"Hey, secretly drinking alone again?"
"How pitiful!"
"belch!"
Yun Shuchang leaned against the door, carrying a bottle of wine, gave Margaret a silly smile, and let out a burp.
"How about I take pity on you and keep you company for a bit? Hiccup..."
Yun Shuchang swayed into the room, her body twisting and turning, but her steps remained straight.
"...So you bailed on another victory celebration?"
How many meals is this? Why are you always in such high spirits?
The smell of alcohol on her was so strong that even Margaret, who was also an alcoholic, couldn't resist it and her eyes widened slightly.
While grabbing Yun Shuchang's arm, he closed the book he had been reading and used his body to shield his wine bottle.
cough.
I don't mean anything by it, I just don't want this drunkard to ruin the wine from my hometown...
"You stingy person! I just, hiccup, drank a little bit too much... just a little bit."
"You should be careful, lest you actually cause problems from drinking too much."
Although Margaret knew that the probability of such a thing was extremely small.
"Where are the other people you were drinking with?"
"Oh, the couple went on a romantic getaway, and the other one went fishing."
Yun Shuchang tried to open her eyes wide, then gave up and softly collapsed into Margaret's broad embrace, muttering:
"That guy said he recently met a new group of fishing buddies, something like a senior citizens fishing group? There are some aristocratic-looking old men, some burly old men with red hair, and I heard there's also a taciturn old man with a youthful or even pale complexion..."
"Hehe, what a coincidence, just like that great mage, I heard they look alike too."
Margaret: "…………"
I don't think so, do I?
"Where's Chu Yu? Didn't she go out with you?"
"Little Fish? Her..."
Smacking her lips, Yun Shuchang, with her last bit of willpower before falling completely asleep, said:
"She abandoned him and ran off with a melancholy older woman..."
Margaret: ?
...
...
The City of Watchfulness.
Chu Yu put down his teacup and looked away from the letters that had been preserved by magic:
"Your Excellency the Stargazer, what do you mean by showing me these things..."
Completely unlike her previous melancholic demeanor, Alice smiled and ate the cake with a fork, savoring it with relish.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to find other people to take a look, at least these are some proof that they left behind in this world."
“I tell you, they came.”
"They tried to live."
After a moment of silence, Chu Yu exhaled, releasing the emotions pent up in his chest with each breath.
"I see... I understand."
Then, Chu Yu raised his eyes and asked softly:
"In the end, I didn't even have to use my abilities. Isn't that the reason you chose me?"
"Back then you said you would choose me as your judge and, when necessary, your sacrifice."
So, when will it be my time to sacrifice?
"You mean that...you're really bothered by it?"
With Alice's current attitude, Chu Yu found it difficult to be as fearful as he had been in the past, so he simply replied directly:
"Of course I care."
Chu Yu was very serious, but Alice remained relaxed and smiled:
"It's nothing, it's just that we don't need it anymore."
"Why?"
"Because someone volunteered to fill that vacancy, all our preparations were in vain!"
With a slight frown, Chu Yu thought of an answer and asked:
"It was him?"
Suddenly energized, Alice put down her teacup and eagerly moved closer to Chu Yu:
"Yes! Let me tell you, he used to be a completely different person..."
...
"I still prefer her the way she was before..."
In the empty palace, the Flame Demon Queen, the Abyss Princess, the Prophet's most beloved Scroll Master, and the Sage's Disciple—Kalan—sat listlessly on the throne.
"Before, at least I could treat her carefully... Now, it's a bit of a headache."
Although she remains powerful enough to make one's soul tremble, well...
Who would be afraid of a monarch who forces others to call her godfather?
Um?
The boy, who had been lost in thought in another corner of the hall, suddenly turned around and stared intently at her.
"Don't look at me like that. I haven't dared to have any thoughts for a long time."
Karan waved his hand dismissively, saying:
"Go play somewhere else, kid."
After listening, the Death Hunter tilted his head and suddenly spoke:
"————"
Karan: ? ? ?
"How old are you to want to be a big brother?!"
...
...
Is this some kind of twisted sense of humor of yours?
"Don't you find it interesting?"
While looking at the descriptions of different gods in the book, Ning Feng rocked his body back and forth in the rocking chair.
"The Demon Queen is actually the Abyss Princess, and the Death Hunter is the Abyss Child. They are the sons of the Demon King who brought twilight to the gods... Doesn't that sound exciting?"
You'll be hated by future historians.
Ning Feng smiled, then closed the book and leaned back in the recliner.
He sank into the soft cushion and said:
"Let it be passed down like this. I think it's quite interesting, and they're more likely to accept it."
"After all, no one would believe that the world has fallen to the point where a succubus has to save it."
That one is so pitiful.
