It is better to face my own desires. This will allow me to see my flaws more clearly.
After all, only by knowing your true thoughts can you better move forward in the right direction.
...
That night, in Bronya's room
In Bronya's room, Bronya looked at Yuno who came to the room on time, and her eyes showed some complicated emotions.
No matter what, Yuno was the one who directly killed Cocolia.
Although Bronya knew that Cocolia's crime was unforgivable, it was obviously impossible for her to look at the death of her adoptive mother in a completely rational way.
"Okay, stop staring at me like that."
Seeing the girl looking at her with such complicated eyes, Yuno took out a small knife and placed it on the table.
"I understand your feelings very well. After all, I have been through the same thing."
"Cocolia is the real murderer who killed my mother, but similarly, I am also the real murderer who killed your mother."
"If being violent towards me makes you feel better, I'll let you stab me a few times."
Seeing Yuno's frank attitude, Bronya sighed helplessly.
"Sister Yuno, Bronya is very grateful that you are so humble, but..."
"Mom Cocolia went crazy in the end. You sent her to death. It was the result of her own choice."
"Your revenge is justified, and Bronya... has no reason to continue to abuse you, the victim."
"Well, since you have such an idea, then it's easy to talk about it."
Looking at the girl in front of her, Yuno took the initiative to walk in front of her and stretched out her right hand to Bronya.
"I didn't have time to say it before, but now, I think it's not too late to say it."
"Welcome back, Bronya."
"Well, Bu...I'm back."
As if to change her weak attitude, Bronya omitted her quirks and referred to herself as "I" in a rare move.
"But, you asked me to come here today not just for this matter, right?"
Looking at the textbooks on the girl's desk, Yuno sat on the bed very familiarly and said helplessly.
"When Kiana came to your room before, she must have asked you for more than just tutoring, right?"
"Yeah, I..."
After recalling the text messages she received today, Bronya felt that she was now in an even more difficult situation.
Originally, she wanted to ask Lin Yu what type of swimsuit he liked, and then make the news public and let everyone change into these swimsuits to achieve a delicate state of [balance in arms race].
But today, Lin Yu replied to her text message: Study hard, little girl, don’t think about these nonsense.
It's very difficult to do.
Now in Bronya's eyes, Kiana is ready to take action.
Then, recalling the look Mei had occasionally shown when she looked at Lin Yu before, she felt that Mei might also be preparing to take action.
As a result, in the current situation, no matter how good the relationship between the two is, in the face of love...
"Bronya..."
After thinking about it, Bronya had no choice but to ask for help from Yuno, who had not shown any intention in that regard for the time being.
"I want to know, Brother Lin Yu, what type of swimsuit do you like... Never mind, it doesn't matter."
"Sister Yuno, do you know what kind of girls Brother Lin Yu likes?"
"...You are much more frank than both of them."
Recalling the conversation she overheard, Yuno said with a helpless smile.
"If Kiana and Mei were half as frank as you, Senior wouldn't be able to 'avoid' them now."
"... Yuno-nee, you know everything????"
Oh no, could it be that even Yuno-sister...
"Don't look at me like that."
Yuno, who was stared at by Bronya with a shocked look, shrugged helplessly.
"I think you should understand the feelings of the three of us, after all..."
"——Senior really helped us a lot, and he helped us with his life."
"He's handsome, strong, gentle, and he's willing to risk his life to help us. Under these circumstances, it would be abnormal not to like him."
"...It's a point that cannot be refuted."
"Besides, the monitor should also have a crush on the senior. I think this is something that can be seen with the naked eye."
"...It's a point that cannot be refuted."
"So, in this situation, I don't want you to be in trouble."
After saying this, an inexplicable look suddenly appeared in Yuno's eyes.
"The senior is very cruel when facing the enemy, but when facing his companions, he will use actually very gentle means to help everyone."
"Besides, he was originally a secret agent. He is much better at facial expressions and emotional perception than ordinary high school girls like us. I guess - he has actually seen through our thoughts a long time ago."
"...It's a point that cannot be refuted."
After thinking about it carefully and analyzing it calmly, Bronya felt that what sister Yuno said was right.
Brother Lin Yu is such a smart man, and although sisters Kiana and Mei did not confess their feelings directly, they showed it so obviously, so he must have known what they felt.
In this case, he is still dragging his feet and not making a decision. Isn't this...
"Brother Lin Yu, do you want to have two relationships at the same time?"
"Shhh."
After hearing Bronya say this expressionlessly, Yuno immediately covered the girl's mouth and whispered to her.
"Keep your voice down."
After seeing the girl nod slightly, Yuno let go of her hand and whispered to Bronya.
"The senior probably didn't have that idea. He was just thinking about what to do so as not to hurt others."
"But in my opinion, if he chooses one of them, the other will inevitably be hurt."
"I love the daily life we spend together, so - I made a decision."
At this moment, Bronya felt that Yuno exuded an extremely terrifying aura.
"As long as both are chosen, a world where no one gets hurt will be created!"
"In other words - as long as Senior opens a harem, all problems will naturally be solved!"
Ah, that’s what I said, but Yuno-nee, have you ever thought about this – if this isn’t done well, both sides will explode at the same time? ? ? ?
"It's just that I can't accomplish this task by myself right now, so it's just right that you asked me to come here today."
At this moment, Yuno's eyes flashed with hope, and she held Bronya's hands.
"Bronya, you are my companion, right?"
"...Bronya, is there a chance to choose?"
"Of course. Even if you reject me, I can understand your idea. After all, this action does sound a bit crazy."
"But I won't let you help me for nothing."
At this moment, Yuno spoke to Bronya very sincerely.
"Now I am an A-rank Valkyrie recognized by the headquarters. As long as I can fully master the power of these two cores, Bishop Otto will make me an S-rank sooner or later."
"When I upgrade to S-level first, I will be able to master more intelligence and the technology of the Destiny Database. With S-level authority, I can help you rescue your companions who have been kidnapped by the World Serpent and have been quantized more easily."
"Senior certainly has this authority, but right now... I don't think he has the time to deal with these things."
"make a deal!"
At this moment, Bronya broke free from Yuno's hands and stretched out her right hand.
When the two of them held each other's right hands at the same time, different thoughts emerged in their hearts.
Very good, for the sake of Senior's harem journey——
For Seele, Rosalia, Lilia, and everyone else—
I/Bronya, must work hard!
......
Chapter 194. Squad leader, you’re making a sneak attack!
next morning
Lin Yu, who was sitting at the dining table, felt the constant gazes of the people around him and felt uncomfortable all over.
Kiana, who was supposed to be eating merrily, inexplicably started to steal glances at him after taking a few bites of rice today. Her eating speed was probably less than one-fifth of her usual speed.
Mei was the opposite - since this morning, she had not dared to meet Lin Yu's gaze.
Yuno and Bronya, the two people whose relationship Lin Yu had worried would deteriorate, were now frantically exchanging information with their eyes.
Fu Hua, who noticed these movements, looked at Lin Yu with a slightly blaming look.
Wow, what on earth is going on.
[Don't you know it clearly? The reason why Paramecium, the rice cooker, and the tablet monitor are like this is obviously because your charm value is too high! ]
…Well, there’s no way to refute that.
That's why you helped me to look so handsome when I traveled through time.
[Oh, do you want to become uglier? This system doesn't have this function. If you want to become ugly, go get some plastic surgery.]
That’s not what I meant.
Oh, what a hassle.
If it weren't for the many troubles that the action brought...
"Oh, right, Lin Yu."
Xiola, who felt that the atmosphere around her was not right, took out her terminal and pressed a few buttons gently, then showed Lin Yu the information she had just obtained in the morning.
"This is the information sent from the headquarters. I have verified it based on some intelligence I have. This information about the World Serpent is most likely true."
"...Does the headquarters trust you so much now?"
Looking at the confidential information above, Lin Yu really didn't expect that this information was actually passed to him by Raven.
Although it was true that Raven was very cooperative, in Lin Yu's opinion, she was theoretically still half a prisoner of war.
And now... wow, Otto trusts you so much?
"Don't look at me like that."
After feeling Lin Yu's slightly surprised gaze, Xiola chuckled and said.
"Bishop Otto is a smart man. After I handed over the information, he judged that I had no way out."
"Under such circumstances, he would naturally accept me as a formal member of the Fate of Heaven."
"Also, now in order to fight against Honkai and World Serpent, Destiny needs more high-level combat power."
"With the Seven Purifying Thunders, I can at least reach the level of Severe Injury Judgement. He has ordered me to be ready to use the Key of God at any time."
No, no, no, I don't think he believed you at all. He just thought you were a useful tool.
Ever since you almost killed Theresa, you've been on his kill list.
