"So, what is it?"
Max asked as he took a sip of the drink he had in his hand.
He was looking up in the sky, enjoying the view of the twinkling stars.
"I'll be going away."
Alex who was standing right beside him uttered those words as he looked up in the sky, just like Max.
He had a drink in his right hand while his left hand was on the railing of the balcony.
Right now, both Alex and Max were standing on the café's top-most floor balcony.
Alice, Ann, Lily, and Grace were inside, enjoying their time eating cakes and pastries created by Damien.
Oh, the dishes that Damien made were now better than before, and his fame had increased even more.
Now, just like Damien wanted to, he had perfected his dish.
Damien wanted to give 30% shares of his café to Alex, but Alex denied it.
'What would I do with those shares now?'
That's what he thought.
There was nothing he could do with those shares now.
He was planning on leaving this world soon, after all.
"Away?"
Max, who heard Alex's words questioned without looking away from the stars.
Looking at them twinkling somehow brought him peace.
The clear view of the sky made it look like the world was back in the old days. The time when the air was clearer than it used to be five years ago.
'Sigh....'
Inwardly he sighed.
The mana did bring the gates, but it made the world better.
At least for him, the world was better now.
The world that was headed toward destruction was now healthier than ever.
Yeah, it was still headed toward destruction since the gates kept appearing, but....
'With people like him here, the world is safe...'
Max looked at Alex.
"Far away, Max.
I won't be here, I'm going to another world."
Alex could tell that Max wasn't aware of what he meant by 'away', so he clarified.
His words finally made Max pause his movements.
Max's head which was turning to look toward the sky, snapped in Alex's direction.
"What did you say?"
Max frowned as he looked at Alex.
He didn't like the sound of what Alex had said. Enjoy new chapters from M V L
"Sigh...."
A long and tiered sigh escaped Max's lips.
He didn't have to be wiser to know what that smile of Alex meant.
He knew Alex for long enough to know what kind of person Alex was.
"What do you want me to do...?"
Max questioned with his shoulders slumped.
Even if he didn't like it, he knew that Alex was the only one in this world who could possibly have a way to save this world from its imminent destruction.
"Well, let's give you a power up...."
Alex muttered with a mysterious tone which clearly confused Max.
Max didn't know anything about Alex's abilities and store function, so he didn't know that Alex could help him power up.
So, he was perplexed by what Alex meant, but he was soon about to find out what Alex was saying.
..........................................
It was not just Alex who was making preparations for leaving this world, Luna, who had an entire organization under her also had to think of something about them.
So, she decided to hand over her leadership position to Maira, the girl who introduced her to the world of fan clubs.
"What do you mean, Ma'am?"
Maira was confused when she heard Luna's words.
"I meant what I said, I'm going down from the leader's position, and you will be taking over now."
Luna answered in a serious tone.
Maira, who was now sure that she hadn't heard it wrong the first time, now stood shocked on her spot.
Some time passed.
Luna didn't disturb Maira, and she let her digest the words, it was not until a minute or two had passed that Maira rushed toward Luna's table.
"Ma'am, did we do something wrong?!
Do you want to change something?!
Just say the word, we can change anything you don't like, ma'am!"
Maira hurriedly asked, her hands gripping the table as her eyes looked around in panic.
Maira knew that the organization was only surviving because of Luna, and if Luna were to step down, then their organization wouldn't survive.
This organization was Maira and Luna's secret dream. They wanted it to spread throughout the world, so Maira couldn't understand why Luna wanted to stop now!
As Maira was looking around in agitation trying to think of a reason, she heard Luna's voice.
"Maira."
A single word.
It was just her name, but Maira calmed down, and she looked up at Luna.
'Ah...'
For the first time, she saw Luna smiling gently.
Her eyes, for some reason started watering....
