Daughter?
The child of Naoki and Arcueid?
Although many had already suspected it beforehand, they were still shocked when they heard Yue herself state that identity.
Meanwhile, Arcueid, as the person involved, showed a face that was truly flushed, something that rarely happened.
"Naoki and Arcueid's daughter, huh... It seems like many people already knew from the beginning?"
Merry glanced at the others.
Ciel nodded: "You could say we had our suspicions. After all, this is the only possibility. Only the two of them fulfill the conditions of vampire, Imaginary Manifestation, Magecraft Displacement, and so on all at once. Plus, the face is very similar..."
"But this is truly surprising." Aoko laughed, "Thirty years in the future... To come from that far in the future, is it Rayshift?"
"Yes, I came for a vacation." Yue said. "I deliberately troubled the Aunties to come here because Auntie Shiki wanted to know about our situation in the future. I felt it wouldn't be right to tell only Auntie Shiki, so I asked Auntie Shiki to help call everyone—I truly apologize if this caused trouble for the Aunties!"
Such a polite child.
Seeing Yue bow her head in apology, Touko couldn't help but say: "So polite... Is she really Naoki and Arcueid's daughter? Her personality is a bit different."
"Rude, Touko! If I'm serious, I still have the noble demeanor of a princess!" Arcueid immediately retorted.
Indeed, Arcueid was undoubtedly an extraordinary princess in the past. Anyone who met her for the first time would surely think she was an unapproachable Ice Queen.
However, after long interactions, everyone present already knew that she was just a foolish vampire.
"Mama in the future is very polite, you know."
Right at that moment, Yue suddenly said that.
"She seems to have changed a lot after I was born. She said she wanted to be a good example for her daughter."
"Hmph~~~~"
Hearing her daughter say that, Arcueid's expression immediately turned proud, making everyone sitting around her involuntarily look away.
Chuckling twice, Merry asked: "So, what are we really like in the future? And what is the world like in the future? Can you explain, Yue?"
"Just call me Yūe, Grandma Merry."
"Grandma—"
That unexpected address made Merry's eyebrows twitch several times: "That... Yūe... That address..."
"I'm just joking. Because I heard from Papa and Auntie Gray that you basically raised them when they were little. They said calling you Mama is also fine, so for me, calling you Grandma is okay too."
"Big sister!" Merry immediately moved in front of Yue, pressing her shoulders and smiling amiably, "Call~~~ me~~~ Big~~~ sister~~~!"
"Uh... I understand, Big Sis Merry."
"There, that's better."
Returning to her seat satisfied, Merry smiled and waved her hand, signaling Yue to start explaining.
"Ehem! Then, I'll start from the earliest situation."
Yue cleared her throat.
"First, the issue of the relationships between the Aunties and Papa that everyone is most curious about—all the Aunties present here marry Papa, you know!"
*Cough! Cough! Cough!*
*BAM!*
*CRACK!*
"Senpai?!"
That overly shocking statement caused several people present to immediately lose their composure.
Ritsuka pointed to herself and Mash: "Could it be that Mash and I too..."
"Yes, Auntie Ritsuka and Auntie Mash are the second marriage group."
"Second group?!"
Mordred immediately slammed the table: "There are first and third groups too?!"
Yue laughed: "Yes. Because there were too many people at the wedding, it was divided into several groups. The first group is the Aunties who have been waiting since 2004, and the second group is the Aunties who met in Chaldea and the Lostbelts."
The Aunties.
Meaning Artoria Caster and Baobhan Sith exchanged glances, then asked somewhat incredulously: "Could it be that we too..."
"Yes. It's just that, to marry the two of you, Papa was punished by Auntie Morgan to kneel for half a month on Mount Everest. And importantly, the two of you took the initiative. Papa was quite shocked at the time."
Took the initiative!?
(This... Although I do have the desire to be with Father forever, I didn't expect my future self to be so bold...)
(W-What have I done in the future! Marrying that foolish Father... Is this serious?!)
Seeing Artoria Caster and Baobhan Sith clearly in disarray and lost in thought, Morgan took a deep breath, then stared at the two of them with a cold gaze.
"Ugh!"
"We're done for."
Feeling their mother's gaze, their bodies immediately trembled.
"After this, I'll have a good talk with you two, Baobhan, Caster. Prepare your mental state."
"..."
"..."
This was tantamount to a death sentence.
The color in their bodies quickly faded to gray. They looked like they had lost their souls, and then Merry kindly dragged them to the corner of the wall.
"Just the second group is already like this... I don't even dare to imagine what the third group is like." Ayaka said with a bitter smile, "But, is it okay to marry so many people like that? The law won't allow it."
"This doesn't need to be worried about either, because Chaldea in the future has independent autonomy."
"Hah?"
Marie unconsciously exclaimed.
Yue continued her explanation: "In the future where I come from, Chaldea is no longer just a research institution. Although the headquarters in Antarctica is still operational, the operational focus has been moved to the Pacific Ocean. With the support of Papa and Mama's Imaginary Manifestation and the Machine God technology Papa brought from Greece, it has now developed into a maritime city-state on a scale equivalent to two-thirds of Japan."
Marie: "..."
"Additionally, because the initial city development was obstructed by the Mage's Association, Papa decided to demolish the old Clock Tower and destroy the old Mage's Association. In its place, he established a new magical society centered on Chaldea, with the three major associations as the main components. Starting from the Department of Modern Magecraft Theory, it develops and explores the path of combining magic and science. Recently, it seems they've started developing Machine Gods and preparing to go to outer space."
Marie: "..."
"Named Chaldea City, but essentially the Chaldea Empire—that is our future." Yue concluded her words with a smile.
After hearing it, Marie fainted on the spot.
