Starry Sky Railway: The Warden's Interrogation of Kafka

Another example is having the Iron Guard return to the lower area.

Although she only stayed in the lower level area for one day yesterday.

However, she also discovered that the lives of the lower classes were unimaginably difficult.

Thinking about it.

Bronya reached out and grabbed the handle, preparing to open the door and go inside.

next second.

A voice rang out that made Bronya's pupils shrink.

"Cocolia...you're pushing yourself too hard..."

Is that... Gu Yan's voice?

But why was he inside Cripper Castle?

Who is he talking to?

Bronya felt uneasy, though she didn't know why.

A woman's intuition prevented her from immediately opening the door and entering.

She pressed herself against the doorway and listened intently.

Then, a somewhat weary voice rang out: "You bastard, still saying things like that now... By the way... where are you taking me...?"

This weak voice, seemingly exhausted from overexertion, suddenly exploded in Bronya's mind.

That voice... is Mother's!

Bronya swallowed hard.

What are they doing in there?

What do these words mean?

"After a long night, it's natural to take you to get some rest."

"Hmph...whatever..."

Tired after a long night?

have a good rest??

Bronya's eyes kept changing, and she felt extremely uneasy.

What does it mean?

Oh right, last night my mother told her to leave first, but left Gu Yan behind alone.

Did something happen during this time?

Bronya became increasingly agitated as she thought about it, and she came up with something terrifying and unbelievable.

That is——————

"Mother and Gu Yan...the two of them..."

Bronya's expression grew increasingly stiff, her right hand clenched tightly against her chest.

Breathing seemed to stop at that moment.

No...it can't be...

"How could Gu Yan be with Mother..."

Bronya shook her head. No.

That won't happen.

Boom, boom.

Click.

At this time.

The door handle of Cripper Castle was slowly pulled.

Oh no! They're coming out!

Bronya was startled, and she instinctively wanted to find a place to hide.

but.

She then thought about it again.

Why should I hide?

She believed in her mother and also believed that Gu Yan and her mother had no relationship.

and so.

Bronya just stood there doing nothing.

thump! thump!

Bronya's heart was pounding.

With a loud bang.

The door was pushed open.

The sound came out much clearer.

What will happen to official business if I leave?

"It's alright, I'll handle this... Hey, Bronya? What are you doing here?"

As Gu Yan spoke, it was as if he had just realized that Bronya was at the door.

He asked, feigning surprise.

"Ah...oh, I'm here to see the Great Guardian."

Bronya replied instinctively, quickly glancing at the two of them.

Cocolia, dressed normally, was being helped by Gu Yan.

The former appeared extremely tired, as if he had been working late into the night.

“Little duck, your mother and I talked all night about the future of Belloberg.”

"I didn't sleep all night, that's why I'm so tired."

As he spoke, Gu Yan also looked reproachfully at Cocolia, whose expression was somewhat unusual: "I told you to go to bed early."

"Official business can be done the next day."

Upon hearing this...

Cocolia snorted and replied with dissatisfaction, "What nonsense are you talking about? I am the Great Guardian of Beloborg."

"For the sake of Bellberg, I must not slack off in the slightest."

As she spoke, Cocolia looked wearily at Bronya, whose expression had become somewhat flustered: "Bronya, what do you need me for?"

"Sorry, let me calm down a bit before we talk..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Bronya quickly waved her hand, saying in a flustered tone, "No, no, no! It's alright! Mother, please go back and rest!"

"Let's discuss this again next time!"

Upon hearing this...

Cocolia nodded in agreement: "Alright, in that case..."

She looked at Gu Yan and said, "I'll have Gu Yan take me home to rest first."

Gu Yan nodded and looked at Bronya with a light smile, "That's how it is. Well then, I'll take our Great Guardian back to rest first."

"oh oh!"

Bronya nodded quickly in response.

Chapter 38: Plotting to Usurp Power? Belloberg is my family's possession.

Watching Gu Yan and Cocolia leave.

Bronya couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Simultaneously.

She also felt immense guilt.

Bronya!

You deserve to die!

His own mother and Gu Yan stayed up all night discussing the fate of Belloberg!

And yet you're still mentally portraying them as doing *that* kind of thing!

Bronya!!

Are you still considered the commander of the Iron Guard?

How can someone like you be fit to be the commander of the Iron Guard!

Are you even human?!

He actually fantasized about his mother and Gu Yan...

"hateful!"

Bronya muttered under her breath, wanting to give herself a good scolding for having such wild thoughts.

She looked up and took a deep breath.

His eyes became incredibly determined.

That's right.
