The world order had been re-established, but it had not yet fully stabilized. Bronya had been promoted from the leader of a few hundred members of Fire Moth to the leader of the entire world of Fire Moth.
But with everything starting from scratch and the civilization's continuity broken, the administrative departments were completely non-functional. Almost all complicated matters required Bronya's approval and coordination.
Burdened by tedious documents and procedures, as well as drafts for new laws, Bronya had been working for several days and nights without rest, exhausted and with bloodshot eyes.
"Aaaah! Why do I have to deal with this kind of stuff! I want a vacation! I want to slack off!!"
Bronya, who was processing documents at her desk, suddenly threw them all in the air, shouted in protest, and then lazily flopped onto the table.
"Before, I had to force myself to do things I couldn't, to lead everyone to survive and fight…
But now, for what reason on earth did I become the leader of the entire world!!"
Bronya lay sprawled on the table, loudly complaining full of resentment.
But after a few minutes of venting, Bronya patted her cheeks, swept away her previous gloom, and pulled herself together again.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror on her desk, Bronya used her hands to pull up the corners of her mouth, forcing a stiff smile.
"Alright, that's enough complaining for today. Time to get back to work!"
Bronya re-organized the documents she had just thrown around, stacked them neatly to the side, and buried her head in her work again.
"My dear Big Sis! I have a big surprise for you!"
With a bang, the office door was pushed open by a frantic Seele. The sudden noise startled Bronya, who was engrossed in her work, so much that she flung her pen away.
"Seele!" Bronya called out in mild anger. "Didn't I tell you to knock before coming in! I feel like I'm not going to die on the battlefield anymore, but I'll be scared to death by you at my desk sooner or later."
"Hehe… I just got a little excited and forgot~ I'll definitely be careful next time!"
Seele playfully stuck out her tongue and put her hands together, promising Bronya.
Bronya sighed helplessly and shook her head. She had lost count of how many times she had heard that promise from Seele.
"Go on, what is it this time? Every time you say 'surprise,' you bring me a big problem…
So please don't tell me it's something like 'someone wanted someone else's tamed Honkai Beast, couldn't get it, and started a fight.'
Or 'someone got a better plot of land, and someone else tried to snatch it.' Don't bother me with such pointless things…"
As Bronya spoke, she yawned, leaned back, and stretched, perfectly showcasing her graceful figure under her uniform.
"Ah, well… actually…"
Seeing this, Seele wiped the nosebleed that had inadvertently started, throw aside what she was originally going to say, and firmly imported this welfare-filled scene into her mind.
After watching for a while, until Bronya finished stretching and sat up straight again, Seele muttered under her breath: "My dear Big Sis… it's such a pity… you have such a great figure, but your chest is completely flat… if only you had breasts, it would be even more perfect~"
Bronya's face darkened immediately. She silently opened the drawer beside her and took out a long spear that hadn't been fired in a long time.
"Stupid Seele, I told you not to show off your chest in front of me!! I want to have breasts too, aaaah!!"
Bronya, both angry and tearful, grabbed the spear, raised it, and chased Seele, hitting her on the head with the shaft.
"Ouch, that hurts! Big Sis Bronya, I was wrong, please don't hit my head!"
Seele covered her head and was chased around the office by Bronya.
Suddenly, a holographic projection of Young Mei appeared in front of Bronya and Seele.
Young Mei (hereafter referred to as Young Mei), as the central AI of ME Corp, had been rebooted by Bronya when ME Corp was rebuilt. Bronya told her everything that had happened and then extended an invitation to her.
After Bronya promised to always stay with her, Young Mei chose to join Bronya's Fire Moth and, with Yiselian's modifications, became the main control hub for the entire Fire Moth network.
Seeing Young Mei appear, Bronya cleared her throat and sat back down in her office chair.
Seele, on the other hand, covered her head and slowly moved behind Young Mei, cautiously watching Bronya.
Bronya shot the childish Seele a look, then turned to Young Mei.
"Young Mei, is there something you need me for?"
Young Mei turned to look at Seele, then flicked her on the forehead. "Seele, are you going to say it, or should I?"
"Hehe… you do it. It's all Big Sis's fault for being too beautiful, I almost forgot what I was supposed to do…" Seele touched her face, a little embarrassed, then looked at Bronya, observing her expression.
"Oh? Could it be that Seele has caused some trouble that requires even Young Mei's intervention?" Bronya narrowed her eyes and gave Seele a look that said (I'll deal with you properly when we get back).
"It's not that Seele caused any trouble. It's that one of the creators of the world, Ryn, has returned."
"Ryn?" Bronya froze for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she asked excitedly, "Which Ryn? Penglaiji Ryn or Ryn?"
"The big brother one."
"Why didn't he let us know he was coming back! Where is he now?" Bronya said as she took her coat from the coat rack, preparing to fix her appearance and go meet Ryn.
Young Mei's eyes rolled as a stream of data flowed past, and she said:
"Schicksal's Overseer Theresa received Ryn and showed him most of the newly established things. They parted ways on the top floor of ME Corp not long ago, and Ryn is now heading our way."
"Oh? I think I hear people talking about me?" Ryn stood outside the office door, looking at these companions with whom he had overcome so many difficulties, a smile unconsciously forming on his lips.
Then he smiled and knocked on the open office door, pointing at it.
"The door was open, so you can't say I was eavesdropping!"
"Of course not~ We were just saying that you were heading our way! I didn't expect you to be so fast, you're here already!" Seele happily skipped over to Ryn's side and started circling him.
Ryn looked at the overjoyed Seele circling and sizing him up, and reached out to pat her head. "Because I wanted to see you all, I couldn't help but walk a little faster~"
"Question. A phenomenon of space being abnormally distorted by gravity has been detected. It is presumed that Ryn used the black hole effect to compress the distance between two points and teleported here. Conclusion, Ryn did not walk here."
Young Mei's childish voice piped up weakly. Then she looked up at Ryn and said to him seriously:
"Big Brother Ryn, it's not right to lie!"
"Who are you? Whose kid is this?"
Ryn blinked in confusion, then pointed at Young Mei in horror, looking at Bronya in disbelief.
"Bronya, you cheated on Kiana?!"
