After some time, the blonde girl finally stopped insisting on leaving the two of them alone together.
The next day, the trio gathered together as usual, sitting around a round table.
Slightly different from before, the location where they gathered was no longer the Apocalypse household.
“Kallen, the taste of your family’s pastries… is very distinctive.”
Tasting a subtle saltiness from them, Vester evaluated them with extremely high emotional intelligence.
“Really? I made them, you know.”
Kallen said this with great complacency.
“No wonder you insisted on having us come to your house, Kallen. So that was the reason.”
“How is it? I really do have a talent for cooking, right?”
“Ah haha~”
The blonde girl averted her gaze and did not directly answer the other person.
“Heh.”
Otto didn’t have so many reservations and stated bluntly:
“Let me guess, could it be that you couldn’t tell sugar and salt apart, so you mixed them up?”
“Really or fake… Ptoo Ptoo Ptoo!”
Frowning because of the other’s cold smile, Kallen refused to believe it and took a bite of her own masterpiece, then stuck out her tongue with a fierce expression.
To this, Otto merely shrugged helplessly.
Having experienced the previous events and a period of grinding together, Otto and Kallen could barely manage to accept each other’s existence.
“Haha, it was just a moment of carelessness, Kallen doesn’t need to take it to heart.”
“No, Vester doesn’t need to comfort me. Actually, I have something even more important to discuss with you guys today.”
Hearing the blonde girl’s words, Kallen simply curved the corners of her mouth indifferently and directly threw out today’s main topic: New chapters come out on g.com first.
“I am here to discuss a plan to save the world with you guys!”
“Huh?”
Without any warning or buildup, the topic suddenly thrown out by Kallen left both Otto and Vester unable to react for a moment.
Seeing this, the white-haired ball of fluff in front of the two immediately glared with upright eyebrows, looking completely like a bristling cat.
“You guys didn’t forget, did you?”
“No, I just feel it’s a bit sudden.” Vester explained.
“Are you serious?” Otto expressed doubt.
Vester, who knew the plot, naturally understood Kallen’s thoughts, but Otto was different.
Because of the blonde girl’s existence, having lost the white-moonlight filter for Kallen, Otto, who was much more mature than his peers, would naturally only treat such a hollow idea as a child’s whimsical joke on a whim.
Even if Kallen possessed such determination, it would at most be a three-minute passion.
Noticing Kallen’s unkind gaze, Otto shook his head and instead began to raise a question:
“Fine, then let me ask you, what does saving the world entail?”
Saving—what an empty word.
“First of all, it’s to slaughter every single one of those Honkai Beasts!”
This land had never lacked hardships, but if one had to pick one out to talk about, the hardest to deal with was probably Honkai.
However, what right did three children have to save the world and defeat Honkai?
“Do you really think this is something we can accomplish all by ourselves?”
“Our Oscar Trio can definitely do it!”
Feeling the change in atmosphere, Kallen’s face flushed red as she said petulantly.
“Oscar?”
Oscar, namely the ‘Ao’ from Otto, the’Si’ from Vester, and the ‘Ka’ from Kallen.
“Oh, never mind that. Although saving the world is very difficult, maybe the three of us really can do it?”
“Impossible.”
“We can.”
Otto and Vester spoke simultaneously, and then locked gazes with high synchronization.
What is wrong with you—both sides’ expressions seemed to mean just that.
“Ahem, actually, it’s not entirely impossible either.”
As long as the blonde girl liked it, Otto had always been indifferent.
If Vester said so, then it was so.
“Hmph, I see those Honkai Beasts are nothing much in front of Dad. Once I become stronger than Dad in the future, none of them will be my opponents anymore.”
Kallen probably recalled the scene of Francis single-handedly suppressing a group of Honkai Beasts, and thus grew confident again.
“Your father is indeed very formidable.”
Although Otto didn’t care much for Kallen, he had to admit that Francis’s composure and strength had truly left a deep impression on him.
To be this powerful—maybe they really could defeat Honkai.
That was their thought.
Of course, Vester was not among those who thought this way.
Honkai was far more terrifying than Otto and Kallen imagined at this moment, to the extent that even the undefeated deity in their eyes, the head of the Kaslana Family, would die in battle against Honkai shortly hereafter.
“Vester, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing, just remembered some bad things.”
With that said, the blonde girl looked toward the end of the corridor.
There was the study where Francis usually spent his time.
