't be able to wake up in the short term...

If Bronya hadn't done this, he wouldn't have had to do anything in this incident. After all, the artificial First Herrscher could never be a match for the Lady Herrscher in Mei's body.

——In the story he is experiencing now, Mei does not have a bomb installed in her heart to detect the strength of Honkai energy like in the original timeline, so when necessary, the other self in her body can fully release all her power.

The reason was probably because they had avoided the battle between Aunt Jizi and Sister Lei Lu in Changkong City before, so Theresa and the others had no intention of using bombs to prevent the Third Herrscher from going berserk.

And then there's Bronya...

Mingyu ran back and picked up the unconscious silver-haired girl.

Compared to Mei, petite Bronya is a lot lighter, and holding her in her arms feels as light as holding a ball of cotton.

The girl was leaned against the tree trunk by the same method. Mingyu was about to get up when a small hand suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

"Ok?"

Mingyu turned around and saw Bronya staring at him with her gray eyes.

"Bronya, you're awake."

Mingyu said with a low laugh.

She didn't drink any medicine with safety effects, she just fell asleep after being attacked, so it was normal that she didn't fall into a deep sleep like Mei.

Given Bronya's physical condition, this amount of time is more than enough for her to wake up from her coma.

"..."

Bronya's lips opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

But all the words ended up being just a thank you:

"……Thank you."

She was about to make an irreparable mistake.

"Nothing, it's my duty to save the lost girl."

Mingyu said jokingly when he saw that she had regained consciousness.

"Mingyu, you..."

Bronya said hesitantly.

In her opinion, this boy who entered St. Freya Academy with the three of them was a rather mysterious person.

At first, when I first saw him in Changkong City, he looked like just an ordinary person;

After entering St. Freya Academy with the three of them, when fighting with Class Leader Fu Hua, the strength he showed was not much better than hers;

And now, he has defeated the guy who called himself Joyce, against whom his attacks were completely ineffective.

He must have hidden his identity... For example, maybe he, like himself, is a "spy" sent into the Destiny by a mysterious organization?

Bronya felt that this conjecture was very likely to be correct.

Maybe the mysterious woman with donkey ears who came to him in Changkong City before was from the same organization as Mingyu.

Thinking of this, Bronya simply spoke frankly and asked directly:

"Mingyu, you and that woman with donkey ears...are from the same organization?"

“Donkey ears?”

Ming Yu was confused at first, but then he thought that if one didn't look closely, Yaezakura's fox ears could indeed be mistaken for something belonging to another god...

He nodded unabashedly and said:

"You can understand that."

The fact that there is a non-existent organization that makes Bronya believe this can make her feel more at ease.

Sure enough, the silver-haired girl pursed her lips slightly and asked in a low voice:

"You...you guys, do you really have a way to find Xi'er?"

"Like I said before, it's my job to save lost girls, so I'll help you find Xi'er."

Mingyu responded with a smile.

In a sense, the girl who was stranded in the quantum sea was indeed a truly lost girl.

"I won't tell Theresa and the others about you drugging Mei this time, but I also need you to make a choice. I need you to completely betray Cocolia."

"...Bronya understands."

The silver-haired girl nodded slightly.

As long as she can get Xier back, she is willing to do anything.

The one who made Seele disappear from this world was Cocolia, whom she had always respected. But if she was just lying to herself and working for her...

Then naturally there was no need for her to continue to obey Cocolia's orders.

"Akiha! Mei! Bronya!"

A voice full of vitality suddenly came from the direction of the woods. It was Kiana who came here with Fu Hua and others.

"Huh...Okay, let's go back first."

Mingyu extended his hand toward the silver-haired girl sitting on the ground.

After a slight hesitation, Bronya placed her hand on him and, with the help of his strength, managed to stand up.

Chapter 52: The Sudden Cohabitation Incident

The next day.

Because of the impact of the anti-entropy invasion, Theresa gave these students who were affected or involved in the incident a short vacation to recuperate and rest.

Mingyu, as the student who defeated the invader Watt, naturally spent a day accompanying the principal to go through the process of interrogating Watt and explaining what happened to her.

Of course, this time, Watt was the only intruder captured.

In other words, he was the only real invader. After all, his mission was to capture the Third Herrscher alive.

If Mingyu remembered correctly, the invaders who invaded the underground area of ​​the Central Cathedral should be Cocolia and Dr. Einstein. However, they did not invade in person, but invaded remotely using special means.

Their real purpose was not to get anything from the Destiny database, but to lure Theresa to the scene under the guise of invasion and then conduct some private transactions with her.

For example... resisting Otto's deal.

"Phew... finally done."

It was late in the evening when Mingyu came out of Theresa's office.

As he walked towards the dormitory, he was thinking about what to do next.

Right now, there is an unavoidable issue that needs to be dealt with regarding Bronya.

- Even though she may have begun to resist Cocolia psychologically and no longer intends to work for her, a biochip to control Bronya's actions is still implanted in the girl's mind.

As a girl weapon created by Cocolia's Valkyrie project, Bronya has no personal freedom when necessary.

If we follow the original timeline, we have to wait until the Wendy incident is over. Bronya, who does not want to hurt her companions, takes the initiative to overload and burn the biochip in her head and falls into near-death. Only then can she break free from Cocolia's constraints and start her own life.

However, everything in the future may not develop according to the original timeline. Mingyu plans to find a way to deal with the biochip in Bronya's head in advance.

Theoretically, relying on his ability to manipulate electromagnetics, he might be able to destroy the chip in her brain without surgery, but the risk of doing so was too great. If he was not careful, it could cause irreversible damage to her brain.

Although you can rely on backtracking to constantly adjust and try, the impact on the brain may not be seen in the short term, so it is better to choose a more reliable method.

All he could think of at the moment was to rely on the power of Yaezakura or Jizo's soul.

As the king of data, the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion is always quite useful in this regard, and handling a small biological chip is naturally a piece of cake.

However, the cherry-colored priestess has not yet mastered the power of erosion, and Feiyukumaru has not yet been subdued, so there is no way to use its power for the time being.

Well, is there any other way...

While thinking about the follow-up arrangements, Mingyu walked back to his dormitory and soon arrived at the door.

When I opened the door, I heard a noise coming from the direction of the living room that shouldn't belong here.

"...?"

Mingyu looked up at the house number and found that he was in the right place.

Afterwards, he came to the living room and saw two girls who could be considered uninvited guests.

Kiana was kneeling on the ground, staring at the TV in front of her, holding the handle in her hand, fighting fiercely with the enemy in the game, and seemed to have not noticed his arrival at all.

Bronya was sitting on the sofa, looking at Yae Sakura who had turned into a little fox, and seemed to be thinking about something.

The sound of cooking coming from the kitchen also indicated that the last remaining purple-haired girl was here.

Although these girls are very cute, Mingyu also welcomes them to visit his dormitory, but at the moment, there is a more important issue -

Ming Yu glanced at the three suitcases of different shapes piled in the corner of the living room and couldn't help asking:

"Why... did you three come to my dormitory?"

Obviously, they came prepared and didn't look like they were just here to have fun.

Kiana happened to have lost the game and put down the controller. Upon hearing this, she rolled her eyes at him and replied as a matter of course:

"Because our dormitory was destroyed by that intruder!"

The damage caused by Watt's invasion and the fierce battle between him and Bronya in the dormitory has made their dormitory temporarily uninhabitable.

Although Theresa has arranged for a construction team to repair it, it will not be completed in a few days.

So, they, who were temporarily homeless, ended up here.

"I understand the reason, so why are you coming to my dormitory...?"

The area of ​​St. Freya Academy is actually seriously inconsistent with the number of students it accommodates, so there are quite a few vacant dormitories. It is not difficult to find a vacant villa for these three girls.

"Why, are you so unhappy about letting me live here?"

Hearing that Mingyu seemed a little unhappy, Kiana stood up, put her hands on her hips and questioned.

"It's not that I'm not happy..."

Mingyu coughed lightly and said:

"At least inform me in advance."

At least let him clean up and prepare the room... After all, there is another Yaesakura who is temporarily staying here.

Fortunately, judging from the scene where they and the little fox live in harmony, Yae Sakura's existence should not have been discovered by them yet. The excuse of the little fox that was used to fool Mei last time can still be used for the time being.

"I just wanted to give you a surprise, and haven't you been helping your aunt all day?"

Kiana replied with a pout.

"… Mei-nee and Bronya asked the principal for the application."

The silver-haired girl at the side finally silently added the real reason.

Originally, Theresa did want to arrange a vacant new dormitory for them, but at Bronya's initiative, they finally decided to move here.

Mei naturally had no objection to this; rather, she would agree with it quite a bit.

As for Bronya herself, she also has her own reasons:

He promised to find Xier, and now he is the only life-saving straw in her eyes.

It would probably be better to keep a closer distance. Maybe she could do something, although she didn't know what she could do now.

Since two of the three people voted in favor, Kiana, the remaining one, naturally agreed as well.

As Theresa said, moving closer would be a good opportunity to help her with her terrible schoolwork.

As for Sister Ji Zi, she has temporarily moved in with Fu Hua.

——The reason why they didn’t move in together, in her words, was “to leave some private space for young people.”
