Inside the amusement park restaurant.
Bronya and Cocolia sat together, with the A-Lin sisters sitting opposite them.
Looking at Bronya, who was sitting to the side and not eating anything.
"Bronya, are you not feeling well?" Cocolia asked.
"No, Mother, it's just that Bronya isn't hungry yet." Bronya looked at the delicious food in front of her.
"Whether you're hungry or not, it's mealtime now, so you should eat something. After all, we still need to take them both to continue playing this afternoon, right?" Saying that, Cocolia looked towards the A-Lin sisters opposite her.
"Eh? We can still continue playing this afternoon, Mother!" Rozaliya said happily upon hearing Cocolia's words.
"It's rare to come out, and we're at an amusement park, so let's have fun." Cocolia said with a smile.
Bronya also turned her head to look at Cocolia after hearing that, but still said nothing.
"So, you should still eat something. After all, being hungry is very uncomfortable." Saying that, Cocolia cut a piece of steak and brought it to Bronya's mouth.
After hesitating for a moment, Bronya opened her mouth and ate it.
"That's right, children are better off carefree. You can learn from them both; that way, you'll be happier and more relaxed."
"Yes, Mother." Bronya swallowed the steak in her mouth and began to eat the delicious food in front of her.
"That's more like it." Cocolia said, looking at Bronya gently.
After lunch and a period of rest, Cocolia took the three of them to continue playing in the amusement park.
Go-karts, drop towers, and they also visited the aquarium inside the amusement park.
Until evening.
The four of them rode the Ferris wheel together, ending their amusement park trip with it.
On the Ferris wheel, Liliya and Rozaliya both leaned by the window, looking at the scenery outside.
Cocolia and Bronya sat facing each other on the seats.
"Bronya, come back with me later." Cocolia spoke first.
"Sorry, Mother, Bronya wants to stay here." Bronya said, lowering her head, avoiding Cocolia's gaze.
"Is that so? Your sisters at home really miss you."
"Sorry…"
"No need to say sorry, Bronya. Can you tell me why you want to stay here?" Cocolia turned her head to look in the direction of St. Freya Academy.
"Bronya still has something she needs to complete." Bronya said softly.
"Then what else do you need to complete? Isn't it good to come home with me and live with your sisters?" Cocolia sighed.
She knew Bronya's personality; once she made up her mind about something, it would be impossible to easily persuade her to change her mind.
"Mother, regarding the Third Honkai Impact, was it caused by you?" When Bronya said this, her hands were tightly clenched into fists on her lap.
…" Hearing Bronya's words, Cocolia could only remain silent; she didn't like to lie in front of her children.
While Cocolia was silent, Bronya truly confirmed it. All her previous fantasies and wishful thinking shattered at this moment.
"So, Mother, why did you do it?" Bronya looked up at this moment, staring directly at Cocolia.
"…To make you all safer." Cocolia said.
After hearing Cocolia's words, Bronya's body stiffened for a moment, "But…"
"There is no 'but,' Bronya. You need to understand that there's nothing perfect in this world. To achieve something, you must pay a price." Cocolia sighed.
"I am your mother. I must make sure you live better, are safer, and are happier." Cocolia looked at Bronya, then at the A-Lin sisters.
The A-Lin sisters were both leaning by the window, looking at the scenery outside, listening to the argument behind them. They knew that now was not the time to disturb their mother and sister.
Their sister hadn't returned home or contacted them for such a long time, there must be a reason, especially at home, every time they mentioned their sister to their mother, their mother would be silent for a while.
"But that's not an excuse for you to cause the Honkai Eruption." Bronya said after a moment of silence.
"Bronya, just as I said, this is all the price for making you safer."
After hearing Cocolia's words, Bronya turned her head away. She didn't know when her mother had become like this.
"Wow!" Rozaliya suddenly exclaimed, looking outside.
"Mother, Sister, look outside." Rozaliya said, pointing outside.
Following the direction Rozaliya pointed, they both saw the full view of the entire amusement park.
Now, all the lights in the amusement park had been turned on.
Especially since they were still on the Ferris wheel, the entire amusement park looked incredibly dazzling.
"Since you still want to continue studying here, I won't stop you. For now, just stay with us and let's put a good end to this outing."
Saying that, Cocolia stood up, gently ruffled Bronya's head, and then stood beside the A-Lin sisters.
Bronya looked at Cocolia's back, hesitated for a moment, and then stood beside her.
Together, they admired the beautiful scenery outside.
When the Ferris wheel ride ended, the four of them walked out of the amusement park.
Standing at the entrance of the amusement park.
"Bronya, are you really not coming back with us?" Cocolia said again.
Bronya shook her head, "Sorry, Mother, besides my sisters, there are others waiting for Bronya."
"Is that so? It seems Bronya has made some friends." Cocolia took the A-Lin sisters' hands, "Since you've made your own decision, then so be it."
"However, if anything happens, you can tell Mother. Mother will always support you. Also, when you're free, remember to contact home. After all, everyone else misses you very much."
After Cocolia finished speaking, she pulled the A-Lin sisters and left.
As they walked away, the A-Lin sisters turned their heads to wave goodbye to Bronya.
Bronya waved back at them, watching their retreating figures.
Only when their figures were no longer visible did Bronya turn and walk towards the Academy.
Sorry, Mother, Bronya doesn't know how to face you.
Bronya has found a new family here, and what's more, Bronya's new family is the target of the mission you gave Bronya.
Bronya truly doesn't think Mei and the others are bad people.
