Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

Therefore, Cocolia's education level is really poor.

Her child had been in a relationship for so long, and she hadn't noticed at all. Now it's turned into a family conflict.

Shihen picked out a piece of grilled beef for Xing, the Super Light Bulb, and said with a smile, "According to our Anti-Entropy tradition, the captain always treats the newly formed team to a barbecue."

From now on, I will be your mentor... no, I mean your captain for the foreseeable future.

Cheers to the formation of the Seventh Squad!

As Shihen raised his cup, the other two girls responded, leaving only Xing still in an emo mood.

Tsk, he even created opportunities for the other person to clink glasses with the person they liked, but this guy didn't react at all.

Serves them right for not even being able to be a simp.

Shihen couldn't help but shake his head.

Chapter 74 All the long-awaited reunions were premeditated

Anti-Entropy Headquarters, Cocolia's Office.

"By now, those three children should have met with Hen, right?"

Cocolia murmured to herself, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

Before meeting Shihen, she still had doubts about whether to entrust Bronya and the others to the boy.

But after meeting him, she was absolutely certain that the boy would become an excellent captain.

The child's radiance was so dazzling that even she found it somewhat overwhelming.

Although she didn't particularly like Shihen's praise of Welt, Cocolia had to admit that Welt was indeed a hero.

A young man who aspires to be like such a hero must be a trustworthy person.

It's a pity they were never meant to be...

Thinking of this, Cocolia couldn't help but sigh.

The justice she champions is one that can be achieved at the expense of a minority.

As long as it can save the world and the majority of people, a certain degree of sacrifice is permissible.

Therefore, after discovering that the X-10 experiment could only make progress by using a host body with excellent Honkai energy adaptability, she informed Bronya and others about the experiment.

As expected, Bronya and the others agreed to the experiment after some consideration.

These children must also support their mother, right?

Thinking of the sacrifices made by those children, Cocolia felt a warmth in her heart.

Unfortunately, perhaps she neglected to pay attention to the children, which led to what happened between Anne and Bronya.

If Seele hadn't bravely stood up to stop her, Bronya's legs probably still wouldn't be healed by now.

Sigh, I hope these kids can get along well with Hen.

Cocolia could only pray in her heart.

crunch--

The office door opened, and a girl with short, light blonde hair walked in carrying some documents.

Is something bothering Mom?

Seeing the complex expression on Cocolia's face, the girl asked softly.

“It’s Peggy.” Cocolia smiled when she saw the girl. “It’s nothing, I was just thinking about something.”

The other person is just a child, so she can handle some things on her own.

"That's it."

Peggy nodded slightly, placed the documents she was holding on the table, and her gaze unconsciously swept over the papers in front of Cocolia, her expression changing slightly.

On the A4 sheets of paper spread out in front of the female warlord were the information of Bronya and others, and the face of a certain boy stood out so conspicuously.

"What's wrong, Peggy?"

Noticing the girl's expression, Cocolia asked with concern.

"...Mom, who is this?"

Pointing to the boy's photo on the page, Peggy couldn't help but ask, her heart pounding with anxiety.

Since they parted ways more than six months ago, she never imagined she would see news of him in a place like this again.

"Ah, you mean Hen?" Cocolia suddenly realized, a gentle smile appearing on her face. "He's our young hero from Anti-Entropy, and perhaps he'll become the best mecha pilot in the future."

Although in today's Anti-Entropy, it's impossible to find a mecha pilot more outstanding than the boy.

However, the boy still lacked a mecha that could truly symbolize himself.

The Falcon from the Godfather series alone is far from enough to support the foundation of an ace.

“Is...is that so?” Peggy asked hesitantly, somewhat surprised. “He…he looks like…”

Her lips moved, but the girl couldn't utter a single complete sentence.

She wanted to hear more about the boy, but was also afraid that her unusual behavior would attract Cocolia's attention.

"Does Peggy like this type of boy?"

Seeing the girl's expression, as if she wanted to speak but didn't know where to begin, Cocolia couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

Girls around thirteen or fourteen years old are indeed at the age where they start to develop an interest in boys.

Thinking of her own youthful days and the children growing up in the orphanage, Cocolia's smile softened instantly.

"No, no..."

Peggy shook her head repeatedly and quickly denied it.

She wasn't sure what kind of feelings she should have for the boy.

The other person saved her, but seemed indifferent to her.

Filled with gratitude, goodwill, and a hint of dissatisfaction, Peggy was lost in confusion.

"It's alright, there's nothing to be ashamed of." Seeing the girl's expression, Cocolia's tone softened even more. "Right now, Hen is Bronya's captain. But when the opportunity arises, I'll arrange for you to interact with him more often."

It's not that I want Peggy to use her beauty on the boy or anything like that, it's just that they are both young people, and it's never a bad thing for them to get to know each other better.

"Um……"

Peggy lowered her head deeply and responded in a voice barely audible.

-------------------------------------

The night is getting darker.

She turned on the desk lamp, carefully opened a blue-covered notebook, pondered for a moment, and then began to write down today's diary entries.

This was a habit she developed more than six months ago after encountering that [Walter White].

Before long, Seele finished writing a diary entry, closed the pen and put it away. Her fingers unconsciously fell on the stigmata on her chest, gently stroking the white ring around it:

"My other self, can you hear me?"

I met a really amazing person today. He's my and Bronya's new captain, and his name is Shihen.

By the way, he's different from us; the surname comes before his given name.

Remember not to make a mistake, or the captain will be angry.

Also, although it's strange that both of his hands are wrapped in bandages, he's actually a very nice person, and the injury to his arms was caused by training too hard.

Although the captain and Anzu didn't get along very well, I could tell that he was a very gentle person.

If you wake up in the future, you will definitely be able to become good friends with him.

......"

While thinking, Seele rambled on for a long time before pausing slightly at the end and adding, "Since you fell asleep, I've slowly become stronger."

When Xing pushed Bronya down the stairs, I also stood up to stop her, even though I was still very scared.

But no matter what, I will try my best to become stronger, strong enough to protect Bronya, the other children in the orphanage, and... protect you.

So please wake up! I have so much to tell you.

After saying this, Xier finally let out a long sigh, turned off the light, lay down on the bed, placed her hands on her chest, and slowly closed her eyes:

Goodnight, my other self.

-------------------------------------

In another dormitory, Peggy had just finished showering and was about to rest when she stepped out of the bathroom and saw a familiar figure sitting on a chair by the window. She was stunned and her body felt as if it had been struck by an electric current, rendering her unable to move.

"It's been a long time, Peggy."

Looking at the blank-faced girl in front of him, Shihen smiled slightly and greeted her. The corners of his mouth curled up like a devil who could see through people's hearts under the light.

Chapter 75 A Team with Absolutely No Coordination

It was late at night at the port.

Gazing at the now silent dock, Shihen's expression hardened slightly. He turned his head and looked at the three girls beside him: "Our mission target this time is a criminal gang that resells Honkai energy weapons. Don't rush to attack when you encounter the enemy. Remember to wait for me to come and join you."

have you understood? "

"Bronya knows."

The gray-haired girl said expressionlessly.

“Seele remembered it too.”

The blue-haired girl nodded solemnly, tightly gripping the enormous scythe that seemed completely at odds with her own demeanor.

"I remember this matter very clearly."

The girl with purple-pink hair stood with one hand on her hip, her expression full of arrogance.

Shihen glanced at the arrogant Xing and the nervous Seele, then looked at the gray-haired girl with no expression on her face: "A cute girl like Bronya would probably look even prettier when she smiles."

Faced with these somewhat flippant words, Bronya shook her head: "Bronya's central nervous system was damaged in an experiment, so she is unable to make any expressions."

"That's it."

Nodding knowingly, Shihen's gaze swept over the girl's lower body.

Hmm, there's no external armor on the legs, does that mean the little drama on the stairs didn't happen?

While speculating in his mind, Shihen didn't pay much attention to it.

Duck's growth has always been reassuring and doesn't require much interference; it's Seele who needs more attention.

Looking at the blue-haired girl beside him, nervously holding a sickle, Shihen had a long-standing grumbling in his heart, but he didn't know where to begin.

She has a gentle and delicate demeanor, like a rabbit, yet her weapon is a large scythe. Is this some kind of cute contrast?

"In short, just like we said before. Seele and I will be in one group, and Bronya and Annie will be in another. We'll split up, understand?"

Putting aside all those random thoughts in his mind, Shihen asked with a serious expression.

The location given by the intelligence was rather vague, so they had to split up to find the target location as quickly as possible.

Upon hearing the captain's words, all three nodded in unison, even Xing, who was usually unruly and difficult to discipline, became more obedient.

There was no way around it; if she dared to talk back, the boy really would dare to hit her.

Unable to defeat her opponent for the time being, the girl had no choice but to give in.

"This is our seventh squad's first mission. I'll emphasize again, don't rush into action when you encounter the enemy," Shi Hen said solemnly. "You are my team members, and protecting you is my duty. I will do everything I can to prevent you from getting hurt."

Bronya doesn't need protection.

The gray-haired girl was the first to disagree.

In the worldview of the Ural Silver Wolf, there is no concept of comrades-in-arms; she alone is enough to complete the mission.
