Chapter 525: Loving Words

["Of course!"]

["I love you, Lilith. I’ll do everything I can to let you feel my love and make you happy, even if it causes the unhappiness of others. So, no need to hold back, for I definitely won’t!"]

[You replied to Lilith resolutely, without hesitation.]

[You knew that Lilith already knew the answer to her question. She wasn’t testing you in any way.]

[Rather, Lilith loved professing her love to you, and loved it even more when you responded to her and loved her back.]

[It wasn’t an unusual occurrence for the two of you to whisper loving words to each other.]

[Oftentimes, it was Lilith who took the initiative to do so, but you also would catch her off-guard and love her back. Despite this, Lilith never got bored and would always spare the time to know that she loved you dearly, both in words and actions.]

[What can you say? Lilith was just that lovely.]

[Undoubtedly, Lilith loved your wholehearted reply. A beautiful smile adorned her face as she enjoyed the time she spent with you.]

[Although from your current vision, you couldn’t see Lilith’s face and couldn’t see her smile, it wasn’t an issue due to being able to see it with All Seeing Eyes.]

[An advanced application of XX-rank All Seeing Eyes wasn’t just to see through anything, but also from all visual perspectives. Due to this, you could cast your gaze onto Lilith and look at her face, despite your eyes being unable to directly gaze at her.]

[Moreover, as a holder of the XX-rank All Seeing Eyes, Lilith could likewise do the same and even feel your gaze.]

[Feeling you looking at her, only having her in your eyes, Lilith responded. "I love you too, hubby!"]

["If it’s for your sake, I’ll do everything I can to let you achieve your goals!"]

[As the two of you professed your love to one another like newlyweds, one thing led to another, until the two of you dealt with it on the bed.]

[It all started with Lilith taking the initiative to kiss you, and when the two of you took it a step further, it eventually led to making love with each other.]

[The two of you had only stopped and finished two days later in the real world, due to Paul calling your name outside and wanting to have an audience with you.]

[However, it actually didn’t affect Lilith and your lovemaking, since the two of you even used XX-rank Future Diary just to determine when that guy would come looking and used it as a deadline.]

[Due to this, the two of you weren’t caught off-guard and interrupted abruptly.]

[Although it was only two days in the outside world, the time spent by you and Lilith inside the ship was far more than that, which was the reason why Lilith was left satisfied.]

[Knowing that you have to meet Paul now for the sake of your goal, Lilith didn’t refuse and wholeheartedly supported you.]

[She knew that you were goal-oriented and ambitious. But for her, it wasn’t a downside.]

[After all, achieving great power as your goal was mostly just to secure and protect yourself and the ones you love from unforeseen danger, which Lilith understood all too well.]

[Before you left the ship, Lilith kissed your cheek while seeing you off.]

["Take care, hubby."]

[Faced with Lilith’s care, you smiled and gave your instructions before you left the ship. "I will, Lilith. When I’m at work, you can use the resources I’ve left you to increase your Light Bearer rank."]

["Take advantage of the time dilation inside the ship and strive to reach Blazing Sun rank."]

[After bidding farewell to Lilith, you left the Light Bearer Ship. You weren’t worried about her safety, since her true power even exceeded the Light Bearer Ship’s grade.]

[Those who coveted the ship and had designs on it would be killed by the attack system installed on the ship. If it wasn’t enough, they’d despairingly discover that Lilith’s true power far exceeded the value of the ship.]

[Moreover, you had handed full authority to Lilith, and she could control and drive the ship even when you were away. The light energy you’ve stored in the ship was more than enough to maintain months’ worth of operation of the ship even without your input.]

[After leaving the ship, you met Paul, who was standing in mid-air outside. This guy sure knew how to act cool, since unlike the previous time, the ship was literally docked on the ground and not high up.]

[In other words, he could have called you out while standing on the ground, yet he chose to posture and stand in the air.]

[’I guess this is the quality of a City Guardian. If they don’t know how to posture and act confident, then it would be quite detrimental for those citizens who need a pillar of hope to rely on.’]

[’After all, even if they are losing, they must act like they are so tall that they can hold the falling sky. If even they gave up, then the city is pretty much doomed.’]

[You recalled that aside from a few exceptions, the City Guardian in each city in Terra was the strongest Light Bearer tasked to guard that city. Even the City Lord is mostly just someone assigned for city management, and they might not even be a strong Light Bearer.]

[This was due to Light Bearer powerhouses being busy with increasing their power, so most of them wouldn’t have the time to manage the city. Hence, the Light Bearer Association implemented a city system where the roles for city management and protection would be separated into two.]

[The fact that the cities of Terra had withstood centuries of invasion meant that this method was nearly perfect.]

[Due to this, Paul was the strongest Light Bearer in the city. At least, he was the strongest on the surface, excluding those who were hiding their power or had paid a visit and came from another city.]

[Looking at Paul, you asked, "How did it go? What’s the Light Bearer Association’s response?"]
