Chapter 600

The woman's beautiful, silver-grey eyes looked toward the shrine they were about to reach.

As she climbed the stone steps, the girl's gaze fell upon the house with its lights on.

Then the woman jogged towards the house.

Upon entering the house, the woman looked down at the many pairs of shoes displayed in the entryway.

The woman raised her eyes to look at the light at the end of the corridor and slowly walked forward.

Then the woman slowly walked to the connection between the corridor and the living room, looking towards the living room.

"!"

The woman's silver-gray eyes slowly widened, her gaze fixed on a figure in the living room.

The figure seemed to notice the woman's presence and raised its eyes to look at her.

Then he revealed a very familiar smile.

"You're back."

"... Um."

The 'children' who have not yet woken up

"..."

At the dinner table, the woman ate her dinner very quietly.

Or rather, she is enjoying this slightly noisy yet very warm moment.

Toudou Yuna looked at her daughter and then spoke.

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you. This is your brother's fiancée, who will be your sister-in-law in the future, Miss Claudia Enfield."

Upon hearing her mother's words, the woman realized what was happening and looked up at Claudia with a hint of surprise.

Claudia also gave a gentle smile and looked at the woman.

"Hello."

"Fiancée..."

The woman murmured to herself, lowered her head, and then continued to eat her dinner quietly.

Seeing this scene, Toudou Yuna sighed softly in her heart.

Claudia, as if she knew something, simply smiled and then looked at Luo Mio.

Luo Mio noticed Claudia's gaze and touched her nose.

Dinner was quickly finished before long.

After dinner, Toudou Yuna pulled Claudia towards the house.

"Tia and I are going to pack the blankets and sheets for tonight's bed."

Then, as if sensing something, Hoshikage Hisomi very consciously cleared the table and said something.

"Your His Highness, leave the cleaning to me. You should get some rest."

Hoshikage Hisomi's wife also went to another room under the pretext of taking care of Hoshikage Shin.

Soon, only Luo Mio and the woman remained in the room.

In response to everyone's actions and reactions, Luo Mio stood up and spoke to her younger sister.

"Would you like to go for a walk?"

"..."

The woman didn't say much, but simply nodded gently.

After they went outside, Luo Mio and the Holy Child arrived at the Sacred Tree outside the courtyard.

There is a viewing platform on the side of the Sacred Tree.

To the left of the observation deck, you can see the distant Far East Capital located by the sea, while to the right, you can see the lake and cabins in the Divine Residence, and even the dense forest in the distance.

Luo Mio leaned against the railing, gazing at the beautiful night view before her, and softly spoke to the Holy Child.

"What? After all these years, you're not going to say a word?"

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, the Holy Child slightly opened his mouth, then lowered his beautiful silver-gray eyes.

"I... I just don't know what to say..."

Perhaps when Luo Mio initially chose to destroy the world, I was very puzzled and confused, and wanted to ask Luo Mio why she did this and why she had to bear it alone.

However, the five years she spent awakening after her slumber had allowed her to grow considerably.

She knew Luo Mio's reasons and motives for doing this, so she actually had a lot to say to Luo Mio.

But now, she didn't know what to say...

Because she deeply hated her past self... powerless, without authority... completely incapable of helping Luo Mio.

"..."

Luo Mio looked at the Holy Child, who had grown into an unparalleled beauty capable of captivating the nation after five years.

Perhaps knowing what she was thinking, Luo Mio didn't say much, but instead looked at the bustling city lights in the distance, the golden-orange lights as dazzling as starlight in the sky.

Then Luo Mio slowly spoke.

"You know what? When I was first born into this world, my mother hoped that I would inherit the name of 'Holy Child' and save the world."

"Huh?"

"At first, I didn't really have much thought about inheriting the name 'Holy Child'. Whether or not I inherited the name wouldn't have any impact on me, so I didn't refuse to inherit the name 'Holy Child' at the time."

"But you know what? I told Mom right after you were born."

"No one is more suited to the name 'Holy Child' than you."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, the Holy Child clenched his fist.

"But I..."

"Do you feel extremely incompetent and useless?"

A look of deep resentment appeared in the Holy Child's silver-gray eyes.

He was said to be the most suitable person to become the 'Holy Child,' but he had to rely on the power of Tendou Kikunojou, Hoshikage Hisomi, and even Luo Mio...

As the head of state, he lacked the dignity, imposing presence, and power of a ruler...

Even when something went wrong, he could only sit helplessly in the command center at the back and watch quietly.

Some even believe that, aside from her beauty, she was actually of no use whatsoever back then.

"But aren't you doing a great job right now?"

Luo Mio's sudden words also made the Holy Child raise his eyes and look at Luo Mio.

"No one is born perfect and without any flaws."

"Everyone grows up, and I am no exception."

"Just like a newborn child, their soul is like a blank sheet of paper. With each growth, this blank sheet will be colored, and the vibrancy of the color will vary depending on each different growth. Ultimately, this sheet will be colored into a picture through various growth processes. Whether this picture becomes a dirty and bad picture or a perfect pattern that is captivating and makes people's hearts flutter depends entirely on yourself."

"Aren't you now that perfect picture?"

Luo Mio's words left the Holy Child speechless.

Then Luo Mio reached out and gently touched her head, just like when she was a child and hid under the covers crying because she was scared, Luo Mio came over and patiently comforted her.

"Thank you for your hard work these past five years."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, the Holy Child threw himself into Luo Mio's arms and sobbed softly.

"I've missed you... for the past five years, I've always..."

Luo Mio looked at the Holy Child whose shoulders were trembling slightly and gently patted her back.

"Yes, I know."

"..."

After an unknown amount of time, the Holy Child, having calmed down, released Luo Mio and talked with Luo Mio about many things.

He travels the world with Satomi Rentaro and Tendo Kisara to see the lives of the survivors.

Luo Mio looked at the Holy Child, and then suddenly asked.

"So, what do you want to do most right now?"

"Actually... I want the name 'Holy Child' to come to an end in this era."

Upon hearing the Holy Child's words, Luo Mio was slightly taken aback, but then instantly understood the meaning behind them.

The title 'Holy Child' was used to refer to the rulers of the Old World, but in this new world, the title 'Holy Child' is no longer necessary.

Looking at the bright moon outside, Luo Mio spoke softly.

"Do whatever you want to do. Mom and I will always be there to support you."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, the Holy Child's beautiful face revealed a playful and adorable smile, like that of a young girl.

Then the Holy Child raised his eyes and looked at the bright moon in the night sky, speaking in a very relaxed and carefree tone.

"Since I've decided to completely erase the name 'Holy Child' from the new world, I need to choose a new name. Let me think..."

As he spoke, the Holy Child gave Luo Mio a bright and lovely smile.

"How about we just call it Toudou Seika?"

Upon hearing the name her younger sister had given her, Luo Mio chuckled softly and then gently tapped her head.

"Whatever you want."

Perhaps because he had chatted with Luo Mio, the Holy Child... Toudou Seika looked exceptionally relaxed, and even his tone of voice was very light and free.

"But before that, I need to get everything sorted out."

Toudou Seika made a sound that sounded like a complaint, then glanced at her white-haired, blue-eyed brother beside her, and suddenly, as if she had thought of an idea, she revealed a mischievous smile.

Luo Mio was also taken aback when she noticed Toudou Seika's smile.

Then, an ominous premonition involuntarily arose in my heart.

Toudou Seika's smile unconsciously reminded him of his mother's smile...

After all, they are mother and daughter...

Then Toudou Seika smiled and said to Luo Mio.

"I suddenly remembered I have something to discuss with my mother, so I'll go inside first..."

"..."

Looking at Toudou Seika's back, Luo Mio also had a helpless expression on her face, and then turned around to look at Sacred Tree.

"It seems it'll be a while before those little girls fully awaken..."

I have to go back to spend the New Year with my older sister and grandmother.

China.

In a building located in Beijing, the current capital of China.

An important meeting is in progress.

At the large round table of the conference, the top leaders of many countries gathered together.

Within it, the nominal leader of the World Unity Organization, the 'Holy Child,' solemnly recounts a series of measures and policies for the next generation.

And through this important global conference, people all over the world are now watching its live broadcast.

At the foot of the building, many passersby looked up at the enormous fluorescent screen on the building, and at the solemn and beautiful Holy Child on the screen.

Some passersby also started discussing it.

"His Your Highness Holy Child is as beautiful as ever."
