In Honkai, Only Loving Valkyries

Anyway, it's just a few years early.

Stupid old man, you're going to be a grandfather.

Kiana looked up at the ceiling. So this was Otto's room. It was arranged similarly to her own.

Her outer clothes were discarded on the floor. The Three-Year Cherry sachet lay on the bed. Kiana tilted her head, reaching out a hand as if to grasp the sachet. But seeing the dried bloodstains on it, her fingertips ultimately didn't touch it.

All that remained on her delicate body was the White Comet armor.

But Otto didn't stop.

The White Comet armor peeled away. For some reason, Otto felt a sense of familiarity with this armor.

It came off quite quickly.

Perhaps every man is a born talent when it comes to taking off a girl's clothes.

Kiana watched Otto.

Her long white hair was scattered across the bed, like a pure, blooming flower.

Otto gazed at the pure, flawless Kiana. He raised his hand and picked her up again.

Kiana looked confused.

Otto didn't stop walking. He carried Kiana into the bathroom and gently placed her in the bathtub.

Water was poured into the bathtub.

The beautiful body that could drive men mad was gradually submerged by the water. Otto squatted beside the bathtub, watching Kiana.

"Take a hot bath."

"It'll help you calm down a little."

"The Kiana I know wouldn't just punch people randomly."

Otto stroked Kiana's head.

"Mhm."

Kiana responded softly, but she seemed to want to say more.

"It's not your fault about Asakura Miyuki."

Her mutation had happened before Kiana even came to Changkong City.

"This is all Honkai's fault. Honkai is the source of everything."

"Honkai creates tragedy, Honkai leads to despair. Honkai is a trial that humanity must overcome."

"If we don't defeat Honkai, tragedies like this will happen countless more times."

Asakura Miyuki was considered lucky to have Kiana to grieve for her.

For others, if Honkai descended, their entire families would usually perish in the Honkai.

To prevent tragedies from repeating, one must cut off their roots.

"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 some related knowledge, but she had always considered Honkai Beasts to be the main manifestation of Honkai. Fighting Honkai meant fighting Honkai Beasts, and she hadn't really felt anything about the so-called Honkai disaster.

Now, she finally had a tangible sense of the Honkai disaster.

"I will lead you, lead all of you Valkyries, to defeat Honkai, to fight for all the beauty in the world."

Otto said.

If the Will of Honkai was to be eliminated, then there would be no peace for him.

"Mhm."

Kiana responded.

Her fists should be swung at Honkai, not used to vent her anger on others.

Just as Otto said.

Fight for all the beauty in the world.

Otto ruffled Kiana's hair again. He looked at the water that had submerged Kiana's chest.

"For your Valkyrie qualification review in Changkong City this time, I want to give you a failing grade. Is that okay?"

Otto had said that if Kiana performed well in Changkong City, he could exempt her from Valkyrie training and assessments.

However, the reason he was giving her a failing grade wasn't because he was dissatisfied with Kiana.

It was because his expectations for Kiana were very high.

Otto realized that Kiana couldn't be deprived of this basic foundational education.

To exempt her from these would be irresponsible towards Kiana.

"Mhm."

Kiana gave a soft sound.

"Then take a hot bath for a while longer to calm yourself down. I'll wait for you the whole time," Otto said gently. He stood up, about to leave.

However, Otto heard the sound of water. He turned back and saw Kiana seemingly trying to stand up. Seeing Otto look back, Kiana hid her body underwater again.

Really, she wasn't even covering herself earlier.

Never mind, I've seen enough.

Otto said with a smile.

"If you want to invite me to join you, I wouldn't mind. But I won't withdraw the 'unqualified' judgment."

Kiana shook her head. She raised a hand and pointed at the water in the bathtub.

"You put in cold water. It's a bit cold."

Otto's expression froze. "No wonder there's no steam. So it was all cold water. This move is directly cooling Kiana down on a physical level."

He turned back as if nothing had happened and walked out of the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

Otto looked towards the doorway of the room, and a head poked in through the open door.

It was Raiden Mei.

"Come in," Otto beckoned Mei.

Mei walked in and looked towards the bathroom where the sound of water could be heard. She said softly, "Mr. Otto, you shouldn't be so rough with girls."

Seeing Otto's forceful behavior towards the girl, she thought he was going to do something to her.

And I was right outside the door watching.

Mei: |MO

But it seems I've misunderstood Mr. Otto.

"Mhm."

Otto nodded, indicating he had heard her.

Whether he would actually change his ways was another matter.

"Mei, don't take what she did earlier to heart. She's been through some things, and her emotions are a bit unstable," Otto said. Mei recalled the girl's attitude towards her and asked curiously, "Did... something happen?"

She felt a bit uneasy.

I caused my father to be imprisoned, and now...

"It's not your fault."

"It's all Honkai's fault."

"Because of Honkai, she had to free her good friend with her own hands."

"So, Mei, you must never lose to Honkai."

Chapter 54: Otto, Covered in Flags

Hot water enveloped her body. Her chin was submerged in the water, and Kiana blew bubbles.

Her initially cold body gradually warmed up. Kiana finally felt the reality of Asakura Miyuki's death.

I really lost a friend.

I only have two friends.

But I have to look forward.

Carrying the past, I must keep moving forward.

Otto was right. If Honkai still existed, such tragedies would repeat countless times.

"I want... to defeat Honkai," Kiana said, opening her mouth.

Then she accidentally swallowed a few mouthfuls of water.

She coughed a few times, and the tears she had been holding back almost came out.

Once she could breathe properly, Kiana looked around the bathroom. She was alone.

However, a scent that didn't belong to her filled the air.

It was Raiden Mei's.

So delicious.

Recalling Raiden Mei, whom she had just seen, Kiana never imagined that Otto would actually keep Raiden Mei in his room, with her being separated from Mei by just a single wall.

Why didn't he tell her anything about this?

However, when she thought about how Otto spent every night with her, Kiana's mood lightened slightly.

It's just...

She really was a beautiful young lady.

Fair skin, lovely features, elegant demeanor, and a cool, aloof aura.

And a large chest...

But Kiana touched her own perky backside.

Otto seemed to be a butt man.

Heh.

I win.

This young lady is an invincible, child-bearing figure!

No, no, what am I even thinking about!?

Gurgle gurgle.

Her head and body sinking into the water together, Kiana gave up thinking and blew bubbles in the bathtub.

Meanwhile, Otto sat on the bed where Raiden Mei had slept and looked at the Three-Year Cherry placed on the bed, not reaching out to pick it up.

"That's how things are."

Otto briefly explained to Mei what had happened with Kiana. Upon hearing that Kiana had personally killed her own friend, Mei fell silent for a moment.
