As Y/n patiently waited outside the room for Seele to attend to the girl, a sudden thud broke the silence, sending a jolt of anticipation through him. With heightened senses, his heart raced as he braced himself for what might come next. Harnessing his telekinetic powers, he concentrated, exerting just enough force to swing the door open without physical contact, cautious of the potential havoc his abilities could wreak.

As Y/n entered the room, his eyes immediately fell upon the girl, who was clutching onto Seele's hand with a desperate grip, as if seeking refuge from an unseen threat. Before he could spring into action, a menacing voice cut through the air like a sharp blade, freezing him in his tracks.

Cocolia: Release her if you know what's good for you.

As the girl released her grip on Seele's hand, her fingers trembling with a mixture of fear and uncertainty, Y/N couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. His shoulders relaxed ever so slightly as he watched Seele cautiously back away from the girl, who was grabbing onto her hand behind Cocolia.

Y/N's voice was tinged with regret as he addressed Cocolia, his expression filled with genuine remorse.

Y/N: I'm sorry, Matushka, I let my guard down

Cocolia: It's alright it happen to all of us Y/N,Now, little sniper, what's your name?

As cocolia gaze upon the girl that woke up , her voice barely a whisper as she hesitantly uttered her name.

Girl: B..bronya

Cocolia: Well, I have horrible news for you, Bronya. As you can see with your own two eyes, I have ordered Y/n to neutralize your squad, who was sent to assassinate me.

Bronya's expression remained impassive, though a flicker of concern danced behind her steely facade. She knew the danger her squad faced in their mission, but hearing it confirmed by Cocolia sent a shiver down her spine.

Bronya: Then why take me alive as a prisoner? Why won't you kill me?

Cocolia's voice cut through the tension like a gentle breeze, her words carrying a tone of sincerity and warmth. Bronya's eyes widened in surprise, her initial apprehension giving way to a sense of relief.

Cocolia: Well, this might surprise you, but I don't kill kids.

Bronya's voice trembled with a mix of defiance and uncertainty as she confronted Cocolia, her eyes flashing with a hint of desperation.

Bronya: Are you going to become my master now? Am I your new slave?

Cocolia's smile was disarming, her tone surprisingly gentle despite the gravity of the situation. She regarded Bronya with a mix of curiosity and concern, her eyes searching for understanding.

Cocolia: Slave? What nonsense is that? I'll need to meet the people who trained you and told you to shoot me. They must be taught a lesson.You are no longer a slave, Bronya. From now on, I'll be your Matushka*.

Bronya's brows furrowed in confusion as she glanced up at Cocolia, her voice tinged with curiosity.

Bronya: Matushka, what does that mean

Cocolia's smile widened, a glimmer of warmth dancing in her eyes as she reached out to gently tousle Bronya's hair.

Cocolia: It means someone who cares and loves the children, a figure of a mother.

Bronya's eyes sparkled with understanding as the weight of the word settled in her heart. For the first time in a long while, she felt a sense of belonging, of being cherished and protected.

Bronya: Matushka...

Cocolia's eyes softened with affection as she gazed upon Bronya, her voice tender as she gestured towards the two figures standing nearby.
