Chapter 247

"You should know what she said at the Inquisition, right?"

"Hi-Fyūmaru, how much courage does that take?"

"That's true," Hi-Fyūmaru shrugged. "I don't know either."

"In short, I think I might have gone a bit too far."

"It's obvious that Kallen doesn't want to."

"And everyone saw it."

"It's not good."

"So that means it's okay to do it secretly?" Yae Sakura countered.

"I don't know, don't ask me!" Hi-Fyūmaru suddenly realized she seemed to be leading Yae Sakura down some unknown path. She immediately said, "I think you'd better not do this."

"After all, you just made that promise."

"I promise to do the same thing as before."

"Isn't that annoying?"

After saying Hi-Fyūmaru quickly made his escape.

The remaining few sensed something was amiss and fled with Hi-Fyūmaru. After all, what if Yae Sakura did something to displease the Doctor?

They don't want to be blamed for nothing!

Watching those people leave.

Yae Sakura shook her head.

The differences in eras made it difficult for her to understand some of the thoughts of people in this time. This included actions like these; shouldn't they be acting in concert?

Why did they just leave like that?

Is betraying your teammates common sense in this day and age?

That's really weird.

Yae Sakura couldn't keep up with the group and quickly got lost in this completely unfamiliar place, not knowing which way to go.

I don't know how long we wandered around.

Yae Sakura finally decided that Mei should come out.

I might never be able to leave this strange place in my lifetime.

"Oh?"

Just then, a strangely familiar voice rang out beside Yae Sakura.

"Yae Sakura".

The voice seemed to carry a hint of mockery as it said, "I never expected you to be here, to have come to the Hyperion and become Valkyrie."

"Is this an arrangement of fate or a cruel joke of reality?"

I heard this sound.

Yae Sakura finally stopped and turned around to look at the person who had spoken to her.

"Your name seems to be..." Yae Sakura thought for a moment before remembering who this person was.

"Otto Apocalypse, perhaps?"

Yae Sakura certainly wouldn't forget this man. Theoretically, he was Kallen's fiancé, the man who made weapons and armor for Kallen.

Yae Sakura probably didn't know much about this man.

But the only one who knows is this man.

They are unlikely to be friends.

"But we're unlikely to be enemies either." Otto maintained his distance from Yae Sakura, but spoke politely, "Miss Yae Sakura."

"Welcome to Schicksal, to the Hyperion."

"Let me reintroduce myself," Otto said with a slight bow. "Archbishop of Schicksal, the current true power holder of Schicksal, and also the Hyperion's superior."

"Of course, if you join Hyperion, I will be your superior."

"Otto Apocalypse".

Yae Sakura stared blankly at Otto as he introduced himself.

Even when Otto was showing goodwill, Yae Sakura didn't sense much of it.

There was conflict between her and Otto, and there wasn't.

She and Otto are rivals for Kallen's heart, but who will ultimately win her affections? That depends on their abilities! And this guy was also involved in Kallen's death.

However, Kallen's death was also related to her.

Furthermore, this guy's original intention was not to kill Kallen, but to save her.

However, the script did not go as he had envisioned.

So, Yae Sakura and Otto... they have some conflict, but they also don't.

In short Yae Sakura didn't think Otto would come looking for her for no reason.

"If you have something to say," Yae Sakura said, "You can just say it directly, there's no need to beat around the bush."

"I have something to discuss with Yae Sakura," Otto said.

"What is it?" Yae Sakura looked at Otto; he probably wouldn't lie. Of course, there was no need to lie, so she considered for a moment and said, "Okay, what is it?"

"It's about Kallen, of course."

Otto said, "Of course, you don't need to be so nervous."

"I don't feel nervous at all," Yae Sakura said. "Of course, there's no need to be nervous."

"If you have anything to say, please just say it."

Yae Sakura didn't harbor any particular ill intentions, but she still needed to be careful regarding Kallen. Yae Sakura didn't want to provoke Kallen any further.

"Kallen," Otto said, "You should know the situation now, right?"

"Yes," Yae Sakura said, "Of course, it will be removed."

"So?" Otto asked, "You don't want Kallen to come back?"

What do you mean by that?

Yae Sakura frowned slightly and asked.

Yae Sakura was certainly aware of Kallen's current situation.

But what does Otto mean by asking Kallen to come back?

"Soul."

Otto said, "Kallen's soul is not the same as yours; Kallen's soul is incomplete. So, although Kallen can dominate, just like you transformed from Mei into Yae Sakura."

"But it can't be done in the ceremony, even if one's appearance is transformed into Kallen's."

"They are also similar in personality."

"But Li Pu still dominates her consciousness."

"So?" Yae Sakura asked, "What do you mean by 'coming back'?"

"Make Kallen's soul whole again," Otto said. "Completely whole, just like you. That way, Kallen will be back."

"Oh." Yae Sakura roughly understood.

"Then—" she suddenly asked, "Where is Li Pu? Where is Li Pu's soul?"

Yae Sakura, of course, knew what was going to happen, just as she was about to possess Mei's body and appear in her own form, with her own will as the dominant force.

What about Mei's will?

Mei's will was marginalized and fell into slumber.

However, there is a premise here that Mei's will and her own will were agreed upon, so there is no contradiction.

Can Kallen's will and Li Pu's will reach an agreement?

Yae Sakura doesn't know.

But it's clear that Otto had no intention of letting Kallen and Li Pu's wills discuss anything; his so-called return...

"You're planning to exclude Li Pu's will, aren't you?" Yae Sakura asked.

"Of course not," Otto shook his head and said, "That's not the case."

"You're overthinking it. Yae Sakura, you're not like Li Pu."

"Li Pu's previous incarnation was Kallen."

"I know," Yae Sakura said, "But I also know that souls can shatter and become full, so I know even more that Li Pu is Li Pu. It's just that he has a fragment of Kallen's soul."

"However, relatively speaking, the souls within his body are more complete and stronger."

"Compared to the fragmented pieces of others, this soul can almost be seen as a complete individual."

"But even if it is complete, it is only a relatively complete fragment."

"Do you think," Yae Sakura countered, "Kallen would use such a method—sacrificing others—to return to this world?"

"Besides, she's Mei's mother."

"What do you think if I did that?"

How am I supposed to explain this to Mei?

Chapter 271 Panic is brewing

"It's a strange feeling."

In his room, MEI, who was playing computer games, pushed up his glasses.

The game MEI plays is "Kallen Fantasy".

Ever since this game appeared on the market, a series of things have been happening non-stop. This made MEI feel that the situation seemed a little strange.

After playing "Kallen Fantasy", I entered a strange dream.

Theresa's Stigmata were activated after playing "Kallen Fantasy".

Meanwhile, in Changkong City, someone 'accidentally' unearthed a box that sealed Yae Sakura and Hi-Fyūmaru. This almost triggered a Honkai.

Of course, she eventually resolved the matter peacefully.

Therefore, nothing has happened in Changkong City yet.

But all of this just doesn't seem so natural.

It's as if there's a hidden force pushing all of this toward a predetermined outcome.

So who is the mastermind behind this?

Is it Otto?

MEI certainly considered the possibility that Otto might be the mastermind behind this.

But after thinking about it carefully, I rejected that idea.

Is it Otto?

What was the significance of Otto doing this?

Reviving Kallen? If reviving Kallen requires the use of the Demon in the Box, Otto himself would be eager to break the seal on the Demon in the Box.

There was no need to wait until now.

Did Otto have any other intentions?

"Hmm..." MEI put down the game controller in her hand.

"Otto's idea..."
