Friendship Points had surged, but Otto had no time to care about that.
What he cared about was the "girl pretending to sleep."
Otto opened his eyes and saw that Kiana's eyes were still tightly shut, though her butterfly-thin lashes trembled slightly.
Kiana was pretending to sleep.
If she were not pretending, then both of them would be embarrassed.
Because it would be difficult to brush this matter aside. Things would be a little awkward between them from now on.
So the best choice was for Kiana to pretend to sleep, and for both of them to act as if nothing had happened.
Otto's lips slowly parted from Kiana's.
He took a light breath and studied Kiana's stunning sleeping face.
Then he captured Kiana's lips again, gently biting her tempting thin lips as he stole from them with a touch of greed.
Let me just...
Push my luck a little.
Never Let Him Attack Again!
The little bug pretending to sleep tasted quite nice.
Otto slowly closed Kiana's bedroom door, then leaned against it and looked at the empty living room.
"Does this count as our relationship taking a small step forward?"
He chuckled softly. He had taken advantage of her a little. If this were the Kiana who had met Mei, forget pretending to sleep—she would have gotten up and beaten him half to death.
Was this the joy of getting there first?
This feeling really was not bad. Kiana's little mouth was so sweet.
"Cute Little Kitten, just like this, slowly become mine, then become a firefly that shines only for me."
Without regret, Otto shook his head and hummed a tune as he went to eat breakfast.
As for calling Kiana to breakfast, Otto figured that in her current state, she would not have any appetite at all.
The moment he closed the door, a pair of azure eyes suddenly flew open in the dim room.
Kiana sat up with her knees drawn close, staring blankly to her left, then to her right.
Then, in disbelief, she pressed her fingers against her lips.
As though changing faces, her fair cheeks instantly turned bright red, and the tips of her ears burned.
How dare he! How dare he!
She buried her face in her knees, yet her fingers never left her lips. The sensation from earlier seemed to remain there, impossible to erase, as though it had been branded directly onto them.
That was her first kiss!
She had been searching for Siegfried all this time and had never dated anyone. Her only hobby was probably looking at pretty girls.
She had once imagined what her first kiss would be like. Perhaps she would give it to a black-haired, straight-haired young lady, or perhaps to a stoic tomboy.
But she never could have imagined that she would give it to the mouth of a man she had known for less than a day!!!
And besides!!!
How dared he stick his tongue in?!
Wasn't he afraid she would wake up?!
She had already woken up when Otto knocked on the door. Having lived alone for years, Kiana was sensitive to everything around her and could easily be startled awake by the slightest movement.
But before she could get up, she heard Otto enter, and instinctively pretended to be asleep.
Yet she never expected him to launch a sneak attack and secretly kiss her?
Damn it!
Kiana rolled around on the bed, her white hair scattering everywhere. After rolling about for quite a while, she sprawled out on the bed with her limbs spread wide.
Staring at the ceiling, she murmured softly.
"A place to belong...?"
After finishing breakfast in the hotel restaurant, Otto returned to his room with a newspaper.
He glanced at Kiana's tightly closed door. That girl still had not come out, and he had no idea when her anger would subside, but Otto did not particularly care.
He sat leisurely on the sofa, unscrewed a bottle of Assam milk tea, and poured it into a cup.
It could not be helped. He did not know how to brew tea.
I really hope Rita comes back to make tea for This Bishop.
Otto leaned back against the sofa and unfolded the newspaper in his hands, preparing to see if there was anything interesting.
However, the communication terminal in his pocket vibrated.
When he took it out, he found that it was a message from Rita.
He had just been thinking about Rita, and Rita had sent him a message. Was this what they called having connected hearts?
Sure enough, Rita and I are a perfect match.
Opening Rita's message, Otto saw that she first asked after his health before reporting on the task he had previously assigned her.
Raiden Ryoma had already been taken out of prison by her.
Then he had been locked up in Schicksal's prison.
Her efficiency is truly high, Otto praised inwardly. He also noticed that there was a photo attached to the message.
In the photo, Rita, dressed in a maid outfit, stood before an iron fence and made a V sign with her right hand. Behind the bars stood Raiden Ryoma, leaning against the wall with a completely lifeless expression.
It could not be helped. There was still hope when Cocolia had thrown him into prison; Anti-Entropy's Conservative Faction would rescue him.
But he had never expected to end up in Schicksal's hands.
Leaving now would be harder than reaching the heavens.
What concerned him even more was that being discovered by Schicksal meant every move Cocolia made was under Schicksal's watch.
Then his daughter...
In short, he was utterly dead inside.
Seeing Raiden Ryoma's expression, Otto smiled. He hoped his future father-in-law would enjoy his stay in Schicksal's prison.
Then he operated his terminal and cropped the photo.
He specifically cropped out the part where Rita was making the V sign, then carefully saved it.
Now that Raiden Ryoma was in his hands, the trip to Changkong City was practically guaranteed. Even Theresa would not be able to snatch Raiden Mei away.
Otto smiled and put down the terminal before reading the newspaper. In his memories, nothing major should have happened in Italy. The places worth watching were Changkong City, Sky City, London, Singapore, and the like.
For now, he only needed to focus on Changkong City.
After all, aside from Mei, there was something else there that he absolutely had to obtain.
That was Karmic Retribution.
Although this legendary Divine Key had not been described much, it was eternally godlike, a treasure Otto was determined to acquire.
Otto casually glanced at the system panel. Those three main quests could also be completed in Changkong City.
That was, snatch Mei, capture Cocolia, then kill Cocolia.
Otto would not show mercy to that mother fox Cocolia, who loved stirring up trouble. Letting her go would be disrespecting his own life.
But why had these Friendship Points suddenly increased by 300 after he kissed Kiana?
Even holding Kiana's hand earlier had only earned him 50.
It really was strange.
Otto now had 350 Friendship Points. He could draw once from the Friendship Supply, but he chose to save up for a ten-pull and draw when he had free time.
Though Friendship Supply was trash in the game, the things stuffed into this system pool might not be so ordinary.
If it contained something like Judgment of Shamash, Feather of Dust, or Star of Eden, Otto could die on the spot for the system to see.
Time slowly passed. After receiving a delivery sent by Schicksal, it was already nearing noon. Otto placed the finished newspaper on the coffee table and was just about to stretch—
When he heard the sound of a door opening.
She was finally willing to come out?
"Sleepy Little Kitten, you finally decided to get out of bed?"
Otto looked at Kiana as she emerged from her room with a smile. When Kiana saw him looking at her, she somewhat guiltily averted her gaze.
But thinking about it, Otto had clearly been the one who secretly kissed her. Why should this young lady feel guilty?!
So she looked back at Otto gloomily.
Although she was pretending that nothing had happened earlier, Kiana's eyes kept drifting toward Otto's lips, because that hateful mouth was the one that had bitten her.
"Cute Little Kitten, am I really that handsome?"
"This young lady is just a little sleepy."
Only after hearing Otto's voice did Kiana turn her head away and walk toward the washroom.
As long as she did not mention it, it was the same as nothing having happened.
Next time I sleep, this young lady will definitely lock the door. I absolutely won't give that bastard another chance to attack me!
Kiana thought resolutely.
She looked exactly like an old general on an opera stage, covered in victory flags.

Is Valkyrie a Proper Profession?
"Awesome!"
In the luxurious restaurant, Kiana downed a cup of warm milk and leaned back in her chair with satisfaction.
The table was a complete mess of used plates and cups. Otto picked up a handkerchief and was about to wipe the white stain from the corner of Kiana's mouth.
"I'll do it myself."
Kiana avoided Otto's outstretched hand and wiped away the milk stain from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, making Otto frown.
What an unrefined girl.
Otto gently shook his head, returned the handkerchief to his pocket, and looked at Kiana's round, bulging belly.
What a pity. He was not the one responsible for it.
"What are you looking at?" Seeing him stare at her, Kiana spoke unhappily. Although she had swallowed down the matter of Otto secretly kissing her, that did not mean she had forgiven him.
The reason she had eaten so much was also because she had turned her grief and anger into an appetite.
"I'm just a little disappointed that I wasn't the one who made your belly bigger."
"Don't say something so misleading!"
Otto laughed, while Kiana unhappily punched his shoulder. Yet after only a few hits, she somehow hurt herself instead.
This man was so hard.
It hurt her so much.
Kiana rubbed her hand and decided to ignore Otto. Instead, she wore a blissful expression and stroked her belly, filled with delicious food.
She had never eaten so much delicious food until she was full before.
"Oh, right. I have a gift for you later."
Otto lifted the black tea prepared by the restaurant attendant and took a sip. It tasted better than bottled Assam milk tea, but it was still nowhere near as good as the tea Rita brewed.
