[Tesla: Otto really...can't say anything nice!]
Durandal:
however.
To everyone's surprise...
in the picture.
Otto's reckless behavior continues.
“Alright, Kiana Kaslana. That’s fine, after all, the real owner of that name became like that ten years ago.”
""
Suddenly.
Theresa's brow twitched.
But Otto seemed completely oblivious to the change in atmosphere.
Theresa? You seem to have something to say.
"you"
Theresa's eyes widened; she was clearly annoyed by Otto.
“It’s alright, Theresa. You don’t have to force yourself to say anything. Your grandfather has done many unreasonable things, and he knows it very well.”
"Next, there may be more earth-shattering events happening to you—at that time, you may feel that you shouldn't have wasted even a tiny bit of your feelings on your grandfather, the Goddess of Flower Sprinkling. Whether it's positive or negative, it won't matter anymore."
Otto said to Theresa meaningfully.
Regarding his granddaughter...
Otto ultimately couldn't keep provoking the other party.
Theresa frowned even more at Otto, who was like a riddle master.
"—What does this mean? What will your journey ultimately bring?"
"You'll find out soon enough, so I don't need to explain it here. Don't worry, those things pose absolutely no danger to you."
Otto smiled gently at Theresa, his tone relaxed.
Then she looked at Durandal and the others.
"Durandal, Rita, report to me at the Dawn Observation Deck on Kaslana Street. I need you to stand guard until the very end."
"The rest of you, let's part ways amicably and say goodbye."
The words fell.
The blond bishop abruptly cut off the remote communication, leaving the people present looking at each other in bewilderment.
"That wretched old man! Is he even speaking human language? If it weren't for the messy-haired guy covering my mouth, I would have smashed his head open!"
"Tesla, he used those words simply to provoke us. But if he really intends to just walk away like this..."
Walter frowned slightly.
Why should he provoke us?
"So you mean he might still have designs on us...?"
Fu Hua, resting her chin on her hand, offered her judgment.
"If we consider it from this perspective, then all his appalling behavior today can indeed be explained. But—what good does it do to anger us, or even those around him? And how can it help him achieve his goal?"
After a brief period of provocation.
Everyone present noticed that Otto was acting strangely.
The words that were just used to mock a group of people.
The performance did feel a bit too staged.
If what Otto said is true, he has no reason to go to such lengths to provoke everyone again.
It might even lead to people hindering his plans!
Otto must have had other, unknown motives for doing this!
[Tesla: Hmph! The real me isn't so easily provoked!]
[Einstein: Dr. Tesla, you seem to have broken two cups at the base just now.]
Tesla: You're such a mess!
Kiana: But I have to say... Otto's provocative words are very good at getting to the heart of the matter...
[Honkai Impact 3rd - Himeko: Otto definitely has other unspeakable secrets!]
[Thunderous Movie: Is this a form of reverse psychology...? Why?]
Charlotte: We really have to take it one step at a time!!
on the screen.
After some discussion, no conclusion was reached, so they could only take it one step at a time.
Durandal and Rita followed Otto's instructions and headed to their destination to carry out their mission.
On the way, they ran into Li Sushang, who had nothing better to do.
"...Miss Li? You're here too."
"Please call me by my full name. It always feels a bit off when you're being so polite."
Li Sushang observed the rather serious expressions on Yulandel and Rita's faces.
She realized that these two people knew even less about the Rakshasa's plan than she did.
"But the bishop really didn't tell you about this? No wonder he told me not to approach you and Hyperion's group casually."
"It seems that His Excellency the Bishop wants to keep this a secret from us until the very last moment."
"Hmm... I feel like things have become more complicated than I thought... After all, all the S-rank Valkyries are gathered here now."
Li Sushang imitated Otto, resting her chin on her hand while thinking.
"Just yesterday, he used a lot of strange and unusual terms on me, like the tree of imaginary numbers and higher-dimensional space..."
"And it seems to be closely related to time; those phenomena in the town were probably deliberately caused by him."
Following Li Sushang's revelations.
Durandal continued to ask
Did he tell you what his purpose was in doing all this?
Asking for flowers
"Huh? I knew that from the very beginning. Or rather, I sensed it five hundred years ago?"
Speaking of which...
Li Sushang's expression became more serious.
"Doesn't Schicksal have a Valkyrie known as the 'Saintess'? Kallen Kaslana, right? You should know that she is the Rakshasa—no, the Bishop's childhood friend."
Li Sushang paused for a second or two at this point.
"How should I put it? His longing for that person even makes me feel very lonely. A long time ago, in the desert, he sat there all alone for a whole night... You should be able to understand that feeling, right?"
"So, you think he's serious? He's really meticulously planning this to resurrect Kallen Kaslana?"
Durandal still found it somewhat unbelievable.
But Li Sushang's expression was very strange.
They looked at Durandal and Rita with great curiosity.
It was as if this was common knowledge.
"Is it the way he expresses himself that makes you think he's joking? He's always been very serious."
"Moreover, the reason he woke me from my deep dormancy was precisely because his resurrection plan had entered its final stage."
Suddenly.
Rita realized something
"Lady Li Sushang...are you saying that the very fact that you were recently awakened by the bishop means that, in his view, he is quite confident that he can [resurrect] the saintess from five hundred years ago?!"
"Yes, that's right, after all, it was his promise to me!"
Li Sushang nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
The Rakshasa people have never lied to her, not five hundred years ago, and she believes they will not lie to her five hundred years from now.
This is Otto, the Otto who will never break his promises.
"As you probably know, I was seriously injured in an accident five hundred years ago. At that time, such injuries were very difficult to cure completely."
"So the Rakshasa—the bishop—put me into a deep hibernation until he figured out a way to cure me."
"Regardless of his personal reputation in other aspects... on the ground up, he is undoubtedly my savior."
"And five hundred years ago, when he asked me, 'If everything goes well, in what kind of future would you like to awaken again?'—"
"Out of curiosity about him, I didn't choose the era of [humanity's victory over the Honkai], but instead chose the era of [you achieving your wish]."
"At that time, I really wanted to witness the moment he realized his dream. I guess that was a kind of inexplicable selfish desire."
At this point, Li Sushang's face flushed slightly.
Rita was somewhat astonished upon hearing these words.
"In other words, by this logic... the current bishop is very confident that he can realize his [dream]."
"Is that so? And most people will suffer undeservedly because of this. I heard that the Herrscher of the Void incident was like that."
And Li Sushang's answer.
This made Durandal, Rita, and everyone in front of the screen serious.
Li Sushang clearly knew a lot about Otto's plans.
And what comes out of her mouth... will most likely cause someone to suffer an undeserved disaster.
Credibility will also be greatly enhanced.
In other words... Otto's scheme could very well cause harm to many people!
Durandal immediately looked at the last S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny.
"...Are you planning to stop him?"
"I regret that I cannot break the promise I made to my savior."
Li Sushang shook her head firmly, her expression brimming with chivalry and江湖义气 (a sense of chivalry and martial arts).
"Besides, that person has already kept his promise to me once. You think he could have easily chosen not to treat me or wake me up—couldn't he?"
"However, I have no right to interfere with your actions; but you should not expect my resolve to waver in any way."
"In short, if I'm determined to get to the bottom of the bishop's plans—you won't stop me, will you?"
“That’s right. Although I did hope to witness the day when he fulfilled his wish five hundred years ago, one thing is one thing, and I have no reason to interfere in any of your disputes.”
"Of course, if you really decide to take action to stop him, then you should be prepared to be fully prepared."
"After all, whatever the details of his plan may be—it represents all his obsessions over the past five hundred years."
The spirited young woman in front of him gave him a serious and earnest reminder.
She is full of chivalrous spirit.
He has no intention of betraying Otto in any way or breaking his promise.
But there's no reason to stop Durandal and the others from going to Otto to find out the truth.
All she could do was not violate her principles and... witness the moment Otto's wish came true.
