Chapter 223

A little more time passed.

I asked everyone to gather except Serena because I had something important to discuss.

"Okay? It's about Serena... I'm thinking about sending him to live in the lower world for a while."

"I disagree," replied Shizuko. "It's the same for everyone, isn't it?"

"Serena just turned 12, he's so young and helpless," Haruka added.

"Serena deserves better, can't we at least wait until he's 15?" added Sayo, with a tinge of concern. This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

"Serena-chan is still a child... please give him some more time," chimed in Misaki in a softer tone.

"What about Ceres? What do you think?" asked Haruka, trying to gauge everyone's opinion.

"I agree with Shizuko's opinion. We should keep him here for at least another year," replied someone with a motherly tone.

Same old doting mother...

"By the way, what about Marianne, Frey, and Cecilia?"

"Despite being just 12 years old, Serena's knowledge and abilities are far beyond those of other children... but there are many things he can't learn here, so we should let him go on a journey," replied Marianne with a practical tone.

"He's 12, and will become an adult in just three years... he needs to make friends of the opposite sex and start looking for a bride, so it's time for him to stand on his own two feet," added Frey, with a hint of urgency.

"That's true... if he doesn't experience 'love' and 'friendship', he won't be able to grow as a person. It's sad but it's time to let go... there are no women here besides her mother," replied Cecilia with a tinge of sadness.

"Well... If we don't do something, Serena won't be able to separate from us, so why not send him to the lower world? Instead of just abandoning him, we can entrust him to Mel-san, how about that?" I suggested.

"Serena, you are 12 years old now, so it's time for you to go on a journey and see the world. Besides, everyone here is my wife, and you will be an adult at 15 and join our ranks. You should meet various people and even find a partner to potentially become your spouse in the future."

Serena's eyes widened in surprise "That's what Zect-oniichan told me that there are many beautiful women down there and that it's time to start looking for a wife."

"I see. It's a sudden decision, but you will leave tomorrow. You don't have to worry because Mel will take care of you in the lower world. She is your siblings."

"Mel-san... she's Zect-oniichan's ex-wife, right? Okay..." Serena said, processing the new information.

"Well then..."

"I'll do my best to find wonderful wife like moms, don't worry ," Serena reassured me.

"You are my proud son. You will definitely succeed."

"Yes, I'll do my best to find a wonderful bride like moms ," Serena repeated, determination in his tone.

"Good luck."

After that, we spent our last moments together as a family, and then Serena began his journey.

"Don't worry... Serena is strong because he is a child of God... but if he ever faces a near-death situation, he will be transported here through the guidance of the underworld king Bauer, and I will use my goddess power to revive her ," Ishtas said, her voice filled with concern.

Ishtas...you are overprotective enough...

※ Finally, a new chapter begins.

The main character this time is Serena....
