In Honkai, Only Love Valkyries

"How do I meet the Will of Honkai? And how do I take it then?"

[You only need to wait.]

[The Will of Honkai will come to you.]

Otto's expression stiffened. He felt like he'd asked a foolish question; the Will of Honkai was bound to seek him out.

It knew he was in Changkong City.

Still, Otto felt a bit of regret.

He saw the Will of Honkai as merely a tool of the Imaginary Tree, like an unfeeling automated program.

It had no humanity.

Perhaps his desperate struggle to help this world overcome the Honkai meant nothing to it, not something worth its concern.

It was like getting a perfect score on a test, only for your parents to dismiss it with a simple "oh."

If he were to seize its authority, it might not even care, perhaps not even show a flicker of emotion, and simply carry on with its business.

That was truly sad.

If only the Will of Honkai possessed something like humanity.

If he could see its despairing expression, that would be truly delightful.

But then again, the humanity of us humans is probably something insignificant and unnoticeable to it, something it wouldn't care about at all.

Otto sighed.

At that moment, the bathroom door opened.

Otto collected his thoughts. Defeating the Honkai was more important. He wasn't some pleasure-seeking lunatic, and Cocolia's despairing expression would surely be more satisfying than the Will of Honkai's.

He returned to the room from the balcony. Kiana emerged, wearing the hotel's yukata.

However, Otto felt something was a bit off.

The hem of the yukata seemed deliberately raised...

Her legs were fair and slender, her hips rounded, and the parts full of feminine charm were very eye-catching.

Her skin, a soft pink, was flushed, and her hair, as white and pure as moonlight, cascaded down her back. Her sapphire eyes sparkled, as dazzling as a constellation.

It had to be said, Bronya was quite a sight to behold.

Seeing Kiana like this, Otto couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

As expected of my future wife.

Otto didn't bother pretending. He was indeed infatuated with Kiana. After all, once the Honkai was defeated, he'd need to settle his personal affairs.

Kiana was definitely a charming and excellent choice.

Mei, who had been sitting in the room waiting, stood up. She looked at Kiana emerging from the bathroom.

She noticed Mr. Otto's gaze seemed glued to the other girl.

Really now, is she that good-looking...?

For some reason, a strange emotion welled up within her.

She stood, wearing a simple, elegant white dress. But her tall and outstanding figure caused her full chest to slightly push forward as she stood with her slender legs straight.

She exuded a cool, detached aura, like a flower in its prime. She donned the mask of the Lightning Queen when facing outsiders, which reminded Otto of the first time he met Raiden Mei.

Mei was considerably taller than Kiana, one at 172cm and the other at 163cm, a difference of 9cm, making Mei's legs appear much longer.

However, Kiana refused to be outdone. Despite being shorter, she puffed out her chest, completely ignoring the height difference, her sapphire eyes fixed on Mei.

"I am Kiana Kaslana."

"I am Raiden Mei."

They each spoke, and Otto, standing between them, felt the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Could there still be lingering resentment between them?

Then I should tell a joke to lighten the mood.

"Why so tense?"

"Could this be what they call a shuraba? To have two cute girls fighting over me, I truly am a man of grave sins."

"But, can I have both?"

Otto said with a smile.

Kiana and Mei's gazes simultaneously turned to Otto, making him feel uneasy.

Why are they looking at me like that?

So, he asked cautiously.

"Uh, you guys... you're not actually fighting over me, are you?"

"H-how is that possible!?" Mei didn't speak, but Kiana's cheeks flushed. She stomped her foot, hands on her hips, and glared fiercely at Otto.

"I-I don't want to have your babies!"

Otto's eyes narrowed slightly.

He realized Kiana seemed to have caught something from him.

Why was she thinking about having babies every day?

Shuraba.

Otto had never imagined he would experience something like this.

After all, if he didn't handle it well, he might end up with a kitchen knife.

However, he felt that Kiana and Mei's bickering wasn't really a shuraba.

Otto felt they were more like female puppies with territorial instincts, afraid of their space being taken by the other.

But.

Their rivalry satisfied Otto's vanity and sense of accomplishment.

This made Otto very pleased. If they had no feelings for him at all, why would they be at each other's throats?

"Mei, you go take a bath first."

"We'll go eat together later."

Otto stepped in to mediate.

Mei nodded.

After Mei went into the bathroom, Otto looked at Kiana, who was standing there with her cheeks puffed out, a smile on his face.

Her puffed-out cheeks really made her look like a swollen pufferfish.

Kiana looked at Otto discontentedly. She put her hands on her hips, but her heart was pounding fiercely.

Really, what is he talking about, bickering...

I'm not doing that at all.

"Alright, alright, why is this cute little face getting so round?"

Otto cupped Kiana's cheeks in his hands and rubbed them. Kiana pouted, letting Otto knead her pretty face like dough.

She was already getting a little used to Otto's physical contact.

Habit is a terrible thing.

"I know you're jealous."

"I am not jealous."

Kiana retorted. Seeing her earnest denial, Otto almost believed her.

If she really didn't care, she would have gone to cuddle with the beautiful girl she saw, instead of trying to outdo each other in beauty.

"My cute little kitten, you are Mei's senior. As a reliable senior, you should let your junior have her way."

"Ngh, junior?"

Because her cheeks were being played with by Otto, Kiana's voice was a little muffled, and Otto nodded.

"She will become a Valkyrie like you in the future. You arrived before her, so you are her senior. You need to set a good example for her."

"Senior..."

Kiana was unfamiliar with the word, but she understood one thing from Otto's words.

That is, I came first!

Hmph hmph.

Otto patted her head. The docile white furball felt so good to pet.

If he wasn't worried about going too far, he really wanted to kiss her lips.

Kiana shook her head. She felt Otto always treated her like a cat, petting her whenever he felt like it.

But this feeling...

It somehow felt warm.

Kiana didn't dislike this feeling.

This white furball, who had been alone for years and lacked maternal and paternal love since childhood, developed a slight sense of dependence on Otto.

Otto affectionately stroked Kiana's head and said with a smile.

"But you don't have to worry. There will always be a place for you by my side. My lap will always welcome your little butt to sit on."

"After all, you're my main wife, Mei is just my secondary wife."

"Who's your main wife?" Kiana playfully punched Otto in the chest, annoyed by his teasing.

Otto lowered his head, looking into her sapphire eyes that shimmered like a clear spring.

The sound of water continued from the bathroom; Mei was showering.

Otto then whispered in Kiana's ear.

"My main wife, may I kiss you?"

Kiana's heart skipped a beat.

She knew Otto had kissed her lips more than once, but those were all times when he'd ambushed her while she was asleep.

"No way."

Her chest fluttered, and Kiana forcefully pushed Otto away.

She felt a flicker of fear.

For a fleeting moment, she had actually considered agreeing.

I can't give in.

Absolutely cannot give in.

Even though the atmosphere was perfect right now, Kiana still held back.

Her sensitive heart worried that if she gave in too easily...

He wouldn't cherish it anymore.

No one cherishes something they can obtain with ease.

"What a shame."
