"I can't take it anymore... I really can't take it anymore."
Dusk fell once again.
Just like yesterday, Otto collapsed on the ground again, while Kallen, holding a pile of bread and desserts, looked at her with disappointment.
"Your body... chew... is too weak... chew... isn't it?"
"Don't look at me like that while you're stuffing food into your mouth!"
"I just don't want someone as unconscious as you telling me that!"
Otto sat on the ground, her face full of pain and indignation.
This food-loving woman, naturally naive and incredibly strong!
Well... Otto spent a day with Kallen and understood the importance of the brain, but she also felt a strange sense of sadness, like a scholar meeting a soldier.
"Studying is still the best! My God! Save me!"
"I want to go back to studying!"
This kind of work that demands a lot of physical effort is totally unsuitable for her!
"Didn't you know that I felt very weak yesterday?"
"Eh? Really?"
Kallen had absolutely no sense of self-awareness.
"..."
There is no way to communicate with this person.
Otto put her hand to her face... This person usually seems so smart, but why is she actually so dumb?
Is there something wrong with the Kaslana family's educational approach?
"Because for Kallen, using her brain is a lower priority than eating."
Tian Shi saw through Otto's thoughts and laughed unscrupulously from the side.
This type of personality is generally called "witless," which means one should not expect Kallen to be very resourceful in normal times.
Originally, Otto was supposed to be the one in charge of putting Kallen's brain to use, but looking at Otto and Kallen now... they are probably no longer a good match.
Um... wait a minute.
Tian Shi's unscrupulous thought was interrupted halfway.
As is widely known, Otto's obsession in the original timeline was Kallen.
The fictional name for this simulation is also [Otto Obsession].
But now it seems that Otto and Kallen are not a good match...
What are you so obsessed with?
Tian Shi silently looked at the compatibility score.
"Compatibility: 139%."
Fortunately, it didn't grow much today.
Tian Shi touched his face and shuddered.
"No, no, no, isn't that a bit narcissistic?"
No, rather it is more accurate to say that it is based on experience from a certain perspective.
No, no, no! Being Otto's target is terrifying from any point of view, right?
"Seriously, have you rested enough? If you keep this up, how are you going to get home?"
Kallen held several food items in one arm and looked at Otto with her other hand on her hip.
"Not everyone is as energetic as you."
Otto's lips twitched.
"I'm just a sickly girl!"
"Stop pretending! Let's start!"
"I am physically useless! What can you do to me?"
"..."
Even Kallen, with her strong personality, was surprised by Otto's "shamelessness" at this moment.
"In that case, I will take her back."
Seeing Otto, who was now completely open, Tian Shi could not help but feel a little helpless.
Because of the "wise master" thing he had mentioned before, Tian Shi wanted to meet Kallen, so he simply switched to the public channel.
"Wow! What is that sound?"
Kallen quickly assumed a fighting stance.
"I'm... I'm a nun! Don't try to fool me!"
"So you knew you were a nun..."
Otto looked at Kallen and the food scattered all over the ground at her feet with resentment.
"Have you ever done anything a nun is supposed to do?"
"Could I be considered a temporary tutor?"
Tian Shi didn't have as many ideas as Otto, and considering he had to give Sister Kallen some prestige, he didn't mention "god" as a pretext.
Even though Kallen is a bit silly, you can't treat people like fools, right?
Moreover, the title "God" was not something Tian Shi made up himself; it was given to him by Otto.
This has nothing to do with Tian Shi.
Furthermore, Otto actually knew that Tian Shi was not a "god," but out of a tacit understanding, neither of them intended to point it out.
"...?"
A look of obvious bewilderment appeared on Kallen's delicate face.
Fortunately, Tian Shi had a lot of experience dealing with the Kaslana family.
From Kevin to Bianca.
No one understands Kaslana better than I do!
"Then I will take Otto home first."
Tian Shi didn't give Kallen time to think.
He simply grabbed Otto by the neck as if she were a kitten and headed for the Schicksal mansion.
Fortunately, the surrounding area is Apocalypse family territory, so there is no need to worry about anyone seeing them.
"Oh... oh, then be careful."
However, Otto was lost in her thoughts at that moment.
"Guardian?"
Otto was inexplicably moved by this word.
But...
"My lord, could you change your position?"
The girl, Otto, looked up with a pitiful expression.
"Being lifted by the back of the neck is too humiliating, isn't it?"
Although she doesn't expect to be carried like a princess or anything like that, at least a more normal way like carrying her on his back would be fine, right?
"I think it's quite good."
Tian Shi looked at Otto, who was acting cute and pitiful, and said with a smile.
"Let's find a secluded spot and I'll fly you there."
"Being grabbed and floating..."
Otto imagined the scene and could only say it was a little better than going through the main entrance.
But...
"Can you take me flying?"
Otto's eyes sparkled.
People who build airplanes often feel a longing for the sky.
Although Otto's aspirations were still limited to kites, no one in her time was surpassed by her in such ambitions.
"Although it's late, we can still fly a bit."
Tian Shi's gaze toward Otto was slightly moved, so he nodded, picked Otto up, and began to float upward.
Tian Shi floated upward at a slow but steady pace, and Otto, who was in Tian Shi's arms, could clearly feel herself moving away from the ground.
"Ascension."
Otto inexplicably thought of this word.
"Do those who return to God's embrace also feel the same?"
Even though there was nothing beneath her, Otto could feel a reassuring arm around her.
But then Otto shook her head.
She doesn't believe in God.
Or rather, she could feel that the Apocalypse family, apart from the title of "bishop," had little respect for God.
However, at that moment Otto suddenly developed a certain respect for "God."
Of course, Otto also knew that the one holding her was not a god.
"Temporary tutor."
Otto thought the word was brilliant, if only the word "temporary" could be removed.
She can honestly say that these two days were the happiest two days of her thirteen years of adolescence.
Knowledgeable and gentle parents; noisy, but kind-hearted friends.
These last two days have made Otto so happy that she fears it's all a dream.
"It will get cold if you go up further."
Tian Shi reminded her gently.
But he found Otto already asleep in his arms, breathing peacefully and with a happy smile on her face.
Thirteen-year-old Otto... It feels a bit uncomfortable, but... it seems... it's not bad.
