Chapter 59: Is Otto Actually the Ultimate Granddaughter-Con?
The news of the Honkai Impact 3rd version update naturally caught Theresa's attention. However, due to work commitments during the day, she only had time to log in at night. Her "work" primarily involved representing Otto Apocalypse and the Schicksal Consortium to offer condolences to strategic partners in Arc City. This was also a duty that the future successor of the Schicksal Consortium had to fulfill.
Just how much Otto Apocalypse doted on Theresa was a fact known by everyone in Schicksal, even the cleaning ladies. After all, Otto personally designed Theresa's clothes; he had even established a dedicated brand solely for the purpose of making various styles of new outfits for her.
"Grandpa worries too much..."
Theresa recalled how, every time she returned home, no matter how busy he was, Otto would come running out. In front of everyone, he would spread his arms wide and shout: "Theresa, Grandpa's good granddaughter, come give me a hug!"
Theresa couldn't help but cover her face. She truly wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into! She wasn't a three-year-old child; being asked for a hug at her age was simply too embarrassing!
"And there's Grandma Kallen too. Although I know she means well, can a human actually eat her 'hellish cooking'?"
Kallen truly inherited the fine traditions of the Kaslana family. The meals she prepared were truly appalling. Yet, her Grandpa acted as if he were possessed; every time, he would lick the plates clean and cheer with a blissful expression: "Too delicious! Kallen's cooking is the best in the world!"
Watching her Grandpa's blissful, silly grin, Theresa felt even more helpless. You old man! Showing off your affection in front of your granddaughter—what is the point!
"And then there's Auntie Yae. Her cooking is indeed delicious, but she keeps stuffing food into my mouth even when I can't eat anymore. If I stay a few more days, I'll definitely turn into a little pig!"
Auntie Yae—Yae Sakura—was Kallen's dearest friend. However, for some reason, her relationship with Grandpa seemed quite poor. The two of them would constantly bicker and trade barbs whenever they met, creating a strange atmosphere of tension. Whenever she was present, Yae Sakura and Otto would engage in various pointless competitions to see who was "best to Theresa."
Theresa was the one who suffered. These duels only unfolded when Kallen was absent. If Kallen were there, the two of them became "perfectly harmonious," acting as close as old friends. Later, she heard from Amber that it was all because Grandma Kallen was too charming. At the time, Theresa didn't understand what she meant. Amber sighed and said: "The so-called monogamy refers to having one wife and one husband..."
Theresa: "???"
From that day on, Theresa viewed Kallen with awe. She's way too capable, isn't she?
Sigh.
At the thought of this, Theresa felt her pressure increase. Her Grandpa's desire to retire was growing stronger; otherwise, he wouldn't be piling so many responsibilities onto her. He clearly wanted to pass the position to her as quickly as possible so he could enjoy his "threesome" world with Kallen and... uh, Auntie Yae?
...No, she really couldn't understand that kind of thing! It was far too explosive!
Anyway, better not think about it... time to play some games.
Theresa opened her stream and continued playing Honkai Impact 3rd. Usually, her streams were focused on singing, but since she started Honkai 3rd, she was basically playing the game every time she went live. Of course, the fans had no objections; after all, watching Theresa play as Theresa was incredibly entertaining.
After a brief overview of the update content, Theresa discovered that the battlesuits related to her had finally officially launched.
"Valkyrie Pledge? That's quite a nice name."
Theresa went for the gacha for the first time, securing all three battlesuits along with their Stigmata. Her luck was good today; she managed to complete the sets without spending too much. After a brief trial, Theresa's expression turned somewhat odd. Because this... how should she put it...
[Valkyrie Pledge, also known as: The Judah Launcher!]
Many players who had started early that morning were already familiar with Theresa's battlesuits. Pledge was exactly what the chat said—a launcher for the weapon Oath of Judah. The terrifying Judah could deal incredibly high-frequency lightning damage in a short time. The sheer density of numbers on the screen made one's scalp go numb! As for Pledge's own moves, they weren't useless, just... better than nothing.
[Now I know why the Theresa in the game loves bringing out Judah so much!]
[LMAO, Judah's strength is so high, no wonder Theresa shouts 'Do you want to be crushed by Judah?']
[No, looking at this, it's not being crushed by Judah—it's being turned into a pincushion by the weapons shot out of it!]
The chat's discussion left Theresa speechless. She could see that the specialty of her character was relying on the deployed Cross weapon, which stayed on the field to provide buffs and deal massive damage. In short, the weapon skill of the Cross was vital to Theresa.
"Cross Launcher" did seem to be an accurate description. [Violet Executer]could deal massive Bleed damage to enemies. As for [Celestial Hymn], it was the battlesuit Theresa was most satisfied with; truly, seeing herself in that dress was quite beautiful.
Theresa added the suits to her team and began experiencing the latest main story chapters, which also answered some of her previous questions. But seeing that Chapter 7, "The Rebel Sword Directed at the Heavens," was still locked, she felt like spitting blood.
Dammit! Another cliffhanger!
Despite her complaints, Theresa opened the Honkai Chronicles to experience the side story stage, [Everlasting Memory].
[Here it comes! I've been waiting specifically for this!]
[I'm dying here, brothers! I'm so looking forward to Teriri's expression!]
[I wonder how Teriri will react when she sees Otto's performance? I can't wait!]
What? What?
The rapid-fire comments left Theresa bewildered. What do you mean, how will I react to Grandpa's performance? Has Grandpa done something in the [Everlasting Memory]stage?
With that in mind, Theresa didn't hesitate any longer and entered [Everlasting Memory]!
