"Good night, and have a sweet dream."
Amber bowed and walked out the door.
Yaezakura looked at the closed door for a long time before she sighed with disappointment.
"Even though Mr. Otto has already explained it, it really looks too much like Karin..."
"Do you think I desecrated her?"
Otto's deep voice suddenly rang out in the house.
Yaesakura seemed to be startled. She looked around and finally realized that the sound came from all directions. She couldn't find the specific source, nor could she see Otto himself.
Then, she sat down on the sofa in the living room, thought for a while, and said:
"This is what is called a human experiment, right? I got this concept from the memory fragments of Hidamaru."
“Indeed.”
"Well, to be honest, I feel a little uncomfortable. However, I can sense that your feelings for Karen are no less than mine, right? So, Mr. Otto must have your reasons for doing this!"
"...Ha! The first thing to remember when living in this era is that you must not trust Otto Apocalis too much. Come on, you have a guest, and it would be rude to disturb you again."
Otto paused for a moment, his words carrying an ambiguous emotion, and then cut off the signal.
……
"As expected, if even you, who is not very knowledgeable, think that something is wrong, then it is even more unlikely that Karen will like this kind of thing."
After finishing his brief observation on a whim, Otto laughed at himself.
He felt jealous again.
Yaesakura has never tarnished Karen's will, so she can be so pure and calm, completely sure that when she reaches the end of her life, Karen will greet her with a smile and a hug.
That was a mentality he would never dare to hope for.
It is precisely because of this that he made this plan that was unconditional for himself - to save Karen, and then be abandoned by the world and stay away from Karen's life forever. This is the best ending for Otto Apokalis.
So, Otto is now very hesitant.
The power of the Erosion Key is unquestionable, and it can play a vital role. And with Otto's ability to speak, it is not difficult to convince Yaezakura to contribute to his plan.
However, Yaezakura is another trace left by Karen, and she is the only person besides him who can still remember and miss Karen. This fact makes Otto very reluctant to tarnish the purity of Yaezakura.
In other words, he knew deep down that Karen would not want to see Yaesakura dragged into this trouble by him.
"Ugh……"
The heavy sigh revealed Otto's indecisive and hesitant state of mind.
He thought that after the plan was completed, there would be nothing in the world that could shake him, but now it seems that this is not the case!
……
"Welcome to the Destiny Headquarters. I knew we would become colleagues!"
Yulandel walked into Yaesakura's room, looked around, took the snack basket from Rita, and handed it to Yaesakura with a bright smile.
Yaesakura blinked blankly, took the thing, and said in surprise:
"Thank you, so you live around here too?"
"Well, let me introduce myself formally. I am Bianca Yulandel Atagena, an S-class Valkyrie of destiny. This is Rita Roseweisse, also an S-class Valkyrie. You can just call us Yulandel and Rita."
"I'm Yaesakura, you can call me Sakura. Although I don't know what Mr. Otto will assign me to do, please give me your guidance!"
With a Far Eastern style bow, Yaesakura solemnly introduced herself to the two "strange" Valkyries.
Yulandel politely returned the greeting, then started chatting with Yaezakura, asking her all kinds of questions.
Rita narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Mr. Otto... This is a way of addressing me as an equal, and her attitude is not as respectful as that of ordinary Valkyries. It seems that she is a lady with an extraordinary background!"
With some understanding of the changes in the workplace, Rita joined the conversation and easily learned a lot of information - so easily that she broke out in a cold sweat.
"A person from five hundred years ago, the lover of Saint Karen, the symbiote and controller of the Erosion Key, the friend of Archbishop Otto... I won't be drowned in the Mediterranean tomorrow, right?"
Seeing Yulandel's pure expression of amazement, Rita regretted her rashness in following her.
She doesn't have the unparalleled fighting power of Yulandel. If she gets to know the confidential information about Archbishop Otto, she might be doomed!
"Can girls and girls be lovers?"
Yulandel, who had no love history, did not notice Rita's anxiety. She was just shocked by Yaezakura's claim that she was Karin's lover.
Actually, although there were many Valkyries in pairs in Destiny, there was still a distance between Yulandel and ordinary Valkyries, and no one specifically talked about this in public, so she really didn't understand this situation.
Even if she occasionally came across some seemingly sweet scenes, under the influence of experienced drivers like Rita, Yulandel only regarded them as the close friendship between girls and never thought about it further.
Therefore, Yaesakura's words were like opening the door to a new world for her.
Rita sat up straight.
"Lord Yulandel, true love has nothing to do with gender. What matters is the feelings between two people, so there is no need to be surprised."
“It seems to make sense.”
"There is no difference between same-sex love and opposite-sex love. As long as they love each other, they should all be blessed."
“Indeed.”
Yulandel had a teachable expression on her face, as if she was thinking about something, but she nodded in approval.
And Rita's smile became even brighter and more charming.
The risk of snooping is no longer important. After all, if it is information that cannot be known, Archbishop Otto will not be unprepared. Therefore, if this opportunity can be used to let Yulandel open up, then it is worth taking a little risk!
With the realization that nothing ventured could gain anything, Rita began to turn the topic to the past of Yaesakura and Karen.
But that is a romantic and sad story.
Yulandel gained a story that made her feel deeply moved and savored it for a long time.
Rita was happy to let Yulandel immerse herself and think.
As for Yaezakura, she didn't deliberately guide anything, nor did she need to, but she gained a very high favorability in the hearts of the two people just by relying on the real history. After tonight, she has initially gained a foothold in the upper echelons of destiny.
All in all, it was a win-win night.
……
"Amber is responsible for teaching you some general knowledge to help you understand this world. Rita is responsible for teaching you some common sense and skills to help you adapt to life better. In addition, I have arranged combat training for you in Yulandel. Although your starting point (harmony) is very high, you still need more training to perfectly control this power."
"Oh...Okay, then I'll follow Mr. Otto's instructions. I'll try my best not to cause you any trouble!"
Yaesakura bowed to the serious Otto.
Otto frowned, and after a moment, he put on a natural smile.
"Alright, alright, no need to be so polite. We are Karen's only remaining friends and confidants. We can also be considered friends, right?"
"But I... I don't have any other friends besides Karen. I don't know what to do."
Yaesakura raised her head, a look of confusion on her face.
Otto's smile grew.
"What a coincidence! I don't have many friends either. We just need to be considerate of each other."
"Huh? Mr. Otto is such a powerful person, would he lack friends?"
"Of course there are many people who want to be my friend, but unfortunately, the people who catch my eye often look down on me. The world is so funny, isn't it?"
Otto said sarcastically, shaking his head in dismay.
Fu Hua and Joyce were the few people he truly admired and recognized in his 500 years of life. But the former was always more cautious than trusting him, and as for the latter - the words "Tyrant in the sky, see the stars shattered" are still vivid in his mind!
"That's right. I only like good people who have something in common with Karin. How can they like me with blood on my hands? You are the same. When you get to know me better, I guess you will want to stay away from me."
"Although I don't understand, since you've mentioned this, I will observe and judge carefully."
Yaesakura hesitated for a while, but finally responded seriously.
Otto smiled contentedly.
"Haha! That's the attitude we need! Yaesakura, live well, learn and understand this era well, and then follow your heart and make your choice. That's enough!"
Because this must be what Karen wants to see.
Otto smiled sincerely and watched Yaesakura leave the room, feeling a little happy in his heart - at least when it came to Yaesakura, he hadn't disappointed Karin, had he?
After arranging Yaesakura's affairs, Otto picked up a file on the table and flipped through it, looking thoughtful.
"The progress of cracking the Thousand Worlds Ichijo is not going smoothly. It seems that I need to spend more time on it. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Yaezakura's power. There are risks. Otherwise, if I rely on the power of the Erosion Key, I won't have to think so hard."
Otto felt a little regretful, stood up, and went to the area where the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle was placed.
The Second God Key is also part of the plan, and it is very important and cannot be lost. So for the next period of time, he will devote all his energy to cracking it.
Chapter 147 If You Don't Do Well as a Valkyrie, You Will Inherit the Family Business
"Part of it looks like a human, part of it looks like a Dishonorable Beast, and part of it looks like a Herrscher. How can such a messy structure be forcibly held together?"
Otto made a tactical backward move, with an expression similar to that of an old man on the subway looking at his mobile phone.
At this time, Yaesakura, who had just adapted and studied at the headquarters for a few days, came to the archbishop's office after receiving the summons. She drank tea, looked around with her gentle eyes, and did not react.
Just like his reaction when Otto asked for some hair and blood samples a few days ago, he was completely calm and completely indifferent.
Then Otto sighed and shook his head, saying:
"You'd better remember to carry the Jizo Soul with you. Right now, it is the power of erosion that helps you balance and maintain this chaotic body. If you lose it, I will not be surprised at all."
"Huh? Oh, thank you, Mr. Otto."
Yaesakura smiled softly.
She acted as if she didn't care about her health at all, but she stroked the sword on her knee thoughtfully, with tenderness in her eyes, as if she was expressing silent gratitude to someone in the sword.
Otto crossed his fingers, held his chin, leaned forward, and said with some concern:
"I understand your mentality, but you must cherish this precious life that you have lost and regained. This is definitely what Karen wants, and it is also what that Hidamaru wants."
"I understand. But is it okay for Mr. Otto to take the time out for something like this? I remember you seemed very busy."
"Nothing. The analysis of the God Key is boring, and I just want to change my mood once in a while."
Otto spread his hands nonchalantly with a relaxed and happy smile.
It was really just out of boredom. Doing a physical examination and analysis on Yaesakura was to relax my brain, and chatting with this wonderful friend was to relax my mood.
He had no doubts at all, and even less after the examination.
After all, only a powerful force like the power of erosion can integrate the chaotic genetic structure. The history with Karin is real, and the body that can only be maintained by the power of erosion is also real. It is impossible for anyone to set such a trap for Otto at the moment.
Otto, I can't think of anything to doubt.
Suddenly, Yaesakura seemed to remember something.
"Oh, by the way, I have to go to the library to look for the books that Miss Amber gave me. Mr. Otto, do you have anything else to do?"
"Not at the moment. Goodbye."
Otto smiled and watched the witch, who was gentle to everyone but always had a vague air about her, as if she could disappear at any time like smoke, leave the room. Then, a look of helplessness appeared in his eyes.
Soon, Rita, the always graceful and perfect maid, walked into the office.
"How is the observation going?"
Otto asked in a deep voice.
Of the three people who had contact with Yaezakura, Amber was reliable in her ability to handle affairs, but unfortunately she was ignorant of her own personality and emotions, let alone observing other people's hearts. As for Yulan Daier, those who understand will understand, so there is no need to say more.
Therefore, the only one who can observe Yaesakura's personality and state of mind is Rita, who has a broad mind and is good at guessing people's hearts.
"During these days, Sakura-sama has been very serious about adapting to modern life and learning modern knowledge. She always tries her best to complete the work and tasks we arrange. She is tireless and very smart. But at the same time, she seems to have no interest in the wider and richer outside world and never actively contacts people and things outside of our arrangements."
"In general, Sakura-sama is a person with a quiet appearance and a strong heart. She is very feminine, but..."
Rita hesitated for a moment, as if trying to form her words.
Then, she continued with some worry:
"But I always feel something is wrong. She has mastered the use of modern tools, and her tea art and cooking skills have been highly praised by Lady Yulandel. She has also quickly learned English and won praise from Lady Kohaku for her simple liberal arts education. But no matter what kind of achievement it is, I only see peace on Lady Sakura's face, not joy."
