Kaito understood Sephie's meaning. Her purpose was nothing more than to win him over and help her maintain universal peace.
As long as his strength grew and surpassed or at least rivaled Gid's,
Then he would marry Lala, become a member of the royal family, and everyone would honor him as the new universe overlord.
Sephie would certainly assist him from the sidelines.
If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have the heart to entrust all three daughters to Kaito.
If entrusting one wasn't secure enough, then entrust them all!
Only this would make Kaito more committed and willing to help become part of the royal family.
"Mrs. Sephie, are you sure this is okay?"
"Of course. Countless lives were lost before the universe achieved peace. Now that we finally have peace, if war were to reignite, many galaxies might not be able to withstand such a catastrophe."
Sephie was ultimately kind-hearted and also knew she had no escape. Not only was she a member of the royal family, but her beauty alone would make countless people covet her.
The last descendant of the universe's most beautiful race, the most beautiful woman in the universe – that was no joke.
During their conversation, even Kaito kept glancing at her.
Of course, he didn't look elsewhere; that was too dangerous. Just looking at her face was enough to make ordinary people's desires erupt. It was only because he possessed the Geo Archon Rex Lapis's ability and was well-traveled that he didn't do anything improper.
"...Lala is very cute. Nana seems a bit willful, but her heart is good. And Momo is somewhat similar to you."
"To be honest, if I refused, it wouldn't just be hypocritical, it would also show a lack of confidence in myself."
Kaito actually dared to say this directly.
Politely refuse?
Such thing doesn't exist. Like is like, want is want.
What's the difference between a child making a choice and an adult making a choice?
If conditions allow, who wouldn't want it all?
"The universe's overlord... If my strength reaches that level, I'll come to help you immediately. But until then, you'll have to work hard to maintain things for a while longer."
"Hehe, okay, Kaito."
From the moment Kaito intended to agree, Sephie stopped calling him Kaito-san. This was a sign of a closer relationship.
"That's great. I finally feel relieved."
"Speaking of which, Mrs. Sephie..."
"Just call me Sephie."
"Alright. What I meant to say was, can't you also gain powerful strength through the chat group's Gacha?"
"Hehe, because I'm also not good at and don't really like fighting. Even if I had powerful combat strength, I probably couldn't fully utilize it..."
Sephie replied with a smile, her pink eyes continuously looking at Kaito.
"Besides, I can feel that you have the potential to become a king."
"It's not because of the ability you obtained, but because you think, and you act, so you possess it."
"The heart within you that refuses to be ordinary is destined to keep leaping on the path to becoming a king."
"Your dark eyes see not a narrow place, but the boundless universe, as brilliant as the cosmos."
After speaking, Sephie stood up, walked over to Kaito, suddenly crouched down, leaned in, and gently kissed his forehead.
"I'm counting on you, Kaito."
After the light kiss on the forehead, Sephie's face was also extremely red. But being a queen, she had seen a lot.
After quickly calming her somewhat fluttering heart, she smiled at Kaito again and left, leaving only Kaito behind, smiling helplessly.
Did he want to become a king?
Not really.
But if conditions allowed...
Maybe, as Sephie said, he did have a heart that refused to be ordinary.
It's like when people have money; they stand tall, are confident in everything they do, and even dare to do bold things.
How bold depends on how big your heart is and how high your abilities are.
For example, from acquiring a small company to becoming the world's richest person, even becoming the world's business overlord, controlling the economic lifelines of various countries!
…
After some time, everyone was tired. They returned to the campfire, changed back into their clothes behind the stone wall, and also took off their swimsuits to dry.
Kie's ability was clarified. Although she possessed the water element superpower, superpowers were divided into high and low levels and proficiency.
With the low-level superpower Kie obtained, and her low proficiency, barely generating a bucket of water was very difficult.
However, she could produce several more buckets of clean water by separating it from seawater.
Besides generating water, for combat, she could use water droplets the size of toothpicks to attack. Within 10 meters, it could still hurt.
Well, it was purely for combat, not for creating large amounts of water.
Even Irisviel wasn't very good at it. She wasn't proficient in water creation Magecraft and didn't have a water attribute, so her effect was similar to Kie's.
"Two buckets of water are enough. We'll use rock pots to cook."
Kaito used rock to make three cooking hearths, placed three rock pots on them, and started cooking.
Under current conditions, this was the only way. Including the later dish, Japanese-style oyakodon rice bowl.
Kaito had never eaten it, but he had heard of it. The way he heard about it and its meaning were a bit off, but it was a normal dish!
A rice bowl made with chicken and eggs, hence called 'parent and child'. (T/N: Oya and Ko from Oyakodon respectively means parent and child.)
Looking at it this way, it might seem a bit cruel? But that's just naming.
