Author's POV

After the two incarnations left, darkness returned to the hall. Persephone remained alone, staring at the rest of the party before opening her mouth.

[Clean up. It doesn't taste good]

A hand appeared in the darkness and quickly took the plate. Persephone watched as the food entered the trash can. Sword Master, SSS tier Hunter, 10th Circle Mage.

She was tired of this delicious taste. Then a voice came from the darkness.

[Persephone. Why do you do that?]

It was like the space itself was talking.

[Oh, my shy husband finally spoke]

[I asked why]

[Hades, you want this]

[I never said that]

Persephone stared into the darkness.

[You rarely like incarnations. I thought you especially liked that kid. Am I mistaken?]

[Why do you think so?]

[That's because you didn't kill him when he entered the Underworld. Even that boy who entered illegally earlier, you could have killed him but you didn't]

The darkness was silent for a moment.

[You are envious that Zeus had Hercules. This time, I read your mind a bit]

Persephone stared at her hands for a moment before clenching them into fists.

[Honestly, it was amazing. There were some constellations that I couldn't afford to go against. They are all chasing after one incarnation...]

A screen appeared in the darkness. However, the channel's signal was unstable and the video didn't appear immediately. The darkness gazed at the screen and opened its mouth.

[There will soon be signs of the later days]

The later days, Persephone listened to these words and opened her mouth in a mixture of distrust, doubt, and anxiety.

[...Will the later days really come?]

[Perhaps]

[You will still be with me at that time right?]

Hades didn't answer. The warm darkness just carefully wrapped around her symbolic body. Persephone felt the darkness and said.

[I'm so excited to see what story that kid will show me. By the way the incarnation of the three companions is cute too]

Her eyes watched as Kim Dokja and Park Eunhae moved through the darkness with Park Eunhae's hand holding Kim Dokja's coat sleeve to leave the Underworld. The two of them moved forward without looking back.

Persephone laughed lightly, their closeness made her feel nostalgic. She recalled the conversation between herself and Park Eunhae a few moments ago.

[That kid, I feel sorry for him... The events he will go through in the future will really make him even more vulnerable]

[The constellations following him will help. I'm sure, especially the three of them]

They were guided by the judge towards the exit of the Underworld. The exact location is unknown as they were wearing special blindfolds. Park Eunhae's hand gripped Kim Dokja's coat sleeve just in case he didn't leave him.
