Deep in the night, inside the sanctuary of the Apocalypse family grounds.
Otto, who had broken out in a cold sweat that morning and was ultimately pulled out of his hallucinations by Vester, was now silently gazing at the shimmering golden cube before him.
If Vester happened to be standing right here, she would definitely let out an exclamation like this—
“Holy crap, Void Archives!”
—That’s right, this was the sarira possessing infinite wisdom that the first-generation ancestor of the Apocalypse family had obtained in Asia.
As a weapon created by Dr.
MEI of the Previous Era using the core of the Herrscher of Reason, it could not only replicate any item understood by the user, but its interior even contained a grand library encompassing all the wisdom and knowledge of the Previous Era, comparable to the mobile grand library of a certain Gensokyo.
Scared to tears by a senior figure.
However, not everyone was qualified to use it; only those with the highest wisdom could undo its seal.
Having witnessed the death of Kallen’s father, Otto could not help but imagine the scene of Vester lying beneath that coffin.
After all, everyone was bound to die, and Vester naturally included among them.
Unless he could acquire a power that transcended this rule and could protect her.
Harboring this goal in his heart, after hesitating for a long time, Otto placed both hands onto the sarira.
“To think that the one to undo the seal after two thousand years is actually a child.”
A gust of wind swept up, and accompanied by an intense golden light, the golden cube turned into a streak of light, hovering in front of Otto.
“So, let me guess, you have something you wish to accomplish, right?”
Seeing a strong desire in the eyes of Otto before her, she spoke teasingly.
“I want to obtain the power to protect Vester.”
“Don’t rush, let me take a look… Oh ho, this is truly interesting.”
Reading Otto’s memory, this cold voice suddenly revealed a trace of emotion.
As a Divine Key implanted with the mission of’saving humanity from Honkai’, Void Archives had always been dedicated to this.
Because of this, it had encountered countless warriors fighting against Honkai.
In Otto’s memory, she saw a person she could never forget.
“To think, it’s really just as you said.”
Looking at that familiar appearance deeply engraved in its own memory, even Void Archives was not sure whether the other party was indeed the warrior it was familiar with.
Was it an existence like reincarnation?
Or perhaps one of the backup plans left behind by Kevin and the others?
“Vester, let’s consider this your win this time.”
Thinking up to this point, Void Archives smiled helplessly in its heart.
‘The three of us might actually be able to save the world!’
Seeing the scene of another white-haired girl shouting, Void Archives froze once again.
Could she save the world?
The other party’s standard white-haired and blue-eyed appearance made Void Archives recognize her identity at a glance.
Damn it, Kevin is still chasing me!
In this trio, there was a strategist with the highest wisdom, a descendant of Kevin, and coupled with Vester, it really felt somewhat legitimate.
Void Archives suddenly wasn’t in a rush to possess Otto’s body anymore.
“Hehe, that’s very easy.” The golden stream of light before its eyes suddenly transformed, gradually turning into a humanoid shape, “Just let me stay inside your body and thoroughly witness all of this.”
“For my wait of a thousand years, adding a bit more time doesn’t matter.”
“You, why do you want to turn into her appearance?!”
“Oh? That’s right, it’s like this.”
A weird smile appeared on the face of ‘Vester’, and suddenly, she stepped forward, reaching out directly to wrap her arm around Otto’s neck.
“Otto, I found that the moment I see you, my heartbeat speeds up… Otto, it seems I’ve fallen for you~”
“Achoo!”
Vester, staying in her own room, instantly felt a chill and subconsciously looked around.
“Don’t you dare imitate her appearance to say such things!”
The tone and expression of ‘Vester’ before him, which were identical to the original person’s shyness, left Otto in a daze.
He blushed furiously, appearing somewhat lacking in confidence.
Why could this weird thing imitate her so accurately?!
“Sigh, a little virgin indeed,” Void Archives laughed with a look of disdain, “Looking like this, you won’t stand a chance, oh.”
Otto and Kallen couldn’t tell, but Void Archives could.
Whether before or now, Vester always lacked a proper sense of boundaries when interacting with males, yet sometimes blushed due to a female’s intimacy.
Not a female colleague?
Not a female colleague?
Not a female colleague?
“Fine, let me help you out.”
A very scheming thought suddenly arose in its heart, and this malicious Divine Key reached out towards the little trap Otto.
“Wh—”
Otto only felt his heart tighten, his muscles tense up, and a bizarre sensation washed over his entire body.
Even though that bizarre discomfort had already faded, she couldn’t relax at all.
A vague premonition told her that along with that discomfort, something extremely important had also left.
“Your little buddy, I’m confiscating it!”
“?”
First, he was stunned, and then Otto subconsciously looked around, seemingly wanting to find a mirror, so Void Archives very considerately transformed into a huge full-length mirror.
“Stop joking around like this, aren’t I no different from before?” Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
“Is there any possibility that you naturally look a lot like a girl?”
“…”
‘Otto, you look way too much like a girl; you’re practically born with the Trap physique.’
Vester’s evaluation surfaced in his mind; although he didn’t know the meaning of ‘Trap’, he still understood the first half of the sentence.
“What kind of joke is this?!”
Reaching out to probe a certain spot of his own, a shrill and miserable wail instantly shattered the tranquility of the night.
…
“Vester!”
Suddenly, Otto’s howling scream rang out, snapping him awake from his dream, and what greeted Vester’s eyes was the familiar ceiling.
“W-What are you doing?”
Looking at Otto who had broken through the door, Vester, who had not yet fully woken up, sat up from the bed.
Regardless of having her door kicked open in the middle of the night, Otto’s appearance of staring straight at her without speaking truly made the blonde girl feel puzzled.
“Vester, y-y-you, why are you dressed like this?”
Hearing this, Vester looked down; what she was currently wearing was a set of gauze pajamas.
Her semi-transparent hem fluttered slightly in the evening breeze, and if one looked closely, they could faintly see the fair and tender skin underneath along with a subtle pink hue.
“Why am I dressed like this? Hmmph, should I also go change clothes to welcome your arrival, or simply coax you to sleep as well, Master Otto?”
Being stared at by such a resentful gaze, Otto’s blood ran cold with fright.
Having gotten along for so long, Otto was well aware of Vester’s somewhat exaggerated morning temper.
Thrown off guard by Void Archives’s malicious sense of humor, she immediately calmed down.
“I’m sorry!”
“Tch.”
Although Vester looked displeased, after glancing at Otto, she still patiently asked: “So, what on earth happened?”
“I’ve become a girl.”
“…”
The blonde girl tilted her head.
What does this mean?
Even Vester was like this, let alone Otto who wouldn’t take the initiative to speak up.
Speechless were the two of them tonight, as the silent breeze brushed past, drying up the silence.
Just as Otto was about to be frightened away by this bizarre atmosphere, Vester suddenly moved.
“Vester, why are you closing the door… Wait, don’t pull down my pants!”
