Chapter 601

"Yes, to be honest, whoever marries His Your Highness Holy Child will have a lifetime of happiness."

"Are you kidding me? How could anyone dare to marry someone as perfect as His Your Highness Holy Child? Don't they even know what they look like?"

"That's true... Even as a woman, I wouldn't be able to lift my head when standing in front of His Your Highness Holy Child."

While pedestrians were discussing the incident, inside a seemingly ordinary black sedan parked on the street...

Hoshikage Hisomi glanced helplessly at the 'Holy Child' on the building's screen, then looked at Claudia, Toudou Yuna, and... the Holy Child behind him.

That's right, the Holy Child standing behind Hoshikage Hisomi is the real Holy Child Toudou Seika, while the one appearing on the building's screen is... his most respected Your Highness Divine Child.

But everything goes back to last night.

His Your Highness Holy Child suddenly ran to Toudou Yuna's room and discussed things with Toudou Yuna and Claudia for a long time.

After finally gaining the unanimous approval of the two women, His Your Highness Divine Child was forced to wear women's clothing this morning... and even replaced Toudou Seika as the 'Holy Child' for a day.

It's true what they say, they're mother and daughter...

Although it's not usually noticeable, Her Highness the Your Highness Holy Child is actually a rather lively woman, just like Toudou Yuna.

The meeting ended shortly afterward.

——

In the building's lounge.

The 'Holy Child' also let out a slight breath.

Looking at the white jumpsuit she was wearing, she gave a helpless smile.

'It seems that getting used to something is a terrible thing.'

As he spoke, the 'Holy Child' took off his hat, and at the same time, a slight change occurred in his appearance.

Her originally tall stature suddenly seemed to have shrunk, and her originally silver hair had turned even whiter.

She raised her head, revealing her azure eyes.

"Honestly, I don't know how this girl came up with this crazy idea."

Shaking her head, Luo Mio also left the room.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw two figures standing outside.

"To be honest, at first I didn't even realize it."

A very handsome, dark-haired man with a wry smile looked at Luo Mio and spoke.

"Me too."

The beautiful and charming mature woman standing to the side also nodded.

Then, she complained to the person in front of her, "And Brother Miohua, since you're back, you should at least have told us."

Luo Mio smiled at the two of them and said, "If I told you, I estimate that this council meeting wouldn't even need to be held. After all, the 'Holy Child' and his two guards aren't even present, so what's the point of holding it?"

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, the man and woman exchanged a smile.

Indeed, if they had known, they probably would have done the same as Toudou Seika, suddenly changing their route on their way to China yesterday and heading directly towards Divine Residence.

Then the woman walked over and hugged Luo Mio.

"Welcome back, Brother Miohua."

Luo Mio gently patted the woman's shoulder and smiled.

"Yes, I'm back, Kisara."

That's right, the man and woman standing in front of Luo Mio now are none other than Satomi Rentaro and Tendo Kisara.

Just as the parliament was about to begin, the Holy Child suddenly informed the two of them via video call. However, because they were about to enter, the two could only suppress their surprise and joy and do their job of guarding.

Five years have passed, and like Toudou Seika, they have undergone a complete transformation.

Satomi Rentaro Tendo Kisara more beautiful and charming.

After releasing Tendo Kisara, Satomi Rentaro also came over and hugged Luo Mio, then patted Luo Mio's back heavily and said with a laugh.

"I still remember the scene when you knocked me unconscious very clearly."

Luo Mio chuckled and pushed Satomi Rentaro away, then said, "So, are you coming to settle accounts with me now?"

"Of course, I can give you that opportunity now."

As she spoke, Luo Mio beckoned to Satomi Rentaro.

"..."

When Satomi Rentaro saw this, he looked away, as if he hadn't said what he had just said.

Upon seeing this, Tendo Kisara covered his mouth and chuckled softly, then lightly tapped Satomi Rentaro's arm and said something.

"What's wrong, Rentaro? When you first woke up, you were shouting that you were going to teach Brother Miohua a lesson. Why are you chickening out now?"

Satomi Rentaro rolled his eyes and said matter-of-factly.

"How can you call that cowardly? I was just... cough cough, yeah..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tendo Kisara and gently patted Satomi Rentaro on the back of the head.

"Alright, alright, I know what kind of person you are."

"Tsk, there's nothing we can do about it. Who knows how Brother Miohua managed to do it, managing to replace my missing arm, leg, and eyes."

"Kisara, didn't your kidneys come back too?"

Satomi Rentaro complained, "Besides, unlike you, Kisara, my fighting power doesn't increase so dramatically after I recover."

Tendo Kisara was originally a sword demon who had passed down the Tendo family's sword-drawing technique without permission. His swordsmanship was so profound that he could cut through objects ten meters in front of his blade, and he even possessed the terrifying strength to kill a Level 4 Gastrea with a single blow.

However, due to his kidney problems, Tendo Kisara unable to unleash his full power in every action, which limits his combat strength.

However, with the recovery of his kidneys, Tendo Kisara's fighting ability can be said to have increased dramatically, and after five years of honing his skills, his swordsmanship has probably already reached the superhuman level.

Looking at the now fully grown-up Tendo Kisara and Satomi Rentaro, Luo Mio's eyes also revealed a complex expression of emotion.

He gently touched his nose.

"Alright, you two, don't keep them waiting outside for too long."

The person Luo Mio was referring to was Claudia, Toudou Yuna, Toudou Seika, and Hoshikage Hisomi, who were waiting for the three of them outside the venue.

"While I'm at it, I'll go back and check on those girls."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Satomi Rentaro's eyes flickered slightly, dimming a little.

Beside him Tendo Kisara held the hand of Satomi Rentaro.

Luo Mio Satomi Rentaro, then walked out of the room.

Tendo Kisara and Satomi Rentaro followed behind.

——

They returned to the Divine Residence.

Luo Mio also came to the shelter under the Sacred Tree with Satomi Rentaro.

After arriving at the level where the "Cursed Children" reside.

Luo Mio also slowly walked over.

What Luo Mio saw was a cute and well-behaved little girl sleeping soundly in the sleep pod.

But unlike before Luo Mio left, their bodies are no longer vaguely visible, but rather real bodies with flesh and blood color.

Then, Luo Mio and Satomi Rentaro arrived at the several sleeping pods placed together.

Sleeping in these slumbering pods are Fuse Midori, Tsuki, Tina, Chizuru Kaseyo, Aihara Enju, and Kuroho Hidari, as well as Maria and the others.

Beside Maria was a girl with a gentle smile, as beautiful and tender as a butterfly.

Looking at the sleeping Aihara Enju, Satomi Rentaro a slight sense of melancholy.

"According to the scientists, the slumber pods are absorbing the energy emanating from the Sacred Tree and the Life Force from the fallen leaves, transferring this life energy into Enju and the others to sustain their lives."

"Yes, I know, after all, I created these sleep pods."

"Although their lives are not in danger, they have not been able to wake up..."

Looking at the Satomi Rentaro, Luo Mio smiled and said, "Don't worry, they will fully wake up in a while."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Rentaro's eyes flickered slightly.

"It will take about six months to a year. Their souls and bodies are slowly merging. After all, their original bodies had the concept of 'Gastrea Virus,' and their souls were also partially infected. It will take some time to completely free these girls from the Cursed Children fate they were born with."

Similarly, after they awaken, they will forget that they were once "Cursed Children" infected with Gastrea Virus; they will only remember that they are human.

Satomi Rentaro looked at Luo Mio and asked.

"Since the Gastrea Virus has been completely eradicated from this world, and the survivors have forgotten everything about Gastrea Virus and Gastrea, why does Brother Miohua want us to keep this memory?"

In response to Rentaro's question, Luo Mio chuckled and replied.

"Because I believe in you, Rentaro."

"You know the harm and sorrow caused by Gastrea Virus, so you would never let this world, or Enju and the others, live in this world in pain and sorrow again."

"And someone has to bear the burden of the memories of the Old World, right? In order to prevent the same mistakes from happening again."

"..."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Satomi Rentaro also fell silent.

Luo Mio Satomi Rentaro and walked up to the four little ones, including Fuse Midori, and said softly.

"I'm sorry, it seems I'll have to come back to visit you next time I'm back."

"Don't worry, I'll prepare gifts for you later."

Then Luo Mio arrived in front of... that beautiful and gentle girl, as beautiful as a butterfly.

Scenes from the past flashed through Luo Mio's mind.

——

"Sorry, big brother, I'm supposed to be the birthday person, but I ran off alone."

'Have you forgotten what your older brother taught you?'

"You've transformed from a caterpillar into a butterfly; you're now becoming an angel."

'You must visit her sometime and become friends with her.'

'Thank you so much, big brother, for being so kind to us... Please take care of my little sister and the others.'

——

Recalling all this, a gentle look appeared in Luo Mio's eyes, and she murmured something to herself.

"It seems you can't become an angel yet, after all, you still need to take care of Maria and the others after you wake up..."

Luo Mio gently stroked the cold exterior of the sleep pod and stood up.

Seeing Luo Mio stand up, Satomi Rentaro asked.

"Brother Miohua... how long are you staying this time?"

"I estimate it will take about half a month."

"Half a month...?"

Luo Mio glanced at Satomi Rentaro and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

After all... I still need to go back and spend the New Year with my older sister and grandmother.

How about we have another match?

"KOK" League player competition.

On a vast plain on the outskirts of the Vermillion Kingdom, two figures stood facing each other from afar.

These two are none other than Luo Mio's close friend Kurogane Ikki, and his fiancée, Stella Vermillion.

The two gazed at Stella looked at Ikki, then spoke with a fierce expression.
