Chapter 145: "Like water and oil"

If there wasn't a Genius device warning her, Bronya maybe have thought that the Seele in her arms right now was the Seele born in this bubble universe.

But...

Looking at Seele who was crying with a crybaby in her arms. Bronya didn't need to look at the Genius to find out, that this was the Seele she'd always been looking for.

"Bronya finally found you. Seele, let's go home."

"Hm!"

Seele nodded her head vigorously.

She smiled happily.

Stand aside, and watch this very touching reunion. Himeko, Cocolia, and also Kiana, who had been paying attention all this time, admitted that at this time they really felt very confused.

Himeko: "So is this the reunion of little sister and big sister who have been separated for a long time, or is there someone from the family pass away? Is there anyone who can give me the initial synopsis of the story?"

Cocolia: "I think Bronya and Seele had a good relationship yesterday... Did the two of them eat something wrong? Why are they crying?"

Kiana: "I don't know, but I was stunned. So I decided to stay silent."

....

Waiting for them to finish crying, and allowing the two of them to calm down a bit. Seele who noticed that there were many eyes watching her at this time, suddenly felt very embarrassed.

"That... Seele is sorry..."

Her face turned red rapidly, and she immediately hid behind Bronya's back like a frightened white rabbit.

Bronya also noticed the strange atmosphere around her at this time, and she coughed loudly.

"Ahem, Bronya just misses Seele. Sorry for troubling you all."

Himeko asked: "Is that really alright? Even though it's an urgent mission, if you're not prepared then you can withdraw if you want. After all, this mission isn't that important."

Bronya shook her head: "It's okay teacher Himeko. Bronya is well prepared. Bronya won't let you all down."

Seele who realized that she had messed up also nodded her head quickly.

"Sorry for seeing Seele suddenly cry. Seele just misses big sister Bronya. Please don't cancel the mission because of Seele..."

Standing in front of Bronya and Seele. Cocolia, who saw these two good girl in front of her, could only helplessly sigh.

She smiled.

"Alright, if you girls have something you want to talk about, then we'll discuss it later after the mission is over."

"Now, let's go to Helios and complete this mission as soon as possible."

"Squad V, depart!"

____

When they boarded the transportation vehicle, and arrived at their destination. Himeko explained once again their purpose for coming to this place.

"Three days ago, the convoy belonging to the headquarters was attacked. Although there were no casualties, the important assets stored there have disappeared."

"This attack was most likely orchestrated by the secret organization we know as Anti-Entropy."

"Whatever the purpose, we have to retrieve this valuable asset. So for that we will be split into two groups to carry out different missions."

Cocolia and I are going to the Argent Fox, to catch him, and at the same time find out the location of our belongings from his mouth."

"As for Kiana, Bronya and Seele, you three will secretly survey this place, and try to find out where the treasured assets are hidden."

"Now do you understand?"

Kiana, Bronya, Seele: "Understand!"

"Good, then let's not waste any more time, let's start the mission."

....

Parting ways with Himeko and Cocolia, and walking towards a secluded place. Feeling that no one was paying attention to them at the moment, Kiana, who had been looking at Seele with vigilance, immediately asked.

"Who is she? Your little sister?"

Bronya shook her head: "No, she is Bronya's friend. Seeing the expression on your face you may be confused by the current situation. So Bronya will explain."

"Bronya's real goal in entering the sea of ​​quanta is to save Seele, the subject of the X-10 experiment, and bring her back to reality."

"It all started from..."

Explains the ins and outs of the origins of the problem, from the X-10 experiment, to its original purpose of entering the Sea of ​​Quanta. Bronya explained it simply so that Kiana could understand.

However...

Hearing what Bronya said, Kiana couldn't help but frown even deeper.

"How could big sister Thea do such a cruel thing! You slandered my big sister!"

"But the evidence is in plain sight. even If you ignore the facts, then how come Seele was exiled to the Sea of ​​quanta?"

"Hm! You think I'm going to believe a word that's coming out of your mouth, you short devil!"

"...This is the reason why Bronya won't talk to idiots. They are all so stubborn!"

"What did you say!?"

"That..." Seele who saw the atmosphere was getting heated, gulped her saliva nervously, and she worked up the courage to interrupt the two of them.

"Please... Don't fight anymore because Seele... Seele is sorry..."

"Seele, you don't have to apologize to her."

"But... Seele doesn't want to see you two fight again..."

Bronya: "...."

Kiana: "...."

Could see Bronya's eyes getting colder, and Seele looking at her in fear. Kiana who was outnumbered, and also morally demoralized, could only compromise in the end.

She scratched her hair in confusion.

"...I don't know why I'm like the bad guy here. Actually I don't really hate you girls, it's just that I can't stand you slandering my big sister just like that. Seele, I'm also sorry for being rude to you."

"No, it's fine... Seeing big sister Bronya and big sister Kiana making up again, Seele felt very happy. After all, we're still in the same team right? We all have to work together!"

"Hm, nice words, Seele." Bronya praised her.

Melt the tense atmosphere, and managed to restore harmony back. Kiana who put this matter aside for the time being, directly asked about their next topic.

"So after finding Seele, what should we do now?"

Bronya answered her: "Of course get out of this bubble universe as soon as possible. For that, Bronya has found a clue."

Take out Genius, and show it to Kiana and Seele. Bronya started to explain.

"When we got to this place, Genius showed a response in an area. It's located in a remote warehouse to the north. It's most likely the key to us getting out of this bubble universe."

Seele raised her hand: "Then what about the missions matushka Cocolia gave us? Shall we just leave them?"

Bronya was confused: "In that case... In the most optimal side, we can abandon this mission. After all, the three of us are not from this world..."

Kiana snorted: "Then I refuse! I will not go with you before I complete this mission!"

"The reason?"

"Papa told me that Kaslana never broke the promises they made. Besides, big sister Bianka taught me how important a promise is."

"I will never disappoint what they gave me. If you want to go, please go. I will stay here until the mission is over."

Bronya frowned: "Oh, if that's what you want, then feel free to stay here."

Seele's body shook: "Big sister Kiana, big sister Bronya please don't fight anymore..."

Feels like balancing water with oil, never blends seamlessly. Seele wiped the cold sweat off her forehead, and she tried to find a way to calm the current situation.

Bronya could only shake her head helplessly.

"Jeez... You really are so troublesome. How about just put it this way."

"Since you are so adamant, and we are still on the same team, then Bronya will go easy on you."

"We'll complete the search mission first, and after that we'll figure out how to get out of this bubble universe as soon as possible."

"After everything is done, then you must obey my orders and don't act rashly again. Do you accept that?"

Kiana : "Okay, then I agree! So when do we finish the mission?"

Bronya: "Of course now, you idiot tuna."

Seele: "Eh?"

Without her own intervention, the solution was simply resolved seamlessly.

Seele scratched her cheek in confusion.
