Berikut terjemahan ke bahasa Inggris, dengan gaya narasi tetap halus dan konsisten seperti novel:
In the Kambe family living room, the atmosphere once again felt warm and peaceful. Dim golden light softly reflected off the cream-colored walls and neatly arranged bookshelves. On the coffee table, two cups of hot chocolate released a sweet aroma that filled the room.
On the same soft gray sofa as before, Yukito and Mahiru sat side by side. Mahiru rested her head on Yukito's shoulder, her silky blonde hair cascading down and partially covering his arm.
A thin blanket patterned with spring flowers covered their legs, keeping away the cool night air. On the TV screen, the classic animated film Beauty and the Beast was playing.
The scene showed Belle and the Beast dancing in a grand ballroom illuminated by shimmering candlelight, while Tale as Old as Time played softly in the background.
Mahiru closed her eyes for a moment, enjoying the melody and Yukito's warmth beside her.
"I've always loved this part…" she murmured quietly.
Yukito glanced at her and smiled faintly.
"You must like Belle, don't you?"
Mahiru opened her eyes slightly and smiled warmly.
"Yes… She's smart, independent, but also gentle. And she sees the goodness inside the Beast—something no one else ever did."
Yukito looked at the screen for a moment, then back at Mahiru.
"If I were the Beast… would you still stay by my side?"
Mahiru smiled sweetly, moved closer, and gazed at him tenderly.
"Of course. Even if the whole world called you a monster, I would still hold you like this."
Her words warmed Yukito's chest. He looked at Mahiru for several seconds, as if trying to etch that expression into his memory. Then, without a word, he gently kissed her temple.
Mahiru slowly fell silent, her breathing becoming calm and steady. Her eyelids closed fully, and her body leaned further into Yukito, as if seeking one last comfort before drifting completely to sleep.
Yukito lowered his gaze, watching Mahiru's peaceful sleeping face. There was serenity in her expression, as if all the worries and anxieties that once weighed on her heart had faded away. A gentle, affectionate smile appeared on Yukito's lips.
Carefully, he adjusted his position so Mahiru's head rested comfortably on his shoulder. Then, gently, he picked up the remote and turned off the TV.
Slowly, Yukito slipped one arm beneath Mahiru's knees and the other behind her back. He lifted her carefully, as if carrying something fragile and precious. Mahiru murmured softly in her sleep, but remained curled up in his arms.
Yukito's footsteps echoed softly through the hallway of the Kambe residence. Small ceiling lights provided just enough illumination to guide him toward their bedroom.
Upon arriving, Yukito pushed the door open with his foot, careful not to make a sound. He laid Mahiru down on the left side of the bed and pulled the blanket over her small body.
Yukito sat on the bed for a moment, watching Mahiru sleep peacefully. After making sure she was fully asleep, he stood quietly and walked toward a small desk in the corner.
He sat down, leaned back, and took a deep breath before activating the Multiverse Chat System.
[Kambe Yukito]:
"Sorry everyone, I'm only online now."
[Rimuru Tempest]:
"Where have you been, Yukito? You vanished like you were swallowed by the earth!"
[Kambe Yukito]:
"I was just… spending time with my fiancée."
[Rimuru Tempest]:
"That's it? That's the reason you were offline? Seriously, Yukito?"
[Kambe Yukito]:
"Huh? Why do you sound angry, Rimuru?"
[Rimuru Tempest]:
"Of course I'm angry! I mean… not just angry, I'm jealous! Seriously, Yukito! In my previous life, I never even dated anyone—and now I've reincarnated as a SLIME! A SLIME, do you hear me?!"
[Kambe Yukito]:
"Haha… take it easy, Rimuru. Don't be too sad. Trust me, your soulmate is out there somewhere. Maybe even in your current world—you just haven't met them yet."
[Rimuru Tempest]:
"Hm… you might be right. This world is vast, and the multiverse is even bigger. Maybe I just need to be patient…"
[Kambe Yukito]:
"By the way, what were you all talking about while I was gone?"
[Rimuru Tempest]:
"We shared stories about our respective worlds. For example, Gojo talked about his world, filled with curses and battles between sorcerers and cursed spirits. He himself is a special-grade sorcerer, considered the strongest in his world."
[Rimuru Tempest]:
"Then Levi talked about his world, plagued by the threat of Titans—giant creatures that devour humans. He's the captain of the Special Operations Squad in the Survey Corps."
[Rimuru Tempest]:
"Finally, Chisato shared her life story as a Lycoris agent—part of a secret organization that protects Japan from terrorists. Despite being the most skilled agent, Chisato chooses not to kill and uses rubber bullets instead. She also works at the LycoReco café with her partner."
[Kambe Yukito]:
"Thank you, Rimuru."
[Rimuru Tempest]:
"No problem, Yukito."
[Gojo Satoru is now online]
[Nishikigi Chisato is now online]
[Levi Ackerman is now online]
[Nishikigi Chisato]:
"Finally, Yukito's back~! Where have you been all this time?"
[Rimuru Tempest]:
"He was busy with his girlfriend, Chisato."
[Nishikigi Chisato]:
"Eh? Girlfriend?! Yukito, you have a girlfriend?!"
[Kambe Yukito]:
"Yes, Chisato. And we're actually engaged now."
[Nishikigi Chisato]:
"EHHH?! REALLY?! Yukito, you've gone that far already?! Wow~ congratulations! What's her name? Is she pretty? Cute? Sweet?"
[Kambe Yukito]:
"Her name is Mahiru. And yes… she's beautiful, gentle, caring, but also strong in her own way. I'm lucky to be with her."
[Rimuru Tempest]:
"Wow, so it's not just dating—you're already engaged? Man… now I'm even more jealous…"
[Levi Ackerman]:
"Hmph. Relationships are troublesome. But if she can make you this strong, maybe it's worth it."
[Nishikigi Chisato]:
"Yukito-kun! Are you really getting married? When? Where? Invite me, okay?! I'll bring a special gift~!"
[Kambe Yukito]:
"Haha, of course you're all invited. We're planning it after Mahiru graduates. I want to wait until she's truly ready… and able to choose her own path without pressure."
[Rimuru Tempest]:
"That's so sweet… You're really an ideal future husband, Yukito."
[Gojo Satoru]:
"Come on, Rimuru—let's start a Multiverse Singles Club!"
[Levi Ackerman]:
"I won't be joining that club."
[Rimuru Tempest]:
"No, thank you."
[Nishikigi Chisato]:
"Ugh… now I'm really curious about Mahiru. What is she actually like?"
[Kambe Yukito]:
"If you met her, I'm sure you'd like her right away, Chisato. She has an aura that calms everyone around her. But don't be fooled—beneath her gentleness, she's firm and strong."
[Nishikigi Chisato]:
"Waaah~ I can't wait! When can I meet Mahiru? I want to talk to her! But… our worlds are different, right?"
[Kambe Yukito]:
"That's right, Chisato. Our worlds are different, and the Multiverse Chat System still has limitations. There's an inter-world invitation feature, but it's still locked by the system."
[Nishikigi Chisato]:
"Invitation feature? You mean we can visit each other's worlds?"
[Kambe Yukito]:
"Yes, that's the idea. But it hasn't been activated yet. Maybe the system is still under development, or there are certain requirements we haven't fulfilled."
[Rimuru Tempest]:
"Interesting… Maybe we need to complete missions or reach a certain level to unlock it."
[Gojo Satoru]:
"Agreed! A multiverse meeting would be legendary."
[Levi Ackerman]:
"As long as it doesn't interfere with my mission, I don't mind."
[Nishikigi Chisato]:
"Yay! I'll prepare a special gift for Mahiru! Until that day comes… I'll wait patiently."
Yukito smiled warmly at the holographic screen before him. Soft blue light from the interface reflected on his face. But that smile slowly faded, replaced by a slightly serious expression. He remembered something—an important topic he wanted to bring up.
[Kambe Yukito]:
"…Oh right, there's something I need to talk about."
[Rimuru Tempest]:
"Hm? What is it, Yukito?"
[Gojo Satoru]:
"You sound serious. What's going on?"
[Levi Ackerman]:
"Just say it."
[Nishikigi Chisato]:
"Yukito? What is it?"
[Kambe Yukito]:
"I'm not sure if I should tell you this… but I think you all deserve to know. The truth is… your worlds are actually fiction in my original world."
