Rita dressed Otto who had just taken a bath, Otto shook his head, dispelling the feeling of being sent to another world.
This is real, and not a memory of the past..
"What's going on?"
Otto didn't ask how Rita found herself in the bathroom, which seems a skill a good maid should have.
"Raiden Mei is awake." Rita led the way, Otto followed behind her and followed her to the room where Mei was kept.
As soon as Otto entered the door, he saw Raiden Mei sitting on a chair with a cup of hot water in her hand, looking very weak.
Is Theresa here?
Cecilia stood with her Moonlight Battlesuit. When she saw Otto come in, she nodded to him. Although she wanted to throw herself into her father's arms, it was time for her mission.
I really want to hug Cecilia and put my head in her chest and act like a spoiled child.
After Otto saw Cecilia, those thoughts were in his head, which was caused by Shigure's memory, and he shook his head.
Even if he wanted to hug her, Leah would take the initiative to hug him instead of being disturbed by that memory.
Raiden Mei wasn't in the secured room anymore. She was wearing a white bathrobe with her naked body. She lowered her head, and her dark purple hair blocked her face.
She had a paper cup in her hand, and Otto noticed that her hands were shaking.
"You're awake." Otto picked up a chair and placed it in front of Mei, then sat on it, with Rita and Cecilia guarding his sides. "How do you feel now?"
"..."
Mei slowly raised her head, allowing Otto to see her face.
Otto narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw her.
Now Mei's face is covered with dark red stripes, which are traces of Honkai Erosion, and her eyes show a sign of fatigue.
"I feel sa hot like something is burning me."
"I feel so stiff like something is stuck in my body."
"I feel so tired, Mr. Principal, am I... going to die?"
A bleak smile appeared on Mei's face, her lips were abnormally rosy, as deep as blood.
Otto raised his hand and touched Mei's rosy lips with his thumb. He felt like he was touching a fire.
Otto's eyes looked down at Mei's face, he looked at the signs of Honkai Erosion, "Can you show me all of it?"
He said so, and Mei lowered her head slightly, and after a while, she stood up.
The white bathrobe looked wider on Mei's slender body. Mei's right hand was. placed on the belt. Under Otto's gaze, a slight rubbing sound of clothes.
The bathrobe slowly slipped off Mei's body and piled up at her feet.
"You're beautiful." Otto couldn't help but say these two words.
Otto's eyes stared straight at the eroded lines on Mei's body. The dark red lines appeared distinct on her snow-like skin, contrasting one another.
Mei suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe, she closed her eyes, her body trembled slightly, and her slender thighs tightened.
Otto looked at the dark red lines, and emotion surged in his heart, and his fingers stroked the lines from top to bottom.
Destroy.
He didn't look at Mei's body but kept staring at the lines.
Otto wanted to destroy these dark red lines, and his desire for destruction in his heart kept churning.
After a while, he took a long breath, bent down and picked up the bathrobe from the ground, and draped it over Mei's shoulders.
"Good girl, you have done enough."
Mei opened her eyes again, put her bathrobe back on, and sat down.
The heat on Mei's body had made her dizzy, and she wanted to just fall asleep, but she forced herself up and didn't let the drowsiness overcome her.
Now she is just an ordinary high school student, not the future Valkyrie who specializes in cooking.
She was terrified and confused.
Her father went to prison and now her body is sick, and she had nothing to rely on.
Even the history of encountering the main cast was changed by Otto, and no one helped her and she had no one to depend on, which caused her mental state to become increasingly unstable.
"What happened to her body?" Otto suppressed the destructive desire in his heart and asked Rita who was standing by.
"After Miss Mei woke up, her body began to absorb the surrounding Honkai energy, and it accumulated in her body, causing her body to be eroded by the energy."
Rita said then she looked at the bewildered Raiden Mei, who did not understand what Honkai Energy was, she only knew that her body had changed.
Otto reached out and patted Mei's shoulder. He could see her panic. Before this, she was just a young girl who didn't know anything about the world.
"Mei, don't be afraid, leave it to us, we are professionals at this."
Otto said with a smile, there was no other living person who understands Honkai better than Schicksal.
But Otto could see that her mood was still the same, and it didn't change because of Otto's words, and Otto thought about it for a while, and he gave Raiden Mei a promise.
"No matter what happens, I will free Ryoma and rescue him."
Otto made another promise, and then he looked up to Rita and said, "Remember."
After he finished speaking, he smiled, and then touched Mei's head, "Brother Ryoma and I are good friends, his daughter is my daughter, and I will handle your problems, trust me."
After hearing Otto's words, Mei calmed down a bit.
Otto breathed a sigh of relief, Mei's heart was closed up due to the upheaval of her family, and Kiana, who could open her heart, didn't meet her, which made Otto wonder if there was a problem with his move of separating the two.
But Mei was in such a sorry state, Otto asked.
"When did your body feel strange? For example, where do you think there's something wrong?"
"Or, someone is bewitching your mind?"
When Mei heard Otto's words, she hesitated, which made Otto narrow his eyes.
"Take me as a doctor now, patients can't lie to the doctor about their condition, Otto said kindly, as he took off the mask on his face and showed Mei his face.
Otto had a friendly smile, which made people feel very close.
"Can you tell me? Mei."
Looking at Otto's friendly face, Mei said in a low voice, "Sometimes there is a voice in my head, and when I'm emotional, she will come out to talk."
Voice? It's her Herrscher personality.
Otto judged keenly, and he continued to ask, "Is that voice just bothering you? What strange things happened? For example, were you taken away by a strange man wearing a scarf at noon today, did the voice come out again?"
Mei recalled, "After I was taken away by the stalker, the voice appeared, and after she said something, I lost consciousness."
"I seem to have injured that person, but it doesn't feel so real. It was like a dream, and my body felt groggy.
Stalker? Welt, aren't you better at dealing with girls than how Otto used to be?
But Mei's words made Otto a little concerned, and he asked, "What did that voice say?"
"She said...it's time to start preparing for the Herrscher's arrival."
