Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

On a snowy field, a not-so-fierce battle is currently taking place.

Kiana only defended against the Silver Mane Guards who attacked her, without retaliating. After all, the battle stemmed from a misunderstanding, and Kiana did not want to escalate the conflict with the local forces.

After a long while, it seemed that Jepard realized Kiana had shown mercy, so he called a halt to the battle.

"Everyone stop it."

"Finally, they're willing to listen to people!" March 7th put down his weapon and said with a sigh of relief.

"Based on the battle just now, you didn't show any hostility. It seems we misunderstood. We apologize!"

Seeing Jepard sincerely bow his head and apologize on March 7th, the resentment in his heart was greatly reduced.

"It's nothing! I've seen this kind of thing many times after traveling to so many planets."

"According to historical records, there were indeed many extraterrestrials who traveled to and from Beloborg seven hundred years ago. However, due to extraterrestrial disasters and cold waves, Beloborg has been cut off from the world beyond the sky for seven hundred years. You claim to be extraterrestrial visitors. What evidence do you have?"

"That's easy. Look, this is a photo I took from space. This is the appearance of your planet. Is that enough?"

As he spoke, March 7th handed his camera to the Silvermane Iron Guard who was closest to him. The Silvermane Iron Guard took the camera and was immediately surrounded by people. Even Jepard, who looked very serious, couldn't help but curiously come closer.

Amidst the sighs of the Silvermane Guards, Jepard temporarily accepted March 7's words. After another earnest apology, Jepard invited everyone to his city, Beloborg.

Jepard turned to look at the crowd, and behind him stood a magnificent city amidst the wind and snow.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived. Welcome to Beloborg, the last human city on this planet."

After following Jepard into the city, Kiana felt that the temperature had risen to a comfortable level. Kiana looked around and saw countless unidentified pipes lining the streets and houses, with some rather peculiar-looking structures attached to them.

Although she didn't know what these devices were called, Kiana could guess that these pipes and devices were the city's heating system.

"Later I will take you all to Kripper Keep, the residence of the High Warden, the supreme ruler of Beloborg, and the center of power in all of Beloborg. There, the High Warden will meet with you personally, and I believe that your goal will be achieved soon."

"I'm not going," Kiana said.

Jepard glanced at Kiana with a puzzled look, then summoned a Silvermane Iron Guard and instructed him to stay with Kiana for the time being.

After doing all this, under Kiana's watchful eye, Jepard led March 7 and the others into the magnificent yet dignified building.

"Could you please show me around this city?"

Perhaps this Silvermane Iron Guard was still a bit green, appearing somewhat awkward in the presence of a beautiful woman like Kiana.

"Okay... okay, please follow me."

Under the guidance of this Silvermane Iron Guard, Kiana gained a general understanding of the entire Beloberg's layout. During this time, Kiana also met an intelligence officer named Pera. After learning about the situation, Pera took over the role of guide, and the Silvermane Iron Guard finally returned to his own group with a sigh of relief.

Time flew by, and it was noon. Under Pera's guidance, Kiana sampled many local delicacies. However, her appetite made Pera, who had planned to treat everyone, feel a pang of regret for her wallet. Seeing Pera's pained expression, Kiana ultimately put down the menu she had already prepared.

Just then, a somewhat familiar voice rang out next to Kiana.

"Hello, are you and Mr. Danheng and the others traveling together?"

"Yes, that's right. May I ask what's the matter? And who are you?"

Kiana turned to look at the other person and saw a very familiar face. Pera, standing nearby, quickly stood up after recognizing who it was.

"Commander Bronya, what are you doing here?"

“Pera, don’t be nervous. I’m mainly here to have a meal. I just became a little curious about you and the lady next to you. After all, just now a group of people who claimed to be from another planet came to Kripper Castle and had a brief conversation with the High Guardian.”

"The result of that conversation was that we, the Silvermane Iron Guards, embarked on a collaboration with them that could potentially end the cold wave, and they are currently checking into the Goethe Hotel."

Kiana looked at the girl who also had the name Bronya and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. In her memory, Bronya was a complete shut-in, avoiding all troublesome things except for games. But this Bronya was so serious that Kiana found it hard to adjust.

Is this universe really that small? We've only been here a short time, and we've already encountered two Bronya counterparts, one of whom is still in her childhood form.

“This… Miss Bronya… hello, my name is Kiana Kaslana. If it’s too presumptuous of me, may I ask the name of the High Guardian?”

"Of course, her name is Cocolia Rand, a very excellent Great Guardian, and also my mother."

"Mother?"

“I was adopted as the successor to the High Guardian. Every High Guardian is a woman and does not have her own biological children. Whenever it is necessary to confirm the candidate for the next High Guardian, a secret selection is conducted among all the children of Belloborg. Although it is called a secret selection, everyone actually knows the secret. The selected person must abandon their past and be raised with a new identity.”

"Of course, the selection process starts with orphans, and children with their own families will not be selected unless absolutely necessary."

The mother's name is Cocolia, and she herself was adopted; moreover, according to her, she was most likely an orphan. Tsk, the experiences aren't exactly the same, but they're practically identical.

However, this Bronya's personality is much better than the one on my side, although she's a bit too serious. It's just that this Cocolia... Although I don't really want to put myself in my own world's situation, I always feel that she's hiding something from the whole of Beloberg.

"It may sound harsh, but Bronya, I hope you'll keep an eye on Cocolia. I have a feeling she's up to no good behind your back."

Hearing Kiana's cautious tone, Bronya frowned slightly in displeasure and said in a deep voice.

"Kiana, are you implying that my mother, the leader of Belloborg, harbors disloyal intentions? You've never even met her! Please take back your disrespectful words!"

"Because of my past experiences, I have a certain... well, how should I put it, an instinctive aversion to people with the name Cocolia? Sorry!"

Bronya took a deep breath, suppressing her anger: "You know Lady Cocolia better than you do. If you keep making baseless accusations, I'll shove my gun up your nose!"

Bronya said this, but a hint of doubt still arose in her heart. During this period, Cocolia's decisions became increasingly outrageous, and the battles on the front lines suffered repeated defeats because of these outrageous decisions.

Before Danheng and the others came in, she was still arguing with Cocolia about these things.

Kiana listened to Bronya's weak and feeble curses, and instinctively wanted to retort with "That's it?" but she held back. After all, this wasn't her world, and Bronya wasn't her best friend or frenemy; it was best not to be cheeky.

However, judging from Bronya's soft and gentle way of cursing, one can imagine that she lived the life of a noble lady from a young age and received an elite education.

If Cocolia could raise a Bronya like this, perhaps she truly is a competent mother. Hopefully, she's equally competent in leading the people, but why do I have this feeling that something bad is about to happen?
