Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

In this case, if you take a trip, you will always have a chance to tell me.

And...the Herrscher...

Bronya clenched her hands subconsciously.

...

Long sighed slightly.

He could completely feel Bronya's mood swings.

Some things can't be forced, just like the time difference that Xilin made in the past made it regrettable that she couldn't completely save everyone.

Regret cannot be erased...well, not now.

let it go.

I believe Sirin, they can get along, but... Bronya must understand those things.

...

Not long after, the four of them returned to where everyone was.

Picnic camp on this grassy slope.

It turned out that today, Long and Alicia took the children from the Cocolia Orphanage out for a picnic, so they came to a mountain peak not very far from the orphanage, only a few kilometers away.

There was laughter here, on the huge clean floor in the camp, the nearby creek, woods, and flowers.

Dozens of children, led by a few older boys and girls around [-] or [-] years old, were scattered around the area to have fun.

Bronya took all this into consideration quickly.

In that information, there was a record of the Cocolia Orphanage.

However, the optimism and cheerfulness of these children still exceeded their expectations.

[...It seems that everything I have seen since I arrived here has been beyond my expectations. 】

Bronya complained to herself in her heart.

It’s not like I have never seen orphanages and welfare homes. The church has helped and established many institutions in this area.

Although under the management of the church, of course, there will be no bullying like that.

But...the children there are compared to those here.

There are obvious differences that can be seen at a glance.

The children here have indescribable temperament expressions and movements, etc., as if they are not children in an orphanage at all, but children with complete families and complete beautiful childhoods who come to participate in the spring outing.

Bronya began to waver.

Because according to what was written in the intelligence, the Cocolia Orphanage was a military support institution established by Cocolia to cultivate its own super-powered private army.

It is absolutely impossible to raise these children, it is absolutely impossible to raise a girl like Sile Fleur.

The military training institution that the Cocolia woman wants to establish will definitely be tough and merciless.

...

"Well...what a beautiful person."

Bronya, who was good at keeping her emotions calm, couldn't help but sigh after seeing this scene.

Beside the long portable table, Alicia, wearing a long white dress with a waistband, was playing with several children while preparing ingredients. Ai was also there.

Alicia put a drop of water on the tip of Ai's nose, which made Ai stop her with a sweet sound. The scene was very lively.

The perfect combination of stillness and movement is unimaginable to appear in a woman at the same time.

The straw hat hung on her back, slightly covered by Alicia's long pink hair that was tied up. Together with her white waisted dress with few decorations, it gave her a good sense of tranquility.

But her expressions and movements while playing with the children, and her laughter in the sunshine, all give her a high sense of movement.

That vitality and playfulness that belongs to a girl.

This combination is really charming.

She is much more beautiful than in the profile photos and videos...

Bronya came back to her senses and saw the corners of Long's raised lips, and subconsciously complained: "Knowing that she is your wife, you just know how to show off. She is no different from those people."

"If you don't take good care of your treasures, they may be stolen."

Bronya's complaints were really awesome and made Long laugh.

Then she deftly avoided Long's frequent head-touching movements towards these children.

Long took back his hand and still smiled and said: "No one else can ever take away what is mine. What is not mine will never belong to me from the beginning. And she and I are the kind of people that even death can't separate." "

Bronya shook her head: "I don't understand. When a person dies, there is nothing."

"Not only love, but human emotions and feelings will not disappear out of thin air. It will only be transferred, psychologically rejected or physiologically forgotten. Similarly, it will not disappear with the disappearance of life. Because it has been in other people's lives. The memory left in the human heart is profound enough that others will remember the moment of their death.”

"The development and growth of the human group has always been like this. It doesn't matter Bronya, you are very smart, but you are only ten years old after all. Don't worry, people will grow up and you will understand in the future."

"Xier, you too."

Takashi looked at Alicia and said to Bronya and Seele in front of him.

"Oh..." Xi'er, who seemed to understand but didn't understand at all, remembered what Long said and nodded.

Up, down, deep: 198. Alicia’s specialty

Bronya retracted her gaze from Long and continued to scan the paradise while heading to Alicia's location with them.

[It’s not easy to convince me with this. 】

[Such a scene may not be regarded as a part of cultivating loyal soldiers. Maybe the effect will be better than those adopted by the Russian army, which are blindly tough training...]

Bronya thought so.

This is the result of looking at something from a different perspective, let alone shooting an arrow first and then drawing a target.

To completely shake Bronya, you need to add more fire, but this is easy for Long.

Because the ten truths and nine falsehoods of those people are just "false" based on their perception that they are difficult to see through.

It just so happens that this "fake" has absolute "truth" here in Long

It's enough to overthrow their carefully compiled "storybook"

People cannot imagine out of thin air what they have not "perceived".

Just like many secret organizations in the world at the beginning, they only knew that a very powerful guy appeared in the world, a guy who was strong enough to easily stop meteorites and shoot out a pillar of flame across thousands of kilometers. And the church and that guy Related, but they have no idea who the guy is.

Only organizations such as Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and World Snake, which are closely connected with Long, know that this guy is Long.

The relationship between the church and the A·L Club is also one of the most profound secrets in the world, and even fewer people know about it.

It is only Otto of Destiny, the Three Giants of Anti-Entropy and Cocolia, and everyone in the New Life and Fire Chaser Moth who know about it.

As for the existence of the new Fire Chasing Moth, even Destiny and Counter-Entropy don't know about it. They only know about A·L Club.

Otto may be able to detect the traces, but his focus is not on this now, but on the more critical things planned by Long and him.

These guys still think that A.L. is just a despicable guy who took advantage of the opportunity and is no different from the way the United States treated Europe in the last century. It relies on funds and industrial rescue from the recovery plan, supplemented by political manipulation and bribery to control the entire country. Russia.

That's why they dared to make a plan like this.

In their understanding, [Affiliates] like Bronya can easily deal with Cocolia, and ordinary people like Long and Alicia, and they will not expose themselves.

However, Bronya still lacks "knowledge" about all this.

But Long will tell her and establish her "cognition"

...

"Ellie, we're back."

"Welcome~ Have you rescued the injured person?"

"Well, Bronya." Long said, turning slightly to get out of the way.

Bronya was stunned on the spot. She was slightly surprised and even dropped her arms. She didn't know what to do.

Do you want to say hello to Alicia directly?

This was a bit reluctant for her who still didn't understand and was full of doubts.

Finally, he managed to squeeze out a sound: "Uh... um..." He stood there awkwardly.

But I didn't expect Alicia to be so considerate. She had already noticed Bronya's restraint. She took the initiative to pick up a clean handkerchief and wiped off the water on her hands. She walked lively to Bronya and squatted down in front of her. She was overjoyed: "You are Bronya, right~ What a lovely child, much cuter than it looks in the photo."

"Well..." Bronya responded, not surprised. What he said when she first met Long already showed that the two of them had complete control of their information.

Alicia still smiled at Bronya's perfunctory response and was not angry.

"Hmm~ I'm still as irresistible to cute children as ever." She said and raised her hand to touch Bronya's head.

But Bronya dodged it deftly, just like she had dodged Long before when he wanted to touch her head.

"Yeah - is Bronya afraid of me?"

"..."

This woman's approachability and unreasonable expression of affection made Bronya a little wary.

Even Bronya almost said: "No"

She had to respond with silence.

But when it comes to silence, Ellie is the best at it.

"Bronya's silence is really hurtful~ I obviously thought about how to greet you and found an opening line that won't make you feel disconnected."

"Does Bronya think I'm talking too much? That's right. I'm preparing for this very seriously."

"..."

Bronya became more and more unable to hold back, especially when she was stared at by Alicia's amethyst-like crystal clear, mysterious and shining eyes. The burning kindness made Bronya subconsciously start to escape. .

Inadvertently, Bronya changed from looking directly at Alicia's eyes to glancing at her from time to time, and then became blurry and avoided Alicia's sight.

But again, Alicia can speak.

Facing Bronya, whose vision was blurred, Alicia raised her hand and waved in front of her eyes and said: "Ara~ Bronya can look at me more openly. After all, I have been watching too." Following you."

"Or do you think Bronya wants to play games with me when we first meet you? I didn't expect you to be so naughty, but no matter how naughty you are, I won't be angry."

"No, it's not..." Bronya couldn't stand it at all. The feeling of being treated like a child was really uncomfortable, even though she was indeed only ten years old...

After saying that, I realized that I had completely failed...

The beautiful woman squatting in front of him and looking at him with a smile spoke again: "How about a formal self-introduction?" Before Bronya agreed, Alicia said: "My name is Alicia. It means eternal paradise. Don’t call me by the wrong name, otherwise I will be angry~”

"What about you, cute little bunny?"

This time, Bronya did not avoid Alicia's touch.

Alicia straightened her bangs, straightened her collar and hood, and touched the spiral ponytail on the back of her head... These actions reminded Bronya of her mother's daily care I go to a church school and see myself in front of the gate, and the teacher in charge of preschool education in the church sees me every morning.

Bronya opened her mouth, but closed it again without making any sound. After a few hesitations, she made up her mind and said, "My name is Bronya."

"Bronya Zayček."

"A...freelance mercenary."

Alicia's expression was very happy and she nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, yeah, great, Bronya."

She stood up again and stretched out her hand to Bronya and said: "Well Bronya, can you handle the ingredients? How about learning to cook with us?"

Bronya paused, looked at the hand in front of her, and almost put it on it.

Fortunately, he reacted and did not take Alicia's hand, but walked straight to the place where the ingredients were prepared.

"It seems that Bronya is a very independent child, which is very good."

Even so, Alicia's words of praise still reached Bronya's ears completely clearly, making her feel a strange feeling of joy and shyness at the same time.

Up and down, go to the deepest: 199. Solving doubts

Long leaned against a boulder on the grassy slope and sat there feeling the wind blowing.
