[You and Einstein began the restoration of the Dead Sea Scrolls]
[Valkyrie Reanna Brigantia had no intention of monitoring you, so she left the next day.]
[The rest of the month was quite boring]
[With your ability to possess the pen, the altered parts of the Dead Sea Scrolls were quickly repaired. For most of the remaining time, you were hanging out with the two female scientists around you and comforting Welt, who occasionally had nightmares.]
[At the end of the vacation, Lab 42 received a flyer for a beach vacation – no one would want to go on a beach vacation in winter, right?]
[Okay, however, there is a 30% discount for off-season vacations]
[As we all know, women's resistance to discounts is the same as men's resistance to Gundam]
[So, even though it was objectively stupid, Laboratory 42 unanimously approved the vacation proposal]
[At the resort, you met the owner of the resort, Margaret Ayette, a burgundy-haired sister]
[But at the same time, she is also Planck's star female agent – she implicitly revealed her identity to the two scientists]
[There isn't much staff at the resort during the off-season, which also leaves you with a lot of tips] [In the lobby on the first floor, you meet someone you didn't expect]
...?
Tian Shi looked around confused, who? Soon, Tian Shi noticed a gaze and its origin.
A black-haired beauty wearing a gray and white trench coat and dressed elegantly. Well, there's just a bit of sadness in her chest. Even without glasses, Tian Shi still recognized the other person.
-Fu Hua
Oh, it seems Fu Hua is really there at this time.
Looking for Einstein or Tesla? Or Welt? Tian Shi tilted his head, but felt that something was wrong. I always feel... can Fu Hua see me?
Tian Shi was about to say hello to confirm, but Fu Hua, who was in front of him, shifted her gaze to Einstein.
-Mirage?
"Fu Hua, Valkyrie directly under Schicksal Headquarters, Reanna's colleague, I heard Reanna mention you." Fu Hua nodded and greeted Einstein calmly.
"Here, this is a welcoming gift." Fu Hua took out a spray bottle from her clothes.
"?" Einstein and Tesla naturally had puzzled expressions on their faces.
"Pepper spray. I don't have anything else that can be a gift. Please accept it."
"Do Valkyries use pepper spray too?" It seemed Tesla wanted to complain. The most common reason given for her designed weapons being rejected was that "they were not as practical as the Valkyrie's."
"That's all. Goodbye. You may encounter someone troublesome today. I wish you a pleasant journey." Fu Hua didn't seem to respond to Tesla's complaints at all. She appeared and left in a hurry.
"Puzzling..." Tesla looked at Fu Hua's departing figure with a strange expression, turned her head, and found that Einstein was aiming the spray at her. Tesla was shocked on the spot.
"Hey, hey, hey! This is pepper spray!"
"Don't worry, I'm not going to spray."
[Fu Hua appeared in a hurry and left in a hurry, like a nameless passerby in life]
[But you know, it's not just like that, Otto, the Bishop of Schicksal, is also at the resort at this time]
[After dinner, Welt, Einstein, and Tesla entered the men's room and the women's room respectively. After a series of mental struggles, you chose the men's room]
[In the men's room, a naked and gay-looking blond man is waiting for Welt]
Well, although Otto is not gay, but looking at the hot springs with only two people... well, a hero is judged by how good he is, by how well he bathes, right?
[Otto expresses his intentions to Welt - don't misunderstand, Otto only hopes that Welt can inherit his position as Bishop]
"To put it bluntly, I am not a qualified Bishop."
"I became a Bishop entirely out of personal desire, but that's not the point."
"The point today is that I need an heir with 'great talent'."
"I have lived for more than five hundred years... and my body, from beginning to end, is nothing more than a... the illusory shadow of a 'Saint'." Otto was surprisingly frank with this young man he was meeting for the first time and had been communicating with through letters.
"I believe your talent is far superior to mine... it has nothing to do with intelligence." If Welt really nodded here, the Archbishop of Schicksal more than 60 years later might really be Welt.
But...
"Let me refuse." After Otto's long narration, Welt got up and left the hot springs.
"...Huh?"
"If you are really going to convince me to do something... next time, please don't talk to yourself too much, you don't know anything at all."
"...Where... did I say something wrong?" Otto's wise face showed a trace of confusion.
"No, you didn't say anything wrong." Welt showed no signs of turning back.
"But... because of that, I can't trust you."
"Is that so?" Otto sighed regretfully.
"Then... I hope time will give you the answer. Goodbye, my friend."
...
[Good answer, Welt.]
"I feel that... that guy and I don't get along, or rather, we are not from the same world..." Welt scratched his head with a wry smile.
[Otto... that guy seems to have different values from all the people he truly cares about]
This was the case for Kallen in the past, Welt now, and even Theresa in the future. Although the degree is different, Otto has shown more or less tolerance than usual towards the current Welt and the future Theresa.
The rest of the people... even the future Durandal and Rita, may just be "tools" in his eyes.
As for Schicksal itself, it goes without saying that, for Otto, the meaning of Schicksal now is to facilitate Kallen's resurrection.
[Thinking about it that way, that guy himself is quite tragic]
Will I simulate Kallen in the future?
"Maybe." Welt sighed slightly.
"Senior Tian Shi, can you tell me more about the Schicksal Organization?"
[Are you sure you won't regret it after I say this? The enormity of Schicksal and Otto's background cannot be explained in a few words.]
"No, I have confirmed that the Bishop and I have different opinions."
[Then let's start with the three great families of Schicksal]
