Crossing the Star Railway: The Beginning of the Starry Sky Twins

"call..."

Xier breathed a sigh of relief.

This move is my secret weapon, and it consumes a lot of physical energy when used.

"Xi'er, why did you come to the Rift by yourself? Didn't you just tell me to go back to sleep?"

Bronya trotted over to Seele's side, frowned slightly, and spoke in a slightly blaming tone.

"Oh, Bronya... Isn't it that the news came out that Nata can treat pneumoconiosis? Suddenly, more and more patients came. No matter whether it was pneumoconiosis or not, they all ran to Nata..."

When Seele saw Bronya's blaming look, she couldn't help but scratch the back of her head and smiled awkwardly.

"Not enough medicine?"

Zhou Xingxing asked, he still had a lot of medicine here, so it would be okay to leave some more.

"No, the medicines you gave me are all good, but not everyone can use them. Nata asked me to come here to find some medical supplies like alcohol. She said she left a batch behind."

Xier explained quickly.

"So when you said you were going back to sleep, you were actually sending me away to help Dr. Natasha?"

Bronya looked at Seele with some resentment in her eyes.

"I'm watching too late, I'm afraid you'll be tired. Anyway, when I was the busiest, I didn't sleep for six days. This is nothing."

Xi'er shook her head.

"Do I look that delicate?"

Bronya stared at Seele and asked with an unhappy look on her face.

"..."

For a moment, Seele really didn't know how to answer. If she answered yes, it seemed like it would make Bronya angry.

So Xier looked at Zhou Xingxing with a look of help.

"Rather than that, let's go up first. Xier, the supplies you're looking for aren't over there, right?"

Zhou Xingxing understood and quickly pointed to the orphanage in front and said.

"Oh, yes, that's it. Let's go quickly. Nata is waiting for us urgently."

Xier blinked at Zhou Xingxing with satisfaction, then ran up the stairs with big strides.

"You can actually ask us for help."

As he walked up the stairs, Zhou Xingxing said casually.

"You are now the great benefactors of the Earth Fire. If the boss knew that I had to trouble you for such a small matter, I would probably get scolded."

Xi'er shrugged.

"This is a small matter. If we hadn't come, could you have dealt with the monster?"

Bronya looked at Seele helplessly.

"Of course I can deal with that monster! Don't underestimate me! It's just that you guys came before I could show my real strength!"

Seeing that she was looked down upon by Bronya, Seele quickly spoke.

"But it's nice to fight alongside you guys. I prefer the feeling of beating up the creatures that split the world compared to fighting them."

"Really? It seems like we work well together."

Bronya smiled.

As the three of them were talking, they came to the orphanage, where there were a lot of children's graffiti on the walls.

"Hey, there... is there a little girl?"

Bronya was startled to see a little girl staring at the graffiti on the wall.

"That is..."

Before Seele could say anything, Bronya walked up to the little girl and greeted her.

"Hello, little one, what are you doing here?"

Bronya leaned over and asked the little girl gently.

"Eh? Hello, big sister! I'm looking at the painting I drew!"

The little girl turned around and saw Bronya said happily.

"Really? It's a really beautiful painting."

Bronya smiled as she looked at the slightly scribbled graffiti on the wall.

"Yeah, I think it looks good too."

The little girl was obviously very happy to be praised.

"Well, could you please take a picture of me with these paintings?"

The little girl suddenly asked.

"Hey, taking pictures... it's so sudden."

"Actually, today is my birthday! Sister Natasha wants to take a picture of me and send it to mom and dad so they can see how I've changed."

"But I can't find Sister Natasha...and you happened to be passing by, so I thought I could ask you, hehe."

The little girl nodded and said with a smile on her face.

“But I didn’t bring…”

Bronya was stunned, and just as she was about to say sorry, a hand appeared next to her face.

"Use my phone."

Zhou Xingxing took out his cell phone, switched to camera mode and handed it to Bronya.

"Ah."

Bronya took the phone and pointed it at the little girl.

"Come on, strike a pose, I want to take a picture."

Bronya said to the little girl with a smile.

"Great! Thank you, big sister!"

The little girl thanked him very politely and then jumped around and posed in various lively poses.

"Is this really okay..."

On the side, Xier couldn't help but sigh and looked at Zhou Xingxing and asked.

"How about telling her directly that the child has long been dead, and what is left now is just the afterimage of the Rift?"

Zhou Xingxing looked at Xier and asked back.

"Alas...it seems that either one is quite cruel..."

Seele was helpless. She couldn't let Bronya ignore her.

Bronya was suddenly stunned when she raised her phone and pointed it at the little girl.

Because there was no image of the little girl in the camera at all.

"Big sister, can we take the photo?"

"Ah, yes, that's enough."

Click click click...

After a few shutter sounds, Bronya had already taken the photos.

"Wow, I want to see it, I want to see it!"

The little girl ran to Bronya's side and stood on tiptoes to see the photos on the phone.

Bronya hesitated for a while, but still 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.

"Maybe...my hands are shaking and my photography skills are not good. I'm sorry, little friend."

Bronya laughed softly and said apologetically.

"Hey, it's okay! I'll just ask someone else to take a photo for me."

The little girl still smiled brightly, and then waved to Bronya.

"Anyway, thank you, onee-san—"

As the little girl finished her words, her figure began to emit a dim light, and finally dissipated like dust.

Bronya stood up silently and stared blankly at the graffiti in front of her.

"Bronya..."

Xier walked forward and shouted with concern.

"I'm fine... I'm just a little sad. She's such a lovely child... but I can't do anything to help her."

Bronya turned around and forced a smile.

"I grew up in an orphanage. When the rift came, I saw it devour many of my companions. I have thought about this countless times, why can't I just watch and why can't I help them."

Xier closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them suddenly.

"So I worked hard to become stronger, to be strong enough to destroy the Rift, to be strong enough to protect anyone...

But when I grew up, I realized how insignificant and powerless I was. I was depressed for a while because of this. Fortunately, Nata taught me that the dead cannot be resurrected. Instead of feeling sorry for the dead, it is better to look forward and do something for the living. "

"Is this why you joined Earthfire?"

Bronya looked at Seele.

"Ah."

Xier nodded.

Bronya smiled and then looked towards the orphanage.

"In fact, I have always felt that this orphanage is very familiar to me. Not only this building... but even these amusement facilities seem to have been seen by me before."
