Magically Miraculous

Spoilers for much of Mahou Tsukai Precure within, particularly episodes 49 and 50!

Working title: Gigastacy Miracle

Ha! Thought you were finally rid of me, did you? 

Those of you who are familiar with Mahou Tsukai Precure may take issue with my spelling her name Liko instead of Riko. Given the way Japanese handles R vs L sounds, it could theoretically be either one. You're probably aware Riko is a common and established Japanese name, while Liko, uh... isn't. Despite that, the official spelling indeed uses an L.

Her parents are Lilia and Lian, and her older sister is Liz--all L names; and as stated in the caption, the Magic World doesn't use surnames. So it's very possible the alliterative names are a way of indicating familial ties. Moreover, Hepburn romanization of Japanese (as in real life, but also plausibly in the No-Magic World in the show) use strictly R and never L, suggesting Riko is a more normal Japanese name, as opposed to Liko. Granted, her name isn't written in katakana like Ruru Amour's, so my theory that the deviated spelling is meant to indicate foreign-ness may not hold as much water as it does for Ruru, but still.

After Ha-chan, Liko, and I defeated Deusmast, the reality set in that doing so meant we'd be separated. I ultimately made peace with the idea and moved on. I was focusing on my university studies when Liko returned, just as out of the blue as when I first met her!

The funny thing about magic is that it's never really gone. Separation, time, and even the very essence of chaos itself can try all they want to hold it down, but it'll always come back--stronger than before, too.

Case in point, look at me now! It's been twenty years since Liko and I first met, and my magic has grown exponentially in that time! Honestly, I don't even know what the full extent of my power is--I can imagine something, literally anything, and it simply happens! It's the same for Liko and Ha-chan too: Liko has studied it extensively and even she can't make out any sort of upper limit, and Ha-chan isn't even concerned about it, preferring to just use her boundless power to help people and have fun! We raised her well~

Before her sacrifice, Mother RaPaPa was the most powerful being known to exist. Deusmast was the only one (besides us) to come close. Now, Ha-chan, Liko, and I are countless orders of magnitude more powerful than either of them. Liko started measuring our power in terms of RaPaPa, actually--at last report, we've reached 300 quinvigintillion times! Let me tell you, even just existing with that much power surging through your very essence is... ha, I can't even describe it to you, really. There's no frame of reference in your mind to adequately convey the level of divine ecstasy, the unceasing pure joy.... Mortal language simply isn't designed for this sort of thing. Well, believe me when I say it feels absolutely amazing--even if that is a dramatic understatement~

With the power to do literally whatever we want without limit, we re-merged the Magic and No-Magic Worlds together again, introducing half of the new world to magic. Things have changed significantly for everyone as a result, but it's been for the better. Magic has made insurmountable obstacles like climate change and pollution simple projects to complete in an afternoon! The world has entered a new golden age of prosperity thanks to us! Though that's not to say other threats haven't... hm, I was going to say "arisen", but do they even count as that if they're stopped by us as an afterthought, before the first step of their plans can even begin?

I popped the big question to Liko some years ago, after I had graduated from university. She of course said yes in a heartbeat, though funnily enough Ha-chan thought we were already married! They don't have surnames in the Magic World, so Liko's legal name is Liko Asahina now. Needless to say, I just love that~

I confess, I never really considered what it'd be like to basically rule the entire multiverse with my wife and daughter, but I wouldn't have it any other way~💗
