Firstly, thanks for reviews Will of Kaslana and shimarin67, and now, i know it took quite a while but please enjoy this chapter to your heart content.
"Aaaaaaa, she looks so beautiful, it's really worth it to roll her."
After spending tens of thousands of crystals that I save from long ago, I was able to roll a very important and powerful character to my f2p account.
Bronya Zaychik, Herrscher of Reason, Herrscher of Truth, is one of the main trio and my most favorite Valkyrie. With a petite figure, she has cold steel hair with two parts of her hair shaped into a unique drill shape, her legs which were destroyed by Honkai energy covered with modern machinery, and especially her face that's expressionlessness all the time.
Bronya's story is the one that I dare say I know by heart. Looking at the 3D girl floating on my phone screen, I felt extremely happy, as if all the fatigue I had experienced during the day had completely disappeared.
In the previous world, I loved this character that much...
…And I never thought I would meet her so soon in this world.
"I guess I'll be just in time if i go now."
After putting on my shoes and fixing my hair, I made my way to ME Corps headquarters. Today is the day that president Raiden Ryoma invited me to come talk. I was quite nervous, I mean even though I was already very old in term of soul, this meeting, for me, was like going to see my boss to apply for a job. Well, that comparison is a bit lame, right?
Sitting on the train running around the city, the beauty and modernity of the city always made me silently admire it. However, it still has a somewhat natural look. It seems that high-ranking members of the city are extremely concerned about environmental issues, so in any area within my sight there are green trees, creating a certain harmony without losing all the unique aspects of the city.
I got off the train right at the station near the ME Corps headquarters, which was quite far from Chiba Academy but still one of the busiest areas of the city.
*Ring ring*
While walking on the bustling street, something rang out around me, it sounds like a bell or something like that. Standing in the middle of many passenger crowd, I turned around to find the source of that noise. It seemed like no one but only me heard that noise. Suddenly, a small butterfly came into view, a strange butterfly, with a blue color.
… Could it be…?
Since the day I realized I was in the Honkai universe, my mind has always been sensitive to every piece of information around me. That's right, there's only one person who reminds me of a blue butterfly in this world...
…Seele? Why she's here?
Oh, of course there was still a possibility that it wasn't Seele, but just me being dizzy and misjudged, but I couldn't ignore this, I quickly followed that butterfly. After passing a long distance, approaching the wall of the ME Corps, I followed into a small alley. Actually at this moment, I was looking forward to see Seele, and only thinking about how she was able to escape the Quantum Sea so early. According to lore, Seele and Bronya carried out the X-10 plan in August, it's hard to believe she's here right now, unless something that wasn't part of the plot happened.
At the end of the alley was the silhouette of a small girl, not with blue hair, but cold silver hair of steel. That surprised me so much that I couldn't hold back my voice:
"Ah!"
Just as I let out the voice of my surprise, Bronya Zaychik turned back to look at me. Another member of the Trio has appeared in Nagazora city, so only Kiana remains nowhere to be seen. However, I don't have time to worry about that right now, but have to quickly adapt to the problem right at hand.
I'm extremely panicked right now, in fact, why is Bronya here right now?! She didn't appear in Nagazora until the 3rd Honkai disaster happened, so why now!? Meanwhile, she was approaching me, and I just stood there without knowing what to do. Thinking carefull, she might even kill me right away, it is no coincidence that she gets the name "Silver Wolf of the Urals".
"…"
"…"
Bronya looked at me without saying anything, which made me both surprised and feel awkward.
Speaking of Bronya, she is much shorter than me, maybe she is only as tall as my chest, currently wearing a fairly normal outfit, of course it's not the same as any battle armor in the game. In addition, her legs were already covered by a mechanical skeleton, proving that she had indeed undergone the X-10 experiment.
"…um, you? What are you doing here?"
That's what I can say right now in my head. I had the feeling that I was sweating, my hands were shaking non-stop, uncontrollably. If this trembling was due to fear, it would be true, afraid that Bronya would think i were her enemy and kill me, afraid that i would do something that would affect the final ending. But it wouldn't be wrong to say that i'm excited, i mean my favorite character throughout the game is standing in front of me like this, I think I would be strange if i'm not getting excited.
"…"
Even though she heard the question, she still remained silent. I could see her glance down at my hands and feet and then back to my face in just a moment. Perhaps she has confirmed that I wasn't someone who was potentially dangerous. After I waited for a while and didn't see her say anything, I spoke up again, trying not to make her suspicious of me.
"…Are you lost? If you need me, I—"
"Bronya is not lost."
I was startled again when she suddenly spoke. At least she said her name, so from now on I don't have to be careful not to say her name anymore. Then, before I can say anything more…
"What is subject doing here?"
"S-subject? I was planning to go to ME Corps headquarters. What about you, what are you doing?"
Of course, I was just pretending to be surprised, I had already remembered that Bronya had an unusual way of addressing her and other people.
"…. Can Bronya come with you? Bronya wants to find her family there."
Ah! So that's the reason!
It's obvious, the reason she came here was to infiltrate the ME Corps. With that sneaky look from before, and the fact that this place is right next to the headquarters, based on everything I know, only an idiot wouldn't understand what's going on. If you think about it carefully, there is not a single scrap of information about Bronya appearing in Nagazora before the 3rd Honkai outbreak, and it cannot be a coincidence that Cocolia could slander Raiden Ryoma. The reason Bronya is here is probably to do something with the president, so to keep things going in the right direction, I should help her.
"Okay, I'm going in there too."
I answered, giving a friendly smile, creating conditions for Bronya to enter the ME Corps without having to bother of breaking in. I reached out my hand towards her,…
Bronya is feeling strange.
She is a professional assassin, with the nickname "Silver Wolf of the Urals", she can hide in everyone's sight and disappear as if she wasn't even there. Yet somehow she was discovered by an ordinary student who could be found anywhere.
The boy looked extremely surprised, he hum and ha, struggling to ask a question, but according to Bronya's observation, he was extremely nervous. The boy didn't look like he had a weapon on him or he could harm Bronya, so she decided to try to answer him in the most normal way.
"…Are you lost? If you need me, I—"
"Bronya is not lost."
Before she could think, the answer had already flowed out of her mouth. Was it because she was treated like a child that she reacted like that? But she knew one thing that something was rising in her heart, just a little, but still, she didn't feel any animosity towards the person standing in front of her.
"What is subject doing here?"
"S-subject? I was planning to go to ME Corps headquarters. What about you, what are you doing?"
It turned out that he was preparing to meet Raiden Ryoma. Based on his uniform, he was studying at Chiba Academy, so there was a high possibility that he was a scholarship student of the ME Corps. So it's not strange that the guy felt stressed at first. But, Bronya also sees a rare opportunity there, she can take advantage of this guy.
"…. Can Bronya come with you? Bronya wants to find her family there."
A classic reason, the one that couldn't be easily debunked, especially since the person standing in front of her didn't look like someone with any other connection to the ME Corps other than being a student receiving their scholarship.
Suddenly, a hand was raised in front of Bronya's face, it belonged to the boy, and Bronya's body acted on its own before she can process her thoughts. Holding that hand, it was much bigger than her hand, but what she felt was a warmth that was hard to describe in words.
Just like that, Touma took her with him through the main gate of the ME Corps.
"She is my cousin."
Bronya was surprised when he said that to security, but if he thought about it, he probably answered like that to avoid the trouble of having to explain anything else. It was normal to bring relatives along, so no one asked any more questions about Bronya.
As expected, Fukabe Touma is a scholarship recipient of the ME Corps, which raises a question:
Why didn't he suspect anything?
Students who receive scholarships are obviously extremely smart, or have outstanding talent in some field. But for such a person to so easily believe Bronya's words and go so far as to lie for her sake, it's unbelievable. However, if she asked about it right here, it would most likely only bring disadvantages to the mission, so Bronya just quietly followed.
"Please sit here and wait, I will go and report to the chairman."
After declaring the procedures and other things, a receptionist said that to us, and left. Looking next to me, there was Bronya's silver hair, and... I was still holding her small hand. To be honest, I think my hands are sweating, luckily it's a cool day, otherwise I probably wouldn't have dared to hold her hand. At first I did it because I simply thought it would be easier to impress people around us that we were brothers or relatives. But now I don't want to let go of her hand at all.
But in the end, I still had to let go, surprising Bronya, because I couldn't take her to see Raiden Ryoma with me.
"I have to go meet someone now, so you should go find your relatives too."
"…Yes, thank you."
Having said that, she turned around and walked towards the hall. I couldn't help but say silently that I felt regretful. Bronya's small figure walked further and further away, not knowing when I would see her again. If I'm lucky, I might meet her again before, or even during, the 3rd Honkai Impact, but the possibility of me meeting her again during this event is not high, because if so, it would still be my body, but in a zombiefy state. In any case, if i can survive Nagazora city, there's still a chance.
With a call from the staff from behind, I strengthened my resolve a little more and walked to the chairman's office.
As expected, such an important place was located very deep in the headquarters of the ME Corps. On the way there were quite a bunch security officers. I also got to see through some special factories and offices. It's truly "travel broadens the mind", right?
After a few minutes of walking, we finally arrived in front of the office. The receptionist simply stood aside, bent down and led me towards the door, signaling me to come into the room. The large office is located on a high floor, with panoramic views of the city through transparent glass walls. The spacious space is decorated in a minimalist but sophisticated style, with the main colors being white and gray, creating an elegant and professional feel. The center of the office is a high-quality walnut desk, accompanied by luxurious leather chairs. On the table is a large computer screen, along with the most advanced technological equipment. The glass shelves are filled with books on business and technology, with a number of awards and recognitions on formal display. Green plants are cleverly arranged around the office, bringing a feeling of closeness to nature and a comfortable working space. A corner of the office is reserved for a soft leather sofa, where the president often welcomes important guests, and there is a man named Raiden Ryoma sitting and waiting. Just waiting for me to enter, he walked towards me, held out his hand and said:
"Nice to meet you, Fukabe Touma."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. President." I responded and shook his hand, his rough hand also showed that this person was not only a talented businessman but also a person who had hard-worked and devoted tirelessly to get to what he has today. In terms of role, I am the one to owe him and in a sense, when I signed that valuable scholarship, I was destined to contribute to the ME Corps in the future, so I am taking on the role of an employee who's shaking his hand. However, Raiden Ryoma did not have a condescending attitude towards me, but instead shook hands to show his appreciation for the precious gem right in front of him. Then he invited me back to the sofa area to sit:
"So, how do you feel about Nagazora city? Have you gotten used to life here?" Ryoma asked after sitting down.
"As you know I've only just moved to the city for a few days, so I'm really not used to it yet but I have to say, Nagazora is really beautiful and unique."
"Okay that's good to hear, you're also a honest person. Please send my regards to Misaki-san."
"Yes, I will tell her." I was a bit surprised when he suddenly mentioned my grandmother, but thinking about it, she was the one who moved here with me, and also the one who completed most of the procedures, no wonder he knows her. And that also implicitly implies to me that the man sitting in front of me is very thoughtful about everything.
"Also, as far as I know, you are placed in the same class as my daughter, right? This is my personal request but, please take care of Mei." The current chairman's eyes were somewhat gentler than when I first entered. Perhaps this was the "father" side of the respected man in front of me.
So, I would also reply with sincerity, "…Yes, of course, but on the contrary, perhaps I am the one who needs to be taken care of."
"Thank you. No more beating around the bush, let's get to the point, Touma-kun, do you know why I arranged to meet you today?" As a way to get back to his work personality, Ryoma asked me.
I calmly reconsidered, this could be a question to test my ability, I remember many job interviews I have seen before also started with questions just like this one.
"…Do you want to ask about my future direction as well as consider what positions I might be suitable for in your company?"
"Yes, as I expected, your achievements were no fluke, and you also seem much older than your age." The chairman smirked and said that. I was startled when i was said to be "older than my age", there was no way he could see anything just by meeting me... I hope so.
"Thank you, I get that a lot."
"Then I'll ask directly, do you plan to work for my company after finishing high school? We can provide conditions for you to study and work at the same time at ME Corps, or if you want, you can also finish college and return to work, but you will have to go through a harsh recruitment process. We always value talent, so what do you think?"
"I plan to study at university and then return to the company. It may take more time, but doing so will give me more knowledge and experience."
"Okay, I always welcome those eager to learn like you. Please remember, ME Corps will welcomes you." The chairman said that after hearing my answer, it seemed like what I said was completely within his calculations from the beginning.
"Yes."
"Now," Raiden Ryoma stood up, "I'll show you around some of the company's offices and production lines. Consider it an eye-open experience for you and I'll let you see what kind of jobs you can choose in the future."
It's been 10 minutes since Bronya's mission began. Infiltrating the ME Corps had been made extremely easy thanks to a boy named Fukabe Touma, as she had heard while passing through the security gate. That boy is an excellent student who received a scholarship from this world-famous company. Although she still has concerns, she must now focus on the task at hand.
Some hallways even have invisible lasers, but with Project Bunny's quantum vision, seeing it clearly is no longer a problem. Bronya's small body is also a big advantage for her, as she can easily maneuver through those areas. Unlike security staff, whose actions are difficult to predict 100%, cameras always have dead angles, and they always operate according to certain cycles and rules. For Bronya, passing corridors those area would be easier than sneaking past a human's sight.
According to the map, Bronya found the route with the fewest staff and was the easiest to pass, but when she got close to Raiden Ryoma's room, she saw Fukabe Touma had just entered Raiden Ryoma's office. She had no choice but to hide in a dark corner and wait. After a while, she saw the two come out with the staff waiting outside. It looked like they wanted to go somewhere. After chatting for a while, they left.
She carefully let the quantized Project Bunny in to scout the office. After confirming there was nothing suspicious, no hidden cameras or employees, she walked in and quickly approached the computer desk. She quickly broke the device's security lock and inserted a USB to download the backdoor software that had been prepared in advance, then hid it deep into the device's core software. It only took a few minutes and the process was completed, all that remained was to leave here without being detected.
Bronya was a bit worried about quickly escaping according to the original plan without seeing Fukabe Touma again, but safety was the first priority, she quickly left, and when she stepped outside the ME Corps, Bronya's mission was completed successfully.
"Thank you."
"It's nothing, this is my responsibility, I don't want to miss a talent like you at all."
After nearly half an hour of sightseeing tour, from the programmers' room to the electronic device production line. Even taking a look at the front desk and customer support offices, I could say I had a complete vision of almost the entire company.
We chatted a little longer about the details of the work and finally we reached the gate.
"If you want, I can order the staff to take you home. I think I have taken a like in you quite a bit."
"Thank you, but I will go home on my own, I don't want to cause you any more trouble."
"If you say so, I won't force you. See you again one day soon." Hearing him express his sympathy for me, it warmed my heart. Having the support of a famous corporation president like this is not a disadvantage at all. We said goodbye to each other here, and to think that a person like this would eventually be labeled with the worst labels such as money laundering, or economic fraud.
That man was also a good father. As far as I remember, he was quite harsh on Mei, but in fact he did so to ensure his daughter had the best development and preparation for her long life. Perhaps Mei herself also understands that better than anyone else, she is always so profound, so Mei never blames her father, on the contrary, she always loves and understands her father. But everything was truly ruined when Cocolia successfully framed him, leading to the tragedy that was about to happen in just a few months.
I wonder how Bronya is doing?
It's been nearly an hour since the two of us parted ways in the ME Corps lobby. She's probably finished her work by now. I don't really know what her plan is but it's clearly illegal. In the information that I have, there has never been a story about Bronya appearing in Nagazora before Mei was isolated, and that also means that what Bronya did was probably not discovered by anyone, and based on the fact Raiden Ryoma will be slandered, it is not difficult to deduce that perhaps Bronya stole some information, or falsified some documents to make it easier for Cocolia to act.
On the way back, I walked through the alley where we met. A dark, shabby alley in the middle of this modern city, as if this was an area often overlooked by cleaning staff. I took out my phone and took a photo, it wasn't much, it might not be anything special for Bronya, but for me, today was really special, because I got to meet her, a Bronya is flesh and breathing. Going through a long story, I really just wanted to hug tightly, because Bronya was the reason I knew about Honkai Impact 3rd in first place, not only that, I was actually drawn to her story from the time of Honkai Gakuen 2.
It can be said that, if it weren't for Bronya, I would never have known what this world I am living in was like.
Thinking about what I went through today, I slowly walked towards the train station to go home. Once again, Bronya's figure was standing against the nearby wall, holding a Homu doll in her hand.
That reminds me, she really likes Homu, next time I have to give her something related to Homu.
"Ah." Looking like she had noticed my appearance, Bronya quickly ran closer.
"Have you found your relatives?" Well, that was the reason she used to talk to me, and besides, I didn't want Bronya to know about the information I was holding, at worst I could be crushed by Project Bunny.
"Yes, Bronya was waiting here to say thank you. Thank you very much." Still with an expressionless face, she said so, still in the same monotonous tone, but it sounded like there was some emotion in it. To be honest, I was a bit panicked when I saw Bronya again, I thought she had left right after completing the mission, so I was nervous... and worried.
"You're welcome." I hope that the things I do, no matter how small or big, will not affect the plot too much.
"So is subject busy?"
"Me? No. Is there something I can help you with?"
"Can subject take Bronya out around the city?"
"…Huh!?"
Okay, today's predictions have gone astray since I entered that alley, but if "today" is an entity capable of thinking, then it probably wants to troll me.
I originally thought I would go home and rest to do my homework, but somehow fate pulled me into an unscheduled "date" with Bronya Zaychik, one of the most influential people in this world, it's just not the time yet.
After texting my grandmother that I might be home late this afternoon, I looked next to me, Bronya was placing her knees on the train seat and looking out the window. She looks like a girl who have just come in this city right now.
According to her wishes, I decided to become a city tour guide... even though I don't know much about this city... Eh?
AAAA! That's it, I don't even know anything much more than Bronya!
Screaming inside, I buried my face in my hands in disappointment when I realized I had puffed my chest and said I would show her how beautiful this city was in excitement, you really should think before speaking.
"Is there something wrong?" Bronya shook her shoulders and asked after seeing my strange expression.
"…I'm sorry, I actually don't know too much, because I've only been here less than a week…"
"It's that so."
I don't know if she thinks bad about me or not. My head was steaming up because I was wondering what to do, when a text message came to my phone, making it vibrate in my pocket. The message came from Kimura Fuuya, he sent me about the new leak of the series, that we have talked a lot in the past few days because we both like Light Novels...at that moment, I figure that my lifesaver appeared, I immediately told Bronya.
"Wait a minute, I'll ask my friend for something." Then I quickly texted him.
- Touma: Need help, SOS! Do you know any cool places here in Nagazora? The more the better! Hurry up!
- Fuuya: Calm down, let me think!
- Fuuya: There are many good places, the question is, what kind of place do you want to go?
…..Considering that the person I'm with is Bronya, perhaps somewhere with Homu or a gaming area would probably appeal to Bronya the most.
- Touma: Is there any place that has Homu or games? Both would be better.
- Fuuya: There is! Sent attached link.
I opened the link curiously and it was an announcement about the Homu Adventures game exhibition, a fairly famous MMORPG, not to mention, with the Homu theme that the person sitting next to me absolutely loved. As soon as Bronya took a look, she responded.
"Bronya wants to go there." Still the same flat, emotionless voice, but this time with excitement, it looked like I had made the right choice. I immediately texted Kimura back that I thanked him and would explain to him later. It's a bit selfish, but I don't want anyone else to participate today, just me and Bronya is enough.
On that train, while waiting for the train station near the game exhibition, I tried to show Bronya everything I knew within sight. There is nothing more satisfying than this, sitting next to the character you love most, talking side by side. Don't blame me for repeating this too many times, because this is so precious. I can be sure that today is a day that I did not foresee, but it is also the best day for me up to now, even if I include all my past lives, there is no day better than today.
After passing by many locations, eventhough just through the train window, we arrived at our destination station after a few minutes walk, it's a quite large shopping mall with many Homu decorations around. A lot of people gathered here wearing all kinds of Homu outfits from weird to cool, from modern to medieval looks, to the most deformed looks one could think of.
While I was still confused by what I was seeing, on the other hand, Bronya's eyes sparkled with excitement. Well, for someone who likes Homu as Bronya, there's nothing surprising, there's no need to ask, she's definitely played this game before. She pulled me through the booths like it was a festival, except the fact that everything had a Homu Adventures theme. As expected, Bronya won from one game to another and earned many special prizes. Looking at the stall owners sighing helplessly, I could only laugh and condolences to them, what a bad luck to encounter her.
The only time Bronya stops playing is when we eat lunch, but even then, Bronya still has her phone in her hand, trying to figure out how and ways to play the next games she sees. I knew Bronya was a gamer, and also addicted to games, but to this extent, I really didn't expect it.
One-player games cannot be difficult for Bronya, but the difficulty comes when a game that requires the coordination of two people appears. It didn't look like she wanted to miss out on the special prize of two limited edition Homu-shaped phone hooks. So she turned to me:
"Can subject Touma play with Bronya?"
Today really startled me a lot, I felt like I wanted to laugh out loud with joy when I heard her call my name for the first time.
"Of course, but don't expect too much, I'm not good with games."
It's a classic, a virtual maze with two parts, one for each person, and requires good coordination to solve the puzzles as quickly as possible. Because of me, we both lost at first because I couldn't solve my problem in time, causing both of us to have to play again. However, the more we played, the more we got along, the better we coordinate, and our puzzle processing speed quickly surpassed the very limited time limit. That made more people gather around to see who was so good, but we were both completely focused on the game and didn't pay any attention to the people around us. After 15 minutes of hard work, to the point that even Bronya was sweating, the game was finally completed with just enough points to win a special prize. The people around us cheered and praised, and then I realized that the two of us had become the focus of the crowd without realizing it.
When the sky began to turn yellow, it also signaled that this afternoon's game exhibition had come to an ended. In fact, after sweeping through the stalls with many prizes in hand, we returned to watch the players challende the difficult stages of Homu Adventures, Bronya was originally intended to compete. She wanted to show them how she plays because she thought the others weren't playing well at all. And fortunately for them, it was time to end the game exhibition, otherwise those people who looked extremely professional would have been humiliated by a girl two heads shorter than them.
Stepping out of the shopping center, the orange-red rays of the afternoon sun shone across my eyes, causing me to hide a bit. Looking next to me, Bronya was standing there with many prizes in her hand, fortunately most of them were accessories like badges or small-sized hooks so she can easily carry them with her. Seeing her face still so expressionless made me wonder if Bronya was happy with everythin happened today. Suddenly Bronya reached out to me and held out a phone hook she had received from the game we played together.
"Bronya only needs one, so please take this one."
Hearing that, I slowly picked up the phone hook, "Thank you."
"Bronya thank you for today. Bronya has to go home." Bronya was originally late, but I didn't know that.
"Well, see you later." Although I'm sorry, I have no reason to keep her here. Looking at the small figure of the girl with the cold silver hair of steel walking away, I wondered when I would see her again, but rather, would there still be a chance for me to see her again or not? The thoughts were the same as in the morning, but now I was fueled by what happened today.
It's frankly, I thought I would give her something as a gift when we meet again, but in the end it was Bronya who gave a present to me first. Pick up the hook and put it on my phone, telling myself that i won't ever forget today. However, I feel like I forgot something very important.
While I was walking to the station, a blue butterfly fluttered across the sky before disappearing into thin air, looking like it was very happy, well, in fact, it really was very happy.
"What have you done until now!?"
Cocolia shouted over Bronya's radio. It's been 6 hours since she received the signal from Raiden Ryoma's backdoor software, and she hasn't been able to contact Bronya during that time, making Cocolia afraid that something happened to Bronya, but she can't spit out that she's worried about Bronya, that's not her way.
"Bronya has encountered some unspeakable problems, please don't blame me, Matushka."
Cocolia sighed, because she knew that every time Bronya said that, her "daughter" was usually actually going out to play or doing something similar, but on the other hand, she was also relieved to be assured of Bronya's safety.
"Nơư you go to the location marked on the map, someone will come pick you up."
After that statement, the radio was turned off and a map was sent to Bronya. Heading towards that position, no one could see but Bronya actually smiled a little, Bronya herself didn't even realize she was smiling for the first time after X-10 Experiment, wearing Project Bunny some Homu accessories she won, then she also put that special hook on the phone.
"What do you think?" Standing on the balcony alone, Raiden Ryoma was looking towards the skyrocket buildings that he had single-handedly built.
"Hmm, to speak about it, he is very promising, but our motto is not to involve unrelated people, so why are you asking my opinion?"
"I think we are too passive and inferior compared to Cocolia, above all, compared to Schicksal and World Serpent." The chairman said his thoughts clearly. He was not afraid that the person on the other end of the line would object or be afraid of revealing secrets because she was one of the people he trusted the most.
"I see, you want more manpower and new elements for our side."
Recalling the memories when selecting talented people like previous years, Raiden Ryoma read the profile of a very promising student named Fukabe Touma, he had very good academic performance and performed quite impressively in the highchool transition test. But the unusual thing is that his performance is very difficult to say. According to his school records as well as the comments of the previous teachers who taught him before, sometimes he is unusually good, sometimes he is just some plain student and not worth paying attention to, but he is the one behind the scenes orchestrating the success of the class he attend. It's hard to believe that a student with less than 10 years old can do such unbelievable things, and then today, when he met him, that student's behavior and ability to improvise were beyond imagination of Raiden Ryoma.
Not only rely on the short conversation in his office, but also when the two of them toured the ME Corps, his comments and way of speaking were not like a 16 year old boy at all. That's why he quickly called her to tell her how he felt. After looking at the boy's files for a while, the girl on the other end of the line continued.
"But I think it's too early to say anything. Let's watch him for a while longer before making a decision."
"Aye sir."
Einstein then hung up and brought Fukabe Touma's files into her view again, this time she focused on his last name and typed it into the computer containing Anti-entropy's vast database. There was one thing she had hidden from Raiden Ryoma, which was that Fukabe Touma was not completely unrelated to the deeper parts of this world, he was just not currently link deep enough into it.
"I wonder how things will turn out."
"I'm home."
"Welcome home."
As always, my grandmother was cooking and watching the news.
"Where did you go today?" she asked while putting food on the plate. Seeing that, i immediately came over to help her put the food on the table.
"I went out with a friend we met near ME Corps and he invited me to come along." Putting things on the table one by one, I replied.
"I'm very happy to make friends like that."
Today, there may be many happy and unexpected events, but seeing her gentle smile is still something that calms my heart. After chatting, eating and doing some works, I went to my room to prepare for tomorrow and go to sleep. I also didn't forget to record Bronya's appearance in the notebook I wrote to remember all the information about this world. But to say about it, Bronya's appearance is completely reasonable, otherwise it would be difficult to explain how Cocolia could slander Raiden Ryoma.
I tried not to think too deeply about this while I was hanging out with Bronya, but now the thoughts keep running through me. Helping Bronya also means that Cocolia will definitely succeed in framing Raiden Ryoma, and it also means that Mei will suffer terrible mental attacks and will soon be isolated according to the plot. and the possibility of me and everyone else dying will be higher. Although things would probably still be the same if I hadn't been involved, I had the opportunity to stop what was about to happen, with just a word to ME Corps security or even just advising the president to be careful not to let his computer get hacked is plenty enough. But I didn't, and now there was no way back. If several millions of people in Nagazora, including my grandmother and me, died during the outbreak, it was somewhat on me.
However, now, the only way is to continue moving forward to face what is about to happen and cope with the upcoming difficulties. And maybe I'm a little crazy, but in the current anxiety there is also excitement. Just like that, I fell asleep with a smile on my face and the phone with the Homu phone hook right next to me.
Well, that's for this chapter, and to say there's many thing happened lately. Just yesterday i figured out that my pc was hacked, also, my hoyoverse acoount was hacked 3 days ago, i'm really sad right now, to the point i'm sicked because too worry about it. If anyone have a way to take my account back, please inform me.

Thank you so much, hope you sastified with this chapter, if there's something wrong, please tell me about it wight away.
