Collapse, I started out as a duck's daughter?

Seeing the serious expression on Roshia's face, Bronya looked at the menu again, picked out a reasonably priced snack, and then put the menu aside.

"Luo Xiya, did the academy give you pocket money as well?"

Under normal circumstances, Bronya and her friends would receive a lot of subsidies every time they went on a mission. Even though they were still C-rank Valkyries, it was still a lot.

Roshia came here often, and Bronya thought Theresa also gave her some pocket money.

"um, yes."

Luo Xia's eyes dodged for a moment, then she responded immediately.

"Is this so..."

Hearing this, Bronya felt a little relieved.

"Well, Bronya's mother wants this one, and I'm the same as before."

Handing the menu to the waiter, Loshia pointed cutely.

"Um..."

The waiter took back the menu, then looked at Bronya hesitantly, and finally turned around and sighed slightly.

However, because Bronya's attention was on Roshia, she did not notice the waiter's abnormality.

Soon, the dessert was ready and served.

"Please enjoy."

When the waiter served Bronya's portion, the air was filled with the sweet aroma of sugar, and the warm breath was even visible to the naked eye. Of course, in contrast, the expression on the waiter's face was not good, and his smile seemed to be forced.

Roshia also noticed this, so she began to urge Bronya, trying to divert her attention.

"Mother Bronya, try it. If you like it, we'll do it again next time."

Whenever she saw Bronya, the smile on Roshia's face never stopped.

"okay."

Bronya took a small sip.

It tasted really good and very sweet, especially when Luo Xia was looking at her expectantly, it made it even sweeter.

"Please enjoy your brownie."

When the waiter brought over Luo Xia's portion, his movements and tone were noticeably gentler.

But compared to Bronya's portion, Roshia's portion looked a little less appetizing, and it was cold and not very large in quantity.

"So few?"

Bronya frowned and looked at the waiter.

Her portion was already considered small, and Roshia's was only one-third of hers.

"That's up to you."

Facing Bronya's question, the waiter responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, and the gentle smile on his face became stiff.

"Okay, Bronya, this is just enough for me. After all, no matter how delicious something is, you can't eat too much..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Luo Xia immediately tried to smooth things over.

"..."

Bronya exchanged glances with the waiter again, then looked away.

She had a good memory and judging from the prices on the menu, the brownies were not cheap, so it was obvious that the store was deliberately trying to rip people off.

"Come on, Roshia, it's almost time, let's go to the movies."

After Roshia finished eating the cake in small bites, Bronya took her hand and left.

According to the waiter, Luo Xia comes to this store quite often, and she will come to settle the bill later.

......

Not long after they left, when the waiter came to clean up the table, he couldn't help but say to the dim sum chef who had been silent the whole time:

"People nowadays don't even care about their own children. I don't know what they are thinking."

"She is so young, but not as sensible as her child..."

"Okay, don't disturb other guests' meals."

The pastry chef put away the preservation device and put away the remaining brownies.

“One cake for a week...”

"Can it be more?"

Chapter 32: The best movies in the world

The atmosphere in the cinema was very good, and soon Kiana and Mei also arrived.

"Quack! Bronya! Me!"

The seats they decided on were two in each of the two middle rows.

Roshia and Bronya sat in the first two rows, so she had to sit with Mei.

"do you have any opinion?"

Bronya turned around and glanced at her "kindly".

She was not in a very good mood to begin with, so her eyes looked a little scary.

"You...why are you so serious..."

Kiana was just joking and wasn't really making a fuss about the seating issue.

"Ha...it's okay, Sister Kiana."

Luo Xia waved her hands helplessly. She didn't know why Bronya's mother was in a bad mood.

Roshia was confused by the content of the movie, but because she was holding Bronya's mother's hand the whole time, she felt at ease and was very happy.

When it was time to leave, Bronya touched Roshia's head.

"Luoxia, you, Mei and the stupid Kiana should go back first. I have something I want to take care of."

"Okay, stay safe, Mama Bronya."

Luo Xiya nodded her head with concern.

"Well, I will."

Bronya said seriously.

She wanted to go to the store to ask what was going on. If they were really trying to trick Roshia, Bronya would not show any mercy.

Even if she couldn't use physical means, she had countless ways to make that store pay the price.

As she passed by the door of a coffee shop, a familiar voice came from the lounge chair under the awning.

"Long time no see, my daughter."

"Cocolia..."

Hearing this familiar voice, Bronya stopped and her eyes were stunned.

"Oh? You don't even call me mom?"

Cocolia took off her sunglasses, revealing her purple eyes, and pointed to the seat opposite.

"Long time no see, let's sit down and chat."

Listening to Cocolia's words, Bronya pursed her lips, her silver-gray eyes flickering constantly, and finally she lowered her head and sat down.

"Raiden Mei is currently under the control of St. Freya's Academy. A special device has been implanted in her body. Once..."

Seeing that Cocolia was staring at her and was reluctant to speak, Bronya had no choice but to speak first.

"I know that Raiden Mei is good, but she is not important now..."

Bronya, who was interrupted by Cocolia, had her pupils shrink slightly when she heard what she said.

"Let's talk about something more important, like..."

Cocolia crossed her legs, shook the red wine glass in her hand slightly, and finally placed it on the table with a crisp sound.

"My granddaughter, Loshia."

......

The Far East Coast

A blond boy wearing a dark green hat walked across the beach as if taking a stroll. This place was about two hundred kilometers away from St. Freya's College.

"Interesting, they moved all the equipment to the bottom of the sea to hide the leaked Honkai energy?"

Otto gently touched the sea water with his hand and smiled.

"Unfortunately, this trick is just a show of skill for amateurs."

Otto glanced mockingly at the seemingly ordinary tourists on the beach.

Cocolia could not complete all the experiments he had done in his lifetime. He had laboratories in the deep sea, underground, in the sky, and even in the distant South and North Poles.

As long as it involves Honkai energy, Otto's research has reached a level that Anti-Entropy can't even imagine.

"Strange, this kind of human experiment involving Honkai energy, Walter Yang didn't stop it..."

Otto received the confidential anti-entropy intelligence from Amber.

If Anti-Entropy can get some things out of the Destiny Database, then Otto naturally has the means to pry some interesting things out of them.

"An ordinary warlord could allow her to do this..."

Seeing this, even Otto was a little confused, but he soon figured it out.

"Someone is secretly supporting her? With Walter Yang's character..."

Although the fundamental reason why Cocolia was so rampant was still unknown, Otto had already roughly understood her.

"Haha, I see. Are you really targeting Raiden Mei, whose natural stigma was hidden by Raiden Ryoma?"

Every time he comes to the Far East, he finds some little tricks, which are really interesting.

I didn't expect that the cause of the third collapse could be clearly understood by investigating just one person.

Otto had to admire Cocolia for relying on emotions to stimulate the birth of the Herrscher. Although the method was crude and stupid, she succeeded.

"If I'm not mistaken, her experiment should be about to begin."

After so much preparation, Otto became more and more interested.

"I'm so sensitive to natural stigmata... I don't think so..."

For some reason, Otto thought of the figure feeding the cat.

"If...she were still a human..."

......

"I want you to consider this, my daughter."

Cocolia looked at the silver-gray-haired girl with a stern expression.

"I..."

In front of Cocolia, it was one of the few times that Bronya felt conflicted.

"You've grown up, Bronya. You've learned to call yourself "I". You should also understand what a mother should consider..."

Looking at the girl whose temperament was gradually changing, Cocolia shook her head, then took out a box from the side and handed it to her.

"This is a wine I have collected for a long time. I hope that next time we meet, the four of us can open it together."

After handing the box to Bronya, Cocolia stood up and left.

She did not continue to ask Bronya for her opinion because she had been making statements from beginning to end, not requests.

Bronya sat there, clenched her fists, and pressed her lips and teeth together until blood trickled down the corners of her mouth.

"Why..."

"Why!"
