Milcar squints his eyes in annoyance before moving his tongue from side to side; a slight feeling of familiarity passes through his mouth as a sweet taste fills his taste buds.
"What does it mean?", Milcar can't remember; there seems to be something in the familiar taste in his mouth—a feeling, a taste, a lost experience.
Milcar sighs slightly before standing up; the sun is already announcing the arrival of night, and Milcar observes the courtyard of his castle.
In the courtyard, Megumin and Yunyun seem to be playing. Yunyun shouts passionately while Megumin appears to be on the verge of tears, and a moment later, their roles are reversed.
The expressions on Megumin and Yunyun's faces are completely genuine—their smiles, their cries, their expressions, and movements; none of it seems to be a lie.
Milcar squints his eyes before smiling slightly.
"Maybe...", Milcar sighs with some resignation before disappearing. A moment later, his body appears in a kitchen; this is the kitchen of the governor's castle in the city of Axel.
Although there are many maids, Yuiyui has always insisted on cooking. At this moment, Yuiyui is chopping several vegetables on a cutting board; the kitchen is large, and only Yuiyui is present.
In just an instant, Milcar appears behind Yuiyui and embraces her from behind.
"Kyah!!", Yuiyui lets out a gasp of surprise upon feeling someone hug her; her heart skips a beat, and she is about to use her magic. However, the familiar scent of Milcar reaching her nostrils calms her mind.
A smile appears on Yuiyui's face; her heart warms as her body begins to react to Milcar's presence.
"Hmph... Husband... husband. Why don't you wait for me a moment?", Yuiyui blushes before putting the knife aside; her hands were about to touch Milcar's important parts flirtatiously until she feels a slight warmth reaching her neck.
"This...", Yuiyui swallows hard; she quickly seems to understand something and can't help but soften her heart.
"Is something wrong?", Yuiyui asks. There is a moment of silence; Milcar simply embraces Yuiyui, and this woman smiles slightly like a mother waiting for her child to tell her about their mischief.
...
After a moment, Milcar finishes telling Yuiyui everything he knows—from his appearance in this world to his encounter with Aqua and how the whole world changed. During the process, Yuiyui listens almost without changing her expression.
There is a moment of silence in which Yuiyui processes all the information she has received while humming a song and begins chopping the vegetables on the cutting board.
There seems to be something else in Yuiyui's humming, something strange. However, Milcar simply continues hugging Yuiyui.
"So... Do you hate me?", Yuiyui asks with a slight smile; the sound of the knife hitting the cutting board stops for a moment.
"Well... who knows...", Milcar smiles ironically; his blurry eyes can't catch Yuiyui's hand movements.
"Hehehe, then, would you like the whole world to go back to how it was before?", There is no trace of mockery or pity in Yuiyui's voice; she simply smiles and continues chopping the vegetables while Milcar seems to hesitate.
"Well... you probably don't remember, but you promised me a happy life when we got married. My father really had a good impression of you, and my mother said you were the best man I could have ever gotten... I don't think that's correct...", Yuiyui stops chopping the vegetables as she lets out a slight sigh.
"Probably for you, this world is a torment, but for me, this world is my paradise. I have two beautiful daughters and a loving husband... I love you despite everything, Do you understand?", Yuiyui says with a slight smile; her face changes to one of seriousness as she seems to be thinking about something.
"Would you like to go back to the previous world?", Yuiyui asks.
Milcar's eyes are blurry; there is a slight drizzle over Yuiyui's shoulder, and Milcar can barely process Yuiyui's words.
The feeling of existential emptiness inside Milcar has worsened. In front of him, there are two universes; his sight can only capture the color black, the stars shining millions of millions of miles away, only showing their fleeting and ancient light. The two universes in front of him are like galaxies with an infinite number of possibilities, an infinite number of worlds, and an infinite amount of power.
If he could just touch one of those universes, Milcar is sure his Qi would reach infinity, the true essence of life and death would be something written in his mind, and the essence of the universe would be captured by his soul.
Faced with this decision, Milcar doesn't know which path to choose.
Before and after, mixed feelings like a poisoned cocktail slowly going down his dry throat, senseless thoughts fill his mind, and his morale has fallen to absolute zero. Before or after, What to choose?, What to do?
For an instant, Milcar lowers his head; his mind becomes an amalgam of empty and senseless thoughts, his heart despairs, the feeling of existential emptiness within his heart slowly gnaws at his cells while his eyes cry blood.
Milcar's dry lips open slightly, and he is pulled out of his thoughts.
Hugging a woman who has revealed her deep feelings for him, a woman who loves him, a woman who appeared out of nowhere and with whom Milcar is not familiar.
Milcar licks his lips before staying silent.
Time passes minute by minute, and Milcar doesn't know what to do.
"Well, dinner will be ready soon. Why don't you sit down to eat?, Today I made the dish you like so much...", Yuiyui hums, and Milcar nods before sitting in a chair in front of a large table.
Megumin and Komekko don't take long to arrive. As always, the two lively girls hug Milcar while animatedly recounting their adventures of the day.
Milcar can't help but sigh and observe his family—a beautiful woman, two wonderful daughters, he is the most powerful existence in this world, the demon king defeated. Looking ahead, only a happy life exists. Is this the end?
Milcar squints his eyes with some nostalgia before sighing with some resignation.
Milcar licks his lips before eating the delicious food in front of him.
Days go by normally, weeks, months pass, the Belzerg kingdom received the news that the demon king was defeated and that Wiz would take over the kingdom. Naturally, there was opposition that was easily defeated by Wiz.
In just days, the Belzerg kingdom ended up under Wiz's control, crowning herself as the new queen.
Although Milcar has been spending these days with a slight smile, still a slight trace of hope filled his heart, and the reason is Hideki Tojo.
Every year, the Crimson Magic Clan makes a sacrifice to the god Hideki Tojo.
Previously, Milcar thought Hideki Tojo would be alongside Hirohito; however, that didn't happen that way. Hideki simply didn't appear. So, What does this mean?
Milcar licks his lips, his eyes watching the village leader on this day.
