The other person's gaze was like a needle piercing his chest.

Right now, between the two of them, besides the overcooked pot of beef and beet soup, there was a photo of them together.

It is one of the few things that have survived the complete demise of the current civilization era.

A group photo of the Kokolia Orphanage in the past.

In the photo, there's Cocolia, still full of energy and energy, her military uniform draped over her shoulders; there's Xing, with her arms folded across her chest, looking quite unsociable; and there's the younger twins, Arlin and his wife, with very different personalities...

Also, there is the gentle and lovely Xier, who is hugging her from behind, and... myself, who is holding the Houmu doll with a dull expression.

Bronya knew that the short-haired girl opposite was waiting for her to speak first.

But... she really didn't know where to start or how to explain it.

The atmosphere was tense, and a long time passed...

"You're not going to say anything?"

In the end, Xier spoke first.

"..."

Bronya opened her mouth, with a lot to say.

But in the end...

"sorry."

She lowered her head, pressed her hands on her knees, and clenched her fists tightly.

Extremely nervous.

Like a child who has gotten into great trouble.

What's strange is that compared to her, Xier, who is usually carefree... and was born in this era, seems particularly calm.

"You know that's not what I want to hear."

Seele looked directly at Bronya, her tone... sounding very calm, "Explain well, I'll give you a chance."

"Maybe you have forgotten, but I haven't."

She added, "I said I would believe you."

"!!!"

Bronya's heart was particularly touched at this moment.

Finally, she reluctantly prepared herself mentally.

then……

"Bronya confesses to you."

The gray-haired girl raised her head and looked directly into the eyes of the short-haired girl opposite her. "Things are a little strange, but... please believe that what Bronya said is true."

"Ah."

Xier nodded and said, "Go ahead, I'm listening."

"it is good."

Bronya took another deep breath and finally spoke...

Or should we say: She is really being forced into a situation and has no choice but to speak up.

"These things must be told from the future, more than 50,000 years from now..."

Next, Bronya, with her 180 IQ, described her childhood as a young soldier-killer, her subsequent reputation as the "Silver Wolf of the Ural," her subsequent failed assassination attempt on Cocolia, her admission to the orphanage she founded, and her encounter with her sisters...

And, carrying out the mission in Changkong City, as an important part of it, triggered a series of major changes afterwards...

These series of causally connected events are all narrated.

"...The man you met today is called Ling Ke, the Ruler of our time."

"In order to complete his revenge plan, he forcibly turned back time to over 50,000 years ago... which is the current era."

"He said: If Bronya and the others want to save their era, they must put this era back on the path of destruction and extinction."

"But Bronya doesn't want this..."

She said a lot in one breath.

Xier also listened quietly.

She...actually doesn't have that much patience.

But only now, she was surprisingly patient.

Until this moment...

"All right."

Seele interrupted Bronya's subsequent words.

Then she asked, "So, the reason why you knew my name and called me so affectionately that night when we first met..."

"Is it because you mistook me for someone else?"

"Xi'er Fule'ai...is that so?"

Hearing this overly sensitive question...

"..."

Bronya was silent for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and answered with difficulty: "Yes!"

There was no change in the expression on Xier's face.

She continued, "Then why did you risk your life to save me, and why did we live together during this time, trying to overcome various difficulties..."

"Is it because of you that you mistook me for her shadow?"

"No!"

Bronya looked overly excited and answered without hesitation, "Bronya didn't mean that."

She seemed so flustered that she blurted out, "Xi'er, you are different from my Xi'er..."

"..."

It wasn't until Bronya saw Seele remained silent that she realized she had said the wrong thing.

She hurried to remedy the situation...

"Seele, Bronya didn't mean that, you know..."

"I do not know."

Seele interrupted Bronya again, her tone still extremely calm.

Facing Bronya's extremely frightened gaze...

"I didn't know you had such a past."

"I didn't know there were such secrets in the world."

"but……"

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled, "You finally confessed to me, even though it's a little late."

She didn't say exactly how late she was.

"Xie'er..."

"Let's eat first, Sister Bronya."

"It's not good to be hungry all the time."

Xier really didn't seem to be affected at all. She stood up and brought the beef beet soup, which was almost cold... and a little mushy, between the two of them. She casually took away the somewhat glaring photo and put it aside.

Bronya finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She smiled, feeling incredibly relaxed.

But perhaps she was too relaxed.

Not surprising...

In this case, she would be somewhat self-deceiving.

Therefore, Bronya chose not to notice... Seele at this moment... She was very gentle.

Her tone was soothing and her smile was easygoing.

She calls herself "Sister Bronya".

Just like... the "Shill Freya" in my memory.

The two of them enjoyed a not-so-delicious lunch.

There are fewer smiles between them, but they still exist.

Most of them are Xier’s smiles.

Seeing the smile appear on her face again, Bronya gradually started to smile as well.

Only Cocolia, who was sitting next to her, was trembling inexplicably even though she was unconscious.

In the afternoon, Bronya wanted to prepare some liquid food for her mother Cocolia.

She wanted to make some porridge for the latter.

Xier did not object.

But she didn't help.

Bronya vaguely noticed that when Seele looked at Cocolia's mother, her eyes were full of rejection.

Yes, Cocolia’s mother has done so many wrong things and is often treated like this.

But there's nothing I can do. She raised me... I can't abandon her.

Bronya went outside to cook porridge.

At this time, Seele stood at the door of the cabin in the woods, watching Bronya busying around from afar.

The heavily armored bunny was also helping out.

Light a fire, add wood...

At a certain moment, the short-haired girl's purple eyes turned blood red.

There seemed to be vague butterflies flying around him.

She didn't even notice it herself.

The strange purple lines on her right forearm, which had been spreading over an increasingly larger area, suddenly faded away as if in rewind.

In the end, it completely disappeared into thin air.

Just now, before Bronya fully confessed, the girl received the revelation and "blessing" of "God".

The "God" gave her a brocade robe, the wine of death, and sweet dreams...

After quieting down everything in the world, she will have her own real "sweet dream".

At this moment, the only thing in her eyes was the gray-haired girl who was so busy that sweat broke out on her forehead.

She whispered to herself, "Xier... abandoned the seriously ill Nata, abandoned the children in the orphanage, abandoned everything in the past... and finally came here."

"Xi'er has nothing left..."

I thought you were the same.

At this moment, a photo frame appeared in the girl's left palm.

She clutched the dazzling photo tightly, and then...

"Click~"

Transparent shattered.

The photo, along with the frame, began to wither away in silence from Xier's fingertips, turning into a charcoal-like substance...most of it was shattered.

Finally, only a small fragment remained... a fragment reflecting the image of Bronya in her early years, which slowly fell to the ground.
