Agung leaned back against the kitchen counter, crossing his arms as he watched the massive family dive into the *Bubur Ayam*. Despite the lack of sleep, his mind was sharp, cataloging the names of his heirs like a grand ledger of the future.
"I've got them all down," Agung said, his voice carrying a mix of pride and lingering disbelief. "The sons: Aoi, Natsu, Schwartz, Shiro, and Kuro. And the daughters... well, it's quite the pantheon. Hime, Yuki, Freya, Hestia, Hera, Weiss, Kureha, Akari, Hikari, Meyrin and Meylin."
He glanced over at the mothers' table, pausing at the Ohara and Tsushima representatives. "Yohane and Ai, your naming sense is truly on another level—'Black,' 'White,' and 'White' again? And Mari... Freya, Hestia, and Hera? You really went all in on the goddesses of family and hearth, didn't you? No pressure for me at all, I see."

Agung let out a long sigh, looking out toward the Shizuoka coastline. The reality of the "glitch" and the merged timelines had settled.
"I've made a decision," he announced, his voice steadying the room. "We aren't going to Pekalongan. Honestly, I don't know if the Pekalongan of this world matches the one from my old life, and I'm not willing to gamble with sixteen children and twenty-one queens. We're staying here in **Numazu**."
He looked at Mari and Dia. "I still have the Ohara Water Park to build, gardens that require... constant irrigation, and an empire to manage. This estate, this coastline—this is the center of the Overworld now. We'll turn this sanctuary into the most secure and prosperous hub on the planet."
Mari clapped her hands together, a mischievous glint returning to her eyes. "Ufufu! A wise choice, King! Why settle for a city when you have a whole coastline to reshape? And since you're staying... does that mean the 'Water Park' construction starts after breakfast? Or are you going straight to the 'irrigation' rotation?"
Agung looked at the empty bowls of *Bubur Ayam* and the sixteen happy children. The "stupidity" of his situation was still there, but as he stood in his own home, surrounded by the legends of three generations, the weight felt lighter.
"Construction starts at noon," Agung replied, rolling his neck until it popped. "But first, I think I need one more cup of coffee. Because if I'm staying in Numazu, I need to be ready for the fact that every single one of you is going to hold me to that 24-hour promise."
