Ruan Mei begged me to go back? I can't go back anymore

In the core hub area, the petite Clara sat on Swarovski's shoulders.

The two stayed in the distance, silently watching Hayami and the others board the manned shaft and rise into the world of the upper zone.

Only after the shaft completely disappeared into the thick rock wall did the man and the machine withdrew their gaze.

Clara seemed a little lost, and her expression gradually became lonely.

Fortunately, Swarovski is a robot and does not have any unnecessary facial expression functions.

Otherwise, its expression at this moment would definitely be much more sour than anyone could imagine.

As an "old father", he had just witnessed Clara handing the letter with heart-shaped wax printed on it to Hayami!

pain!It hurts so much!

I originally thought that it would take at least ten years before I would be able to face such a situation.

But who would have thought that the existence of early fog would greatly accelerate the arrival of this event.

Swarovski has been a robot for hundreds of years, but he has only been Clara's parent for a few years.

There is no solution to this problem in its information database.

Swarovski gave up thinking, foreboding that if he continued thinking, the system would crash and restart due to insufficient computing power.

Well, let the children solve their own problems.

In the final analysis, adults only play the role of a guide.

Ultimately, it is up to Hayami and Clara to choose and walk their own path in the future.

Because of his encounter with Clara, Swarlow's emotional module is constantly being used and upgraded.

Until now, it really looks more and more like a human being.

At the same time, in the slowly rising manned shaft.

Zao Wu sat in the corner of the huge space and slowly unfolded the letter that Clara wrote to her.

Just as he guessed, the content written in the childish and cute handwriting had nothing to do with confession or love, but only with the wishes of an innocent child.

Clara used her childish writing style to describe her life in the lower class area.

Pick up scrap parts, repair robots, take care of sick homeless people, play games with Hook, and hang out with Mr. Swarlow.

She hopes Hayami can understand her better.

Likewise, she also hopes to understand Hayami.

So, at the end of the letter, she mustered up the courage to make that request.

——Hayagiri, can you be my...friend?

The petite girl didn't have the natural affinity that the dark Lord Hook had.

She was a shy child, and it might be difficult for her and Hayami to have a complete conversation for a long time when they were alone.

But she also hopes to become friends with Hayami.

And it was her initiative, just like when Hook opened her heart and became her friend.

So writing letters became the most suitable way for her.

As for the heart-shaped wax…

The children in the lower area all search for useful supplies from the ruins. It’s good enough if they can use them, so who cares about so much else?

It is said that the blue-haired uncle also has a pair of shorts with strawberries printed on them.

After reading the letter, Zao Wu's lips curled up slightly.

He murmured in a very light tone.

"But aren't we already friends, Clara?"

Finally, he carefully put the letter away and placed it in his space bag.

In less than half a minute, the manned shaft should be rising to the upper area.

Everyone present became nervous and summoned their weapons.

That's because the order issued by the Grand Guardian to block the upper and lower areas has not been lifted.

So when the Silver Mane Guards stationed above the shaft discovered that what the shaft sent up was not earth marrow ore, but a large group of illegal invaders.

One can imagine how they will treat Hayami and others.

The Silver Mane Iron Guard's production corps will quickly gather soldiers and vow to avenge the last humiliation from San Yue Qi, Dan Heng and Xing.

They will show no mercy to others.

However, under this serious situation, Xing is as excited as ever.

"My stick is not bad at all!"

Sanyueqi and Danheng looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

But now that things have come to this, can they still return the goods to the Black Tower Space Station?

The last five seconds before the shaft stops.

Bronya took the lead and came in front of everyone.

"Everyone, prepare to break out!"

Although Xier was somewhat indignant at this guy's behavior of acting as a leader without authorization.

No matter how you think about it, this position should be reserved for Hayami!

But what she reminded was correct.

Prepare to break out!

Instead of killing the enemy.

The Silvermane Guard are nothing more than a force deceived by the Great Guardian.

Three, two, one!

"boom!"

The shaft is open.

Everyone rushed out!

Even Hayami was no exception, and he took out the forty swords that Jizi's mother had given him... in short, it was a very long flaming red sword.

But the expected sounds of fighting and weapons clashing did not occur.

On the contrary, what everyone faced was a deserted military camp!

No, they have reached the upper area. Where are the Silver Mane Guards?

Oh, it’s not that there’s no one there.

Only an old and hoary Silver Mane Iron Guard logistics officer was left behind to manage the transportation of supplies.

At this moment, in front of Xing holding a fierce stick, he was so frightened that his legs were trembling and his whole body was shaking like a sieve. He couldn't even shout for help.

Because he knew that it would be useless to shout.

Although Xing really wants to release her desire for destruction, she is still a person who respects the elderly and loves the young.

So she really couldn't bring herself to do anything to the old man in front of her.

Bronya stood up at this time and called out quickly.

"Ms. Xing! Please don't be impulsive. Let me ask him what happened!"

The old man heard the familiar voice and looked over in surprise.

Who did he see!?

Commander Bronya?

The reason why I add a question mark is that I dare not confirm it immediately.

It’s because Bronya’s current outfit is different from before.

She...her pantyhose disappeared for some reason, but fortunately, she was covered by her skirt and high boots, so it wasn't too revealing.

But pantyhose are the symbol of Bronya-sama.

Is Bronya still Bronya without her pantyhose?

Or maybe the pantyhose is Bronya-sama's true form...

This question is too philosophical and it is not something that Lao Deng, who only knows how to eat and wait for death, can figure out.

In short, after ensuring his own safety, he excitedly introduced his identity to Bronya.

"Your Highness Bronya! My name is Gilbert, and I'm the logistics officer of the Silver Mane Guard!"

"Thank you, City Builder, and thank you, Krip! We finally found you!"

"Lord Kokolia has recalled the entire corps stationed here to the city of Beloberg because of your disappearance. They will dig deep into the ground to find you."

"Who would have thought that you would come out from underground..."

"I'm the first soldier to find you!"

"Can this be considered a military achievement? An honor?"

"Could you please, Great Guardian, also give me a medal of war merit!?"

For some reason, this old man named Gilbert seemed to be very obsessed with and eager for war medals.

After hearing his words, Bronya couldn't help but fall into a trance.

Mother, for her own sake...

But will this kind of thing really not cause a backlash from the lower-level public opinion in Beloberg?

How could the Great Guardian abuse his power for personal gain!

Or does it mean that the degree to which my mother cares about me far exceeds her own reputation and prestige?

Moved by this, she responded to Gilbert's expectations with her own actions.

The girl stretched out her slender legs and quickly came in front of the old man.

Old Gilbert wanted to kneel down and bow before her.

She was quickly helped up.

"You don't have to do this to me, old man."

"As for the battle medal you need...how about this one?"

As she spoke, Bronya took off an ordinary Iron Guard badge from her uniform and handed it to Gilbert.

If she wanted, she could hang similar badges and medals all over her body.

Gilbert's love for the tomb

He seemed to have suddenly become ten years younger.

"Thank you, Lady Bronya!"

"I will definitely return the medal to you in the future!"

"..."

What a strange old man, he needed the badge, but after getting it he wanted it back.

I don't understand what he wants to do.

If it were any other time, perhaps Bronya would have the leisure to learn the story behind the old man.

But now, she must quickly return to Beloberg and be with her mother!

So she said goodbye to the old man, and led everyone except Xing, who were thankful to have avoided a battle, and hurried to Beloberg.

Bronya's eyes became brighter than ever before, as bright as morning stars.

She thought, if she could just go back to Belloburg.

Then everything will be fine!
