Jarilo-VI, the Great Mine of the Lower District.
Passing through guardrails pieced together from scrap metal and across ground stained with coal cinders, Hiroshi arrived at the scene.
A group of Wanderers armed with long-handled axes were in a standoff with a group of miners holding pickaxes.
The atmosphere between the two sides was tense, with sparks seemingly flying as their eyes met, as if a great battle would break out at any second.
"Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit! Since you won't appreciate our kindness, don't blame us for being impolite!"
"Humph! The Geomarrow belongs to us. You hooligans and bandits can forget about getting your hands on it!"
As those words fell, both sides took a step forward.
"Everyone... please calm down! Don't hurt each other!"
A little girl with pink eyes, shoulder-length silver hair, wearing a red coat that revealed her fair thighs, stood with her bare feet on the ground;
She was looking at everything with a face full of anxiety and helplessness.
Although she was accompanied by a blue robot, its power was still too meager to stop the battle between these groups.
"Hey! I say... you want to forcibly seize the fruits of someone else's hard work? That's not very nice..."
Hearing this, the clashing miners, the Wanderers, and Clara all looked toward the source of the voice;
They saw a handsome youth with ear-length black hair and a hint of childishness, walking toward them at an unhurried pace.
His black and white high-tech trench coat was free of any dust;
In such a filthy environment, he was like a lotus flower emerging unsullied from the mud, instantly catching everyone's eye.
What a handsome big brother, and he smells so nice, not like the people here at all... Gazing at Hiroshi as he passed by her, Clara felt a heartfelt admiration, her eyes following him closely.
Hmm? Not from Wildfire, and he couldn't be an official from above, which had been sealed off long ago.
With this thought, the Wanderers breathed a sigh of relief, while the miners sighed in disappointment.
"Now, could I please ask you to leave and not disturb the miners' work?"
Hiroshi's voice was gentle, yet it carried an unquestionable tone.
"Who do you think you are? You're just a brat who's still wet behind the ears!"
"Exactly, go back and drink your milk. Have you ever even seen an axe this big?"
Ignoring their mockery, Hiroshi directly summoned the blade of the god of war, and with a brilliant golden glow, he tapped it lightly on the ground;
Instantly, the Wanderers were swept into the air by the erupting shockwave, falling back down dazed and disoriented.
For a moment, the ground shook and the mountains swayed as countless golden Svarog Stones tumbled from the mountain walls; even the miners behind him couldn't help but stumble.
"Wha... what's going on? Is it an earthquake!"
"Was that... the commotion that boy just caused? Even Seele, the strongest in Wildfire, couldn't possibly do that..."
Clara clasped her small hands excitedly under her chin, her pale pink eyes sparkling like stars.
Big brother is so amazing! Now... those Wanderers probably won't dare to cause trouble anymore, right?
"Warning! Warning! Danger exceeds threshold. Protecting Clara. Activating active defense mode."
Just then, the robot beside her emitted a series of cold, stern alarms, as if it would attack Hiroshi at any second.
"Perkins, stop! Big brother is a good person!"
"Command received. Active defense mode deactivated."
Hearing Clara's words, the robot stopped its impending attack.
The Wanderers, who had fallen head over heels, stood up disheveled. Their eyes were now full of dread as they looked at Hiroshi, with no trace of their previous disdain.
Even if they were fools, they knew that if Hiroshi wanted to, he could easily crush them into meat paste.
"Alright, now are you going home, or should I send you to your maker?"
"Hiss..."
Hiroshi's threatening words scared them into subconsciously taking two steps back.
"You... you just wait, we won't let this go!"
After throwing out a parting threat, the Wanderers fled the scene as fast as stray dogs.
"Tch, talking tough but running so fast. They're probably going back to change their pants."
"Exactly, a bunch of cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong!"
Watching their fleeing figures, the miners mocked them one after another before surrounding Hiroshi.
"Child, thank you. If it weren't for you, many of us would have been injured."
"I wonder where you're from, child? Your skills are truly incredible."
"In my opinion, only Lord Gepard, the Captain of the Silvermane Guards who protects the entire Upper District, could compare."
Facing the miners' praise, Hiroshi felt a bit embarrassed.
"It... it was nothing, just a small effort."
"I came here from elsewhere; I'm not from this planet."
"So big brother is from another world?"
Hearing this news, Clara's curiosity about him grew even more.
After a while, the miners departed, and she timidly walked up to him to say hello.
"Thank you so much, big brother. Thanks to you, they didn't start fighting, otherwise... I wouldn't have known what to do..."
Hiroshi's eyes lit up, instantly captivated by Clara's clear, watery light-colored eyes and her obedient, cute face.
I didn't notice from a distance, but Clara is really so cute! I really want to hug her... "It's nothing. By the way, little sister, why aren't you wearing shoes? Isn't it cold stepping on the ground?"
"I'm... not used to them, because I'll twist my ankles..."
Clara responded shyly.
"So... that's how it is..."
Hiroshi slowly crouched down, gently took her ankles, and tucked them into his embrace, trying to help her warm up this way.
The touch was cold and delicate, like a cream popsicle.
Hmm... I'll use the Space Station's equipment to custom-make a pair for her later.
Big brother's embrace... is so warm... A faint blush appeared on Clara's small face, and her gaze naturally drifted downward.
Seeming to feel the atmosphere was a bit awkward, she took the initiative to bring up a topic to divert attention.
"Big brother just said you're from another world. So, is there a reason you've come here?"
Clara's voice was soft and gentle, like a little quail.
"Well, it's because this world has been so corrupted by the 'Stellaron' that it's on the verge of falling apart."
"I've come here to destroy it. Do you have any clues, Clara?"
"Mr. Svarog might know, but he's never liked communicating with people..."
Clara answered honestly.
"In his calculations, the disaster of Jarilo-VI is inevitable; everyone hiding underground can at least survive for a bit longer."
"If that's the case, why not have him re-evaluate based on my arrival? This shouldn't have been included in his previous calculations, right?"
"Eh!?"
Hearing this, Clara was momentarily stunned and looked at him in surprise.
"But..."
Hiroshi placed his hands gently on her shoulders and persuaded her with a serious face.
"Please, Clara, give this world a chance."
"Then... alright..."
Under his persuasion, Clara finally agreed.
