I Only Love Valkyries in Honkai

Only he could help her.

Like a ray of sunshine in the darkness, illuminating her path.

Mei, this lost soul, wanted to grasp that ray of light.

And, he had such a beautiful smile.

Golden hair and blue eyes, incomparably handsome, as if he had stepped right out of a fairy tale.

So, the knight who would save her had already arrived.

No, not a knight, but my prince.

A blush colored the young girl's pale, pretty face.

When people make a choice, many subconsciously idealize their decision.

Still, Otto was indeed a handsome and outstanding man.

Otto carefully examined the girl's pretty face.

Right now, she was just an ordinary high school girl who couldn't do anything.

Saving someone was easy, but clearing their name was difficult, yet for Otto, it was as simple as breathing.

And while what Otto said was the truth, he had hidden some things from Mei.

For instance, the Anti-Entropy conservatives could have saved Raiden Ryoma, but he had already taken Raiden Ryoma to Schicksal's prison, leaving Anti-Entropy in a difficult spot.

He was playing the information game.

"I promise you, I will help clear your father's name."

"So, come and love me."

"Okay?"

The chips were down, and Otto looked at Mei, awaiting her reply.

"Mmm..."

Her voice was as faint as a mosquito's hum, but Otto heard it clearly.

Mei had no choice.

Even if she had other options, he would have blocked them all.

Otto would never give up the Herrscher of Thunder.

"However, love takes time. I know you can't just start loving me all of a sudden."

"So, first, you can try staying in this room tonight."

"Like a girl in love."

"Only think of me~"

Chapter 34: Your Lover is in My Room

[Host, you actually deceived an unknowing girl. What a twisted hobby you have.]

As Otto closed his room door, the System's voice echoed in his mind.

Mei was resting in Otto's room. The moment Otto left, she rolled around on the bed, not at all like a young lady, but more like a Bronya.

She had always attended an all-girls school and hadn't had much contact with boys, let alone romance.

Recalling her first meeting with that man, Otto Apocalypse, he had worn a mask. Wasn't that just like the masked phantom thieves or masked knights who often appeared in fairy tales to save princesses?

Wuwuwu.

Mei rolled on the bed, her chuunibyou mind lost in thought.

However, Mei didn't realize.

The only one on her mind was Otto.

And Otto, leaning against the door outside, said to the System with annoyance, "You're not playing dead anymore? When the Will of Honkai came, you dared to pretend to be dead?"

After calming Mei down, hearing the System's voice, Otto's already simmering anger erupted.

He had almost died back then.

[Host, please do not get agitated.]

"How can I not be agitated? That was desertion! You'll be court-martialed!"

Otto gritted his teeth, wishing he could turn the System into Bronya and spank her.

[Host, please do not get agitated. This System hid itself for the Host's sake.]

The System continued to speak in Bronya's voice.

[The Will of Honkai did not detect this System's existence. When we meet again, this System will be your hidden blade.]

[You also said that the first encounter with fate caught you off guard, leading to a crushing defeat.]

"Then we should hide our strength for the second encounter later."

"At that time, you will pull the almighty gods from their thrones, and there will be a seat for you on the throne."

"Why do I feel like you're not very reliable?"

However, being able to snatch Judgement of Shamash from the Will of Honkai means the System can still contend with it, which is good news.

"That's just your illusion, host. This System is entirely at your service."

It seems I can only rely on the System right now. After all, I've been targeted by the Will of Honkai, and there's no other path for me.

If I don't rely on the System now, should I just sit here and wait for death?

Damn it, why does this situation feel so familiar? Isn't this what Mei and I went through before?

But now the roles are reversed.

Good heavens, instant karma.

"But why isn't the Will of Honkai just throwing an Honkai beast of Judgment-class or even a planetary-class Honkai beast at me now?"

Otto was a bit confused. He had taken Mei away in the morning, and it was already evening. The Will of Honkai hadn't appeared, only descending upon the Herrscher of Thunder once during the day.

Shouldn't the omnipotent Will of Honkai just kill me directly?

"It's because you're like a proxy test-taker in an exam hall, and the Will of Honkai is the invigilator. It needs to drive you out, but it can't blow up the entire exam hall just to get rid of you."

Otto nodded. In other words, the Will of Honkai has limitations even when it wants to kill him. This was good news.

As long as it couldn't obliterate him with a snap of its fingers, he still had a chance to resist.

Otto breathed a sigh of relief.

He could finally catch his breath.

"By the way, can you contact the Will of Honkai? I could actually switch sides and join Honkai. I could help it invigilate too."

I somehow feel like being a proxy test-taker has no future. If I, Bishop Otto, the one most likely to defeat Honkai, am replaced, can I really defeat Honkai?

"Sorry, this System does not have that function."

"And, instead of being a proxy test-taker or an invigilator, why don't you become the one who creates the test?"

Creates the test?

Otto crossed his arms, deep in thought. Just then, he heard footsteps.

Kiana, wearing a White Comet battlesuit under his jacket, returned. She was walking and eating a skewer of meat, her lips glistening with oil, clearly having eaten quite a bit.

Otto stopped thinking about his troubles and a smile appeared on his face.

Earlier, Kiana had rescued Asakura Miyuki from falling debris in the school building. Since Asakura Miyuki had suddenly fallen unconscious, she had rushed her to the hospital.

Otto had texted her to ask where she was. After she truthfully replied, Otto told her to stay away from Senba Academy for the time being.

At that time, Otto's main concern was Mei.

"What a cute little cat this is! It's already 8 PM, and you're only getting home now. I'd love to know what kind of parents raised such a delinquent girl."

Otto joked.

Kiana rolled her eyes at him, swayed her body, leaned forward, her hips slightly jutting out, and pointed a bamboo skewer at Otto.

"What do you think?"

"Don't you know my old man?"

Otto gasped, finding it a bit daring.

He looked at the cunning Kiana, then ruffled her head. What a mischievous girl.

"Don't point those skewers at other people."

Otto said with a smile.

Kiana escaped from Otto's grasp and then looked at Otto standing at his room's door with a frown, asking.

"Why are you standing at your room's door?"

Because your lover is hidden in my room.

Of course, Otto wouldn't say that. Kiana hadn't even met Raiden Mei yet, let alone fallen for her.

Now, they both belonged to him.

So Otto said with a smile.

"Because I want to spend the night with you."

Chapter 35. Bronya's First is Otto 3/5

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

As the door opened, the girl emerged barefoot from the bathroom.

Her hair, like the bright moonlight, cascaded down her back, not tied into two braids as usual. Her fair, delicate face, like that of a porcelain doll, was flushed with an alluring redness from the hot shower.

Kiana was no longer in her White Comet battlesuit, but in low-rise hot pants and a tank top adorned with pink spots.

She stretched languidly, her lovely body exuding youthful energy.

Kiana looked at Otto, who was sitting on the sofa, and said.

"I'm done washing up, you go next."

Oh, it's Bronya, I didn't expect to see her in this form here.

It really makes me want to hug her.

Otto sat on the sofa watching Kiana, and he shook his head.

"I already showered earlier."

"Fine, then."

Kiana, drying her long hair with a towel, walked over to Otto. She then saw what he was watching, and her face immediately fell.

"Why are you watching the Blu-ray I rented before I even opened it?"

Kiana pouted in dissatisfaction. On the TV in front of Otto, a restricted-rating, gory horror movie was playing. On the low table in front of him were several Blu-ray cases, one of which Otto had opened.

"It's fine, it's just a low-budget trash film. Only the female lead has some acting skills. Let me tell you, the beginning part..."

"I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it."

Kiana covered her ears, refusing to let Otto spoil the movie. Once Otto stopped talking, she scrambled onto the sofa and plopped down right next to him.

"Start from the beginning, from the beginning!"

She whined like a child.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say."

Otto could only hand her the remote with a sigh. Kiana immediately rewound the playback to the beginning.
