There he is again...
Always doing his own thing alone under the tree. He could made a lot of friends if he tried at least socialize with the other kids.
Guess he's to smart to dwindle with unnecessary activity.
It's not like Kallen can blame Otto. He's an odd one amongst the people of his age. Probably why they put distance from him.
She's the only person who understand his struggle. The challenges Otto would face in the coming years, she felt admired. To stop the Honkai from hurting anybody.
But now? All they can do is fold papers and make a paper airplane. Cherishing the time they might not got a chance to enjoy in the future.
Seeing Otto gloomy face turn into a colorful smile was the best experience she ever felt.
When the paper plane was come to close to the ground, a boy, not far from their age, snatched it before it does. Just like Otto, he's an outcast.
Not for his intellectual, but for his boast of a dream. To become a king. A ruler that would brought hope and smile to the world. A comfort and warm protection for those who needs.
As Sougo wave at the two, he was welcome with excitement and jolly. Not so much from Otto. He despise Sougo's childish and unrealistic dream-- of how stupid it is.
Yet he never utter mean words about it. He simply laughed and told that a guy like him would never become a king if he keeps eating sweets made by his uncle.
The would-be king always ignored Otto's claims. He usually answered back with how Otto should smile more often. He could thank Kallen for that, at least.
The cheerful girl in town, a gloomy boy with a genius mind, and a kid who claimed he would be a future king. Undoubtedly the most unique trio.
Then their moment of happiness was replaced by a blazing fire that soon would burn the very earth they stood on.
The warmth of a fireplace, coupled with a glass of red wine and a plate of select cheese, completes the atmosphere.
"I never expected you would have a date with a demon lord from the future, Lord Otto." Rita and her tease words. Never gets old.
"Oh trust me, Rita. There's no sexual tension between me and my old friend here." And Otto casually played Rita in her own game.
The elephant in the room, Sougo himself, was busy with the glass of wine he's given. The red liquid inside reflects his image.
How long had it been since he had seen his own face without the mask? SOugo has never deactivated his armor since ascending the throne.
It sets the picture for those who worship him and those who oppose him. Otto, noticing that, sent Rita outside to give them some alone time without being disturbed.
After the maid excused herself, Otto asked, "You didn't just come here to take what I stole, did you?"
Sougo turned to Otto. "You think I care about that? I'm just here to give face."
"What does that mean?" Otto was naturally interested. Or rather, wary.
This man could tear down what he had been building for hundreds of years with the blink of an eye if he wanted to. Otto had to play this game carefully. If he wants to win he has to play by the rules.
"I've been watching you for hundreds of years now, and I don't like it." Sougo declared, giving a uneasiness to the recently relaxed Otto. "All the efforts that you build, all are poured into your petty goals."
