Chapter 358: Serafall Witnesses Him with Her Sister Sona...
Meanwhile, in the Underworld...
"Aaaah, why is there still so much?"
A twin-tailed girl dressed as a magical girl lamented as she stared at the towering stack of documents.
Then, she spotted a woman who bore a seventy to eighty percent resemblance to her entering with another pile of files, causing her to twitch at the corners of her mouth and eyes.
"U-um, Sona-chan, if this goes on, your big sister will die from overwork!"
She gazed pitifully at her younger sister.
"Get back to work," Sona replied coldly, her words striking a blow that made her sister appear on the verge of tears.
"Honestly, if I'd known this would happen, I wouldn't have come back. I should've stayed over there with Rossweisse," Serafall grumbled regretfully.
Speaking of which, the otherworld inhabited by mechanical lifeforms was nearly fully processed. Once completed, that world would serve as a transit point between two parallel dimensions, enabling travel between them.
Of course, direct passage between the two worlds was also under construction, a collaborative effort between Rossweisse, skilled in Magic, and Seekvaira, an expert in mechanical technology.
"Hurry up and finish. What you've completed so far isn't even half of what Grayfia has done."
"Grayfia... is she still like that?" Serafall sighed deeply.
Currently, Grayfia was the most driven among them, pushing herself to the point of sacrificing sleep for work. Her relentless day-and-night efforts worried Serafall greatly.
If not for the task Sirzechs had left behind—entrusting Grayfia with the responsibility of rebuilding the world—she would have followed him into departure.
"Yes," Sona nodded, sighing in agreement.
So, why hadn't the burning of mythological history that day consumed these individuals as well?
It hadn't.
Moreover, not everyone had forgotten the myths. It was possible to recall them by learning from the memories of returnees like Serafall, who knew which figures existed in the original myths.
Of course, Serafall couldn't possibly remember every detail, so he had provided comprehensive information. After all, he was the one who had incinerated history, yet he retained all memories. He compiled these historical recollections into a device and entrusted it to Serafall to bring back.
Suddenly, a communication came through.
"What? Really? Yay~"
"What's wrong, sis?"
So happy?
"That guy is back, he's in Heaven now."
Sister said this excitedly.
That guy?
After a brief moment of confusion, Sona also became excited. He's back?
But why is sister so excited? Could it be that sister also has feelings for him?
It seemed possible, but Sona, who knew her sister well, quickly realized the true reason for her excitement.
"Hurry, Sona, go bring him back to inherit the position of Satan"
Because the original Three Great Satans had disappeared, leaving only one Satan, some devils were becoming restless and trying to compete for these three positions. The constant noise and commotion had been irritating Serafall greatly.
Therefore, under the push from Serafall and others, it was decided that there would only be one Satan from now on, and this Satan would be that King Solomon—they made this decision for him without consulting him.
Surprisingly, many devils had no objections to this arrangement, though they were probably scheming something.
As for what they were scheming, it was the same as Sona and others—to have someone from their family become a Demon God and build closer relationships.
Serafall was currently acting as the proxy Satan, handling the work, and no one had any complaints about this.
In fact, no one wanted to be this proxy Satan because at this point in time, being the proxy Satan was a trap—it would exhaust you to death.
So, since he had returned, Serafall wanted to push all the work onto him.
"Sister, finish handling these first before talking about that!"
"Eh? Why? He's back, isn't he? Then this should be his work"
"He never agreed to become Satan—you all decided that without his consent"
"Sona-chan is biased! Now that you have a man, you don't love your sister anymore"
"Stop changing the subject and get back to work!!!"
"So mean~"
And so, who knows how much time passed—
"Fi-finally finished~"
Serafall collapsed face down as if completely drained.
So, she went to find her little sister. Being a siscon, she needed to snuggle with her sister to recover her spirits.
After all, she had been working continuously for seven days and nights without rest.
Looking in the mirror, ugh~, she seemed to have developed some dark circles, and her smooth, delicate skin had become slightly dry.
With a magic transfer, she headed to her sister's student council room.
Although her sister had been helping handle some affairs after the great war, she was still attending school.
Before Serafall returned, she had been on a study break. Now that Serafall was back, of course she wanted her sister to properly enjoy a normal youthful school life, though her sister always found time to come supervise and assist with her work.
"Eh?"
Serafall was stunned, staring blankly at the student council room door before her.
She should have transferred directly inside—why did she end up outside the door?
It seemed there was a barrier isolating the room, pushing her outside.
Really now~
Hmm? She seemed to hear Sona making some very cute sounds—she had never heard her make such adorable noises before.
So, Serafall went to push the door open, but was there magic on the door too?
Hmph, this couldn't stop her. She would dispel it.
However—
Uh, what's going on? Why is this magic so complicated? Is Sona this powerful?
Well then, she would just force her way through violently.
Just as Serafall was preparing to use brute force, the magic suddenly dissipated.
After a moment of surprise, she pushed the door open angrily—
"Sona-chan, your big sister I..."
The voice abruptly ceased as Serafall noticed that the student council room wasn't only occupied by Sona, but also by Tsubaki and that person.
Should she address him as King Solomon? Or Qin Shi Huang?
Well, she might as well just call him Mr. Renji.
And this Mr. Renji was currently carrying Sona in a princess hold, gently placing her on the nearby sofa to let her rest properly, as she seemed to have worked herself to exhaustion and fallen asleep.
On another sofa nearby, Tsubaki was also lying down, similarly appearing to have fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Both of their sleeping faces looked particularly blissful, especially Sona, whose cheeks were unbelievably rosy.
Huh? Serafall noticed something unusual—something abnormal about both Sona and Tsubaki.
Their bellies looked somewhat rounder. Could it be that they were already pregnant?
