Star Railway: I have told you, I am not Otto

"Xie'er, there seems to be some medical supplies here."

Bronya found some crates in the corner of the orphanage, containing some medical alcohol.

"Let me see, let me see."

Xi'er leaned her head over, took a look, showed an expression of joy, and said:

"This should be the supplies Natasha put here before. I didn't expect it to be so completely preserved after several years!"

"Should we take it back?"

Bronya asked aloud,

"Although that Shivaro said that he would provide a large amount of supplies, Natasha shouldn't have too much of this kind of thing, right?"

"That's for sure. Come and help me... Hey, what is this?"

When Xi'er was thinking about how to move these supplies to Panyan Town, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a shiny object among a pile of medical alcohol.

Xi'er took it out and took a look and found that it was a crystal glass ball. Inside the glass ball was a white owl that had been chasing the snow hare.

Bronya's pupils were shocked when she saw the crystal ball, and she immediately took the crystal ball from Xie'er's hand.

"Huh? Do you know this thing?"

Seeing this, Xi'er asked doubtfully.

"This, this is me..."

Bronya looked at the crystal ball in her hand carefully again, and finally said with certainty,

"This is something from my childhood...I remembered it, Xi'er."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Bronya stretched out her hand and touched the wall of the orphanage, with many thoughts in her mind:

"Yes, I lived here before... I lived here before the city builders took me away and Lord Cocolia adopted me... I am from the lower area."

After saying a few words, Bronya looked at Xi'er again, with a complicated expression, but said extremely tenderly:

"Xie'er... I remembered your memory. You see, when I was a child, you were sitting on the swing over there. You always swung so high that you wanted to swing yourself to the upper area."

"what?"

Xi'er looked at the rusty swing over there, as if some hidden switch had been turned on, and memories came flooding back -

"Sister Bronya, when can we go to the upper area to have a look."

"The teacher said that we are too young to pass through the 'Heart of the Furnace' alone... However, Xi'er, an adult came to me a few days ago and said he could take me to the upper area. I will try to tell her, I’ll take you to the upper area to see with your own eyes the ocean that only appears in teacher’s fairy tales.”

"But, Sister Bronya...I remember, didn't the teacher say that the cold wave has enveloped our world? The ocean...does that kind of thing really still exist?"

"Perhaps it has solidified into ice... But Xi'er, it is precisely because of this, and precisely because this world is not beautiful, that we must follow great people like the Guardians. As long as we put in our efforts and faith, we will definitely be able to This imperfect world becomes what we want it to be.”

"Well... what Sister Bronya said is so difficult to understand."

"Haha, it's okay, Xi'er, you don't have to think so much... Why don't we make a pact. When we all grow up, we will go see the beautiful ocean together."

"Well, sister Bronya, I believe you."

……

Xi'er, who had recalled everything, couldn't help but turn red. This, this, this... was this when she was a child? Why was it a 0 when I was a child? ?

"Look, Xi'er, there's this."

Bronya came to the deserted side door of the orphanage and picked up a rusty brooch on the ground.

"The teachers at the orphanage often taught us how to do handicrafts. I remember that you seemed to have injured your hand at the time. You came to me crying and told me that you wanted me to make one for you..."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop!"

Seeing Bronya talking more and more enthusiastically, seemingly changing from 0 to 1, Xier quickly interrupted, fearing that her family status would be in jeopardy.

"Don't talk so much about what happened when I was a child. I also remembered it."

"Well, just remember it."

Bronya looked at Xier tenderly,

"In this case...it makes sense that I couldn't help but step forward to save you when you were controlled by Swaro's mechanical claw."

"I, I was not careful!"

Xi'er said harshly, fearing that Bronya would really become a 1 if she continued to speak, so she quickly changed the topic,

"Yucky, don't talk about this. Don't you think it's strange? Why don't we remember such an important memory? We didn't remember it until this year."

"Yaya...didn't you call me that when you were a kid?"

Finally, she made a small joke. Bronya became serious. After thinking for a moment, she said,

"If it were me...it could be explained by too much time and coincidence, but both of us have completely forgotten the memories of our childhood, which means someone must be pushing it secretly."

"Who could that be? Regarding my childhood, I can only think of things related to you."

Xi'er shrugged and said.

"In fact, it's not hard to imagine that the person behind the scenes that made you and me, and even the entire orphanage, forget that we were children, was my mother, the current Grand Guardian, Cocolia Rand."

Bronya told Xier her thoughts,

"My identity in the upper area is the acting Great Guardian... you know this.

The selection of the successor to the 'Guardian' will be carried out throughout Beloberg, ranging from two to three years to as long as several decades.

During this time, every child in Beloberg who reaches the age will be tested and a suitable successor to the guardian will be selected. "

"And the chosen one must say goodbye to the 'past' completely...The information about the successor of the Great Guardian is the highest level of confidentiality. It seems that Cocolia used a special method to block the memory.

It’s just that I didn’t expect that it’s not just me whose memory is blocked, but also everyone who came into contact with me when I was a child…”

"Isn't this too much?"

Xi'er inserted her waist and said very unhappily,

"If you are chosen to be the successor, you must say goodbye to the past. Have they ever asked you for your opinion? Also, I can understand keeping things secret, but they cleared the entire orphanage without anyone knowing. Regarding your memory, isn’t this too much?”

"Well...actually I promised them..."

Bronya scratched her head in embarrassment and said,

"Do you still remember? On the day you made an agreement with me to go see the sea together, I told you that someone found me and was willing to take me to the upper area. The condition was that I agreed to become the successor of the guardian."

Xi'er's eyes widened and she said, "Then you really agreed?"

"...Well, after all, at that time, they promised me that they would take you to the upper area with them, but it turned out that they lied to me."

Speaking of this, Bronya was also a little angry,

"And since my memory has been wiped out, I don't remember who you are at all... I'm sorry, Xi'er, it was me who forgot the agreement I made with you."

"It's not your fault. If you feel angry, when everything is ready, we will go up and beat those guardians down."

Xi'er said, clenching her fist again,

"I am much stronger now than when I was a child... By the way, you said that the great guardian is your adoptive mother. If you can't do it then, you can let me do it."

"I will never forget how much Master Cocolia cultivated me...but I will never forget the relationship between you and me, Xier."

Bronya took a deep breath and said,

"Everything that happened in the past has passed...I don't have to pursue it, but now, my mother is on the wrong path, and I have to help her correct her mistakes."

"Huh? Why do I feel like there's something in your words?"

"Well... I won't pursue it, but that doesn't mean you won't pursue it, Xier?"

"Huh?...You, do all the people in your upper-class area play like this?

Also, Yaya, I discovered that since you recalled the past, why has your tone towards me become so gentle? Do you not mind at all what I did to you before? "

"How could it be possible...after all, you are Xi'er that I like~?"

"..."
