"Hah... But that's it.

Xi'er looked at the disappearing outer universe ice and said with disdain.

"We are righteous three-on-one."

Luo Bai shook his head to shake off the thoughts in his mind, and subconsciously quipped.

"Hmph, I can handle any of them. It's just time-consuming.

Xi'er habitually shook back with her hands on her waist, looked around and continued.

"But the surroundings should be clean now, let's look inside."

"In the corner over there, I vaguely remember that there was still some inventory. When we were young, we used to make trouble outdoors, and skin trauma was a common thing.

"I hope the supplies weren't destroyed by that guy just now."

She sighed softly.

“... Not an illusion.

Bronia's untimely voice sounded, making people completely scratch their heads.

"Huh? What are you talking about?

Xi'er asked with a confused look.

"This building, and the play facilities for these little kids... I've seen it.

Bronia replied with a frown.

"Huh? Less come, the upper and lower layers have been blocked for more than ten years, and a silver-maned iron guard has not come down.

Xi'er said reasonably.

"When a young lady like you comes underground, it's definitely big news."

"—Wait a minute, is it, before that..." If

the upper and lower areas were not blocked before, maybe there was really this possibility.

“... Well. There is this possibility.

Bronia nodded and said.

"Only this can explain why my memory is so blurry."

"Let's go, I'll have to look around a little more to confirm my guess..."

said Bronia walking alone in front, constantly looking around.

Luo Bai and Xi'er slowly followed behind and did not disturb her loudly.

Not long after, they came to a corner with all kinds of debris piled up around them.

"I found this, you take it."

Xi'er put the scythe in her hand aside and picked out a gadget from the debris.

"What is this... Brooch?

Bronia asked with some uncertainty.

"Natasha often taught us to do crafts, which should be the masterpiece of some child."

Xi'er replied without care.

"Why give it to me?"

Bronia asked again.

"Didn't you give that medal to Eric before? It's not that valuable, but it's a substitute.

Xi'er spread out her hands and replied.

"But that's what other people have worked so hard to do, right? If you take it away like this..."

Bronia looked at the brooch in her hand and said with some hesitation.

“... You are really rigid, and no one comes back to take it, tell you to accept it.

Xi'er habitually complained.

Then the three of them continued to walk inside, coming to a corner where boxes were stacked.

This is the corner where Xi'er mentioned before when he was a child.

"This is—ah, found it!"

Xi'er opened the closed cargo boxes one by one and found the well-preserved alcohol.

"It turned out to be so well preserved, I guess even Nata didn't expect it."

She said excitedly.

"Although I don't want to hit you, it's better to check the shelf life of alcohol this kind of thing, if it expires, it is useless."

Bronia on the side couldn't help but remind her, and Xi'er nodded in agreement.

"I'll take a few bottles and take a look."

Saying that, she picked up a bottle of alcohol from the inside of her hand, and when she got the second bottle, she found a snowman glass crystal ball inside.

“... Hey? What is it? "

This is..."

Bronia seemed to recall something.

"This is... Something from my childhood.

"You, when you were a child? Are you sure?

Xi'er asked with some disbelief.

"Could it be that when you were a child..."

Luo Bai understood that the time was almost ripe, and pushed on the sidelines.

"Well, I remember now..."

Bronia nodded undeniably and said affirmatively.

"I used to live here—just before the city builders took me away, before Lord Kokolia adopted me—I lived here."

"I... It's the people of the lower districts. She

finally recalled her childhood memories and figured out her own background.

"Are you... People from the lower districts? No, you said Kokolia - you are the adopted daughter of that "Great Guardian"? That—"

Xi'er said incredulously.

"Yes, I am the designated heir of the city builder. In the near future, I will become the "guardian" who leads Belloberg. Bronia

confessed her identity.

Xi'er's mouth was surprised to be able to stuff an apple, far wider than usual.

"Why, why am I just remembering now? My childhood memories are so fuzzy..." Bronia

covered her head with one hand, wanting to remember more memories, but for some reason, she couldn't remember it anyway.

"I think it may have something to do with Kokolia, she did some kind of trick on you."

Luo Bai said the truth of the matter.

"The city builders have said that the selection of the heir to the Guardian is very strict and will be carried out throughout Belloberg."

As soon as Luo Bai's words fell, more memories appeared in Bronia's mind.

"The children in both the upper and lower districts will be tested, and in the end, only one child with 'qualifications' will be selected."

"I'm like... It was here that he was chosen and taken to the ground..." She

finally remembered what happened when she was a child, but the memory was still a little vague.

"I really didn't expect that there would be a future big guardian in the orphanage. Does Nata know about this? Could it be that she has been hiding it..."

Xi'er pinched her chin and lowered her head in deep thought, then raised her head and asked.

"I don't think she knows. The selection of the Guardian heir is absolutely confidential, and the chosen child must say goodbye to the past in its entirety.

Bronia shook her head and replied.

"That's why I became the daughter of Lord Kokolia - I have no other identity than to be the next Guardian."

"But I, I'm too far behind..." In

fact, if the star core is not destroyed, the identity of the next guardian will not exist, and even the planet will be destroyed.

"I know that the lower districts are suffering, but I can help anything."

"The former home has become like this, but I am still completely kept in the dark

..." "In the end, I can't protect anything, so why was I chosen, and how can I be qualified to be the great guardian..."

There was a hint of crying in her voice.

"Hey—did you say enough?"

Xi'er's very unhappy voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Bronia's words.

“... Hey?

Bronia turned her head to look at Ciel.

"Crying and chirping, noisy to death."

Xi'er scolded loudly.

"I..."

Bronia was suddenly speechless.

"What for? Do you think I will sympathize with you?

Xi'er said his own big reason.

"It's good to be alive, "even if you are only half a glimmer of light, illuminate others" - this is what you said.

"Don't you want to protect everyone? Don't you have anything more important to do than crying with me here?

She asked with a serious expression.

"yes, you're right. Self-pity will not solve anything.

Bronia sighed.

"Thank you, Ciel. You were the first to knock me awake when I got into a negative mood, instead of reassuring me on the sidelines.

"Hmph, it won't appease me, but you can wake up as many times as you want."

Xi'er smiled and said.
