Otto put on a show of being hurt and stretched lazily. He did not feel disappointed; he thought his relationship with Kiana was progressing well.
More than friends, not quite lovers.
Now, all he needed to do was wait for their bond to settle.
When the time came, she would kindle the flame for him.
But honestly, he enjoyed the happy times he spent with the girls.
This period had been incredibly relaxing. He did not need to scheme or worry about his identity being exposed.
She could repay this happiness with children later.
Ignoring Otto, Kiana sat on the sofa and started watching TV. The blush on her ears had yet to fade, and Otto glanced at her with a smile.
Returning to the balcony, Otto took out his communication terminal and contacted his secretary, Amber.
"Send people to thoroughly investigate Changkong City. If anything strange comes up, report it to me immediately."
Otto issued the order.
The reason for taking action was that the system had previously said Changkong City was beginning to become abnormal.
Clearly, something might go wrong in Changkong City.
Was Cocolia up to something, or was it the Will of Honkai?
If it was the latter, then the problem would be serious.
Otto pondered.
Actually, he could already take Mei out of Changkong City.
Part of the reason he had not taken Mei away before was that he had not known how to awaken the Lightning Herrscher personality within her.
He had thought that, if necessary, he could use Cocolia's hand to awaken her. That way, even if something went wrong, his hands would remain clean.
Anyway, Cocolia could take the blame.
That was his selfish side.
But now Otto already knew how to awaken Miss Lightning Herrscher.
Then there was no need to remain in Changkong City.
Still, he raised his head and looked at the sky. Then he closed his eyes and questioned the system in his heart.
"System, if I complete the mission of having Schicksal possess a Herrscher, will that body be given to me immediately?"
In truth, Otto could change bodies even without the system's reward, but the reward for a main quest could not possibly be that mediocre.
It did not need to be too powerful. Someone on Kevin's level would be enough.
The host may claim it whenever you wish.
After all, your body is yours to decide.
The system immediately replied.
"Then do you have a way for me to seize the authority of the Will of Honkai?"
Otto asked again.
As long as you can come into close contact with the vessel descended upon by the Will of Honkai, this system can open the door leading to the Will of Honkai for you.
In other words, the system would be responsible for delivering him before the Will of Honkai.
Otto opened his eyes.
A trace of savagery flashed through his jade-like eyes as an idea that could only be called insane took shape in his heart.
He wanted to take the initiative rather than passively wait for the Will of Honkai to favor him.
But then he shook his head.
No.
There was no need.
Everything was calm now. There was no need to take such a risk.
But.
The unease rising in his heart made him somewhat uncomfortable.
If I Become a Herrscher, I'll Smash Your Dog Head First
Night had fallen, but Kiana was not sleepy in the slightest.
Because beside her lay a girl she had only met recently.
On the soft bed, Kiana and Mei lay stiffly straight. In the enormous room, there were only the two of them.
Both of them had their eyes wide open in the darkness. Neither was asleep.
The bed was clearly quite large, yet they seemed to be lying inside a narrow coffin. If someone covered them with a white sheet, this place could pass for a morgue.
There was no helping it. The atmosphere was genuinely awkward.
When Otto had taken the two of them out to eat together, the atmosphere had been fairly good. Kiana was no longer as confrontational toward Mei as before.
After all, Kiana felt that she was the senior who had come first, so naturally she had to give way to her junior.
Hehe.
I came first.
Mei also knew that Kiana had gone through some painful things today. Seeing that Kiana was no longer so aggressive, her attitude softened somewhat, though she still maintained a cold and unapproachable air.
But when it came time to rest for the night, another disagreement arose.
There was no helping it. Mei discovered that Otto and Kiana were actually going to enter the same room, so she instinctively stopped them.
And in the end, Kiana and Mei shared one room while Otto had one to himself.
As for getting another room, both Kiana and Mei instinctively ignored that option.
Because while one of them was asleep, the other might sneak into Otto's room, or Otto might take the initiative and deliver himself to her door. They had to keep an eye on each other to feel at ease.
During that time, Otto had even grinned and suggested that the three of them sleep together, but that option was immediately rejected.
But at this moment, Kiana and Mei thought the same thing.
We should have just slept together.
Anyway, with another person there, Otto could not do anything.
At least then, the air would not be filled with the stench of awkwardness like it was now. Neither of them was an ordinary girl, and they knew nothing about the popular topics of the day.
Even if they talked, their only shared topic was Otto.
Kiana's heart stirred. She turned her head toward the person beside her, but the room was pitch-black and she could not see anything.
"R-Raiden Mei, how did you meet Otto?"
She could not help asking.
The more lively Kiana could not stand the current atmosphere, so she took the initiative to speak.
Mei did not respond, making Kiana wonder whether she had fallen asleep.
"Mr. Otto... is a good person."
But after a while, Mei finally spoke slowly.
Kiana's words were like a key that broke the silence of the night.
The Herrscher of the Void and the Herrscher of Thunder began discussing a man as though they were ordinary girls out on a trip.
Their emotions gradually rose, and any trace of sleepiness vanished. Both of them energetically talked about their experiences with Otto.
As though they were sharing.
And also as though they were boasting.
Otto's name never left their words.
Their chests were huge.
But their hearts only had room for the same man.

Yet the scumbag who had two-timed them welcomed another woman into his room.
Otto sat in a chair, swirling the red wine in his hand.
Before him stood the ever-flat High Immortal Fu Hua.
"My old friend, have a seat. You still have to stay here for the night. Don't tell me you plan to stand all night?"
Otto invited Fu Hua to sit, but she merely glanced at him. She remained leaning against the wall, her arms folded across her chest.
Within Schicksal, only she could ignore Otto like this.
If any other Valkyrie dared reject the Bishop of Schicksal's goodwill, she would soon be taken away for tea and ideological education.
"Don't be so cold, my old friend. I only invited you to my room because I saw how hard you were working to protect them in secret."
Otto smiled.
But Fu Hua said nothing. This man was the one who had assigned her the task of protecting Raiden Mei.
A protection mission was not so easy to carry out. Earlier, when Otto had not been around, Fu Hua had been lurking in the shadows to avoid being discovered by Mei.
He was clearly the one who had caused her all this trouble, yet now he was here pretending to care.
Still, Fu Hua looked toward the wall. On the other side were two girls, and she recalled the girl besides Raiden Mei.
"The other girl, she resembles..."
Before she could finish, Fu Hua looked at Otto, wanting an explanation from him.
"She is K423, a Kiana Kaslana clone I created. Siegfried took her away in the past, but she ultimately returned to my hands."
Otto spoke calmly.
"She possesses the Herrscher Core of Sirin, the Second Herrscher, and she will become the new Herrscher of the Void. A Herrscher of the Void loyal to me."
He pointed at his own heart.
Hearing Otto's words, Fu Hua frowned deeply.
"Have you gone insane?"
Fu Hua looked at Otto. His calm expression gave her an eerie feeling.
Beneath that glamorous exterior, just how mad was his heart?
He had actually placed the Second Herrscher and the Third Herrscher together.
If she was even slightly careless and the Second Herrscher and Third Herrscher awakened together, it would be a disaster for this world.
But then she shook her head.
"No, you should have seen a psychiatrist long ago."
More than five hundred years ago.
"You actually want to control Herrschers."
Such a mad idea even surpassed Dr. MEI.
"No, no, no." Otto shook his head. "What I want to control are humans who possess Herrscher power."
"When they become Herrschers, the bond and love between them and me will become the leverage that awakens their human personalities."
Otto stood up and placed his left hand behind his back. He walked toward Fu Hua, lowered his head slightly, and whispered before her.
"When that time comes, I will gain girls who possess Herrscher power."
"My old friend, if you became a Herrscher, do you think that, with the bond between us, you would awaken for my sake?"
Hearing Otto's words, even though their faces were close, Fu Hua felt no ripple in her heart. Kiana and Mei might have been a little shy in such a situation, but Fu Hua was not.
Otto, put away that routine you use to sweet-talk young girls.
