Rita sincerely hoped not to become enemies with Zerg.
Not only because of Zerg's cute appearance, but also because of the power he possessed.
She hoped Lord Otto could make a decision that benefited both sides.
His fingers tapped against the back of his chair.
The blond man browsed through the message sent by the Valkyrie.
The artificial human named Amber stood quietly at his side without saying a word.
Otto's gaze lingered briefly on the image of a certain pink-haired shrine maiden before he focused entirely on the subject of the report.
"Zerg... a child I've never heard of."
There were no relevant records in the Schicksal Database.
Rita's judgment was that they could not become enemies with him, or Schicksal would suffer tremendous losses.
The child called Zerg possessed formidable power himself, and he was also the Overlord of those peculiar creatures that had appeared in Nagazora City.
Those peculiar creatures were enemies of Honkai.
"Tap... tap..."
His fingertips tapped against the desk.
The Archbishop of Schicksal propped his head up with one hand.
Zerg had become involved with an important target.
This was rather troublesome.
And—
The Herrscher of the Void had revived even earlier than he had anticipated.
Things seemed to be slipping somewhat beyond his control.
"Amber, help me find out when my dear Durandal will be able to return."
The Archbishop of Schicksal asked this.
"Yes, Bishop Otto."
The artificial human maid bowed slightly and quickly began operating her portable terminal.
"According to the message Lady Durandal left behind, she is expected to return within a month."
Amber reported her answer.
"Mm, I understand."
Otto pondered for a moment.
"Amber, when the time comes, help me ask my dear Durandal—"
"Whether she has any interest in finding herself a fiancé?"
