Chapter 89

Seele: Bronya's embrace looks so warm, so soft, and so fragrant!

The outskirts of the large mining area.

The conflict gradually subsided after Schwarzroth drove all the vagrants and miners out.

Despite this, quite a few people were still injured.

Many buildings and facilities were destroyed in the chaos.

Near the camp, Natasha is treating the wounded.

Bronya remained silent, quietly helping out from behind.

Seeing her tirelessly helping to treat the wounded behind Natasha, Seele's eyes softened.

This young lady from the upper district seemed quite different from the Silvermane Iron Guards she remembered.

She is gentle and kind, and she will take the initiative to help when she sees someone being bullied.

At this time,

Bronya, however, felt very heavy-hearted.

She had just spoken with Oleg, the apparent leader of the Earthfire and a former Silvermane Iron Guard.

Although she had been somewhat prepared, she still hadn't expected the situation underground to be this bad.

Almost all the cities have been occupied by the beings created by the rift, and many people have been displaced.

But many more had already perished at the hands of those monsters.

The only places where humans can survive are Rocky Town and a small area nearby.

Has life become so difficult for the people of the Lower District after losing the Silvermane Iron Guards?

Was the mother wrong?

Or... has she really been bewitched by the Star Core?

In any case, all I can do now is try my best to help these people who are suffering in dire straits.

Just then, a hand was placed on her shoulder.

Bronya was startled and turned to look.

She noticed that Natasha was smiling and looking at her.

"All the wounded who were brought in have been treated for the time being."

"Thank you for your hard work, Bronya. Without your help, the treatment would probably have taken much longer."

"If only Seele could be as gentle as you."

Natasha said, half-jokingly.

"Hey! Nata! Don't you dare embarrass me like that!"

"It's like I didn't help at all!"

"Helping to transport supplies is tiring too, you know!"

Seele protested, glancing furtively at Bronya beside her.

Hearing this amusing conversation, Bronya covered her mouth and chuckled twice, glancing at Seele beside her.

Sensing her gaze, Seele quickly looked away.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."

Natasha glanced at Bronya, then at Seele, a maternal smile appearing on her lips.

"You all rest for a while, I'll go take a look at other places first."

Right? Right?

As expected, Natasha also thinks the Sapphire Blue pairing is great to ship, right?

Not far away, Xi Yao was secretly observing.

After Natasha left, Bronya and Seele sat side by side, seemingly chatting.

It seems like it's my turn to make an appearance.

Xi Yao smiled slightly and walked over.

"Bronya, my sister~"

Hearing someone call her name, Bronya looked in the direction of the voice and found Xi Yao standing in front of her.

"Xiyao?"

"Why are you here?"

Hehe~

"Of course I miss you~"

Xi Yao smiled slightly and threw herself into Bronya's arms, wriggling around restlessly.

"Xi Yao, please don't do this!"

"There are other people here..."

Despite saying that, Bronya did not push Xi Yao away.

"Oh……"

Xi Yao responded and obediently stopped moving.

Seeing this, Seele clenched her fists.

For some reason, seeing Xi Yao holding Bronya gave her the feeling that something of hers had been taken away.

She suddenly had an urge to rush over, grab Xi Yao, beat her up, throw her away, and then throw herself into Bronya's arms.

As soon as the idea came to mind, Seele blushed.

What's wrong with me?

Why would such a strange idea come to mind?

Isn't it normal for a little girl to want Bronya to hug her?

Stop, Seele!

It's so embarrassing to be jealous of a young girl!

……

But Bronya's embrace looked so warm, so soft, and so fragrant!

bah bah bah!

What am I thinking!

She's a Silvermane Iron Guard from the Upper District, and I'm from the Earthfire District. We're just ordinary friends at best. How could we do that?

Seele!

Be serious!

After taking a few deep breaths, Seele managed to suppress her intense jealousy.

But the blush on her cheeks did not completely disappear.

Seele was unaware of this.

All she wants now is to forget that shameful thought as soon as possible.

She glanced at Bronya furtively.

Fortunately, her attention was focused on Xi Yao, and she didn't notice anything unusual about herself.

However, at that moment...

"Hey, Seele, why is your face so red?"

"Are you sick?"

Xi Yao tilted her head and asked with an innocent look.

Seele froze, cursing under her breath.

Damn it, can't you just shut up?

At Xi Yao's prompting, Bronya also noticed the blush on Seele's cheeks.

Are you alright?

"No...it's nothing!"

Seele stretched, revealing her perfect curves.

He then answered casually.

"Are you really alright?"

"Your face looks quite red; have you caught a cold?"

Bronya asked with a concerned look.

As she spoke, she reached out and touched Seele's forehead.

"Strange, there's no fever."

Seele hurriedly and frantically slapped Bronya's hand away.

"Oh dear, I already told you, I'm fine!"

Why is she angry?

Bronya was somewhat puzzled.

She didn't seem to quite understand Seele's thought process.

However, she didn't pay much attention to it.

Never mind, it's good that nothing happened.

Just then, Natasha walked over, looking worried.

"Seele, Bronya, there are too many wounded, and it seems we don't have enough supplies here."

"Could you please go to Rivet Town and retrieve some medical supplies for me?"

"Nata, I can handle this by myself."

Natasha shook her head.

"Rivet Town has been corrupted by the Rift, and monsters are everywhere."

"It's too risky for you to go alone."

"But……"

"I'm willing to help!"

Bronya said firmly:

"I have a lot of experience dealing with rifts, so I'm sure I can be of help."

Seeing that she was so willing to help, Xi'er thought about it and finally decided not to refuse.

She put one hand on her hip and said with a smug look:

"Hmph, then... don't drag me down!"

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Natasha smiled and took out a list.

"I've written down everything I need, along with their approximate locations."

"Go early and come back early, and be careful."

"Don't worry, Nata, we'll be back soon."

"Goodbye, Bronya! Goodbye, Seele!"

Xi Yao waved her hands, and because she waved them so hard, her pigtails swayed gently, making her look very cute.

"goodbye!"

Bronya smiled and waved, then followed Seele as they walked away into the distance.

Looking at the two figures from behind, Xi Yao smiled slightly.

Here it comes!

The much-anticipated moment of the relationship heating up!

This time, I'm going to have to put on a good show for our time alone!

Hehe~
