In Honkai, I Only Love Valkyries

Kiana's blue eyes widened. Using the dim light, she could finally see who the man sitting to her right was.

She opened her mouth, but a hand covered it, preventing her from crying out.

Otto lowered his hand, wiping Kiana's saliva and a few stray popcorn kernels onto her arm with a hint of disgust. Kiana closed her mouth and, in disbelief, picked up her phone to text Otto.

"Are you stalking me!? (╯▔皿▔)╯"

"I have to see if you're making bad friends. But she seems like a good kid.?"

"Hmph! Asakura-san is a good person!?"

"But you can't make lasting friends by just accepting favors. This is your 'second' friend."

"Mmm... (⊙Ｏ⊙)"

"I won't disturb you two. I'll leave after the movie. And no staying out overnight tonight????"

"Got it, got it, Mom!"

Otto and Kiana put down their phones simultaneously. Kiana looked at Asakura Miyuki beside her, offered her popcorn bucket, and whispered in her ear.

"Want some?"

Asakura Miyuki was startled when she heard Kiana's voice. The cool Kiana she'd always seen was actually initiating a conversation with her.

"Thank you."

Accepting Kiana's kindness, Asakura took a few kernels of popcorn. Kiana nodded with satisfaction after sharing snacks with her friend.

Neither of them picked up their phones again. The two girls sat quietly.

Otto watched the scene unfold, a smile gracing his lips.

He suddenly had a bold and immature idea.

He held Mei's hand with his right hand, and raised his left hand.

His left hand rested on Kiana's right hand.

Kiana didn't turn her head or move her hand. She kept her eyes on the movie screen, as if engrossed in the film.

Only the slowing pace at which she reached for popcorn betrayed her inner turmoil.

Otto didn't look at Kiana or Mei. He closed his eyes, appearing to be asleep.

Only his heart pounded fiercely.

His mind trembled, utterly ecstatic!

In the dim theater, Kiana was in his left hand, Mei in his right.

It was as if they were his wings.

Wings that would never get tangled.

Chapter 40: High Immortal, Why Are You In The Women's Restroom?

As the movie ended and the crowd dispersed, Otto parted ways with Kiana at the cinema. He didn't interfere too much with Kiana's affairs, as long as a second Mei didn't appear.

In the dark cinema, though separated by only one seat, the "housewife" and "Bronya" didn't notice each other.

Their destinies were twisted by Otto, becoming two parallel lines that would never intersect.

The housewife wouldn't be choked by the Herrscher of the Void, and Bronya wouldn't be beaten by the Herrscher of Thunder.

Well... probably.

However, Otto wouldn't prevent them from meeting forever. After all, they all had to serve him, so they couldn't stay apart indefinitely.

By then, both the Herrscher of the Void and the Herrscher of Thunder would be under Otto's control.

Leaning against the wall, Otto crossed his arms and stared at the grout lines on the floor. Passing young women cast curious glances his way.

It couldn't be helped, Otto was standing at the entrance of the women's restroom.

Fortunately, Otto was an exceptionally handsome foreigner. If it were some sleazy guy, security would have been called immediately.

Security might not be able to protect much, but they could call the police.

The reason Otto was standing there was simple: the theater's air conditioning was a bit chilly, and Mei had drunk some soda. So, after the movie, she went to the restroom.

Damn it, don't beautiful girls not need to use the restroom?!

Otto, worried about Mei's safety, hadn't strayed too far and was waiting here. However, the restroom was crowded, and it was inconvenient for the girls, with no clear place to stand. Mei still hadn't come out.

At this moment, a slender figure emerged from the women's restroom and stood before Otto.

It was a beautiful woman with ash-blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing red-rimmed glasses on her delicate face. Her flat figure was encased in a pure white suit, showing no curves whatsoever.

Her expression was slightly serious, her brows furrowed. Her face, unadorned by makeup, was exquisitely beautiful, exuding a refreshing, cool clarity.

She was the Fusion Warrior from the previous era, the Immortal Vermillion Bird of Shenzhou in this era, an A-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal, and Otto's lapdog, Fu Hua.

At over fifty thousand years old, she single-handedly raised the average age of Schicksal's Valkyries.

Her clear blue eyes regarded Otto calmly.

Otto wasn't surprised by her appearance, as he was the one who had summoned Fu Hua to Changkong City. Fu Hua had reported her arrival that morning.

Otto's normally gentle demeanor was gone. In front of Mei, he was a prospective boyfriend, but in front of Fu Hua, he had to wear the mask of the Bishop of Schicksal.

However, he was somewhat used to it.

"Yo, my old friend."

Otto mimicked Otto's own tone, then glanced at the women's restroom from which Fu Hua had emerged, and blurted out without thinking.

"Why are you going into the women's restroom?"

After saying it, Otto's heart skipped a beat.

He'd been talking too much trash lately and had spoken his mind without realizing it.

It's over, my Soul Steel face is going to be smashed flat...

"The restroom was convenient for hiding."

However, Fu Hua didn't realize Otto was subtly mocking her small chest. Otto breathed a sigh of relief. Fu Hua had been hiding in the restroom while Otto was watching the movie and only came out after it was over.

Seeing that Fu Hua didn't react, Otto breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

But High Immortal is really quite unremarkable.

"However, Otto, are you playing house with a child?"

Fu Hua said bluntly. Otto had called her to Changkong City overnight, and she thought it was something important. She had followed Otto early in the morning, only to see him holding hands with a strange girl.

Fu Hua was a bit puzzled. What was Otto trying to do?

A 500-year-old relic trying to pick up a young girl?

However, Fu Hua didn't find it strange. Although it was a bit absurd, it was somewhat normal for it to happen to Otto.

Besides, the Valkyries in Schicksal were all susceptible to Otto's charm.

Even though she never liked Otto, he did have many fangirl Valkyries in Schicksal.

However, Otto's next sentence made Fu Hua's expression change.

"She is the third Herrscher."

Otto lowered his head and whispered in Fu Hua's ear.

The girls emerging from the restroom looked at Otto and Fu Hua, who were wearing matching outfits (white suits and black pants). Some of them had sparkling eyes because, to them, it looked like a golden-haired handsome man and a gray-haired handsome man were having an intimate conversation.

Some even took pictures of the scene.

Fu Hua didn't push Otto away. Instead, she frowned and looked around. Otto was saying something so important in such a public setting. What if someone overheard them?

She's just a worker with no emotions.

However, Fu Hua understood what Otto meant. She nodded.

"Understood. I'll go kill her now."

You understand my ass!

Seeing Fu Hua turn to go back into the restroom to finish off Mei, Otto quickly grabbed Fu Hua's arm. Fu Hua looked at Otto's dirty hand, and Otto casually moved it away.

He was genuinely worried about being beaten.

This Immortal Vermillion Bird is truly ruthless and speaks little.

"She isn't a Herrscher yet. She's only been implanted with the Conquest Gem."

Otto continued, moving a few steps away from the restroom and gesturing for Fu Hua to follow.

He was truly afraid Fu Hua would suddenly rush into the restroom and punch Mei's head off. Otto didn't want to see the dignified housewife die in the women's restroom.

"But what if she suddenly awakens? This is Changkong City, and the citizens haven't been evacuated."

Fu Hua asked with a frown. After learning that the girl was the third Herrscher, she thought Otto had been stalling her, waiting for her to come and take down the Herrscher's head.

She spoke her mind directly. Only Fu Hua dared to speak to Otto in such a tone within all of Schicksal.

"This is the Far East, not Shenzhou."

"I have my own arrangements for the third Herrscher here."

Otto said softly, and Fu Hua frowned.

That's right. My agreement with Otto is that I work for him, and Schicksal protects Shenzhou.

Heh, using Shenzhou to pressure me. This is indeed Otto's usual tactic.

"Then what did you want me for?"

"My old friend, I want to ask you..." Otto looked into Fu Hua's clear blue eyes, "Can you still use the Tai Xu Sword God?"

During the Second Honkai War, Fu Hua had burned her memories and directly knocked the Will of Honkai offline.

"It depends on the opponent's strength. But if it's a Herrscher-level threat like the third Herrscher, my current body and memories cannot support its use."

Fu Hua was stubborn, but she wasn't stupid.

She knew Otto must have some trick up his sleeve regarding the third Herrscher. If anything went wrong, she would be the one to step in.

This wasn't the first time she had cleaned up Otto's mess.

"What if... what if I could restore your body to its prime?"

"Bring you back to a state of being unrivaled throughout the world, just like over five hundred years ago."

Otto said softly. A fully restored High Immortal would absolutely be a powerful force capable of rivaling Kevin.

Having such a force by his side would provide an overwhelming sense of security.

And Otto indeed possessed the ability to do so, after all, Schicksal's medical technology was the best in the world.

However, restoring the High Immortal to her full strength would mean the agreement between Otto and Fu Hua would be broken.

A prime Fu Hua would have no need for Schicksal to protect Shenzhou.

Chapter 41: Kiana the Murderer

Restore to prime...

Fu Hua's eyes flickered, but she remained silent.

Because in all of Schicksal, only she and Otto had known each other for the longest time.

Fu Hua understood Otto.

That man never did anything without a reason.

His posing this question meant he likely had the capability to do it.

But Fu Hua knew he wouldn't. Once she returned to her prime, the agreement between her and Otto would cease to exist.

Moreover, if Otto truly helped her recover, Fu Hua would be even more wary.

Because that would mean Otto had already devised a plan involving her.
