"My journey ends here! I've decided to inherit the inn!"

"I see... You'll definitely be able to run this place into a great hotel."

Aisha smiled at him happily, then turned around, bowed to Meredith and the others, and left... Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she turned back.

"By the way, Meredith! Actually, there's something I've been wanting to tell you!"

"Eh!? Me, me?"

"I was traveling with a pirate named Katie and heard someone named Chiara tell me about you!"

The two names gave Mei'er and Lutilis a shock. They had never expected that Aisha had actually met those two people.

For Lutilis, Chiara is the only person from the outside world she can contact from now on.

To Mel, Katie was a dear friend who had passed away. What had they said to Aisha? Both of them were eager to know, and they even leaned closer unconsciously...

"I heard that you bring Oscar, a guy named Natsu, and that lady over there to your bed every night and do some... uh, Queen of the Night type of things. I think lewd things are bad!"

Aisha yelled shyly, then sprinted away at superhuman speed. After a while,

“This, this is a misunderstanding!”

Meredy's cries echoed through the woods by the lake.

Later, I heard that Aisha ran the hotel very successfully and the business was booming.

The name of the hotel is "Water Fairy Hotel".

It is said that no matter how many times this hotel and restaurant has changed owners, or even if it has closed down due to the trends of the times, it will miraculously reopen in the end. There will always be "people who believe in what they want to believe" to inherit this store.

At the same time, this hotel also quietly passed on the legend of the elves to future generations.

The world was dyed black and red, the sky cracked, forming an abyss, spewing out terrifying miasma.

A large number of monsters continued to emerge like a flood of landslides, and a large group of "Apostles of God" covered the sky like a sky full of stars.

Such a scene is undoubtedly the beginning of the end of the world.

However, facing such a situation, the humans standing on the front lines are—

— Uooooohhhhhhhhh!!

—Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

They were roaring, full of vigor, high spirits, and unparalleled courage.

There is no despair in people's hearts, nor any thoughts of giving up or lamenting.

Firmly believe that tomorrow will come and fight to the end.

The fighting spirit is like a blazing flame, and we are united.

"No wonder. Seeing that kind of scene, of course, it's inspiring."

Kaori muttered to herself in the air.

Although her current body was that of an "Apostle of God," through transformation magic, her hair had turned black, and she wore a primarily black battle uniform. Her wings and magic were also black and silver. This appearance truly made her the "Apostle of the Demon King." She surveyed the battlefield from the air.

Immediately after the war broke out, a large number of meteorites were used to bombard and flatten the sacred mountain.

Simultaneously, seven "Solar Beam Lasers" and "Solar Bombs" were used to wreak massive destruction.

At first, he used these two moves to take the initiative and wiped out a large number of monsters and apostles as soon as the battle started.

Recalling this incredible technique, Kaori couldn't help but smile. Then, she looked up.

Her eyes were sharp as she stared at the abyssal "Divine Gate" in the sky, her heart pounding with worry for Hajime and the others. To save Yue, whose body had been stolen, Hajime and the others had bravely plunged into the abyss, regardless of the danger.

With Shia and Tio following him, they would definitely succeed—Kaori was convinced of this.

"Yue. I have so much to tell you. If you don't come back soon, I won't forgive you. I haven't won an argument with you yet, but you can't just run away after winning."

Kaori thought this half-jokingly, but she sincerely hoped that her rival could hear her encouragement.

"Shizuku, Ryutaro, Suzu..."

Then, she remembered her childhood friend, Amano River Kouki, a brave man who, unable to accept the gap between ideals and reality, accepted brainwashing and betrayed humanity.

And Suzu's former best friend, Nakamura Eri, a girl who betrayed and sacrificed everything for her own selfish reasons.

Even so, they were childhood playmates and good friends who were as close as brothers. I couldn't just stand by and watch them die, and I didn't want to do that.

At least I want to meet them again and have a good talk with them.

Even if it is too late, even if the result is not what I want, at least I have to put an end to them with my own hands.

Kaori could personally experience the determination and awareness of Shizuku and the others. Therefore—

"I will protect everyone's home."

The gods' plans must be completely crushed. Besides attacking the divine realm, they must also defend the earth, never allowing the gods any chance to mock them before their death.

But, more importantly, we must protect everyone’s home.

This is the important responsibility that Kaori, who remains on the ground, is entrusted with.

The "Apostles of God" in the sky looked down at the earth, transformed into a stream of silver meteors, and descended one after another.

Faced with such a terrifying sight, Kaori bravely swung out a pair of new greatswords in her hands.

"You want to annihilate humanity, huh? Humph! If you can, then give it a try!"

A rebellious smile appeared on Kaori's face, exactly the same as the one on her lover.

Volume 12, Chapter 1: The World in the Divine Realm

What is the most vivid and unforgettable memory in life? If asked this question, Eri Nakamura would definitely answer it this way.

──The scene when my father died.

That happened when Huili was six years old. Huili ran onto the main road and was about to be hit by a car. Her father rushed over to save her, but at the cost of his own life. It was the result of an ordinary car accident.

However, for Huili, this incident had an unusual outcome.

That's the mother's attitude.

Huili's mother came from a wealthy family, a true daughter. Yet, despite her family's objections, she chose her own marriage partner. She loved her husband deeply and was inseparable from him. Some even considered her love a form of dependency.

Her husband was her beloved and her spiritual support, so she could not bear the fact that he died.

Unable to bear it, she points the finger at the cause of her husband's death, that is, her young daughter Huili.

Every day, she turned the grief and hatred that overflowed in her heart into violence and insults, and ruthlessly inflicted them on her daughter.

Despite this pain, Huili chose to endure. Though only six years old, she was often praised for her intelligence by those around her. She also agreed with her mother's words: "It's all your fault."

My negligence caused my father's death, so my mother's anger was justified. I deserved the pain and suffering I endured.

At the same time, Huili also believed that as long as she could endure all the punishments, her mother, who was as vicious as a demon, would turn back into the kind mother she used to be and smile gently at Huili as before.

Because her mother's abuse methods were very subtle and Huili never mentioned it to anyone else, no one noticed the distortion in the relationship between mother and daughter, and it lasted for several years.

Naturally, the smile disappeared from Huili's face.

She became negative and gloomy, no longer laughing, like a child who was crouching down and waiting for the storm to pass.

To the children of the same age around her, she must have been a gloomy and weird existence.

Naturally, she couldn't make any friends. Loneliness, self-blame, physical and mental pain, longing for her mother, and loneliness wore away Huili's young heart for years.

The depression every day finally made Huili's heart unable to bear it...

At this moment, something even more painful happened, as if it was a ruthless act of adding insult to injury, intended to deal her a fatal blow.

When Huili was eleven years old, she was in the fifth grade of elementary school.

My mother brought a strange man home. He was a ferocious-looking, overbearing man. But my mother kept clinging to him and acting like a spoiled child.

Huili couldn't believe it. She had always thought her mother vented her hatred and anger at her because she loved her father from the bottom of her heart.

Huili's thoughts were not wrong. However, her mother's heart was far more fragile than Huili imagined. Without someone to rely on, she couldn't live a normal life.

From that day on, the strange man lived in Huili's house.

The way that man behaved at home was undoubtedly a typical scumbag. What was worse was that the way she looked at Huili was clearly with ulterior motives.

Huili had to live her life with even greater caution and fear than before. The increasingly inappropriate behavior of men towards her made her feel threatened. So, she cut her hair, which she had grown long in emulation of her mother's style. She also tried to imitate boys' speech and behavior as much as possible to protect herself. But...

Huili's transformation created a vicious cycle, as her peers could not accept her changes.

Although Huili had no friends, the other children were still willing to talk to her as if she were a normal classmate. However, after Huili changed herself, the classmates no longer dared to approach her. Due to loneliness and fear of men, Huili's heart was already broken and on the verge of collapse at any time. Even so—

──One day, mother will return to the gentle mother she used to be.

Huili still believed this, relying on this idea to persevere. Although it was just an escape from reality, Huili herself had some self-awareness, but she had no other hope besides this, like the only straw she could grasp when drowning.

However, reality was cruel. Her hope was ultimately just a weak straw that broke easily.

About three months later, one night when the mother was away at work, the man finally lost his temper and assaulted her.

Rather than being discouraged, Huili saw it as an opportunity.

She had anticipated this day, and when it happened, she screamed for help, urging her neighbors to come and rescue her. The police quickly arrived and arrested the man. Her nightmare-like life had finally come to an end.

In this way, the mother will surely wake up and remember her love for the father again.

Huili believed it so firmly.

However, after the mother finished her statement at the police station and returned home, the first words she said were not words of concern for her daughter, nor did she apologize for bringing a bad man home. Instead, she showed even more hatred than before and slapped her daughter hard.

"You actually seduced him!" the mother yelled at Huili.

For the mother, this incident did not make her understand how bad the man was. She only knew that she had lost her man again because of her daughter, and she could not forgive her daughter.

My mother betrayed my father.

Mother always tortures herself.

Rather than her daughter being molested by a man, the mother is more concerned about not being able to be with the man.

It was then that Huili finally saw the reality. No, it should be said that it was now that she was finally able to face the reality that she had been deliberately ignoring.

In other words, her mother didn't love her. Her mother wouldn't go back to her old self. Her gentle and kind appearance wasn't her true self; her current, ugly face was her true nature.

Everything Huili believed in was just an illusion.

All the patience in the past was meaningless.

There is no hope for the future.

The reality she discovered was enough to completely destroy her soul. That day, Huili seemed to have passed out without realizing it. When she woke up the next morning, she left the house without saying a word.

She planned to end her life, but she didn't want to stay with her mother.

She wandered aimlessly and accidentally came to a bridge over the river near her home.

Huili leaned on the railing, staring blankly at the river flowing below, and decided to choose this place.

She thought indifferently that if she could die here, the river might carry her to a place where there was no one.

As if drawn to it, she leaned over the railing and was about to fall into the clear river far below when suddenly a voice called her.

──What are you doing?

Eri turned around bewilderedly, only to see a young man in a sports jacket. He was about her age, and he seemed to be jogging. Eri recognized him; he was the dazzling, popular boy at school—Amanokawa Kouki.

Seeing Huili's emotionless face and dark, cloudy eyes, Guanghui realized that something was wrong. He acted decisively, forcibly pulling Huili away from the railing and patiently asking her what had happened.

Huili initially refused to respond, but Guanghui refused to give up and let her go, so she had to explain the situation very briefly. After listening to Huili's explanation, Guanghui finally misunderstood the situation.
