“Ladies and jets, welcome back to the Mini Theater. I’m Moonless.”
“Enmmm~ how should I put it… lately that Creator guy’s been messing around nonstop, goofing off everywhere.”
“And on top of that, he never really polished this world to begin with. To make up for his earlier negligence, that Creator guy’s planning to start making all kinds of side stories and sequels related to the main plot once the main story ends.”
“Of course, they’ll be free.”
“Alright, I won’t ramble. We’ve got a lot of guests these days, so let’s invite today’s guests out first.”
“Let’s welcome today’s guests, Tsukihime and Lolo.”
Moonless stood properly in the ring, posture straight, expression calm and refined.
“Hello, everyone. I’m Tsukihime. My full name is Toria Darker. Sorry to intrude on you all today.”
“Nice to meet you. My name is Emilia Zscheuter.”
Tsukihime and Lolo both bowed politely. Right after she finished introducing herself, Lolo ran straight over to Moonless and hugged him, like a child clinging to her dad and acting spoiled.
Moonless: “Tsukihime, this isn’t your first time here, right?”
Tsukihime: “Mm, last time Mother was the host. Today it’s Father.”
“In that case, let’s jump straight into the topic.”
Once Moonless, Lolo, and Tsukihime sat down in their seats, today’s discussion officially began.
Moonless: “Our first topic today is about recent events. Do either of you have anything you want to ask? Or any thoughts you want to share?”
Tsukihime: “I don’t have any questions, but I do have some thoughts. What about you, Sis?”
Lolo: “I’m fine with anything.”
Moonless: “Hehe~ today’s topic is ‘The Battles Between Worlds—The Most Lethal Enemy.’”
Tsukihime: “I see. Battles between worlds I can understand. But is there some hidden meaning behind ‘the most lethal enemy’?”
Moonless: “Yeah. We’ll explain it bit by bit in a moment. Of course, for those of you who aren’t caught up to this point, this’ll be a spoiler. That’s something the Creator requested, so please bear with it.”
Tsukihime: “I’ve noticed a problem.”
Moonless: “Hm? Go ahead.”
Lolo raised her little hand. “Let me ask! Let me ask!”
Moonless: “Alright then, Lolo, you go first.”
Lolo asked curiously, “Why did Dad tell Mom you’d get married after the battle ended back then?”
Moonless thought for a moment. “That’s because we’d already promised each other beforehand.”
Lolo asked again, “Then Dad, do you love Mom? Compared to Mom, do you love me?”
Moonless smiled slightly. “I love you both. She’s the one I love, and you’re our daughter from the future. Of course we love you too.”
Tsukihime showed a hint of a smile. “Are you satisfied now, Sis?”
Lolo nodded happily. “Mhm.”
Moonless: “Your turn, Tsukihime. What’s your question?”
Tsukihime: “A lot of people have probably been guessing at the answer to this one. But what the answer actually is—I’m really curious.”
Moonless: “Oh? You want to ask about the final enemy, the last big boss, right?”
Tsukihime: “Yeah. I’m guessing some people think that final boss is you, Father. Or rather, the future you.”
Moonless: “As for that question, I’ll answer it later. You’ve probably more or less guessed today’s main theme anyway.”
“As the plot progressed in the game The Extradimensional World, the final enemies—the Unknown Race, the Void—made their appearance.”
“But in the main story, because the plot developed very differently from the game, there were huge changes. First of all, because I showed up, the mentor for the Priest class disappeared. That one variable made the later story diverge from the in‑game storyline, even if only a little at first.”
“In the game, the war with the demon race lasted for several years. I remember that very clearly. Back when I was playing The Extradimensional World, the first version was the Demon War. Things were insanely intense back then—tens of thousands of players fighting demonkind in a single zone.”
“The second version, after the war ended, was the World Tournament. Then the third version was the storyline of the Unknown Race, the Void.”
“However, in the main story, because of the massive changes early on, the Void’s plot in the later stages ended up completely different from the game’s.”
“All of that is just the setup. Our first question today is about the members of the Ten Rings.”
Moonless flipped the script in his hand over to the next page.
Tsukihime asked, “Father, after hearing that, I’m really curious—just how strong is each of the Ten Rings?”
Lolo was just as curious. “Yeah, I wanna know too.”
Moonless: “Well, we never did a strict head‑to‑head comparison back then. But we can judge based on the results of several tournaments in the game’s second version.”
Lolo: “Did you ever get the championship, Dad?”
Moonless smiled. “I was lucky enough to win it once.”
Moonless: “According to the data the Creator provided, if you line up the overall combat power of the Ten Rings, ranked tenth is the Summoner Wenwen, then the Knight Uncle, and the mechanic Woof Meow.”
Tsukihime: “Then who’s first?”
Lolo: “Is it Dad?”
Moonless gave a wry smile. “First place isn’t me. According to the data, the one with the highest combat power is Feifei. I’m in second place, and there’s a gap of more than four thousand between us.”
Tsukihime asked, “You mean the one whose true identity was revealed at the end, and who one‑shot Merlin and Sky?”
Moonless: “Yeah. In terms of gear, skills, and abilities, Feifei is perfection itself. And she once took the world championship three times in a row.”
Tsukihime: “Oh right, Father—later on, will you really fight nine people alone?”
Moonless: “Maybe. As long as nothing unexpected happens.”
Tsukihime: “For that part of the story, lots of people are asking questions. They’re all wondering if this is still an invincible‑MC story.”
Moonless: “It is invincible‑MC, that’s right.”
Lolo: “Then why does Dad get bullied so badly he can’t even fight back, and even gets killed twice?”
Moonless: “You could probably sum that up in eight characters: ‘mind collapsed, plot demanded it.’”
Tsukihime: “And also, Father, in that arc everyone dies except you. Is there even anything worth watching after that? I feel like I can already hear a whole crate of razor blades jingling in the distance.”
Moonless: “That’s not on me. I’m just the protagonist in the story, not the Creator. Besides, the Creator already said he’d make it up to everyone. He’s also decided on three possible endings for the main story. The Bad End route won’t appear. It’ll be one of the two Happy Ends: either a pure romance ending or a harem ending. Even though a harem is every man’s dream—cough, cough, pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Tsukihime: “I understand, Father.”
Moonless: “Let’s stop the topic here. We’ll answer the last question, then wrap up.”
Moonless: “About the final big boss: on the surface, ‘the most lethal enemy’ refers to the members of the Ten Rings. But there’s only one true big boss. So who is the big boss really? Why would the members of the Ten Rings obey the big boss and target me? Some of you have probably already guessed the answer. I won’t spell it out here, or the Creator will get beaten to death.”
Moonless: “That’s it for today’s Mini Theater. And thanks again to our guests, Tsukihime and Lolo. Thanks for watching, everyone.”
