I'm Leaving Kirin in Your Hands
Perhaps it's time to get down to business! Yoshino Wagatsuma regained her serious and authoritative expression, first complimenting William before continuing.
"That's right, Kirin's wish is to win the Festas!"
"Then save her father, who was imprisoned for committing a crime while protecting her."
"Of course, this is also our whole family's wish!"
William showed no surprise, but simply gestured for Yoshino Wagatsuma to continue.
Yoshino Wagatsuma understood what William wanted her to say, so she went straight to the point.
Four years ago, Kirin went out to play with his father!
"But they ran into a gang of robbers, and in order to save Kirin who was being held hostage, Kirin's father accidentally killed one of the robbers."
Yoshino Wagatsuma spoke with obvious hatred; William could even hear her clenching her teeth.
"Aren't our opponents the Genestella?"
William frowned!
Kirin's father is definitely from the Genestella; he knows that without even asking.
Because Kirin's mother was just an ordinary person, the chances of both parents being ordinary people to give birth to someone as outstanding as Kirin from the Genestella are extremely low.
The problem is that if Kirin's father killed a Genestella member under these circumstances, he would at most have to pay compensation, and wouldn't go to jail for criminal offenses.
Unless Kirin's father killed an ordinary human being.
Only in this way is there any possibility of being convicted and detained for manslaughter!
After all, the Genestella has always been in a weak position in any context, and their human rights have long been restricted.
This situation becomes even more pronounced when the Genestella harms ordinary people; not only can they not claim it as legitimate self-defense, but they are often also considered to have acted excessively.
If the other party dies, even if they are the perpetrator, they will still face severe legal consequences.
This is one of the reasons why the Genestella prefers to live in Asterisk.
But if it were an ordinary person, even if Kirin was only eight years old, she should have no problem protecting herself!
The physical abilities of the Genestella are far beyond what ordinary people can match!
"This is also why Kirin has always felt so guilty!"
"She kept saying that if she hadn't been so scared that she couldn't move, her father wouldn't have needed to save her, and he wouldn't have been wrongfully imprisoned for killing someone!"
Yoshino Wagatsuma sighed and said.
"Yeah!"
William fell silent immediately!
That's right, so what if Kirin is from the Genestella!
Four years ago, she was just an eight-year-old child. No matter how strong her body was, it was normal for a child to be afraid to move when faced with something frightening.
"I temporarily took over as sect leader when Kirin's father was imprisoned!"
"Kirin has been practicing swordsmanship more and more diligently over the past few years, all in order to fulfill her wish and rescue her father, who still has decades of imprisonment to serve."
"Although I'm very happy that Kirin is working so hard, it means I can finally relinquish the responsibility of sect leader sooner."
"But she's in such a rush to participate in the Festas in Asterisk. If she loses again, I'm afraid she'll completely break down!"

No wonder, Kirin's situation is just like Ais is seeking revenge for the hatred in her heart.
Hatred and desire are the driving forces that propel them forward.
Only for this reason could a twelve-year-old girl possess such profound swordsmanship at such a young age.
Therefore, Kirin's current achievements cannot be attributed solely to her talent; they also include the hard work and dedication she has shed over the years.
"But why are you asking me to take care of her?"
"Why don't you just take care of Kirin in Asterisk yourselves? Besides, even if Kirin is a little shy, I think she can live on her own!"
William rested his arms on the table, his fingers interlaced, and gently propped his chin on them, quietly awaiting Yoshino Wagatsuma's explanation.
After all, this matter is quite unusual. Even if she wanted to ask someone for help but didn't have the time, Asterisk should have quite a few disciples of the Todo Style.
Why ask a stranger you've only met for less than two days for help?
"Okay, Mom, let's go home?"
Kirin had a small, hand-woven basket slung over her arm, neatly filled with various Japanese sweets.
These are all freshly baked daily by the chefs of the Toudou Family, and are usually placed on the dinner table as an after-dinner snack.
Like Kirin, Kotoha Toudou was carrying a small basket filled with snacks.
"No rush, your aunt has something she wants to discuss with William."
"Perfect timing! Mom also has something she wants to ask you, Kirin. Let's sit here for a while!"
Kotoha Toudou smiled, took the woven basket off her arm and placed it on the table, then pulled over two chairs and placed them side by side.
Although Kirin was still a little confused about the situation, as a good girl, she still obeyed her mother's words very much.
She obediently followed her mother's example, placing the basket on the table and then sitting quietly next to Kotoha Toudou.
"Kirin, are you really going to participate in the Festas?!"
