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

"Lady Bronya, are you... okay?"

Bronya glanced at Jeppard with a bleak look in her eyes, and then she tried hard to cheer herself up and lied.

"I'm fine... Thank you for your hard work in resisting the cracks inside Beloberg, Jeppard."

"That's my job. That's what my shield is for."

Bronya looked dazed and bewildered when she heard this.

If Jeppard's shield was born for protection.

Then, for whom are you raising your rifle?

For his adoptive mother who... attempted a crime?

In order to repay her for raising me, I can only watch her make one mistake after another?

Deep in the girl's heart, something that she had insisted on and even believed in in the past was beginning to crack.

Perhaps last night's experience will become an important node for the girl to move towards maturity and embrace her own growth.

Looking at Commander Bronya's appearance, Jeppard couldn't help but think of his own troubles.

About how her sister is a terrible woman who is "interested" in young boys.

If I tell this to Commander Bronya, she will probably just be surprised.

It is simply impossible to imagine and understand.

In the end, Jeppard had to bear this kind of trouble alone.

Sometimes Jeppard couldn't help but wonder.

It would be great if my sister Shiluwa could be more mature, dignified and reliable like the great guardian Cocolia.

Jeppard and Bronya parted ways after a brief meeting.

Just at this moment, a young Silver Mane Iron Guard suddenly came to the front of Guard Officer Jeppard, saluted him and reported.

"Report to Lord Jeppard, the Great Guardian invites you to come to Klipperburg for a chat!"

Upon hearing this, Jeppard immediately agreed.

"I understand. I will go see the Great Guardian now."

A moment later, inside Klipperburg.

Cocolia seemed unaffected by what happened last night.

She returned to her former cool and dignified self.

Still high and mighty, still noble and elegant.

Jeppard came before her, saluted respectfully, and waited for the Great Guardian to give him his mission.

But Jeppard never expected that Lord Kokolia's order would be...

——"I order you to immediately capture the infiltrator who intends to start a rebellion!"

——"They are the aliens from outer space: Sanyueqi, Danheng, Xing, and... Zaowu!"

Chapter 5: Cocolia, you are really "hungry"! The appearance of Hanabi! (k)

When mentioning the name "Zao Wu", Cocolia's tone softened.

After thinking for a while, she added another sentence.

"Capture him alive while trying not to harm Hayami."

"..."

Jeppard was silent for a while, until the Great Guardian of Cocolia cast a stern look at him.

The man then felt a slight chill on his back and agreed.

"Yes, Master Cocolia."

Jeppard couldn't understand why it happened in just one night.

The attitude of the great guardian, who had originally established a friendly and cooperative relationship with the aliens, changed 180 degrees.

Intent to start a rebellion... Such a serious crime.

But as a subject of the Great Guardian, as a member of the Silver Mane Guards guarding Beloberg.

Even though Jeppard had a good impression of Zao Wu and the others he met yesterday, he would never bend the law for personal gain.

I hope it's a misunderstanding.

But even if they want to clear up the misunderstanding, they must first be brought before the Great Guardian.

Jeppard stood up and clenched his fist quietly as if he had made up his mind. His deep blue eyes gradually showed determination.

He turned and walked away, his blue cape fluttering behind him.

It was not until Jeppard left Klipperburg that Cocolia slowly withdrew her gaze.

"..."

In silence, the woman sighed deeply.

If the accident last night hadn't happened.

Perhaps now Zao Wu has already realized the beauty of being a mature woman.

And then agreed to become your king?

Then, Beloberg will be saved, and everyone will be reborn in a beautiful new world.

But why...

It happened at that time.

Are you going to bother yourself, Bronya?

When she thought of her daughter in the empty space, Cocolia instantly lost the dignity she had just shown in front of Jeppard.

She even showed a vulnerability that she would never show in front of others.

The blonde's shoulders began to shake and she raised her hands to cover her face.

No matter how calm and shameless Cocolia pretends to be in front of others.

It is also difficult to stop the strong sense of shame and deep guilt that arises deep in my heart.

I'm sorry, Bronya...

I'm sorry, my daughter...

Let you see such an unbearable scene of your mother.

From the moment she chose to adopt Bronya from the orphanage, Cocolia vowed to raise her well and to protect her smile.

This is exactly what Cocolia has been doing all along.

She was like an incompetent parent, worrying about the livelihood and survival of the Beloberg family.

At the same time, he is concerned about the small family formed because of Bronya's existence.

She once poured all her energy and efforts into Beloberg and Bronya.

To the point of completely neglecting one's own needs.

If this is done, Beloberg can be saved and Bronya can be raised into a good adult.

Cocolia will not regret her sacrifice in the slightest!

But reality gave her a head-on blow!

When she learned that the cold wave and the rift were actually born because the star core responded to the wishes of the first great guardian Alisa Rand and all the Beloberg people at that time.

Cocolia's determination to protect her was already shaky and about to collapse!

What...it turns out that he was the one who saved Beloberg from the war with the Antimatter Legion.

He is not the "first great guardian" or "the one who caused miracles" at all.

But it is the star core that is considered taboo by the great guardians of all generations!

It turns out that since then, a blizzard has swept across the entire planet for seven hundred years.

It was actually the devil that was released from the magic box by Beloberg himself!

So what exactly are you protecting?

Why is even Star Core willing to respond to Beloberg!

But Clipper, as a star god, you are unwilling to spare an ounce of your strength to save the thousands of subjects who believe in you on this land!

The reappearance of the voice of the star core became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Cocolia.

It was also the final blow that shattered her protective heart.

For Cocolia.

On one side, even if she gave everything, it was difficult to stop the coming of the blizzard and the erosion of the rift. Beloberg was destined to fall, and she could not even protect her own daughter.

On the other side, there is the "beautiful world" promised by the star core.

In that world, she can put aside all her responsibilities and just enjoy herself as a woman and make up for her lost youth.

Comparing the two, isn't it obvious which side Cocolia will choose?

I'm sorry... Bronya.

But mom, I’m really hungry.

Cocolia has been patient for so many years and has accumulated countless desires.

It must be on her destined king...

Is it okay to vent it out?

………………

Bello Berg, the inn with no name.

The room, which was not spacious to begin with, became even more crowded because of the addition of three single beds.

But the problem is that among the three single beds, only Danheng used one of them in the end.

As for these two guys, Sanyueqi and Xing...

I don't know when I moved to Zao Wu's bed.

The two girls, one on the left and one on the right, held Zaowu tightly in their arms, as if they were guarding something precious, and then they responded to the tiredness contentedly and fell into a deep sleep.

No wonder Hayami kept dreaming that she was tightly entangled by the tentacles of a giant octopus.

He couldn't break free and breathing became difficult.

But for some reason, there was a reassuring smell beside me.

It's the body scent of Sister Sanyueqi and Sister Xing...

In the end, Hayami chose to give up thinking, since the giant octopus didn't seem to have any intention of eating him anyway.

Rather, after getting used to it, I found it soft and quite comfortable.

The boy slept like this until dawn.

Until a chill came over me.

Wake up the morning fog from his dream.

"Huh...huh..."

The young man was breathing heavily, and a thin layer of sweat seeped out of his face, which was as white and flawless as precious oriental porcelain. The shining light in the early morning sun made people's heart beat faster.

Sanyueqi and Xing, who woke up a while earlier, were admiring Zaowu's beautiful sleeping face from the left and right according to the peace agreement.

I am even more excited at this moment.

If this happened in a game, the words "Charmed" would surely appear above the two girls' heads at this moment.

That is the state of being hit by the "Charm" debuff.
