Chapter 30: Revolt
Releasing the palm that caught Kalian's fist, Otto was quite satisfied with the strength of his body at the moment.
Looking at the medicine box on the ground behind him, there was only one of the original three potions left at the moment.
"You guy, why do you suddenly have so much strength" Pulling back her hand, Karen felt very incredulous
"Who knows"
"It's inexplicable," she muttered, and she left.
"Let's go take a shower" Looking at the blood-stained clothes on his body, Otto's serious cleanliness habit is committed again.

Yaezakura's residence
"It's rare that you would take the initiative to talk to me," said the priest, who was seated on the first seat.
"Father-sama" pursed her lips, and Yae Sakura seemed to be disgusted by the title.
"I don't plan to preside over this memorial."
"Don't talk nonsense," Yae Tokitomi (laughs) frowned, and he said in a voice full of majesty.
Standing up, he didn't seem to want to talk about it anymore.
"The problem of the rain is just caused by the collapse," Yae Sakura hurriedly shouted out looking at Shi Chen, who was about to go out.
"Honkai? Did those outlanders tell you? Turning his head, Shi Chen looked down at Yae Sakura.
"Yes! Can you give me some time, I want to verify what he said. Met the other party's gaze, Yae Sakura's hands tightly tugged at the corners of the shrine maiden's skirt.
"Don't be fooled by rumors! The gods will surely be angry about this."
"But ......"
"No, but, do you want to live up to Rin's expectations of you?" With that, he made a gesture to leave
With a gloomy face, Yae Sakura didn't move for a long time.
"I heard that there are monsters near the village?" Stopped, Shi Chen asked again.
"Yes," Yae Sakura choked out between her teeth
"Maybe those three strangers brought it over, and it will be solved together with a few of them in the sacrifice."
The sound of the sliding door being pulled open came to my ears, and Yae Sakura was the only one left in the room.
After a long time, Yae Sakura slowly stood up. She left her home and didn't know where she was going.

"Yo, Otto. It's been a long time, I heard you're hurt? As soon as he entered the blacksmith shop, Changguang's heroic voice reached his ears.
"It's almost too good to be true. It's you, what have you been busy with these days? Putting aside the package he was carrying, Otto replied.
"Of course you're teaching my apprentice, what's in this package?" Suspiciously, pointing to the cloth bag that Otto had placed on the table, Changguang asked.
"The guy who hit me before, are you interested?" As he spoke, Otto had already removed the huge dark brown scales from the cloth bag.
Taking the object from Otto's hand, Changguang looked at it carefully.
"With scales, how can it be so hot?"
"Who knows? I guess I inherited some characteristics."
"That's a good fit for artillery." Putting the scale armor in his hand back on the table, Changguang replied.
"Guest, please use tea" At this time, a middle-aged woman in a kimono walked out, holding the freshly brewed tea in her hand.
After a polite thank-you, Otto turned his gaze to the door.
A crimson figure was standing silently, looking at her lowered head as if something was on her mind.
"Oh, oh, isn't this a shrine maiden? Hurry up and come in! The middle-aged woman followed Otto's line of sight and was as enthusiastic as if she had seen a treasure chest full of gold.
Dragged into the house by a middle-aged woman, Yae Sakura did not make any resistance.
"Mikoto-sama, please have tea!" Because she didn't brew that many cups of tea, she actually gave the cup she was originally going to give to Otto to Yae Sakura.
"This woman ......" inwardly commented on the middle-aged woman in front of him, but Otto's surface was still unmoved.
Yae Sakura, who stretched out her right hand to prepare for the cup, suddenly seemed to think of something, and she hurriedly changed to her left hand.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Discovering Yae Sakura's strange behavior, Nagako couldn't help but ask.
"......" didn't answer, and Yae Sakura still kept her head down.
"It might be better to paint it" Otto groped for a small bottle from his body and threw it over, how to say that the other party had saved himself indirectly before. There should still be a thank you, at least on the surface.
"Let's go," he stood up and beckoned to Otto, walking out the door.
"Why am I leaving
"Less nonsense, just keep up"
After the two left, Yae Sakura slowly raised her head.
"Mikome-sama?"
"The person who sacrificed this time is Otoko Shimada" The deep voice was not as gentle as before, and Yae Sakura looked directly at each other.
After a moment's stunned, the middle-aged woman's face showed a smile of relief, "That's really good!" It's such an honor to be valued by the gods."
She folded her hands over her chest in prayer, tears falling from the corners of her eyes with excitement.
"Don't you think it's unreasonable? Sacrifice the life of a child to a god who doesn't exist? β
"It's you who can't be reasoned with!" Turning her eyes, the woman said in an uncanny tone with wide eyes, her voice as sharp as a cat's paw scratching a blackboard.
"Does Otoko want to be a sacrifice?"
"Otoko will be very happy, and if you say these words of disobedience to the gods, even if you are a shrine maiden, I will not assume that it did not happen." With a fierce gaze, the middle-aged woman glared fiercely at Yae Sakura.
"It's rude, I'll leave today" hurriedly said goodbye and left
"It's really, it's unreasonable, I don't even want my own children. This kind of person...... This kind of person should be killed" Vicious thoughts kept popping up from her mind, and Yae Sakura walked aimlessly and briskly.
"Unreasonable, isn't it?" She was startled by the sudden voice behind her, and Otto, who was standing behind Yae Sakura, smiled with all his control.
"Don't meddle," Yae Sakura said viciously, turning his head and staring at Otto with a fierce gaze.
"You're underestimating faith too much!" Pacing in front of Yae Sakura, Otto didn't seem to hear the threat at all.
"As far as I know, there are many people who will give up their lives for the sake of their faith. Do you think you can change their values with just a few words of your own? β
"It's stupid!" With a mocking smile, Otto said.
"Shut up! I don't know anything! Don't comment on it without permission! Clenching her fists, Yae Sakura ran away as if she were running away
"The so-called gods are just ordinary people with great power. Even you, Honkai (God)" once again stated his point, and Otto left with his head on his back.
