Chapter 58 Otto: A mere captain,
Instead of tangling around in tangent, it is better to cut the Gordian knot and get things done in one go.
That was a complete rejection! He will tell Miss Rita very politely that he was a man who valued family...
And just when he wanted to say the lines he had been brewing for a long time...
Suddenly, the doorbell behind him rang again.
"You are Mr. Sora, right?" A very elegant male voice interrupted what Sora wanted to say to Rita.
He was startled by the sudden interruption and looked back.
Is it a blond man wearing the Schicksal costume that is very common on TV
He was wearing clothes with a strong religious atmosphere. Although it was deliberately concealed, his every move undoubtedly exposed the fact that he had been in a high position for a long time.
"Are you a customer? Sorry, we haven't officially opened for business yet..." Sora frowned, not knowing why he felt uneasy at the sight of the blond man.
For some unknown reason, He wanted to give this man a hard punch on his pretentious face!
But he held back. After all, hitting someone just because of his feelings when they first met was a bit...
Sora took a deep breath to calm his restless mood and said in a kind tone, "Sir, we open after nine o'clock, and some freshly made desserts are not ready yet."
"If necessary, please come after nine o'clock..." After saying this, he also made a gesture to see the guest off.
"No, no, no! Mr. Sora, I think you misunderstood. I am here for some business" The man introduced himself.
"My name is Otto. I'm the direct superior of Miss Durandal and Miss Rita. It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Sora." After saying this, Mr. Otto stretched out his right hand wearing a white glove.
Sora hesitated for a moment and also extended his hand.
The two hands shook and then separated quickly...
Rita, who was standing aside at this moment, was in a perfect working state.
She gave a very standard smile and said, "Bishop Otto and Mr. Sora, the tea is ready for you. If you have anything to discuss, we can drink while we chat."
"Oh? The black tea brewed by Rita herself... is really rare." Otto looked at Sora meaningfully.
It's just that this look makes Sora want to dig out the eyes of this little golden retriever. Sora doesn't know where this hostility toward the person called Otto came from.
Rita, who was standing aside, had a hint of hidden worry in her eyes, although she thought she had concealed this slight hostility well.
But how could this be hidden from Rita, who had received professional training, and Bishop Otto, who was familiar with the ways of the world?
But Otto didn't care too much. Instead, he sat down carelessly, treating this place as his own exclusive office in the Schicksal Headquarters.
He sat there with his legs crossed, tasting the black tea that Rita had brewed herself: "It still tastes good..."
As for the hostility from the past, Bishop Otto said he understood it very well.
After all, he had given the captain of the Hyperion a bad blow at the beginning in another world, so it was normal for him to be instinctively hostile.
His mind unconsciously thought of himself in another world because he lost Kallen and did hundreds of years of crap there.
Sometimes he even wants to beat himself up, let alone the captain in front of him...
"Please sit down, Mr. Sora. Don't be shy; I have something to talk to you about..." Otto pointed to the chair next to him.
Sora sat down a little irritably: "Mr. Otto, do you want to talk to Durandal and Rita about something? Then please don't disturb me..."
"I came here specially for you today, Mr. Sora." Otto put down the teacup in his hand.
He looked at Sora with a very serious look: "Mr. Sora, you have been feeling very restless and irritable recently, and..."
Otto showed a meaningful expression: "And just last night, did you see it? Something beyond your understanding..."
"!" Sora frowned and looked at Rita in confusion.
Rita, who had been standing next to him like a servant, shook her head very slightly, indicating that she had not told her boss about this matter.
Sora frowned and said to Bishop Otto: "Sir, I don't know what you are talking about..."
But the tone had softened a little...
"If you don't know, then there's no need to tell me." Otto crossed his legs again and smiled confidently, "However, what happened last night has been erased, and there is no trace left."
"No one knows and there's no trace left, which means it never happened, right?" Otto's words were full of induction.
"..." Sora had always been silent. This pretentious golden-haired guy in front of him must know something. "So, did you guys do the surveillance?"
Bishop Otto was slightly stunned at first, then nodded confidently: "Smart!"
"And as a clergyman, you had an abnormal negative feeling towards me when you first met me; didn't you notice that there was something wrong?"
"I heard that Schicksal is a religion with a long history in Europe. Could it be..." At this moment, he caught some information revealed by Otto and combined it with what he encountered last night...
Suddenly, a long-lost excitement rose in Sora's heart. Could it be that those novels he read when he was a child were all true?
"Shh..." Otto made a silencing gesture to Sora, "Mr. Sora, if you have guessed something, don't say it..."
"Anyway, our special department will take over what happens next. Mr. Sora has professionals coming. You don't have to worry about what happens next. Just live your normal life."
"I'll leave it to you guys from now on." He nodded excitedly, "Master Otto, how about you take a look at my qualifications?"
Bishop Otto looked at him silently for a moment: "Come, give me your hand; I will show you..."
"Do foreigners also read palms?" Sora asked with some doubt.
"Some things have the same end in different ways and are actually pretty much the same..." Bishop Otto was watching there very seriously and said solemnly while palm reading.
Rita, who was standing by, had a rather speechless expression on her face: 'It turns out that the Bishop is also so good at fooling people...'
