Teresa won't starve

"So happy! That's it! Hehehe, huh?"

Sounds like a big fool...

"..."

After laughing for a while, probably Karen herself felt a little embarrassed, so she stopped slowly.

Looking at her disheveled appearance, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have not drank water for a long time, so she wanted to get water from the table next to her.

It turned out that it was an empty glass when I brought it over, and then I realized that I forgot to pour it.Simply because my daughter is already awake, I'll just pour another cup.

"Would you like some milk? Mom will get you a glass?"

Seeing her daughter nodding in agreement, Karen picked up the water glass and walked towards the living room.

But as soon as Karen stepped through the bedroom door, she immediately raised her head back, pointed at her daughter, and said with a stern expression:

"Don't lie down and sleep! Don't get out of bed and walk! Obediently wait for mother to come back! Do you understand?"

"Ah."

It was only then that he hummed a tune of unknown meaning, full of 'satisfaction', and went to warm his daughter's milk.

The little girl stared at the door for a while, then moved her eyes to other places; she began to recall what happened before, and slowly some details that she hadn't noticed began to come to her mind.

One of the most incomprehensible to her is that she seems to have the latent power to create fire.

"I remember, it seems to be..."

The little girl tried to raise her left hand, recalling her own feeling.

Then--

crackle! !

The blue electric arc exploded between her fingers, startling the little girl who thought she would catch fire.And as his mentality changed, the arc disappeared in an instant.

Just at this time, Karen, who had warmed up the milk, walked to the door.After coming in, seeing her daughter maintaining that posture, she asked suspiciously:

"You were just doing something bad, weren't you?"

"..."

But even the little girl didn't know how to explain what happened just now.

Fortunately, Karen just came here to trick her, just like she usually ran out suddenly to scare her daughter.

Seeing that his daughter was not frightened by him, he walked over to sit by her daughter's bed with a bored face, and handed her milk that was just warm enough to drink.

"Thirsty, drink."

"Ah."

"Drink slowly, don't choke."

Seeing her daughter drinking milk with both hands, Kallen, who had nothing to do for a while, straightened her hair and put her half-dressed and half-taken-off clothes into proper positions.

When her fingers touched her, she was soaked in sweat and was no longer smooth. Instead, her skin was soft and could not be rubbed.

I just remembered that my daughter was sweating a lot, and it was uncomfortable to continue wearing sweaty clothes; after she had almost finished drinking the milk, she suggested taking a bath:

"I just found out that you are a bit rotten. Let's go take a bath with mom?"

"Have it?"

The little girl raised her arm and sniffed, and she could indeed smell a smell of expired food. (Note)

"Go, go, take a shower, take a shower!"

Karen didn't care whether her daughter objected or not, so she carried her to the bathroom.After bringing the inside to the right temperature, I let my daughter wrapped in a blanket come in.

Turn on the shower head and give her a shower to warm her up and wash away the uncomfortable sweat.

After the skin is soaked in water, wash off all the dirt on the body.Then he dragged his daughter into the bathtub filled with water, and sat down leaning on his own body.

He raised his hand around the braid tied into a ring twist (like the lily of the valley), and poked it on his daughter's tender face:

"How is it? Are you comfortable now?"

The little girl glanced back at Karen who had her hair up.Nodding his head, he put his back on Kallen's body again: "It's much better."

"Little troublemaker!"

Karen hugged her daughter and smiled, feeling a little sleepy after relaxing physically and mentally.But just when her eyes were about to close, she pulled herself together and forced herself not to fall asleep.

At least you can't fall asleep in the bathtub, it will cause trouble for your daughter.

Then I started looking for topics to distract my attention.

"Hey! That's right! Mom hasn't asked you for a long time, can you still see 'that person' now?"

If it was placed before, Karen would probably still believe in Otto's conclusion, which is purely a phantom formed by her daughter's two eyes out of focus.But what happened yesterday made her think a lot, and gradually began to wonder if it was just an illusion.

To this, the little girl also answered truthfully: "I can't see it here."

"I can't see it here..."

That is, you can see it all the time?

Although even if there are ghosts, it is mostly related to Honkai, Kallen will never be afraid of Honkai; but as long as she thinks of such an existence around her, she will always stand on the side and observe them.

That feels very creepy!

However, since nothing happened after so many years, it is likely that nothing will happen in the future.Based on this inference, Karen decided to put the matter aside for the time being.

It's useless to continue to struggle, even if you know, you can't do anything.

1512 "Theresa's Gap"

the other side.

In his own laboratory (note), Otto is testing the components contained in his daughter's blood.It is not only to know the source of her anger ability, but also to predict the hidden dangers hidden in her blood in advance.

At least I can no longer be in a hurry like yesterday when encountering problems.

However, after repeated researches, there was no definite result at all.

Even if he extracted the gene of the Houkai beast alone, he finally found that the traits expressed by that gene seemed to be not much different from the emperor-level Houkai beasts such as the former king of Houkai.

Even if the video of hunting Shiva was rediscovered, the final conclusion is only confirmed-Shiva does not seem to have such ability.

So what is the problem?

Staring at the blood still in the test tube, Otto, who couldn't figure it out, decided to put it aside for a while, turned his head and started testing another thing.It was the strange weapon in the daughter's hands that had changed from a training tool to a metal sword.

Of course, the great sword itself is not a rare weapon.

Strange is strange in that it can shoot flames in the daughter's hands.

But judging from the molecular structure analyzed by the instrument, the composition and density of the great sword at this time are not even any different from the previous training props.

This is simply a serious violation of Otto's worldview.

How can a weapon change from one substance to another without changing its structure, mass, density, composition, etc.—is this reasonable?

Even the melting point has changed from the original 4000 degrees to 20000 degrees without deformation.As for how many degrees higher it can melt, Otto didn't continue testing.

Because the existing machines in the laboratory can't reach the high temperature of more than 20000 degrees.

"If there is a void at this time, then..."

As soon as this idea appeared, Otto immediately dispelled it.

Regarding the intention of the management personality of the first God's Key Void Manzo, he already knew it when he obtained Void Manzang.

It's just that some things happened in the middle, which made history a huge turning point, and the childhood sweethearts Otto and Karen finally came together.

At that time, Otto decisively sealed up the void.He didn't allow any accidents in his marriage and later life because of this thing.

Looking back at this moment, I can't help feeling a little emotional for a while.

"In the end, people still have to rely on themselves."

This is the truth he has learned in hundreds of years of long life. After all, external power is borrowed and must be returned in the end.

Because of all that Otto has now, he will never give it to anyone, and he will never allow anyone to take it away.

"Don't worry, Karen. I will protect the future of you and Teresa."

......

Repeated and boring testing, recording, retesting, and recording.

After hours of intense mental work, even with Otto's physique, he couldn't help but feel a headache.Without any progress, he squeezed his forehead to relieve the pain, and at the same time found the video recorded yesterday.

He decided to look again at what happened yesterday to see if he could find a clue.After watching it five or six times over and over again, I pressed pause at an inconspicuous position in the second half of the video.

It was a short shot that lasted less than a second.

It is so short that if you don't focus on the data, you can't find it at all.

"what is this!?"

Excited, he stood up all of a sudden, and the chairs behind him were overturned to the ground.But Otto didn't care about it at all, his eyes were all covered by the extremely inconspicuous row of data in the lower left corner.

A row of values ​​that he hardly ever looked at.

At this time, he noticed that the concentration of this emergy value was somewhat high, and some places that he thought did not make sense seemed to have a new explanation: "Yes! It is the Houkai energy! The power of the Houkai beast, the dead warrior, and the Herrscher all come from the Houkai energy! Even a considerable part of the weapons, the Valkyrie abilities, and the stigmata are..."

But a new problem also came——

How did so much damage happen?Why did it suddenly disappear?

Otto felt that there was a big hidden danger in it, and it would become extremely troublesome if he didn't figure it out.

"Maybe, I should talk to Kallen..."

Do not!

After just going through it in his mind, Otto immediately dismissed the idea.If you tell Karen now, you will be harming her at all, and there will be no need to worry about it at that time.

He will do everything possible to prevent such a thing from happening!

Looking up at the time, Otto realized that he had been working all day, but he forgot to cook for the mother and daughter.I couldn't help laughing at myself: "I'm really not a competent cook!"

He even forgot his wife and daughter for the sake of work, maybe he already belongs to the category of scumbags.

"Forget it, go and see them. I'll come back when I'm done."

Looking at the messy things on the workbench, Otto didn't even bother to tidy them up.He took off his overalls, took off his glasses and put them aside together.

In this way, wearing a simple white shirt and suit pants, he walked to the room shared by his wife and daughter.Even on the road, they could faintly hear their conversation.

This made his steps much lighter.

however.

When he walked to the half-open door, the raised hand was slowly lowered, and the voice was stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter it.

Silently staring at the two people who were only covered with a blanket and didn't wear any other clothes; even if he didn't listen carefully at this time, their voices clearly reached Otto's ears.

"...It's amazing! It's the first time my mother fought against the Houkai beast, but she was terrified to death! To be honest, are you afraid?"

"No."

The little girl who was resting on Karen's arm answered without any hesitation.After thinking for a while, I added some thoughts at the time: "I'm a little happy."

"happy?"

Hearing this, the scene of that day appeared in Karen's mind.When I think of my daughter's smile at that time, I feel uncomfortable all over: "Then you are not happy with your mother?"

"..."

The little girl thought for a while, then buried her head in Karen's chest, like a little ostrich escaping from reality.

Kallen couldn't help laughing after seeing it:

"Okay, okay, mom won't talk. Put your head up and sleep, it will bore you."

"Oh......"

Listening to the mother and daughter's voice gradually lowered.

Otto slowly closed the door of the room, and left here quietly, as if he had never been here before.
