Carrying Kiana unconscious, Otto turned his head to look in the direction of the tree he had shot at earlier.

"It's almost time to come out."

Shouting out into the distance, accompanied by Otto's words, out of behind the tree was a man with a white ponytail.

"Boom, you can at least save me some face," scratching the back of his head, Siegfried emerged from behind the tree.

Siegfried walked up to Otto and picked up the sleeping Kiana.

"It's really ruthless, it's her first time" It's certain that this level of training will inevitably cause muscle soreness.

"This is no child's play, you should know how dangerous the Valkyrie's profession is."

Stretching, Otto seemed intent on going back.

"Instead of dying in the unknown, it's better to work harder now.

Stepping away from a large, exaggerated training ground, this training ground was deliberately built so large in consideration of the possibility of a simulated Honkai crusade here.

"Oh, for the sake of the first day, forget about the afternoon training."

Before leaving the training ground, faint words drifted in from afar.

———————— dividing line——————

"Ah, what a trouble," Otto returned to his home, and Otto immediately lay down on the couch like a deflated ball.

When she trained Delisa by herself, she wasn't so tired, and it's no wonder that Delissa, as a new human, has great strength in her own right, and all she has to do is master. But Kiana is different, although she has strong potential and plasticity, but it all takes time to accumulate.

"But you said yes very quickly," said Kalian, who was huddled in the futon as she peeled an orange and looked away from the TV series.

"Well~ There are various reasons for this......" Otto clasped his cheek with his index finger in embarrassment, and Otto perfunctory.

You can't let me say that Kiana is actually the protagonist, and I won't be able to suffer if I have a good relationship now.

"Eh~ Anyway, you can do your best." As she said this, she stuffed the orange in her hand into her mouth, and Karen showed a look of enjoyment.

"Well, where did you get this?"

Pointing to the futon in front of him, Otto asked.

"Ah, the one sent from the Far East seems to be a specialty? But it's warm, isn't it? ”

"Sorry, can you move a little to the side?"

Standing up, Otto seemed ready to squeeze into the little futon

"Huh? I'm so sorry, it looks like you're going out again! With a sly smile, Karen stopped moving.

Picking up the ringing home landline from the side, Karen placed it in Otto's hand.

"Didi, Didi—"

Frowning at the number displayed on the phone, Otto pressed the answer button.

"Hey, hello. Is it Lord Otto? ”

"It's me."

"Dr. Markey's experiment has made a major breakthrough, and I hope to invite you to visit"

Because the hands-free is on, Karen on the side also heard it clearly.

"Markey? Is it an experiment with artificial stigmata? Glancing at Kalen, Otto asked across the microphone.

"Yes"

"Okay, I'll be right over."

Hanging up, Otto sighed helplessly.

"Do you want to come along?" Looking at Karen, who was eavesdropping with her ears pricked up, he asked.

In fact, Kalian's image of the personnel of the research institute has always been bad, even if she did not witness the inhuman experiment as in the original book, she can guess that it is impossible for an organization as big as Destiny to be without these dark sides. Further, these experiments were all under Otto's acquiescence......

However, all these years, Karen has been acting as if she didn't know.

Now, when I hear Otto directly invite myself to visit with me, I will inevitably be a little stunned.

"I know what you're thinking, but the truth may not be what you think." Scratching his long blonde hair a little irritably, Otto made these explanations in a clear tone rather than let the other party witness them.

"I see, in that case, I'll go together" turned off the TV series that was playing, and Karene got out of the futon.

The research institute is not far from the residence, and it is only about a 30-minute walk.

The headquarters of Destiny, because it happens to be the capital of a country, will naturally be different from those secret bases in memory. The outermost part is the commercial street, and most of the serving Valkyries will choose to settle in this circle. On the inner floor were the institutes and the residences of the nobles, where the academy was located. At the innermost level is the central apparatus.

Showing his identification, Otto quickly entered the institute.

"Actually, the one who acts as an experimental subject cannot be called a human being."

While explaining to Karen, who was behind her, she led the way.

"Strictly speaking, they don't have a mind, they're just a substitute cloned by biotechnology."

(This is what came to mind when I first saw fate/apocrypha...... ）

Looking through the transparent tempered glass, Otto saw a middle-aged man in the room waving to him.

He had a half-white beard, and some gray hair had been cut into inches.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time...... "After a slight hesitation, the middle-aged man in the white coat looked behind Otto, "Who is this?" You should know that the institute doesn't allow unrelated people to come in."

"You're welcome as always, Dr. Markey. If you have to say it, the little girl behind you is not a researcher either," Standing in front of Kalian, Otto looked at the timid purple-haired little girl behind him.

"This is my granddaughter! She's not an outsider! ”

The little girl was stared at by Otto's malicious eyes and shrank behind the doctor.

"Then there's no problem, this is my wife, Karene Kaslana."

"Hmph......" snorted dissatisfiedly, and the middle-aged doctor named Markey turned around and prepared the instruments for the experiment.

"Look, it's a record of the experimental data" Picking up a blank piece of paper from the table, Markey handed it to Otto.

Strictly speaking, the other party is still his boss, and the etiquette should still be there.

Stepping out from behind Otto, Karen grabbed the record of the experiment first.

However, it is true that there are a bunch of unintelligible formulas and code names that come into view.

"Doctor, a new experiment is ready," an assistant-like member reported to Dr. Markey in front of him.

Looking at Kalian, Otto asked what the other man thought.

"No, I'll stay here," Karene didn't follow Otto into the lab, pointing to the purple-haired little girl not far away.

Years of life made him choose to believe in Otto.

"Okay......"

There was some surprise at this outcome, but Otto agreed.

Watching Otto and the middle-aged man leave, Karen jerked her gaze at the little girl to the side.

This sudden action directly startled the latter.

The other party seemed to be very scared, and she shrank towards the corner of the wall.

"Why are you avoiding me, am I scary?" Pointing her finger at herself suspiciously, Karen smiled at the little girl in front of her.

"No...... That's not ......."

"Then there's no problem, my name is Karene Kaslana, please advise."

Before the other party could react, Kalian's figure appeared in front of the purple-haired little girl's forehead. This couldn't help but startle her, and when she came back to her senses, she carefully reported her name "Lin"

"That's, Ka...... Karen, how did you do it......"

"What?" Karen, who tilted her head and didn't know what the other party was talking about, frowned.

It may be that this move startled the other party, and the little girl immediately apologized.

"I'm sorry! It's okay if you don't say it."

"Ah, are you talking about me suddenly appearing in front of you? At this level, Valkyrie can generally do it."

"Valkyrie?"

"Yes, Valkyrie!"
