"Huh... But that's it.

Xi'er looked at the disappearing ice of the outer universe and said with disdain.

"We are a righteous three-on-one.

Luo Bai shook his head and shook off the thoughts in his mind, and subconsciously quipped.

"Hmph, I can handle all of them. It's just time-consuming.

Ciel folded her hands on her hips habitually, looked around and continued.

"But the surroundings should be clean now, so let's go inside and look inside.

"In the corner over there, I vaguely remember that there was still some stock. When we were children, we used to make a lot of noise outdoors, and skin trauma was a common occurrence.

"I hope the supplies weren't destroyed by that guy just now.

She sighed softly.

“... Not an illusion.

Bronya's untimely voice rang out, completely confusing.

"Huh, what are you talking about?" asked

Ciel with a confused expression.

"This building, and all these kids' rides... I've seen it.

Bronya replied with a frown.

"Hah, come here, the upper and lower levels have been locked down for more than ten years, and not a single silver-maned iron guard has ever come down.

Ciel said reasonably.

"It's definitely big news that a lady like you is here.

"—Wait a minute, isn't it, until then..."

If it was before the upper and lower districts were locked down, maybe there was a real possibility.

“... Well. There is this possibility.

Bronya nodded.

"That's the only way to explain why my memory is so vague. "

Let's go, I'll have to look around a little more to confirm my guess,"

said Bronya, walking ahead alone, constantly looking around.

Luo Bai and Xi'er slowly followed behind them, and did not make a sound to disturb her.

Not long after, they came to a corner surrounded by miscellaneous debris.

"I found this, you can take it.

Ciel set aside the scythe in her hand and retrieved the gadget from the clutter.

"What is this... Brooch?"

Bronya asked, somewhat uncertain.

"Natasha often taught us to do crafts, which should have been some child's masterpiece.

Ciel replied nonchalantly.

"Why do you want to give it to me?"

Bronya asked again.

"Didn't you give that medal to Eric before? It's not that valuable, but it's a replacement.

Ciel replied with a spread of her hands.

"But this is someone else's hard work, isn't it? ? ,"

Bronya said with some hesitation, looking at the brooch in her hand.

“... You're so rigid, and no one comes back to take it, so if you take it, you can take it.

Ciel habitually complained.

The three of them then continued inside, coming to a corner where the crates were stacked.

This is the corner where Hill mentioned when she was a child.

"It's—ah, found it!" Ciel

opened the closed crates one by one, and found the well-preserved alcohol.

"It's so well preserved, I guess even Nata didn't expect it.

She said excitedly.

"Although I don't want to hit you, it's better to check the expiration date of alcohol, if it expires, it's useless.

Bronya, who was on the side, couldn't help but remind her, and Ciel nodded in agreement.

"I'll take a few bottles out and take a look.

As she spoke, she picked up a bottle of alcohol from it, and when she got the second bottle, she found a snowman glass crystal ball inside.

“... Huh, what is this?"

"This is—"

Bronya seemed to recall something.

"It's... Stuff from my childhood.

"Y-when you were a kid? Are you sure?" asked

Ciel, incredulous.

"Could it be that when you were a child—"

Luo Bai understood that the time was almost ripe, and said on the side.

"Well, I remember now—"

Bronya nodded nondeniably, in the affirmative.

"I used to live here—I lived here before the builders took me away, and before Lord Kokolia adopted me—I lived here. "

I... It's the people of the lower districts. She

finally recalled the memories of her childhood and figured out her own background.

"You're... No, you said Cocolia—you're the adopted daughter of the Great Guardian?"

"Yes, I am the heir appointed by the builders. In the near future, I will be the "Guardian" who will lead Beloberg.

Bronya confessed her identity.

Ciel's mouth was surprised to shove an apple into it, opening far wider than usual.

"Why, why do I only remember it now? The memories from my childhood are so blurry..."

Bronya covered her head with one hand, trying to remember more memories, but for some reason, she couldn't remember anyway.

"I think it might have something to do with Cocolia, she did some kind of trick to you.

Luo Bai told the truth of the matter in one word.

"The Builders have said that the selection of the Guardian's heir is very strict and will be carried out throughout Beloberg.

As soon as Luo Bai's words fell, more memories came to Bronya's mind.

"Both the upper and lower children will be tested, and in the end, only one child with the "qualification" will be selected. "

I'm like... It was here that she was chosen, and then she was brought to the ground..."

She finally remembered what happened when she was a child, but her memory was still a little vague.

"I really didn't expect that there would be a future guardian in the orphanage. Does Nata know about this? Could it be that she's been hiding it—"

Ciel asked as she pinched her chin and lowered her head in deep thought.

"I don't think she knows. The selection of the heirs of the Guardians is absolutely confidential, and the chosen children must say goodbye to the past completely.

Bronya shook her head and replied.

"That's why I'm the daughter of Lord Kocolia—I have no identity other than to be the next Guardian. "

But I, I'm too far away..."

In fact, if the star core is not destroyed, the identity of the next guardian will not exist, and even this planet will be destroyed.

"I knew that the lower districts were suffering, but I could help with anything. "

My former home has become like this, but I am still completely kept in the dark..."

"In the end, I can't protect anything, why was I chosen like this, and how can I be qualified to be the Great Guardian..."

There was a hint of crying in her voice.

"Hey—have you had enough!"

Ciel's upset voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Bronya.

“... Huh?"

Bronya turned to look at Ciel.

"Crying and chirping, noisy to death.

Ciel yelled.

"I—"

Bronya was speechless.

"What's the matter? I was moved by a few words, did you think I would sympathize with you?"

said Xi'er.

"It's good to be alive, "even if it's just a glimmer of light, you have to shine a light on others" - that's what you said. "

Don't you want to protect everyone, don't you have anything important to do than to cry and cry with me here?"

she asked with a serious expression.

"yes, you're right. Self-pity doesn't solve anything.

Bronya sighed.

"Thank you, Ciel. You were the first to wake me up when I was in a negative mood, instead of soothing me from the sidelines. "

Hmph, I won't be appeased, but I can wake you up as many times as you want.

Ciel said with a smile.
