"Thank you, Mei-san!"

"Thank you."

Chapter 146 Rita's Night Raid

As everyone sat down and prepared to start eating, Theresa felt someone staring at her from the side.

When she followed the gaze, she met Himeko's eyes.

From the moment they sat down, Himeko had been staring at Theresa. Although she didn't speak, her meaning was clear: "What are you doing here? Came here to freeload? And you brought these two along? Have you forgotten about this apartment?"

However, although Theresa received it, she only received half of it.

She didn't grasp Himeko's second half of her thought, only assuming that Himeko wanted to know why she was there.

Theresa then explained the whole story, but as Himeko listened to Theresa's self-absorbed analysis, she felt her blood pressure rise a little.

Theresa slacks off at work every day, either reading comics or playing games. There are many things in the academy that even her assistant and Himeko don't know.

But given the current situation, Himeko didn't want to embarrass Theresa too much, so she could only keep the fact that there were still a few small student apartments vacant to herself.

"Sorry to bother everyone."

The group had mixed feelings when they heard Theresa ask them to stay there. Mei was already worried because of her status as a Herrscher, and living with two S-rank Valkyries made her even more concerned about her identity being exposed.

But Rita's friendly attitude helped to suppress her initial frustration.

However, there is now an issue that we cannot ignore.

In this apartment, the last room was handed over to Kiana after it was cleaned up. So where will the two of them stay when they arrive?

"Don't worry about me, I can sleep on the sofa."

Durandal said that, but since she was a guest, she couldn't really sleep on the sofa, so room allocation became a problem.

"How about Rita comes with me?"

No one expected Bronya to say that.

But then the others suddenly felt relieved. Who could blame them for Rita's first impression of her? It was the gentle and kind older sister Rita, Bronya, who was still young and separated from her family. Perhaps she was attracted by Rita's gentleness.

Only Bronya herself knew that she could never be attracted to Rita. In fact, the two had even fought each other before, without ever meeting, because of Cocolia.

In her eyes, Rita was a very dangerous person. She was not at ease no matter who Rita slept with. Even if Rita slept alone, if she suddenly got up at night and wanted to do something, no one could stop her.

Bronya, worried that Rita came because of Mei, volunteered to let Rita go with her.

“Yes, Miss Bronya.”

Rita smiled at Bronya as usual.

Durandal has also chosen her roommate, Kiana. Originally, Kiana wanted to be with Kiana or Mei, but it would be even better if all three of them were together.

As a result, Kiana, like Bronya, was the first to offer advice, causing her plan to fail.

But just after everyone finished discussing, Theresa, who had been silent, suddenly exploded, "No, absolutely not!"

Theresa pointed at Rita, "This girl is a lolicon, we can't let Bronya sleep with her."

Himeko frowned, wondering why Theresa was acting so strangely.

As Rita's captain, Durandal did not react at all to Theresa's statement.

As for Rita, she simply smiled at everyone, offering neither rebuttal nor response, as if she had tacitly agreed.

Startled, Bronya quickly took a few steps back and even summoned her Heavy Bunny.

Bronya initially thought Rita was a detached, smiling maid focused on clearing obstacles for Destiny, but now she discovers she's actually a pervert, which makes her even more wary of Rita.

Because of Theresa's actions, Rita ended up sleeping alone in Himeko's room, while Himeko went to Hyperion's room to rest for the night.

As night fell and everyone fell asleep, Rita opened her eyes and pulled a vial of reagent from the pocket of her clothes.

"If they really are from the Kaslana family, this amount should be enough."

But just in case, Yi took out another vial of reagent from her pocket. She herself held her breath and came to Kiana's door, opened the vial of reagent, and poured it into Kiana's room through the crack in the door.

She herself took a medicine.

Fifteen minutes later, Rita slowly pushed open the door and crouched down to the bedside.

Although this potion is a finished product of Tianming Technology, it is colorless and odorless, but only a drop exposed to the air is enough to put people in the room into a deep sleep, so that they will not be disturbed even if they do anything.

This time, she used almost ten times the usual amount.

Just as Rita was about to take some of Kiana's hair, she discovered that Kiana had opened her eyes.

"Miss Rita, did you come here intending to launch a night raid?"

Just as Rita was about to do something, she saw Kiana snap her fingers, and instantly the surrounding scenery changed, and the two of them found themselves in the forest.

"you..."

"Otto sent you, didn't he?"

Before Rita could even speak, Kiana revealed the truth in one sentence.

“Tell him that such petty tricks are pointless. If he wants to find me, he can come in person, and I will tell him everything I know.”

After saying that, Rita found herself back in her room, as if everything that had just happened was a dream.

But the empty reagents and the open door proved that everything that had just happened was a story he had personally experienced.

Although she was curious about how Kiana had noticed her abnormality and how she had become immune to the effects of Destiny Tech's drugs, the most important thing now was to convey Kiana's words to the Archbishop.

When Kiana returned and was about to go back to sleep, she found Durandal beside her had opened her eyes.

In Durandal's pure, sky-blue, crystal-clear eyes, without a trace of impurity, Kiana saw a hint of apology.

"I'm sorry, Kiana, I didn't expect Rita to..."

"It's alright, it's all Otto's fault!"

Kiana was also somewhat surprised. Judging from Rita's appearance, she was clearly very confident. Although she didn't know what Rita had done, judging from the test tube in her hand when she came to her side, she guessed that it was probably some kind of drug.

Even Kiana suspected that Theresa's statement back then might have been manipulated by Rita.

Rita: I'm innocent! I didn't do it!

But clearly, it was all for naught for both of them.

In this timeline, Rita and Durandal hadn't known each other for very long, and Rita was unaware of Durandal's extraordinary and almost otherworldly nature; otherwise, she certainly wouldn't have acted so recklessly.

Kiana doesn't intend to blame the two, but rather plans to teach the mastermind behind it all a lesson, Otto, who hasn't shown his face yet.

Chapter 147 What? The archbishop is a woman?

Kiana's method of revenge against Otto was simple: spreading rumors.

If you really want to get revenge on Otto, you can just destroy his beliefs. Just tell him that Kallen cannot be resurrected in his world, and he will break down.

But there's a prerequisite: that Otto, being so infatuated, would actually believe it. Given Otto's personality, unless he truly fails himself, he won't believe anything anyone else says.

Moreover, if Otto believed it, that would be a big problem. Although some Valkyries, Anti-Entropy, and the World Serpent hidden in the shadows had reservations about this archbishop who had ruled Schicksal for 500 years, and even regarded him as an enemy.

But no one wanted Otto to die, no one wanted Otto to disappear.

After all, the current destiny can be said to have been built and developed by Otto himself, and this is only the result of him devoting only a small part of his energy to fulfilling his long-cherished wish.

If Otto were to die and disappear, the will of Heaven would be thrown into chaos.

Another possibility is that Otto goes mad. If he does, he'll be even more terrifying than a Herrscher, and the entire world might perish because of Kallen.

Therefore, Kiana could only resort to spreading rumors to annoy Otto, even though Otto probably didn't care.

Kiana used Brownie's ability to hack into Schicksal's database, only to find that she didn't seem to have anything good to say about Otto.

In the database, Otto made no attempt to hide the evil deeds he had committed. In fact, he even attributed many of the things he and Kallen did when he was young to himself, downplaying Kallen's existence and making her appear as a perfect saint.

"This guy..."

Even Kiana couldn't help but sigh, Otto's devotion was truly that of a god of pure love.

Kiana felt like if she caused trouble or modified the data, she would be the villain.

"Hey, how come there are hidden records here, and only one person has access to them? The last access was yesterday?"

Kiana, who had originally intended to leave, suddenly became interested. Although it took her some time to crack the code, she eventually succeeded.

I thought it was a top secret, or some document that could overturn destiny.

But they discovered that what was stored here was Otto's praise for Karen.

Karen's name is really hard to write. It's not that the strokes are complicated, but you have to be inspired by four parts twilight, three parts moonlight, two parts tipsiness, and one part of her cuteness when you write it.

One line, two lines, Kiana read until the very end and discovered that they were all Otto expressing his feelings for Kallen. Some were diary entries, some were lyrics praising her, and some were just a simple sentence.

But Kiana discovered that Otto came almost every day, and he would always leave a message.

"As expected of you, Otto."

"Oh? So you understand Kallen's greatness now?"

Kiana's hair stood on end, and her whole body tensed up. Even though this was actually the data space of the Destiny Database, she still felt a chill.

When she turned around, she found that Otto had been standing behind her without her noticing.

"Cocolia's daughter?"

Otto didn't suddenly go berserk because Kiana barged in; instead, he acted like a refined gentleman with a smile on his face.

"No, that girl is quite capable, but she is still young and lacks experience."

Otto seemed to have lost interest in the riddle. A golden Rubik's Cube appeared in his hand, and then in the next moment it turned into a golden Judgment of Heavenly Fire, the muzzle pointed directly at Kiana's head.

But his voice remained gentle, as if he were chatting with a friend.

"So, my friend, can you tell me who you are?"

Otto watched the figure in front of him suddenly disappear, but he wasn't too surprised and also chose to leave the data space.

Kiana reappeared only after Otto left.

"Could there be some hidden trap here? Oh well, there's nothing good here anyway, but they scared me and even pointed a gun at me. If I don't get revenge, I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Kiana then began extensively revising the information about Otto.

The next day, Durandal and Rita had already gone to the location of the Honkai outbreak and started the cleanup work. The first class of the day was Old Yang's history class. However, when class started, as the historical data connected to the Destiny Database was opened, everyone looked at Old Yang with surprise.

"Huh? Professor Walter also likes to read unofficial history? I didn't expect it to be so exciting!"

"That's not right. Mr. Walter is usually very meticulous. He shouldn't make such a silly mistake. Could someone be trying to play a prank on him?"

However, Fu Hua, the class monitor, spoke up at this moment, interrupting everyone's discussion.

"Quiet down, the teacher is lecturing, and this is a data document connected to the Destiny Database, which is not something that Teacher Walter can modify on his own."

But as soon as Fu Hua finished speaking, all the students erupted into a frenzy, their previous hushed conversations turning into loud discussions.

After all, if, as Fu Hua said, these all come from the Destiny database, then things are going to get really interesting.

After all, in their view, the Destiny Database is unhackable, so these are the real history, which is really interesting.

After all, the Archbishop of Destiny was actually a woman, which completely overturned everyone's understanding.

But upon closer reflection, it seems that no one has ever said that the Archbishop of Destiny was male, and even in historical records, there are not many descriptions of this Archbishop.

"That's strange. Why did we always assume the archbishop was a man?"

The two people with the most complicated feelings right now are Welt Young and Fu Hua. It's normal for the students not to know Otto, since they're not familiar with him. But for the two of them, how could they not know what kind of guy Otto is?

Fu Hua, having burned her memories multiple times, is now starting to wonder if she has lost her memories, or if Otto really is a woman as the projection suggests, and she has simply been judging by appearances.

But Lao Yang is different.

Old Yang could even clearly recall all the information about Otto when he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In addition, given the Herrscher of Reason's extraordinary memory and comprehension, he was certain that his memories were absolutely correct!

So what on earth is this information?!

Since today's lesson is about the history of Destiny, Otto, as the Archbishop of Destiny, is the one who begins the lesson.

Otto Apocalypse, Bishop of Destiny, holder of the First Divine Key, "Void Treasury".

All of this is normal, but what's with the woman below who was called Lady Green Lily before becoming the Archbishop of Destiny?

Ah!
