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."
-------------------------------
[Miss Lily]Otto, 〈I'm just taking some vitamins, don't overthink it. It has absolutely nothing to do with the video.〉
A barrage of comments flew past...
Fu Lin and Fu Shi rolled their eyes—does a soulium body even need vitamins? How is this not a blatant cover-up?
While everyone was talking, the video kept playing. It wasn't long to begin with, and soon came to an end.
[Coming back from Otto's fantasy, we see Otto holding Higokumaru, trembling all over with a foolish giggle, pink hearts sparkling in his eyes.
Kallen slowly raised the Judgment of Shamash, her tone filled with disgust and impatience, "Looks like you're messing around with weird stuff again. Disgusting."
Yae Sakura nodded and asked, "He looks pretty pitiful. Should we take him to the hospital?"
The screen went black. As the sirens of an ambulance wailed, the final image froze on Otto lying in a hospital bed, his expression still vivid.]
Otto collapsed to his knees, the light in his eyes fading, muttering to himself, "Kallen despises me... Kallen despises me... no!"
Though silent, a theme song engraved in his DNA began to play...
In the livestream room...
Himeko, 〈Did the Overseer get food poisoning?〉
[Magical Girl]Theresa, 〈The fox from Yae Village actually poisoned Grandpa over Kallen? So despicable.〉
Yae Sakura, 〈???〉
Higokumaru, 〈Big Sis would never do that.〉
Fu Lin raised a finger, looking at the clueless love amateurs, and said with disdain, "Tsk tsk tsk, you really don't get it."
"You do?" Fu Shi wiped crumbs from the corner of her mouth and rolled her eyes at Fu Lin.
Fu Lin crossed her arms, her expression turning serious, and declared earnestly,
"Of course. When it comes to emotions, I know them like the back of my hand. Otto is clearly poisoned—by love."
As she spoke, Fu Lin conjured a microphone and started to sing passionately, "Here's a song called 'Love Poison' for Otto. I'm your host, Lin."
"....."
"Love is like poison, burning in your heart, it's no big deal, just love me alone. The poison in love feels like a warm embrace, like your heartbeat has stopped, but being alone is fine too."
"....."
Clap clap clap clap!
"Whoa~ awesome!"
The tone shift was so abrupt that Fu Shi stared blankly at the absorbed Fu Lin, blinking in disbelief, then couldn't help but applaud.
Kiana (clapping), 〈This stream even has a special performance~〉
Mei (clapping), 〈Sounds great.〉
[Magical Girl]Theresa, 〈Not bad at all.〉
[Miss Lily]Otto, 〈I sure am honored.〉
Himeko, 〈Damn that host!〉
[Shenzhou Tablet]Fu Hua, 〈Himeko is about to cry.〉
Kiana, 〈Aunt Himeko, if you can't find someone, just live alone.〉
Himeko, 〈Fu Hua, I'm not crying! And KIA! NA!〉
Tesla, 〈@Welt Yang What's your take on love?〉
[Sit-ups King]Welt, 〈I think... love is unpredictable. For me, it's optional.〉
Tesla, 〈.....〉
Einstein, holding a watermelon, scooped a bite into her mouth, 〈Tsk tsk tsk.〉
'Blazing Flame', 〈(Excited)(Like)(Screen licking)〉
'Blazing Flame', 〈(Excited)(Like)(Screen licking)〉
'Blazing Flame', 〈(Excited)(Like)(Screen licking)〉
.....
'Pufferfish', 〈.....〉
Fu Lin cleared his throat and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, saying, "Ahem, Blazing Flame viewer, please stop spamming, thank you."
"Lin, that's your die-hard fan~"
Fu Shi's sarcastic tone came from behind Fu Lin. Then she made a few gestures on the screen, and the spam from 'Blazing Flame' instantly ceased.
['Blazing Flame' has been muted by host Black Tiger Afu]
Kiana☆ was stunned when she saw herself muted. Then she gritted her teeth and stared at Fu Shi on the screen, her face turning red.
Suddenly, a gentle purifying force rose in her belly, calming the restlessness in her heart.
Sirin, sensing something, looked at Kiana☆, scratched her head, and stared speechlessly at the now quiet Kiana☆.
"Your mood swings are wild. Are you on your period?"
"This video has ended. There are only three possible outcomes. Looks like our Overseer Otto answered incorrectly. Ready for your punishment?"
Fu Lin sat back on the sofa, her face full of mischievous delight, clearly excited for this rare opportunity to administer a punishment.
[Miss Lily]Otto (takes a deep breath), 〈Of course, I lost the bet. I'll accept the punishment.〉
"Very good, the punishment is... singing a song."
Fu Lin scrolled through the video list, stopping at a thumbnail showing Otto playing the guitar. A glint flashed in her eyes.
[Miss Lily]Otto, 〈That's all? So simple?〉
Tesla, 〈You're letting Otto off that easy? I should be the one punishing him!〉
[Sit-ups King]Welt, 〈Ahem, I suppose I can step in if needed.〉
Fu Lin explained, "Of course it's not that simple. You have to vividly recreate the scene from the video. If it's not up to standard, you'll have to redo it."
Then he clicked on the video, and the screen began to play...
[On screen, Kallen, Judah, and the starry sky reflected on the water, then ripples formed. The camera flipped, and under Kallen's gaze, a brilliant golden shooting star streaked across the sky.
'Kallen Kallen Kallen'
As Otto's voice came in, the scene changed. Otto, holding a guitar, foot resting on a rock, stood on a breezy meadow.
Then, with a pained expression and contorted body, he strummed the strings, letting out a heart-wrenching, gut-tearing cry.
'Kallen Kallen Kallen Kallen ah Kallen Kallen'
'For you I am willing'
'To linger in the world for five hundred years'
'To end the Era of Reincarnation'
'I'll punch the End to pieces with one blow'
'It's all a happy end'
'Tonight, no one will sleep']
Hearing the lyrics about punching the End in one blow, Kevin's eye twitched, 〈....〉
[Magical Girl]Theresa, 〈Hiss! I can't believe Grandpa's about to perform this.〉
[Shenzhou Tablet]Fu Hua, 〈Unbelievable.〉
Siegfried, 〈Hiss! Just now, did Kiana boot Otto off screen? That was... beautifully done!〉
Kiana, 〈Hehe.〉
Fu Lin smirked and said, "No technique, all emotion. The lyrics are short and sweet. I'm sure with Otto's love for Kallen, this will be a piece of cake."
[Miss Lily]Otto's stiff face twitched slightly, 〈.....But of course.〉
Tesla, 〈Hahahahaha, that twisted expression is killing me. Too bad it wasn't the real him.〉
"No worries, Otto's going to perform it live in a bit. I'm already ready to laugh my head off," Fu Shi said, waving as she picked up a camcorder, ready to capture the fun to come.
