You're using big data… for that?!
Amber didn't know how to respond, but quickly composed herself and tapped her tablet.
"I can have the results shortly, Bishop."
"Mm," Otto nodded. "After the analysis, hire professional travel planners to design a one-day itinerary for that place. For two people."
"Bishop, this…"
At this point, how could Amber not realize what he meant?
The Overseer was going to take the Saint… on a trip?
What kind of move was this?
"Cecilia's Holy Blood deserves at least one day of relaxation every year," Otto said while watching her train. "Take the funding from Kallen Fantasy."
Amber: ???
What? Kallen Fantasy?!
That was Kallen Fantasy—the game you'd embezzle funds to develop!
Is Cecilia's Holy Blood… really that important to you?
Seeing the shock in Amber's eyes behind her visor, Otto's lips curved slightly, though his gaze remained calm.
He was doing this on purpose…
"Understood, Bishop."
Though doubts lingered, Amber voiced no objections and turned to leave.
"Build some rapport—makes future operations easier."
Otto leaned against the wall, enjoying the visual spectacle of the beautiful Cecilia in combat.
[According to big data, you spend a day with Cecilia at an amusement park. However, the travel planners seem to have misunderstood something—couples keep appearing around you, making Cecilia blush repeatedly.]
[So to ease her embarrassment, you use your authority to clear all couples out of the park.]
"… "
Power really is wonderful.
[In the final half hour, you sit together on the Ferris wheel.]
Otto opened his eyes and met Cecilia's gaze. Sweat dampened her skin, and her lips curled unconsciously, as if a burden had lifted.
"Cecilia Schariac."
"Mm… yes, Bishop."
She answered instinctively, then quickly straightened.
"From now on, once every year, you may choose a day to do anything you wish—with me accompanying you."
He tilted his head slightly, looking down over everything below the Ferris wheel.
"I, Otto Apocalypse, grant you authority equal to the Overseer for this time—meaning that in this moment, in the human world, you are capable of anything."
The unabashedly chuunibyou yet completely literal declaration earned him sparkling eyes.
"Thank you, Bishop!"
"Mm. Oh, and Cecilia—when we're out like this, call me 'Brother.'"
"Okay, Brother!"
[From then on, every year on the day she chose, you took Cecilia anywhere in the world she wished to go.]
[She gradually became livelier around you, her tone more intimate.]
"Brother… why don't we bring Theresa along?"
"Because I already refused her so sternly before… ahem, you understand."
"Oh, it's a pride thi—"
"Cecilia!"
"Wah—Brother, I'm sorry, I can't eat that much…"
You're indeed wrong, Otto replied coldly in his mind.
I'm farming affection—why would I let anyone interfere?
He gently patted the pouting girl's head, the last trace of conscience dissolving at the touch of her soft skin.
[Cecilia still respects you, but sometimes shows a more girlish side.]
[She even surpasses your top ranking in Kallen Fantasy right in front of you.]
[So you, right in front of her, ban her account using administrator privileges.]
"Brother!!!"
"Ahem—don't make a fuss. I'm tempering your character. And the ban will only lift at the appropriate time. …Fine, I'll add one more day to this year's trip."
[Time passes quickly.]
[In 1993, under pressure from both families, Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Schariac enter a political marriage.]
[At the wedding, you issue an order as Overseer: Siegfried Kaslana is forbidden from fighting Cecilia. Should conflict occur, regardless of cause, Siegfried's Divine Key—Judgment of Shamash—will be confiscated.]
"Unfortunately… regarding the wedding, the book is almost entirely red text. I can only tweak small details."
"But a married woman isn't bad either."
[Year 2000. The Second Honkai Eruption begins.]
[Facing the overwhelming power of the Second Herrscher, Sirin, Schicksal deploys its top forces: the Snow Wolf Squad reorganized by Theresa and Siegfried Kaslana. Even after Siegfried releases the greatsword form of Judgment of Shamash, he only manages to severely wound Sirin, forcing Schicksal to send further reinforcements.]
[With Fu Hua and Otto's Fenghuang Down illusion, Otto obtains an "oracle." However, Sirin connects to the Will of the Honkai and shatters the illusion. Fu Hua burns her memories to sever the link, inadvertently freeing Welt Yang's consciousness within the Herrscher of Reason core. Otto and Fu Hua are forced to retreat; Cheng Lixue dies holding the rear.]
[Sirin uses remaining feathers to capture Siegfried and Cecilia, controlling their minds. Immersed in her illusion and enraged by Bella's death, she continues her revenge against the world.]
[With Theresa unleashing Judah's Zeroth Power and Siegfried fully activating his Honkai beast genes, they finally suppress Sirin—but the core of the Second Herrscher spirals out of control before her death.]
[Facing the runaway core that would contaminate half of Asia, Cecilia chooses to sacrifice herself, expending vast amounts of Holy Blood to purge the dense Honkai energy around Sirin, allowing Siegfried to pinpoint her location and—assisted by Yang—seal the core with Judgment of Shamash: Cataclysm.]
[Back at Schicksal HQ, you judge Cecilia's survival chances negligible and Siegfried uncontrollable, and launch a Honkai fission missile toward Siberia to conceal the truth.]
[After losing most of her blood, Cecilia uses Black Abyss White Flower to heal Siegfried and create protective flora around him, and within the Honkai fission blast, she turns into…]
"Ah."
In a haze, Cecilia—having lost most of her blood and preparing to spend her final moments searching for Sirin—heard a sigh.
She forced her eyes open and saw a blond man standing beside her.
"Bishop…"
"Yes, I'm here," Otto said, his tone filled with regret. "By Kallen… what a remarkable story."
"Of all people… why did the one who died have to be you?"
