Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

"..."

Looking at the warm smile on Gwen's face, Yuexia pursed her thin lips and asked hesitantly,

"Do you really think so?

Am I... still human?"

"of course."

Gwyn answered without hesitation,

"If you claim to possess powers that humans don't possess, then wouldn't I, who can subdue you, be even more inhuman?

If you really want to count, then am I not a bigger monster than you?"

As he said this, Gwen turned and looked at Xier who was sitting next to him.

"Xier, do you think I'm a monster?"

"..."

Because of Gwen's words, Xier, with a thoughtful look on her face, immediately shook her head vigorously.

"Brother Gwen is a human being, a good man."

"Look, I'm a human being, so how can you, who are not even as good as me as a monster, be considered a non-human?"

After getting the answer he wanted, Gwen immediately looked up at the opposite side, met the slightly trembling eyes under the moon, and said with a smile.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Yuexia pursed her pale lips, nodded slightly, and lowered her voice.

"……Thank you……"

After saying that, Yuexia, who had been staring at Gwen for a long time, suddenly raised her voice, as if she was a completely different person from before, and asked tentatively:

"Gwen, could you please...let me tell you a story?"

"Of course, I'd like to hear more about it."

Gwen nodded, pulled Xier to sit across from him under the moon, and pretended to listen.

“Although my time here is limited, there is still time for a story.”

"Um……"

Seeing Gwen's attitude, Yuexia slowly sat back on the bed, opened her mouth slightly, and began to tell her story.

"The girl is a doll made by my grandfather..."

In the girl's voice filled with unconcealed sadness, the story of a girl who was made as a tool and gained a bit of "freedom" through an accident was told.

Even though Yuexia didn't say it explicitly, the three people in the room all understood that Yuexia was the protagonist of the story.

"I see……"

After hearing the story told by the person involved, even though he already had a general understanding of it, Gwen couldn't help feeling sad.

However, looking at the little face full of sadness and numbness under the moonlight, Gwen did not say anything to comfort her. Instead, he took two steps forward, helped the girl to straighten her hair accessories that were a little out of place, and smiled and said:

“So, Yuexia is human.

Although she was tampered with by bad guys at birth, she is still a kind girl who doesn't want others to be hurt because of her."

While comforting the girl, Gwen kept thinking in his heart -

"Xi'er and I were the first targets of Yuexia's attack, so it seems we're still some distance away from the time point in the game.

And… this early event plot… is so outlandish. Otto in 06 actually interfered with the timeline and even threatened to distort cause and effect…

Taking these factors into account...

As expected, it’s better to solve the problem here as soon as possible...

but……"

"Um……"

After letting Gwen fix her hair accessories, Yuexia raised her head and looked at the genuine smile on Gwen's face, nodding slowly.

"I will be a good person."

"I trust you,"

Noticing Yuexia's suddenly stronger spirit, Gwen nodded with a smile.

"Besides, Xi'er and I will help you too."

"Let's cheer together, Yuexia."

Xier also jumped off the bed at this time and talked with Gwen under the moon.

Although she was still afraid of Yuexia just now, after listening to Yuexia's story, the kind-hearted Seele put aside her fear and wanted to help this poor girl with Gwyn.

"Um……"

Although what was happening before her eyes seemed to be something that could only appear in a fairy tale, she did not feel any sense of unreality under the moonlight. She only felt a warm current flowing through her heart, completely warming her heart which had been chilled after she realized something was wrong with her.

And this scene, in the faint flicker of light, was fully captured by a certain formless consciousness...

Chapter 170 Bait for Bronya

"call……"

In the empty toilet, a slight sigh suddenly appeared, and at the same time, a figure who had quietly disappeared here before appeared. It was Gwyn who had just returned from the world bubble.

"...Has two hours passed here?"

Gwen did not leave the bathroom immediately, but waited for a moment until the watch-like Moon Sky Summoner on his wrist connected to the network and synchronized the time.

Although it is now basically certain that the system's time-travel function will determine how long the original world will last, Gwen cannot fully trust the armor's built-in timing function after having experienced that battle and the world bubble before.

"There should still be some people in the store now, but I'm not very familiar with the owner or the waiters here, so it shouldn't attract much attention..."

After thinking it over and making sure that there wouldn't be any major problems, Gwen left the bathroom.

Returning to the lobby without attracting anyone's attention, Gwen casually brushed off a waiter's question, heated up the already cold meal, and ordered some more to take away.

On the other side, although Xier and Yuexia had a place to live, they were both hungry.

Gwen walked back to his apartment without attracting much attention, but he was already thinking about how to deal with the next development...

Although it did not attract the attention of ordinary people, it did not cause any major chaos.

However, the two hours that disappeared into thin air were destined to be hidden from fate and anti-entropy radicals.

In addition to serving as a summoner for the armor Gwyn is wearing, the Moonsky Summoner on Gwyn's wrist will also synchronize its position to the satellite in a timely manner to ensure the safety of the armor and Gwyn.

In this case, Gwyn's disappearance was destined to be revealed by fate.

Similarly, if Gwyn disappeared for two hours right under the nose of Bronya, who most likely had ulterior motives, it would also attract the attention of Cocolia's group... if Bronya directly reported the situation here to Cocolia.

And if Bronya hadn't reported immediately, and the Ural Silver Wolf had been prepared to complete the mission alone...

Holding the packed food in one hand and putting the other hand in his pocket, he fiddled with the hairpin he borrowed from Xier before leaving. Gwen thought that maybe he could use the traditional Japanese art to make the Japanese rebel?

Just as Gwyn didn't feel any unusual gazes along the way, he couldn't help but wonder if Bronya was using the roadside cameras to observe him. However, after entering the community, he noticed a gaze.

"...Looks like the plan is about to begin. Cocolia has even started monitoring me, Raiden Mei's close friend..."

Because he had no idea what kind of bizarre plan Cocolia's amazing wisdom had come up with, Gwen guessed so and continued walking on the road without raising his head, as if he was completely unaware that someone upstairs was watching him.

"..."

On the balcony, looking at Gwyn strolling leisurely down the street, just like any other passerby taking a stroll after dinner, a hint of doubt appeared in Bronya's eyes, as Gwyn suspected.

Originally, Bronya planned to contact Gwyn today and monitor him as a newly moved neighbor, while also being able to contact Mei Raiden, the core of Cocolia's mother's plan.

But Gwyn disappeared halfway through the meal, which made Bronya feel a little uneasy.

After dragging her feet on dinner for more than half an hour, Bronya had to give up her plan and returned alone to the apartment next to Gwen that she had just rented.

Of course, before leaving, Bronya also went to the bathroom. With the help of the heavy-duty rabbit scan, she found that Gwyn was not in the bathroom.

Although Bronya was puzzled by this, she did not report Cocolia's thoughts.

As far as Bronya was concerned, Gwyn knew nothing about her and it was impossible for him to run away just because he saw her.

Although Gwen's strange disappearance was indeed a bit strange, Bronya still planned to continue observing -

The restaurant's camera was not facing the bathroom, so Bronya could not confirm whether Gwen left in other directions.

And at this moment, looking at Gwyn's appearance as if nothing had happened and everything was normal, even someone as sharp as the Ural Silver Wolf could only maintain the most basic suspicion.

Without staring for too long, Bronya quickly left the balcony, sat back in her wheelchair, and prepared to have an "accidental encounter" with Gwyn in the corridor.

"Ding--"

The elevator door opened, and Gwen, who was carrying his packed dinner, was startled.

Outside the elevator, Bronya, whom I had met once at dinner, was sitting in a wheelchair facing the elevator.

"...Little sister, are you the new resident here?"

Gwyn instantly confirmed a certain guess in his mind, but his face showed just the right amount of doubt as he asked Bronya.

"Well, Bronya just moved in today."

Bronya nodded slightly, maneuvered the wheelchair to adjust the direction, and made way for Gwyn.

"Big brother, do you live here too?"

"That's right,"

Gwen nodded and smiled.

"It seems we are quite destined to be together."

Gwen walked out of the elevator, looked down at Bronya in the wheelchair, and asked doubtfully,

"It's so late, Bronya, are you still going out?"

"Well, Bronya needs to go out and buy two batteries. Big brother, do you know where the nearest convenience store is?"

Because of nerve damage, she couldn't show much expression, so Bronya simply didn't hide the fact that she was ill. The little girl's delicate face had no expression, which made people feel very pitiful.

"Battery?

I have all the commonly used models at home. If you don’t mind, I can get them for you when I get back.”

Gwyn, who had basically concluded that Bronya was planning to approach him to monitor or kidnap him, took out the key from his pocket and shook it, indicating that Bronya didn't need to go down.

"...Thank you, big brother. Bronya will treat you to dinner tomorrow."

Bronya's eyes moved slightly, and after a moment of silence, she nodded slightly and agreed.

As it stands now, Gwyn is a good man.

But... for Xi'er... everything is worth it...

Bronya, whose emotional circuits were damaged and who only had the most basic rationality towards most people and things, recalled the promise she made to Seele in her mind, but in the end, when she thought of Seele's disappeared figure, Bronya remained unshakable and warned herself so.

"Then I'll wait and see."
