On the Mediterranean Sea.

"Now I am the Great Captain of The Azure Longsword." Mia said seriously.

"Uh-huh, can I have my daughter back?" Aske asked.

"I have hundreds of people under me, and a fleet of seven or eight ships." Mia continued to brag proudly.

"That's impressive. Can I have my daughter back?"

"We roam the Mediterranean unchallenged, even the Church Court's fleet is no match for us." Mia patted her flat chest.

"And my daughter?"

"Your daughter is already my sister." Mia said.

Aske: ...........

"The familial relationships are getting a bit tangled." Aske reminded her, "If I'm her father and you're her sister, then what does that make us?"

"Uh?" Mia started counting with her fingers, seriously thinking it over.

Then she shivered abruptly: "No, I'll just be her aunt instead."

"Why do you have to be related to my daughter?" Aske said, speechless.

"Because..." Mia hadn't finished speaking when little Lilith already came running up from below the deck.

"Daddy, daddy!" she giggled, climbing onto Aske's lap and then clinging to his neck to swing.

Mia: !!!

Images buried deep in her memory suddenly surfaced. She vaguely remembered back in the days of The Azure Longsword, she would also cling to Aske's neck like this, swinging coyly.

"You can't do that." So Mia immediately felt an unpleasantness akin to being NTR'd, forcibly taking little Lilith down, "Aske's neck could break."

Little Lilith struggled in Mia's arms, her tiny arms and legs unable to twist free, only able to plead with a crying face:

"Mia, big sis..."

"Call me 'auntie'!" Mia demanded.

"Mia, big sis!" little Lilith laughed again.

If it were Medea here, she definitely wouldn't be fooled by this little Enchanting Demon. But Mia, simple-minded as she is, quickly played along with her again.

"Mia still hasn't changed a bit." Miel sighed as she stood by.

"You've changed a lot though." Aske said.

"Actually, I've changed a long time ago, it's just that you never noticed." Miel smoothed down her hair ruffled by the sea breeze.

Seeing them murmuring over there, little Lilith's eyes turned, and she suddenly leaned in to whisper in Mia's ear:

"Mia, big sis, you like daddy too, right?"

"Wha-what are you saying!" Mia hurriedly denied, "You're too young, what do you know about liking someone? Don't randomly guess about grown-up matters!"

Seeing her face turn red with embarrassment, little Lilith immediately understood and intentionally said:

"Is that so? That's good then. I noticed Aunt Miel seems to really like daddy. Well, since you, Mia, big sis, aren't interested in daddy, I don't have to worry about you two falling out."

Mia: ...........

Okay, Miel indeed has liked the Squad Leader for a long time, which Mia has known for a while.

But still, she's my best, best friend after all...

"Wait a minute!" Mia suddenly realized, "Why is Miel 'aunt' and I'm the 'big sis'? We're about the same age!"

"Because Aunt Miel will marry daddy someday, but Mia, big sis, won't, right?" little Lilith said with a sly smile, mischievously grabbing Mia's hand, "Then you can be daddy's goddaughter and we can really be sisters."

Mia immediately got angry: "No way! That, that would make Miel my godmom!"

Huh, this little one's not entirely dense.

Thinking so, little Lilith naturally laughed: "Of course! You and daddy's ages are a generation apart. Technically, you and Miel can both be my elder sisters, but since Miel wants to marry daddy, she has to upgrade from sister to aunt!"

"That can't be!" Mia immediately protested, as if she'd found an excuse, "I don't want to be Miel's goddaughter, I want to be the aunt!"

"So, do you want to marry daddy too?" little Lilith asked immediately.

Mia: ...........

Seeing her conflicted expression, little Lilith intentionally said:

"Mia, big sis, it's okay. When it comes to marriage, it's better to find someone you love. If you don't really like daddy, there's no need to compromise yourself for a title."

Prodded like this, Mia finally couldn't hold it in, mumbling:

"Actually, I don't even know if I like him. It's just...when I'm with the Squad Leader I feel at ease, and when he's not there, I miss him terribly, even to the point it hurts. Miel says this is probably the seed of love, but I can't be sure. I really don't know..."

"That's easy to confirm." little Lilith said with a smile, "Love always has the desire for possession. Imagine if Aunt Miel and daddy get married, and the three of you still stay together. It seems like nothing changes, you still eat and travel together."

"It's just that during meals, Aunt Miel still leaves the good food for you, but she'll feed daddy too. During trips, at beautiful spots she'll remind daddy, and they'll take pretty pictures together, but in the pictures, it's always Miel snuggling with daddy. Wouldn't that feel uncomfortable..."

"Stop it!" Imagining the scene, Mia couldn't help but hold her head and scream. Just picturing it was...

Are you a Devil, little sister?!!

"I can't accept this!" She clung to little Lilith, tears almost falling, wailing, "I want the Squad Leader to feed me too! While taking pictures, hug me, let me swing from his neck too!!!"

Aske in the distance: ???

Wait, putting aside the first two ideas, with your adult weight now, if you swing from my neck, I might suffocate! My neck bones might break!

"Yes." little Lilith smiled, satisfied, "Mia, Auntie, it seems you really do like daddy. But, Aunt Miel likes daddy too, so I guess you'll have to compete with each other after all."

"Are you saying!" Mia immediately tensed up, "Miel will take the Squad Leader away? Take him from me?"

"There's always that possibility." little Lilith sowed discord subtly, "Of course, maybe she's willing to share him with you. But no matter what the case, I think if you rush to confirm things with daddy before Aunt Miel realizes, locking down the aunt status, you surely won't regret it."

"Makes sense!" Mia's eyes lit up, then hesitated, "But, what if the Squad Leader doesn't like me?"

"Well, feelings can develop over time." little Lilith said nonchalantly, "If it doesn't work, just drag daddy to a quiet corner, push him down, and have a kid with him. He'll have to accept it! That's what my mom did."

Mia seemed to ponder.

Hey, that makes sense, right? If Medea did it, why can't I? Am I a lesser woman than Medea?

So she quickly glanced at Aske, catching eyes with Miel beside him.

Miel looked back calmly at her.

In an instant, they completed eye contact, asserting their claim and declaring war over Aske.

Mia suddenly vanished, reappearing behind Aske.

However, by the time she reappeared, Aske and Miel had already disappeared, using the same Ripple Sword.

Mia: !!!

Bringing in a parallel world's version of me to deal with me!

Before Aske could react, he was suddenly teleported from the ship to the sea, falling through a black hole, landing in a pile of leaves in the Lucitania Great Forest.

Miel grabbed Aske's hand, pulling him up from the ground.

Standing up, still somewhat confused and bewildered, he saw the half-elf girl tightly clutch his hand, earnestly and tenderly saying:

"Aske, I've finally waited for this moment... Let me tell you, I've liked you for a long, long time."

"Will you marry me?"

Aske: ???

Just as Miel finished her words, Mia jumped out from the black hole, angrily shouting at Miel:

"Hand over the Squad Leader, Miel!"
