My Life in the Multiverse
28 Comfort the Hero

While Yuki was preparing her dinner, Emilia began to explain to him how she got here...

"After we were attacked, both Maou and I decided to escape immediately because we did not want to waste the rest of the mana we had because we were unable to recover it in this world. Not to mention the possibility of getting innocent people involved in our fight. After all, the destructive power of a simple magic projectile was the same as a hand grenade in this world..."

Emilia tried to use the weapon analogy of this world to explain to Yuki who did not know much about magic how dangerous it was.

Yuki found everything she had said so far to be logical, but she suddenly frowned because she still did not say why she ended up here so she directly asked him "But this doesn't explain why you're here…"

Emilia's face suddenly reddened in embarrassment before she muttered in a low voice, "I, I had no money to return to my apartment and ended up following Maou here and would ask them. to let me stay the night with them ... "

Then, Emilia's embarrassment reached its peak as she said in an almost inaudible voice, "But then I remembered that you also live here, too, so I decided to ask this favor of you ..."

Asking a man she knew only today to stay overnight with her ... Emilia was not a dense woman and she knew what this meant, but this was the only option she had because she did not want to go to those two despicable demons ...

"Oh, is that all? Of course, you can spend the night here, and you don't have to be weird about it" At this point, Yuki turned around and smiled at him "After all, Yuki, you saved my life and I really owe you a lot for that"

Seeing how friendly she was, Emilia's mood suddenly changed for the better and she couldn't help but think 'Thank God I met Yuki, otherwise I could end up with those two stupid demons...'

"Thank you," said Emilia who Yuki responded with a smile as she refocused on her food before she suddenly recalled something and asked, "By the way, Emilia-san, how do people from your world learn magic?"

This question bothered Yuki a lot because he wanted to obtain mana to at least be able to bring out his Dark shield skill but he did not know where to start.

Meanwhile, thinking that she was just curious because magic was a miracle for the inhabitants of this world who depended on science and technology, Emilia began to explain to her, "Actually magic exists in all living things, and that is, magic is a kind of magic, but most remain dormant, and when they interact with a place that contains mana like my world Ente Isla, they will wake it up and they will gain the ability to absorb mana, but that's only part of it.

Some people with a strong affinity towards magic would automatically start attracting mana, and once they gathered enough, they would form a magic core, he said, which is the most important aspect of using magic as it serves as a reservoir for mana and the stronger this magic core is, the stronger the magic you can use. These are the basics about magic, mana, and magic core"

Hearing him talk about how magic is dormant inside most people, Yuki can't help but remember the first gift of his impossible chain mission 'Magic awakening'. 'Don't say... From his explanation, it seems that the person who awakened his magic gained the ability to attract mana... Could it be that this Magic awakening gift could give me the same benefits?'

Wanting to clear up her doubts, Yuki immediately asked Emilia as she sat in front of her ready to start eating her food "You said those with high affinity would naturally draw mana until they formed a magic core, but what about those who could not do so? it's automatic..”

Emilia saw Yuki begin to devour her food like a starving monster before she replied, "Generating your magic only makes your body capable of absorbing mana, but if you don't have a strong affinity towards it, then you will have a strong affinity towards it, it will make the mana control in the air pull towards you hard. Most people start by trying to feel it first. They will achieve this by extensive meditation in the rich places where. Then they begin an intensive physical exercise that will deplete the body creating a void where it will be drawn to fill. They would start collecting it at one point inside the lower abdomen until they created the magic nucleus"

'I wonder how that magic awakening will affect me in this world without magic ..' thought Yuki feeling enlightened by his explanation before he said, "That's right, that's right, you said you didn't want to waste which backup you were .. but why didn't your attacker have the same problem?". Of course, Yuki knows why, but he wants to hint at her that there might be a way to recover her even in this world without magic…

Emilia suddenly frowned when she heard this question because she also did not understand how it might be "Once, there might be something I missed ..."

'Get her a clue miss, Cih let's try something else..' "Emilia-san, are you really half an angel like the prophecy said?" yuki asked with a curious look on her face

Emilia suddenly had a sour expression on her face when she remembered how she was separated from her father when she was a child just for the same reason ... So, she finally replied with a forced smile "Yes, me"

Emilia was surprised at how cute Yuki was but she kept answering, "Yes, I have a po-" but then she suddenly stopped when she realized something... 'Wait, I believe an angel can turn a belief into a holy power, but I can't afford to do this because I'm only half an angel, the demons had a similar way and they used it to recover their magic... Did this child deliberately bring me to this conclusion?'

Emilia inevitably saw a curious look in Yuki's eyes and she didn't know if she was hiding something or not, but Yuki immediately realized it so she thought with a satisfied smile 'The prostitute didn't even think to look around. My poker face, the only one more fake than my current face was the bastard smile next door when she said she only had one bowl…'

"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly stop talking?" Yuki asked while putting on a worried look...

"NN-it's okay" Immediately Emilia replied before she said, "I'm just thinking about a few things .. Let's talk about something else"

'It looks like I reached my goal, after all he will find this but at least now he won't let his bodyguard' Yuki thought before he said, "Sure, mmm, mmm, whether you enjoy your time in this world so far, or not. You want to go back to Ente Isla?"

Emilia was suddenly confused by this question because her only desire and mission in life was to get rid of the demon lord so she never really thought of enjoying her time, unlike the two demons who rely on each other. In this world, he is alone.."I am not, I only came here to get rid of the demon lord Satan and I will leave this world after this is over…"

Hearing her response, Yuki could only look out the window while thinking 'uh, how much I hate the existence of the heroes and the sacrifices they had to make...'

Then Yuki continued to exchange small talk with Emilia before she washed her 'new' dishes' and insisted on giving her a futon to sleep on while she prepared a bed of clothes that reminded her of the first day she spent time in this world …

"Once again thank you." said Emilia feeling very grateful for Yuki's treatment that made her feel safe and accepted, even though she still felt like she was losing her purpose in this world. Especially since the more he interacted with the Maou, the more he found out how harmless he was that kept him from losing the game…

After the two of them lay on the bed, Yuki somehow knew that she was still awake and she could not help but say, "Are you still awake?"

Emilia was surprised by this question but she answered simply "yes"

Yuki thought for a moment before she said, "There is a saying that I like, it was told to me by the person I respect the most. The world owes you nothing. It was here long ago 'but you Hero Emilia rightly say I owe the world.So, stop worrying about the world, and start worrying about yourself, you sacrifice yourself a lot selflessly, and now you deserve to seek your own happiness.Good night I'm a hero"

Emilia did not respond with words, but her tearful eyes were the best way to tell how she felt at the moment as she said inside her head, "Thank you ..."

******

The next morning, Yuki wakes up early, there is no sudden cliche of finding Emilia lying on it but she knows they are becoming closer after what happened yesterday ... So, seeing that he was still sleeping, he started preparing breakfast for the two of them, and after he finished, he woke him up

"Hei Emilia woke up, breakfast is ready" Yuki said as she gently pushed Emilia to wake her up.

"WOOING, what time is it?" Emilia said as she began to stretch her body lazily while thinking 'when was the last time I slept well?' this surprised him greatly as he felt so comfortable that he barely wanted to get up…

"Now at 7 am and breakfast is ready, take a shower and let's eat together" Yuki said with a smile that made Emilia daze for a moment while thinking 'The good move is to wake up like this every morning…' but he then understood what this meant to embarrass him so he said "O-okay" and immediately ran to the bathroom…

'Why he's acting so weird...' Yuki was surprised but she decided to ignore him because her appearance taught her that one could have all sorts of reactions on her face, he started thinking about what he should do today…
