Sun in the Star Iron, my marshal mother

The time moved to evening, when the sun was setting and the sunset glow was brilliant.

During the fateful battle that day, the thick snow clouds that had accumulated over the entire Beloberg for hundreds of years were completely blown away by [The Last Sound of Creation], and have not completely gathered again until today, allowing everyone to bathe in the afterglow of the sunset that they had never seen in the past, and walk into the streets in groups of three or two, and gather in the square of the administrative district.

This place is already crowded with people. It can be said that all the citizens of Beloberg, as long as they do not have important matters that cannot be postponed, have chosen to come here - to listen to Bronya's inauguration speech and to witness the new future of Beloberg.

As more people came, the scene naturally became noisy. Hook was shouting and holding his hole-drilling machine, trying to knock down the huge iron monster and rescue the citizens eaten by it, while Clara hurriedly stopped the little girl who was charging at the bus; Lingke, Pera, and Shiluva did not come to the square, but opened the window on the second floor of the machinery house, eating desserts while looking at the crowded scene; Xier stood beside Natasha as if being told something; Lin En and his group also chose a suitable place to chat while waiting for the official start of the lecture.

What is more interesting is that those Sun Cultists who preach everywhere also occupy a large area in the square. A tall woman with blue hair stands at the front of the believers, with her eyes closed and a solemn expression in thought. Judging from the respectful attitude of others towards her, she should be the so-called Pope Posa.

"Iron Guards, line up!"

Not long after, amid the loud shouts of the Iron Guard announcer, Oleg, who had put on the Iron Guard uniform again, and Jeppard led the team out of Klipper Castle, surrounding the noble silver-haired girl and walking onto the rostrum.

As Bronya appeared on stage, the audience suddenly became more noisy, with applause and cheers ringing out.

"Ah, are we going to start?"

"Don't make any noise, don't make any noise, this is the most important part!"

“Wuhu, Commander Bronya has become the Great Guardian, good times are coming!

There has never been a better start!"

"Lynn, do you have any ketchup? I can't eat French fries without ketchup."

"Claw!"

"Lady Bronya Rand's inauguration speech is about to begin - citizens, please remain quiet and help maintain order at the scene!"

Bronya bathed in the amber afterglow of the setting sun, which seemed to make everything boil and melt. Her dark grey eyes were rippling as she stared at the people below the stage.

No matter what kind of hardships she has gone through, Beloberg has survived it all. Her greatest wish has been for everyone to gather together and cheer for the new era.

Bronya took a deep breath, placed her left hand gently on her chest to feel her heartbeat, and then she spoke softly. Her gentle yet strong voice resounded throughout the square.

"Citizens of Belloburg, listen to me.

Over the past seven hundred years, we have experienced all kinds of hardships, but we have never surrendered. Instead, we have kept trying and fighting until today when the snow clouds have dissipated and the winter is about to end.

Thanks to the efforts of the Silver Mane Guard, the Underfire members, everyone in the Upper and Lower City, and the help of friends who deserve praise, [Star Core], the evil that has plagued this city for seven hundred years, has been driven out of our homeland, and Beloberg has opened a new chapter in history. The wind and snow outside the city wall will gradually subside, and the expansion of the Rift will surely be suppressed by the offensive of the Iron Guard.

All of this is worth cheering and celebrating, but at the same time, please do not forget that although the war is over, we still have a long way to go.

Trapped in the wind and snow for more than 700 years, Beloberg was already on the verge of collapse. Having experienced such a great war, countless wounded people needed treatment, martyrs needed to be buried, heroes needed to be remembered, homes needed to be revived, and the future was yet to be opened up... These were the inevitable consequences of the disaster and the difficulties that the people after the disaster had to overcome.

Time waits for no one, my friends."

At this point, Bronya's voice paused slightly.

Although it is common sense that one should not talk about negative things when giving a speech when taking office as the Grand Guardian, Bronya wants to confess everything and face everything ahead together with all the people.

“But I think, as a great guardian, I am much luckier than every great guardian in the past seven hundred years, and the same is true for you, because compared to them, we have the most precious treasure—that is hope!

Friends, even if the road is long and difficult, even if the wind and snow are strong, even if the night is long, we will no longer be afraid or confused - because we know that winter is coming to an end and warm spring is coming! "

The last ray of sunset light in the sky had completely disappeared below the horizon. Bronya stood in the twilight and spoke calmly:

"Some people told me that my inauguration ceremony should be held in the morning, when the sun has just risen, symbolizing new hope, but I insisted on choosing now, when the long night is coming.

Because I know that the long night will eventually break, and the sun will rise again no matter what. The sun will always rise again, the sun will rise again!

Friends, let us praise the sun together!

Let us praise the sunrise of tomorrow when the long night comes! Let us praise our city that will rise like the sun!

Let us all - praise this unshakable Belloberg!"

When Bronya finished her speech, the entire square fell into a moment of silence, but after the silence there was even more enthusiastic cheers and applause.

"Praise the sun! Praise Great Guardian Bronya! Praise Beloberg!"

"Lady Bronya! Lady Bronya! Beloberg, forever standing!"

Yes, just as Bronya said, no matter what, the sun will rise again!

...............

The next day, the sun did not rise again.

Chapter 4: Fireworks of the Celebration, Esta's Thousand-Layered Routine k

"How did you feel about Duck's speech?"

Sitting at the edge of the administrative district, Lynn, who had just finished listening to Bronya's inaugural speech, asked Cocolia.

At this moment, Cocolia still maintains the form of Klee. The little elf girl in a red four-leaf clover dress is sitting in Lynn's arms, looking up at Bronya who is the focus of everyone's attention. Her deep purple eyes are filled with a tenderness that is completely inconsistent with her young appearance.

“It’s much better than I thought.”

Kokolia whispered softly, "I am glad to see that she did not wallow in sorrow, but stepped over my body to lead Beloberg to face the suffering of this land, and is about to cross it."

Frankly speaking, Cocolia felt that Bronya did even better than herself. The radiance radiated by Bronya at this moment made her think again whether everything would have ended differently if she had been stronger back then.

That’s it, it’s all over.

Cocolia shook her head slightly and gave up this useless fantasy.

After all, for her, and for the entire Beloberg, this might be the best ending.

Embracing the girl's slender waist, Lin En rested his chin on her shoulder and rubbed it gently, feeling Cocolia's skin which was more tender and soft than her normal form, and asked a question that should have been asked long ago:

"During the rift, your condition seemed a little off. What happened?"

"Did you notice?"

"Nonsense, I worked so hard to create you!"

Lin En bit the girl's earlobe lightly in annoyance, causing her delicate body to twist unconsciously:

“It’s nothing serious. I just found that maybe it’s because my soul has been deeply integrated with the star core. Even after changing this body, I still have a certain control over the rift. Although it’s not as powerful as the Mother of Illusion, it can be of great help to the Iron Guard in dealing with the rift if handled properly.

At that time, I was trying to adjust the layout of the Iron Guard restricted area rift, wanting to leave some safe rest areas in it to facilitate the Iron Guards' counterattack, but I was careless and rushed and suffered a little backlash. "

"Okay, just be careful."

Lin En didn't want to comment too much on Cocolia's actions.

Even though she had died once, she still felt quite guilty towards Beloberg, and always wanted to do more for him, even if no one knew about her achievements and sacrifices.

"Lin En, why are you and Ke Li hiding here?"

The pink-haired girl walked out of the crowd carrying a drink. She handed the bag to Lin En and slightly gathered her skirt before sitting down on the bench next to him. She supported her chin with one hand and looked at Lin En and the petite blonde girl sitting in his arms with a smile.

Although it was the first time they met, she liked this well-behaved and cute girl very much.

"Hello, Sister Esther~"

Cocolia raised her voice and imitated the voice of "Hua Ling" that Lin En played for her to greet Ester, which made the girl couldn't help but smile and rub the girl's elastic face:

"Cute~"

While Estelle and Kelly were having a loving interaction, Lin En opened the plastic bag and found that there were only two drinks inside. He tilted his head and looked at Estelle in confusion:

"Two?"

"That's right, because I prepared this!"

As if it was some kind of precious treasure, Esta took out a Y-shaped straw from another package and waved it in front of Lynn. It was dusk at this moment and the street lights had not yet come on, so the girl's slightly red face was not so obvious.

After all, they will be meeting their parents soon. If they are still stuck in the same mediocre relationship and neither of them makes any further progress, then they will definitely be exposed in front of Esther's parents.

That is why Esta specifically bought Y-shaped straws for couples to use at the beverage shop, and the other hot drink was naturally prepared for the cute little Klee.

Little girl, just sit by and drink your milk tea, don’t disturb your sister from her love life!

"I love you so much my lady!"

After saying this, which made the girl's pretty face blush even more, Lin En took the Y-shaped straw from Estelle and smiled happily:

"You understand me, Esther. I wanted to buy this too."

"Hey, you better be quick next time."

Hearing that Lin En was also going to take the initiative, although Esther was a little happy in her heart, she still pretended to be in a bad temper.

"Don't let girls take the initiative in everything, it will deduct points..."

Unfortunately, before the girl could finish her words, Lin En's next action completely disrupted her thinking rhythm.

Lin En first picked up Kelly who was sitting on his lap, then straightened the two spiral heads of the Y-shaped straw with his hands to extend it further, so that he could directly insert the two heads into a cup of drink. He bit the bottom head of the Y-shaped straw and took a deep sip.

Estelle: “Huh?”

Feeling the coolness and unique taste of the two different flavors of iced drinks blending together in his mouth, Lin En breathed a sigh of satisfaction.

“Wow, such pure ice! It’s so cool to drink iced drinks in Bello Berg!

And I drank two cups by myself, I felt like I was flying! Estelle, you really understand!"

Seeing Lin En happily giving her a thumbs up, Ester fell into a long silence. She didn't know what to say anymore, and she couldn't tell whether Lin En was really that serious or was simply having fun in this way.

However, the girl's daze did not last long, because Lin En had already come over with a cold drink, handed the straw to her mouth, and said with a smile:

"Esther, why don't you try it? It's really awesome!"

The sudden turn surprised Ester a little, but the next moment she realized that she seemed to have underestimated Lin En - this guy was not stupid at all, he obviously wanted to skip using couple straws and fast forward to the indirect kiss!

"What a bad intention..."

After mumbling to herself in an almost undetectable voice, the girl lowered her head slightly, stretched out her fingers to tuck her falling hair behind her ears, and opened her little mouth slightly to take the straw handed to her by Lin En.

It was icy and cool, but not enough to cool the girl's hot cheeks.

“Indeed, it feels pretty good.”

The girl loosened her lips, her eyes as blue as the sky narrowed slightly, as if she was still enjoying the cool and sweet aftertaste.

"Right, right, I said this is super cool."

As he spoke, Lin En took another deep breath, and Kelly had already wisely climbed down from the bench and disappeared into the crowd.

This is also one of the reasons why Lin En likes Cocolia very much. This woman is too rational and knows how to judge the situation. She never asks for anything on her own initiative, but truly serves him as the so-called "benefactor".

Although there were some subtle deviations in the specific details, Lynn and Ester successfully experienced the joy brought by the Y-shaped straw, highlighting the absurd feeling that no matter what the code is like, as long as it can run, it is a victory.

Suddenly, Esta looked up at the sky as if she suddenly remembered something.

As time passed, the twilight sky gradually gave way to the depth of the night, and the citizens of Beloberg, who were in high spirits, also turned on the lights and continued their celebration of the beautiful new era.

"Hehe, let me add a little more atmosphere to this grand celebration!"

Esta stood up from the bench, raised her hand high, smiled brightly, and said loudly:

"Fireworks are coming~~~"

As if some invisible mechanism was triggered, the moment the girl's voice rang out, several meteors suddenly streaked across the originally silent night sky. However, they did not actually fall to the earth. Instead, they turned into brilliant fireworks halfway through and illuminated the entire night sky, like thousands of shining trees and falling star rain.

The sudden brilliant fireworks made everyone in the square couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and they all looked up to gaze at the unprecedented brilliant fireworks.

The pink-haired girl stood with the fireworks and star showers against the backdrop of the crowd, with one hand on her hip and the other making a "V" sign, showing her most beautiful smile to Lin En without reservation.

At this moment, Lin En suddenly felt that his level was still too low. His self-righteous cleverness was completely incomparable to the beautiful picture created by Esta.

This woman is just too good, it’s totally impossible to beat her!

Wait a minute, wouldn’t it be better if you can’t beat him?

Wouldn't it be possible for Miss Estella to play with me as much as she wants??????, and for me to marry into her family and live off her?

After figuring this out, Lin En suddenly felt enlightened.

As long as I admit my weakness, I will be invincible!

Lin En, who thought he was invincible, stood up and took Esta's hand. While enjoying the gorgeous fireworks with her, he asked curiously:

"What kind of fireworks are these? They can actually be set off in the atmosphere. I want to buy some and bring them back to the Immortal Boat to play with. Then I can perform a bombardment of the Shen Ce Palace!"

"Hey, this isn't fireworks."

Esta narrowed her eyes and smiled slyly, "I left a research ship in low-Earth orbit. These fireworks are actually the imaginary energy cluster bombs used in orbital bombing that entered the atmosphere and were detonated in advance. The residents of this half of the planet can see them clearly. Isn't it beautiful~"

"really."

Lynn nodded with a twitching mouth.

The imaginary energy cluster bombs used in orbital bombardment are not "nuclear-friendly" things just by listening to the name. Estelle actually used them as fireworks, and it seemed that she threw a lot of them in one breath. Lin En conservatively estimated that this amount was enough to flatten dozens of Belobergs.
