"Sigh...it seems like either way is pretty cruel..."
Seele was helpless; she couldn't just let Bronya ignore her.
Bronya froze when she raised her phone to point it at the little girl.
Because there was no little girl in the photos at all.
"Big sister, can we take pictures now?"
"Ah, um, that's fine."
Click click click...
After a few clicks of the shutter, Bronya had taken the photos.
"Wow, I want to see! I want to see!"
The little girl ran to Bronya's side and stood on tiptoe to look at the photos on the phone.
Bronya hesitated for a moment, then opened the photo album and handed it to the little girl.
"Huh? Why is there nothing in this photo?"
The little girl tilted her head and asked with some confusion.
"I guess... my sister's hand was shaking, and her photography skills aren't good. I'm sorry, little one."
Bronya chuckled softly and said apologetically.
"Hehe, it's okay! I'll just ask someone else to take another one for me."
The little girl still smiled so brightly, and then waved to Bronya.
"Anyway, thank you so much, big sister!"
As the little girl finished speaking, her figure emitted a dim light and finally dissipated like dust.
Bronya stood up silently and stared blankly at the graffiti in front of her.
"Bronya..."
Seele stepped forward and called out with concern.
"I'm fine... just a little sad. She's such a lovely child... and I can't help her with anything."
Bronya turned around and forced a smile.
“I grew up in an orphanage. When the Rift came, I witnessed it devour many of my companions. I’ve thought about it countless times: why can I only watch helplessly? Why can’t I help them?”
Seele closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then suddenly opened them.
"So I desperately tried to become stronger, strong enough to destroy the Rift, strong enough to protect anyone..."
But as I grew up, I realized how insignificant and powerless I was. I even went through a period of depression because of it. Fortunately, Nata later taught me that the dead cannot be brought back to life. Instead of wallowing in self-pity for the deceased, I should look forward and do something for those who are still alive.
"Is this your reason for joining the Earthfire?"
Bronya looked at Seele.
"Ah."
Xier nodded.
Bronya smiled and then looked towards the orphanage.
“Actually, I’ve always felt that this orphanage is very familiar to me, not just the building... even these playground facilities seem to be familiar to me.”
Chapter 32 The Little Robot Pascal
"Huh? How is that possible? The upper and lower levels have been sealed off for over ten years, and not a single Silvermane Iron Guard has come down. How could you have seen them?"
Seele shook her head, thinking Bronya was talking in her sleep.
"Hmm? Wait... unless you were more than ten years ago..."
Seele suddenly realized something and stared wide-eyed at Bronya.
"Yes, that's the only possibility. Otherwise, I can't find any other reason why my memory is so hazy."
Bronya nodded, the familiar feeling gradually stirring excitement within her.
"Let's walk around some more, maybe it will help you regain your memory!"
Seele was also a little surprised, and quickly pulled Bronya to search the surrounding area.
After searching the surrounding area thoroughly, Seele and Bronya found a crystal ball.
"This is something from when I was a child..."
Bronya held up the crystal ball, her eyes filled with nostalgia.
"Really? Are you sure?"
Seele repeatedly confirmed.
"I am certain that I lived in an orphanage before Lady Cocolia adopted me and took me away from the lower district."
Bronya nodded and revealed her identity.
"Wait... You were adopted by Cocolia... You're the chosen one?"
Seele's eyes widened. Although she was young at the time, she had heard this news before.
At that time, the children in the orphanage were all eagerly hoping that they would be the one chosen.
Of course, even Seele thought that way when she was a child.
"I never expected... that a great guardian would emerge from among us orphans... Does Nata know about this?"
"No, she won't know. The identity of the successor to the Great Guardian is kept absolutely secret. Even I myself am unclear about things from my childhood."
Bronya shook her head.
Seele and Bronya started talking non-stop about their childhood.
Stephen Chow leaned against the railing watching the two of them, feeling somewhat superfluous.
"Let's just wander around, but this timeline is a bit off, I'm not sure if I'll run into Clara."
Stephen Chow quietly left, leaving the two of them sitting on the swing chatting.
After leaving the orphanage, Zhou Xingxing wandered around alone.
"I feel like that Silvermane Iron Guard girl has a thing for you."
Suddenly, Silver Wolf's voice came from behind.
"You're still here."
Stephen Chow was a little surprised; it seemed that Silver Wolf was quite free.
"What? You really want me to leave?"
Silver Wolf glanced at Stephen Chow with some dissatisfaction.
"So you saw everything just now?"
“I was there the whole time, tell me if I saw it or not.”
Stephen Chow blushed slightly, thinking that Silver Wolf had left, but it turned out that the guy was just hiding on the side.
It's really hard to guard against.
How do you know she's interested in me?
"I cried in your arms, how could it not be meaningful? I'm a woman too, of course I understand."
Silver Wolf gave a soft snort.
"You're a woman? Shouldn't you be a girl?"
Zhou Xingxing carefully examined the silver wolf and said.
"Huh? What do you mean! Are you mocking me?!"
When Silver Wolf heard Stephen Chow call him a girl, he immediately became furious.
What I hate most is being called "little" by others.
"No, I'm just telling the truth."
"You guy!"
Enraged, Silver Wolf raised his arm and aimed it at Stephen Chow.
"What do you want to do!"
Zhou Xingxing became alert. Was this guy planning to exploit his weaknesses?
Without hesitation, Stephen Chow turned and ran.
Seeing Zhou Xingxing run away so decisively, Silver Wolf couldn't help but chuckle twice.
However, she quickly recovered and chased after him with an angry expression.
"Stop right there! Let me hit you once and we'll be even!"
"How is it even? What do I owe you? I'm not stopping!"
The two were playfully fighting when Zhou Xingxing, caught off guard, fell hard to the ground.
"Hey... it hurts..."
Zhou Xingxing covered his nose. Why wasn't the protective light cone working? Did falling down count as self-harm and therefore not trigger the damage reduction effect?
Just as they were complaining, Silver Wolf caught up with them.
"I told you to run, now you've fallen and gotten hurt."
Silver Wolf shook his head helplessly, then leaned down and stared at Zhou Xingxing's face.
Such a stare made Zhou Xingxing, a pure and innocent virgin, instantly blush.
"Thankfully, I'm not badly injured, just a little red from the fall."
After seeing that there were no problems, Silver Wolf stood up with a grin.
"However, I thought you had the ability to fall flat on your face, but it turns out you just tripped over something."
