Thank you for the invitation. He's in heaven now, he's become God.

only……

Seeing the two holding hands tightly, exuding a warm atmosphere, the gap witch couldn't help but reveal a strange gleam in her eyes.

That’s great…

They really do look like a family!

However, it has nothing to do with her...

A close father and daughter, a solitary witch—they walk side by side, yet appear to be from two different worlds.

Wait, why is she thinking about all this nonsense?

Nangong Nayue shook her head violently. What she needed to do now was to serve this capricious and unique god well.

Once he finishes collecting the remains of the Fourth Progenitor and leaves, her life will be able to return to normal.

Neither Yahweh nor Aurora has anything to do with her!

However, Nangong Nayue had only just thought that...

"Huh? What are you doing?"

She suddenly felt her hand being held by the man beside her.

"After all, we can't keep Natsuki-chan out, can we?"

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that there was a hint of gentleness in Yawei's smile.

"Only when we hold hands like this do we feel like a family of three."

"Who said we're a family of three!"

Despite saying that, Nangong Nayue did not shake off Yawei.

"But... if you want it this way, then so be it!"

"Anyway... I have no way to resist you..."

She said these words as if she were somewhat unwilling, but she took his hand in her own initiative.

Since there was no way to resist Yahweh, this was the only option.

Besides, it's actually quite nice to feel like this sometimes... right?

"........."

Seeing the witch's insincere words, Yawei suppressed his smile and turned his head away.

So, why did he create heaven and angels in the first place?

Is it merely to conform to the so-called "plot"?

...Forget it, why think about these things?

He's still young; it's not time for him to reminisce about the past! (Seriously)

P.S.: I've briefly described the daily interactions between the main character and Natsuki. Hopefully, that's okay?

Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Prayer That Transcends Isolation

Itogami Island, or rather Itogami City, is a city built with resin, metal, and organic materials and constructed through magic, floating on the Pacific Ocean where humans and monsters coexist.

This artificial island, which floats about 330 kilometers south of Tokyo, is made up of a super-large floating structure called GigaFloat.

The total population is approximately 560,000.

Although it is administratively referred to as Itogami City, Tokyo, it is actually a special administrative district with an independent political system.

It was used to protect the endangered demon race and to study their physical structure and special abilities.

This is the so-called "Demon Special Zone".

Itogami Island does not usually accept visits from people other than those related to businesses and research institutions and their families. If outsiders want to enter Itogami City, they must first submit an application and wait until it is confirmed that there are no problems before they can enter. Otherwise, they are all referred to as illegal immigrants.

Strictly speaking, Yahweh could also be considered an illegal immigrant.

And just today, another so-called "smuggler" entered the island in his own way as the morning sun was just beginning to shine down from the sky.

"Is this Itogami Island?"

Strolling along the edge of the street, the blonde girl in her nun's habit looked on with bewilderment.

"The place where the Lord descended..."

Why did the "Lord" descend upon this place?

Even the so-called "Demon Special Zone" should be insignificant to the "Master," right?

Could it be because of that rumor...?

The blonde nun suddenly shook her head.

How could she possibly understand the thoughts of the "Lord"?

The key issue now is that the oracle the Pope received only told him that "the Lord" was on Itogami Island, but the exact location... remains unclear.

So… looking at the huge artificial island in front of her, the nun fell silent.

She...

How can she find her "master"?

........................

"Natsuki-chan, I'll go out with Aurora first. You can prepare your own breakfast."

Just as the sun was rising, Yahweh was woken up by a cute little creature clinging to him.

The lively little guy pestered him, wanting to go "inspect" the island with him.

Yahweh, of course, could not refuse such a small request. After telling Nangong Nayue, he directly led the impatient Aurora away.

"........."

Watching the two figures leave, Nangong Nayue, who had been preparing to cook for the first time in a long time, silently put down the frying pan in her hand.

Was the warm feeling she experienced from Yawei yesterday just her imagination?

I ran out very early in the morning...

Is this guy a god or some street urchin who just wandered off from somewhere?

Nangong Nayue couldn't help but complain like this, and sighed softly in her heart.

Oh well, it's great to have some peace and quiet now that those two aren't around.

As for breakfast, I won't eat it.

After all, she is now an embodiment of magic and doesn't actually need to eat.

Occasionally having three meals a day, like Yahweh, is just a matter of habit!

However, with Yahweh and Aurora gone, Nangong Nayue really didn't know what she should do.

It's still a holiday, so she doesn't need to go to class.

She also finished organizing some of the school's documents yesterday.

Hmm... then go patrol and see if there are any troublesome demons.

After all, besides being a teacher, she is also an attack magic master!

........................

"Yawei, hurry up!"

On the streets of Itogami Island, Yahweh strolled leisurely, his expression calm, like an old man taking a walk in a park.

Aurora walked ahead of him with light steps.

She looked around restlessly, admiring the towering buildings and neat green lawns, and exclaimed in amazement, "Oh, oh, oh!"

Although I accompanied Aurora out yesterday, we had a specific destination in mind, unlike now, where Aurora can experience the scenery of Itogami Island without any worries.

In fact, Itogami Island doesn't look particularly special; it's just like any other ordinary big city.

But considering that this girl had been sealed in an ice coffin since birth and had never truly known this world, such a reaction was understandable.

This time, Aurora ran to the railing by the sea. She looked in amazement at the sea reflecting the morning light and the seagulls flying all over the sky, just like a curious child, which made people smile at her.

"It's just ordinary scenery..."

Yahweh stood beside Aurora and said this.

"There's no need to get so worked up. You can enjoy this kind of scenery whenever you want in the future."

"Well……"

Aurora blushed slightly upon hearing Yahweh's words.

"I...I wasn't excited at all, I was just assessing my future territory..."

"How was the review?"

"The scenery and terrain are both excellent,"

Upon hearing Yahweh's question, Aurora actually began to analyze it with great seriousness.

"I have made up my mind. I will establish my Night Empire here!"

As she said this, she suddenly turned to look at Yahweh, her cheeks flushing slightly.

"Of course, as my contractor, you will enjoy the same power as me and govern the Night Empire together with me."

"Well, I'm looking forward to it."

Yahweh gave a smile, like a father comforting his daughter, and answered.

However, Aurora took Yahweh's words seriously and happily took his hand.

"Then you shall come with me and inspect this place!"

"Let's see if this place is worthy of being the core of my Night Empire..."

Yahweh grasped Aurora's hand, about to reply, when suddenly, as if sensing something, his expression shifted slightly.
