Green Otto: From That Day On, I Swore That One Day
"Oh--"
Lord Green Otto picked up the Little Fire brand red wine, and instead of sipping it slowly as usual, he gulped down a large glass like he was drinking beer. Then, in a cold tone, he spoke of Kallen's fate after sealing Yae Sakura.
First, he was severely injured and captured by Schicksal. Then he was put on trial and sentenced to death for revealing in court that he had fallen in love with a Herrscher.
Then, in an attempt to save her, Otto released the Honkai Beast imprisoned beneath Schicksal's underground, hoping to strike amidst the chaos. However, Kallen sacrificed herself to protect the citizens being attacked by the Honkai Beast.
"This is Kallen's fate—"
Actually, at this point, Lord Green Otto was also feeling very sad. Unlike his previous closed-off state of mind, influenced by the Late Night Diner, his current mentality was similar to that of five hundred years ago. Although he was scheming and complex, he still had all the emotions that a human being should have.
Although releasing Honkai Beast to create chaos and rescue Kallen was the only solution he could think of, his actions led to Kallen's death. (Even without this, Kallen would have been doomed anyway thanks to Da Wei Ge's power; otherwise, where would they find such a useful scapegoat like Lord Green Otto to drive the plot forward?)
Lord Green Otto had always been troubled by this matter. Now, as he drank the red wine served by Xiao Huo, he had no heart to savor this wine, which was better than any he had drunk in the past five hundred years. All he felt was that "the more he drank, the more sorrowful he became."
Yae Sakura: "How could this be?"
Upon hearing Kallen's fate, Yae Sakura looked completely devastated. If this weren't Late Night Diner, she might have already been invaded by the Yae Sakura Honkai Will and instantly turned into a Herrscher of Thunder.
Yae Sakura: It's all my fault
Yae Sakura has fallen into a state of self-isolation.
Of course, the other friends were also deeply saddened after hearing Kallen's story, and even Happy Kallen was hearing about it for the first time.
"Another bottle of wine, please—"
Having given up resisting the power of the Late Night Diner, Lord Green Otto indulged in drinking, quickly finishing his bottle and then ordering another.
While everyone else was doing their own thing, they were all keeping an eye on where Lord Green Otto and Yae Sakura were, hoping to hear more stories (gossip) about Kallen.
Of course, no one dared to approach Lord Green Otto, who looked like someone drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
The dean said, "Anyway, I don't dare to go now."
Even Rita didn't dare to remind Lord Green Otto to stop drinking like that.
After Lord Green Otto downed another half bottle of wine, the medicinal effects of the Little Fire brand dish finally kicked in, and Lord Otto began talking to himself.
"A long, long time ago, so long ago that I've almost forgotten—"
Lord Green Otto storyteller, and coupled with the sighing tone in his voice, no one who knows him would believe that he has such a side to them if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.
And the hundredth story that Lord Green Otto told was...
As a child Otto was physically weak, unlike the other children. In the theological feudal era of five hundred years ago, Lord Otto, who loved inventing things, was a useless oddball in the eyes of others because of his poor health.
Even though he was the second young master of the Apocalypse family, starter Pokémon Schicksal families, his life was not very good. Of course, this "not good" did not refer to a lack of food or clothing.
It was not his mental state that was the problem; he was rejected and abandoned by others. It seemed that the whole world could not tolerate such an outcast as him.
In such an environment, even Otto himself felt that he was just a superfluous person, like the moth by the window, with no one caring when he appeared or when his short life ended.
Until that day, he met Kallen, who helped Lord Green Otto retrieve the model airplane he had made, and then praised it with a bright smile. To this day, Lord Green Otto can still recall her smile and words.
"Wow, you're so amazing! You'll definitely become a great inventor someday!"
That was the first time Lord Green Otto had heard someone encourage and affirm him.
So it turns out I can be expected, so it turns out I can be needed... and finally, his promise to Kallen.
"Oh, right, inventor, I have one more request—"
"Come help me save the world!!"
(Humorous version: Kallen Kyubey: Otto the Shochu, make a contract with me and become Justice Partner to save the world!)
From that day on, Kallen became everything in Lord Green Otto's heart.
Of course, Lord Green Otto's story is not over yet; what follows are some of the stories that happen as he tries to fulfill Kallen's dream.
For example, when Kallen wanted to rob the rich to help the poor, Lord Green Otto disguised himself as a cross-dresser to distract the pursuers and help them escape danger.
Following Lord Green Otto's recollections and the words of the others, they entered into a story that had been sealed for five hundred years and now belonged to only one person.
This also includes the fact that he conducted human experiments to resist the infection of the Honkai (the Black Death), which was discovered by Kallen. However, the reason he did this was simply to become the great inventor that Kallen expected, so that he would not be abandoned by her.
There's also the story of how, after the failed Schicksal, Kallen conceived the idea of defecting from Schicksal, and then she transformed into a phantom thief, stole the Black Box, and escaped. She encountered Yae Sakura, was captured and brought Schicksal, and eventually died.
There are so many little stories and truths hidden within that time. If it weren't for Lord Green Otto, the person involved, speaking out, no one would have known, not even the real Kallen herself.
Even Kallen's final decision to solo the game was made because Lord Otto sent Kallen the Divine Key, such an important strategic weapon.
PS: Episode 80, Mei Chapter 1.25: Miss Mei continues her story of being encouraged (conquered) by that Long Jump Under the Sunset, secretly observing 'that friend' somewhere, creating a chance encounter, following him for a while, and deliberately taking a detour past his house. Mo Yi: "..." Actually Mo Yi rarely asks at this point, "Miss Mei, that friend you're talking about, could it also be named 'Mo De An Yi' (meaning 'No Peace of Mind')?" While Mo Yi is struggling with his dilemma and feeling quite awkward, Miss Mei continues her attack, not giving Mo Yi much time to hesitate or resist. She walks up to Mo Yi, looks into his eyes, and says firmly, "Mo Yi, I have feelings for you—"
Chapter 191: Green Otto: From that day on, I swore that one day...
"After witnessing Kallen being killed by Honkai Beast— "
Although Lord Green Otto's story is rather long, it is very exciting. Even Yae Sakura, who is in a state of self-isolation, is drawn into the story and can't help but learn more about Kallen's story.
Learn about Kallen from the perspective of other people, through the eyes of another admirer, her fiancé.
In fact, Yae Sakura really didn't know Kallen's experiences before meeting her, let alone that the other party had a fiancé. As a village girl, she didn't understand what a 'fiancé' was at first, but after listening to the story, she understood it in the context.
However, even the longest stories eventually come to an end.
"From that day on, I swore to myself—"
After finishing his drink, Lord Green Otto said calmly:
"One day, I will Resurrect Kallen and create the world she wants."
The other person's tone was very calm, as if they were talking about a trivial matter, but no one doubted their determination.
Not to mention the headmaster, even Kiana and Kallen, the Sin Hunter, whose affection for Lord Green Otto was negative, were shocked by his story.
Of course, while we may sympathize, Lord Green Otto's hostile attitude is unlikely to change!
Happy Kallen: Otto, you're a good person, but we're not a good match.
After telling the story, Lord Green Otto looked at Yae Sakura, who was still in a reclusive state beside him, and said calmly, "Yae Sakura, I can understand what happened between you and Kallen— "
"That was Kallen's choice, but I will never forgive you."
