When she came to her senses, she found herself slumped helplessly on the ground.
However, none of that matters anymore. What matters is...
"...as the literal meaning suggests..."
"...As you can see, my daughter is not very talented..."
Hughie was somewhat incoherent; for a moment, she didn't even know what to say.
【"but……"】
She looked up, gazing into Rick's crimson eyes, her voice now tinged with pleading.
"...Please, forever and ever, let me stay by your side..."
"I'm the one who needs your help."
Rick responded with a smile.
In the distance, the world's wounds seemed to have been healed by the two of them, transformed into a beautiful sunset...
[The image reflects the two embracing, forever...]
Eros Chocolate World, Metata: "Finally..."
In the world of the Demon List, Long Sanyuan exclaimed, "Waaaaah~ I'm so touched!!"
In the world of To Love-Ru, Haruna Sairenji says, "What a beautiful love... love..."
In the world of Super Beast Armed, Yuan Zheng says: "Love can overcome everything! Let's heal the wounds of the past and protect our shared future!"
Back inside the cave, Chlorine, who had also witnessed everything, recited vows for the two.
"Husband Rick, do you take Shubi to be your wife, to walk with her through thick and thin, to love her, and to live on together?"
Hearing the oath, Rick smiled bitterly. It was the most fitting oath for this era, the simplest yet most difficult request: to live together...
"Yes, I swear."
"Seriously, Rick! This is where you say 'I swear on my will'!"
"Sorry, that slogan is no longer valid, so it should be '[swearing an oath to a shared will]'."
Hearing Rick say that, Kron puffed out her cheeks and muttered something under her breath.
"...They actually did so many things behind my back, it's really infuriating..."
"And what exactly happened?!"
"I rushed over as soon as news of your hiding reached me."
"Who knew they'd suddenly announce their marriage without any prior warning!"
Rick's expression gradually turned helpless, and he uttered a comment that sounded like that of a spectator...
"It was Chlorine who said we should have a ceremony... Seriously, you talk too much nonsense..."
My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute, Akagi Sena: "Agreed! Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and get to work!"
【Ahem~】
Chlorine glared at Rick, as if to say, "I'll deal with you later!"
Then they continued reciting their wedding vows.
"Shubi, my bride, do you take Rick to be your husband, to walk hand in hand with him, to support him, to love him, and to cherish him?"
"...I do..."
[Hubi answered eagerly.]
"...Rick gave Shubi the meaning of existence, the meaning of life...and a heart. Shubi swore to Rick...that she would never let Rick die...Shubi would live on, and be with Rick...until the very end..."
"...[Swearing an oath to a shared will]..."
As Shubi spoke, Riku kept his eyes fixed on her...
[It must have been tough for her to say so much at once...]
【Oh~ Oh~】
Chloe looked at Rick with a teasing expression; she couldn't believe her younger brother could make such an expression.
[You're blushing~]
"In short, as your older sister, let me first congratulate you on your marriage."
[Klonie took out the flowers she had prepared beforehand, walked up to Shubi, and directly lifted Shubi's hood.]
"No, Klonie!"
[In Shubi's trembling body, in her eyes closed in fear.]
[Despite Rick's surprised expression, Kloni showed no astonishment or fear towards the mechanical contraption on Shubi's head. Instead, she gently placed the flower she was holding on Shubi's head.]
"Oh~~ So cute!"
"Klonie...why?"
Rick and Schwi were surprised by Chlorne's performance...
"Because she's the bride Rick chose, right?"
[Klonie said matter-of-factly, "She's been watching Rick the whole time too..."]
Then she reached up and removed the jewels embedded in her clothes.
"Then, let's engrave your name on it one last time."
"Engraved on this stone?"
Rick asked, puzzled.
[Klonie pulled out a piece of paper from somewhere, waved it around, and said helplessly.]
"Because you don't exist on the surface, you can't leave any records, right?"
[And on that stone, Chronie's name was already carved.]
【[Clonedora]】
Chapter 412 actually uses this method?
"Clonie's name?"
"That's right, my surname will now be the surname of all three of us."
Disguised as decoration... I see, that way no one else would see it.
And they... can also leave their names behind...
As expected of Chronie, I can now confidently entrust everyone to her care.
"Thank you for thinking about our name."
Rick smiled and used a knife to carve his and Shubi's names onto the paper...
[Actually, there's also a little bit of Chlorne's own personal motive involved here...]
This gem was inherited from her grandfather. After Rick and Shubi engraved their names on it, they could be considered her younger brother and sister...
Chronie stared intently at the two people before her, as if afraid she might forget their faces...
Her expression was a mixture of happiness, sadness, worry, and reluctance… She said this before saying goodbye.
"Rick, Schwi..."
"I don't know what you two or anyone else are planning. You want to erase yourselves from this world..."
"But I know I have an important younger brother and a lovely younger sister!"
"So, I'm begging you..."
"I don't want to lose any more family members, please don't force yourself!"
Carefully putting away the now 'warmer' gem, Chronie lowered her head and spoke in a trembling voice, almost pleading.
"Yes, no one will die, and I won't let anyone die. This [game] is one I will definitely win."
"Leave it to us, sister."
Elaina from The Witch's Journey World: "What a heartwarming scene~"
So what if I'm reincarnated as a spider? Spider Girl: "Rik! You absolutely can't break your promise to your sister!"
"What's agreed upon must be done!!"
[In the jungle, several agile figures flashed by like black lightning!]
They are a species of orcs out hunting for food. In such times, the effort of labor is easily destroyed, so in most cases, hunting is the most important source of food!
Their target was a figure dressed in black robes standing in the distance.
[Their keen senses detected the other party's identity in an instant: human!]
In this environment where living things are scarce, the ever-growing human population is a decent way to satisfy their hunger.
Although it didn't taste good, it was big enough to fill my stomach.
The figure's reaction was utterly insignificant compared to those of these 'orcish races.' The moment the figure turned around and 'discovered' them, sharp claws and fangs were already inches away!
【However! 】
[The next instant! The figures seemed to suddenly realize something!]
He forcibly twisted his body in mid-air, but did not make contact with the figure.
"It has a smell; it's [black ash]."
[One of the minotaurs spoke with a tone full of apprehension.]
[Black and gray substances are equally deadly to them!]
"As expected of the [orc race], I'm fine with eating you, but I guarantee it will taste awful."
The figure pulled up a corner of its black robe, revealing skin scorched beyond recognition by the [black ash]. An ordinary person would likely have cried out in agony, but the figure spoke calmly, as if the arm wasn't even their own.
"...Who are you?"
[Human? No, that's not right! The enemy is clearly speaking the language of the orcs!]
[And when the other person pulled back their black robe, the foul odor of burnt body wafted out from beneath the covering.]
[This smell is particularly unpleasant to orcs, whose sense of smell is very sensitive.]
However, the other party did not answer their questions, but continued to speak in a calm tone about something that suddenly startled them.
"On the western coast of the continent of Lucia, where you have established your base, the goblins are preparing to conduct bomb detonation experiments."
【"Um?!!"】
"That's a massive destructive weapon called [Marrow Explosion], capable of killing even gods."
The other party continued to provide more detailed information, even producing a map with precise markings of their base!
【“!!!”】
Several orcs were trembling with exertion; this was their orcish ability—to determine whether someone was lying by observing their heartbeat, pupil size, and even the sound of blood flow in their capillaries!
However, the answer is obvious!
Although all of the other party's physical data were abnormal, it was all due to the corrosion of [Black Ash]. The only part that was not corroded by [Black Ash] was the pupils, which showed no emotion whatsoever, revealing the owner's sincerity.
"You are individuals who possess [Blood Destruction], aren't you?"
"Goblin facilities should be easy to infiltrate."
"You can sneak in and dispose of it however you like."
[This unidentified, unrecognized individual, then turned and left...]
The orcs exchanged bewildered glances... The fact that their opponents could pinpoint the exact location of their settlement meant they couldn't simply ignore it...
【after a while……】
When figures returned to this secret outpost on the western side of the West Asian continent, they found it had been completely destroyed...
