Walking out of the closed beta laboratory, the first thing that catches my eye is the purple-haired little girl who is talking and laughing with Kalian.

I have to say that Kalian's personality is really easy to make others open up, and she will be attracted by her hearty and upright personality charm when she talks.

"Got it, I'll increase the funding of the institute appropriately." Dr. Magie, who was chattering behind him, clinged to him like a fly.

"Otto?"

Apparently attracted by the sound coming from here, Kalian, who was playing with Rin, looked over.

Nodding to Karen as a greeting, Otto motioned for the other to leave with him.

"Bye-bye, then." Saying goodbye to Lynn behind her, Karen stood up to catch up with Otto.

The corner of the clothes behind him seems to be pulled by someone, and you don't have to think about it to know who the initiator is.

"Later...... Will we still be able to meet? With a thin mosquito figure, Lin lowered her head and asked Kalian.

A gentle smile appeared on her face, as warm as the spring sun. He put his palm on top of the girl's head and kneaded the other's neatly combed hair.

"Don't worry, we will definitely be able to meet."

"Karen? Hurry up! "As if tired of waiting," Otto urged.

"Ah, I'll be right here." Letting go of the hand that was touching the top of the other's head, Karen ran to Otto.

"That ......!"

As if she had finally mustered up her courage, the little purple-haired girl named Lin raised her blushing cheeks.

The white-haired figure on the run turned his head and met the other's eyes.

"I'm going to be a great Valkyrie!"

At this moment, the girl made up her mind. She's going to be a good Valkyrie.

"Really? So, come on! ”

With a wave of her hand at the little girl, Karen's figure disappeared completely in the doorway.

……………………

……………

"Now, Otto!" On the way back, Karen suddenly said, "Do you think I'm doing the right thing?" ”

Stopping, Karen asked, looking at Otto in front of her.

"What is there to blame for now, in essence, it is still a decision made by herself......

Seeing the silent Kalian, Otto stopped his words and explained them more tactfully

"Maybe that little girl named Lin really wants to become a Valkyrie......"

There is nothing good about the Valkyrie profession, and it is natural that it will have to deal with those Honkai beasts and dead soldiers.

"Well~ I know, you don't have to comfort me!" As if to cheer up, a sunny smile reappeared on Karen's face.

"Let's go back"

"Hmm!"

—————— Dividing Line————————

In the mansion of the head of the Apokalis family, the atmosphere on this long dining table is very strange at this moment.

"Hey, tell me, what the hell are you here for?" Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, Otto, the first one, asked as he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

"I ...... I'm here for an afternoon of training! Her mind was no longer on this lunch, and Kiana, who was asked a question, immediately replied.

"Emmmm, Siegfried should have told you that you can rest in the afternoon."

“……”

"Okay, I see. The afternoon training is the same, but you'll have to get your lunch out first. ”

Pointing to something barely moving in front of him, Otto said.

"Kiana, you don't have to be in such a hurry," Delissa, who came back from lunch, also said at this moment, "It's better to say that your starting point is much stronger than your peers." ”

Continuing to remain silent, Kiana also knew that she was a little anxious. But the thirst for power is something that is inscribed in everyone's bones.

The time for the meal was soon over, and because Otto was interested in exercising Delissa's abilities, she was going back to her business at this moment.

Perhaps in the near future, Otto will be able to put the Far Eastern branch in the hands of Delissa.

"I think you better go out for a walk, it's better to have a tea party with Cecilia than to stay at home and watch a series like you."

Looking at Kalian, who immediately turned on the TV in the living room to watch the bloody series, Otto's forehead couldn't help but hang a black line.

"I know, I know, you go and train (tune) and train (teach) Kiana."

Waving his hands impatiently, as if he were driving away a mortal fly.

“…………”

"Let's train here in the afternoon." Taking Kiana to the garden of his home, Otto threw over the two wooden swords that he had prepared for his sight.

"Smack——!

The spinning wooden sword struck the head of a white-haired ball without any suspense.

Holding the swollen bag on her head, Kiana, who was squatting on the ground, protested silently with her eyes.

"I know, I know, you must be wondering why you want to learn swords."

Ignoring the other party's resentful little eyes, Otto hugged his chest with an indifferent expression.

"If you want to learn the gunfighting skills of the Kaslana family, the skills of swordsmanship are also essential. You should know that the vast majority of moves are melee. ”

"In fact, in the earliest days, your family's spearfighting skills also evolved from swordsmanship......

It's like turning on the chatter mode, and Otto talks endlessly.

"Okay, okay, can't I learn?" Finally, Otto's nagging was indispensable, and Kiana interrupted Otto's narration loudly with words.

"Well, let's attack it." Casually snapping off a weak-looking branch from the treetops behind him, Otto beckoned to Kiana in front of him.

Seeing Otto's mocking actions, Kiana's brows furrowed slightly.

"Is it me Kiana who can't hold the knife, or are you Otto floating? Look at Miss Ben's bad lesson for you! ”

Thinking so in her heart, Kiana, who picked up the two wooden swords that had fallen to the ground, rushed forward.

Although she doesn't know the moves and techniques, Kiana really has Kaslana's blood in her veins, and her excellent combat instincts have helped her evade Otto's "lore" repeatedly.

"Haha-"

Panting, Kiana looked at the figure in front of her who had not moved half a step from beginning to end, and couldn't help but feel powerless.

In the previous 5 minutes of melee combat, Kiana kept attacking, and she could clearly feel her strengthening, but she still couldn't even touch a single hair of the man in front of her.

Similarly, Otto was slightly surprised at this moment. Under his constant feeding, Kiana's growth rate can be imagined. However, this exceeded his expectations.

"It seems that I have really found a treasure." With this in mind, Otto raised the branch in his hand again.

The small, branched branches were the best taunt, which once again provoked Kiana's competitive spirit.

"Don't be arrogant to me, see if Miss Ben doesn't beat you into a pig's head!"
