"What happened?"

Attracted by the sound of gunfire, Bronya immediately came to Otto's side in full gear. She hadn't forgotten who she was hired for.

"Nothing, it's settled."

Looking at the broken glass shards on the ground with a headache, Otto frowned in annoyance. These annoying guys are casually adding to my workload.

"Ah~!"

With Ciel's screams and the sound of wooden planks shattering, Otto managed to get his attention.

“…… That's great news, I don't have to clean this room anymore. ”

may have been frightened by the tragic situation in this place, and Xi'er, who came out to observe, unconsciously used a lot of strength. Don't forget that she still has a lot of honkai energy in her body at this moment.

With the blessing of Honkai energy, Rao is such a harmless little Lori, and her strength easily surpasses the scope of humans.

So, Honkai Energy is really a panacea.

"Anyway, let's eat first......"

Looking at the small piece of the wall that had been ripped off, Otto shrugged his shoulders and ignored it.

However, at the dinner table.

"Click"

"Click"

"Goo......

The sound of the cutlery being broken kept ringing, and the sound of Ci'er's stomach being hungry was still caught in it.

“…… Wait for me here. Wiping his mouth and getting up from his seat, Otto planned to make a trip to the storehouse of the house.

Since it exists as a "stronghold", you can find it anyway.

With this in mind, Otto left the two children behind and walked out.

And Xi'er, who was in place, was still trying to control her sudden surge in power. Looking at the spoon that had been bent again, she leaned back in her seat as if she had given up.

"Ah......h

Scooping a spoonful of custard in her hand, Bronya brought it to Ciel's mouth.

"Don't you eat it?" Looking at Ci'er, who was blushing and indifferent, Bronya tilted her head in confusion.

"No, that ......"

His eyes dodged, and Hill was speechless.

Eventually, however, she was forcefully fed by Bronya. For this reason, when Otto returned, he saw Xi'er on a chair with steam above his head, like a deflated ball.

"What's wrong with her?" With a small bottle in his hand, Otto asked Blonia, who was playing a game on the couch.

"I don't know." Answering perfunctorily, Bronia, who was highly concentrated, did not have the heart to answer Otto's question.

It's like when you are playing with pesticides, and your parents ask you questions, your answer will generally only be "um", "ah", "got it" and so on. Bronya is in this state.

"That's right. Hey, Ciel, come here. Touching his chin and not knowing where to go, Otto carried out the chair to the living room.

What he was going to say next was still more useful, and it was obviously best to be able to make Bronya hear. It's not a secret, though.

Under the puzzled look of the other party, Otto opened the small glass bottle that he had been carrying from the beginning.

Inside is a silvery "solid" with a metallic sheen.

"It's frozen."

With this muttering, Otto wrapped the surface of the glass bottle with the Honkai energy in his body.

It didn't take long for the silver metal edges to melt away, and finally even floated in the air.

"This is mercury, commonly known as mercury, a liquid metal. It is the easiest of the known elements to react with Honkai. ”

Met with Ciel's curious eyes, Otto explained.

As if to make his explanation more convincing, he also controlled the mercury in his hand to constantly change shape.

From famous constructions to delicate gears, Otto mastered their shapes.

"In short, it's the safest and best way to exercise Honkai energy control." He poured the mercury in his hand into the glass bottle in his hand again.

It seems that because the room temperature is much warmer than the outside, the mercury that has not reached the freezing point is still in a liquid state. The freezing point of mercury is -38.87°C

"Try it, I don't want to have to eat with my hands in a few days."

Thinking of what the future would be, Otto tugged at the corners of his mouth and handed the cup in his hand to Ciel.

Glancing back at Bronia, who had long since put down her phone, he muttered in his heart

"Hmph, little girl, you still have to wait for ten years, who told you that you don't have the original stigma."

"I'm sorry......" seemed to be stimulated by Otto's previous unintentional words, and Ciel lowered her head and whispered an apology, so faint that even Otto barely heard clearly.

"Ha, don't care." Not good at coaxing children, Otto, who was casually perfunctory, began to teach detailed points.

For example, how to draw the damage in the body out of the body.

"If you feel it carefully, it's probably in this position." Pointing to a certain part of his abdomen, Otto whispered in Ciel's ear in a low voice.

"It's easy to notice, how about it? Do you feel it? ”

"Hmmm......"

"Good, and follow the pattern I drew for you."

His pupils had long since turned golden, and Otto's index finger slid down Ciel's body. In his other free hand, he held a pen and was constantly calculating.

It stands to reason that the structure of each stigmata is different, and this is not one of those artificially depicted mass production goods, and the route it runs on is naturally unique.

"Don't be so pushy, are you constipated? This should be something as easy as controlling finger movements. ”

While explaining, Otto uses various psychological hints in an attempt to help Ciel grasp it more easily.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally after nearly two hours of hard work, Xi'er finally succeeded.

It's like you're suddenly fitted with a pair of wings one day, even though the wings are perfectly connected to your nerves. But you need time to get used to the new muscles just like that.

Xi'er, who had already succeeded once, looked at her empty hands, where she couldn't see anything, but Xi'er could really feel the heaviness in her hands.

"It's still a little uncomfortable, it shouldn't be just ......," Otto thought as he touched his chin as he simulated the maximum power that Ciel could do at the moment.

The Honkai energy in the concentrated hand is like a blurred layer of glass, and the distortion of the air can be seen from time to time.

"Well~ No matter what, since you have done it, you will always be proficient in the future." The clenched fist dissipated the collapse in his hand, and Otto smiled with satisfaction.

The hardest first step has already been taken, will it be far from the end?
