Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 95 Otto's Hatred

"Your reaction speed and offensive and defensive capabilities are quite impressive. I think your overall strength should have reached A-rank. No wonder you were able to cooperate with Lady Theresa to kill the pseudo-Herrscher... Speaking of which, did you replace that lance with a baseball bat at the last moment?"

"That's right! Little Grey is our school's Galactic Bat Man! He's much better with a bat than a gun! Using a gun is for you—"

"That's enough, Kiana, say less!"

Even though he knew Kiana was praising herself to defend Theresa, he still felt a blush creep up his face and his heart race.

Kyon stopped Kiana from bragging, but he had already piqued Durandal's interest.

"Oh? So you haven't used your full strength yet? I'd really like to know how powerful you are when you go all out. How about we compete again next time? By the way, are you interested in joining the Undying Blade?"

"Ugh?"

Perhaps fearing that people wouldn't understand, Durandal offered a brief explanation.

"To put it bluntly, the Undying Blade is the strongest Valkyrie unit under headquarters, commanded by Rita and me. Sora, are you interested in joining?"

Before Qiong could speak, Kiana jumped out and shielded him behind her, refusing on his behalf.

"Fine, you just said Auntie's doing a bad job, and now you're trying to poach my girlfriend? No way, why should Little Gray go with you?"

Rita facepalmed. Lady Durandal was a bit too direct. How could she poach someone's partner right in front of them?

The straightforward Durandal chose to patiently explain the reasons to Kiana.

"It's all because St. Freya's environment is too comfortable! In the fight just now, he didn't fight to hone himself and become stronger, but because you pushed him to fight! I can feel and understand his reluctance and helplessness, but how can anyone be unwilling to take such a good opportunity to improve themselves through combat training? I can only conclude that this is due to St. Freya's comfortable environment."

Unaware that Kiana and Theresa's faces had darkened, Durandal continued to attack.

"Besides, he's using a lance. I dare say few can match me in lances. If he came to headquarters, I could teach him how to use that weapon better instead of struggling to deal with my attacks by relying solely on his talent and ability like he did today. Also, your facilities are of poor quality. The training grounds of the Undying Blade would never be damaged by excessive force."

Theresa felt her temper rising, and given the chance, she wanted to swear.

"Lady Durandal, Lord—Little Luo is here."

When facing St. Freya and the others, Durandal always seemed to make comments without malice, but these comments, which were all the truth, often made people feel embarrassed.

Kiana crossed her arms and looked at Durandal with a hint of hostility.

"I don't understand what you're saying, but no matter what, you're not allowed to take our people away!"

Rita coughed lightly and joined the conversation. It was best to help Durandal out at a time like this, otherwise, who knew where the tongue-tied Durandal would steer the conversation next.

"Miss Kiana is joking. Young Master Qiong is not a Valkyrie of the Far East Branch, and one of his mentors is our Undying Blade member, Aylvit. Inviting him to join the Undying Blade is perfectly reasonable, isn't it?"

"This one……"

Qiong scratched his head, somewhat at a loss. But Theresa couldn't sit still: poaching people is one thing, but poaching people right under my nose shows they don't respect me at all!

"In any case, it's up to Qiong to decide. Also, Durandal, don't think that our Saint Freya is only what you see. Do you really understand our Saint Freya? If you don't understand, please don't make rash judgments! Do you need me and Judas to practice with you?"

"Lady Theresa..."

Perhaps Durandal's careless remarks offended too much, or perhaps Kiana's instigation and undermining of her partner were too unethical, but Theresa was truly enraged.

"I didn't mean that. I just hope that outstanding warriors can have better opportunities for development. But St. Freya Academy would be a waste of his talents. So, would you be interested in joining the Undying Blade?"

All eyes turned to Qiong, who immediately felt extremely uncomfortable...

If you don't want to be labeled a traitor by Kiana and the others, and you want to stay away from Otto, it's best to refuse.

"I think I should just forget it. My friends are here, and I don't want to leave."

"You're one of the few with a conscience."

Theresa nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems this child will remain with us. But Bishop Otto, aren't you going to help your outspoken Valkyrie?"

Bai Ji asked casually, but received no reply.

"Bishop Otto?"

Bai Ji only saw a face filled with gritted teeth, and the target seemed to be... Yae Sakura?

-----------

Otto hated Yae Sakura—not just disliked her, but loathed her.

This is not just because of the rumors that he was the "first cuckold," but also because of something else that is more important to him.

The death of Karen.

If Kallen Kaslana's direct cause of death was the Honkai Beasts he released to disrupt her execution, making him an undeniably responsible sinner, then Yae Sakura can't escape blame either; she's at least an accomplice.

Five hundred years ago, Kallen, dissatisfied with her fate and conducting crazy experiments, fled to the Far East with a box that sealed a demon. According to information that Otto later discovered, Yae Sakura saved Kallen.

Of course, if Yae Sakura had only saved Kallen and taken her heart, he would only blame his own incompetence, but that is not the case.

That woman opened Pandora's box. The Void Treasury's explanation further clarified that it was a monster from the previous era, the Herrscher of Corruption!

Kallen expended a great deal of energy to seal Yae Sakura, who had merged with the Herrscher of Corruption. Although Saint Kallen successfully sealed Yae Sakura and the Herrscher of Corruption, she was ultimately captured by Schicksal due to exhaustion. Without Yae Sakura, none of this might have happened at all!

They were all guilty, but he wanted all the sinners to pay the price before Kallen revived. Most of them had already been sent to see Kallen, so only Yae Sakura was left...

"Notify Rita that the target has been located. The person is extremely dangerous. Be careful."

Baiji: ?

“Bishop Otto, Miss Rita seems to be just ahead. Don’t you intend to go and tell her yourself?”

Otto froze for a moment. It seemed so. The moment he saw the pink-haired fox, he couldn't see anything but pink. He also ignored the Undying Blade duo who were having a friendly chat with their beloved granddaughter.

“Baiji, my friend, go and tell them to be accurate! Tell them to wait for me at your place.”

After saying that, Otto turned and left.

Where are you going?

"Go get a new body!"

A chilling look appeared in young Otto's eyes.

"Not only should she die, but she should die knowing why!"
