System vs Rebirth

"The situation has become stable. The fort might be half-destroyed, but the demons are almost wiped out. The Superior Demons have died and the remaining demons won't be able to stop those people.

"To think he manages to do it…" Kevin Stargaze looked at the fort with a smile.

Since Anna was the one inviting him to the hot springs in the first place, she accompanied him to this place to see the situation as well. She couldn't help but smirk, feeling a bit defeated.

She expected Noel to survive, but she never thought that Noel's plan stretched to this extent.

"As expected… I still can't be compared to him in this area. Even though I have grown a lot, he is also growing at the same pace." Anna made a frustrated grin. On the one hand, she felt excited to know there was someone who could keep up with her pace. On the other hand, she completely admitted her defeat.

Still, there was one thing that had been bothering her the entire time. She glanced at her father and asked, "Father… May I ask what kind of conversation you had with him? What kind of plan did he give you?"

Kevin looked at her for a moment before having a small smirk. "Hehe. Are you curious? Well, I don't mind telling you about it. To put it simply, I told him that if he wants to be my son-in-law, I won't say no."

"…" Anna blinked a few times as if she didn't believe what she had just heard. Soon, her face became a bit red and she hurriedly retorted. "What are you talking about? I have done all that to him. Even though the misunderstanding has been resolved, we can't go with that route…"

"Hahaha. It's true I told him that though." Kevin chuckled. "Anyway, I'm not going to do anything with your relationship. You have been plagued by your teacher's words in the past. But I don't see anything like that in your eyes now. So, I know that all relationships, whether it's a friend or lover in the future, come from your decision. All I have to do as your parent is to support you."

"…" Anna looked down, feeling a bit dejected. She thought she truly couldn't win against her father.
