Chapter 105: How to Comfort a Single Mother

"Bronya is still alive, it's great!"

On a sunny morning, Bronya sat on the sofa with a sluggish look in her eyes, holding a long biscuit stick in her mouth. She sighed, looking haggard.

Last night, she had a suffocating nightmare that lasted until dawn. When she woke up, she found that it was not a dream. She was really being squeezed on the chest by Cocolia and almost suffocated in her sleep.

The image of Nashiro Yukiko, who took away all her vision as soon as she opened her eyes, was still vivid in her mind. Only when you get close can you truly experience the huge shock.

Bronya couldn't help but touch her head, gesture the size, and then shake her head in despair.

This kind of thing is a benefit for Kiana, but it is pure terror for Bronya.

And this terror had been going on for several days.

Next to her, Rosalia was fighting for snacks with her sister Lilia, laughing happily:

"Haha! Sister Bronya is back, and we are free! It's finally your turn to accompany mom to sleep! Hahaha!"

"Has mom been like this every day recently?"

"That's not true! Every day we take turns accompanying her. She says she can't sleep alone. Alas, mom is getting more and more childish. I don't know what to do in the future."

"You have worked hard."

Bronya said with a biscuit stick in her mouth, looking exhausted and sympathetic. Then, Sin patted her shoulder from behind with a refreshing and playful smile:

"It's not hard. Anyway, you'll be here every day for the next while, and we'll take turns to rest."

"... There's something very important going on at Saint Freya. Bronya will leave today!"

"You can try. If you can drive a plane away without my nod, I'll change my last name to Zaychek!"

"Sin, you're taking revenge!"

Bronya had a wooden face, and her milky voice revealed a lot of resentment.

Sin raised her chin proudly, too lazy to pay attention to Bronya, and went straight to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Bronya sighed, glanced at the Vodka sisters who were pushing and arguing over snacks, and then looked at Ninti, who was using gravity to build blocks in the air. She suddenly felt a little bored.

To be honest, the feeling of going home is not bad.

In the past few days, Bronya and Cocolia tacitly avoided talking about anything related to Saint Freya. Just like a daughter who had been away from home for a long time and a mother who had been missing her child, they ate and lived together without any grudges. They bathed and rubbed each other's backs and occasionally complained about each other's behavior, even more intimate than in Siberia.

Bronya enjoyed everything here.

But she couldn't let go of her friends and teachers in Saint Freya, nor could she abandon her responsibility to Angel. In Bronya's view, being in Saint Freya should be a card to restrain Cocolia; otherwise, she would have no scruples about Saint Freya.

"Although I'm sorry to Mother Cocolia, it's wrong. We can obviously find a better way," Bronya whispered to herself. The more intimate she was treated by Cocolia, the more guilty she felt about her choice.

Then, Ninti sat next to Bronya and handed her something that looked like a USB flash drive.

"Ninti, what is this?"

"The hacking program for the fighter jet."

"Hmm? How did you get this?"

"My mom gave it to me last night. She said that if you want to leave, do it secretly. You don't need to tell her, lest she regret it."

Ninti said calmly in a soft but silent voice.

Bronya's little hand trembled, and she felt that the USB flash drive in her palm was so hot and heavy, just like Motherly love. She felt ashamed again.

Bronya's eyes flickered, and she murmured:

"No need to say goodbye? It's really mom's style!"

"So, will Sister Bronya leave?"

"I... I also have things I want to do, friends I want to protect, and I also want to find a way to save Seele from the perspective of Schickisal Technology. I'm sorry, Ninti. From now on, I'll ask you and Sin to take care of mom and this family."

"Yeah."

Ninti responded softly, lowering her head like a lost kitten. Bronya sighed, and while silently strengthening her determination, she was too embarrassed to say anything more.

...

At night, the clear moonlight sprinkled on the unstable sea, as clear and bright as day.

Bronya came to the open area, stood in front of a fighter jet, and faced Welt.

"Alliance Leader, you probably can't go back to the academy. Is there anything you need to tell the dean or Sister Mei and the others? Bronya can help convey it."

"That's not necessary. I have always kept in touch with them. But your identity may not escape the investigation of the Schicksal headquarters. I'm afraid there will be some risks if you go there."

"After all, Bronya is not a formal member of Anti-Entropy. Schicksal will not pay too much attention to Bronya. With the protection of the dean, Bronya should have no problem in Saint Freya."

"Having said that, you still have to be careful. If you find something wrong, contact us in time. The East Shenzou Sea Base is not that far from Saint Freya. By the way, are you really not going to see Cocolia for the last time?" Welt asked.

Bronya was silent for a moment, said goodbye to Welt, boarded the plane, and quickly rushed out of the runway, disappearing into the night sky.

Welt pushed his glasses in the strong wind caused by the fighter plane. He felt that fate was playing tricks on the mother and daughter.

Just as he walked back and reached the corner of the wall, the golden hair of the probability was blown by the night wind and fluttered into his eyes.

Welt paused and then smiled.

"Why don't you try to keep her? You can let her stay for a few more days, right?"

"My daughter has grown up and has her own ideas. I can't keep her."

Cocolia leaned against the wall and looked up at the sky where Bronya was going away. The corners of her military uniform fluttered in the sea breeze, highlighting her plump and graceful curves.

But Welt looked at her slightly empty purple eyes without the usual strong gaze, and felt that she must be very sad, right?

"I heard there's a cafe in the base. Would you like to go sit and chat?"

"No thanks, I have no interest in you other than business. Welt, tell me, even a sensible child like Bronya chose to leave me. Am I a failure as a mother?"

"Absolutely not!" Welt's expression became serious, and he replied earnestly.

Then, he slowed down his tone and said thoughtfully:

"I think how well a mother does is not determined by others or herself. Only the performance of the children can be used as a judge.

"Bronya is mature and sensible, and she also has a gentle heart that cherishes feelings. Sin is usually a little impatient, but she can always take care of things at home patiently, carefully, and responsibly. Rosaria and Lilia are also innocent and kind children. Although they hide some sadness, they can always face life with an optimistic attitude.

"And Nint, she even exchanged her sincerity for sincerity, making the Honkai Beast willing to entrust her life and power to her, creating an unprecedented miracle, which is much better than me, a nominal leader.

"Each of your children is great. And what they have in common is that they all love you deeply. Just ask, who can say that you are not a good mother?"

Welt said sincerely with emotion. The more he thought about it, the more he liked Cocolia.

Of course, it was a recognition of personality, not the kind of affection between men and women. Don't get him wrong.

Cocolia smiled without commenting, but the melancholy on her face gradually faded away.

They blew the sea breeze for a long time before leaving.
