(Fuli's POV)
As soon as I reached the place... of March's death... I began scanning the space around me... All this time, I've been constantly monitoring March and her condition... I don't know when, but I began to perceive March as my daughter, even changing to be something like a mother to her... Although we never talked about it... Perhaps it's stupid that Eon began to feel such feelings? Perhaps, but I won't give them up... Although the appearance of a second daughter surprised me a little... I wanted March to merge with her, otherwise she would have vanished, dissolving into nothingness, but how wrong I was...
"Strange..." I said quietly, realizing in deep space.
I clearly sensed the signature emanating from several wormholes that I hadn't noticed last time. Although, they're pretty inconspicuous, and I wasn't really looking for anything then...
After following the line connecting to another point in space, I discovered that this wormhole connected to another universe...
As soon as I exited the wormhole, the trail ended...
"So, they're somewhere in this universe." I said thoughtfully.
"I'll give Evernight the coordinates, but she'll have to search blindly..." I said, sighing, as I couldn't find the trail the express crew must have left behind.
After that, I returned to the express.
(Evernight's pov)
As soon as I put Jean to bed, I returned to the main car and sat between March and Hestia, sighing quietly.
"Evernight? Are you okay?" Hestia asked in a worried voice, but March answered for me.
"She's fine, she was just worried about that girl." March said.
"She..." Hestia didn't finish, seeing March nod.
"Yes, she'll be in the harem too..." March said, causing Hestia to stare at me, causing me to cough awkwardly.
"So, how many more girls are you planning on bringing, dear Evernight?" Hestia asked, but her tone was rather threatening.
"Uh... Honestly, I don't know... But maybe two or three more girls, and that's it, not including Stelle." I said.
"Stelle?" Hestia asked.
"She's March's girlfriend, which means she'll be my girlfriend too." I said.
"Hey, she's not my girlfriend!" March shouted, blushing.
I just rolled my eyes.
"Don't listen to her, it's just that March's a bit of a virgin, so..." I couldn't finish as March pulled me close, covering my mouth with her lips.
I was surprised at first, but quickly came to my senses and began to return the kiss, which lasted several minutes.
As soon as we finished, I pulled away from her, and she, in turn, blushed.
"Hey! That's not fair!" and before I could respond, she pulled me back, causing me to feel two large balls pressed against me, and then I felt lips kissing me again...
Am I some kind of kissing toy to you?!
Who cares...
This kiss lasted several minutes, just like March's...
I didn't mind at all, but...
"Uh... Is it okay for me to be here?" Sakura asked, blushing.
Well, I saw her having sex with her sister, so…
"By the way, I don't see Syr, where is she?" I asked my girls, ignoring Sakura's question.
Hestia and March looked at Sakura, whose blush deepened…
"Uh… They're with Rin… Sleeping…" Sakura said.
I just stared at her…
"Did they cuckold you?" I asked.
"No! I was there too…" I said, then fell silent…
"Oh…" I simply said.
But how did Syr end up in their bed…
I guess I better not ask, otherwise I have a feeling Sakura is about to faint from embarrassment…
Anyway…
"It's gotten pretty crowded in here…" a voice I recognized rang out.
"Mom... I mean, Fuli, what are you doing here?" I asked, almost calling her "Mom." I know she called March and me her daughters back then, but maybe she just likes our memories, though I'm not sure, and I'm not ready to call her "Mom" yet...
"Uh... Evernight, part of this dimension belongs to Fuli..." March said awkwardly.
"I know... I didn't mean that... I was just wondering if she came, so she must have something to tell us." I said.
Fuli simply nodded, then instead of looking like a crystal sculpture, she transformed, looking like an ordinary girl...
Damn, she's too beautiful! That white hair with purple tips, those purple eyes with pink star-shaped pupils, and she was wearing a beautiful white dress with purple flowers...
Wait...
"Kiana?!" I jumped up from the couch in shock and stared at Fuli and Kiana...
Hestia and Sakura looked at me incomprehensibly, while March stared intently at Fuli and then nodded...
Yeah, she was watching me, so she definitely saw that game...
"It's been a while since I heard that name." Fuli said, sitting down on the couch...
"So you really are Kiana, and not just disguised as her?" I asked.
"I used to be her, but that was a long time ago..." Fuli said, then I noticed the longing in her eyes, which made my heart clench...
What a fool I am, I knew her story, so why did I mention it...
"Wait, you're Kiana... you mean, Herrscher of Finality?" March asked.
"Like I said, I was once her... That time is gone..." Fuli said.
"But wait... But why are you... Are you the real Fuli?" I asked.
Honestly, I didn't imagine that could happen. But if so, why did she become an Aeon of Memory? Why couldn't she be some kind of Aeon of Finality? I think that would be cooler..."
"I've always been Fuli, ever since I appeared in this universe." Fuli said.
But on the other hand, since she's an Aeon of Memory, maybe she did it to...
Something tells me she didn't just become an Aeon of Memory... She could have created something like Elysium to recreate those who were very dear to her... and those she couldn't let go of...
The Garden of Recollection...
Could it be...
"But you were... a man before..." March said, a little unsure, to which she merely shook her head.
"As I said, for Aeons, man or woman doesn't matter... But don't worry, I like being a woman... I used to appear as a man, but it was just a shell that held me..." Fuli said.
"But since you're here, your world..." I didn't hesitate to say anything, as Fuli nodded and said one word.
"Destroyed." As soon as she said that, a heavy silence hung in the air.
March 7 and I felt our hearts clench. While Sakura and Hestia, despite not understanding anything, also felt sadness...
I didn't ask any more questions and simply walked up to Fuli or Kiana and hugged her. March followed suit, hugging her too...
We sat like that for a few minutes until I felt Fuli place her hand on my back...
I guess this is what a mother looks like when she hugs her daughters... Although, perhaps it's more like an older sister hugging her younger ones...
I wanted to ask her about so many things, but I held back, lest I accidentally hurt her with memories... Although, she is an Aeon of memories...
In any case, now is not the time...
"Mom, so you wanted to tell us something?" I asked in a sweet voice.
Now I will call her my mom without a second thought. It's Kiana! The girl who was my "wife" in my past life is now my mother...
That's so damn cool, especially since she's also the Herrscher of Finality.
Fuli nodded, but she still didn't let March and me go, and we clearly didn't mind...
"I tracked the signal, the rift in space that led me to another universe, after which the trail ends... There's a high chance your friends are in that universe." Fuli said.
"Then we..." I didn't have time to finish before March touched my hand.
"No, you need to explain yourself to one more girl first." March said.
"But..."
"No buts! Just because we're delayed for a couple of days, nothing will happen to them." said March.
"Okay..." I said quietly, giving in...
Then I looked up at Fuli... No, she's not Fuli to me anymore, and not Kiana, just Mom...
"Mom, I'm curious... That incident with Sirin... She..."
Mom simply nodded...
"Yes, I sensed Herrscher in her, but it was different... She's most likely from a parallel world, or an alternate one, but she was once that Sirin, and now she has a lot of power that she definitely didn't have before." said Mom.
"Then is she really stronger than you?" asked March, to which Mom shook her head.
"Then why did you apologize to her as if you were weaker?" I asked.
"I'm not weaker than her... I wouldn't have won, but I wouldn't have lost either... It's just that during our battle, we would have destroyed a lot of universes if we'd fought at full strength... Also, I couldn't fight and protect you at the same time..." Mom said.
Oh, I'm so glad! I have such a cool mom! Nyx, I won't lose!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Achoo..." sneezed the pink-haired girl known as Nyx.
"Nyx, are you sick?" asked the girl with cat ears.
"Shiroko, don't joke! How could such a sweet girl like me get sick?!" Nyx replied, pouting her cute lips.
"Yes, Aunt Nyx, she couldn't be sick, she's too cute!" retorted the little girl, who looked remarkably like a catgirl named Shiroko.
"Kya! Mira-chan, you're cute too!" Nyx cried and rushed to hug the little girl.
"Oh, those two..." Shiroko muttered, looking at her wife, who had a small bump on her belly. There was no doubt that the cat girl was pregnant, which made Shiroko smile stupidly...
