*Noir's POV*
Yulia and I stepped out of the Mirror and saw her family and we all smiled happily. Yulia hugged her mother and sister with some tears on her eyes. It was such a heart warming scene. Uncle Arnold came to me with a smile and patted my shoulder.
"Good work kid. Although we cannot see what you did in the last fight but we saw the outcome of your fight with Parakrami. You really have grown stronger."
Yulia's father, uncle George also came and thanked me.
"Thank you for taking care of Yulia inside the labyrinth."
I shook my head in embarrassment after all this is the father of the girl that I like. I really don't know how to face Yulia's parents right now. What if they don't like me as son in law? Although I think I'm just overthinking things I just couldn't help it.
"No need to thank me, Yulia also taken care of me inside the labyrinth. She cooked delicious food for me and she really helped me a lot. The reason why we went to the labyrinth is to help me to heal my injuries so I really owe her a lot."
Yulia glared at me and sent a telepathic message.
(You don't owe me anything dummy.)
A golden haired girl with red eyes who looks like a younger version of Yulia greeted me.
"I'm Elena, Sister Yulia's little sister. Nice to meet you brother Noir!"
I smiled at her.
"Nice to meet you too."
Uncle Arnold's face became serious and said.
"Yulia, Noir I have to warn you about something. Although the labyrinth can bring you wealth and power, you shouldn't be blinded by it and be cautious. Do not let your ego swell because of your achievements. The labyrinth is extremely dangerous."
""Understood""
Yulia and I answered in unison
"Well, how about we eat in the restaurant nearby before we went back home?"
Yulia's mother, aunt Yasmin suggested.
"Sure, let's do that."
Uncle George agreed to aunt Yasmin's suggestion.
"I preferred Yulia's cooking ---
Uncle Arnold is saying something but uncle George glared at him so he changed the subject.
"That's seems like a nice Idea. Hahaha!"
Uncle Arnold nervously laughed.
We went out of the hospital together and eat to the nearby restaurant. We talked about random things about me and about them. Aunt Yasmin sometimes talked about embarrassing things about Yulia which caused her to blushed and I laughed. She just glared at me threateningly but it's just so cute and not threatening at all.
I felt something warm in my heart. It's unexplainable and comfortable like a warm sunlight in spring. This is what it felt to eat together with a family. It is a feeling that I almost forgotten.
Yulia noticed my melancholy and asked telepathically.
(Are you alright, Noir?)
(Yes, I'm just happy. That's all)
Perhaps she's not the only one who sensed it but they just didn't speak to not embarrassed me. They are really good people.
Good things always end quickly without you noticing it. Maybe that's why good things are precious. They sent me back home in the afternoon and I lay down on my bed and think about things. What to do with my powers? What should I do in the future? What am I going to do with my feelings about Yulia? How should I confess?
I gathered all of my courage and sent a message to her.
...
*Yulia's POV*
We went back to our house after we sent Noir back to his home. I sensed Noir's sadness and it's not just me who noticed it but everyone of us. We all know his situation but we just didn't speak but just continued talking to him.
I looked at my family with some sadness because of guilt. I felt guilty because I felt that I didn't trust them enough. I had many things that hide to them but Noir doesn't have someone to talk to like a family. Because of Noir I realized that I have cherished the time that I was with them and I have to trust them with everything.
"Yulia, is there something wrong?"
My mom worriedly asked. My father and sister also looked at me and I nodded
"Mom, dad and Elena can we talk?"
They looked at each other and mom spoke.
"Sure!"
We walked towards to the dining room and my father asked Selena to guard the door to make sure that there wasn't anyone listening. We sat together and Mom asked.
"So what's wrong honey?"
I took a deep breath
"Phew! I actually don't know how to say it.
First, I was reincarnated from another world."
Silence covered the room as I looked at their shocked expression and waiting for them to accept the situation. My father changed back his expression immediately and spoke.
"I see, so that's why you're more mature than you're supposed to be since you are young."
I nodded and continued speaking.
"Yes dad, I was 19 years old when I got reincarnated."
"Can you tell us about your previous life?"
My mother asked.
"Yes, that's the main reason why I want to talk to you.
My name in my previous life is Yu Xiao Yu. My previous world is called Earth and from the country called China. My world doesn't have super powers or magic at least as far as I know and we relied on science to live.
I have an extremely busy parents but they love me and my little brother very much and I'm very happy but I might have failed their expectations for me. I can proudly say that the education in my country is the best in the world but it has rigorous curriculum. Students spend long hours in classroom and often attend after school tutoring. The competition is also extremely hard and not everyone can endure the pressure. I am one of them, although I'm at the top of the class but I got tired and stopped studying after senior high school.
I tried live streaming because I like playing games and anime. Although I'm not one of those famous streamers with millions of subscribers but I still have tens of thousands of views. I'm happy and satisfied but I'm just worried that I might have failed my parents expectations for me."
My mother came to me and hugged me.
"It's okay Honey, I might not know your parents but I'm sure they will always be proud of You."
"Thank you mom."
Then I resumed telling my story.
"It was until on night that everything changed. After I played and streamed one of the hardest game that I played called the "Eldritch tale" I was summoned and I woke up in dark place full of shadowy figures. The place brightens and a big eyes with rings around it appeared then it Greeted us.
She or it called itself mother system. We are called to be players. To be granted a chance to change our lives and be reincarnated to other worlds with sub systems as gifts. We can travel across the omniverse by using travel gates. In a certain age we will be able to unlock the ability called the "key gatcha" where we can draw keys to open travel gates every year. There are 3 types of keys and gates. Bronze, silver, and gold. Bronze is planetary type of world, silver is universal, and gold is multiversal. We can you can upgrade our gifts by killing other players or make them surrender their gifts. We can also plunder their keys on the same way. If we can upgrade your gifts to the limit we can meet the mother system then it will grant us any wish.
Then I got reincarnated in this world as became your daughter."
"You really suffered a lot honey but you are my daughter no matter what. We will help whenever you need us."
"Thank you Mom."
My father touched his head seriously about the situation.
"Multiverse and Omniverse huh? Sigh! That's certainly a serious problem. I don't think I can help you with your problem but I will still help you as much as I can. I can also ask Arnold about it if you want to. I never thought that my daughter is carrying this heavy responsibility."
My sister Elena is looking at me with sparkling eyes.
"You're the best sister. You're like an anime protagonist, you're so cool."
I puffed my chest proudly. Who doesn't want to be admired by their little sister. The heavy feeling of guilt was gone and I can now talk to them with my true felling without hiding anything.
"Mom, dad there's another thing that I would like to talk to you."
My dad nodded and letting me continue speaking.
"I want to move out and live independently."
Mom and dad's face became serious. I can see Mom's eyes tearing up.
"Why? Did we do something wrong?"
I wiped out her tears and comforted her.
"No mom, I really just wanted to be independent. I'm already an adult after all."
My dad seems to guessed something and asked me.
"So, Where are you planning to move?"
"At Noir's apartment."
I smiled and said but he looked at me disdainfully.
"Sigh! I knew it. I agree but only after you got engaged with Noir. Understand?"
"I'll talk about it with Noir. Thank you dad."
*Ding!*
Hmm? Someone sent a message on my phone?
I took it out and take a look. Noir sent me a message that makes me blush.
[Noir: Yulia, are you free tomorrow? I just want to invite you to hangout with me tomorrow.]
Is he asking me for a date? 你真可爱 (you're so cute)
[Sure!]
I replied immediately without hesitation but I suddenly got nervous so I dragged my mom and Elena to my room to help me prepare for my date tomorrow. We choose my clothes for tomorrow for a while before we eat dinner together and when I say for a while, it's for several hours.
