Chapter 262 Pure-hearted Otto
"Karen, have you packed everything?"
On a small path in Klossen, Luo Chen looked at the large box in Karen's hands and the handbag he had made himself on her shoulder, and spoke in a fatherly tone.
"Don't worry, teacher, I've already packed!"
"I packed all your luggage, what do you mean you packed it?"
Otto, standing to the side, teased Karen, saying that he had prepared two full suitcases of luggage for her, but Karen said that it was inconvenient to bring too much stuff, so Otto reduced it to one suitcase.
"That's right, you cleaned it up. My great inventor is the best to me!"
Karen's radiant smile and blunt words made Otto blush. Luo Chen was happy to watch the two of them being affectionate, so he remained silent, leaning against a tree as Otto instructed Karen on things to be careful about when she went out.
"Karen, extend your left hand."
"What's wrong, teacher?"
Although Karen was puzzled, she still extended her left hand. Luo Chen grasped Karen's left hand with his right hand, and the bracelet on his arm glowed slightly before finally transferring to Karen's hand.
"I'm entrusting this to you. It will protect you if you encounter any danger."
"Really? Thank you, teacher!"
Karen stared at the bracelet. She had seen Luo Chen use it many times. The knife it transformed into could even catch fire. Karen couldn't wait to try it out.
"Don't get excited yet. You can't use this bracelet normally. It will only help you defend yourself when you encounter danger. Otherwise, you'll have to handle things yourself."
While it's described as automatic defense, it's actually Rei secretly controlling the Jizo Mitama to protect Kallen from harm.
Last night, Luo Chen instructed Ling to keep a close eye on Karen and prevent her from being bewitched by the evil things in the black box. Then, Ling angrily punched Luo Chen for a long time, saying that the thing in the black box was herself, and she was very unhappy with Luo Chen saying that.
"Oh, then what's the point of me carrying this?"
Karen looked at the shimmering bracelet on her wrist with a bitter expression, then pouted and grabbed Luo Chen's arm.
"Teacher, can you let me play with your weapon?"
Faced with Karen's coquettish pleading, Luo Chen shook his head, flicked her forehead, and patiently explained, "My weapon is too dangerous; you can't use it."
"OK then."
Karen didn't press the matter further. She was only thinking about it; it would be troublesome if she used it and encountered problems.
"It's getting late, I should go."
Karen took out her pocket watch and glanced at it. If she didn't leave soon, she might miss the ship.
"Go ahead. It doesn't matter if you don't complete the mission. Your safe return is the most important thing."
Luo Chen instructed Karen, who nodded vigorously, shaking the hand with the bracelet on it a few times.
"I know, teacher, don't worry! Besides, I still have the trump card you gave me."
"Oh right, I almost forgot something!"
Karen feigned sudden realization, walked over to Otto, kissed him on the cheek while he looked on in confusion, and ran away before Otto could react.
"Wow, when did Karen learn this?"
Luo Chen put on a gossipy expression and watched Karen run away. When did this girl learn this skill?
Karen's actions successfully shut down Otto's brain. He stood there dumbfounded, staring straight ahead, not reacting until Karen's figure disappeared.
"Snap out of it, Karen's already gone far away."
Luo Chen snapped his fingers at Otto's face. It took Otto several seconds to come to his senses. He shook his head with a smile, clearly indicating that his brain wasn't fully operational yet.
"I didn't expect Karen to be so proactive."
Seeing that Otto was still standing there in a daze, Luo Chen went up and kicked him, knocking him out of his daze and kicking him into the bushes next to him, leaving only a pair of boots sticking out.
"Teacher, is it really necessary to use so much force?"
Otto emerged from the bushes looking disheveled, with a few leaves still on his head, and looked at Luo Chen with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
"How can you wake up without putting in some effort?"
Luo Chen said this as a matter of course, helped Otto brush the leaves off his head, and hooked his arm around his neck as they walked toward town.
"Let's go get something to eat, I'm a little hungry."
"Teacher, didn't you just have breakfast?"
Otto was completely dragged along by Luo Chen. Only after finally breaking free from Luo Chen's arm was Otto able to straighten his collar, which Luo Chen had messed up.
"We've had breakfast, but we haven't had dessert yet. Our usual dessert shop has a special edition cake today, and the owner and I have already pre-ordered it."
The two arrived at the dessert shop, and Otto saw a familiar face in the rest area outside the shop—Eleanor, who was on vacation and had nothing to do.
Eleanor had a box of cream puffs on her lap and was holding one in her hand. She was about to eat the one in her hand when she saw Otto looking at her, and she stopped in her tracks.
"Isn't that the little girl you saved?"
Luo Chen saw Eleanor and whispered something in Otto's ear. Otto hummed in response and walked over alone.
"Lord Otto."
Eleanor put down the cream puff, placed the box beside her, and bowed slightly to Otto as a greeting.
"Are you out shopping?"
Otto pointed to the box of cream puffs, and Eleanor nodded, picked up the box, and opened it in front of Otto.
"Would you like to try one, Lord Otto?"
"No need, where are my teacher and me?"
Otto turned around halfway through his sentence, but Luo Chen was nowhere to be seen; there was no one behind him.
Looking inside the store, Otto saw Luo Chen chatting with the staff while holding a cake. After paying, he came out carrying three boxes of cakes.
"Have you two finished talking?"
Luo Chen found a table, put the cake down, and casually sat down in a chair, calling out to Otto and Eleanor.
"You two come here quickly, this is a limited edition, thank goodness I ordered it in advance."
"Teacher, you're really quick!"
If Otto remembered correctly, only two minutes had passed between when he came to chat with Eleanor and when he discovered that Luo Chen was missing, and Luo Chen had already come out with his things.
"How can you talk like that? I hate it when people say I'm fast!"
Luo Chen leaned back in his chair, about to pick up a fork to eat his cake, when he saw Eleanor still standing there, winking at Otto.
Otto understood Luo Chen's thoughts and turned to look at Eleanor, who was hesitating in place. She looked like she wanted to eat but didn't dare to move.
“Eleanor, come here. You should have met him a few times. This is my teacher.”
"Greetings, Lord Luo Chen."
Eleanor came over and greeted Luo Chen, but Luo Chen casually waved her down, telling her to sit down quickly, as he didn't need such trivial greetings.
Eleanor sat down and watched Otto and Luo Chen chatting and laughing. This was very different from the Otto she usually saw, and Eleanor became even more curious about Luo Chen's background.
"Otto, why is that girl staring at me like that?"
Eleanor kept staring at Luo Chen without realizing it herself, but Luo Chen felt very uncomfortable being stared at. He leaned close to Otto's ear and whispered something to make sure Eleanor didn't hear him, otherwise she would be mortified.
"do not know."
Otto, with a fork in his mouth and shaking his head with minimal movement, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and an idea popped into his head.
"Teacher, can I ask you for a favor?"
"What's the matter?"
Luo Chen finished his own cake and casually tried to dig into Otto's with his fork. Otto slapped Luo Chen's hand away and quickly finished his cake.
After finishing the cake, Otto took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, mimicking the expression Luo Chen used to make when he tricked him, which made Luo Chen's body tremble.
"Damn, that's exactly how it feels! Otto, you're definitely trying to trick me again!"
"Teacher, is it really necessary to go this far?"
Otto stopped smiling. Seeing Luo Chen's PTSD-induced urges triggered Otto's sense of pleasure, giving him an urge to spread his arms wide.
"Is it really that bad? Don't you know how lewd your smile is?"
Luo Chen said irritably, he couldn't understand why. Otto was so cute when he was a child, but now he always looks like a villain. He's completely gone astray.
"No way! I'm just imitating you, teacher."
"Go away! I'm not like you, where a smile means trouble is brewing."
"Isn't that because you taught me well, teacher?"
Eleanor ate her cake in small bites, listening to the two men's complaints. She felt that Otto was very different from the person she remembered, as if he were a completely different person.
Chapter 263 Taking things from Teacher Shun's house is my duty, Otto.
"I understand the logic, but I still don't understand why you brought this girl here?"
In Luo Chen's courtyard, Otto and Luo Chen sat facing each other at the stone table. Luo Chen looked at Eleanor standing behind Otto and put down the teapot in his hand.
"Isn't this because I wanted you, teacher, to train Eleanor?"
