Chapter 376.1. Saying Farewell
The world shook, dyed white by flashes and explosions. After the brilliance subsided, I quietly descended to the ground and sighed.
“Creating a world of plants was a lie, wasn’t it?”
“...Ah, of course. But, it seed fitting, right? He looked like a boss.”
Before , the fading Shin floated. His physical form had disappeared, and his soul was transford into golden particles.
“Why did this happen?”
“Hehe. I had to defeat you. That’s what my instinct as Yggdrasil told . But more than that...”
lting away, Shin answered with a voice mixed with loneliness and sadness.
“I really wanted to fight seriously. Not with a predetermined outco, not with a clumsy actor in a play. I wanted to throw everything I had. I thought the joy and satisfaction of defeating the Demon God were lies.”
“Were you satisfied?”
“Who knows... I wanted to say I was satisfied if I could, but I lost. But...”
Almost entirely turned into particles and disappearing, Shin spoke one last word. With a gentle voice, he thanked .
“Thank you.”
Muttering softly, those were his final words before completely vanishing.
“You were like a protagonist, Shin.”
Supporting the platinum hair fluttering in the wind with my hand, I smiled.
All the power is within . This world is now mine.
“Yggdrasil-san, I won. So sorry, but I’ll take everything!”
[World Transfer]
Pressing my hands onto the ground, I put in effort with a determined spirit. As I channeled my magic power, the ground shook, covered by a platinum light.
Not just a huge tree towering in front of ; the world itself, supporting it, was also turning platinum.
There was no resistance. Shin, who had beco the core capable of moving Yggdrasil, had perished.
And that power, I devoured it all.
As the World Tree was dyed, the tips of its branches disappeared as if lting, turning into golden particles and scattering into the sky.
Then, a light sphere containing the universe floated gently from Yggdrasil to my Great Tree. The golden light sphere held the universe within it, with multiple galaxies visible, and stars scattered like jewels.
It’s a world. It’s the world where Takano Miu lives. From the outside, it looks like a tiny light sphere.
But now, it’s the most important world for .
It’s the world where my family lives, where my friends live.
It’s a warm world. It’s a world sweeter than parfait. It’s a world that warms my heart.
The golden color changed to platinum and quietly got absorbed into the Great Tree. Now the world is safe. Takano Miu’s world is protected.
“Well then, let’s dig in!”
Once the world shifts, nothing can stop . I open my small mouth wide.
“Ah~”
The golden particles spreading to fill the world get sucked into my mouth. They flow in forcefully.
It’s so delicious, sweet, and lting!
The world tree, the size to support the world, turns entirely into golden particles, and I eat it all.
“I have a separate stomach for sweets, so I can eat as much as I want!”
There are clearly more golden particles than . But as a maiden, I have a separate stomach for sweets, so it’s okay.
I’ll eat everything. ...Originally, I planned to eat everything, even the world. After finishing, I intended to move to other worlds to search for a new parfait.
When I told the old man about it, he said there are even more delicious things, so I should stop. Curious and skeptical, I created Mii-chan to try it out.
It was true. There was sothing sweeter than parfait. Family is the best. I never thought sothing like this could exist.
After this, I’ll ask mama to make homade hamburgers. Oh, I must also prepare a helt as a souvenir!
And so, all the golden particles entered my mouth. Every last fragnt, every single particle, I ate them all.
The only things left were light spheres like fireflies.
“So beautiful~. These are all souls, huh?”
Souls that haven’t reincarnated into the world yet floated in the sky, twinkling like a full sky of stars. These were the souls that Yggdrasil had encompassed.
For a temporary rest, the souls entered the branches of my Great Tree. In the spaces between the semi-transparent, crystal-like branches, they stopped like fruits and quietly blinked.
The deceased would take a peaceful rest until they gained a new life.
Relieved that everything was over, I smiled. My parfait journey had co to an end. It was a journey that had lasted a very, very long ti.
[You’re not really on a parfait journey, are you? Also, that’s overlapping with the concept of a journey.]
[Using the term ‘journey’ makes it sound cool! I thought it was important, so I used it!]
[There’s sothing more important than that. Sothing really important! It’s important!]
As Miu added an unnecessary retort, I proudly responded. But more importantly, what could be so important, Mii-chan?
[After working hard to eat, I got hungry again!]
[True! I’m really starving!]
Rubbing my flat and dejected stomach, I felt a bit sad. My stomach growled, and I realized I was quite hungry.
I need to eat hamburgers soon! And I’ll have 2 fried eggs on top.
Before that, though, there’s sothing I need to do. If I forget this, it won’t make any sense.
