Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Wuzhan Away at the Beginning Chapter 054

「“Hahaha, is that all?” Seele chuckled, “It’s like scratching an itch through boots, not satisfying at all. It seems I need to teach you a few slang terms before you go back.”」

「Bronya waved her hands repeatedly: “No, no, no.”」

「Seele rested her hands on the railing, looked up at the orphanage, and then at the girl beside her. Bronya was like a gentle stream, unknowingly stirring her heart, and she was willing to follow its flow… For the first time in over a decade, Seele had this feeling.」

「“I heard from some veteran Iron Guards that before the Isolation Order was issued, there wasn’t much difference between the upper and lower levels. Everyone ate the same food, talked about the same topics, and celebrated the same festivals.”」

「“In our generation, although the upbringing is somewhat different… when it comes to the joys, sorrows, and the bonds between people, these precious emotions must still be the same.”」

「“If there could be a bridge to reconnect the upper and lower levels… we could definitely return to that era of unity, standing shoulder to shoulder against the cold and the Fragmentum.”」

「As she said this, Bronya looked at Rivet Town at the foot of the mountain. Following her line of sight, Seele seemed to see the future she was looking forward to.」

「Looking at the expression on Bronya’s face, Seele tilted her head slightly and smiled, pursing her lips: “I’m not like you, I can’t summarize so many grand principles, but…”」

「She reached out her hand to Bronya, the bright moonlight falling on her palm, as if waiting for her to grasp the light together, “If this is the future you want to see, I am willing to build this bridge with you.”」

「“Seele…”」

「Before Seele could react, Bronya had already tightly held her hand. The girl’s smile was as bright as a flower, her eyes clear as autumn water, and in that glistening gaze… only she was reflected.」

「“Thank you, Seele. Your trust means a lot to me.”」

「As if directly hit, Seele staggered back a few steps, her pink cheeks instantly flushed with an alluring red.」

“So sweet, so sweet…” Maine looked at the girl’s blushing face in the light curtain, feeling extremely envious.

Why can others hold hands, but she has to sleep with a pumpkin in the middle of the night!

…She wants a sweet love too!

“Should I learn from Seele? Maybe that Tatsumi guy will suddenly get it?” Maine suddenly had an idea, “Seele and Bronya just held hands successfully in the light curtain, it can be considered a textbook-level demonstration, right?”

No sooner said than done, Maine was a complete action taker.

“Tatsumi.”

Maine walked behind the boy, looking down at him. When he heard the voice and looked up, she leaned down and showed him a smile that was both gentle and warm. Imitating Seele in the light curtain, Maine also extended a hand to him, as if in this dark and cold night, it was the only accepting and warm place.

“Maine?” Tatsumi subconsciously grabbed her hand, pulling her to his side. Before Maine could react, she plopped back down next to him.

“I thought you were angry, Maine,” Tatsumi said with a smile, “Look at Seele and Bronya, those two… are really great.”

“Ah, ah, well… they are indeed great.” Unexpectedly, things progressed so smoothly, Maine’s face immediately turned red. At this moment, it seemed that all the subtle movements on Tatsumi’s body were endlessly magnified, his warm palm, the gentle touch of his fingertips, the gentle brushing of his hair, no matter how light, made Maine’s heart beat faster.

It’s hot… so hot that Maine’s vision was filled with a pink mist. She felt like a string in her head was about to melt…

“Th-that… Tatsumi.”

“What’s wrong? Maine, you’re acting strange tonight. Your face is so red… do you have a fever?” Tatsumi said, reaching out to put his hand on her forehead, but Maine grabbed his hand and stopped him.

“I, I’m not sick… Tatsumi.”

Maine only felt that her head was in a mess. She tried to recall Seele’s hand-holding declaration just now, and stuttered, “If… if this is the future you want to see, I, I am willing to be with you—”

“Maine, I understand your feelings,” Tatsumi suddenly interrupted her, “You want us to be like Bronya and Seele, right?”

Tatsumi, you finally get it, ah ah ah ah!

Maine couldn’t help but scream in her heart, nodding her head vigorously.

“I understand what you mean, and I am willing to become comrades-in-arms with you, Maine,” Tatsumi solemnly held her hand, “That peaceful future… we will definitely see it together!”

Emmmm… huh??

Comrades-in-arms?

Maine suddenly noticed the blind spot.

Tatsumi, you finally get it… my ass!

“You don’t understand at all!”

Maine chopped Tatsumi on the head with a hand, and ran away angrily. Leaving the boy rubbing his head with a confused look, wondering, “Such a big temper… did I say something wrong?”

「Whether it’s Mother’s sudden change of heart, or the long-sealed truth of Belobog, these are full of doubts.」

「Bronya finally decided that she would go to the Upper District to ask Mother herself for clarification.」

「Seele visibly panicked: “Wait, you’re not really going, are you? You’re going alone? No, that’s too…”」

「“I’ve thought it through, Seele.” Bronya’s eyes were firm, “Whether as a daughter or a Silvermane Guard, I must fulfill my responsibility to advise her face to face. Even if…”」

「After speaking, Bronya gave Seele a letter, asking her to pass it on to Star and the others. If she couldn’t meet up with them… they would know what to do.」

「“Okay, I understand.” Seele nodded solemnly: “You know what you want to do, no matter how much I object, it’s useless. Just remember one thing for me – if you encounter any danger, I will risk my life to save you.”」

「“Then I’ll be waiting for you.”」

「Bronya smiled slightly, like ripples on a lake in spring, willow branches drooping gently, stirring something.」

「Seele suddenly thought that perhaps one day, Belobog’s heavy snow would be melted by the spring sun and return to the lake of spring. And she would also return to that spring water, inseparable, closely integrated.」
