Chapter 29: Bronya's Room

"W-what is this... " Glynne was overwhelmed.

Right after dinner, Bronya invited him to her room to talk. Of course he was quite shocked about it but he tried his best to not show it on his face.

However he wasn't prepared when he entered the room. His face poker face continue to twitch, a huge sweat is running down his forehead.

Bronya's room was, let just say, very typical to a girl of her age. Yep, it look normal, but that is if one disregard the huge amount of similar toy plushies. The characters look like a rabbit with big eyes, huge smile, and ribbon-like ear. Glynne can see different color and sizes of such toy.

"Fufu, as expected the Homu's are cute." Bronya said while pumping her chest.

Glynne smiled wryly, she seems to be misunderstanding his shock as being overwhelmed by the cuteness.

In truth, he just don't understand the aesthetic. Well, it's maybe just a boy thing though. If Glynne was asked what would he decorate his room with, he might put a lot of guns in.

"Come, sit" Bronya invited as she patted the lap of a huge yellow Homu toy. Glynne can't really say anything so he just followed through.

As soon as he sat down, Bronya got near him. Her silver eyes seems to be observing him. "Uhm Bronya, aren't you a bit too close?" he asked.

Bronya closed her eyes and sat down besides him. "Bronya has been curios about Raz ever since." she said as she grabbed his arm and proceeded to seemingly examine it.

Glynne was feeling awkward. Despite her basically saying that they met before, he still can't remember anything about her. He told her this as Bronya look at him in an understanding manner.

"It is understandable, Raz was always asleep." She said, now feeling his chest area. "Bronya always miss the chance to met you when you're awake."

"If that was the case then that explains why you knew me while I don't." Glynne scratches the back of his head. "By the way, I would really appreciate if you wouldn't remove my shirt."

"Request denied." Bronya said as she was trying to pull up his clothes. Glynne was trying his best to struggle but it seems like she won't be giving up. "Permission to examine you body. "

"Permission denied!" Glynne quickly replied as it is being to escalate into a wrestling. "Besides you're still connected to Mother, right? Like hell I would expose myself to her again!"

"Don't worry, Bronya is doing this for Bronya's personal curiosity." Bronya reassured as they twist and roll on the floor. "Bronya promise that Bronya would not say it to anyone."

"No is still no!" Glynne denied as he begun to panic when he heard a soft tearing sound. Leaving him with no choice, he quickly push down Bronya and lock her arms on the floor. Both of them are breathing heavily, seemingly tired of the wrestling match they did earlier.

Perhaps remembering what happened this afternoon, Bronya face begun to blush. Glynne was doing his best to hold it back but it was for a naught as his face has a faint red color.

"Y-you... " Glynne was quickly startled by a chilly voice. He turn his face towards the door to see a white-haired girl at the entrance.

Kiana's room was just next door. She heard some commotion going on the other side so she came to check it out. When she opened the door, she didn't expect to see Glynne pushing down Bronya. It doesn't help either that both of them are breathing heavily and blushing. "W-what do you think you're doing!"

"W-wait I can explain!" Glynne quickly defended, flustered as Kiana lunged at him. He quickly let go of Bronya and dodge the incoming flying kick. He watched the girl crashing on the huge pile of Homu plushies. He breath a sign of relief as the girl seems to be unhurt.

"Why did you dodge it?!" Kiana shouted right after she recovered.

"Of course I would! You're kick hurts!" Glynne replied back. He remembers their first duel as he messages his stomach from the phantom pain.

Ah, this isn't the time for that — Glynne realized something as he quickly fleed the room.

Kiana was shocked by his sudden actions, it was already too late when she realized what he has done. "W-wait, Come back!" she shouted as she begun chasing Glynne.

"I believe you two owe me an explanation." Theresa reprimanded  at the two who are sitting in seiza position. She was tapping her foot, irritated at them for disrupting the dorm.

"I saw Glynne assaulting Bronya!" Kiana declared. The boy was sweating bullets as he was receiving intense glare form the female in the room.

"Heh..., is this true Glynne?" Despite Theresa smiling, he can can feel the overwhelming killing intent from her. The hair on his body can't stop from standing up. Cold sweat are running down on his back and his finger can't stop trembling. Women are much more scary than any honkai beast.

"W-wait, i-it's a misunderstanding!" Glynne desperately waves his hands as he tries to explain himself.  "I had no other choice! Bronya wanted to remove my shirt so I had to push her arms down!"

"You know..." Glynne flinched from the cold voice of the little woman in front of him. Her glare became much more intense. "If you are trying to lie you way out, you should find a better excuse."

"It's the truth." Everyone gasped at the declaration of the new arrival. Bronya was seen peeking her head out from the living door frame. "It's Bronya's fault, Bronya apologizes." she said as she moves closer to Glynne and bows.

"N-no, its also partly my fault!" Glynne was flustered as he grabbed Bronya on the shoulder and tried to force her to stand up. "Look, I admit that there are better ways I should've done to stop you."

"Mhn" Bronya shakes her head. "Bronya is still sorry for getting excited."

"...." Glynne was silent for a moment. He is trying his best not to misunderstand what she just said.

"As an apology, Bronya will grant you one wish you like." And yet, Bronya kept adding fuel to the flame.

At a time like this, he tries to recall the knowledge pass down by his old mentor. "If a girl show signs, go ahead and pushed her down."

Like hell I'll do that you damn trashy old man!! — Glynne shouted inside his head.

Glynne's silence is making Bronya anxious, despite not really showing it on her face. He took a deep breath to calm down his nerves.

"Then how about this," Glynne raises his index finger and pointed it at Bronya. He remembered something the receptionist said when they entered the weapon development building. "If you have a free time, I appreciate you helping me in customizing my weapon."

"Mn!" Bronya nodded as she showed a rare smile. Glynne was quite taken aback, he never would have thought that he would hit the mark.

"Ouch!" Glynne yelped as someone pinched his arm. He look over to his side to see Kiana pouting. "Why did you do that for?!"

"Hmph, nothing!" Kiana flicked her hair as she walked out of the room. Glynne just standing there, stupefied at the girl's action.

"Oh my, this is troubling... " Theresa put a hand on her chin. She don't know what to make out of the unfolded scene that looks like it came from a TV drama.
