She felt as if she had been dreaming.
A very long dream.
In the dream, Bronya saw Seele. She saw what Seele looked like when she grew up, looking both strong and reliable.
But Seele was still in the Sea of Quanta. How could she possibly appear in reality?
A bitter feeling pervaded the dream. That bitterness was like an old wound being torn open again, the pain so intense she could hardly bear it. It instantly shocked Bronya awake.
Then she discovered that she had been captured!
Her body was tightly bound with rough ropes to a chair, her hands tied behind her back. She tried to struggle, but the restraints only tightened.
Fortunately, this kind of binding couldn't hold her. But what made her very unhappy was that the person who tied her up had used the shameful kikkō-shibari (tortoise shell tie). In reality, the knot itself was nothing special, but against it, her chest looked like a complete steel plate.
Humiliation!
The person who tied her up must have done it on purpose!
Noticing her movement, Qian Yi opened the door and appeared before her, asking, "Awake? Have you calmed down a bit?"
"Why didn't you kill me?" Bronya asked.
"Why would I kill you?" Qian Yi tilted his head.
"I see. I'm still useful to you, so it's not time to kill me yet?"
"I won't kill you. I just want to ask you to do something."
"I understand."
"It's a great help if you understand."
"You plan to rape me first, then kill me, right? I get it. You don't have to spare me because I'm a child. Come at me from the front."
Bronya had seen this kind of thing many times before. Many had coveted her body and looks, planning to do lewd things to her, but without exception, they were all killed by her.
Although she didn't have her stockings now to strangle someone, with her two exoskeleton armored legs, if the opponent gave her a chance, she dared to rip his head off!
And on the bed, when the opponent took off his clothes, ready to do her from the front, that would be her chance!
Qian Yi: "?"
When I type out this question mark, it's not because I have a problem, it's because you have a problem.
"What, if you don't like it from the front, you can do it from behind. After all, many people say my face has no emotional fluctuation, which affects the mood. It would be much better if my face was turned away. And I have pigtails, you can grab them like bicycle handlebars and stand up to pedal hard."
Bronya continued to entice him.
At that very moment, the sound of a porcelain cup shattering on the floor was heard. Seele, standing at the door, stared dumbfounded at the two, her brain seemingly receiving an unprecedented shock. She didn't even realize when the black tea she was holding had fallen.
Feeling like she might have interrupted their private moment, Seele subconsciously apologized, "S-sorry, I didn't know you two were in the middle of... that kind of thing."
"Calm down, Seele." Qian Yi soothed Seele's emotions, trying to prevent her from doing anything irrational in her momentary shock and panic.
"Seele?!" Bronya was greatly surprised.
She immediately sized up the girl at the door. Looking closely, she found that the girl's hair color, eyes, and even face were very similar to the Seele in her memory. The only difference was that this girl was much older than the Seele she remembered.
Very suddenly, she felt her heart begin to race.
This little sister... no! I've seen this big sister before!
The girl before her seemed to have some unique magic, beginning to overlap with a figure from her memory.
Looking at the navy-blue-haired girl, Bronya recalled the promise of the Sea of Quanta. Her whole body trembled uncontrollably, not out of fear, but excitement.
The emotional circuits she had long since lost seemed to be reactivated at this moment, trembling wildly. Or rather, those emotional circuits had never left her; they were just sealed away along with the departure of that navy-blue figure.
"You-you-you... you're... Seele?!" Bronya was first in disbelief, then filled with regret.
What have I done?! To say such shameless things in front of Seele! What will Seele think of me now?!
"I-I'll go see if Mei's dinner is ready. You two continue." Seele turned and fled.
"Wait! Seele, it's not what you think! I can explain!!"
Bronya mobilized all her strength to chase after her, but she forgot she was tied to a chair. The burst of strength didn't help her catch up to Seele; instead, it sent her and the chair crashing to the floor with a thud. She could only watch helplessly as Seele's figure disappeared.
Wait! Wait for me!
Seele! Seele is getting away!!
When Seele's figure completely vanished from her sight, Bronya lay limply on the floor, her eyes filled with despair.
"Calm down. It's not too late to go and explain now."
Qian Yi knelt down to untie Bronya. He had to admit, Kiana's tying technique was quite something; it was rather troublesome to untie.
"Thanks." Once untied, Bronya muttered a word of thanks and rushed out the door, searching for Seele's figure.
Watching Bronya rush out, Qian Yi took out his phone and sent a message to Seele.
[Steel 'Lao Da']: @Underworld Head-Spinner, Bronya is looking for you. I'll leave the rest to you.
[Underworld Head-Spinner]: Huh? Weren't you two about to do that kind of thing?
[Steel 'Lao Da']: Do you think I'm Kiana?
[Underworld Head-Spinner]: ....Right.
...
Soon, a navy-blue figure appeared in Bronya's line of sight.
In the soft glow of the setting sun, on a bench under a cherry blossom tree, the girl sat quietly, her brow slightly furrowed, revealing a trace of worry and conflict, like a girl in love waiting for her other half.
While Seele was anxiously rehearsing the words she was about to say, Bronya suddenly rushed up and hugged her. "Seele! I finally, finally found you!"
Seele's face stiffened. "Bronya... on... onee-chan, long time no see."
Seele's expression was unnatural. "Mmm."
"You must have suffered a lot to get out of there. It's okay now. This time, Bronya-oneechan will definitely protect you. By the way, Mother Cocolia doesn't know about this yet, right? Let's go back to ME Corp together. Mother Cocolia will be so happy to see you!"
Bronya was incredibly happy at this moment, even calling Cocolia "Mother," a word she would never normally use.
She had already planned it all out. When this was all over, she would take Seele back to the orphanage. Then the two of them—no, and Mother Cocolia and everyone at the orphanage—they would all live happily together and never be separated again.
However, Seele's next words brought her crashing back to reality.
"But the one who made me fall into the Sea of Quanta was Cocolia, right, Bronya-oneechan? Why are you still dreaming an unrealistic dream? Is everything Cocolia has done really to save me, and not for her own benefit?"
"And what happens after we go back? Cocolia is willing to destroy tens of millions of people in Nagazora City to create the Herrscher of Thunder. So will she, in the future, use Seele, or even Bronya-oneechan, as experimental materials to create other Herrschers?"
"Bronya-oneechan, just do it for Seele's sake, okay? Use Project Bunny on Cocolia."
