Chapter 54: The Night of Revealing the "Truth"

Late at night, at the Snow Mountain Base.

Rosalia and Lilia, one on each side, hugged Cocolia's waist tightly. Sin sat in front of Cocolia in a duck-like position, bandaging her bleeding hands.

Cocolia sat stiffly, her purple eyes, always sharp and imposing in the past, now looked particularly empty, revealing a sense of fragility that was unbearable to look at.

"Really, if you want to destroy something, come to me. What are you trying to do? You're just a weak ordinary person, stupid mother!" Sin complained while carefully wrapping the wound.

Sin didn't know much about the quarrel between Cocolia and Bronya; she only knew that she didn't like seeing her Mother so sad.

"That Herrscher of Thunder, right? Okay, I'll kill her in two days, and then you won't have to quarrel, right?"

"Don't make a fuss, she's a Herrscher. Mom has to use all her strength to be sure. At least we have to build the East Shenzou Sea base first..." Cocolia reluctantly pulled the corner of her mouth into a smile and said absentmindedly.

'Ah, this must have broken Bronya's defenses, right?'

'Although it's just to establish a persona and gain the recognition of conservatives, I don't seem to feel any guilt.'

'I like her, but I can't be without resentment in this world, right?'

'That's right, regarding the Nagazora City incident, Bronya is not completely innocent.'

Angels talked to each other, soon tacitly ignoring Bronya's situation and beginning to calculate their gains and losses.

'In short, Cocolia's persona is now re-established: a good person with the dream of "saving children," a resolute and decisive hawk. For this kind of person, I don't believe the conservatives will still care about the past.'

'In the end, the strongest fist of Anti-Entropy is still with the conservatives, with Welt Yang. If we are not accepted by this core circle, no matter how much we operate among the radicals, we can't match the energy when they make up their minds.'

'Now Cocolia and Ninti are tied together, and the favorability gained by both sides can be added to each other. Keep working hard, aiming for Cocolia to truly take power and Ninti to be recognized as the next Welt!'

Angels calculated shrewdly, and their future plans became clearer and clearer.

Create different identities, strive for various powers, first defeat Otto, the hidden threat, and then face Kevin calmly. As for the future, maybe they have the ability to lead mankind to fight against Finality?

Well, don't fantasize about things that are too far away. Anyway, just follow this path. They have found the correct way to use the Herrscher of Dominance!

...

"B... Bronya?"

At Saint Freya, in Bronya's room, amid the girl's suppressed sobs, Kiana finally mustered up the courage and tentatively reached out to Bronya. Kiana gently lifted Bronya's head.

But Bronya bit her lip, her small nose tip flushed, her eyes red, crystal tears flowed slowly, and even her wet long eyelashes trembled slightly because of crying.

She was really pitiful and touching.

Especially because her past image was a three-no loli, this sudden exposure of vulnerability made her even more lovable.

"Doki!"

"So cute~~"

Although the timing was wrong, Kiana didn't have the IQ to understand the timing, so she subconsciously gave her own evaluation.

"Pah!"

Bronya was so embarrassed that she slapped the white-haired bug in front of her off the bed.

No one sympathized with Kiana's fate.

Only Raiden Mei tried to help by handing over a box of tissues.

Bronya snatched the tissue and wiped the tears from her face while sobbing.

After a long time, Himeko, Raiden Mei, and Kiana, who had a slap mark on her face, sat in a row on the bed, facing Bronya, and listened quietly to Bronya telling the "truth" about Nagazora City.

Even compared to Welt's objective position, Bronya unconsciously emphasized a lot about Cocolia's position and motivation as a mother because of her guilt towards Cocolia.

In short, after listening to the whole story, the three listeners felt that the whole story of Nagazora City was suddenly clear, and for Cocolia, except for some sighs, they felt that they could not hate her at all.

Therefore, Angel and others secretly sighed more than once that the characters they played opposite were all good people, which was really fortunate!

"So, this Conquest Gem was originally placed in my body by my father. Does he... also have an unshirkable responsibility?" Raiden Mei smiled bitterly. She was still upset about her father being framed by Cocolia. Now it seems that Raiden Ryoma was neither framed nor innocent.

Everyone was silent for a while, not knowing how to comfort her.

After all, after sorting out the entire story line, the source of all this was really Raiden Ryoma's selfishness back then.

Himeko rubbed her brows, and after digesting this information carefully, she suddenly frowned.

"Wait, I almost forgot a key question - Teacher Yang is actually the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance and the First Herrscher? He has been hiding in Saint Freya Academy for many years. What does he want to do?"

"At first, he saw Archbishop Otto sent Principal Theresa to the Far East to build a base and academy here, and he was worried about some conspiracy, so he came to investigate. He was going to leave recently, but Sister Mei enrolled again, so he had to continue observing for a while... It's more or less like this."

"Damn, they are playing us like monkeys!"

"The information about the leader is extremely confidential, and only a few people really know what he looks like, so it's not the academy's investigation ability that hasn't discovered him."

Bronya hugged her beloved Hom doll and explained woodenly.

Although in her heart, Bronya actually felt that compared with her mother Cocolia who revealed Welt's true identity, Saint Freya's intelligence ability was really poor.

'Mom is really amazing...'

As a daughter who has accepted her mother again, Bronya couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Himeko scratched her head and exhaled in frustration, but she didn't know what to say.

Until then, Kiana, whose eyes were empty for a while, suddenly came back to her senses and pointed at Bronya and said:

"So you are here to catch Mei! You are a bad guy, Bronya!"

"..." x3

No, you just realized it now?

Bronya covered her face, sighed, and said in her usual three-no tone:

"As expected of you, idiot Kiana. Have you forgotten that when we first met in Nagazora, I was actually controlled, and we fought each other at that time?"

"Ah... yeah, I forgot about it, hahaha!"

Kiana scratched her head with a silly smile, fully demonstrating her single-celled brain capacity problem.

'This idiot...'

'Is it intentional or really stupid?'

'Idiot Kiana, there is no hope for your brain, right?'

Now, everyone, who originally had different moods, put their worries aside for the time being.

As the night grew deeper, they agreed to continue to hide the truth from Angel for a while. They then left separately, returning to their rooms to rest and digest the information, ending this complicated night.
