Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Little Duck Evolves, Big Duck!
Chapter 7: Little Duck Evolves, Big Duck!
At dusk, the setting sun casts a glow like molten gold, the afterglow becomes beautiful, the night is enchanting, and all is silent. Only the evening breeze whistles and disturbs the softest place in people's hearts.
Under the boundless and vast night sky, the stars are twinkling and the bright full moon hangs high above, casting down thousands of silvery-white rays of light.
In a deserted village on the outskirts of Nagazora City.
A young girl of extraordinary beauty walked out of the dilapidated and quaint attic.
She has long cherry-colored hair and light blue eyes. She wears an off-the-shoulder shrine maiden costume, a black undershirt, and a rope-knotted shimenawa tied around her waist. She also wears white stockings and wooden clogs.
(TL: Shimenawa (標縄 or 注連縄) is a traditional Japanese ritual rope made of twisted straw or hemp, often adorned with paper streamers called shide.)
There is a pendant with the mark of the fox god on her neck, and a cherry-colored long sword hangs at her waist.
A pair of pink fox ears grew on her head, which was particularly attractive.
The fox lady in pink gently touched her reflection in the water, as if she was recalling the lively fox ears.
Her red lips moved and her eyes were blurred, just like a stream with water reaching the sky, and the layers of ripples painted a gentle picture.
Yae Sakura scooped up a puddle of water and washed her body. The clear water flowed down her forehead and along the tip of the stilt pen, and fell to her chest.
"Mr. Akito, where are you now?"
Yae Sakura whispered softly, her slender white fingers pinching a wrinkled scarlet letter paper.
The dim and blurry handwriting must have been rubbed countless times.
There were two large and elegant characters on it: Marriage Certificate.
...........
In a government building in Nagazora City, a petite figure was shuttling between the floors.
"A-12 area! There is an intruder! Requesting support, repeat, A-12 area! There is an invasion..."
Before the guard could finish his words, he was hit by a heavy knife, which hit the corresponding acupuncture points accurately, causing him to faint on the spot.
Bronya was very alert. She glanced behind her with the corner of her eyes, squatted down, and put her ear close to the sound.
"There are about 20 people 100 meters behind us... hide first."
Bronya hid in the shadows, and those who came to support raised their guns. The captain rushed to the unconscious person to check the situation.
"He's not dead, just knocked unconscious. Did the surveillance camera see the intruder?"
"Report, all surveillance has failed, and the technical department is currently working hard to repair it!"
"How long will it take?"
"this..."
"Answer directly! Stop dithering!"
"Report! Unless the other party voluntarily gives up, the surveillance cannot be repaired with the ability of the technical department alone!"
The captain pressed his temple, feeling a little overwhelmed, and asked again: "Do the invaders have a team? We can't even catch them!"
"This... I heard from the technical department that the other party seems to have only one person..."
The captain was furious: "Do you think I'm a child? How can one person have such high anti-reconnaissance and infiltration capabilities, and can hack all the surveillance equipment at the same time? The technical department is helpless?"
"Report! I don't know, but based on the information I know so far, it's true! The other party has no intention of killing anyone and doesn't want to make things worse!"
The captain cursed: "Nonsense! If the other party really killed people, the high-ranking officials of Nagazora City would have sent people to block this area. Even if they killed ten thousand people by mistake, they would not let them go!"
"Report! The other party may just want to steal some top-secret information!"
The captain's face was tense, his eyebrows seemed to be on fire: "Isn't this more serious? If the top-secret information is stolen, we will be punished! Everyone, carpet search, we must find the intruder!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Bronya, who was hiding in the dark, didn't care. She was already familiar with invasions.
Bronya was not interested in the top-secret information the guard told her. She just wanted to use the population information recorded in the Nagazora City registry to find Akito.
"But a 14-year-old's body is still too immature to fully exert its power. In that case..."
A white light suddenly appeared, and the petite figure began to become plump, and the hair gradually lengthened...
Her silver-gray hair was tied up in a cute high ponytail, revealing her delicate skin under her snow-white neck. It was crystal clear, like a freshly peeled egg, white with a hint of pink.
(TL: Henshin!)
Her exquisite body was wrapped in a black and white long skirt, and the hem of the skirt was embroidered with blooming datura flowers, fluttering in the wind. Her beautiful eyes were full of brilliance.
"Acting captain of the second team, reporting in."
Bronya's voice became mature and light, and her whole body exuded confidence and enthusiasm.
Like a ghost, Bronya moved nimbly through the heavily guarded building without being discovered by anyone.
Because everyone who found out fainted...
The voices within the guard line were already in a mess.
Sometimes there are people in the A-N area, and sometimes there are people in the B-N area...
At the same time, everyone was busy and anxiously defending themselves.
The instigator of all this arrived at her destination safely without even a drop of sweat on her forehead.
Bronya smiled faintly: "Sure enough, this body is more comfortable. If he saw it, emmm... According to the timeline, Akito should still be in high school now, and he has no memory of me..."
"Hmmm..." Bronya couldn't help herself when she thought of Akito.
Even though the two have been together for so long, they will still be very attached to each other and wish they could stick to each other for the rest of their lives.
"That's good. It's a good opportunity for me to learn about your past, Akito."
Bronya walked straight ahead.
A group of people dressed in black blocked her way: "Stop! Who are you? Are you..."
Before the other party could finish their words, a robot appeared out of nowhere and beat them up, knocking them unconscious.
"Project Bunny 19C, great job," Bronya praised calmly.
Then she hacked into the system, but the so-called three-level password was no match for Bronya.
Bronya locked onto the keyword "Akito," and the system quickly gave the corresponding information.
On the screen, glowing blue light, a few lines of key information, and Akito's handsome identity photo appeared.
Akito, gender: male. Age: 17.
He is currently a sophomore at Chiba Academy in the center of Nagazora City. Two years ago, he won the top spot in the 2012 Nagazora City High School Entrance Examination.
He has won the first prize in the National Piano Competition, the first prize in the Nagazora City Olympic Competition, the first prize in the International Painting Competition, the special prize in the International Biology Olympiad, the rookie award in the Oriental Swordsmanship Exchange, the first prize in the International Pastry Competition, the first prize in the FIA European F3 Championship...
Bronya's eyelids twitched wildly. She never thought that her boyfriend was so talented.
Usually, Akito just helped her fix bugs, write code, make tea, cook, etc...
However, Akito's abilities, whether it was making games or brewing tea, had never disappointed Bronya.
Now it seems like a complete overkill.
Bronya kept pulling down, and finally pulled Akito's honors to the bottom. There were hundreds of awards of all sizes and very valuable. Is this still a human being?
Bronya thought that she was already outstanding at the age of 14 because she was proficient in a series of military skills such as killing, invading, sniping, and hacking.
"Aki, you are really low-key..."
