In Honkai, I Only Love Valkyries

Kiana became alert. Having lived alone for so long, she was always wary of her surroundings.

However, Otto merely pointed to the door Kiana had kicked down.

"That door was quite expensive. You'll have to pay a lot for it, cute little lady."

"Huh?" Kiana didn't understand why this guy was suddenly talking to her about this. "I broke down the door to save someone! If you had just opened it obediently, it wouldn't be broken."

Kiana didn't care about such trivial matters. Even if she had to pay compensation, she could just take this blonde bastard's ill-gotten gains to cover it.

"Saving someone, what a righteous young girl. But..."

Otto flashed a smile.

"No one here needs you to save them. Wouldn't you agree, Miss Raven?"

"We're just doing a legitimate business transaction."

Otto looked at Raven with a smile, but Kiana blocked his line of sight with her body.

"Hmph, you look like a human but act like a beast. How dare these weak women resist you evil forces."

Kiana only believed what she saw with her own eyes.

The moment she opened the door, she saw Otto bullying Raven.

Otto raised an eyebrow. Raven, a weak woman? Even ten of your version of Bronya would be instantly defeated by this "weak woman," unless the Herrscher came out to fight for her.

"Actually, she's my girlfriend. What you're seeing is just us fooling around."

Otto explained again.

"What kind of fooling around involves kidnapping women in broad daylight? Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Kiana looked at Otto with the same disdainful expression she used for Theresa (that big idiot).

Guess if I believe your nonsense.

She's not easily fooled.

Otto sighed inwardly. Before meeting Mei, Bronya still had some intelligence.

Once she decided someone was evil, it was hard to reason with such a straightforward person just by talking.

Moreover, it was difficult for him to defend himself here.

"Fine," Otto shrugged. "Miss Raven, please tell me your answer next time. Our agreement is still valid until you refuse me."

"I have some family matters to attend to, so I won't be entertaining you any longer."

"You're letting me go?" Raven said in surprise. She thought Schicksal would keep her detained until she agreed to join them. "I can really leave?"

"Of course. However, if Miss Raven would like to stay and keep me company, I would be most pleased."

Otto said with a smile. Before he finished speaking, Raven was already getting out of bed.

Who would want to share a room with the Lord Overseer of Schicksal? Being with someone like him, who hid daggers in his smiles, made Raven feel like half her life had been scared out of her.

Her first encounter with the Lord Overseer of Schicksal, Raven conceded.

I'm just a crude mercenary. Let Jackal deal with Otto.

Just then, Kiana called out in a panic.

"Don't you dare!"

"This bad guy definitely has lackeys waiting outside. I can protect you here, but if you go out, you'll be captured and used as a hostage!"

If the other party took a hostage to threaten her, Kiana really didn't know if she should surrender.

If she were captured by these villains, Kiana couldn't imagine what cruel treatment she would endure.

Therefore, the best course of action now was to capture this person who looked like the leader as a hostage, and then escape with the beautiful young lady. Who knows, maybe after this was over, the young lady would fall in love with her.

It's a shame she still had to find her smelly old dad, so she could only reluctantly refuse her affection.

Sigh, I'm such a woman burdened by sin.

"Hostage?"

"Little girl, you really aren't from our world, are you?"

"You don't understand anything. You're quite naive."

"But that's fine."

Her breath warm and fragrant, she placed her left hand on Kiana's left shoulder and leaned close to her ear, whispering.

Mmm, it smells so good.

Kiana's pretty face flushed slightly, and the ahoge on her head twitched again. She felt filled with strength. Heroes were always invincible when saving damsels in distress!

She was now at full power, invincible!

"Don't worry, I will definitely prot—tect?"

Her sapphire blue eyes widened, and Kiana incredulously tried to turn her head.

But her hands fell limply.

The pistol fell from her hand, and she sat before Otto in a duck-like pose.

Otto watched the scene with great interest.

Kiana opened her mouth, her jaw a little loose, her consciousness hazy, and her body completely devoid of strength, as if she had turned into a puddle of mud.

A slight stinging sensation still lingered in her waist.

"W...HY?"

Kiana asked with difficulty. Just moments ago, Raven had pricked Kiana from behind with a small needle, causing her to lose all ability to resist.

She was now just a helpless, weak woman.

"I... I was trying to save you."

Kiana didn't understand. She was doing the right thing, so why was she attacked from behind by the person she was trying to protect?

She didn't get it.

Otto narrowed his eyes. Where had that needle come from?

As expected, one couldn't be careless when dealing with people from World Serpent.

"This is just a neurotoxin. It will only make you temporarily lose control of your body."

Raven put away the poisoned needle.

"I don't dislike people like you who are full of justice."

"However, sometimes justice isn't recklessness."

"Wait a moment, apologize to this gentleman. He's magnanimous and will surely forgive you."

"Lord Overseer Otto, I don't think you'd get angry with a child, would you?"

Since Raven didn't know Kiana, she treated her as just some passing vigilante.

She couldn't let Kiana continue pointing a gun at Otto. The price for pointing a gun at Otto's head was immense. Even though Otto had a smile on his face now, this hypocrite must have been plotting countless ways to torment her in his heart.

Therefore, Raven was saving Kiana.

And giving Otto a way to save face.

An excellent mercenary not only needed outstanding skills but also understood social dynamics.

"I... I won't apologize."

But Kiana didn't think she had done anything wrong. Even if she had to do it a hundred more times, she would still break in without hesitation.

Kiana tried to struggle, but she could only weakly collapse before Otto.

"Shall I leave then?" Raven asked again, and Otto merely gestured towards the door.

"Let her leave."

Otto said calmly.

"Yes, Lord Overseer."

A voice, soft and captivating, came from somewhere, making even Otto feel a momentary weakness in his bones.

Raven narrowed her eyes, scanning her surroundings subtly.

So this is Schicksal's S-rank Valkyrie, Rita Rossweisse?

Raven couldn't find Rita hiding in the shadows. Without lingering, she left the room barefoot.

As Otto watched Raven leave, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had successfully escaped the potential threat from World Serpent. Next, he just needed to maintain his disguise as Otto in front of Rita and the others.

As long as he wasn't exposed, he was the Schicksal Overseer!

If he were exposed, he might have Otto's original memories implanted, Otto would be resurrected within him, and he would cease to be himself.

Therefore, he had to keep up the pretense.

However, this encounter had yielded an unexpected gain.

Otto looked at Kiana, who had collapsed before him.

"Actually, I'm not the bad person you think I am."

"Liar... bastard..."

But only vulgar curses could be heard from Kiana's mouth.

"I'm not lying."

Otto said with a smile. The Bronya who had pointed a gun at him just moments ago was now helplessly lying before him. This dramatic reversal truly made one want to sigh.

Otto leaned forward slightly, extending his right hand to grasp Kiana's left hand.

He held her soft, cold hand. Kiana offered no resistance, but her eyes glared at Otto as if they could spew fire.

If her body could move, she would have punched Otto in the face.

Raven's original intention was for Otto to forgive Kiana, but now it seemed Kiana's anger towards Otto had only intensified.

"I really like people like you who are full of justice. You're so dazzling, it's impossible to look away."

Otto held Kiana's hand, fingers intertwined. It wasn't a hand holding a hand, but a heart holding a heart.

He wasn't taking advantage of her; he was completing a daily System task.

[Daily Quest]

[Hold hands with any Valkyrie for five minutes. Quest Reward: 100 Crystals. Quest Status: Incomplete.]

He was just a soulless task-completion machine. Everything was for the System's tasks.

"Get... lost..."

Seeing Kiana baring her teeth like an angry kitten, Otto found it somewhat amusing.

"Cute little kitty, do you know what you're like right now? Like a little dog that's been leashed and neutered."

"Such impotent rage."

Otto said with a wicked grin.

Kiana's face turned pale, but she still spat out beautiful F-language.

However, her vocabulary was limited, mostly consisting of "baka, baka, urusai." Such colorful language wasn't suitable for such a cute girl.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

"How can I make you believe I'm not the bad guy you think I am?"

"Donations? Charity? Or helping the weak?"

Otto stopped teasing her. If he continued, something might happen.

Kiana stared at him coldly, wanting to see what other excuses he could come up with.

Otto rubbed Kiana's hand and smiled.

"Oh, right. You said there are many 'Yangge' stars here in Italy?"
