How about taking better care of yourself from now on? Don't be so busy traveling around like you used to be serving in the Silvermane Guard?

If you want to be a big guardian, it seems that you don’t need to always be on the front line.

(Wait! Why am I so obsessed with this and taking care of my legs?)

Bronya was embarrassed by the sudden thought that came to her mind, and all ten of her toes curled up.

After the two of them finished washing their bodies, Bronya was worrying about the problem of clothes when she saw Sirius walk in.

"ah--"

Just as she was frantically planning to cover herself with something, Bronya saw Sirius holding two brand new sets of clothes in his hands, one of which was obviously prepared for her.

It was exactly the same uniform she had just worn, which had been torn up by Jiang Lianqiu and could no longer be worn.

"You've prepared quite well."

The girl was both angry and amused, but she felt relieved in her heart, and she put on a dressing show in front of Jiang Lianqiu.

……Dividing line……

After returning to Beloberg and saying goodbye to Cocolia, Bronya stopped Seele who was about to return to the downtown area.

"what happened?"

After walking a few steps, Seele turned around and looked at Bronya in the corridor of Krippenburg.

"What else?"

"Seele, can we talk?" Bronya took the initiative to step forward and held Seele's hand.

"Ah! Why did you suddenly become so weird?" Seele was a little uncomfortable with Bronya's attitude at the moment, and at the same time, she had some strange emotions in her heart.

She didn't know what was going on, but ever since this guy and Jiang Lianqiu had an affair, she felt something was wrong when she looked at Bronya.

Seems more beautiful?

And that look in his eyes makes people feel itchy, as if Clara is tickling them.

"Xi'er, you like Lianqiu too, right?"

"……ha!?"

Xier was stunned at first, then her eyes widened and she screamed exaggeratedly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I, I, I, possibly—"

"It's impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Is that so?" Bronya seemed to be relieved and patted her chest, "Then I feel relieved."

Xier, who was just trying to retort, was suddenly stuck in her tracks: "Huh?"

"This way I don't have to worry about Xi'er and I arguing or even fighting over Lian Qiu one day."

Bronya blinked, looking as if she had finally let go of a huge stone in her heart.

While Seele was half asleep, Bronya continued, "You've been getting more and more irritable these past few days, Seele. There's so much going on in the lower districts, yet you've been running back and forth with me to the Starport. And your attitude hasn't been right since you saw Lian Qiu. Since you've always been a dishonest person, Seele, I thought you were just using this attitude to hide your true feelings."

"It seems I'm overthinking it."

“Yes…yes…ah, ahahahahaha…”

Xier laughed dryly, but felt more and more annoyed.

"I'm just not frank like that... No! Who isn't frank? You really want to quarrel with me, right?"

"So Seele is a straightforward person?" Bronya tilted her head in mock confusion. "Then why has Seele been so explosive these past few days?"

"It's you!" Xier gritted her teeth and looked up. "You've been distracted in Krippenburg all day. How can you be a great guardian like this? I, I'm just worried about Beloberg's future!"

"But I did everything perfectly, didn't I?" Bronya counted on her fingers. "Look, everyone, from Pella to Jeppard to Silva and even Natasha, said my arrangements were perfect."

"so--"

Finally, Bronya stared into Seele's eyes.

"Xi'er, you're just not honest."

Xi'er: "..."

She wanted to retort, but her mouth was blocked and she couldn't speak.

Just as she was about to escape in panic, Bronya pulled her back and whispered, "Seele, thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

Xier didn't notice that her tone was rarely weak.

"Thank you for pushing me so I could take that last step." Bronya curled her lips. "So, this time it's my turn to push you forward. When it's time to be honest, you should face your heart and don't deny it. Seele, think about it carefully. The past few days, you've been running back and forth between Starport and Beloberg with me. Is it really just because of me?"

"There are so many people around Lian Qiu. If you don't take the initiative, be careful that he won't be able to see you one day."

"Who, who wants him to see..."

Xier muttered stubbornly.

"There's still a lot of things going on over at the Underground Fire! I'm going back first!"

After breaking free from Bronya's hand, Seele ran out of Krippenburg with a disheveled back.

Bronya did not chase after him, but happily hummed the ancient folk song of Yalilo VI and turned back.

Through her observations over the past few days, she had already realized that the girls who frequented the Star Harbor had more or less formed their own small groups.

In this case, she also needs to gather her own team and unite all the forces that can be united.

The first step starts with Xier——

Xier, please be my good sister for life!

Bronya began to use the political skills she had honed as the Grand Guardian in strange ways...

Chapter 281: Fire Debt Handler

"...The expansion of the Rift has ceased, and the ravages of the cold wave will gradually subside. This process may take a long time, requiring several generations of our time, to restore this world's environment to what it was seven hundred years ago."

"But I believe that after seven hundred years of fighting the cold wave, we will surely be able to build a home for future generations in the distant future, a home that we could only see in pictures and books in the past..."

On the high platform built in Beloberg Square, Bronya loudly delivered a speech officially inheriting the position of Grand Guardian.

Below the stage, people from both the upper and lower classes gathered together. At this moment, there was no barrier between them due to their identities. They all raised their heads and looked hopefully at the young girl on the stage, who was so young and beautiful that she seemed to be glowing in the warm winter sun.

The surging crowd was almost endless, and every time Bronya's speech reached a climax, the crowd would erupt in huge cheers.

At the outermost edge of the square, on a bench outside a flower shop for pedestrians to rest, Jiang Lianqiu looked at the scene in front of him with amusement.

Xing stood there with a grin on her face, while March Seven rode on her neck, holding the camera high in his hand, constantly adjusting the focus to capture the scene of Bronya's speech.

"It's almost there, almost there! Hold on a little longer!"

"It's time for you to lose weight."

"Nonsense! I only weigh... You're a star, you're trying to trick me into revealing the secret of a beautiful girl, right? Damn it!"

After taking the photos, a satisfied San Yue Qi jumped off Xing's body, ran to sit next to Jiang Lianqiu, and pulled him to show him the photos he had taken.

"Lianqiu Lianqiu, look, Bronya now looks like a true Great Guardian."

"I am the real great guardian."

Jiang Lianqiu's upper body was swaying left and right as San Yueqi pulled him.

The girl is now becoming less and less defensive towards him, and all kinds of physical contact are inevitable.

"Ah, are the adults here?"

A slightly anxious voice sounded.

The round-faced girl, Pella, ran over, her hands on her knees as she took a few breaths before she hurriedly said, "It's almost time for you ladies to take the stage and receive the cheers of the people. Lady Bronya said that as someone who helped Beloberg, you must be thanked by the people."

"Wow, this kind of thing is something I'm not good at!" Sanyueqi pushed Jiangxing out, "I'll leave it to you!"

"I love receiving cheers the most." Xing put her hands on her hips, tilted her head back, and smiled scornfully, "Let the applause and flowers come even louder!"

"Applause is fine, but flowers are a bit difficult."

Pella laughed awkwardly. Flowers were a rare commodity in Beloberg. Even the succession ceremony of the Great Guardian was not decorated with flowers.

"Master Jiang, you——"

"I won't go." Jiang Lianqiu shook his head. "It's better for Xing to go to such a prominent occasion."

Soon, Xing was led through the crowd and stood next to Bronya on the platform.

Jiang Lianqiu didn't pay attention to Xing who was in the spotlight, but took a casual glance and saw a familiar person.

He stood up and walked away under March Seven's puzzled gaze.

At this time, Topa was sitting under the parasol of a roadside stall, with his chin on one hand, his legs crossed, and he was asking for a cold drink while looking at the high platform in the distance with a smile.

Noticing someone coming up to her, she relaxed her habit and looked up.

"Are you two... the great heroes who saved Beloberg, the pioneers of the Star Train, as the Great Guardian mentioned?"

"Huh? Your tone doesn't sound like a Beloberg." March 7's eyes widened, and he immediately saw the badge on Toppa's chest that marked him as a senior employee of the company.

"Oh, you're from the company!?"

"That's right." Topa extended his right hand. "Meet me, my name is Topa, a senior official in the Strategic Investment Department of Interstellar Peace Company."

She seemed to be answering San Yueqi's question, but her eyes were always on Jiang Lianqiu.

After a brief handshake with Topa and a self-introduction, Jiang Lianqiu brought San Yueqi to sit opposite her.

"You arrived earlier than I thought."

"Actually, it'll probably be a while before they arrive," Topa explained with a smile. "The company noticed the Amber King had brought down his hammer. It would take some time to locate the location of the miracle, but the Star God of Destruction has also set his sights on this world."

"The intersecting gazes of the two Star Gods allowed us to easily identify the planet Yalilo VI, and thus, an old story was naturally brought to light."

After a pause, Topa asked curiously, "From what Mr. Jiang said just now, it seems that he knows the reason why I came here?"

"Humph, I knew you would be eager to come and collect the debt!"

Sanyueqi looked at Topa with his nose not being a nose and his eyes not being eyes.

Topa didn't show any sign of annoyance at March Seven's attitude, and he wore a friendly business smile from beginning to end.

She shifted her legs under the table, straightened her back slightly, and adopted a businesslike attitude.

"Since you two know about this, I imagine the Great Guardian also knows about it. I wonder what she thinks about the debt from back then?"

"It's no use asking me about this." Jiang Lianqiu shook his head, "Even if I know, I won't tell you. Go talk to Bronya yourself."

Topa frowned. He didn't expect that his attempt to gather intelligence before formal negotiations would hit a wall after taking the first step.

She didn't care. She had encountered many similar things in the past. She also knew that a debt of more than two hundred years, not repaid for seven hundred years, and overdue for more than four hundred years with compound interest plus late payment fees and penalty interest, would form an astronomical figure that the Beloberg people would not even know how to pronounce.

But she still believed that she could convince the Great Guardian to sign the contract she had prepared for her.

however--

……Dividing line……

"Are you planning to acquire the company's debt?!"

An hour later, in the conference room next to the Grand Guardian's office.

Topa stared at the group of people sitting in front of him in amazement.

"That's right." Vivian, who was sitting in the middle, nodded reservedly.

On her left was Ester, on her right was Bronya, and beside them stood Victoria's household staff, led by Lecan.

Behind him are Xier, Sanyueqi and Xing.

As for Jiang Lianqiu, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the other side, with his back to everyone, holding Topa's pet Zhangzhang in his arms.

This time, Yuan Puman stayed obediently in Jiang Lianqiu's arms, letting him play with him like a cat, not even daring to move.
