"Seriously, do you like these zombie movies that much? That male lead at the beginning..."
The spoiler master was immediately silenced by Kiana. She glared threateningly at Otto, who could only silently mime zipping his lips shut with his right hand in front of her.
He shut up.
With the spoiler hound quiet, Kiana put both feet up on the couch, hugged her knees, and watched the movie with an excited expression.
She desperately wanted to be like the movie's heroine, coolly fighting her way in and out of a sea of zombies with gun kata. But where would the real world get zombies?
Otto sat beside Kiana, close enough to catch her fragrance.
He could not help wondering why, when the hotel used the same body wash everywhere, Kiana smelled so much better than he did.
He really wanted to go into the bathroom with Kiana and conduct some in-depth research.
Just then, Kiana's phone chimed.
Otto's gaze fell on Kiana's perky backside. Hearing the sound as well, Kiana pulled her phone from her pocket in confusion.
After taking one look, a conflicted expression appeared on her face.
"What is it?" Otto asked with a smile. "Could some little vixen be looking for you?"
Otto was a little wary.
People learned to be smarter.

"No, it's the girl I told you about today, the one I saved. Her name is Asakura Miyuki, and she has super beautiful black hair!"
"She said classes are suspended now, so she wants to ask me out to play tomorrow."
Kiana openly showed Otto the text message.
Otto glanced at it and, seeing that it was an ordinary message from a female classmate, secretly sighed in relief.
He did not want history to repeat itself.
Even though the greatest threat, Housewife, was in his room, Kiana, this central air conditioner, really did not let him rest easy.
"Then go."
Otto did not think much of it. He had no impression of the name Asakura Miyuki; she was probably just some background character from Senba Academy.
While he wanted to mold Kiana into his shape, that did not mean cutting her off from the outside world entirely. She still needed normal, healthy social relationships.
Otherwise, she could easily turn into a yandere.
Besides, once he took Kiana back to Schicksal Headquarters, background characters like this would have no chance to appear again.
"Really? Then I'll accept?"
Kiana asked Otto. She still remembered that she belonged to Otto and had to listen to him. This concerned her Valkyrie assessment!
She did not want to study or take exams!
"Mm."
Otto nodded.
Seeing Otto agree, Kiana replied to Asakura Miyuki, though she asked curiously.
"By the way, did something happen at Senba Academy today?"
Kiana had seen the Teaching Building suddenly collapse with her own eyes. If Asakura Miyuki had not suddenly fainted beside her and needed to be brought somewhere safe, Kiana would have rushed straight into the collapsed Teaching Building to save people.
Thinking of the casualties reported in the news today made her heart ache a little.
If she had put Asakura Miyuki down back then, could she have saved a few more people?
"Raiden Mei had a little accident, but it's fine now."
Otto said. Kiana swallowed. A collapsed Teaching Building was only called a little accident?
Only now did she truly feel that her and Otto's actions were tied to the safety of all Changkong City.
"How about I don't go tomorrow? I'll handle serious business with you?"
"You, an amateur, would only come make trouble for me."
Otto said mockingly.
You think I'd let a Bronya come and mess things up while I'm winning Mei over?
Kiana unhappily gave Otto's shoulder a light punch.
"Young people should spend more time with friends while they can. Once you come with me to Schicksal Headquarters, you won't be able to relax like this anymore."
Otto rubbed Kiana's head. He also cherished this time spent fooling around with her.
Once they reached Schicksal Headquarters, he would have to keep wearing the mask of the Bishop of Schicksal.
No, he could still play around with Kiana occasionally.
"Friends? Does this count as being friends?"
Otto nodded.
Kiana looked at her phone and murmured softly.
"My... second friend."
"Second?" Otto's interest was piqued. "Then who was the first?"
Kiana raised her hand and pointed at Otto with her slender finger.
Kiana's first friend was Otto Apocalypse.
Looking at the slender finger pointed at him, Otto's heart suddenly skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Can you add the word 'male' before that?"
"No."
Kiana answered decisively.
Theresa Is Sleeping
Cocolia was very annoyed.
Inside an underground Anti-Entropy arsenal, a voluptuous and seductive woman paced irritably back and forth through the command room.
This mature woman, overflowing with feminine allure, was Cocolia, an executor of Anti-Entropy and one of the top domestic-war gods in the Honkai World.
Yet her brows were tightly furrowed.
Because Raiden Mei, her important test subject, had disappeared.
Today, Anti-Entropy, which had been monitoring Changkong City, detected an intense fluctuation of Honkai Energy at Senba Academy. It lasted for three minutes, then the sudden fluctuation vanished.
Then Raiden Mei, the test subject they had been watching all along, disappeared without a trace.
Upon receiving the news, Cocolia hurriedly assembled her subordinates to search for Raiden Mei. But no matter how they searched, they could not find her.
She did not dare act too brazenly. After all, Changkong City was Schicksal territory, and she feared drawing Schicksal's attention.
This was a crucial moment for her. As long as she obtained the complete Herrscher Core inside Raiden Mei, she could move one step closer to the seat of Alliance Leader of Anti-Entropy.
She could even use the Herrscher Core to help her precious daughter Seele, who had fallen into the Sea of Quanta, break free from her quantum state. Bronya would also stop resenting her.
Success in both career and family.
But before Cocolia's beautiful dream could come true, she suffered a crushing setback.
The very foundation of it all—Raiden Mei had actually vanished?
Mei carried Anti-Entropy's only Herrscher Gem!
The Gems of Serenity, Desire, and Plague were in Schicksal's hands, while Anti-Entropy's only Conquest Gem had been implanted in Raiden Mei.
If Mei could not be found, then Cocolia's research into Herrschers would enter a temporary but complete standstill.
A bone-chilling coldness filled her purple eyes, and no one else in the command room dared even breathe too loudly.
Cocolia frowned as she looked at the two faces on the display.
One was a blond man wearing a mask, named Olga Itsuka.
The other was an adorable white-haired girl, named Kiana Kaslana.
Her subordinate at Senba Academy had reported that these two suddenly arrived at the academy, and then this accident happened. It was difficult to separate them from the incident.
However, any information about the two of them was like snow on a lake's surface, vanishing at the slightest touch.
Their information had been hidden and encrypted.
But Cocolia roughly knew who had done it.
Heh.
Frederika Nikola Tesla!
Liselotte Albert Einstein!
It had to be those two women!
Other than Schicksal, only Anti-Entropy's Conservative Faction had that capability!
Cocolia did not pay much attention to the masked man. In recent years, her focus had always been on Anti-Entropy's internal affairs. And since she had joined Anti-Entropy only after the Second Honkai War, she had never faced Otto directly, so she could not guess that this was Otto.
Because no matter how hard she thought, she could not imagine that the reclusive Bishop of Schicksal would personally come to Changkong City.
It was too absurd.
Instead, Cocolia focused on the girl called Kiana Kaslana.
The Kaslana family was Schicksal's knightly family, but did that mean Cocolia would think Schicksal was behind this?
No, Tesla, Einstein, I won't!
Cocolia had long known that the Schicksal traitor named Siegfried Kaslana had close contact with Anti-Entropy's Conservative Faction. The two people before her were merely a smokescreen Tesla and the others had put out.
They were clever.
They wanted her to think Schicksal had interfered, to borrow Schicksal's skin and make her hesitate.
But!
I've seen through all your tricks!
"You actually dare pull this little stunt on me."
One reason Cocolia had thrown Raiden Ryoma into prison was to make Anti-Entropy's Conservative Faction spend time rescuing him, leaving them unable to interfere with her.
But now, she had clearly been enraged.
So she issued an order to her subordinate.
"Find Raiden Ryoma in prison, then..."
"Send one of his ears and three of his fingers to Tesla and the others!"
"Siegfried! Tell me, are you crazy, or am I?"
At this moment, Tesla, whom Cocolia had been thinking about, was losing her temper at Anti-Entropy Headquarters. Her temper was as fiery as her long red hair.
Einstein, with her bird's-nest hair, sat nearby with her arms crossed and a frown on her face.
Siegfried stood before Tesla like a naughty child being scolded. He had to admit, it reminded him of getting reprimanded for causing trouble as a child.
This was called reliving his childhood.
"You actually believed Otto!"
"Ridiculous! We're handing Anti-Entropy's business over to that animal Otto to handle!"
Tesla slammed the table in frustration. After Siegfried returned and told Tesla what Otto wanted him to convey, Tesla had nearly exploded with anger.
"But... can we make a move?"
Siegfried's single question left Tesla speechless. Alliance Leader Welt was absent. If the Conservative Faction acted and clashed with the Reformist Faction led by Cocolia, Anti-Entropy would descend into massive turmoil.
When that happened, Schicksal would be the one laughing.
