Honkai Impact 3rd: I Want to Be Reincarnate as a Beibeilong

Afraid...

Bella pondered for a moment after hearing this.

She already had some guesses.

Xier looked at Theresa with some doubt, "Afraid? Afraid of what?"

Theresa said in a deep voice, "He is afraid that one day he will stand in the same position as the priest and face the same choice as him."

"He is afraid that he will inflict his past pain on another child."

"After all, that is a shadow he cannot forget."

Bella looked at Theresa, "So when Mrs. Liesel proposed to adopt Joachim, did he agree..."

Theresa nodded.

Bronya shook her head: "He's running away."

Theresa sighed, "Maybe leaving here and a new life will allow him to start over."

Bella shook her head, "But this way, he will never be able to untie the knot."

Theresa looked at Bella and the other two, "Many times we understand the truth, but there are some things in our hearts that are hard to let go."

"If it were you or me, we wouldn't be able to let it go all at once."

Theresa's words seemed to remind Bronya of something.

Bronya fell silent.

Then, Theresa sighed, "Having said that, I still don't want to see Joachim's gloomy look. He wasn't like this before."

"I want to help him, after all, he is a family member of us and the priest."

Speaking of this, Theresa seemed to remember something.

Theresa looked outside in confusion, "... Speaking of which, it's so dark now, the priest should have come back a long time ago."

"It's strange, I'll go out and take a look."

Bella looked outside.

Indeed.

It was getting dark outside.

After thinking for a while, Bella looked at Theresa, "Theresa, let's go with you."

Theresa hesitated, "This..."

Bella smiled, "Don't worry, I might be stronger than you."

Theresa thought about it, and finally nodded helplessly, "Okay, but don't go too far."

Bella nodded, "Don't worry, the three of us will look for the priest's trace together."

After walking out of the wooden house, Theresa pointed in a direction, "Bella, you search over there, remember to return when you reach the end."

Bella and the other two nodded and walked in the direction Theresa pointed.

Bella looked at the traces around her and said, "Bronya, what do you think of what Theresa said just now?"

Bronya thought for a while, "Bronya believes that the key to unlocking this world lies in how to untie Joachim's knot."

Bella nodded, "That's right."

"From Theresa's words, Joachim seems to be afraid that one day he will stand in the same position as Otto..."

"But he chose to escape... It seems that we have to find a way to let Joachim face these problems next."

"I guess when Joachim no longer escapes in his heart and truly faces and solves these problems, the world will be unlocked."

Hearing this, Xier looked at Bella with some doubts, "But sister Bella, how can we make Joachim stop running away?"

Bella sighed and smiled bitterly, "That's what I want to ask."

"Joachim will leave the orphanage tomorrow... The time is too short."

"I guess if we don't solve Joachim's heart knot before he leaves the orphanage, then this world will fall into a cycle like the previous world."

Bella shook her head, "Forget it, don't think about it."

"If you want to solve Joachim's heart knot, Otto is indispensable. We have to find Otto quickly."

Bella left Bronya and the others and walked forward quickly.

Looking at Bella in front of her, Bronya was slightly distracted when she remembered what Bella had just said.

Escape...

Stepping on the snow, Bronya kept thinking of Theresa's words just now.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the pure white earth, and Bronya seemed to see the scene of her first meeting with her mother seven years ago.

That memory that she could not let go of has now become her painful shackles.

Bronya lowered her eyes slightly.

Things that are hard to let go... are the same for Bronya...

Just then, someone pulled Bronya's clothes.

Bronya was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up, she saw Seele's somewhat worried eyes, "Sister Bronya, are you okay?"

"You seem to be a little worried since just now..."

"Seele... I..."

Bronya didn't know how to talk to Seele.

But Seele seemed to notice this and gently held Bronya's hand.

SeeleHe smiled at the stunned Bronya, "Will this be better?"

"When I was scared before, Sister Bronya would hold my hand like this."

"Sister's hands are warm, and Seele is no longer afraid."

"Seele..."

Seele smiled, "If it is a painful thing, don't think about it."

"Seele will always be with Sister Bronya, just like Sister used to be with Seele."

"...Thank you, Seele, Bronya is fine now."

Bronya closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.

"It's just a little confusion, but Bronya has decided to face it."

"It's a bit far from Bella, let's catch up."

Bella in front quickly put away her eavesdropping ears.

He nodded secretly in his heart.

Sure enough, if you want Bronya to regain her confidence, you still have to let Seele come.

He didn't even bother to create a private environment for the two of them.

Seele, who was behind Bronya, looked at Bronya's back, but the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

"..."

[Well done, Seele...]

[We are very close to our goal...]

"Is it really right to do this?"

[It's okay, Seele~]

[Everything we do is just to leave here and return to reality with my sister. ]

"..."

"... Seele understands..."

...

Bella looked around, "It's the end, there is no trace of Otto's passing... It seems that Otto didn't come here, let's go back."

Bronya and Seele nodded.

But when Bella and the other two returned to the orphanage, they did not find Theresa.

Bella frowned, "Has Theresa not come back yet?"

Bronya looked around and pointed to a place, "There are some traces over there. Theresa should have gone to the other side of the hill."

Bella thought about it and nodded, "Let's go over there too."

But as they approached the hillside, the three heard a faint shout.

This was Theresa's voice.
