Chapter 68: Silver Wolf: Damn, There's a Rival!
Leaving Qlipoth Fort, walking down the long flight of stairs.
"Distinguished guests, do you have any requests?"
Bronya's eyebrows furrowed slightly, a little puzzled, "I heard from Gepard and the Silvermane Guards that the guests like trash cans and... eat trash..."
"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"
Before Bronya could finish, March 7th hurriedly raised her hand to interrupt.
Although they hadn't interacted for long, facing Bronya, who practically had "by the book" written on her face, she was genuinely afraid that this Silvermane Guard Commander would give an order, and ten thousand Silvermane Guards would come rushing over holding trash cans.
"Is that so?" Bronya tilted her head.
Regarding the rumors among the Silvermane Guards, she hadn't believed them at first.
But when even Gepard said the outworld guests had a peculiar fondness for trash cans, she believed it.
"Uh, it's just that those two occasionally have episodes."
March 7th scratched her cheek, pointed to Stelle and Caelus at the back of the group, and her face, which had a sheepish smile, gradually stiffened, her eyes becoming dead fish-like: "Just like now."
With mirror-like synchronization, Caelus and Stelle, walking side by side, lowered their heads, one hand propping up their chins, their sharp gazes fixed on the space between Bronya's legs.
Beneath the blue and white was the darkest place in the entire universe. No matter from what angle one looked, it was a profound and deep black, as if a black hole had swallowed all colors, not allowing a single ray of light to escape.
Caelus couldn't even be sure if Bronya was wearing panties, but such a thing was completely unimportant.
He had already carefully surveyed Bronya's layout.
What was important was that in Caelus's and Stelle's eyes, it wasn't endless darkness. Within the black hole, a white hole was gestating, and that flickering golden light was incredibly dazzling.
Black-stockinged treasure chest!
"Hey, Caelus cub, when you ask Sis Himeko to send over the phones later, tell her to send an extra one." Stelle nudged Caelus with her elbow.
Want to learn my moves?
Caelus chuckled inwardly, glanced at Stelle, and extended his palm: "Sure, 50 crystals."
"Are you robbing me?" Stelle's eyes widened.
Besides, even with the brightness of the golden light from the black-stockinged treasure chest on Bronya, it might not even yield that many crystals!
"How could robbery be this fast?" Caelus showed a gentle smile.
"10 crystals at most." Stelle tried to haggle.
"30. With the intensity of that golden light, if you succeed, you'll still make a profit." Caelus retracted two fingers.
That was true, but was she going to pay such a huge price just to earn a few crystals?
This Caelus cub was making so much with just one phone; wouldn't she be losing out big time?
Stelle gritted her teeth and gave her bottom line: "20, that's the most!"
Caelus pretended to think, then smiled and clapped his hands together forcefully, "Deal."
The slapping sensation from her palm felt like a high-five. Stelle ground her teeth, but ultimately acknowledged this contract: "Those who break their word shall suffer the punishment of eating rocks."
That golden light, capable of illuminating even a deep black hole, should be worth more than 40 crystals. Compared to splitting it fifty-fifty, she'd get a little more.
Stelle gazed affectionately at the one-piece black stockings with their elegant golden floral pattern.
"Is there something on me?"
Stared at by that noticeably fervent gaze, Bronya flustered slightly and immediately lowered her head to examine her attire, wanting to prevent any impoliteness in front of the distinguished guests.
"Big Sis Commander, don't worry about it. Big Brother Caelus and Big Sister Stelle are occasionally like this. They are very good people."
Seele beamed a smile, her voice soft and gentle.
If March 7th had said this, Bronya would inevitably harbor doubts, but facing the girl's pure and unfathomable expression, she inexplicably relaxed.
"Seele, if you don't mind, you can call me Big Sis Bronya too."
Bronya placed her hand on her chest, smiling gently:
"Actually, I'm an orphan too. I was adopted by Mother and raised since I can remember. Our experiences... are really similar."
After hearing the story Seele told, it was hard not to feel emotional.
The 'Bronya' from another world was also adopted by Mother, and she even had such a cute and adorable younger sister, allowing 'her', an orphan, to experience the feeling of having a family and a younger sister.
From this point, Bronya even envied her other-world self a little.
"Really, can I?"
Seele's eyes seemed to light up at these words, her deep sea-blue eyes slowly stirring up waves.
—Using the ability partially shared from the mask, she amplified the genuine emotions welling up in White Seele's heart at this moment and displayed them vividly.
Even the joy of leaving the Sea of Quanta couldn't fill the longing for Big Sis Bronya, to the extent that White Seele couldn't help but vent a small part of her long-suppressed yearning onto Silver Wolf, who looked exactly like Bronya.
This was one of the reasons Seele could play Silver Wolf in the palm of her hand.
It wasn't entirely a ruse, but White Seele's genuine feelings. Which duck could resist that?
But now, a Rand duck had appeared who not only looked similar but even had the exact same name, was a few years older, and had more of a big sister's aura.
—A more perfect substitute had appeared!
Even though she clearly knew the other person wasn't her Big Sis Bronya, facing such a gentle 'Big Sis Bronya,' White Seele still found it hard to keep her emotions calm.
She really missed Big Sis Bronya!
"Of course, you can!"
Hope emerged in the girl's eyes. Bronya immediately replied eagerly, her bright eyes shining: "Actually, I've always wanted a younger sister!"
Caelus felt that if he filmed their interaction and conversation and sent it to Silver Wolf, that person would probably set off in her true body immediately, rushing to Jarilo-VI at light speed.
She'd grab Bronya by the collar and duel her!
A country bumpkin from a backwater planet, what right do you have to snatch the same sister as me!
Do you even have a car? You think you can pick up girls without a car!?
Thinking this, Caelus suddenly felt a bit eager to try.
Thinking about it, Silver Wolf hadn't seemed to pay respects to her adoptive father today. This wolf cub was really clueless!
The main thing was that he was the center of the Shura field. If time permitted, Caelus wouldn't mind entering the fray himself and starting the competition!
But he had to make preparations before Cocolia made her move.
"Mhm! Big Sis Bronya!"
The increased volume and emphatic nod both indicated joy. The girl's smile was incredibly dazzling under the sunlight.
It made Bronya feel a sense of relief; her heart had been beating a bit fast just now, afraid of being rejected by Seele.
"Seele, are you comfortable staying at the Goethe Hotel? Would you like to move to a better place?" Bronya asked with concern.
The Goethe was indeed a top-tier hotel, but in terms of homey atmosphere, warmth, and safety level, it was still a bit lacking compared to her home.
"No need, there are so many of us, we wouldn't want to trouble Big Sis Bronya with the expense."
Seele smiled sweetly.
What a joke! With her special attack against Bronya, if she wanted to, with a little maneuvering, she could get Bronya's one-piece black stockings tonight!
She had said she'd sell Stelle a phone, but she never said she wouldn't compete with her for the treasure chest, right?
Black-stockinged treasure chest +20 Stellar Jades.
"Alright then, Seele, you have to be careful. The Fragmentum corrosion is getting more severe, causing many Fragmentum creatures to appear in Belobog's urban areas. Those districts have been sealed off and are guarded by Silvermane Guards, but there are still safety hazards."
"Seele, you should stay away from those places."
"Mhm, Seele understands, Big Sis Bronya," Seele said sweetly.
"Also..."
...
Watching the figures of the new big and little sister pair, listening to Bronya's extremely caring words and meticulous reminders, March 7th was completely bewildered.
A big, capitalized 'Huh?' expression.
How did it develop into a big sister-little sister relationship?
The cute and well-behaved Seele indeed easily made people's maternal instincts overflow, arousing a desire to protect, but wasn't this progress a bit too fast!
Thinking about the past Seele narrated in the hall, the fate between the two... emmm, it didn't seem entirely without reason.
Just as March 7th was hesitating whether to interrupt their emotional exchange, Bronya belatedly realized that Seele wasn't the only distinguished guest she was supposed to be entertaining.
Facing the group's varied yet subtly meaningful gazes, Bronya's pretty face immediately flushed red with embarrassment.
Chatting with Seele, she had almost forgotten the other guests. She had never made such a low-level mistake before!
What was wrong with her today?
Clearing her throat twice to cover her haste, Bronya immediately showed concern for the other guests' feelings.
Afterward, it was lunchtime.
As a sign of respect for the outworld guests and to show Belobog's hospitality, Bronya hosted a banquet for them.
With Seele present, it was hard for the atmosphere not to be harmonious.
Bronya talked about Belobog's customs, the history of the old world, and the current predicament—the latter theoretically shouldn't be discussed with tourists, but for Seele's sake, Bronya still revealed a little.
A simple banquet, where both hosts and guests enjoyed themselves.
After the meal, Bronya took the group to a scenic spot and then left.
Although her mother had assigned her the task of entertaining the guests, she still couldn't stop worrying about the frontline. As the Supreme Guardian's successor, she had other work to do.
The time spent visiting this scenic spot was squeezed out because she wanted to spend more time with Seele.
Before leaving, Bronya arranged for the subsequent reception.
"Hello, esteemed guests. I am Pela Shērgeyevna, adjutant of the Silvermane Guards. You can call me Pela. I will be responsible for your reception from now on."
Wearing a pair of large, round-framed glasses, holding a book to her chest, the petite blue-haired girl, exuding a literary aura, nodded politely to the group.
"Hello, my name is March 7th. This is Dan Heng, Seele, and these two are..."
March 7th responded enthusiastically, but when introducing Stelle and Caelus, her expression suddenly fell. "You two, that's enough! Do you plan to collect everyone's black stockings we meet?"
She was really almost speechless.
However, it had to be said, Pela's black stockings did look quite good. She could buy two sets to take back.
"Hehe~! Treasure chest~! My black-stockinged treasure chest! Don't stop me!"
Drool overflowed from the corner of her mouth. If March 7th hadn't been holding her back tightly, Stelle would have already been prprpr-ing Pela's black stockings.
Even Caelus found it hard to suppress a swallow. Those black stockings with the ruler markings were just too irresistible!
No way!
He needed a matching pair immediately!
To be used tonight!
For adult Bronya's plump, mature, and delicious duck legs, they would be the absolute best seasoning!
