The group then arrived at a scenic spot within the St. Freya Academy and began a 'friendly' afternoon tea.

However, the moment they took their first sip of tea, Bai Ge, Otto, and Welt's expressions changed.

"It shouldn't have been given to Theresa to prepare."

"Oh, my dear granddaughter."

"Cough cough! I thought it was green tea."

It's not green tea, it's green bitter melon juice.

Although bitter melon juice is healthy, they couldn't think of anyone else in the world who liked to drink it besides Theresa. After taking that unexpected sip, all three of them turned blue.

In a way, Theresa should be proud too.

"If you two don't mind, please let Rita prepare the tea and refreshments. It will be ready soon."

At this moment, Rita, being the perfect maid, spoke up in time, thus saving the 'afternoon tea' from disaster.

She truly lived up to her title as the strongest maid in the Honkai Impact 3rd. In less than 20 minutes, the table was once again set with red tea and snacks. Bai thought to himself that she was indeed the owner of the refrigerator.

"Mmm, it smells so good~ As expected of Schicksal S-class maid, it's a shame that such skills are just someone's black gloves."

Bai Ge took a light sniff and exclaimed in admiration.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Bai Ge. But you really are completely unprepared. Aren't you worried that Rita might have something to hide..."

"I believe that as a perfect maid, Miss Rita has enough self-discipline to not do something that would bring shame to the name of a maid, such as putting computer parts in black tea."

"... Please, please let me pour you another cup. The temperature of the tea in your cup isn't quite right."

Rita's body stiffened for a moment, and she almost lost her perfect smile, awkwardly pouring Bai another cup of black tea.

Bai Ge's lips twitched in exasperation.

I thought to myself, "Rita, you actually ordered computer parts! Although I, the Herrscher of Life and Death, am not afraid of any poison, I, Bai, will still remember this grudge!"

"Haha~ This is really interesting."

Otto clapped his hands and laughed heartily, looking at Rita's embarrassed expression... This guy even watches his own subordinates' antics; he might end up having a miserable life on the other film set.

"Now it's time to get to the point. Bai Ge, I've been wanting to meet you for a long time. I've always been very curious about you, and your amazing performance yesterday really impressed me."

"Bishop Otto, I don't think it's a good habit to peep without permission. No matter how good-looking you are, it's useless if you have this habit."

"Ah, how can fighting Honkai be called spying? I was just keeping track of the progress of the Judgment-Class Honkai Beast's capture and was ready to provide support at any time."

Otto put on an innocent expression.

"Oh? The support you're talking about is launching a bunch of Honkai Energy Fission Bomb from a distance to wipe us all out?"

Bai Ge replied, "I don't believe you for a second."

Green Tor, you bastard, you're really bad.

However, even if he did that, Bai Ge wouldn't fall for the same trick a second time.

"How could that be? How could I do something so vicious? Bai Ge, have you misunderstood me? We really need to have a good talk."

"If you can, please speak plainly, Bishop Otto. If you keep beating around the bush, I'm getting sleepy."

"Um, okay, okay, I'm just a little curious about why you ended up on the battlefield against Chi You. Well, to be precise, why you're fighting alongside Anti-Entropy... even though we, the Schicksal side, are the stronger ones, aren't we?"

Otto narrowed his eyes and asked.

"In the end, we're still going in circles. Oh well, the reason I went to fight Chi You was because of Mr. Welt's invitation. As everyone knows, he used to be a teacher at our St. Freya Academy. Students can go to their teachers when they have problems, and teachers can go to their students when they have problems."

Bai Ge shrugged and said.

"Besides, even if the organizations are different, aren't they all fighting against the Honkai for humanity? As a male Valkyrie who fights to protect all that is good, isn't it my duty to do this as well?"

What a reasonable explanation! Even Otto couldn't find fault with it, and Durandal next to him even showed an approving expression.

For this simple, innocent, and extremely mission-driven Golden Goose, she fully agreed with what Bai Ge said: even though they belonged to different organizations, everyone was fighting against the Honkai.

In Durandal's opinion, this was truly a profound and righteous act, and if possible, she would like to have a friendly exchange of martial arts skills with Bai Ge.

"That makes sense, but if that's the case, if I also became a teacher at the St. Freya Academy, would I be able to get help from Bai Ge in the future, just like the Herrscher of Reason?"

"It depends on the score you give me. If it's just passing, I won't help. Good moral support, excellent verbal support, and I might consider helping out if it's a perfect score... The same goes for failing, but I can't say who I'll help."

"Haha, Bai Ge is such an interesting person. It seems I really need to consider this matter."

Upon hearing this, Otto burst out laughing, though it was unclear how much of it was genuine laughter.

However, Bai Ge chuckled lightly and said something that was hard to decipher.

"Okay, then I'll recommend a subject to Bishop Otto that will definitely suit you."

"Oh? Please tell me, is it related to biology?"

"Of course not. I suggest you teach the course on morality and character after you become a teacher. After all, Otto Apocalypse himself is an excellent teaching material... a negative example."

"Pfft!"

Welt immediately gave a thumbs up to these words, inwardly shouting "Sparrow eats!" Even Otto himself, after a moment of surprise, strongly agreed with Bai Ge's words.

Yes, there is simply no better negative example than him. Otto Apocalypse is a collection of sins and desires. He knows virtue but does not abide by it, and he knows ethics but tramples on them.

Everything he has done so far, whether good or evil, is ultimately to fulfill his selfish desires. He never repents and will never stop.

"Perhaps I should have talked to you sooner, Bai Ge. It's been so long since anyone dared to talk to me like that. You're really interesting."

"Thank you~ I just hope that you don't take the sarcasm as praise. After all, considering what you did to my Kiana, it wouldn't be too much for me to give you a Heavenly Fire Unleashed right now."

"No, let's forget about that. Sigh~ I never expected my old friend to resign from Schicksal. Did you persuade him to?"

"Of course, but I just don't want Fu Hua to work under such a heartless boss. As for Miss Rita and Miss Durandal, how about we switch over here? The benefits at the St. Freya Academy are excellent."

Bai Ge extended an invitation to the two S-Rank Valkyrie beside him, but Rita and Durandal both shook their heads with wry smiles.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Bai Ge, but Rita has no plans to leave Schicksal at the moment."

"Really? That's a real shame. If you're willing to come, I'll try to get Theresa for you, how about that?"

"... I... I refuse,"

The conditions offered by Bai were so attractive that Rita hesitated for a moment. The idea of a legally grown-up loli who wouldn't grow up for decades was a devastating blow to this loli-loving maid.

"What about Durandal? If you come, I can arrange for you to have a single room."

"I'm sorry, but I think I'll pass."

"The dorm is full of cats, you really don't want them?"

"No, no..."

Durandal's throat moved slightly; this time, her refusal wasn't as decisive or loud as before.

Bai Ge thought to himself that the two of them were indeed S-Rank Valkyrie, their willpower was truly strong, and they could even resist the temptations of the loli and the Cat Anchor.

While Otto remained outwardly calm, he was actually quite inwardly horrified.

(It's amazing that he managed to sway Rita and Durandal with just two sentences. Does this young man know them too well? How does he know Rita Durandal? He's becoming more and more mysterious.)

"Bai Ge, isn't it a bit impolite of Valkyrie Schicksal front of me, the bishop?"

Moreover, Otto was genuinely worried that if Bai Ge continued talking, his two S-Rank Valkyrie might actually be tempted to switch sides and join his.

After all, even the honest Fu Hua switched sides, so Rita and the like are not a big problem. After all, her combat power is just so-so. Although she is an S-class, she is just a useful tool in his eyes.

But if Durandal were to be lured away by this person... Otto would really lose all his composure, considering that this silly goose was an SSSR he spent hundreds of years trying to obtain!

"Hehe~ Politeness depends on the person."

Bai Ge sneered.

Otto, you're not even human, why should I be polite to you? To be honest, I'm already being very polite by calmly confronting you and trying to poach your partner instead of directly attacking you with fire.

"Okay, it seems that Bai Ge really does dislike me. Let's get back to the topic."

Otto shrugged and pulled out a terminal from his pocket. He placed it on the tea table and tapped it twice. A 3D virtual projection appeared, recording the battle between Bai Ge and Chi You.

Otto pointed to the passage to the Sea of Quantum that Bai Ge had opened on the projection and asked in a curious yet dangerous tone.

"Bai Ge, could you please explain what this ability of yours is?"

"Oh? The Archbishop of Schicksal wouldn't be so blind as to not see that Li Se is asking a question he already knows the answer to."

"..."

Welt glanced at the two men, tightening his grip on his teacup slightly, clearly sensing the atmosphere had become tense.

First update. Please give me flowers, votes, and tips.

"It's truly astonishing that you possess the ability to traverse the Sea of Quantum. As far as I know, there are only three ways in the world to enter the Sea of Quantum from the Prime World. How did you manage to do it?"

Otto's eyes were fixed on Bai Ge, his gaze sharp as if he wanted to see right through him. This was the kind of look that came from a bastard who had been doing human experiments for years, the kind that wanted to dissect a human body.

Bai Ge instinctively felt disgusted. In an instant, she raised her hand, picked up a cake fork from the table, and held it to Otto's eyes in less than a fraction of a second.

"If you look at me like that again, I'll poke your glasses out, Otto Apocalypse. I'm not some humanoid experimental subject in your incubation chamber, understand?"

"Your Majesty Bishop!"

"Put down your fork!"
