In a Honkai World, I Only Love Valkyries

But Otto would not force the issue, especially since he currently had a Soul Steel body.

Still, the main quest reward from the system included a body, and Otto was determined to get his hands on that flesh-and-blood body.

After all, if he failed to complete it, he would be turned into a female Otto.

Lying on the sofa, Otto stared at the ceiling and brought up the system panel.

Yesterday's daily mission had been completed. He now had 220 Crystals and 400 Friendship Points. Kiana helping scrub his back yesterday had directly earned him two hundred Friendship Points.

However, Friendship Points were not important. Otto felt that the best items in the system's prize pool were Herrscher Cores and Stigmata. Drawing a Herrscher Core would be an absolute jackpot.

But then, he suddenly became a little curious.

What if he drew the Herrscher of the Void or the Herrscher of Knowledge?

How would the system deliver them?

The system's unreliability gave Otto an instant headache, but he still looked at the newly updated daily mission. After all, the system was currently the only thing he could rely on.

Kiss a Valkyrie. Mission Reward: 100 Crystals. Mission Status: Incomplete.

Well then.

Otto immediately flipped himself upright. It was not that he wanted to do anything bad—his lips had been forced into it too.

He planned to farm the mission with Kiana. Most of his missions had been completed through Kiana anyway.

Kiana truly was his considerate little cotton-padded jacket.

His feet touched the floor as he skillfully approached the sleeping Kiana on the bed. He was not taking advantage of her while she was vulnerable. After all, Otto felt that Kiana was quite close to him now, and aside from him, she probably would not take a liking to any other man in the future.

He could not possibly make Kiana live like a widow, could he?

Otto had become the kind of person he disliked—erecting a chastity arch after becoming a whore, finding excuses for his own actions.

But perhaps people were just this hypocritical.

Standing beside Kiana's bed and looking at her sleeping face, Otto skillfully lowered his head, not feeling particularly nervous. It was not as if this was his first time.

However, just as he bent down, a pair of azure eyes opened.

Kiana looked at Otto, who was mere inches away.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became awkward.

Otto's movements froze as well. Why did this girl have to wake up at a time like this? If she had woken up while he was kissing her, she definitely would have pretended to still be asleep.

Fortunately, he revealed a smile.

"Time to get up for breakfast."

With that, Otto straightened up, as though he had come solely to wake Kiana for breakfast.

Kiana nodded blankly, looking as though she had not fully woken up yet. But after Otto turned away, she immediately bared her teeth in frustration.

Good grief, he was trying to steal another kiss from me.

Kiana was like a little kitten with claws and fangs bared, except her claws were not directed at Otto. If she had not woken up, he definitely would have kissed her again.

But look at how naturally he played dumb. He seemed so practiced. Just how many times had he secretly kissed me!?

Kiana turned over, hugged the blanket in her arms, and buried her face in it. She was still a Young Girl with no experience in love at all, yet her lips had already been claimed by a man multiple times.

This person was so awful.

Did he really want to kiss me that badly?

A trace of confusion surfaced in Kiana's heart, but she shook her head and picked up the phone by her bedside, preparing to distract herself.

Then she saw several messages, all sent by Asakura Miyuki.

Was she inviting her out again?

Kiana looked at the messages while lying in bed, then turned to look at Otto, who was tidying his clothes nearby.

"Otto, Asakura wants to ask me out again..."

Hearing Kiana's words, Otto turned to look at her. Asking someone out to play for two days in a row—was this how girls interacted with one another?

Otto was not a girl, so he did not understand this. After thinking for a moment, he asked tentatively, "Could she like you? Be careful—she might confess to you."

Otto said with a smile. He was testing Kiana's attitude toward Asakura Miyuki. If anything unfavorable happened, he could only nip it in the bud.

I've already hidden Housewife away in my golden house. How could I fail to deal with some little high school girl?

"How could that be?"

Kiana said as she hugged the blanket and looked at Otto.

"Once you're done dealing with your affairs, we're leaving this place, right?"

She knew very well that one day, she would leave Changkong City and part ways with Asakura Miyuki, whom she had only recently met.

Then, as time passed, the two of them would lose contact.

In the end, she and Asakura Miyuki belonged to different worlds.

Otto nodded. He could not tell that Kiana had any feelings for Asakura Miyuki, though she did seem a little saddened by the separation.

After all, Siegfried had left Kiana without saying a word back then.

That was also one reason Otto disliked Siegfried. Leaving was one thing, but why not say anything? Why not stay in touch? It had made Kiana somewhat sensitive when it came to interpersonal relationships.

Although Siegfried had protected Kiana from the shadows, he had overlooked the psychological harm he had caused her.

Sometimes, wounds of the heart hurt more than wounds of the body.

"Even if she isn't around, I'll still be with you."

Otto said it lightly.

As though it were the most natural thing in the world.

The moment Kiana heard Otto's words, her heart gave a violent thump, and she hugged the blanket in her arms even tighter.

She quickly got her expression under control, but there was no stopping her racing heart.

Kiana could only flash a sly smile and pretend to be calm as she spoke.

"Could this be you courting me?"

"Sorry, my heart did race for a moment, but after thinking about it calmly, we really are impossible."

She said it with a joking smile, while Otto put on a sorrowful act and replied in a delicate, coquettish voice, "Honestly, I've been dumped again."

Brushing aside what had just happened, Kiana got out of bed and looked at Otto.

"Then should I go hang out with her again?"

"Go on, go on. Be careful." Now that he knew Kiana had no interest in Asakura Miyuki, Otto had no intention of stopping her.

"You still have to deal with that girl named Raiden Mei? Is there anything you need my help with?"

Not causing trouble there would be the greatest help you could give me.

Otto shook his head. "The situation is good right now. Senba Academy suspending classes is a good thing. Raiden Mei has the Conquest Gem inside her, and although it hadn't caused any problems before—"

"After her father was imprisoned, all those negative emotions caused the Conquest Gem to begin awakening."

"It could contaminate the surrounding area."

"Fortunately, Senba Academy has suspended classes, so no innocent girls will be corroded by leaked Honkai Energy."

Otto said with a smile.

Kiana asked curiously.

"What happens if someone gets contaminated?"

Otto thought for a moment and chose an example.

"A well-behaved young lady might lose herself and turn into a deformed monster, eventually becoming a zombie."

If it were severe, she could turn into a Quasi-Herrscher.

"But that won't happen now."

I@#@￥@#￥@￥@!

Like an old father seeing his daughter off, Otto watched Kiana leave before heading to the room next door.

He lightly pressed the doorbell. Now that Kiana wife was gone, he could indulge himself and sneak off with Auntie Mei next door to... ahem, take a little break together.

After waiting a while, Mei came to open the door. However, Otto noticed that she had taken longer than yesterday to answer it. She had probably been doing something.

When the door opened, Otto looked at Mei in confusion, because he smelled something burnt.

Mixed into that scent were all sorts of strange smells.

"Mr. Otto."

Mei called softly, but she stood in the doorway, preventing Otto from entering.

"Not going to invite me in?"

Otto said with a smile. He noticed faint dark circles around Mei's eyes. Had this girl not slept well last night?

Could it be that she missed Dad again?

Looks like I'll have Rita take some pictures of Raiden Ryoma happily serving his sentence in prison.

Brother Ryoma, for Mei's sake, happily give your daughter a peace sign.

"No, it's just that inside is... a little messy."

Mei lowered her head and asked timidly, but Otto suddenly frowned and grabbed her wrist, his movement somewhat rough.

Because Otto saw that every finger on both of Mei's hands was covered in bandages.

"Ah!"

Mei cried out softly. Otto's grip on her wrist hurt a little.

Otto looked at Mei's hands, and his expression immediately darkened. His emerald eyes fixed on Mei.

"Are you hurting yourself?"

That wasn't a good thing.

What Otto wanted was a Herrscher of Thunder who obeyed him, not a puppet on the verge of a mental breakdown.

It seemed this Housewife still hadn't been taught enough.

Mei was a little frightened by Otto's expression. When they had first met, she had thought Otto was some crazed lunatic, but after spending time with him, she had discovered that he was a courteous gentleman.

This was the first time that gentleman had been so rough with her.

But Mei didn't develop any negative feelings toward Otto.

She felt that Otto was like a stern elder. Even though her wrist hurt a little from his grip, Mei knew Mr. Otto was angry because he cared about her.

If he didn't care about her, why would he act like this?

Warmth spread through her heart.

She wasn't alone. There was still someone who cared about her.

"No, it's not that. I accidentally cut myself with a kitchen knife while cooking."

Cut herself while cooking?

"A kitchen knife is used a little differently from a bamboo sword. I wasn't used to it at first."

Of course. It would be far too dangerous if someone used a kitchen knife to chop people.

Still, Otto breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't self-harm, it was fine. Once someone got used to hurting themselves, they would become twisted.

Otto had no desire to see Mei turn into a mentally unstable Yandere.

He held Mei's hands and looked at the bandages on them.

"Does it still hurt now?"
