But Ya Ya wasn't flustered. She looked directly at the other person without avoiding their gaze and spoke calmly.
"Don't worry, Mei-neechan. Bronya will bring Qi Shi back to you as soon as possible."
In an instant, the chill vanished, as if it were just an illusion. Raiden Mei revealed her gentle smile again, clasping her hands together and placing them on her cheeks with affection.
"Bronya, you have to be careful, and Qi Shi-kun too. I'll be preparing a big meal at home for you to come back."
"Kiana, Bronya, you must be careful, and come back as soon as possible," Kiana said with concern and reluctance.
After saying goodbye to their two companions, Qi Shi and Bronya embarked on their journey to the Sea of Quanta.
Before setting off, Qi Shi made the final arrangements. He handed a bracelet to Bronya and explained its workings to her.
Simply put, this is an insurance policy that protects her from the erosion of quantum energy, allows her to find the Qi Room in the Sea of Quanta, and enables her to return to her original world on her own.
As for why insurance is necessary, it's because Qi Shi doesn't intend to use conventional methods to search for Seele among countless world bubbles.
Although he could travel freely in the Sea of Quanta, finding Seele was not an easy task. He didn't actually know where Seele was. Searching for someone in the infinitely vast Sea of Quanta was more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.
So when conventional methods didn't work, he came up with a less 'conventional' solution.
He would throw Bronya into the Sea of Quanta and let her drift according to her own existence, without interfering, but simply following by to ensure her safety.
The emotions between the members of the Azure Sea Group can transcend space. Bronya can always move in the direction of Seele, and Seele can also sense Bronya across the vast distance of the Sea of Quanta.
He believed in the bond between the two girls, and that even if Bronya hadn't found Seele yet, the little butterfly would fly to find her Bronya sister.
A device powerful enough to traverse the quantum sea—an incredibly wondrous device.
Seeing this, Bronya was certain in her heart that her choice was correct. Qi Shi casually took out an item that was something Anti-Entropy could not even imagine.
But as she listened to the other person's story, Bronya turned her gaze to the pale blue gem in Qi Shi's hand, the source of the production tool. She clearly saw that the bracelet was created from nothing at an extremely fast speed by his power.
Sensing the girl's curiosity, Qi Shi casually explained.
"Oh, this is the gold I got from a kind person this morning."
Duck blinked. As a gaming expert, she naturally knew the meaning of this term, but in reality, she just couldn't quite understand it.
At this moment, Qi Shi gently tapped her forehead with his finger and spoke in a very gentle, almost fatherly manner.
"Don't worry, Bronya, everything I have in the future will be yours."
Some strange things were said.
Duck blinked again and tilted its head slightly. Although it didn't quite understand, it still grasped the general meaning: Qi Shi seemed to be going to hand over the gem to it.
Her grey eyes gazed at the beautiful gemstone in the other person's hand, which emitted a faint glow.
It wasn't just a desire for that magical power, but also a strange emotion within myself that I inexplicably wanted to possess.
But even though she really wanted it, Bronya shook her head.
"Bronya has nothing left to give you."
Although the other party did not agree to her previous request, she had already decided in her heart that what she had said before, even if the time had not come yet, everything she had in the future belonged to the other party, and what she had promised to Qi Shi could not be used as a return.
Seele can't, that's Bronya's bottom line, she can't drag Seele into this.
"But if it's Xing, then Bronya can help you persuade Xing to be your lover."
Chapter 101 No one would come to such a suspicious shop.
"There's no need for Xing's matter. I have a feeling that even if you don't go to the orphanage, she will come to you on her own."
After hearing Bronya's outrageous statement, Qi Shi simply shrugged, causing the gray-haired girl to tilt her head slightly in confusion, somewhat bewildered.
But if she didn't need help, it seemed like there was no one else besides Anzu. Lilia and Rosalia were too young, and she felt a little reluctant to do so.
Everything was in place, and no preparations were needed. Qi Shi simply raised his hand slightly, and a door opened in front of him, revealing countless worlds through the light and shadow.
"This is the gateway to countless worlds."
He looked at Bronya with a smile and extended an invitation.
"By stepping into it, we can enter the Sea of Quanta, find our heart's desire, and rescue the lost girl who has been waiting for so long."
Looking at the door that was eroding the purple energy inward, Bronya took a deep breath. Although she could feel the danger emanating from the depths of her soul, her expression remained incredibly firm.
She touched the bracelet on her fair wrist, and Qi Shi's only unease disappeared. She stepped forward and entered the room.
Seele, Bronya is here to save you.
A flash of light appeared on the door, swallowing the two inside, turning them into collapsing specks of light and disappearing without a trace.
Profound, oppressive, chaotic.
An unsettling sense of detachment tugged at her body. Unlike Qi Shi and Bianca, whose extraordinary talents completely ignored the negative effects of traversing the quantum sea, Bronya felt as if her body was being twisted, with a deep-sea-like oppression coming from all directions.
She could feel the energy around her like a gaping maw of an abyss trying to erode and assimilate her, but it was blocked by the thin halo emanating from the bracelet. Even so, the extreme pressure made it difficult for her to move, and her consciousness blurred as she drifted along with the current.
Bronya had no idea how long she had been drifting in the dark and deep world.
Suddenly, a ray of light appeared before my eyes, as if breaking through a warm barrier, and the world regained its warmth.
"here it is……"
The glaring sunlight made Bronya feel uncomfortable, so she raised her hand to shield her eyes. She saw the green leaves swaying on the trees and heard birds chirping and the sounds of vehicles.
After a while, she found herself in a modern city.
Is this what it feels like to traverse the quantum sea?
Bronya thought to herself, but she felt that this sensation was not like traveling through time, but rather like being thrown in directly.
The moment the idea crossed her mind, she immediately shook her head and dismissed it.
She believed that Qi Shi was such a good person that he would never do such a thing to her.
The other party has been so generous in helping me find Seele, I can't have such bad thoughts about it.
Bring your wandering thoughts back to the main topic.
Has Bronya arrived in World Bubble yet?
The gray-haired girl rubbed her forehead as she got up from the ground and looked around. After Qi Shi's explanation, she had a general understanding of the Sea of Quanta.
However, the familiar architecture and the traffic flowing through the streets, the city that was no different from the original world, gave Bronya the illusion that she had actually traveled through time.
She looked down at the information displayed on the wristband's screen.
The bracelet was working properly, confirming that she had indeed left the original world. All she needed to do next was hack into the network of this world and search for information related to Seele.
However, at the same time, she discovered something even more serious.
"Qi Shi, are you there?"
Bronya spoke in her mind, but received no response.
Her movements paused slightly, and her breathing became rapid, but there was no panic on her delicate face. Instead, after taking a deep breath, she quickly regained her composure and faced what had happened.
Panic won't solve anything.
She looked down at the bracelet on her wrist again. Qi Shi had said that it should be able to locate his position, which meant that the other party had anticipated this situation.
Bronya tapped the bracelet a few times, and soon the content on the light screen changed. A three-dimensional navigation map appeared in front of her, with Qi Shi's location at the other end. Judging from the map, the distance between her and Qi Shi was not far.
This eased the girl's mind somewhat, but it didn't completely put her mind at ease.
Everything is normal, the reinstalled rabbit is running normally, there are no adverse reactions in the body, and the combat power is performing normally.
Bronya checked herself again, confirming everything before setting off to find her companions.
Along the way, she saw many people, some in a hurry, others leisurely. Under the green grass and clear sky, several beautiful women walked together, laughing softly. Two girls on the street shared ice cream with each other. The atmosphere was rosy. The world seemed very peaceful, and the atmosphere was too beautiful.
But Bronya didn't realize that all the people she had seen along the way were women; she hadn't seen a single male face, and even her pets were all females huddled together.
Or perhaps, living in St. Freya Academy, she had long since become accustomed to this way of life.
After some time, Bronya, who was searching for Qi Shi, followed the guidance and floated to the front of a shop.
She looked down at the directions on her bracelet, then looked up at the storefront in front of her to confirm that this was the right place.
But when Bronya's gaze fell upon the shop sign, she fell silent, for there were four large characters written on it.
The gray-haired girl pushed open the door without saying a word and entered. She saw Qi Shi sitting comfortably in front of the counter. His eyes were covered with a black cloth, and beside him, the walls were covered with many brocade banners.
Bronya: Can a massage parlor really have 600 years of experience?
Qi Shi: This is a secret technique passed down through the Immortal Boat, passed down only to one person in one generation.
"Oh, you've arrived, Bronya." Qi Shi greeted her calmly as she saw someone walk in through the door, as if everything was perfectly natural.
The fact that he easily recognized the girl showed that the black cloth covering her face clearly did not obstruct her vision at all.
"What are you doing?" Bronya asked after a moment of silence.
"I waited for a while but you never showed up, so I opened a shop here to benefit humanity," Qi Shi said frankly.
"When I arrived in this world, I already sensed that there was no trace of Seele within this world bubble."
In fact, the time it took Bronya to find Qi Shi was enough for Bianca and Qi Shi to fight their way through and save five worlds.
But finding Seele has never relied on efficiency, but on time.
That's why Qi Shi seemed so relaxed, completely immersed in the atmosphere of the world bubble, because there was no use in rushing.
"Since there's no trace of Seele, let's leave and head to the next world."
Bronya nodded upon hearing this, and then said calmly and confidently.
"Are you trying to take advantage of girls this way?"
"Bronya advises you to give up as soon as possible; no one will come to such a dubious shop."
But as soon as she finished speaking, the sound of a door opening came from behind her, along with a girl's surprised voice.
"Hey! This is the store. I heard from the internet that it has rave reviews and the service is exceptional."
Chapter 102 Kiana, why do I see you everywhere?
Bronya: "..."
This place has only just appeared, so where did all these positive reviews come from?
