Chapter 594 You See Big Girl

"Hey! Did you hear that Guinevere, the aimer of the B07 railgun team, was actually 'invited' into the interrogation room twice in a row today? Could it be that the Second Herrscher and the former Fourth Herrscher Is it her fault that she disappeared?”

If we were to choose the noisiest place in the world, then the two finalists would probably be the canteen and the market. But the human ear is sometimes quite gifted, allowing the owner of the ear to still clearly distinguish certain words that he or she cares about even in such a noisy environment.

But is this really a talent? Or is it more appropriate to say [torture]?

The previous sentence was lost in the noise. I could hear the words clearly, but for a while I couldn't find the person who spoke. However, because of the interesting content, someone quickly picked up the conversation:

"First of all, our B07 railgun team has found no such person - as we all know, the great Lady Guinevere has always trained with the two Herrschers. I guess she must also be a powerful Herrscher! Tangtang Lord Herrscher came to act as our aiming hand. Isn’t this a joke? There must be a mistake!”

At this tone and tone, the girl carefully glanced at her from the corner of her eye. It was not surprising that the person who just spoke was really her "captain".

"Hey! Hey! Don't say that. Although she was taken to the interrogation room twice, wasn't she released properly? Well, she is still sitting there eating and drinking. Obviously these two things It has nothing to do with her, so I advise everyone to still Mind your own business, after all, that lord is following Bronya and the Second Herrscher every day. If the leader of the alliance really passes the position to Bronya one day, what will her name be...Xing Jin Your Majesty, it’s inevitable that we will be purged!”

"Pfft hahaha——"

"Maybe, you see, Lady Bronya usually ignores her. Ah, this is indeed a sign of her strength. After all, no one else has the shame to bother Lady Bronya."

The girl chewed the bread gently. The combination of butter, sugar and flour should have brought a sweet taste, but the girl only felt that she was chewing a ball of paper.

In fact, she has no talent at all. She has never had any talent since she was a child. The reason why she can distinguish those voices clearly in such a noisy place is because the people who spoke met her first and then specifically talked about it. This topic inevitably raises the voice a bit.

And another reason is...

"Guinevere?"

"!"

The noise, and the answer that was about to pop up in my mind, were cut off by a simple voice.

Guinevere raised her head, and Bronya was leaning forward, almost reaching across the entire table in front of her. Her iconic dead fish eyes had disappeared, and there was only suppressed concern in her eyes.

She raised her hand, first waved it in front of Guinevere, and then rested the back of her hand on her forehead to feel the temperature.

"Are you okay?"

"I……"

Guinevere wanted to respond to this concern, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what she could say.

"Guinevere's face looks quite bad. She must have not slept well last night. Then let's go to bed early tonight."

Xi'er was also whispering beside her. Of course, neither she nor Bronya were so deaf that they couldn't hear those words, they just didn't want to mention them.

Maybe she was worried about being irritated - Guinevere thought.

No matter what, Bronya-senpai and Xier-senpai are both great people, but...

"Bronya...Xier...don't you ask me about the interrogation..."

As she expected, when she lowered her head and uttered these words, the two girls in front of her also fell into silence for a short time.

Then, the noise around her reached her ears again.

"Then again, she has really... uh... let's forget it for the past six months."

"There's nothing bad to say. Isn't it just that your figure is getting better and better? Well, if you like her, you can try hooking up with her. Most of the guys like her who are not very beautiful in the first place have no experience in love. , in my experience, her self-understanding has probably not been refreshed. At this time, as long as you care about her a little, she will give all her love back to you. Isn't this just the right time to catch Lady Bronya's boat. ?”

"What dirty things are you talking about here, you idiot!"

"Yes, yes...it's better not to talk about this. It was fine before, but this is a bit too much..."

"What are you afraid of? I can't see you being so hypocritical. You all talk so sanctimoniously and your eyes are constantly wandering over there. Why do you think you are some kind of flower protector?"

The surrounding voices gradually became erratic, and her eyes were a little sour. Guinevere originally thought she would cry, but her vision was not blurred.

Why aren't there even tears? Why?

The questions in her heart never stopped for a moment, and she finally gave her own answer - maybe she was used to it.

"Guinevere!"

"Well……"

Cold fingers slid across her cheek and gently blocked her ears.

Lifting her face fifteen degrees, she met Xi'er's eyes as deep as the sea.

"Does this... feel better?"

Feeling the coolness on the other girl's fingertips begin to spread throughout her body, and finally drive the heat that should have been in the summer to an invisible corner, Guinevere closed her eyes and nodded lightly.

However, a second later, she shook her head again, held Xier's wrist, and took off her hands.

"Okay, I'm not that fragile. It's not like I've never heard these words before. At least compared to the beginning, I now have something that can interest everyone, right?"

Xi'er sat back on the stool, but the smile on her face was still worried.

Bronya held her head and tried her best to suppress the expression on her face, but she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Don't look at me like this. I'm not that fragile! I just experienced a little bit of what Kiana felt like..."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Guinevere mentioned this name, and then the atmosphere at the dinner table became even more silent.

But she was right about one thing. In the past, when Kiana was around, most of the focus of everyone's discussions was on Kiana. Those completely unprovoked but profound malice were always directed at that white-clad, hairless person. Go away as a filthy girl—maybe this is the reason why he is always willing to shamelessly stay by Kiana’s side? Even Guinevere herself couldn't help but think so.

"That... Guinevere..."

"What's wrong? Sister Bronya?"

Imitating the names she learned from Ciel, Guinevere tried to make her smile appear natural.

"No...Bronya wants...if you are willing, can you tell Bronya what happened? Although you probably don't know much, you should know more than Bronya. ? That idiot Kiana just disappeared, and then there was news that Miss Wendy also disappeared... Bronya felt that her mind was in a mess... and she was really... powerless. "

"Uh...Sister Bronya, you..."

"What's wrong? Do you think Bronya shouldn't have such an expression?"

With a somewhat sad smile, Bronya looked seriously into Guinevere's eyes and said:

"The squad leader said something - it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Bronya turned a blind eye to the current situation. That Dr. Mei didn't seem to want to tell Bronya anything, and Mr. Walter and the principal didn't know anything either. Not to mention, Bronya doesn’t even have the capital to be anxious now, Bronya doesn’t know anything.”

"..."

"Guinevere, if you know anything, please tell Bronya. Even if it is just some insignificant details, Bronya may still be helpless after knowing it, but it is better than not knowing how to be anxious now. Where to throw it?"

The gray eyes were like a dim mirror. Guinevere looked at her tiny reflection. For a long time, or maybe a short moment, she avoided Bronya's sight.

But that's not rejection.

Whether it is Bronya, Seele or Kiana, they are all too powerful, at least in Guinevere's eyes. They are so powerful that they are always helping her, but they never ask for her help.

But at this moment, she had something that could be used as repayment...something to offset each other.

"Well... how should I put it... I don't know much, but... there are indeed very strange things."

"Strange things? It means..."

Guinevere deliberately tilted her head, as if thinking for two or three seconds, and then spoke slowly:

"I did accept two summonses - not long after the first summons passed, I was invited back again before I even walked out of the door of the Intelligence Department. The reason... is that Miss Wendy also disappeared. But when I When I walked into the interrogation room, uh..."

Guinevere suddenly stopped speaking, and the next words seemed to require all her efforts to stop them before she could force them out:

"Although they said it was not an interrogation and I was not a suspect, everyone knew it in their hearts. However, when I walked into the interrogation room for the second time, something was really, really, really wrong."

The girl used three "realities" in a row, and it seemed that she could not continue the "story" without such emphasis.

"Although I have never experienced an interrogation, in TV dramas, it is usually two people interrogating one person. This is indeed the case the first time. But the second time, it is the other way around."

"in turn?"

"Uh-huh."

Guinevere nodded hurriedly.

"The person who was interrogated with me, Sister Bronya, and Xi'er also know each other, that is Mr. Kruger, the intern doctor."

As she spoke, Guinevere shook her injured arm, as if she was using the bandage on her arm to prove the existence of the man to the other two girls.

"Then the person sitting opposite us is also an acquaintance, Mr. Su, who always has his eyes closed. He is the only one, but he keeps his eyes open the whole time."

"..."

"Of course, when I went in, he also talked to the two people who interrogated us before. The two guys seemed to say-'Why are it the two of them again?' According to this statement, it seems that Kruger Sir, like me, is both a suspect in Kiana’s disappearance and a suspect in Miss Wendy’s disappearance…”

Bronya rubbed her brows heavily and glanced at the clock on the wall of the cafeteria. It was already close to six o'clock in the afternoon. Although I feel a little embarrassed to say this, if Guinevere is allowed to continue talking like this, she probably won’t be able to finish her talk until eight o’clock in the evening...

"So, Guinevere, don't you feel something is wrong? Bronya doesn't know when Wendy disappeared. However, the surveillance in the ward is much stricter than in the dormitory area. In other words, Miss Wendy disappeared. The news should be delivered pretty quickly. Anyway, you have an alibi, right?"

"Yeah, that's what I said too."

Guinevere's voice was a little unclear as she stuffed the last piece of bread soaked with meat juice into her mouth.

"But they insisted that they saw someone who looked exactly like me on the surveillance camera delivering breakfast to Miss Wendy. Within half a minute of me leaving, Miss Wendy disappeared. I repeatedly told Mr. Su Speaking of which, Miss Wendy and I were not close enough to get up early in the morning to bring her breakfast. Mr. Su also said that surveillance also showed that I was in the corridor of the Intelligence Department at that time. He said that the murderer was probably someone else. I was used as a scapegoat, so I used some method to pretend to be me.”

"Um……"

Bronya hummed noncommittally. She picked up the empty dinner plate, and Sile and Guinevere quickly followed.

Putting the plates in the designated places, the three of them left the cafeteria and walked towards the dormitory area.

Although this happened, the Salt Lake City base was unusually calm. Those who made decisions did not seem to take the disappearance of two consecutive [Herrschers] seriously - well, Wendy can certainly be regarded as a Herrscher, Although the core is already in Kiana's body, Mei has proved that people who have become Herrschers can still become Herrschers again even if they lose their core.

Moreover, after taking away Kiana, who had the Desire Gem in her body, the next target was to capture Wendy... It looked like she was planning to create another Fourth Herrscher.

Regardless of these bad things, the vacation for the three of them is still there, and it has been extended as a matter of course.

Normally, seeing Kiana still sweating during the holidays, most people would choose to go to the training room to accompany her, but at this time, no one was in such a state of mind.

Along the way, Bronya and Xi'er maintained an eerie silence. Guinevere only felt that the atmosphere was a little stiff, but after thinking for a long time, it seemed that no words were enough to resolve the dispute between Nayukiana and Wendy at this moment. The heaviness of being missing.

"Guinevere, if you have anything to say, you should wait until you get to the dormitory area to tell Bronya."

As if her heart had been penetrated, Guinevere heard Bronya's voice.

Glancing at the passers-by on both sides who were always walking around them, Guinevere nodded slightly without Bronya's sight.

…………

"Then, apart from you, why was Mr. Kruger identified as a suspect?"

Bronya sat on the bed like a duck, raised her head slightly, and looked at Guinevere, who was resting her butt on the corner of the table.

For some reason, Xi'er didn't follow. Maybe she wasn't interested in these stories. Guinevere paid no attention.

"Mr. Kruger is really miserable..."

Guinevere smiled meaningfully.

"Obviously he got the same leave as the rest of us, but because he was an intern with little status, he was brought back to cover by Director Kenneth of the Medical Department. The reason was that he had asked for leave yesterday. He received two calls early this morning. This job happens to be to check on Miss Wendy’s condition and take Kiana for weekly physical examinations.”

"Well... in a sense, this is too tragic..."

"Who says not? I got up at 5:30, clocked in at the medical department at 6:30, the director gave a lecture at 6:30, arrived at Miss Wendy's ward at 6:57 to inquire about the situation, and went back to hand in the report at 7:40 I have to go find Kiana again - Sister Bronya, you didn't see the look in Mr. Su's eyes when he heard this... He probably recalled some bad memories. Mr. Kruger said that he would probably do the same. It’s more like a doctor!”

With her frivolous voice and exaggerated movements, Guinevere even jumped off the table and jumped twice.

But in response, Bronya just lowered her head and sighed repeatedly:

"That was so tragic."

Guinevere, who tried to liven up the atmosphere but failed miserably, pulled up the stool and sat down again, in a rather unique posture - her legs spread apart, her upper body leaning forward and hanging on the backrest.

"Sister Bronya, do you want to play a game?"

"Bronya... I have no strength today..."

"Huh?"

"A little bit of a headache."

Bronya knocked her head. She kept a cold face most of the time. It was quite rare to show her vulnerable side so simply.

"Guinevere, please go and rest too. When you were in the cafeteria, you didn't look too good."

She said this while letting out a meaningless sigh.

As soon as she finished speaking, she took off her socks without any explanation and lay on the bed without covering herself with a quilt. She just turned over and faced the wall and stopped talking.

"..."

After a longer silence, Guinevere stood up again, gently put the chair back to its original place, and added as if superfluously:

"I understand, Senior Bronya, I will go back and have a good rest."

Feeling Bronya's even breathing, Guinevere tiptoed to the door and gently turned off the light.

"Pah——"

My vision suddenly became extremely dim, and I could vaguely hear the sound of the door opening and closing, as well as the sour friction sound of the door handle turning.

Time moves forward slowly and unshakably, anchored by every breath.

Perhaps a few minutes had passed, or perhaps more than an hour had passed, but the sound of footsteps that had been suppressed once again sounded in the room.

Suddenly, Bronya turned over and lay flat on the bed. Her breathing was accompanied by almost imperceptible footsteps.

But after confirming that she was still asleep, the footsteps started again.

As if it took a long time, in the hazy light and shadow, a ball of [nothingness] stood beside the bed.

The footsteps stopped here, and in the silent bedroom, only the deep and even breathing eroded reality bit by bit.

Suddenly at a certain moment, the sound of breathing split into two parts, as scattered as the rolling and falling tide.

But this situation did not last long, because the owner of the other breathing sound could not hold back after all, and said something at the last moment——

"I'm sorry, Senior Bronya... In this cruel world, it would be great if you were on our side."

That familiar voice was full of loneliness and helplessness, but Bronya just opened her eyes slowly and answered softly:

"Really, but I really don't want to believe it's you."
