Gundam! My God, Gundam!

Deep in the large mining area.

Seele and Bronya were attacked by wanderers shortly after they arrived.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

I'm hungry!

Although it was the first time the two had fought side by side, their teamwork was surprisingly seamless.

The back-and-forth exchanges were perfect, both in terms of positioning and the seamless transitions between attacks.

Coupled with the difference in their combat strength, the wanderers failed to ambush the enemy and were instead brutally beaten.

Looking down at the homeless people lying on the ground, Seele looked down at them with disdain.

"With this little strength, you dare to cause trouble in the mining area?"

"They don't know how to be down-to-earth and are always thinking about getting something for nothing."

"Get out of here!"

One of the homeless men clutched his stomach, pointed at Seele with resentment, and uttered harsh words.

"You, you just wait!"

Seele stood with her hands on her hips, her expression unusually calm.

"I'm always ready!"

After making those threats, the homeless men slunk away.

As they disappeared into the distance, Seele glanced at Bronya beside her with some surprise.

"I didn't realize that this young lady from the upper district is quite capable in combat. She's definitely not just a pretty face."

"But you went too far. Those homeless people won't learn their lesson if you do that."

Bronya sensed something unspoken in her words and asked curiously:

"Do these homeless people often like to cause trouble in the mining area?"

"That's not entirely true," Seele shook her head, explaining to Bronya:

"Most homeless people are quite honest."

"The miners gave them jobs and allowed them to live in the large mining area."

"They also cherish this job."

"But you also know, in a big forest, you'll find all kinds of birds."

There is always a small group of people who are lazy and unwilling to work, even though they have jobs, and only want to get something for nothing.

"However, I didn't expect that you, a young lady from the upper district, would actually have some ability."

Bronya smiled confidently upon hearing this:

"Of course, the Silvermane Iron Guards have been fighting against the Rift on the front lines."

"As the leader, I should naturally take the lead and fight to protect Beloborg and all his people."

Seele gave a cold laugh.

"It's a pity that in the eyes of that High Guardian, the people of the Lower District no longer seem to be considered citizens of Beloborg."

"Otherwise, why would she have withdrawn all the Silvermane Iron Guards from the lower city?"

"She doesn't care about the lives of us lower-class people at all."

"..."

Bronya fell silent.

She had considered that without the Silvermane Iron Guards, the people in the lower districts might not fare so well.

But when she actually arrived in the lower district, she discovered that the situation of the lower-class people was far worse than bad.

That was absolutely agonizing.

Not only is food scarce, but they also have to fight against monsters from the Rift.

It's hard to imagine how difficult it would be for the poorly equipped lower-class people to fight against the Rift Monsters without the protection of the Silvermane Iron Guards.

All of this was caused by the decision of the Great Guardian, his own mother.

She really wanted to say that her mother must have her reasons for doing all this.

But she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Looking at the sallow, emaciated faces and the suffering figures in the lower tiers,

She simply couldn't bring herself to say those words.

Meanwhile, not far away.

Seeing this, Xi Yao frowned.

This atmosphere... isn't good!

It's rare that their feelings for each other have improved; if things continue like this, they'll probably drop back down again.

We need to find a way to warm up their relationship.

Although Xi Yao really wanted to do what she did last time and just throw Bronya and Seele onto the same bed.

But it seems a bit too early now.

Moreover, going too fast isn't always a good thing; sometimes, going slower can actually make the experience better (referring to dating).

Since that's the case, let's take it slow.

Let them continue fighting side by side and change their perception of each other.

After thinking it over, Xi Yao transformed herself into an injured miner.

He quickly ran towards Bronya and Seele.

"Something terrible has happened!"

"Something terrible has happened! Miss Seele!"

Xi Yao scrambled to her feet and crawled to the two of them.

Xi'er reached out her hands and helped Xi Yao up.

"What's wrong?"

"There was a group of unarmed miners inside, surrounded by the vagrants!"

Xi Yao pointed to a small path not far away, her face full of anxiety.

"What?" Seele was taken aback.

"Take us there quickly!"

"good!"

Under Xi Yao's guidance, Bronya and Seele overcame numerous obstacles and quickly drove away all the wanderers they encountered along the way, their teamwork becoming increasingly seamless.

Feeling that it was about time, Xi Yao stopped making a move and began to observe secretly.

Fighting side by side is one of the fastest ways to build bonds.

That's why she lied to Seele, saying that the wanderers and the miners were fighting.

Some of you might be wondering at this point:

Xi Yao, wasn't it a member of the Earthfire who notified hope Er?

The answer is simple.

Whether it was the Earth Fire members who went to report the news at the beginning, or the miners she met later, they were all Xi Yao in disguise.

The conflict between miners and homeless people actually ended a long time ago.

Unsurprisingly, Schwarzkopf arrived and stopped them.

But Seele was unaware of this.

This gave Xi Yao the opportunity to create a private time for her and Bronya.

She used an illusion to temporarily stop Walter and his companions.

They then used the same method to create the illusion that the wanderers were causing trouble in the mining area, so that Bronya and Seele would fight side by side, thus quickly bringing them closer together.

But to go further, a more suitable opportunity is clearly needed.

The recovery period following this conflict is clearly a perfect opportunity.

However... I seem to have forgotten something.

What is it?

Xi Yao tilted her head in thought.

Not far away, Xing's screams could be heard.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Holy crap!"

"I want to go home!!!"

Xi Yao suddenly realized.

Oh right, I forgot about that.

Not long after...

"Thank you, Xiyao."

"If it weren't for you, I'd still be flying in the sky right now."

Xing rubbed his nearly cracked bottom and thanked Xi Yao with an admiring look on his face.

The scene of Xi Yao descending from the heavens like a goddess to defeat the automatons and save her was deeply imprinted in her mind.

I wipe!

That's so cool!

Coach, I want to learn this!

"Yeah yeah!"

"Those self-destructing robots are absolutely terrifying!"

March 7th shrank back, and said with lingering fear.

Although she was not injured.

But I was still terrified.

Even Dan Heng nodded.

"Thanks."

Although he can defeat these robots when he gets serious, that requires him to use his hidden powers.

If possible, he doesn't want to use that power for the time being.

Therefore, this thank you was truly heartfelt.

However, he did not know that these robots were actually an illusion created by Xi Yao.

See, they actually have to thank us!

Xi Yao suppressed a laugh and waved her hand dismissively, feigning magnanimity.

"Ugh~"

"Why be so polite?"

"Aren't we companions?"

"Helping each other is the right thing to do."

"Hey, what's wrong with Uncle Yang?"

On March 7th, it seemed that he saw something and pointed to something not far away.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Walter kneeling on the ground, head down, silent.

"Mr. Walter must be considering his next course of action, right?"

After pondering for a moment, Danheng gave his guess.

Xinghe and March 7th suddenly realized.

"Oh! I see!"

"As expected of Uncle Yang!"

However, at that moment, Walter slowly raised his head and emitted a sharp, explosive sound.

"Gundam! My God, Gundam!"

"I was so close to touching it!"

"I hate it!"

……

6!
