Seeing the slight confusion in Lin Yi's eyes, Kiana said helplessly.

"A few years ago, before Senior went to the Cocoon of Finality to find out everything, everyone was smart enough to see what kind of feelings Yuno had for him."

"Moreover, in their daily lives, they get along so well that they're like an old married couple—they have feelings for each other and are compatible. In my opinion, they should have been like this a long time ago."

Ah, that's what they say, but it still feels a little strange.

"That..."

After seeing Lin Yi's eyes begin to focus on her, Bianca asked, slightly puzzled.

"Should I have any opinions?"

"He rushed into the Imaginary Space for everyone and resolved the disaster brought by the Cocoon of Finality. After this was over, all he wanted to do after saving the world was to hug a woman."

"And that woman is still a lover worthy of his embrace, at a time like this... even if the relationship between him and me is the same, I don't think I should be angry at a time like this."

"Besides, compared to these trivial matters..."

At this point, a look of relief appeared on Bianca's face.

"It's enough that he came back safely."

"As for other matters..."

"--It's really not that important anymore."

Part Six of the Postscript: I will step down as Archbishop of Schicksal

Honestly, after hearing what Bianca said, Lin Yi finally understood a subtle truth.

To understand a person's true thoughts, one should look at what they actually do, not what they say.

According to what others said afterward, her aunt Bianca, who was in front of her, had clearly broken down on the night of her father's birthday, yelling things like "You idiot!"

In Lin Yi's opinion, her aunt was definitely angry at the time.

Lin Yi, who was already fantasizing about what would happen when her father came back, thought that he would probably suffer because her aunt was very angry.

But now she realizes she was overthinking things.

There are far too many hypocrites these days, and in her twisted family, her father's spouses are all too gentle.

The jealousy and rivalry that appear in various entertainment works... Ah, what kind of plot is this? I've never seen anything like it before.

Lin Yi, who understands people's hearts, could sense that in her strange family with one male head of the household and countless female heads of household, and possibly more female heads of household in the future, everyone was genuinely thinking about her father, and almost no one had any jealous thoughts.

It's good that nothing serious happened at home, but now this place is acting so strangely...

Lin Yi wasn't without other older relatives who had formed families, and she only needed to make a few calculations based on their personalities to discover...

Putting everything else aside, if Grandpa Welt dared to do that, his wife would definitely cause a huge uproar.

That stinky dad really found a group of understanding and loving partners.

Although I know he has a lot of personal charm, but...

Lin Yi glanced at her mother and aunt, sighed subtly, and finally chose to remain silent.

As a child who was not quite normal from birth, Lin Yi felt that her abnormality should make her more receptive to change.

She's making a big fuss about these little things every day now; her future persona will inevitably continue to develop in the direction of a sarcastic or witty character.

Although she imagined that everyone should gather together to celebrate her father's return, things were different now...

Well, ever since Dad solved the Cocoon of Finality, he has not only comforted Yuno's Mom, but has even gone to work in other places.

Surprisingly, everyone within the Schicksal immediately accepted his actions.

This feeling gave Lin Yi the impression that 'her dad wasn't really going to work hard, he was just going on a business trip for a few years and then coming back to work at the company.'

On the bright side, this is proof that almost everyone believes 'Lin Yu will definitely return,' and only in this way can everyone be so calm after his return.

On the worst, this is terrible proof that everyone has become like a dog.

They readily accepted Lin Yu's decision to begin work immediately upon his return, which...

Have we all gotten used to Dad's usual ways of doing things?

Of course, the worst-case scenario is even worse than the above guess.

The Cocoon of Finality is the greatest calamity for the people of their planet.

And after this ordeal was forcibly erased by her stinky father, this great yet abstractly eccentric father of hers seems to still be working hard...

Ah, Dad's nerves are still on edge. Are we going to have to keep facing those troublesome enemies?

What a hassle! I'm just a four-year-old child, and the thought of spending some happy days with my parents has become a luxury.

I really don't know if the world is too twisted, or if there's something wrong with my parents.

About an hour later, in Yuno's room

Inside the room, Yuno looked at her lover beside her and could only feel...

The information she heard from her friends before was mostly embellished.

Lin Yu is a good person in every way, but in this aspect...

It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's a bit too wild when it comes to doing it.

Of course, for Yuno, whose self-destructive tendencies haven't completely disappeared, such a violent act might just be the perfect way for her to vent her pent-up emotions...

Hmm, wait a minute, so it turns out that what the senior said before about his roughness being to help everyone suppress the Herrscher Persona was actually true?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Even without using his abilities, Lin Yu could easily guess Yuno's thoughts just by looking at her slightly tired Yuno.

After all, Yuno had completely turned into a vengeful ghost after being led astray by Lin Yu. Recalling Yuno's actions after her 'awakening' in the coffee shop, Lin Yu really felt that Yuno understood what Lin Yu wanted too well because of the commonalities between them.

Because his loved ones died before his eyes, Lin Yu yearned for revenge.

Because a close relative died suddenly in an accident, Lin Yu craves 'love' even more than ordinary people.

Lin Yu, who has always yearned for love between relatives, love between lovers, and friendship, is actually more twisted inside than anyone imagines.

After Yuno realized this, she took the initiative to help the others get closer to Lin Yu.

Judging from the fact that Lin Yu had not yet regained his memories at that time, at a certain point in time, Yuno understood Lin Yu better than Lin Yu himself.

However, precisely because their thinking is similar, when Yuno can see through Lin Yu's thoughts, Lin Yu can also see through Yuno's thoughts.

Even though it was their first time making love, the unspoken understanding between them afterwards gave them a subtle feeling of being an old married couple.

"Everything I said before was true, now you believe me, right?"

"... I really believe it now, senior."

Upon hearing Yuno address him as "senpai" again, Lin Yu suddenly moved closer to Yuno's face and asked her Yuno a light smile.

"Why aren't you calling me 'darling' anymore?"

"Because..."

After hesitating for a second, Yuno suddenly pushed away Lin Yu, who wanted to hug her, with a cold face.

"I'm angry! Senior, you've really gone too far!"

"Do you think I'm a toy?! How could you treat me like this—you should go find someone else!"

Seeing Yuno's inexplicable 'anger,' Lin Yu remained silent for a moment before realizing...

Yuno, what a wonderful woman.

Even though the two of them had just been making love, when they should have continued to be affectionate, Yuno chose to push Lin Yu away, thus giving up the time that should have been hers to have all of Lin Yu.

Although she had sensed it before, in Yuno's eyes...

My feelings and everyone else's thoughts are far more important than her personal opinions.

"Get out! Get out!"

After catching the pillow that Yuno threw, Lin Yu didn't know what to say.

He really wanted to hug her and tell her that she didn't have to do that.

However, Lin Yu is now very clear that Yuno's self-deprecating personality and habit of prioritizing others cannot be changed in a day or two.

Let's leave it at that for today. Her illness will require a lifetime of treatment.

"Alright, alright, there's no need to keep a straight face. I'm leaving now."

"Take care of yourself—stop thinking about anything else."

Seeing that Lin Yu didn't show any dissatisfaction before leaving using the Quantum Teleportation System, Yuno knew that her less-than-stellar performance had been seen through completely.

Alas, I am still no match for my predecessors in this respect.

When he plays a character, not only is his acting superb, but he also breathes without even speeding up.

Compared to him, I'm really not that great in this respect.

Anyway, at least they managed to get him out of there.

After all...

—I'm not the only one who's been waiting for you to come back these past few years.

Everyone is waiting for you.

So... I'll be less selfish today.

After leaving Yuno's room, Lin Yu returned to his own room.

In the room where Lin Yu hadn't returned for several years, Lin Yu unsurprisingly found it to be spotlessly clean.

Although he no longer needs to shower to keep his body clean, Lin Yu still changed into a new set of clothes after rinsing himself out of habit.

After doing all this, Lin Yu picked up the group photo of the three people on the table.

The struggle against the Finality has finally come to an end today.

More than five years ago, Lin Yu took a group photo with Rita and Bianca, and he never expected things to turn out this way.

Although the battle with the Finality is over, it doesn't mean he can rest easy now.

But at least today, it's okay if I take a short rest.

"Elder sister..."

After whispering the word, Lin Yu suddenly felt a presence behind him.

"What's wrong, A'yu?"

Behind Lin Yu, Rita, dressed in Umbral Rose Lin Yu outfit, smiled and asked him a question.

"If you miss your sister so much, why are you looking at the photos?"

Hearing Rita's teasing remark, Lin Yu put down the photo in his hand and walked towards Rita.

"Wow, it's been more than three years since we last met, and it seems like the telepathy between us has become even stronger."

"Yes, that's true."

The next second, the two, who had been separated for a long time, embraced each other tightly.

"Welcome back, A'yu."

"I'm back, sister."

As Rita hugged her younger brother, she truly felt that nothing else mattered.

During those three years, although she outwardly showed trust in Lin Yu, it was actually just a facade Rita wore to reassure people.

If even Lin Yu's family member showed such worry, then those less mature girls must be even more deeply troubled.
