I Became a Saintess of Schicksal: The Grand Bishop in Drag

Not only did her grandfather look better than her when dressed as a woman, but he also exuded a more charming and feminine aura when he flirted with her.

Deeply affected, Theresa felt as if her soul was about to float out of her mouth.

Although this is just a rhetorical device, it is enough to show just how shocked she was.

This is like a reader of this novel coming home and finding their father dressed as a Japanese high school girl's sailor uniform.

If it were just plain ugly, that would be one thing, but it would just be another story like "My Middle-Aged Dad Wearing Japanese JK Girl Clothes." But what if your dad, when dressed as a woman, not only doesn't look ridiculous, but actually looks quite beautiful, and you even feel a little butterflies in your stomach?

Perhaps it can resonate with Theresa is already speechless with shock at this moment.

It's not uncommon for men to wear women's clothing and look good in it. As a Valkyrie spends a lot of time in the Far East, and as the head of the Far East Branch and the headmistress of the St. Freya Academy, Theresa has had a lot of exposure to the unique culture of the Far East.

At a comic convention held at a specific time each year in the Far East, Theresa saw many men dressed in women's clothing, and they were all very handsome.

The term "cross-dresser," or rather, the term "Hideyoshi," existed specifically for them.

But!!

A handsome boy or a cute man wearing women's clothing is completely different from one's own grandfather wearing women's clothing.

This is just like comparing a reader's classmate or colleague wearing women's clothing to the reader's father wearing women's clothing—they are completely different things and cannot be compared at all.

Theresa felt that the Herrscher from another world was no longer important. Let whoever wants to fight him go ahead. She just hoped that the reality before her was just a nightmare, and that she could wake up from this nightmare soon.

"I, I don't want to... the reality that Grandpa looks better than me in women's clothes, and is more feminine than me!"

"..."

"..."

"I think she makes a good point."

"..."

While bystanders shouldn't speak carelessly, Tesla's words reflected the sentiments of many others.

Freya, munching on an apple, found Otto's performance increasingly boring, and even the apple in her hand no longer tasted sweet. She could only say helplessly.

"Alright, Your Excellency, stop with your deliberately clumsy acting. After all, we want to cooperate with Anti-Entropy, not disgust our partners."

Freya got up and handed the half-eaten apple to Kiki, whose head was still a little dazed, before plopping back down on the sofa.

The reception room used to receive Welt and his companions was not large, but the furnishings were exquisite, and the sofas were very soft, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

Freya gestured for Kiki, Mei, and Welt to sit down, then looked helplessly at Otto had no intention of changing his clothes.

Freya always felt that Otto wasn't trying to annoy Welt and the others, but rather to annoy her.

Last night, after exchanging some inside information, Freya and Otto discussed cooperation. After all, even if Otto wanted to refuse, Freya could use her Herrscher of Consciousness abilities to make everyone in the Schicksal Headquarters see an Otto, and all she needed to do was have this Otto speak on her behalf.

Last night, Freya gave Otto the choice to cooperate or refuse to cooperate.

In reality, Otto had no choice at all.

Whether he refuses or not, Freya, who has already hacked the Schicksal Headquarters system, still possesses the power to manipulate everyone in Schicksal Headquarters. This means that regardless of whether Otto cooperates or not, she can control Schicksal Headquarters.

Although losing the Schicksal Headquarters will not affect his plans, he will definitely find himself in an inconvenient situation after leaving the Schicksal Headquarters, given that the outside world is also suffering from the Mind Plague.

So last night, Otto had no choice but to compromise under Freya's pressure.

After all, from the very beginning, Freya released the Mind Plague in order to control everyone in the outside world and to remove the lowest-ranking personnel from the three major organizations: Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent.

As the saying goes, "An army marches on its stomach."

With logistics and collaborators all under Freya's control, the three major organizations were already in a state of immobility.

However, the person she was scheming against was Otto. Freya had also considered that Otto might have other hidden logistics units in his other secret bases, but no matter how many logistics units he had hidden, they could not support Otto in affecting her subsequent plans.

Therefore, by taking advantage of the gap in time after defeating the World Serpent Organization and before the Schicksal could react, she stormed the Schicksal Headquarters and had already accomplished her most important strategic goal in this world.

After taking control of the Schicksal Headquarters, she can decide whether to force Otto to cooperate with her or to kick Otto out and go it alone.

It was precisely because Freya presented this reality to Otto that Otto readily agreed to cooperate, even shouting "Honkai the Honkai!" as if he were treating her as a true Honkai Apostle.

This made her very unhappy.

Freya then told Otto that he had to find a way to make her happy that day, or she would dump him. Unexpectedly, the next day, Freya saw Otto dressed as a woman, along with a whiteboard bearing the words "Reflecting on My Actions."

Honestly, Otto was really disgusting himself.

Freya pouted slightly, somewhat annoyed, and briefly explained to Welt, Kiki, and the others what had happened last night.

After learning that Otto had been forced into this predicament by her, everyone except Theresa, who seemed a little dim-witted and remained in a daze, looked at Otto with an expression of ' Otto, you've finally met your match,' as if he didn't care at all about cross-dressing.

There are only two kinds of cross-dressing: zero times and countless times. He had already cross-dressed five hundred years ago. In those five hundred years, not to mention cross-dressing, he even transformed the strongest Valkyrie in the history of Schicksal into his backup body. What is cross-dressing?

424. The class monitor, who was just fine a moment ago, suddenly went silent.

As long as you have no sense of shame, you won't feel ashamed of wearing women's clothing.

Otto, still dressed in women's clothing, struck a confident pose. Perhaps because his demeanor was too upright, Freya and the others couldn't bring themselves to mock the Grand Bishop for his cross-dressing.

In the reception room of the Schicksal Headquarters, Freya finished recounting the conversation that took place in the locker room the previous night.

Theresa still can't stop talking when she hears that she forced Otto to compromise.

"Of course, if you think he's in your way, I'll kill him right away."

"Welt, please believe in my sincerity. Faced with the Herrscher's threat, I will only give up everything and start from scratch..."

Otto, dressed as a woman, smiled wryly.

It's no wonder he acted this way; although Freya couldn't actually threaten his life, she certainly threatened his very lifeline.

The Mind Plague and Meme Attack are cutting each city apart, both in reality and online.

Otto had initially speculated that Freya was slowly increasing the number of people she controlled because the more people she influenced, the greater the burden on her body would be, and therefore she was deliberately slowing down the spread of the Mind Plague.

But now it seems that Freya's Mind Plague and Meme Attack spread slowly precisely so that she wouldn't let me guess her true purpose.

By the time he realized what was happening, all the branches of Schicksal were like isolated islands cut off from the outside world, and the Schicksal Headquarters was seized by Freya in an instant.

Otto was indeed able to abandon everything and leave the Schicksal Headquarters. After all, even if Freya destroyed his consciousness here, all he would lose were the memories that he hadn't had time to back up.

However, with Freya gradually dragging down the organization's logistics, even if he could escape the Schicksal Headquarters and ensure that Freya could never find him, he was still destined to be unable to fulfill his 'long-cherished wish'.

Therefore, rather than being defiant at that moment and provoking Freya to take action directly, Otto chose to lower his 'proud' head before Freya, even if it meant being humble and undignified, to beg Freya to let him stay...

Freya subconsciously pursed her lips.

You can only listen to one out of ten things someone says, and even that one sentence is bound to be missing a large portion of the important information.

She always felt that Otto was up to no good, so she really wanted to get rid of Otto. In any case, given the number of people she controlled, even if Otto hid a complete base and then used it to launch a rebellion, it wouldn't affect Freya's plans at all.

Moreover, given the sheer number of people Freya manipulates, Otto would be found immediately if he revealed even the slightest trace; the 300 million people she currently controls, directly or indirectly, are her eyes, ears, hands, and feet.

If Freya could be as willful and capricious in the original world as she is in this parallel world, she wouldn't have to worry about Otto hiding in the shadows.

Otto's speech sounded both timid and sincere, leaving Welt, Tesla, and the others speechless for a moment.

Looking at his former nemesis in this state, Welt sighed deeply.

"After all, we'll be fighting the Honkai together next. Having an extra helper might give us an extra good idea when fighting the Honkai."

After Welt finished sighing, he encouraged Otto.

"Thank you so much. Let's fight against the Honkai together."

Otto, dressed in women's clothing, acted like a Valkyrie, causing Freya, who was overhearing their conversation, to frown.

Although the Schicksal has been fighting on the front lines against the Honkai, Otto, who sent the Valkyrie to fight the Honkai creature, has always harbored different ideas.

Freya doubted the veracity of Otto's words, but it was hard to argue that Otto was sincere.

Clearly, he is good at demonstrating his sincerity.

Faced with her coercion last night, Otto chose to compromise, and then that very night, he elevated her authority to the same level as the Grand Bishop, no, even above the Grand Bishop.

Freya was able to easily give orders in place of Otto precisely because of Otto's cooperation.

He even actually handed over the Void Archive.

Because she found Otto too frightening, Freya did not immediately accept the Void Archive, but instead asked Otto to entrust Void Archive to a third party other than them for safekeeping.

And this person is none other than Bianca Durandal Atagina, the current strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal.

"... Forget it, don't overthink it. Given Otto's personality, he can be quite honest about being cowardly when he's at a disadvantage."

In order to imitate Otto, Freya studied Otto's behavior in various environments countless times.

Of course, although it was an illusion she constructed using the Herrscher of Consciousness, and it only appeared in her mind when she was trying to figure out Otto's thoughts, in her original world, she and Kiana failed to do this. Although they successfully forced Otto to fake his death and hide, they also left themselves with many hidden dangers.

Otto's honesty at this point was ultimately due to the crucial role she played in planning over a month.

Freya abandoned the idea of immediately familiarizing herself with the ability to traverse the Sea of Quantum, and instead focused all her attention on her ability as Herrscher of Consciousness, constantly stabilizing the dream world she created, thereby influencing more people through Mind Plague and Meme Attack.

Although Otto, who has backed down, will definitely cooperate with their actions, his previous seemingly heartfelt words were definitely not sincere, which made Freya always want to take the opportunity to get rid of him. But if she were to take action against Otto now, she might end up hurting the people she wants to protect in this parallel world.

Freya sighed inwardly; she was far less indifferent to this parallel world than she had imagined.

At this moment, Otto and Welt had a brief exchange. To reassure Welt, Otto assured him that he would absolutely not interfere with Freya's plan to save the world.

Whether it was due to Otto's past actions or not, Tesla and Einstein were clearly not so easily convinced of his abilities.

However, their attitude softened considerably after Otto granted them free access to the Schicksal database.

Even Einstein, who seemed to be devoid of desire, and Tesla, who was primarily driven by emotional thinking, abandoned their original principles in the face of such a sincere gift...

Of course, under other circumstances, they would never forgive Otto, nor would they ever believe Otto.

Now, however, they can clearly reach a consensus with Otto is now backing down, for the sake of the world's future.

Freya frowned slightly. From a certain perspective, Otto was able to gain the approval of Welt and the others largely because of the fact that he was forced by Freya.

Otto, now part of a vulnerable group, is clearly more trustworthy to them than Otto was when he was still the Grand Bishop of Schicksal.

Fortunately, this situation does not affect the overall situation. Freya admitted that she knew Otto had taken advantage of the situation, but she tacitly approved of Otto's actions.

If Otto doesn't back down, Freya can deal with him fair and square. But if he does back down, Freya will have to consider Theresa's feelings in this world.

No matter how much of a jerk Otto is in this parallel world, he is still Theresa's grandfather.

Just like in the original world, even though Otto gave her many bad memories when she was young, his kindness in raising her and the comfortable living environment he prepared for her were equally profound.

Freya had a grudge against Otto, but Otto had also been kind to her, and Freya never thought that the grudges and favors could be balanced out.

Basically, one repays kindness with kindness and avenges wrongs...

Freya felt that she had managed Schicksal quite well and had also taken good care of Theresa for him.

But Otto never gave her a chance to repay his kindness; instead, he gave her many opportunities to take revenge. It's a pity she didn't seize the opportunity three years ago; otherwise, she could have eliminated him there, which would have been a truly permanent solution.

Considering Theresa's feelings in this parallel world, Freya couldn't bring herself to kill prisoners after Otto surrendered. Most importantly, the sincerity he showed left Freya with no excuse.

Therefore, in order for the subsequent plans to proceed more smoothly, Freya did tacitly approve of Otto's use of his forced circumstances to gain sympathy from Tesla, Einstein, and others.

"Squad leader!! Squad leader!!!"

Just as Freya was frowning, pondering how to kill this shameless, invincible man without hurting Theresa's feelings, Kiki screamed.

Everyone's attention was drawn to her panicked state.

"What's wrong, Kiki? It's okay, your big sister is here."

Freya walked up to her, reached out and stroked her head, gently comforting her.

Looking at Kiki's trembling shoulders, Freya sensed that something she didn't know was happening.

"The class monitor is missing. He was fine just a moment ago, but suddenly he's gone silent."

Kiki's voice trembled, filled with an unprecedented fear of what had suddenly happened.

A few months ago, she survived because of Himeko- sensei's companionship, having saved her life.

On one hand, there is the fear of facing this unfamiliar world, and on the other hand, there is the fear of having her body taken over by the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin. It is because of her guidance that she is able to face and overcome her fear.

Now, Fu Hua, who had been her ghost for months, suddenly disappeared, as if all the bones in her body had been removed, and Kiki almost couldn't stand up.

"Calm down, Kiki. Your sister, your best friend, and your rather large aunt are all here with you. Tell me slowly what happened. What did Immortal Fu Hua say before she disappeared? Did she just disappear, or did the signal drop?"

"???"

Freya's gentle, comforting voice clearly carried a hint of malice. Theresa was shorter than Freya, twitched slightly at the corner of her eye, sensing that the description "quite big" was definitely malicious towards her.

For a moment, she didn't know whether it was better to comfort Kiki or to refute Freya's words.
