Chapter 86: It's too lonely to go to the Quantum Sea alone, take her with you
After enjoying a fairly sumptuous meal in the [Nest], the raven stood up and began to clear the table. Sora and the other children also took the initiative to help.
The two guests, Kirataka and Bronya, temporarily came to the outside of the [Nest].
After buying the whereabouts of Raider Ryoma from Raven, he planned to set off for the Quantum Sea.
Of course, he couldn't summon the projection of the Cosmic Juggernaut in East City, so he had to say goodbye to Bronya, Raven, and the others and find a secluded place to perform the [Projection Magic].
"By the way, Bronya, did you bring the things?"
Kirataka asked the silver-haired girl beside him.
"You mean... items related to Seele?"
"Well, like I told you before we left today, although there is no evidence, if possible, bring items related to Seele with you. I might be more likely to meet her there."
The quantum ocean is so vast. To find a specific figure in this boundless world, he needs to take measures to increase his success rate as much as possible.
Carrying objects related to the other party is also one of the ways to increase the probability of meeting Seele.
——Just like when summoning a Heroic Spirit, using a specific holy relic can increase the success rate of the targeted summoning. Well, that's roughly the principle.
Su also told him this matter when they were in the [Seed of Sumeru] before.
What he actually wanted were some small items that were easy to carry with him, such as the hairpins used by Seele, or a small notebook.
However, after careful consideration, Bronya had apparently already prepared another more suitable "thing."
She said immediately:
"I've thought about it. If you need something related to Seele, then... bring her with you."
As the words fell, the silver-haired girl thought about it, and a huge mecha appeared behind her.
——This mecha is what she wants to give to Kirataka. It is something related to Seele.
"The Project Bunny... should be able to help you."
Bronya stroked the mecha that had been with her for a year and spoke in an affirmative tone.
——This mecha was originally the gift that Seele gave her when she was leaving, so in the final analysis, it is also Seele's creation and has an indelible connection with Seele.
Moreover, the Project Bunny itself was created by Seele after she was quantized and before she completely disappeared. Compared with other things, it is more closely related to Seele who was lost in the quantum sea.
In that case, letting Kirataka take the Project Bunny to the quantum sea to look for Seele should also increase the probability of meeting her.
Moreover, the Project Bunny itself also possesses certain auxiliary combat capabilities and various convenient functions, making it a very practical mecha.
"Well, it seems that it is not impossible."
Kirataka looked at the big guy behind Bronya and touched his chin.
Although it is quite different from what he imagined, taking this mecha with him is indeed a good choice.
After deciding to loan the Project Bunny to Kirataka temporarily, the silver-haired girl also began to prepare for the handover.
[Transfer of authority is in progress...]
At the same time, Bronya also has some concerns:
She has never handed the bunny to anyone other than herself, and it is still unknown whether Kirataka can successfully take over the control of her reinstalled bunny.
Theoretically speaking, as a gift from Seele, the only ones who could perfectly control the project bunny should be her and Seele.
Kirataka might not be able to perfectly adapt to and control the project bunny. Before setting out to find Seele, I'm afraid it will take some time to help him adapt and learn how to control the project bunny...
However, Bronya was obviously overthinking it. After handing over the control of Project Bunny 19C from her, she found that Project Bunny was actually quite cooperative with Kirataka.
[Permission transfer completed]
[The user has been changed, the current user is Kirataka]
After the change of usage rights, the huge mecha floated autonomously behind Kirataka, quietly waiting for him to issue instructions.
"Is this what it feels like to control a mecha?"
Kirataka tried to command the Project Bunny to perform some actions, which felt very novel.
It's a pity that Bronya has not yet obtained the authority of the Herrscher of Reason, and the Project Bunny can only maintain the form of a combat mecha for now. Otherwise, riding a motorcycle through the Quantum Sea would be a unique experience.
"…"
Bronya looked suspiciously at the project bunny who was cooperating with Kirataka in performing various actions.
It seems that she likes Kirataka quite a lot.
——You know, when she first got the Project Bunny, she spent a lot of time practicing and mastering it, and getting used to it.
Why does it seem that Kirataka and the Project Bunny are even more compatible now?
In short, although there were some doubts in her heart since Kirataka was able to quickly learn to control the bunny, it was a good thing and saved a lot of effort.
"Then I will take the bunny with me, and I will leave Nagazora City to you."
After becoming familiar with controlling the project bunny, Kirataka turned around and gave instructions to Bronya.
Although some of the Honkai beasts had been eliminated on the way to East City, the remaining area still needed to be cleaned up.
Of course, Bronya can also choose to stay in the [Nest] with the children and wait for his return.
Bronya nodded and blessed with a hopeful tone:
"Well, I hope you can... find news about Seele."
......…
Watching Kirataka's figure gradually disappearing into the distance, Bronya stopped at the edge of the platform and admired the scenery.
It was now afternoon, and the younger children had been coaxed by Raven to rest and take a nap.
After all the children entered the house obediently, Raven also walked out of the room and came to Bronya's side.
She smiled and asked:
"Ms. Bronya, how does today's meal taste?"
"Not bad,"
Bronya replied calmly.
Although there is still a big gap between the cooking skills of Mei and hers, this is not the well-stocked St. Freya Academy after all. Considering the conditions here, this is already a very sumptuous meal.
"Don't comfort me. I am aware of my cooking skills."
Raven waved her hands helplessly:
"But at least I can still fill my stomach."
Mercenaries who have been fighting on the battlefield for years have no chance to seriously study cooking skills. Basically, they just satisfy themselves by being able to fill their stomachs.
Her current cooking skills are the result of practicing a little during her free time in the past few months in order to give her children a better life experience.
"…"
Bronya did not continue the conversation.
Although Raven was chatting with her in a casual manner, Bronya could still clearly feel that she was observing her carefully, as if she wanted to confirm something.
Recalling the strange look in the eyes of the scavenger she had just met, Bronya simply asked straight to the point:
"Ms. Raven... the way you looked at Bronya before seemed a little strange."
With her keen sense of having been on the battlefield for many years, she could naturally sense that the gray-haired woman in front of her was no ordinary person.
In fact, her intuition told her that this woman who was called "teacher" by the children and appeared quite kind to those innocent children was most likely a killer who had been embroiled in a sea of blood and corpses, just like herself in the past.
Her hands are probably already stained with the blood of countless people.
Where is she from?
Which organization do she belong to?
It certainly can't be Schicksal, nor can it be anti-entropy... Could it be that there is a huge organization lurking in the undercurrent of the world?
What is Kirataka's relationship with this organization?
In an instant, many questions that she wanted to know flowed through Bronya's mind.
But anyway, she and Kirataka seemed to have a good relationship, so there was no need for her to have a conflict with her.
Bronya just wanted to understand why the other person was looking at her with strange eyes.
"Well, of course, after all..."
Since Bronya had already noticed it, Raven did not hide it and said openly:
"I didn't expect to see the once famous [Silver Wolf of the Ural] here."
