Chapter 288 Going out

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the curtains and cast golden light on every corner of the room, Xier slowly woke up from her dream.

She opened her eyes and was greeted by a strange ceiling, she was still confused.

She probably forgot where she slept last night.

Unlike usual, she subconsciously reached out to touch the weapon beside her, but only felt something soft.

Confused, Seele turned her head and realized that she had placed her hand lightly on Bronya's abdomen without knowing it, and even pinched it gently unconsciously.

She quickly withdrew her hand, feeling shy and flustered. She didn't know where to put her hand in the air and seemed a little at a loss.

At this moment, Bronya seemed to turn over in her sleep, and she made a move that Seele did not expect...

She actually hugged Seele's waist tightly. Seele noticed that on Bronya's right side, there was a doll that Bronya often hugged. Apparently, Bronya, in a half-asleep state, mistook Seele for a doll and turned to the left.

Seele's hands, which were originally stiff in the air, were now gently placed on her legs. She did not dare to move rashly for fear of disturbing Bronya, so she just sat quietly on the bed, letting Bronya's hands wrap around her waist.

Seele gazed at Bronya's sleeping face with a bit of innocence. An inexplicable emotion surged in Seele's heart. She wanted to reach out and gently wake her up, but she was worried that her actions would break the tranquility.

So, her hand stayed in the air, as if she was hesitating and waiting, until Bronya woke up naturally from her dream.

...

"Hmm...is it dawn..." Bronya slowly opened her eyes and rubbed her abdomen.

"Well, the sky is indeed bright, and a new day has begun." Seele responded to Bronya with a smile, but when she saw Bronya rubbing her abdomen, Seele couldn't help but think of the little episode that had just happened.

"You're finally awake." Seele said softly, with a hint of light-hearted teasing in her tone. She knew that for Bronya, a complete rest was so precious.

Bronya was lying on the bed with a satisfied smile on her face, and she seemed to be still savoring the beauty of her dream. "Yeah, I haven't been lying in bed so comfortably for a long time." She said softly, with a bit of laziness in her voice.

"Do you want to go out now?" There was a hint of expectation in Xier's voice. She had stood up and stretched, but then she held her sore waist.

Bronya sat up and looked at Seele with concern, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes full of confusion: "What's wrong with your waist? Can't you straighten it up?" she asked, feeling a little worried in her heart. She always had an indescribable concern for Seele.

Seele smiled gently and waved her hand, indicating that Bronya didn't need to worry.

"No, no, I just woke up and my body hasn't fully recovered yet." She explained with a hint of relief in her tone.

"Besides, with my physical condition, what could go wrong? It's just a backache, a small problem~" Xier said while shaking her fingers.

"Okay, let's prepare a little and then set off. We can't waste this rare rest opportunity." Xier said seriously.

"Okay~ I'll do whatever you say~" Bronya smiled.

Seeing Bronya's smile, Seele's face turned a little pink again.

...

After washing, changing into new clothes, and packing up, the two walked out of Klipperburg.

"Huh? Great Guardian? And...Miss Xier?" Jeppard, who was guarding outside Klipper Castle, saw the two people walking out side by side. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and there was some doubt in his words.

"Jepard... I've already told you to just call me Bronya in private. It's really awkward for you to call me that..." Bronya crossed her arms, her tone containing a hint of helplessness. She seemed a little uncomfortable with these red tapes.

"Okay, then... Bronya, how did Miss Seele appear in Kripalburg?" Jeppard asked.

"Remove the word 'Miss' from your address. We are friends. Can't you call me more intimately?" Bronya smiled. Her words were full of cherishment for friendship, and also revealed a little dissatisfaction with Jeppard's overly formal address.

"Why do I feel like I've become alienated by you guys since I became the Great Guardian..." Bronya's words were tinged with sadness. She seemed to feel the gap brought about by some kind of identity.

"Also, I was the one who asked Seele to come in and keep me company. It was last night when you should all be resting." Bronya explained.

"Ah! I don't have that idea... about alienating yourself or anything... It's just that as a garrison officer, isn't it inappropriate to call my superior by his name like this?" Jeppard explained hurriedly with a hint of embarrassment on his face. Obviously, he didn't want Bronya to feel left out.

"You're such a stubborn person. If you call me that in private, why don't you just change it back in public? Why are you so obsessed with that?"

"If your sister is your boss, you won't call her sister in private? Instead, you will call her Ms. Shiluwa? Miss Shiluwa?" Xier asked.

"This... I understand." Jeppard nodded, a glimmer of enlightenment in his eyes.

"So... Bronya, Seele, good morning!" Jeppard said to the two of them, his voice full of respect.

"Hello to you too, Jeppard~" Bronya stepped forward and patted his shoulder.

There was a piece of snowflakes on his shoulder that had not yet dissipated.

"Just now I mentioned Silva... Is your sister okay?" Bronya asked with some concern.

"The situation is not very optimistic..." Jeppard shook his head.

"She is still studying the residual energy of the star core?" Bronya was surprised.

"Yes... She said she found some progress... She can try to research new inventions. This research... will take several days."

"The cold wave is about to recede...what's the point of her studying that?" Bronya couldn't understand.

"I don't know... but there's nothing I can do. Even if I force her not to do it, she'll just cry and make a fuss... like a child..."

"I really don't know who is the older sister and who is the younger brother..." Jeppard sighed.

"Is that so? Then after we finish shopping, let's go see your sister." Bronya said gently.

"Shopping?!" Jeppard suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong? He suddenly shouted." Xier said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"Sorry, I'm too excited. What I wanted to say is, do you need guards?" asked Jeppard.

"Guard? What do you need it for? I'm with Bronya, what are you worried about?" Seele stared at Jeppard.

"Too.."

"Okay, stop worrying about this and that all day long. The dangers and monsters in the star core are gone, and you don't have to stay here for 15 hours a day. Take more rest." Xier said to Jeppard.

"I will," Jeppard responded.
