"I'm really sorry, but in the end we had to find someone else to help us clean up the mess."
Looking at the ravens peering around, Raiden Ryoma spoke earnestly.
“Miss Hiola, I can assure you that the children in this orphanage are all good children at heart. Would you consider my proposal?”
"...Let me think about it."
Looking at the forest behind Raiden Ryoma, Raven felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
Contrary to what Raiden Ryoma said, this wasn't Raven's first time visiting Cocolia's Orphanage.
After all, she had come here to meet Cocolia about a month ago.
Ah, that grove of trees behind us, that's where she severely injured the Thunder Dragon Horse.
As for Raiden Dragon Horse's suggestion, Raven did indeed have such a plan.
Initially, she thought that the other party might have noticed some clues about her identity and decided to invite her here to test her.
But when she arrived at the scene, she discovered that the man named Raiden Ryoma had no such idea at all.
During business battles, this man's skills were so impressive that even Raven admired him greatly. How come he's become so naive and innocent now?
Raven once saved a group of orphans in Changkong City who had lost their parents because of the appearance of the Herrscher of Thunder.
Recently, the ravens even brought them out of their 'nest' ahead of time, letting them temporarily live in their property in Sky City.
As someone who lost both parents in childhood, Raven knows all too well the impact it has on children if they are not given a good environment to grow up in.
Now, the little ones in Cocolia's orphanage have been through enough misery at Cocolia's hands.
If conditions permit, the raven wouldn't mind helping them out.
"Of course, we will provide the funds. After all, this is a matter that we are unilaterally troubling Miss Siola, so we naturally won't let Miss Siola spend any money."
After saying this, Ryoma suddenly bowed deeply to the raven.
Please help me!
“Mr. Thunder, there’s no need for that.”
After gently helping the Thunder Dragon Horse up with both hands, Raven suddenly felt that the man she had just hit with her kidney was much more pleasing to the eye than Cocolia.
Stance is stance, and perception is perception.
A woman who uses her adopted daughter for experiments is utterly despicable compared to this pitiful middle-aged man cleaning up the mess left by a traitor.
"Mr. Ryoma."
"father!"
Just after Raven helped Ryoma up, Mei and Bronya, who had just arrived at the scene, immediately greeted Ryoma.
"Mea Yi..."
After glancing at the guilt in his daughter's eyes, Ryoma walked over to Mei and hugged her.
"Don't worry about what happened before. It's better that you're okay."
"……Um."
Watching the touching reunion between the father and daughter, Raven truly felt that this was the attitude that parents and children should have.
Sigh, that short girl over there was directly declared to be used as a tool by Cocolia right here last time. In comparison, Raiden Mei, the Herrscher, is much luckier.
"Is this young lady... the Miss Ciora that Mr. Ryoma mentioned?"
Bronya narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the woman in front of her.
Strange, this figure...
Why does Bronya always feel like she's seen this somewhere before?

"By the way, is this Miss Siola?"
After breaking free from Ryoma's embrace, Raiden Mei looked at the disguised Raven and said with a hint of surprise.
"Are you the lady from the coffee shop last time?"
"Oh, young lady. What a coincidence."
Seeing the surprise on Raiden Mei's face, Raven smiled and said.
"I really didn't expect that you are Mr. Raiden's daughter."
This little girl seems to have a crush on Gu Yu, right?
Come to think of it, wasn't that white-haired girl who was with Gu Yu in Sky City last time the same girl named Kiana who was with her last time?
Wow, wait a minute???
She is in love with Gu Yu, and her best friend is Gu Yu's fiancée, but she doesn't know this yet.
For some reason, Raiden Mei suddenly felt that the woman in front of her looked at her with a hint of pity.
"Miss Siola?"
"No, it's nothing. Mr. Raiden, I agree to this. Please let me know after you've handled the follow-up matters."
After saying this, Raven bowed slightly to the three of them and walked towards the helicopter parked to the side.
"Wait, Miss Ciola."
Just before Raven was about to board the helicopter, Bronya suddenly asked a question.
Have we met before?
"What are you saying, little sister?"
After being stopped by Bronya, Raven, whose heart was trembling slightly, put on a puzzled expression and turned to look at Bronya.
Then, she smiled and said to Bronya.
"That kind of pickup line is so outdated, little sister. If you want to have a proper chat with me, let's talk about it next time we meet."
After saying that, Raven boarded the helicopter and signaled the pilot to start the aircraft.
After watching the raven depart, Raiden Ryoma looked at Bronya and sighed softly.
"Bronya, I don't know how those children inside view you, but I've thought about it and I think it would be better if you met with them."
"After Cocolia's death, you are the only family left among you. I personally hope that you can put aside your past prejudices and move forward together."
"I understand, Ryoma... Uncle."
After giving Ryoma a slight bow, Bronya walked through the gates of the orphanage.
But after stepping through the gate, Bronya suddenly felt a sense of disorientation.
A year ago, she respected her adoptive mother, Cocolia.
She also played happily with her companions Seele, Rosalia, Lilia, Anne, and others in the orphanage.
But everything changed after the X10 experiment.
Seele disappeared, and Rosalia and Lilia, for some unknown reason, had Honkai Beast genes added to their bodies, while An...
After she went completely mad, failed in her attempt to ambush the Thunder Dragon Horse, and was injured by Gu Yu, Xing seemed to have suffered some kind of mental trauma. In the prison of St. Freya Academy, she was rambling incoherently, muttering something unintelligible.
"Things shouldn't be like this..."
……
Looking at Bronya's lonely figure, Mei and Ryoma felt a pang of heartache.
However, the father and daughter were also well aware that other people's comforting words would not be of much use.
Bronya must overcome her past before she can move forward into the future.
"Alright, Mei. Let Bronya handle her own affairs."
Then, Ryoma, who had just been looking at his daughter with a faint sadness on his face, suddenly looked at her with a wicked smile.
"Come here, come here. After Jiuyou, Dad hasn't contacted you much."
"How have things been going between you and Mr. Gu Yu during this time?"
"dad!"
Seeing the expression on her father's face, Mei became furious and wanted to punch his chest.
But when she thought of her elderly father, who had been stabbed by her and whose wounds were still not healed, Mei immediately abandoned this dangerous idea.
"What else can we do..."
"Gu Yu was seriously injured a day or two after the battle, but later, for some reason, his injuries worsened."
"I didn't have time to do anything, and as a result of our overreaction, he left St. Freya Academy on his own initiative... The headmaster ordered us not to put too much pressure on him, and we haven't contacted him yet."
"Is that so... Sigh, that young man is indeed having a tough time."
At that moment, Raiden Ryoma's phone suddenly rang with a notification sound.
After turning on his phone, Raiden Ryoma narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the sender of the text message.
"Uncle Longma, could you check if these place names or names exist in these areas? Any information will do."
"Are there any buried temples over Jiulang Mountain? Is there a ship called Tianliang or a place called Tianliang Village in the Far East? What is this young man thinking?"
"Dad, is this a text message from Gu Yu?!"
After rushing to Raiden Ryoma's side, Raiden Mei ignored the previous incomprehensible words and glanced at the last sentence.
"Keep this a secret for me and Mei, don't let her know I'm investigating these things... What the heck, he's going to do something reckless again!"
After seeing the last sentence, Mei angrily pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, is this the headmaster? This is Mei."
"Yes, I have something to report to you now."
