Honkai Q&A, the opening reveals the Far East Demon Cave

Chapter 93



["How can anyone not like something as delicious as bitter gourd?" - Honkai III Delisa. 】

["Bitter melon is the worst thing in the world!" — Honkai III Kiana (K423). 】

["Kiana, don't be a picky eater!" - Honkai Impact III: Raiden Mei Ai. 】.

Father Otto smiled.

"Haha! By the way, Joachim, Mrs. Lisel will be coming to pick you up tomorrow, have you packed your luggage? "

Looking at Joachim, Otto nodded and added, "I'm out of the house, and I'll leave the affairs of the house to you, Delisa." "

"Okay, don't worry!"

There's no escape and innocence in this world, and on that immature face, you can only see the vicissitudes of life that have been polished by the hardships and frost of life.

["The big aunt of this world looks so distressing. —Honkai III Kiana (K423). 】

As she spoke, Kiana unconsciously touched her aunt's white hair.

["Hmm...... Wait!Kiana, what are you doing!" — Honkai III Teresa. 】

Teresa slapped Kiana's little hand away, and her face was a little red, because it felt very good to be touched on the head, but the more comfortable Teresa became, the more ashamed she became.

Feel comfortable being touched by your eldest niece, what kind of elder is this!

["Mrs. Lisel?"—Is this Mrs. Lisel's name Lisel Albert Einstein?"—Honkai III Tesla.] 】

Dr. Tesla said with some urgency.

["Dr. Tesla, I don't think it's something to be worth paying attention to!" - Honkai III. Einstein. 】

Einstein said seriously.

After Father Otto left, as the eldest person in the orphanage, Teresa naturally took on the role of head of the orphanage, serving the young children23 one by one, and then began to clean up the toys scattered on the floor.

"Theresa, is there anything you can do to help?"

Bronya and Ciel volunteered to help, and Teresa thought for a moment and said, "I want to think about it...... There are still five baskets of clothes that have not been washed, the account books have not been checked, and the roof of the innermost room in the north is also leaking, so I have to make up for it......"

"By the way, there's not enough firewood. Can you please go and cut some wood on the opposite hillside? While the weather is not too cold now, I want to prepare a little more. "

Delissa said with an embarrassed expression, and said politely: "I'm sorry, this job should have been done by a boy with a lot of strength." But we lost Karel not so long ago, Joachim...... I'm going to leave the orphanage soon........."

Delissa's tone became more and more subdued, and the atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and Bronya was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Ciel said softly, "It's okay, let Ciel and Sister Bronya go to collect wood together." "

Hearing this, Delisha also cleaned up her mood, and she thanked her and said, "Excuse me, please remember to come back before the sun goes down, it's still a little cold at night." I probably ...... I also need someone to be quiet......"

Seeing that Delisa was in a bad mood, Ciel said hello to Delisa and walked out with Bronya's little hand.

Two small figures dragged a dilapidated sleigh on the uninhabited snowfield, Bronya held Xi'er's hand tightly, although it was bitterly cold now, but both of them were the owners of the stigma, their physical fitness could fully resist the environment here, but the people living here were still very difficult.

Walking on the road, Bronya suddenly said, "It's a little strange!"

Ciel asked in surprise, "Is there something wrong?" "

Bronya looked around and said, "It's already some distance from the orphanage, and Quantum Shadow aside, we haven't encountered any enemies. Obviously a deserted snowfield, there are no Honkai beasts, not even carnivorous animals. Wait......"

Bronya said as she suddenly calmed down, carefully sensing something.

"Is it an illusion, I always feel like there's something in the air!"

You must know that this is just a small world bubble, very unstable, has no future, and is on the verge of extinction at any time, in this environment, there should be countless Honkai Beasts and Quantum Shadows, but there are very few enemies here, as if they ...... Someone cleaned it up a while ago.

"Sister Bronya, there's a wooded here. "

Hill found a forest full of birch and pine trees covered with snow, many of which were bent due to the weight of the snow.

"Ciel, don't hold on, let Bronya come. "

Watching the thin Ciel reluctantly lift the small axe made Bronya feel a little distressed.

Ciel shook her head: "It's okay, as long as it's in these world bubbles, I can maintain the way I am now, and I also want to help, I want to share some of it for Sister Bronya." Don't look at me like this, I have a lot of strength, hehe!"

As if to show it, Ciel swung a rusty little axe, and after a breaking wind, a birch tree with a thick bowl mouth was cut down by Ci'er with an axe.

"Yes, yes, Ciel is the best. "

With a remark in agreement, Bronya stepped forward and worked with Ciel to chop the birch tree into sections of firewood, stack them neatly on top of the sleigh, and prepare to fill them up and drag them back to the orphanage.

"Life here is like an orphanage where we grew up. Seeing those children is like seeing us in the past. Although life is very difficult, everyone will find the direction of their efforts together and maintain these small happiness together. Though...... We all lost our families, but at the orphanage, we found a new one. "

As Ciel spoke, there was a click, and another tree fell.

"But...... The children here seem to be a little disunited, and Joachim seems to be leaving the orphanage. "

Judging by the priest's words, it seems that Joachim was adopted and was able to live a better life, which should be a good thing. "

Bronya said.

"It's a good thing for orphanages to have children adopted. But I always found Joachim's reaction a little strange. "

Ciel agrees with Bronya, but she always feels a little strange.

"There must be something behind this, let's go back and ask Teresa again. We've collected enough firewood, so let's go back. "

Seeing that the sleigh was full, Bronya said to Ciel.

"Okay, Sister Bronya!"

The two girls dragged a sleigh that weighed much more than they combined towards the orphanage.

This firewood should be enough for the children to use for a while.

"Teresa, let's come back, this firewood should last for a while. "

Dragging a large sleigh, Bronya and Ciel return to the orphanage.

"Ah, thank you, that's a great help!"

Teresa looked happy when she saw the firewood slowly sledding.

Bronya and Cier's harvest this time will require at least one day of work together for the children in the orphanage to collect, which can make the children relaxed, and Teresa is very happy.

Dressa took the sleigh into the storeroom, sorted the firewood skillfully, stacked it next to the fireplace to bake, and added firewood to the stove, and it was obvious that she was used to doing these things.

Although her strength can't bring any good life to the children, it still doesn't take much effort to do these chores.

"Life is very difficult, but as long as the priest and everyone are there, I will definitely get through it!"

"When did Teresa get here?"

Bronya and Cirmar plug the cracks and holes in the walls of the house with moss, and Bronya pulls the tarpaulin and jumps on the roof to help fix the roof.

"I don't remember my parents at all, the earliest memories ...... It was lying on the priest's shoulder. He tied me to my body and went to chop wood in the snow. It was snowing outside, but it was warm on the priest's body. When I grew up, I learned that this orphanage was founded by a priest. I wasn't the first kid to arrive, but I was supposed to be the longest. I love it here and I don't plan to leave. "

Theresa whispered a hint of remembrance.

"That'...... What about Joachim?"

Bronya had already repaired the roof, and it seems that she had done this a lot when she was in Siberia.

Seeing that Teresa opened the conversation, Bronya asked her about Joachim again.

"Why did you suddenly ask about him?"

"At lunchtime, you seemed to have some arguments. He's leaving tomorrow, and Bronya wants to know what's going on?"

["It seems that what happened to Joachim is the test of the world's bubble, what conditions does Mr. Walter want to test Bronya?"—Honkai III Bronya. 】

["The eldest aunt of the other world looks so mature, but she is a little distressed. —Honkai III Kiana (K423). 】

["So is Kiana, who wanders around like a stray cat in Skydome City. - Honkai Impact III: Raiden Mei. 】

["I suddenly have a question, Teresa in our world is a clone, so how did Teresa in the other world come about? —Honkai III: Infinite Tower Himiko. 】

["Could it be the child born to Father Otto and Kalian?" - Honkai III Fu Hua. 】

["Ahem ......" - Honkai III Otto. 】

"It's not that Joachim and I have any contradictions, but that the priest has a problem with him. Teresa in the video explains.

"Father and him, what happened?"

Ciel also asked.

“......"

Theresa was silent for a moment, but she spoke.

"Joachim's father, the priest killed him!"

Bronya and Ciel were taken aback: "How can this be?"

["It seems that Joachim and Otto in the other worlds are father-killers!" Did he choose this world to test Bronya in order to make Bronya understand his own mental journey?"—Honkai III. Tesla. 】

["Maybe something complicated has happened in it, so it's better not to jump to conclusions."] —Honkai III. Einstein. 】

"As far as I know, his father was a doctor who had been studying how to recall Joachim's mother, who had died of illness. To achieve his goal, he touched the forbidden knowledge ......"

Teresa tells the story of Joachim and the priest.

"At first, Joachim's father experimented with mice, which later became Kitten Puppy 950. Finally, when the priest found him, he had already reached out to the wandering orphans......"

“...... How can this be......"

Ciel covered her mouth in surprise.

So, out of necessity, the priest killed Joachim's father...... Then Joachim became an orphan as well. "

"So, Joachim always held a grudge against the priest?"

Teresa shook her head: "If he really has a grudge in his heart, it is a relief, Joachim knows about his father's sin, and he also wants to stop his father, but there is nothing he can do." So, he didn't hold a grudge against the priest. He came to the orphanage, took care of the other children like a big brother, and rushed to the front of everything. "

"During that time, I thought he had forgotten about the past. "

"And then?"

"Joachim is smart and good at fiddling with tools. He can do everything given to him very well. So, the priest intended to make him his heir. But from that day on, he became gloomy...... That's when I realized that he could never forget it. "

Ciel guessed, "Perhaps, he just doesn't want to take over the orphanage." He may have a life he longs for. "

Teresa sighed: "If that's the case, he'll say it." But Joachim didn't. He...... Actually, I'm afraid. He was afraid that one day, he would stand in the same position as the priest and face the same choice as him. Fear that I will inflict the pain on another child. After all, it was a shadow he couldn't forget. "

Shortly thereafter, Madame Lisel of the neighboring town offered to adopt Joachim, and perhaps leaving here would give him a fresh start in life. "

Bronya felt like he was running away. But in this way, he will never be able to untie the knot in his heart. "

"A lot of times we understand the truth, but there are some things in our hearts that are difficult to let go, Joachim can't let go, but it's just as hard to let go of you and me. That being said, I still don't want to see Joachim's gloomy look, he wasn't like that before. I want to help him, after all, we are all family members living together. "

As she spoke, Teresa suddenly turned her head to look at the sky outside the window, and said suspiciously, "...... Something is wrong, it's so late, the priest should have returned!"

"I'll go out and find it!"

Teresa nodded, touched an axe in the corner, and rushed out, Bronya and Ciel looked at each other and followed.

"Let's split up, you go to the direction of the path, and we go to the direction of the hillside!"

"Okay, thank you. I'll leave it to you on the other side. ".
