When Bronya and Kiana enter the second world. The first thing they saw was a huge white blanket.
The expanse of snow that covered the mountains, the chill that stung the spinal cord, and the icy white dust that carried a deathly beauty.
"Where is this?"
"This is Siberia. Bronya very sure."
"Really, Why are you so sure that this is in Siberia? I also grew up in Siberia, and then why I don't know where this place? Please don't trick me!"
".... Did you see the stars in the sky? You can tell your position if you look carefully."
"Star? Where?"
".... In your heart."
"...You're made joke... right?"
"Ahem! Bronya only looked at the Genius and Terrain maps. Don't take it too seriously."
Kiana: "...."
Talking for a bit, and observing their surroundings closely. Bronya suddenly felt the book she was holding in her right hand change, and she could feel a pair of soft and warm hands, clasping hers at this time.
Noticing that Seele had appeared beside her silently. Bronya squeezed Seele's hand gently, and she smiled in relief.
"Seele, Bronya very happy for you to appear here again. Bronya miss you."
"Hm, Seele also happy to see big sister Bronya again. Seele really grateful."
Tighten the grip of hands between the two of them, as if afraid of losing each other. Both Bronya and Seele smiled sweetly seeing that the other side was fine.
Kiana: "Sorry to interrupt your time. But did you guys see the same thing that I saw? Do you think it was Otto?"
Look at the direction indicated by Kiana. Bronya could see the blonde haired man, wearing white ceremonial clothes, kneeling with his back to them.
Behind him, Bronya could see small children huddled together with sad faces, and Bronya found some familiar faces there.
"Vice principal Theresa, Overseer Otto, and also Joachim. Judging from their attitudes, they seem to be currently performing a funeral ceremony."
Seele nodded her head: "That blond haired man is the priest at the orphanage up on the hill. Does big sister Bronya know him?"
Called project bunny's database, and compared the photo of the blonde haired man with Overseer Otto in the real world. This time Bronya nodded her head with one hundred percent confidence.
"That's right, this person looks a lot like the former leader of Schicksal. Overseer, Otto Apocalipse. That's unmistakable."
Kiana, who heard this, immediately became excited, and she took the weapon hanging from her waist quickly.
"I didn't see wrong! He really is that bastard Otto!"
"In the previous world I regretted being kicked out so quickly. Looking at it now, I won't hesitate anymore!"
"Bronya don't stop me! I'm going to punch a few holes in his body this instant!"
Hearing what Kiana said, Bronya could only look at Kiana with a helpless look.
"Bronya won't stop you. But before committing a murder incident, please take a look at the place first."
"Do you want to add new trauma to the children, make them see real murder scenes in front of them?"
"Instead of acting rashly, let's take a look at the situation first."
"However, it seems this Otto isn't the Otto we know. Maybe he's different."
Kiana gritted her teeth: "Ugh, why does everything always end like this? Why this world always stop me from purging evil?"
Ignoring Kiana's complaints, and rushed towards them. Seele followed Bronya, and they could see a crowd of children standing in front of the tombstones.
Bronya could hear the blonde haired man's voice preaching in a very deep voice.
The gloomy atmosphere around the children, makes the world even more colder.
Otto: "Karel my child... Please look after Michael there. If he wants your candy, please give him half."
"...And take care of Tania too. She still can't walk..."
Otto's voice grew heavier.
"My child.. you have gone before us, to pave the way for your friends. Hope... you all can rest in peace there."
Paying his last respects to the poor departed souls. Priest Otto got up from where he was kneeling, and when he turned around, he could see the sad children's faces staring at the cold tombstones.
"My children, if you are wondering why some people have to leave early, then this is called the ordeal of death."
"No more sorrow, wailing, pain, terror... Now... Just history."
Raised his head, and realized that his words couldn't change anything, not even their sad faces. Priest Otto could only smile helplessly.
"My children, let's go home. Is there anything else you want to say?"
Theresa nodded her head, and she walked to the front of the tombstone carrying a toy.
"Karel, this is your favorite toy, wooden car."
Theresa placed it quietly on top of the snow.
"Joachim and I used crayons to cover up the peeling paint. It's not perfect, but..."
Wanted to say more, but felt a suffocation in her throat, because the person she wanted to tell couldn't hear her voice anymore. Theresa could only smile gently.
"Hopefully you can find heaven there. A place where you can live happily."
"...Goodbye, Karel."
Saying the last goodbyes, and letting the kids say theirs too. After everything was finished, Priest Otto brought them all back home.
Watch the beginning and end of the funeral ceremony. After they all left, the three of them decided to come out of the hiding place.
Bronya stood in front of the tombstone in a daze.
Bronya: "This place is a grave for young children. No bouquets, no photos. Just a priest, and a group of children saying their goodbyes. It was like..."
Seele: "Like our orphanage, right?"
Bronya saw Seele's calm face, and she nodded her head gently.
Looked at the direction they were going, and realized that there was a building standing at the top of the hill. Bronya who knew that it must be their orphanage, looked at Kiana.
"So Kiana, do you still want to shoot Otto? In this world he's like a priest in an orphanage. Do you really want to kill him?"
Kiana had a hard time choosing, and she ended up putting both guns back reluctantly.
Kiana sighed.
"I'm not an animal that doesn't know what's good and what's bad. I can see that all the kids depend on him a lot."
"Although I really want to beat Otto right now, I know that the Otto in this world has done nothing wrong to me."
"Tch, I'm just annoyed."
"This time I let him off the hook."
"... It really sucks."
Hearing Kiana's voice getting smaller and smaller, and in the end it turned into an indistinct scolding voice, mixed with dissatisfaction. Bronya shook her head, and she guided Seele to go up the hill.
"Let's go into the orphanage first. Joachim is there, maybe we'll find a clue."
