Chapter 319: Uh... Lord Otto Is Eating a Peach.
'Are you okay, Otto?'
'Are you okay, Otto?'
....xN
'Are you okay, Otto?'
With Otto unresponsive for so long, Fu Lin peeked curiously, but before he could even see him, Kallen's concerned voice echoed in his ears.
Hearing Kallen's voice, a flash of realization crossed Fu Lin's face, and he muttered in disbelief,
"So terrifying~! It was supposed to be a video bullying him, but he actually enjoyed it? Profited from it?!"
----------------------------
After listening to it hundreds of times, Otto finally remembered that the livestream was still ongoing, but when he saw the screen full of mentions of himself, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈What happened?〉
Tesla, 〈Yo~ isn't this our great Overseer of Schicksal~〉
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈Grandpa, you finally showed up. Take a look at the earlier chat messages.〉
Seeing his granddaughter Theresa's message, Otto scrolled up. Upon seeing the comments about his soulium body making sounds, his expression instantly darkened.
From the detailed commentary and observations, Otto was now absolutely sure that the two hosts of the livestream were the ones who had once infiltrated Schicksal and beaten him up.
[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈Heh...〉
'Did Otto figure us out? Click~'
Fu Shi sat cross-legged barefoot on the sofa, holding snacks summoned from the livestream space, watching Otto float past the screen, and elbowed Fu Lin.
'Are you okay, Otto?'
Fu Lin's ears were filled with Kallen's voice. He subconsciously nodded, then a sharp pain from his waist brought him back to reality.
Fu Lin shook his head and looked at Fu Shi in confusion.
'What were you saying just now?' Fu Shi let go and stared at Fu Lin with a strange look, as if he'd been brainwashed.
'Nothing much. Wasn't it inevitable Otto would figure it out? We were so obvious.'
Fu Lin let out an awkward laugh, regretting listening to Kallen's speech with Otto for hundreds of times. Then he pointed and clicked around the screen, and the video returned to the options menu.
["This isn't for me!" "I want it grilled"]
"Haha, the second ending appeared too. Let's see the other option. Whether Otto gets it right depends on this."
"By the way, it's been a while, so a reminder—there is a punishment for choosing wrong."
Fu Lin reminded through the player, then lightly clicked on the other option, and another side video began to play.
**[Host Otto raises his hand to decline, saying with a resistant expression, "Ah, no, no, this is too scary, not for me!"]
Yae Sakura lowered her eyes, seemingly disappointed, then looked at Kallen and smiled, "Hmm~ What a shame, let's keep it for ourselves then~ Kallen."
Kallen's eyes sparkled at the words, with a bit of drool at the corner of her lips.
"Uh…"
Otto was startled, then closed his eyes, shook his finger and calmly said, "Just kidding. A true gourmet never misses any potential surprise."
Otto reached out to Yae Sakura and said, "Please give it to me."**
Fu Shi turned to Fu Lin, holding a french fry like a microphone near his mouth, and asked seriously, "Otto, were you forced, or was it voluntary?"
Fu Lin, with the fry in his mouth, replied just as seriously, "It was forced voluntariness."
Fu Shi smirked, "Oh?"
"All for Kallen. I'll endure!" Fu Lin swallowed the fry and spoke in unison with Otto. Whether it was coincidence or not—who knew?
[Miss Lily] Otto stared at Fu Lin and Fu Shi on the screen, slowly clenching his fist, 〈All for Kallen. I'll endure!〉
[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈....〉
Tesla, 〈Hahaha, you two hosts are so savage. You even predicted Otto's line, hahaha.〉
Kiana, 〈Tsk tsk, our Overseer of Schicksal is kinda pitiful in love. Good thing Mei only loves me.〉
Mei, 〈Kiana, what are you saying? So many people are watching… it's embarrassing...〉
Raiden Ryoma, 〈.....〉
Siegfried, 〈Yo, Brother Ryoma, you're in the livestream too? Long time no see, hope you've been well!〉
Mei, 〈Dad?!〉
Kiana, 〈Father-in-law?!〉
Raiden Ryoma, 〈....〉
Raiden Ryoma, 〈Siegfried, let's have a drink tonight.〉
Siegfried, 〈Eh? That's rare, you usually scowl and keep your distance. You're actually asking me for drinks today, hahaha.〉
Raiden Ryoma took out the Plasma Phantom Gun- Latest Model, eyes glinting red, 〈Midnight tonight. Don't be late.〉
Siegfried, 〈No problem, hahaha.〉
'Blazing Flame', 〈.....〉
"Dark night, sinister wind, perfect for a murder… Siegfried's doomed tonight." Fu Shi did some mock fortune-telling, lips curving up.
Siegfried, 〈Ryoma, maybe we reschedule?〉
Raiden Ryoma, 〈No worries. I'll come find you tonight.〉
**[The video continues, with Host Otto accepting the bag, pulling out a crimson fishball and taking a bite, slowly savoring it with closed eyes.]
"Ugh! Ahhh~"
Suddenly, Otto's eyes flew open. Two spirals spun wildly in his eyes, a faint blush appeared on his cheeks, and clear drool dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Then, images from Otto's mind began to appear onscreen. The screen went white, and Kallen's figure gradually came into view.
Kallen rested her chin on her hand, holding a juicy peach in the other, her face radiating an enchanting smile.
"My lord, come have some peach, haha~"
Kallen's voice was low and tender, dreamlike, her laugh like silver bells, her charm irresistible. Otto's lovestruck laughter followed.**
Click! Click! Click!
Each click of the camera shutter captured a beautiful moment—Otto recording those fleeting glimpses of joy.
"Oh right, there's also audio."
Otto's eyes lit up. He quickly put down the camera, clipped the audio, and while listening to Kallen's repeated invitations, he contacted Amber,
"Amber, bring me a peach."
Amber paused her work, confused, and raised her head with a puzzled expression, "Was that Lord Otto? What did Lord Otto say just now? He wants a peach?"
Meanwhile, the livestream room was in an uproar.
Tesla, 〈Eww, that's disgusting. Never thought Otto was that kind of person.〉
Einstein, 〈Shocking! The Overseer of Schicksal is actually like this!〉
Fu Shi clapped, "Beautiful. You should start working for UC's clickbait department tomorrow. UC needs people like you."
Durandal, 〈The Overseer must have his reasons for doing this.〉
"Absurd! Don't you understand the pure-hearted dedication of Otto's love? How could you slander him so?" Fu Lin slammed the table in defense, but then sat down quietly after recalling Otto's creepy smile in the video.
"Ahem, I was yelling too loud just now. I meant the real-life Otto, not the host version in the video."
"By the way, where did Otto go again?" Fu Shi voiced a soul-deep question.
Tesla, 〈Yeah, where's that scoundrel Otto?〉
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈@Amber Where's Grandpa?〉
Amber, 〈Lady Theresa, uh… Lord Otto is eating a peach.〉
Tesla, 〈Huh?〉
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈Huh?〉
Durandal, 〈Huh?〉
...
Fu Lin, "Ah, this!"
Fu Shi, "As expected of Otto."
