It's the resumption of the serialization.

Since long ago, the standard breakfast in our house has been toast and plain omelet. My mother would wake up more than an hour before we did, and it was her daily routine to take the eggs out of the refrigerator. She always boasted that bringing the eggs to room temperature was the key to making a good plain omelet.

After my mother passed away, I started making breakfast.

The first thing I made, which couldn't even be called an omelet, Millie said was delicious and ate it.

She was my salvation, my hope for life, and my joy.

Looking back now, my attempts to save Haru and Carol might have been due to the loss of her—saying that might make me sound like a siscon.

I might have had a stronger desire for recognition than anyone else.

"Millie, can you help me carry this?"

I opened the kitchen window of the log house in My World and called out loudly.

It wasn't Millie who appeared, but Haru. She came running, almost like a dog.

If I said that, the white wolf girl would probably get angry.

"Haru, where's Millie?"

"Millie-sama is busy right now, so I came."

I think she shouldn't be spoiling Millie so much, but that might be impossible.

Millie's past life was the Demon King Famiris Larite, and she was also Haru's former master. The loyalty from that time has not waned.

"Master, we will help too."

"I'll carry the milk."

Pione and Nite, the homunculi, offered to help. Pione still has her usual expressionless face, but Nite looks somewhat guilty.

They had been strongly influenced by Lady Tet who appeared in this world recently, went berserk, and attacked us. After that, they fainted and lost consciousness, but they have finally woken up.

They only vaguely remember their berserk state, but the memory of attacking us remains, and both of them wish to destroy themselves.

Their defenses are the strongest against both magic and physical attacks, making it impossible for them to commit suicide. The only way to kill them is with my magic, Boost Ancient Purification Flame, or the Boost World Activation used recently.

Of course, I refused.

Even though they still seemed unsatisfied, it was decided that, following Millie's suggestion, by embedding machinery into their bodies and making them half-cyborgs, they could maintain their self-awareness like Shina No. 3, thus temporarily resolving their issues.

"Master, I think the only way to apologize for what happened back then is for you to play with my body. What do you think?"

"Are you kidding me! Don't push your chest against me. Go get the milk quickly."

"What kind of milk? ... Can I produce it?"

"It's obviously Suji's milk. There's no way you can produce it."

While complaining, I felt a bit guilty watching Nite go to get Suji's milk. She's not saying that to atone or to really seduce me; she's just trying to act as normal as possible, and I understand that much.

I carried the omelets with Haru and Pione and arranged them on the table outside.

Only Millie was sitting there, quietly reading a book. She noticed me and turned her gaze towards me.

"Millie, where are Norn and Carol?"

"They went to see the chicks. The black ones."

My World is currently experiencing the first baby boom.

Calves and chicks have been born.

Especially Suji, who had a difficult labor, and if Norn hadn't been able to join us in My World that day, it would have been quite serious.

She has a friend who is a rancher and has helped with cattle births several times.

"… I see."

With the homunculi issue, I haven't been able to talk much with Millie.

However, sitting here, I remember the time when it was just the two of us at the wide dining table in the family apartment.

I don't think I want to go back to that now, but at the time, it was a daily scene I didn't want to lose.

And if I say I don't want to lose it, I don't want to lose the current daily life either.

Taking a step forward means that this daily life might be destroyed, but I thought I had to move forward.

"Millie, tell me about the Demon God. And—how to save this world."

I feel embarrassed thinking that I have to learn everything from my sister.

But I have to move forward.

I'm sorry, but it seems the release date for Volume 13 will be delayed more than I thought, and the update speed will also slow down to once a week.
