"Milia!"
"Miliellia!"
Cain in the air and Sasori on the ground turned their heads at the same time and spoke in unison.
A white-haired girl whose body below the neck was covered by White Zetsu slowly emerged from the roses beneath the Nightfall, her face full of sorrow.
Beside her, White Zetsu's head stretched out, looking awkwardly at Sasori.
"This girl insisted that I bring her back. I refused at first, but she said she'd kill herself if I didn't agree. I figured you wouldn't want her to die either, so..."
"But don't worry. I've already contacted this world's government branch and told Minister Ilawan everything that happened here!"
As he said this, White Zetsu looked maliciously at Cain above.
His expression plainly said, You're finished. Just wait to get dealt with.
Cain did not care in the slightest.
Though he was usually polite to Minister Ilawan, it was not as if he feared him.
Besides, he had not hurt Sasori.
Minister Ilawan had no reason to make trouble for him.
Cain's entire focus was now on his daughter.
"Why did you come back, Milia?!"
Sasori had no mind to trouble White Zetsu. He shouted at Miliellia, his voice filled with anxiety and confusion.
"I'm sorry, Brother Sasori, but I'm Father's daughter after all. Father was the one who took me out of the cemetery and showered me with so much love..."
As she spoke, Miliellia raised her head and met Cain's gaze with tear-filled eyes.
She was glad to see hesitation and guilt in her father's eyes.
It made Miliellia believe even more firmly.
He had only made the decision to sacrifice her because he had to protect this world.
Father was sad too. He was in pain too. He still loved her.
But he had to do this...
