Snapped--

With a crisp sound, Bronya's hands landed heavily on Xia Yuan's shoulders. The sudden weight on his shoulders made Xia Yuan shiver, and his mind immediately became much clearer.

Beads of sweat gradually appeared on Xia Yuan's cheeks.

Even when he was rescuing Vilvie, or when Kevin of the End glanced at him on the moon, he had never felt such a heavy atmosphere and pressure as he did now.

"Look who's here! Isn't this my most amiable boss, Bronya? What brings you here, Duck? Come, come, please sit down, please sit down, let's have a few drinks together!"

Xia Yuan, who was trying to get away with it, was about to stand up when Bronya pressed him back into his seat.

"How about a few drinks?"

"You stupid subordinate, you really have a refined taste. I even got off the train and braved the freezing cold to look for you everywhere."

Chapter 182 Bronya is angry!

Looking at the scene before her, Bronya continued:

"You seem quite comfortable, you idiot subordinate..."

"Hmm... Let Bronya think about it. You're not answering the phone, not returning calls, hiding in restaurants, spending the salary Bronya gives you on drinking with female friends, right? After drinking, you idiot subordinate, do you even want to have a nice sleep with them?!"

Hearing Bronya's cold words, Xia Yuan seemed to realize that she had misunderstood something.

"Wait, Duck... let me explain, it's not what you think!"

"Ugh...ugh...ugh."

Just as Xia Yuan was about to explain to Bronya, she suddenly covered his mouth with a handkerchief from behind, preventing him from speaking. She didn't want to hear her stupid subordinate's explanation.

There's nothing more to explain...

Xia Yuan seemed to already know what fate awaited him.

With pleading eyes, he looked at everyone present.

"Padre...Vilvie, Sister, Eden, Ellie, please explain to Bronya, okay? Things really aren't what she thinks!"

Xia Yuan cried out in his heart.

But by this time he could no longer speak, and could only make indistinct "uh uh uh" sounds.

The people present looked at each other in bewilderment.

The increasingly oppressive atmosphere was broken by Padofelis's words.

"Wow~ Brother Jie's dried fish smells so good! Sister Wilvi, would you like to try some? It's delicious."

Looking at the dried fish that Padofelis handed over...

[Expert] Vilvi naturally guessed Phyllis's inner thoughts and casually took it.

"Ahem... Judging from the appearance and texture of the grilled fish that Qianjie made, the nutrients have been well preserved, and the original freshness of the grilled fish has not been lost. It seems that Qianjie is really suited to the job of a chef."

[Expert] Virvi is carefully studying and analyzing the differences in details between the grilled fish made by Qianjie and the grilled fish previously made by [Baiwei].

"Wait, Miss [Expert], now is not the time for you and Paddo to research grilled fish!"

As for Aponia.....

She could do nothing to help Mr. Xia Yuan in his current predicament, as it was his private matter and she, as a nun, had no right to interfere. However, she would silently pray for Mr. Xia Yuan in her heart.

"Sister, stop praying! If you keep praying... it'll be too late by then. Quickly use your invincible [Discipline] to think of a way to get Bronya out of the room. Aren't you able to read minds?"

Xia Yuan cried out in his heart.

Seeing that no one in front of him could be relied upon, he could only place his last hope on the fairies Ellie and Eden beside him, for only they could save him now.

But before anyone knew it, Eden had already slumped onto the table and slowly drifted off to sleep.

That place was like a palace of art...

"Eden, Eden, wake up! How can you sleep at this hour!"

[Hmm~ Hmm~ Hmm~]

[Playing dead—]

When the fairy Ellie saw Xia Yuan's gaze, she pretended not to see anything... and acted like an ordinary doll.

"Ellie... I've raised you for so many years and spent so much money on you, and now that it's time for you to repay my kindness, you're going to pretend to be a mute doll, right?!"

Sitting opposite Xia Yuan, Padofelis held a small dried fish and winked playfully at him.

He had an expression that said, "I'm waiting to see what happens."

As expected, none of those present could be trusted...

Xia Yuan already understood that he was destined to go through this ordeal. Since it was coming, let the storm rage on. He was ready to risk everything.

"Duck, come on! I'm ready. I'll still be a hero this time next year."

Snapped--

A crisp, pleasant sound rang out overhead—it was nice to hear, but it was a bit of a headache…

Bronya's voice came from behind.

"ha?

"You idiot subordinate, what nonsense are you spouting? I'm sorry... Bronya's idiot subordinate has caused you all a lot of trouble. I'll take him back and discipline him properly."

Bronya bowed slightly to the people present to express her apology.

At the same time, it clearly stated who owned Xia Yuan, and then, as if dragging some unsightly recyclable waste, it grabbed the other person by the collar and slowly pulled him from his seat out of the room.

"Alright... you stupid subordinate, let's go back."

"Brother Xia Yuan, may you rest in peace~"

Xia Yuan reluctantly reached out his hand to everyone in the room.

Sitting opposite, Padofelis waved her little handkerchief at him. On this day next year, she would definitely bring her most treasured dried fish to pay homage to Brother Xia Yuan.

"oops.....

"Ms. Bronya, your behavior right now doesn't seem like that of a gentle and excellent boss. So, Ms. Bronya, are you aware that abusing subordinates without reason can lead to labor arbitration?"

Just when Xia Yuan was feeling utterly hopeless...

Rita's heavenly voice echoed in his and Bronya's ears from the side of the corridor.

How could he forget that he also had a perfect and elegant maid?

"Ugh... [Rita, save me!]"

Xia Yuan seemed to see the only glimmer of light in the darkness, struggling behind Bronya and sending out his own distress signals through his mouth, which was stuffed with a handkerchief.

"You stupid subordinate, behave yourself..."

"And Ms. Rita, Bronya doesn't have time for you right now."

"According to company rules and regulations, misappropriating company funds without the supervisor's permission is a serious violation of company regulations and requires a friendly and private conversation with the person's immediate supervisor."

Mr. Walter never made such a rule!

"Since Mr. Xia Yuan has seriously violated company regulations, why don't you just fire him, Ms. Bronya... instead of keeping him around?"

"Tch... This is an internal company matter, it has nothing to do with you, Rita."

Bronya ignored the other person and dragged Xia Yuan behind her straight out of the restaurant, but Rita gracefully came in front of Bronya and blocked their way.

"Huh? Rita, what are you doing? How come... does a Schicksal S-rank Valkyrie not allow ordinary citizens to go home and play games after dinner?"

Chapter 183: Looking for Kiana to play games?

For Bronya, this would mean if the two sides were on opposing sides.

Rita Losweather is undoubtedly the most troublesome and difficult enemy, and the last thing she wants to see.

“Not at all, Ms. Bronya, Rita would never dare to stand in your way.”

“However… as Mr. Xia Yuan’s maid, I am naturally responsible for my master’s safety 24 hours a day. It is obvious that Mr. Xia Yuan has already secretly sent me a distress signal.”

Bronya glanced at Xia Yuan, whom she had lifted onto the floor.

Looking at the innocent look in the other person's eyes, which were filled with grievance, Bronya sighed. What a stupid subordinate who always caused her trouble.

Bronya removed the handkerchief from Xia Yuan's mouth.

"You idiot subordinate, tell your meddlesome maid... have I posed a threat to your life?"

Looking at Bronya's threatening gaze, as if she would devour him if he dared to nod, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Xia Yuan shook his head honestly.

"Hey... Rita, now you see? How could I, as your direct superior, possibly threaten the life of a 'dumb subordinate'?!"

However, Bronya emphasized a few words in her speech.

"Mr. Xia Yuan, if you're being threatened, please blink."

"Rita will definitely rescue you from Ms. Bronya's inhumane company. Rest assured, Rita will take good care of you. There is a job in Schicksal that is very suitable for you and awaits your arrival."

Xia Yuan was very interested in Rita's suggestion.

However, considering that Aunt Mei is still at Schicksal headquarters... due to a small misunderstanding before, Xia Yuan is hesitant to go to Schicksal headquarters, fearing that...

They escaped Bronya's clutches, but jumped into another sea of ​​fire.

Faced with Aunt Mei's interrogation and forced confession.

Just as Xia Yuan was pondering, Bronya directly blocked his way, seemingly trying to prevent Rita from seeing her foolish subordinate.

"Alright, Rita, since your idiot subordinate didn't agree, you must have already seen what happened. If you continue to obstruct Bronya, don't blame Bronya for being impolite~"

“Not at all, Ms. Bronya, please do as you please... Rita never stopped you.”

Rita seemed to have sensed something. She slightly lifted her maid skirt, bowed, and retreated to the side of the corridor, watching Bronya drag Xia Yuan away.

"Mr. Xia Yuan's silence just now..."

"Could it be that there's something unspeakable, or that Bronya has some leverage over you?"

Just as Rita was pondering how to rescue Mr. Xia Yuan... the fairy Airi, fluttering her pure white wings, slowly flew out of the room carrying a brand-new Paradise Typewriter.

When the fairy Airi saw Rita, she smiled happily.

"Hey~ Isn't this the super kind maid who took the cute fairy home before?"

"Did you see where my little Xia Yuan was dragged away by his terrible boss Bronya just now? The lovely fairy has already come up with a way to save him."

Rita pointed out the direction to the fairy Ellie.

"However, please hurry, lovely fairy. I think I just saw Bronya pick up a shovel when she went to the kitchen."

Not knowing what Bronya had gotten her hands on, Rita covered her face, deeply worried about Mr. Xia Yuan's safety.

"Huh?!"

"Are they going to bury Xia Yuan?"

"No, absolutely not! Miss Pink Fairy will never allow such a thing to happen."

Fairy Ellie hurriedly flew out of the restaurant with the typewriter in her hand. When she passed the kitchen, Qianjie was covered with a newspaper, and a magical bubble that was expanding and contracting appeared under the mask. It seemed that he was sleeping soundly.

At this moment, outside the restaurant...

Bronya was using a shovel she had taken from the kitchen to shovel away the snow in front of her. When it looked enough to bury a person, Bronya planted the shovel just centimeters away from Xia Yuan's body.

"You stupid subordinate, is there anything else you want to say before you die?"

"Um... Duck~ Let's talk this out. Didn't we agree to play games together?"

"Don't you want to go back to the train carriage, and we can sit around the fireplace and play games all night long? We can even call Bug, who's still on the moon, along. It feels like it's been so long since we played games together; I'm starting to miss it~"

Looking at the snowdrift in front of him, which was just big enough to fit him, Xia Yuan swallowed hard.

This is not the end of his journey.

Xia Yuan felt he could still struggle a little longer, so he tried to appeal to Bronya's emotions.

"Oh~ Is that so? Bronya, I remember you, you silly subordinate, were just thinking about getting drunk, weren't you? I bet right now you're thinking about Kiana, who's still on the moon, more than playing games with Bronya, aren't you?"

"Ahem... Duck, you can't say that! Don't you miss the bugs?"

"I'll go find Kiana to play games after I bury you, you idiot subordinate. Now that I've finished giving my last words, goodbye, you idiot subordinate."
