What Do You Mean She's One Year Old?

But unfortunately, as punishment from the system, although he was deeply unwilling, his body still began moving on its own.

Otto picked up the thread. "Distinguished guests, thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the wedding of Miss Kallen and Miss Yae Sakura."

(Damn it, my body isn't under my control.)

"May I ask Miss Kallen, are you willing to take Miss Yae as your wife?" (No, Kallen, hurry up and say no!)

"I do."

(No...!)

"Then, Miss Yae Sakura, are you willing to marry Miss Kallen?" (That damned Pink Fox, stay away from Kallen...)

"I do."

(You Pink Fox, evil by nature! I'll personally...)

"Then please exchange rings."

Kallen and Sakura exchanged rings.

"These two rings symbolize your eternal and unchanging love. May your marriage be filled with happiness and joy!"

(Pink Fox! Wait, according to the wedding procedure, next is...)

"Now, please exchange your vows with a kiss."

(No, anything but this, please!)

Gradually, in Otto's eyes, the distance between the two grew smaller and smaller until they overlapped.

(No!!!!!!)

Otto finally could not hold on any longer. His consciousness began to fade. Before it vanished entirely, the last things he saw were Kallen's back, the smugness in Sakura's eyes, and the strand of saliva between their lips...

[Punishment ended]

Back in his office, Otto immediately regained his senses.

"Bishop, are you all right?"

Amber, who had been handling documents nearby, immediately came over to ask after Otto when she saw him return.

"I'm fine, Amber." Otto replied to her concern, "That punishment actually made me immerse myself in it against my will."

He had not realized it during the wedding, but the moment he returned, he understood. He had clearly known it was only a punishment, yet he had still immersed himself in it involuntarily, as if...

Had his consciousness been affected? It could not only forcibly control his body, but also manipulate his mind?

Based on the records of the Previous Civilization, it was somewhat like the authority of the Herrscher of Reason. But it was even more powerful. Otto was not boasting—so as to prevent unforeseen complications in his plan, his Soul Steel Body had been reinforced against the Herrscher of Reason's authority. (Though he had never expected that she would not use her authority at all and would instead physically grind his face into the ground.) Yet when the Livestream Room affected him, he had not noticed a thing.

Therefore, Otto dared to conclude that this system was definitely not the work of some so-called Honkai God. After all, if even his Soul Steel Body could not resist it, there were very few people in the entire world who could.

It was not just him. The leaders of the other major factions had noticed the same thing. Though none of them took any action, they silently raised the Livestream Room's threat level by several ranks.

[System: Then the quick-answer round will continue.]

[Congratulations to Raven for answering first.]

[Raven: Huh? It's actually me?]

[Theresa: Raven... I've heard that name before.]

[Bronya: Principal, Raven appears to be the alias of a very famous mercenary.]

[Theresa: I see. But Bronya, how did you know that?]

[Bronya: Bronya merely happened to see it.]

Bronya had naturally not merely happened upon information about Raven. As the former assassin known as the Ural Silver Wolf, Bronya had paid attention to the mercenary Raven. Though Bronya was no longer an assassin, she still occasionally kept an eye on news from the dark web.

[System: Then, Miss Raven, please answer the question.]

[Raven: I choose B, Stelle.]

[Congratulations, Raven answered correctly.]

[The answer explanation will now be revealed.]

Lumine: A mysterious... "young girl" who had slept for five hundred years?

[Lumine: Why is "young girl" in quotation marks?! What do you mean by that, System?!]

[Amber: So Lumine, you're already so... mature? You clearly look about the same age as me.]

[Venti: Then should I call you Grandma Lumine?]

[Lumine (▼皿▼#): Stare...]

[Venti: Ehehe!]

[Lumine: Ehehe janai yo!]

Paimon: That sounds like my line, doesn't it?

Dreamseeker: An "ordinary" student at the Ouxia City Data Research Institute.

[Theresa: So she's still a student?]

[Otto: Ouxia City... I've never heard of that place.]

[Tesla: Yo~ Otto—no, I should call you Mr. First Green One. How does it feel to become a Green One?]

[Otto: Dr. Tesla, that was merely a punishment, not reality. Therefore, I do not care about it.]

[Tesla: Oh~ really? Then, Mr. First "Green" One, I have a few photos here that I'd like to show you.]

[Tesla: Brides Gazing at Each Other.jpg]

[Tesla: Exchanging Rings.jpg]

[Tesla: That Strand of Saliva.jpg]

"Doctor, is it really okay for us to provoke Otto like this?" Looking at Tesla, who was laughing wildly, someone could not help but remark.

"Don't be such a killjoy, Chicken Nest Head." Thinking about Otto's expression, Tesla laughed even more happily. "It's a shame we can't see his face right now, but this is pretty interesting."

Meanwhile, at Schicksal Headquarters, Otto's face was frighteningly dark. Watching his expression grow darker and darker, Amber asked, "Bishop, should we..."

"There's no need, Amber." Otto interrupted her with a smile. "Now is not the time for an all-out war with Anti-Entropy."

"Then, Bishop, do we not need to do anything?"

"Of course we do. Recently, the climate has been warming, so it is only reasonable for certain companies' material prices to rise, isn't it?"

"Yes, Bishop. I understand."

At that moment, Anti-Entropy's two doctors did not yet know that their already scarce funds were about to shrink again. Meanwhile, many Kallen Fantasy players discovered that a Red Lobster Boss had been added to the game.

[Now for the final one.]

Stelle: A newborn, zero-year-old baby?

[March 7th: No, you said this thing is one year old!]

Looking at Stelle beside her, who had just taken down a Void Trotter with every swing, was taller than she was, and rummaged through trash cans whenever she had free time, March 7th fell into deep thought...

[Theresa: Are babies in your world all this tall?]

Looking at her own height, which had not changed in so many years, then at the "baby" from the neighboring world who was twice as tall as her, Theresa silently took a sip of the Bitter Melon Height-Increasing Potion she had just bought. (It was actually just bitter melon-flavored high-calcium milk.)

[Himeko (Honkai: Star Rail): Everyone, don't misunderstand. Stelle... is just a special case.]

Seeing that the people from the other two worlds seemed to have developed some strange misunderstanding about her world, Himeko, as the Trailblaze Crew's guardian, hurriedly explained.

[Sparkle: Then doesn't that mean the Stellaris Train employs minors?]

[Himeko: Cough, cough. Everyone, let's take a look at Miss Raven's reward first.]
