A Person in Honkai, Only Loves Valkyries

Bronya stared intently at Otto's handsome face, she could swear this was the first time she'd seen the man today.

"Who... are you?"

Bronya spoke in her usual flat tone. The Heavy-Duty Bunny behind her returned to its quantum state. She didn't make any rash moves, as this blonde man was simply too bizarre.

"Bronya, I have no intention of being your enemy, nor do I wish to harm you."

Otto called Bronya by name directly, causing her to narrow her eyes. She could tell the man knew her.

Could it be that the encounter at the convenience store was a trap he set for me?

"My name is Otto, but you can call me, the Prophet."

Otto? That's a common name.

But what did Prophet mean?

Bronya looked at Otto, who continued to smile and speak.

"I can foresee everything in the future."

"Perhaps you don't believe me, but Bronya, you can look at the thing by your legs."

"That is my Book of Prophecy."

Otto pointed to the stack of white paper by Bronya's legs. Bronya picked it up, and the title alone made her frown.

My Wedding?

She couldn't understand.

Bronya looked back at Otto, but he remained silent, simply gesturing for her to continue reading.

Her gaze returned to the papers in her hands. Bronya flipped to the next page and frowned again.

"This is... a comic?"

Bronya looked at the drawings on the paper in confusion. She was no stranger to comics; she was a loyal reader of the Humo comics.

However, the thing in her hands was crudely made, as if no background had been drawn, with only text notes. This was just a draft of a comic, wasn't it?

Bronya touched it with her finger; the ink wasn't dry yet.

After reading the content, Bronya frowned.

Otto proposes to Bronya, and Bronya, with tears of joy, accepts Otto's proposal.

The content of the first page of the comic could be summarized as such.

Even the usually sharp Bronya didn't immediately grasp it.

She looked up at Otto and said in a flat tone, "Did Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei swear brotherhood in your mouth?"

Otto smiled without replying, gesturing for Bronya to keep reading.

Though, compared to Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, he preferred Cao Cao.

Bronya frowned but still turned to the next page.

Otto wants to give Bronya a wedding, but he doesn't want to use Bronya's money, so he works hard, yet the money is still not enough.

Bronya continued to flip the pages and then her eyes widened.

Because she saw Seele!

Looking at Seele's comic depiction, it was exactly like the Seele in her memory, except her chest was drawn a bit too large.

To draw someone so accurately meant this man named Otto had met Seele!

Although Bronya remained expressionless, her breathing quickened slightly.

However, the next plot point completely stunned Bronya.

Seele approaches the penniless Otto and offers to provide funds for Otto and Sister Bronya. After Otto agrees, the seemingly innocent Seele unexpectedly kisses Otto!

Bronya: ???

Chapter 21. Dumped by Bronya

Bronya calmly finished reading Seele's doujinshi. Although the title was Bronya's Wedding, she didn't actually have any scenes in it.

Even when she appeared, she was just a pitiful wife kept in the dark by her husband and best friend.

But...

"What, do you believe I'm a Prophet now?"

Seeing Bronya's blank expression, not even showing a hint of anger, Otto wasn't surprised.

Bronya's emotional circuits were currently damaged. Only after she obtained the Herrscher of Reason's core to reconstruct her emotional circuits would she be able to show other expressions.

Bronya placed Seele's doujinshi on her lap and shook her head.

"I don't believe you."

"Compared to a Prophet, I think you calling yourself a Terminator would be more believable."

Bronya recalled Otto's unmovable iron neck.

"I thought so too," Otto chuckled. Although Bronya was young, she had become an assassin from a young age, making her the most mature of the trio.

"But it's really boring when you wake up."

The young pervert was still browsing lewd apps, while the old pervert could already produce his own content.

However, Bronya pulled out a few pages from Seele's book and then said.

"Cocolia Orphanage isn't exactly a secret, so it's not surprising that you know my and Seele's names and appearances."

"But... how do you know this?"

Bronya showed Otto the few pages she had pulled out.

[Bronya was cooking in the kitchen, Seele and Otto were in the living room, but in the next moment, Seele's aura changed. The originally innocent Seele became like a succubus.]

Above Seele, who was enveloped in a dark aura, there was even a thoughtful label: Black Seele.

[Black Seele dragged Otto into Bronya's room and then performed the "How could Black Seele-man wear Bronya's clothes?" and "Since you're seeking excitement, let's see it through to the end."]

[In the end, Black Seele couldn't take it anymore and called out, "Please, my other self," and transformed back into White Seele.]

During the days she spent with Seele, Bronya had felt a Seele who wasn't quite Seele.

Because Anya had been so traumatized by Black Seele that she had an extreme reaction whenever she heard Seele's name, Bronya realized that Seele might have a side she had never seen.

But even Cocolia didn't know about this. Bronya had only caught glimpses of it. The only one who had seen Seele's other side was the withdrawn Anya. So why did this man know?

"Seele Vollerei has a dual personality."

"The Seele you know is just one of her personalities, while her other personality is filled with madness and violence. I call her Black Seele."

Otto explained.

"But you don't have to worry, Black Seele dotes on the Seele you know very much."

"Even in the Sea of Quantum, she has always accompanied Seele."

"You know a lot," Bronya said, looking at Otto. The blond man had an indescribable aura, and she always felt...

He was a bit like Cocolia.

"Yes, I know a lot. For example, you want to save Seele from the Sea of Quantum."

"But you are destined to fail."

Otto pointed at Bronya.

"And there's only one reason for your failure: you rely on Cocolia, not me."

"You don't know how strong Anti-Entropy is," Bronya said calmly.

"Then you don't know Schicksal's strength either."

Otto said with a smile.

"You're with Schicksal?"

As an external member of Anti-Entropy, Bronya naturally knew about Schicksal.

"Yes, I can help you find Seele. Cocolia might be able to open the door to the Sea of Quantum, but what will come back will definitely not be Seele."

"But a ferocious turtle waiting for an opportunity to escape."

A thousand-year-old turtle, ten-thousand-year-old turtle. One Kevin is equivalent to five Kamisato Ayakas.

If Kevin were released now in this version, no one could stop him.

At that time, if Kevin were to execute the Stigmata Project, humanity would be reduced to less than a tenth. And the first to be trampled would likely be Schicksal and Otto, who could hinder his plan.

Therefore, Otto would prevent Kevin's return.

"You want me to betray my adoptive mother and seek help from you, someone I've just met?"

Bronya didn't care about the turtle Otto mentioned. She said coldly.

"If I'm more useful than Cocolia, then choosing me isn't impossible," Otto said with a smile.

Although Cocolia held a certain place in Bronya's heart, Seele was undoubtedly number one.

"What do you see in me?"

Bronya asked. Every gain had its price.

She must have been unconscious for a long time, but there were no signs of assault, which meant this man wasn't after her body.

"Your strength, your skills, your everything."

"Bronya, I want you to become my subordinate and work for me."

Bronya's incredible hacking skills could even infiltrate Schicksal's database. In terms of appearance and ability, she was an excellent talent.

Moreover, with Seele around, this girl would be very easy to control.

Someone useful and easy to control was exactly what Otto needed, as his foundation was still shallow.

Otto extended two fingers toward Bronya.

"And I promise, within two years, you'll see Seele."

With that, Otto tossed the cane he had prepared long ago to Bronya.

"If you are willing to swear allegiance to me, break this cane."

Late at night, Otto was alone in the empty room.

His right hand caressed the cane on his knee.

The cane had not been broken.

Regrettably, he had been dumped by Bronya.

Bronya did not swear allegiance to Otto because she had more than one option, and Otto's promise hadn't been enticing enough for her.

She wasn't a girl who could be swayed by a mere lollipop.

At least for now, Cocolia hadn't disappointed her.

Thinking about it, Bronya joining St. Freya Academy was also at Cocolia's instruction, to act as a spy within.

Otto didn't dwell on it too much; he had simply been rejected by a woman, and after Bronya refused him, he let her leave without any fuss.

Clingy men aren't very popular, after all.

If Seele were already in his grasp, the outcome would have undoubtedly been different, but unfortunately, Seele was still in the Sea of Quantum, so he could only offer Bronya a false promise. However, Cocolia was also making promises to her.

Still.

Otto had achieved his most basic objective.

That is, to let Bronya know that Cocolia wasn't her only path.
