What exactly was going on?
Otto's curiosity was piqued. He had originally thought his role was limited to being the big boss within the ga; he hadn't expected to have an extra role in a "Lecture" series outside of it. Furthermore, the first one he got to explain was Kallen's S-rank battlesuit! This left Otto feeling extrely satisfied. A tutorial for Kallen's armor should, naturally, be handled by him!
With a light and pleasant mood, Otto played the new video.
[As the voice of Otto Apocalypse rings out, the CG rapidly displays various scenes. "I saw under the sun: In the place of judgnt, wickedness was there." "And in the place of justice, wickedness was there." "To guard the justice in one's heart, one must don the cloak of night..." "Here, I shall tell you everything regarding 'Sixth Serenade'."]
Accompanying Otto's comntary, Kallen's various experiences were presented in the video in a manga-style format. Kallen in her white nun's habit. Kallen in her phantom thief attire, wearing a mask. Serious Kallen, righteous Kallen... Kallen, so many Kallens! So many Kallens!!!
Otto truly wanted to give the video production team a bonus at this mont! Indeed, no matter the angle, Kallen was simply perfect!
["Becoming a phantom thief was rely a ga of her youth, but her heart of protection was utterly sincere." As Otto finishes speaking, the scene shifts to Kallen Kaslana in her thief outfit, holding her mask. — "Your heart, I shall take it."]
Otto felt as if his heart had been struck directly. Heart? Heart? Taking my heart? Take it, take it all! As long as you are willing, forget my heart—I'll give you everything I have!
Amber: "?"
Amber looked at Otto with a strange expression. She saw Otto's hand holding the controller trembling slightly, but his facial expression remained unchanged, as still as a deep well. Was she overthinking it?
Amber had no idea that her respected President was currently undergoing a massive ntal storm. If he let out a giddy laugh in front of his secretary, his career as President would likely be over. Therefore, he could only maintain a forced calm, using years of practiced stoicism to mask his emotions!
["Like day and night are two sides of the sa coin, the nun and the phantom thief are reflections of each other."]
Pfft! Such chuunibyou-sounding words coming from his own mouth? But for describing Kallen, they were actually quite fitting!
The Otto in the tutorial video introduced all the gaplay chanics for Kallen's character, even bringing in other Valkyries to form a team for a live demonstration. After a series of fluid maneuvers, the in-video Otto added one last remark with great solemnity:
["After all, Kallen is the strongest Valkyrie..."]
He couldn't agree more! Kallen is the strongest Valkyrie!! Otto Apocalypse could not hide his excitent; he stood bolt upright on the spot, offering his highest respect to the strongest Valkyrie!!
"?" Amber watched as Otto suddenly stood up, his body as stiff as a soldier on parade, and another question mark popped into her head. "Is sothing wrong, Lord Otto?"
Though Otto was standing at attention, his expression remained frozen. He was a master of disguise; even if he was screaming with joy inside, he kept a wooden, expressionless face. "Mhm, it's nothing. I'm going to the restroom."
Otto left his desk and headed toward the restroom. Amber's brow furrowed. When Otto first found out Kallen's battlesuit was being added, he looked excited. But why, after watching a tutorial video... did he act like a different person? Could he be feeling unwell? As a secretary, paying attention to the President's health was important.
Amber sighed and dialed a number. By the ti Otto returned, she had just finished the call. Otto looked curious: "Is it sothing about work?"
Amber replied, "Lady Kallen is on her way here."
Otto was surprised, but a smile quickly followed. "Kallen? Though it's a bit sudden, she is always welco."
"Mhm..." Amber hesitated before speaking again. "Not just Lady Kallen... Miss Sakura is coming as well."
Otto's mouth twitched, but his smile remained fixed. "Miss Yae... naturally, there is no problem. Since Kallen is coming, it's only right. She and I are 'close,' 'best friends,' after all..."
When he said "best friends," Otto clearly emphasized the words.
Were they really best friends? Kallen might not know—well, she really didn't know; for so reason, the Kaslanas were all a lineage of idiots with zero self-awareness. But as a secretary, how could Amber not know? The relationship between Otto and Yae Sakura was "like fire and water." It couldn't be summarized simply as "hating each other to the extre," as they wouldn't start brawling on the spot or try to stab each other...
"It's all Lady Kallen's fault," Amber thought, sighing and shaking her head. She still couldn't forget the day she witnessed Kallen, Yae Sakura, and Otto together... Kallen had reached out, grabbing one of Otto's hands and one of Sakura's, saying in a gentle tone:
"Otto, Sakura... you are both the most important people in my life. I hope the three of us can live together happily ever after from now on..."
Amber: "???"
At that ti, Amber was utterly shocked. Lady Kallen, you've got so serious 'main character' energy. Is this a plot from a harem novel?
"Isn't this kind of thing quite common? People in high positions naturally have unique traits," Rita Rossweisse had once comnted. But she was a hardcore Theresa-con; the testimony of a pervert had no reference value, as perverts naturally find the behavior of other perverts normal.
"Your Grandpa and Auntie Sakura... their relationship can't be summarized in one sentence. Should I call them love rivals or rivals? Though they might not realize it themselves, through all these years of bickering, they have actually beco indispensable to one another," Otto's granddaughter, Theresa Apocalypse, had evaluated.
"Kallen is so cool! As expected of the strongest woman of the Kaslanas! I want to learn from her too!!" This was a comnt from Kiana Kaslana.
As Otto prepared to start pulling for cards, his peripheral vision caught Yae Sakura's Valkyrie banner. He switched to it, not expecting it to also have a tutorial video. A tutorial for that Yae Sakura person? For real? This was more painful than killing him! Otto clicked the video, wanting to see what it was.
However, this ti it didn't jump to the video site. Instead, a comnt image popped up:
[Not promising, not recomnded — Otto]
Pfft. Otto almost laughed out loud. After all that, he thought there would be a tutorial, but it was just a negative review? Although he didn't know how it got there, it truly hit the spot!!
At that mont, the office door was slamd open, and a frantic Kallen rushed in! "Otto! Are you okay?"
Clad in sumr attire and carrying several bags, Kallen burst in, fine beads of sweat on her forehead. Behind her was Yae Sakura, wearing a matching sumr outfit, with a hint of mischief in her eyes—her smirk was almost impossible to suppress.
"Kallen? You're here?" Although he knew she was coming, Otto hadn't asked Amber the reason.
Kallen explained: "Sakura and I were shopping, but when we heard you weren't feeling well, Sakura imdiately dragged back..."
She was just stating a fact. But to anyone else, the key point was "Sakura imdiately dragged Kallen back." It might look like Otto and Yae Sakura got along well. But Otto knew... his gaze t Yae Sakura's.
After a mont, Yae Sakura sighed with apparent regret: "It seems you are quite healthy. Had I known, I would have continued my date with Kallen."
Just as I thought. That fox... she just wanted to see in a pathetic state!
"I appreciate Miss Yae's concern. However, it's quite sunny outside; what if Kallen's skin gets tanned?" "Isn't that sothing Mr. Otto should worry about? After all, girls have their secret weapons." "Is that so? Rushing back at the first opportunity to care for a friend like —Miss Yae is truly considerate." "Not at all. If anything were to happen to Mr. Otto's health, it would be quite a headache for as well..." "Hehe..." "Haha..."
They appeared to be speaking normally, calmly, and with smiles. But between their words, sparks were flying, and a powerful vortex of gravity seed to be spreading outward.
"If I get caught in this battle, even I will be torn to shreds..." Amber witnessed this terrifying storm and imdiately retreated. She could not stay here!
However, Kallen, who was at the center of the storm, acted as if nothing were wrong. No, she's not acting... Lady Kallen simply hasn't noticed the war between them from the very beginning!!
Amber realized once again how powerful the Kaslana genes were! No, if this continued, she would be the first to break down! Amber made the wise choice of a strategic retreat, leaving the office to the three of them. She did not want to be caught in that storm!
Seemingly oblivious to the tension, Kallen walked to Otto's desk and looked at the gacha interface, shouting in surprise. "Oh, is that ? Are those my Valkyrie armors in the ga?"
Kallen's exclamation piqued Yae Sakura's interest. She walked up behind Otto, looking at the [Sixth Serenade]on the cover, and was also surprised. "The production is quite good. This armor of Kallen's is indeed beautiful."
Kallen grabbed the mouse and switched to the nto and Miko banners. "Hmm? Sakura? Look, there's a banner... it's your armor! Gyakushinn Miko? Sakura looks so beautiful in a shrine maiden outfit!"
Otto quickly switched back to Kallen's banner. He glanced at Yae Sakura: "nto? Miko? The tutorial video for those only has one sentence—Not promising, not recomnded!"
