When the three of them arrived at the door of the orphanage, they could see Priest Otto giving some instructions to the children who were there.
The children are very close to him, and this makes Kiana very upset.
Good Otto, not good Otto.
Evil Otto and can be killed, it's a good Otto.
"Are you all hungry? Kids, guess what we are having for lunch today?"
Entering the orphanage, and could see the children sitting neatly at the table. The cheerful Theresa, in contrast to the sad mood that everyone else had, became very eye-catching.
Seeing that no one answered Theresa's question. Seele mustered up the courage to speak.
"... Borscht?"
Theresa's tone became slightly excited: "Bup! Bup! You wrong Seele. That's Tuesday's menu. Wednesday's is potatoes and roast beef!"
Seeing that everyone was still silent, Theresa didn't give up, and she acted up once again.
"Bronya, will there be more potatoes or beef in the soup today?"
As someone who had lived in an orphanage, of course Bronya knew the answer was beef because it was an expensive product and was liked by everyone.
But seeing Theresa trying to lighten the mood, Bronya chose to cooperate with her.
"Potato?"
"Bup! Bup! You're wrong too Bronya! As a punishment, you have to eat more beef to grow taller faster!"
Hearing Theresa laugh, trying to lighten the mood. Joachim, who couldn't stand it, finally opened his mouth too.
"Theresa..."
"What's wrong, Joachim?"
"I know that you want to cheer us up... But you don't have to push yourself."
"Karel... is gone. We all just need time. You are the same."
"...."
Put down her spoon, and lowered her head so that her face could not be seen by anyone. Theresa looked helplessly at Joachim.
"Joachim, are you really... not going to reconsider?"
Joachim nodded his head: "I understand, Theresa. But I have decided."
Realizing that Joachim's determination was made up. Theresa's heart somehow felt heavier.
She forced a smile.
"... Alright, then let's eat first! Fill the stomach, and think about it later!"
Kiana clicked her tongue: "Aunt Theresa has always been like this. No matter how sad it is, she can always cheer up others as if she had never been sad. But at least, please read the mood a bit."
Ignoring Kiana's comments, or indeed not listening. Theresa was picking up plates of food for the children, and she was busy preparing dishes for everyone.
Joachim also helped her to arrange the dishes on the table.
"Oh, are you all going to lunch?" Priest Otto came out of his room, and he asked curiously.
Theresa: "Pastor, have you changed your clothes? Are you going out?"
Priest Otto nodded: "It's winter soon, I need to buy more groceries. Anyway, Theresa, would you like some pare biscuits?"
Offered her favorite snack. Theresa, who knew Priest Otto would buy those snacks for her, nodded her head happily.
"Of course I will! I really like crunchy pare biscuits, thank you Pastor!"
Otto was also pleased to see Theresa so cheerful: "I'll also buy some for you all. Everyone will be able to get one or two biscuits later."
Joachim hastily interjected: "That's not necessary at all Pastor. After all no one likes pare biscuits except Theresa. She always eats all the biscuits herself. So please save some money."
Pastor Otto laughed: "Hahaha, you don't have to worry about money, Joachim. I wanted to buy some because I thought you all liked them. Then how about I replace them with other biscuits?"
Seeing the kids nodding their heads excitedly. Otto smiled gently.
"Okay, then I'll buy you two chocolate biscuits later...." Priest Otto suddenly remembered something: "... Oh, yes Joachim. Miss lizelle will pick you up tomorrow. Have you packed your things yet?"
Joachim lowered his head.
"... No."
"Then you must get ready. Say goodbye to your friends, don't leave regrets."
Seeing Joachim who was silent, and bowed his head silently. Otto nodded to Theresa.
"I'll be out first. Please look after the house, Theresa."
"Yes, be careful on the road, Pastor!"
Waving her hand, and after that returned to the orphanage by locking the door tightly so that cold air could not enter the house. Theresa continued with her work, and everyone became busy.
Bronya, who had been watching everything silently, observed every clue. Start talking about her analysis.
"Bronya found something interesting. Looks like when we arrived in this world, we had a pretty good reality distortion effect."
"In the beginning we didn't belong to this world at all. But our identities would change according to the conditions. An example is now, the three of us became orphans."
"Bronya doesn't know if this is the law of this world, or this might be help from Joachim. However, Bronya guesses it is the last because the probability is higher."
"Now we no longer need to be afraid of the identity of illegal residents. Bronya thinks we can use this reality distortion effect to find more important information."
Thinking about all the anomalies she encountered along the way, and thinking about Joachim and Priest Otto's strange behavior before. Bronya, who was still thinking, suddenly saw Kiana's face which was very serious.
Her eyes darted left and right hesitantly, as if she was making a difficult decision.
Seeing Kiana's face covered in cold sweat, Bronya asked seriously.
"Kiana, what are you thinking about? Did you find clue?"
Kiana nodded her head seriously as well.
"Otto here, is a good man. I can't shoot him."
Bronya: "...."
Seele: "...."
Just as Kiana expected. She could think about this stupid matter like she was thinking about a law of the universe with an extremely serious expression.
It's a talent.
Bronya became dizzy.
"Kiana... Talking to you makes Bronya feel that Bronya's IQ has dropped drastically. Our goal is to get out of this world as soon as possible, so please act professionally."
Kiana pouted: "I am very serious! Papa said that there is no mercy for enemies! Deciding whether Otto in this world is an enemy or not, is a serious matter!"
Bronya became speechless.
"Whatever you say... Bronya has given up."
Took a deep breath, and turned to look at the children who were eating. Bronya's gaze fell on Joachim, and she saw the Genius in her hands right now.
If you are wondering what are the conditions and keys to get out of this world, then the answer is definitely Joachim.
Existence in the first world and in the second world, and aided by the Genius clue, had given Bronya an guess.
"It seems Joachim is a key point in the structure of this bubble universe. But what exam is needed to pass this test?"
Thinking of the figure of Joachim they met in the first world, and Joachim who was in the second world. Bronya raised her eyebrows like she had found something.
"No, making a decision right now is too fast. Bronya could be wrong."
"Maybe Bronya could ask Theresa for a hint."
When all the children had finished eating lunch, Theresa started packing up the children's toys that were scattered around. Bronya who found an opportunity, finally asked.
"Theresa, Bronya has something to ask you. Pastor said earlier that Joachim will soon be adopted. But why is his face so gloomy?"
"Shouldn't he be happy because he will soon have a new family? Or is there something wrong with his new family member?"
Hearing Bronya's question, Theresa scratched her cheek in distress.
"Actually, this matter is quite complicated. It's not what you imagine. It's just that Joachim and the priest had some conflicts."
Seele was curious: "Did something happen?"
Theresa nodded her head: "Pastor... He killed Joachim's father."
Bronya: "...."
Seele: "...."
Kiana: "....?"
Suddenly got news they never expected. The three of them immediately became silent.
Kiana clenched her fists excitedly: "Hah! It turns out he really is a bad person! My judgment is never wrong! No matter what world it is in, Otto is still Otto!"
Bronya frowned: "Kiana, at least wait for Theresa to finish speaking before making a decision. Theresa, please continue, why did all this happen?"
"Oh..."
Looked at Kiana in confusion, and saw Bronya who was curious about the story. Theresa chose to continue:
"There's nothing to hide actually. From the story I heard from the Pastor, Joachim's father was a doctor, and he tried to bring Joachim's mother back to life."
"He got hold of forbidden knowledge, and he started doing research on it."
"At first he just carried out experiments on white mice, and then switched to cats and dogs..."
"Finally, when the Pastor found him, Joachim's father was already conducting experiments on wandering orphans. That's why the Pastor had to stop him before things got worse."
Seele, who heard Theresa's story, covered her mouth in horror.
For Seele this is a very horrific story.
After all, he was an orphan too.
"That's so cruel..."
Theresa nodded her head: "You are right, but this also makes Joachim an orphan."
Finding the key point, Bronya finally understood: Understand, so Joachim hates Pastor?"
Theresa shook her head: "It's a relief if that's what happened. Joachim knew about his father's cruel actions, and understood the consequences. That's why Joachim never hated Pastor."
"...At least that's what I think."
"After all, ever since Joachim was brought here, he's taken care of us all like a good big brother, and protected us all."
"Joachim is very smart, and good with tools. There is nothing he can't fix here. It is because of this talent that the Pastor wants to pass this orphanage down to Joachim."
"However..."
Theresa scratched her cheek in distress. Seeing that Joachim was not here, Theresa began to speak in a low voice.
"...For some reason, after hearing this Joachim became gloomy. No one knows what he was thinking at that time."
"Not long after, Miss Lizelle from a neighboring town offered to adopt Joachim. And Joachim readily agreed."
Understand the chronology presented by Theresa. Bronya finally began to understand the beginning of the problems at the orphanage.
If it was like this, then things would be a bit simpler.
"It sounds like he's running away." Bronya gave her opinion.
"Yeah... Maybe he still hasn't forgotten his past. Maybe he's afraid that after inheriting this orphanage, he will follow the same path as the Pastor, taking people's lives, and becoming the same as him."
"However, I also don't really know what Joachim is thinking right now. If you want to know, you can ask him."
Get the information she wants. Bronya nodded her head in satisfaction.
"Thank you for answering our doubts, Theresa."
Theresa waved her hands frantically, and her face was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, it's not that important a secret anyway. There's no need to be so polite."
"Oh, speaking of the Pastor, why isn't Pastor still home yet? Night is coming soon."
"I have a bad feeling. You three, please look after the kids for a moment, I'll go check outside just in case."
Hearing Theresa was going outside, Kiana immediately offered herself to help.
However, from start to finish, apart from causing trouble, she never helped in the slightest.
Kiana felt that her body would now become too stiff.
"How about I come with you, aunt. It's almost night, and usually the wolves will start their hunting activities in a bit."
"I will protect you."
"Don't worry, as long as it's me here, auntie won't be hurt in the slightest!"
Theresa frowned: "Auntie? You call me auntie? How impolite! I just turned 14 years old today! Do you want to curse me so that I die quickly!?"
"Hey auntie, please don't be angry, I was just kidding..."
"Hm!"
Seeing Theresa ignored her, and slammed the exit door of the orphanage hard. Kiana and Bronya looked into each other's eyes, and they nodded their heads in unison.
Bronya and Kiana decide to help Theresa find pastor Otto.
However, Theresa never said to refuse their help. So her silence was taken as a sign of confirmation.
"Seele, please look after the children for a moment. Don't make them sleep too late."
Seele nodded her head: "Okay big sister Bronya, you can rest assured to entrust everything to Seele!"
"Hm, Bronya trusts Seele."
....
Exited the orphanage, and saw again the expanse of white snow painted by the serene orange sunlight. The temperature is getting colder, making these last rays of sunlight fail to complete their final task.
Can see Theresa disappearing at the end of the bend in the road. Kiana turned to Bronya.
"So can you use that Genius of yours to track the Pastor position? I'm curious."
Bronya's brows twitched: "...Don't underestimate Bronya. As long as he is a sea of quanta creature, there is nothing Bronya can't track after Genius gets the coordinates."
"However..."
Bronya suddenly stopped talking, and she looked at Kiana with a serious look.
"...Before Bronya tells you the location of the Pastor, Kiana, Bronya wants to ask you something. Are you going to shoot Pastor immediately when you see him?"
Kiana's brows twitched: "Bronya, what do you think of me? Even though I originally intended---ahem! I mean, the current me has no intention at all to shoot him."
"I realized that judging someone is good or bad by the things they haven't done is wrong."
"Even though I don't know how to deal with Otto in this world, I will still rely on my instincts to judge him later."
"If he's really good, then I'll let him go. But if he's really a bad person, then I'll shoot him straight away!"
Hearing this, Bronya fell silent.
Isn't this a double standard?
"Your thinking is too subjective. Basically you can shoot Pastor if you want or not. This is not a matter of good or bad." Bronya continued: "...So, what do you think of the current Pastor Otto?"
Kiana smiled broadly.
"Good person!"
"...That's quite blunt."
Realizing that the current Kiana would not impulsively kill priest Otto. Bronya lowered her guard.
However, Pastor seems to have a connection with Joachim in this world.
If Kiana killed Pastor Otto on purpose, and they failed the test given by Joachim. Bronya will order project bunny to strangle Kiana's neck until she suffocates.
This is truly inexcusable.
"Follow Bronya, Bronya will lead the way."
Takes out Genius, and sets the frequency coordinates of the beacon she once gave to Pastor Otto secretly. Bronya went west according to Genius' instructions, and Kiana followed behind.
Walk through the tree area, and enter the forest path. When Genius detected the spatial distortion, Bronya immediately raised her head quickly.
"ROAARRR!!!!"
A honkai beasts appears, and blocks their way suddenly.
"The spatial structure in this bubble universe is undergoing a slight change. What's going on? Is this closely related to Pastor?"
"ROARRRRR!!!"
"Kiana, clean them up. Bronya is thinking right now, please don't disturb."
"Okay~!"
....
Killed all the Honkai beasts in a matter of a few minutes, one shot, one kill. The two of them continued walking, and Bronya's footsteps stopped immediately.
It's not like there was any trouble on the road, but they had managed to find Pastor Otto.
It is just...
Why is this yellow-haired person sleeping in the snow?
Want to imitate penguin cosplay?
"... Looks like Bronya discovered the problem."
This chapter has a very bad conversation.
combining the words in the game into the novel is a bad idea. there is no image assistance here for sudden transition changes.
I won't want to do it again.
