Chapter 101

Your Excellency, this is not just a scandal for the Apocalypse Family. If these photos were to get out, it would be a scandal for the entire Schicksal!

Durandal felt as if Bishop Otto was trampling and grinding Schicksal integrity into the ground.

Sue: "Even someone as cautious as Bishop Otto managed to get himself caught. It seems the person who got the photos is no ordinary person."

Pardofelis: "No ordinary person would try to blackmail the Bishop of Schicksal with photos of him in women's clothing. If I were to sell them on the black market, the price might be quite substantial."

Raiden Mei: "Pardo, your idea is dangerous!"

Selling photos of the Bishop of Schicksal in women's clothing—I must say, your idea is quite disturbing and even troubling.

Mei thought Pardofelis was very brave, and she felt inferior to her.

However, Pardo did this kind of reselling business when she was in Dusk Street, so maybe she really does have that kind of courage.

Theresa: "A maid? If we're talking about a capable maid, I can think of someone."

Durandal: "You're not talking about Rita, are you? Impossible, she's my adjutant, Schicksal's most trusted general!"

Although Rita is a bit cunning, Durandal felt that she definitely... wouldn't do such a thing, after all, it was a matter of Schicksal's reputation.

In the scene, Conan Doyle sees Bishop Otto in a photo and is laughing so hard that Otto, standing next to him, can't help but smile.

"Mr. Doyle, you don't need to laugh so exaggeratedly."

Otto chimed in with a sarcastic remark.

At this point, he began to doubt whether bringing the envelope to Detective Doyle was the right decision.

"You misunderstand, Mr. Doyle was just thinking about something happy," Fu Hua explained from the side.

She actually wanted to laugh too, but she kept holding it in out of respect for the detective agency.

"Yes, leave this to me, sir."

"Oh, then I'll leave it to you two. I'll offer a generous reward after it's done."

Conan Doyle accepted Otto's detective commission to investigate a woman named Irene.

The video ends here.

Kiana: "Class monitor, you were a detective before?"

Pardofelis: "Really? That Conan Doyle Detective Agency, and Bishop Otto seeking help, it all seems fake."

Elysia: "If it were World Bubble..."

In the World Bubble Otto, Riot can become a priest, Rita can transform into [Kevin] and overpower Durandal.

So it makes perfect sense for Fu Hua to become a detective.

Fu Hua: "Uh, to be honest, I did have some experience as a detective back in London."

Danzhu: "Wow! It's actually true! Chi Yuan, you went to London to be a detective or something."

Cang Xuan: "Won't this lead to a wrongful conviction?"

Fu Hua: "Cough cough cough! Cang Xuan, Danzhu, you two should at least have some faith in me."

She admitted that she was a bit Old Timer and that her mind was sometimes not as sharp as her Herrscher of Sentience skills, but she still had five thousand years of life experience (although she spent more than four thousand years pickling vegetables in the mountains).

With her skills as the Immortal Crimson Bird, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for her to be a detective and catch criminals in London?

Cang Xuan: "Hey, just kidding. After all, Chi Yuan, you're such a Blockhead. This is experience that Danzhu and I have come up with."

Danzhu: "Are there really no wrongful convictions or miscarriages of justice?"

Fu Hua: "Of course not! To be honest, when I was solving cases in London, I was extremely cautious and never let go of a single clue. I was known in the underworld as [Fu Holmes]."

Theresa: "Really? Fu Hua, are you that amazing?"

Welt: "It's true, Fu Holmes's name did indeed appear in London."

Theresa: "Welt, you even know about this kind of gossip?"

The headmistress was somewhat puzzled. Did her trusted lieutenant know too much? How come she seemed to have more life experience than she did?

Welt: "It's just a hobby in my spare time. I occasionally draw comics to collect materials, and I can always find some clues."

Theresa: "Great comic, great comic! When your comic is published, remember to send me some free limited editions."

Welt: "Alright... then."

While saying yes, Welt was already cursing Theresa in his mind. "You actually want free collectible Humo comics?"

Do you know how much a limited edition costs...? Uh, speaking of which, Theresa is a loyal sucker of the Humo comics... one of her fans.

A large portion of the Anti-Entropy funding in Welt's possession came from this S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal.

Kiana: "But we still don't seem to know why Bishop Otto cross-dresses. Could it really be just his personal hobby?"

Theresa: "No, that shouldn't be possible."

The thought of her grandfather made Theresa uncertain, because she couldn't imagine who could force Otto to cross-dress unless Otto so willingly.

Could it be that her grandfather, the Bishop of Schicksal, really is a cross-dressing pervert?!

[Q&A begins.]

Why did Otto become someone who wears women's clothing?

[A: Because of personal interest.]

[B: To help Kallen become a phantom thief.]

[C: To debut as an idol.]

[D: In order to become the Bishop of Schicksal.]

Theresa: "The last option... becoming Bishop of Schicksal. Is there any necessary connection between becoming Bishop of Schicksal and cross-dressing?"

What kind of weird options are these?

Theresa silently lowered her head, pondering whether the Bishop of Schicksal had a rule that it could only teach women.

But clearly, she was far from being able to secure the position of Bishop of Schicksal, so how could she know about these things?

Elysia: "Maybe she'll debut as an idol! Miss Theresa, as the heir to Schicksal, you need to become an idol to gain credibility as soon as possible and debut as an idol! If it's Miss Theresa, she'll definitely be popular, don't you think, Eden?"

Eden: "If it were Miss Theresa, I think you would definitely shine on stage."

Theresa: "Really? Thank you... Wait, when did I say I wanted to become an idol? And is there any necessary connection between these two things?"

Theresa was almost completely bewildered by Elysia's words; Eden's approval still left Theresa feeling a bit dizzy.

The idea that one must become an idol before becoming Bishop of Schicksal is utter nonsense!

Elysia: "Huh? Theresa doesn't want to become an idol? That's such a shame, don't you think, Eden?"

Eden: "..."

Although Eden knew Elysia was just having fun, he was genuinely troubled by this problem.

To be honest, she acknowledged the criteria for Theresa to become an idol, but Theresa herself was somewhat resistant to it.

Chapter 167 Phantom Thief Kallen

Kiana: "Auntie, why don't you listen to Elysia? If you become an idol, you can earn money to support St. Freya Academy."

Himeko Murata: "That's right, that means we'll have Teacher Welt salaries sorted out!"

Theresa: "You guys!!!"

Impossible, she could never become an idol.

I'm a mature adult. If I were to become an idol, where would that leave the dignity of the headmistress of the St. Freya Academy? Where would that leave my status Schicksal S-rank Valkyrie?

Even if Eden vouched for her, promising she would become an outstanding idol, Theresa would never admit it!

Sue: "I choose B, to help Kallen become a phantom thief."

[Correct answer.]

Kiana: "Wait, so this is the correct answer, Sue? How did you know the inside story?"

Sue: "Because I saw the bishop's will in the illusion."

Himeko Murata: "Kallen, is Saintess Kallen of Schicksal from five hundred years ago?"

Thanks to her excellent knowledge of history, Teacher Himeko quickly found Kallen's identity, but she was slightly surprised that the Bishop of Schicksal had been cross-dressing five hundred years ago.

Theresa: "That saint actually wants to become a phantom thief? And Grandpa is willing to help her?"

Even five hundred years later, the Valkyrie of Schicksal still remember the deeds of Saintess Kallen and regard her as an idol.

Kiana: "That Kallen must be a phantom thief who upholds justice!"

[Congratulations to Su for winning the reward: the chess manual "Universal Harmony".]

[Introduction: The Heavenly Origin Positioning Method involves placing the first piece on the center point (Tengen). Regardless of how the game unfolds, the first piece on the center point can always be supported. All land under heaven belongs to the king, hence the Universal Harmony. This skill is astonishing and beyond the reach of ordinary people.]

Su: "?!!"

He was already prepared to get the Life Coin and go back to his Previous Era to work overtime, but you just threw a chess manual called "The Universal Harmony" at him.

What does that mean?

The Herrscher of Reason: "There really is an ancient way of playing Go where the first piece is placed at the center point. Old Timer, why don't I remember it?"

Fu Hua: "Don't ask me, I don't remember it either."

Under heaven, all land belongs to the king; from the very beginning, he controlled the entire game. What kind of divine intervention could have achieved this?

Elysia: "Su, this seems to mean you should prepare for another round with that person from the higher dimension."

Su: "Yeah, that game was undecided, and I was actually quite concerned about it too."

It's impossible not to feel regret when such an important game is forcibly pulled back halfway through by the system.

Even if I died once and went back, the game would probably be scrapped and I'd have to start all over again.

Do you know how deep Sue's resentment is?

In the scene, Kallen sits in her study, holding a purple mask in her hand, her blue eyes gleaming.

Otto!

Kallen suddenly stood up and looked at her friend, the determination in her eyes proving that she had made up her mind.

"I've got a great idea! Let's steal that old geezer's gold coins!"

"Old geezer?" Otto asked, puzzled.

"That Viktor must have embezzled a lot of gold coins with the indulgences. I'm going to steal them and return them to everyone. I want him to know that justice still exists in this world!"

The church's beliefs claim that everyone is born sinful and that to atone for their sins, they must purchase what they call indulgences.

During the day, Kallen witnessed Viktor using this pretext to oppress ordinary people, forcing them to buy indulgences, but she was powerless to do anything about it.

Kallen clenched her fists and looked at the blond man beside her. "Help me, Otto."

"Let me become a great phantom thief!"

"..."

Otto knew this was a very unwise thing to do, because what Kallen was about to do was tantamount to going against the will of Schicksal.

Indulgences are inherently linked to the interests of the church.

But seeing Kallen's determined expression, he could only nod in agreement. "Alright then, let's start with the costumes."

"Otto, is it really better for the phantom thief to dress like this?"

After trying on an outfit, Kallen adjusted her tall hat in front of the mirror. "Won't this hat fall off?"

The monocle didn't cover my face at all, and no matter what clothes I chose, I always felt they weren't suitable for moving around.

After rummaging through her wardrobe for a long time, Kallen finally found a purple outfit to match her eye mask.

"By the way, Otto, why do you have so many clothes, and why do they all fit you so well?"

Kallen pointed to the large patch of clothing she had just changed out of and asked.

"It's a secret, Kallen. Now take a look at the little gadgets I prepared for you."

Otto brought out some of his small inventions.
