Creating Happiness with Heart in Honkai

"You wait for me!"

After saying this, Cioara hung up the phone directly, leaving Bronie puzzled.

Didn't she mention before that she is a traveler wandering through the Bubble Worlds, where similar individuals could exist in different worlds?

But upon further thought, this matter wasn't important, and Bronie hadn't really mentioned it much anyway.

But what does matter?

Time to sleep, time to eat.

The next morning, when Bronie entered Bronya's room, she saw Bronya getting up anxiously from the bed due to her injuries.

Watching Bronya pretending as if nothing had happened despite the pain from her injuries, Bronie calmly got near the bed.

"Only by resting well can your injuries fully recover. Of course, if you insist on overexerting yourself, I won't stop you. Don't worry, there's no fighting here, and there won't be any."

Teaching the little bunny about human warmth was indeed a long and arduous task.

"Do you have any business with Bronya?"

Although there were many doubts in her heart, speaking them out loud might not necessarily bring answers.

So Bronya just suppressed her doubts and waited quietly for Bronie's instructions.

"Nothing, I just came to give you some new clothes. From now on, there will be Princess Dress Day every month, where everyone will gather and play in beautiful princess dresses. So I prepared a little dress for you in advance. I am the head of this orphanage. I'm also responsible for both classes and daily life."

Grandma Alona was in charge of most of the cleaning work at the orphanage, as well as going to the nearest town to buy ingredients.

For an old lady, these tasks were quite strenuous, so Bronie also arranged for a robot vacuum cleaner to help.

In a way, wasn't this also part of her management?

Looking at the colorful dresses, Bronya fell into silence. Such clothes were not suitable for combat. They might even hinder her performance in CQC.

Was this Bronie's scheme?

"For everyday life, you can wear whatever clothes you like, as long as they don't deviate too much from aesthetics." Bronie added.

Seeing the questioning look in the young bunny's eyes, Bronie also sensed something.

It was the look of someone with questions in their heart but too afraid to ask.

"I know you have many doubts, but only by asking directly will I know what you really want to ask."

"Who are you exactly? Why do you look exactly like Bronya?"

Bronya was straightforward, or rather, emotionally unintelligent?

When there were questions, if she got consent, she would ask them sincerely.

And this was indeed the biggest question on the little bunny's mind.

"Well, this question is actually quite complicated. With your current level of knowledge, you may not be able to understand it fully. In simple terms, the starry sky above our heads contains countless worlds, similar yet different. Sometimes, the universe may play a little joke on us, giving birth to a similar individual, and I am one of those people who come from different worlds but look alike... Your expression..."

ᗜ ‸ ᗜ

Seeing Bronie explain it this way, Bronya's face was full of disbelief.

Yeah, this situation often occurred.

But it didn't matter; Bronie couldn't be bothered to explain whether she believed it or not.

She would understand on her own eventually.

"Um, Sister Bronie..."

Seeming to have talked too much, Seele came over from the dining room to find them.

Since Bronie and Bronya hadn't arrived yet, they couldn't start the meal directly.

"Seele? Oh, sorry for being a bit slow. You know, Bronya is still unfamiliar with everyone here, so she's a little shy. Let's go, Bronya. I steamed some buns for breakfast today, all filled with meat. You'll definitely like them."

After changing Bronya into her new clothes and tidying up her spiral drill, Bronie looked satisfied as he held her hand and led her to the dining room.

"I knew it! Sister Bronie must have gone out to have a baby behind our backs, even the names are so similar!"

"Rosalia, if I hear you spreading rumors again, I'll make you copy the physiology textbook five hundred times! Five hundred times! You'll even have to draw the diagrams carefully!"

"Eek!!"

Drawing unmentionable things five hundred times could cause severe mental trauma!

Rosalia was instantly scared into silence, while Lilia chuckled on the side. "And Anila, don't believe everything you hear. Can't you think for yourself for once?"

"What is the cycle from birth to birth?"

Well, since Bronie has mentioned it, everyone naturally dares not to talk nonsense about Bronya being Bronie's daughter.

"Well, Bronya Zachyik, another orphan of the Second Eruption, was raised in the mercenary group. Don't think it's very cool. You can't even run 500 meters every day. The torment Bronya has endured is hundreds of times stricter than running 500 meters every day!"

"But it's really cool..."

Bronie's sharp gaze caught Isabella, who seemed to sense being stared at, hurriedly hiding behind Nina, who was even more at a loss.

"In any case, get along well. She is also part of the family from now on. And recently, Bronya is recovering from her injuries, so don't let her engage in too intense physical activity."

At this point, Bronie noticed Lilia raising her hand seriously.

"Do you have a question? Let's talk while eating."

Now everyone reacted; they hadn't had breakfast yet. Since Bronie said so, Lilia quickly picked up the steaming buns on the table.

"Bronie sister, why do Bronya and you look so alike, even your hairstyles?"

"Didn't you see my hairstyle today? It's not twin drills, it's twin draped drills plus side drills. It's not the same hairstyle. As for why we look exactly alike? Today happens to be Monday, and the Honkai class has changed to Cosmic Sociology. I'll explain to you what kind of universe we are in."

Bronie's words left Bronya stunned.

Cosmic Sociology?

Honkai class?

In a state of confusion, Bronya enjoyed a delicious breakfast. It was something she hadn't really enjoyed since birth.

Delicious food, constant heating, comfortable beds, and beautiful clothes.

Bronya began to believe that Bronie was sincere to her.

Although she had many secrets, if she could continue to live like this, it would be great.

"Miss Bronie, Director Cioara is here."

After breakfast, Bronie was about to take the children to the classroom when Cioara rushed over without stopping!

"Did you not sleep last night and come straight here? I remember it's quite far from there to here, right? Did you have breakfast? ....Don't be so excited!"

It had been a long time since she had seen Cioara, and Bronie missed her.

But seeing Cioara's worried look, she might have thought that she died in the mercenary world.

"You better explain to me clearly what's going on. You've made a big mess this time. Anti-Entropy is looking for you, and you're still moving around nearby, getting recognized. If I don't take care of you, Schicksal might focus its attention here."

Cioara was worried about Schicksal's people.

After all, with Kiana by her side, if things got any more chaotic, the situation might attract the attention of both Schicksal and Anti Entropy, and then the World Serpent might just abandon her for the sake of the infiltration plan.

And her future self wouldn't fare well either.

Of course, Bronie was the same.

"Don't worry, this time I acted solely for that child. Her childhood was worse than yours. After all, the World Serpent wouldn't treat her so harshly just for completing a task and only receiving a can of beef as a reward?"

"Hi... That child is indeed pitiful..."

But how did Bronie know about this?

"Well, since you're here, to prevent you from being shocked by some things about me in the future, the class I'm going to teach next will change from Honkai to Cosmic Sociology, so you can have a good understanding of what the universe outside is like. But just treat it as a story, because what I'm going to say next is hard to prove."

"Hard to prove, then why say it?"

"Because they are all true, and they can also help you understand this universe and some truths about Honkai."

Bronie once claimed to be a traveler of the Sea of Quanta.

Cioara fully believed it, but she had never heard of the state of the universe as Bronie knew it.

And the truth about Honkai...

"By the way, it seems you have never worried about Honkai or the coming of the End."

"How can I not worry? I worry a lot. Otherwise, why would I try so hard to trick the Flamechasers into coming out of the Elysian Realm? I'm doing this to get them to solve the Honkai, right?"

"If they could solve the Honkai, they would have come out of Elysian Realm long ago..."

"Considering the current civilization's resources and situation, solving the Honkai is still very hopeful. If the Flamechasers can come out, it will greatly increase the success rate of surviving the Honkai. Anyway, let's not talk about these. Just treat it as a story."

Bronie seemed indifferent, but Cioara became interested.

"I want to see what the universe looks like in your eyes. Isn't it like a Dark Forest?"

"The premise of a Dark Forest is whether the exchange of information can be conveyed accurately and the speed of interstellar travel. The Dark Forest can be broken through, but before civilizations enter space, without technology, the Dark Forest prevails. This is not just talk."

As Bronie spoke, she entered the classroom, where everyone was seated.

"Today, Cioara came to see Bronya and to listen to the class. Who erased the drawings I made?"

Looking at the empty blackboard, Bronie was confused. There were originally drawings of a tree, a sea, and symbols of various Paths, all gone.

"Uh... it, it was me..."

Nina weakly raised her hand.

"Although I know you meant well, remember to ask me next time."

Saying this, Bronie snapped her fingers, and the drawings of the tree and sea, along with the symbols, reappeared on the blackboard.

"Ahem, first, I'll briefly explain the concept of the imaginary tree. In simple terms, it affirms countless timelines and worlds to a tree-like structure. Each branch represents a form of existence in a world, and each leaf represents its present and past in the time dimension. The tree crown, fueled by unclaimed imaginary energy in the spacetime conduit, always maintains a dynamic structure, with new buds growing and old leaves falling."

Bronie left a dot on a branch tip.

"This is our world, our planet. Beyond this, there is a mysterious imaginary energy that separates one universe from another. Therefore, most civilizations can only explore the edge of their own universes, as that is the trunk of the imaginary tree."

"So can we move outside the branches?"

Ann raised her hand and asked.

"Yes! The branches are full of imaginary energy, so naturally, you can move elsewhere, like this gap. But it's also very dangerous. The Sea of Quanta lacks the concept of time, and the relative dimensions of space to the real world are difficult to calculate, making it just as difficult to travel through imaginary space as it is to travel in the Sea of Quanta."

Cioara seemed to have something to say.

But if no one raised their hand, she wouldn't stop.

"So what is Honkai? Are there Honkaiis in other worlds?"

Bookworm Anila also raised her hand and asked.

"No, according to my experience and observations, Honkai does not occur in other worlds. So this thing, Honkai, is unique to our world as a test. If it can't be overcome, then there is only destruction."

Although Bronya had many doubts, she knew she had never attended a Honkai class, so she couldn't understand the content of the class.

But listening to the story was still quite enjoyable.

At this moment, Seele tapped Bronya's shoulder, and Bronya looked over curiously, finding a notebook.

There were many notes on it, all about Honkai and what to do when Honkai disaster strikes.

Bronya glanced briefly, only then did she understand that Honkai was a constant threat in this world.

"That's all for the quantum sea and the imaginary tree. This is just to give everyone a deeper understanding of the universe's condition. Now, In this vast universe, there is also a powerful existence called Aeon. Although everyone knows very little about it and is limited by finite cognition, intelligent beings can vaguely perceive the powers of the Aeons. This is also the source of some special abilities."

Cioara felt it was a bit far-fetched, but special abilities did exist.

After all, sometimes she had to help Jackal catch people, so once some special existences were found, they would inevitably be subjected to research.

"Each Aeon holds a Path. So far, the nature of the Paths is still unclear, but it can be roughly summarized with a philosophical concept. It is a part of the imaginary, a metaphysical aggregation. After meeting certain conditions, this part of the imaginary energy will be occupied by that intelligent creature."

Hearing this, Cioara suddenly understood what the experiment Bronie had mentioned before was about.

Was all this true? But how did she know these things?

"And that intelligent creature is the Aeons. The Aeons can freely use the power of Path, but it is also firmly bound by Path. Those who follow a Path and exert their own will may gain a faint power from that Path. In simple terms, it is the predecessors' enlightenment, and the successors' follow-up, which is like cultivating in the universe."

The more common and widely related insignias of Paths were projected by Bronie, and Cioara raised her hand. She had a question to ask.

"Then what Path do you walk? What about me?"

"Me? I don't know yet, but according to my own understanding of myself, I probably walk the Path of Nihility. As for you... I don't know, maybe it's Harmony, or maybe it's nihility. Who knows, after all, neither of us had been glanced by an Aeon on our own destiny."

"Then tell us about Aeons. I think I have many questions that may need to be asked of you."

Cioara tentatively believed Bronie's words, but such information was indeed difficult to accept.

Aeon? Honkai? Imaginary tree?

There were too many bizarre things, and it seemed like they had nothing to do with her. But it seemed that there were ways for her to become stronger here?

"Right, my goal is the vast ocean of stars. How could I leave you on Earth? You should know these things. So let me tell you about each Aeon and its Path. These heavyweight information is unknown to anyone in this world!"

"How do you know then?"

"Because I have special abilities in the realm of information. In the Sea of Quanta, I can investigate scattered information at any time, including these. Although I can't verify these things, they are probably true because destiny does exist."
