Anyway, it was only a few years early.
Stinky Dad, you're going to be a grandpa.
Kiana looked at the ceiling. So this was Otto's room. Its layout was pretty similar to hers.
Her outer clothes had been tossed onto the floor, and the Three-Year Cherry sachet lay on the bed. Kiana turned her head and reached for it, but when she saw the dried bloodstains on it, her fingertips ultimately did not touch it.
Only the White Comet Armor remained on her slender body.
But Otto did not stop.
The White Comet Armor peeled away. For some reason, Otto felt somewhat familiar with this armor.
She undressed pretty quickly.
Perhaps every man was naturally gifted when it came to taking off a girl's clothes.
Kiana watched Otto.
Her long white hair was scattered across the bed like a pure flower in bloom.
Otto looked at the flawless, snow-white Kiana. He raised his hand and picked her up again.
Kiana looked puzzled.
Otto did not stop walking. Carrying Kiana into the bathroom, he gently placed her in the bathtub.
Water filled the tub.
The delicate body that could drive any man mad was gradually submerged. Otto crouched beside the bathtub and looked at Kiana.
"Take a hot bath."
"It'll help you calm down."
"The Kiana I know wouldn't casually throw punches at other people."
Otto patted Kiana on the head.
"Mm."
Kiana answered softly, but she seemed hesitant to speak.
"What happened to Asakura Miyuki wasn't your fault."
Her mutation had happened before Kiana came to Changkong City.
"This was all Honkai's fault. Honkai is the source of everything."
"Honkai creates tragedies, Honkai leads people into despair, and Honkai is a trial humanity must overcome."
"If Honkai isn't defeated, tragedies like this will happen countless more times."
Asakura Miyuki had been lucky, at least. Kiana was there to grieve for her.
For everyone else, when Honkai descended, their whole families would usually die in the disaster.
If they wanted tragedies to stop repeating themselves, they had to cut off the root of those tragedies.
"And the mission of Schicksal and the Valkyries is to protect humanity and defeat Honkai."
"Defeat... Honkai?"
Kiana knew what Honkai was. Siegfried had taught her a little about it, but she had always regarded Honkai Beasts as the main manifestation of Honkai. Fighting Honkai meant fighting Honkai Beasts, and she had never truly felt anything about so-called Honkai disasters.
But now, she finally had a real sense of what a Honkai disaster was.
"I will lead you, lead all of you, lead every Valkyrie to defeat Honkai and fight for all the beauty in this world."
Otto said.
Since the Will of Honkai wanted him gone, then there could be no peaceful coexistence between him and Honkai.
"Mm."
Kiana answered.
Her fists should be raised against Honkai, not used to vent her anger on others.
Just as Otto had said.
Fight for all the beauty in this world.
Otto rubbed Kiana's head again, looking at the water that had risen above her chest.
"For your Valkyrie qualification assessment in Changkong City this time, I want to give you an unsatisfactory rating. Is that okay?"
Otto had said that if Kiana performed well in Changkong City, he could exempt her from Valkyrie training and assessments.
But the reason he wanted to give her an unsatisfactory rating was not because he was dissatisfied with Kiana.
It was because he had high expectations for her.
Otto realized that Kiana could not skip this basic education and training.
Exempting her from it would be irresponsible.
"Mm."
Kiana answered.
"Then soak a little longer and calm yourself down. I'll be waiting for you the whole time."
Otto spoke gently. He stood up and was about to leave.
But Otto heard splashing. When he turned around, he saw Kiana seemingly trying to stand up. The moment she saw him look back, Kiana hid herself beneath the water again.
Seriously, she hadn't covered herself at all just now.
Forget it. He had seen enough anyway.

Otto said with a smile.
"If you're inviting me to soak with you, I don't mind. But I won't withdraw that unsatisfactory rating."
Kiana shook her head. Raising one hand, she pointed at the water in the bathtub.
"You ran cold water. It's a little cold."
Otto's expression froze. No wonder there's no steam. It was all cold water. I literally cooled Kiana down through physics.
He turned back around and walked out of the bathroom as though nothing had happened, closing the door behind him.
Otto looked toward the room's entrance and saw a head poke in through the open door.
It was Raiden Mei.
"Come in."
Otto beckoned to Mei.
Mei walked in. Looking toward the bathroom where the sound of water could be heard, she said softly.
"Mr. Otto, you can't be so rough with girls."
She had seen how forceful Otto had been with the girl and thought he was going to do something to her.
Even though she had been watching from the doorway.
Mei: |MO
But now, it seemed she had misunderstood Mr. Otto.
"Mm."
Otto nodded, indicating that he had taken it to heart.
As for whether he would change, that was another matter.
"Mei, don't take what she did earlier to heart. Something happened to her, and she's emotionally unstable."
Otto said. Mei recalled the girl's attitude toward her and asked curiously.
"Did... something happen?"
She felt a little uneasy.
She had caused her father to be imprisoned, and now...
"It wasn't your fault."
"This is all Honkai's fault."
"Because of Honkai, she personally put her best friend to rest."
"So, Mei, you absolutely must not lose to Honkai."
Chapter 54. Otto, Covered in Flags
Hot water wrapped around her body, her chin submerged beneath the surface as Kiana blew bubbles underwater.
As her once-cold body gradually warmed up, Kiana finally began to feel that Asakura Miyuki was truly dead.
She had really lost a friend.
She only had two friends.
But she had to keep looking ahead.
Carrying the past on her back, she had to keep moving forward.
Otto was right. As long as Honkai remained, tragedies like this would play out countless times.
"I want to... defeat Honkai."
Kiana opened her mouth to say.
Then she accidentally swallowed several mouthfuls of water.
She coughed sharply several times, and the tears she had been holding back nearly burst out.
After finally catching her breath, Kiana looked around the bathroom. There was no one else in it.
But the room was filled with a fragrance that did not belong to her.
It was Raiden Mei's.
It smelled so nice.
Thinking back to the Raiden Mei she had just met, Kiana had never expected Otto to keep Raiden Mei in his room. The two of them had only been separated by a wall.
Why had he not told her about this at all?
But then she remembered that Otto spent every night with her, and her mood eased a little.
Still...
That really was a beautiful young lady.
Fair-skinned, gorgeous, poised, and with a cold, elegant air.
And her chest was big too...
But Kiana touched her round butt.
Otto seemed to be a butt guy.
Heh.
Looks like I won.
This young lady has an invincible childbearing figure!
No, no, what am I even thinking about!?
"Glub glub."
Her head and body sank into the water together. Kiana gave up thinking and blew bubbles in the bathtub.
Meanwhile, Otto sat on the bed Raiden Mei had slept in and looked at the Three-Year Cherry on it without reaching for it.
"That's what happened."
Otto briefly explained what had happened to Kiana. When Mei heard that Kiana had personally killed her friend, she fell slightly silent.
