Chapter 122

As long as you pull the trigger, it will easily disappear.

Whether it is the enemy's life or one's own life.

They are all such fragile things.

"Eh, it seems that values need to be fundamentally corrected." Bai Ge sighed.

The current Bronya is obviously broken. After being kidnapped since childhood, she was trained as a weapon. Those gray eyes without highlights were lifeless, full of numbness, dead silence, and emptiness, just like a doll without a heart.

"What a pitiful child."

"…………"

"Good! Decided, from now on you are adopted by me. Give me a fresh start, Bronya."

"Are you trying to be Bronya's master?"

The girl tilted her head in confusion.

Bai Ge's words made her first reaction that she had been handed over to a new organization again, and there would soon be a new mission.

However, Bai Ge shook his head, and at the same time raised his hand to touch her silver-gray hair and said.

"The Hearth Orphanage has no master. Everyone living here is family. From today on, you can call me Father."

"Father? What does that mean?"

"If you are willing, you will understand soon, and now it is time for you to make a choice."

Bai Ge raised his left hand, holding a pistol of Bronya in this hand.

At the same time, he also raised his right hand, but in this hand was a Homu doll.

Bronya looked at these two hands blankly.

Instinct told her that this was an important choice.

She first subconsciously wanted to reach out to take the gun in the left hand, but stopped just before touching the pistol. The girl's gaze was deeply attracted by the Homu doll in Bai Ge's right hand.

She really didn't know how to choose. Bronya Zaychik couldn't imagine what kind of future she would walk on after choosing either side.

But...

Every time after performing a mission, Bronya felt that a part of her heart was empty. Every time she solved a mission target, it was as if she had lost something important. The girl's soul seemed to be reduced time and time again.

If it continues, Bronya felt that one day she would no longer be herself. She instinctively didn't want to have that feeling again.

Bronya Zaychik, she didn't want to pull the trigger on anyone anymore!

"Well done, Bronya."

Bai Ge showed a satisfied smile, looking at the girl who took the Homu doll and hugged it tightly in her arms.

"Bronya, did you choose correctly?"

"Of course, although I want to tell you that, the answer to this question can only be answered by you in the future. Now... welcome to the Hearth Orphanage, Bronya."

"Yay yay yay yay――!" xN

Cheers that seemed to overturn the roof came. Bronya was startled. She saw many people suddenly appearing from windows, doorways, ceilings, and even under the beds.

They were all girls of the Hearth Orphanage. These girls, who were about the same age as Bronya, were now happy to have a new family member.

Seele was clapping happily.

Rozaliya and Liliya cheered with their hands held high.

Even Bronya Zaychik smiled a little.

"Alright children, quiet down, you scared Bronya."

Bai Ge clapped his hands to let the surroundings quiet down.

"I understand your feelings. The appearance of a new family member is worth our good welcome and celebration, so everyone together... Seele, you take Bronya to the bathroom to take a good bath, I will prepare a sumptuous dinner."

"Okay, Father Bai Ge, Seele knows."

"Then let us help Father cook together!"

"Rozaliya and Liliya, uh, you go with the others to prepare a bedroom for Bronya, uh, just use the one next to Seele's."

"Rozaliya received!"

"Liliya received!"

Seeing this pair of sisters run out excitedly, Bai Ge hurriedly gave a hint to the other children. Immediately, everyone nodded hard to show that they would help watch those two living treasures.

On the other side, Bronya was completely confused. The vibrant and warm Hearth Orphanage was too different from the cold and ruthless organization she had been in the past.

She still needed some time to adapt to her new home.

"... Home."

The girl muttered this word. For some reason, an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

Bai Ge touched Bronya's head lovingly.

The current Bronya needs the healing of time. If it were just the emotional closure caused by physical injuries like in the original timeline, Bai Ge could treat it directly with the power of the Herrscher of Death.

But like this kind of emotional closure caused by sad experiences, it can only be solved by time.

Perhaps to avoid breaking down in a cruel environment, Bronya unconsciously froze her heart, but as long as she is allowed to feel the warmth called love again, that heart will melt sooner or later.

"Bronya, no one will hurt you anymore. Next, you will welcome a new life."

"... New, life?"

The girl's eyes were still full of confusion, but at this moment, feeling the warmth around her and Bai Ge's care, a faint light appeared in Bronya's eyes.

――――

(Finally waited for Bronya to appear, must make a good celebration tonight.)

Bai Ge was busy in the kitchen, with the cooking skills that had improved to a higher level in these two months, skillfully and neatly processing various ingredients.

Perhaps there is still a gap from the realm of the cooking mother, but with his rapid upgrade, it is foreseeable that Mei's position as the number one chef in Honkai 3rd may not be guaranteed in the future.

"Beet soup is a must-have dish. By the way, the potato chicken wings Mei made before were quite delicious. Since there are ingredients, let's try making them. Also make some egg dishes. She is in the stage of growing her body now. If she doesn't eat something good to supplement nutrition, how can she grow into a future big Bronya."

However, just when Bai Ge was very interested in showing off his cooking skills, a loud noise suddenly came from outside.

Boom――!

"Eh~ which naughty ghost is it this time." Bai Ge could only put down the kitchen knife for the time being.

Then, in the blink of an eye, he had teleported to the door of the room prepared for Bronya. After preparing mentally, he opened the door, and then saw a scene that made him laugh and cry.

The ones who caused the accident were predictably the problem children of the Hearth Orphanage, the twin sisters, Rozaliya and Liliya.

They saw the two lying on the collapsed single bed in a novel posture. The moment they saw Bai Ge, their little faces turned pale.

"Father came too fast, Liliya hasn't thought of an excuse to push all the responsibility to Rozaliya yet!"

(Novel group number)

"Yes, yes, eh wait, Liliya, what did you just say!!"

"Cough, cough, someone explain the situation to me."

Bai Ge coughed lightly, looking at the vodka sisters with a dark smile. Under the full aura of the guardian, the girls huddled together trembling.

Afterward, a girl raised her hand to explain the situation.

It turned out that Rozaliya and Liliya were thinking of performing a program to welcome Bronya to join the Hearth Orphanage. The two were jumping up and down on the stage called a single bed, and as a result, they accidentally collapsed the bed.

"Father Bai Ge, we were wrong!"

"Yes, yes, if you want to punish, punish Rozaliya, it has nothing to do with Liliya."

"Liliya is too much! I announce it's all Liliya's fault, Father, if you want to blame, blame Liliya!"

Worthy of being the famous plastic sisters of the Hearth Orphanage.

At the critical moment, they immediately betrayed each other to preserve themselves. Biological sisters are meant to be sold at critical moments!

Bai Ge laughed and cried as he picked them up from the broken bed, one in each hand. After carefully checking that the two were not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, alright, don't quarrel between sisters."

"Father/Father Bai Ge." x2

"How could I blame you? Rozaliya and Liliya accidentally collapsed the bed to welcome Bronya, right? You must be careful next time. If you get hurt, Father will be very heartbroken."

?? Seeking flowers?????????

"Father/Father Bai Ge!!" x2

The two sisters were moved to a mess, and they rushed over to give Bai Ge a bear hug, and at the same time swore in their hearts that they must be good girls and obedient girls who would not cause trouble for Father Bai Ge in the future.

However, in the next second...

"Put this aside for now. I am very confused. Even if our family's bed is not high-end, it is carefully selected by me with quality assurance. Why could it be collapsed by you two jumping up and down?"

"Ah this..." x2

Rozaliya and Liliya shifted their gazes guiltily at the same time, and a drop of cold sweat flowed down from the top of their heads.

Bai Ge raised his hand to pinch the chubby little faces of the two, and weighed the two girls up and down in his arms, and then that pair of golden eyes narrowed. ===== CHAPTER 123 =====
