I'll Leave Kirin to You (4,000 Words; Please Subscribe) (Continued)
Kotoha Toudou's sudden question made Kirin tremble, and then a helpless smile appeared on her delicate face.
"Mom, you don't need to try to persuade me anymore!"
"I'm determined to rescue my father."
She thought her mother had something important to say! If she had known it was just this, she would have made an excuse and left.
Kotoha Toudou had told her the same thing many times before.
However, even though she knew very well that this was Kotoha Toudou's way of showing her affection.
But when it came to rescuing her father, she had made up her mind; no matter what, she was determined to fulfill her wish.
"I know, I know my daughter's personality best!"
"So if you were to advise me to give up, I would have already decided not to say anything!"
"Kirin, you have to do your best! Rescue Dad!"
Kotoha Toudou took Kirin's soft, tender little hand and stroked it a few times affectionately.
Kirin looked up at Kotoha Toudou with some surprise, then blushed and leaned on her mother's shoulder.
Despite her firm words, she was actually quite uncertain about the situation.
Because she knew herself very well, she had nothing to offer except for her swordsmanship.
He's not very bright, he's stupid and timid, and he can't do any housework.
She only possesses the power to help others when she wields a sword.
Her mother, who had always opposed her behavior, suddenly gave her affirmation and support, which made her feel a little more at ease.
"But Mom, do we need to say this now?"
"We've been getting tea and snacks for so long, it would be very impolite of us not to go back, Senior William!"
Kirin leaned on Kotoha Toudou's shoulder, her blush not yet fully faded, and spoke hesitantly.
"Kirin, what are your thoughts on William -kun?"
"Impressions?"
Kirin was stunned for a moment, her soft body stiffening abruptly.
Kotoha Toudou, who was holding her daughter's waist, felt the sudden change in her daughter's body, and the smile on her face instantly turned playful.
"Hmm, tell Mom about it!"
"You can't not answer! This is very important!"
Knowing that her daughter had an ostrich-like personality in some ways, Kotoha Toudou's words immediately stopped Kirin's attempt to pretend she hadn't heard.
"He must be a very powerful, yet gentle senior!"
Kirin spoke haltingly, and the rosy glow on her face was even more pronounced than before.
Seeing Kirin's reaction, Tou Kotoha Toudou nodded!
Of course, Kirin's current state doesn't mean she has any special feelings for William.
It's highly improbable that people who have only met once or twice could have any special feelings for each other.
Her current behavior is simply a result of a combination of factors.
First, she encountered someone who could suppress her, "Renkaku".
Secondly, this person is very gentle; when he touches my head, it feels just like my dad's!
Finally, this person was also very handsome. In Kirin's short twelve-year life, she had never seen such a handsome person before.
It was this coincidence, with all the elements coming together in just a few hours, that caused this twelve-year-old girl to feel a stirring of romantic feelings.
But that's where it ends. If you're thinking there's anything deeper, you're overthinking it.
"What do you think if I wanted William to take care of you during your time in Asterisk?"
That starting speed must be like having springs installed on a chair!
Kotoha Toudou sighed again. The Genestella was indeed vastly different from ordinary people in terms of physical fitness. In just a moment, her daughter, who was that big in her arms, was gone!
Their gazes turned towards the direction where Kirin had landed!
Her daughter's silvery hair was now completely standing on end, her plump thighs, encased in black stockings, trembled uncontrollably, and her smooth, fair skin had been completely replaced by a pinkish-red hue.
The steam emanating from his head seemed to have real heat, making the room temperature appear to rise several degrees.
"Mom~ Mom~ Mom, what are you saying?!"
Oh my! Oh my! This child is so shy!
At this moment, Kotoha Toudou was completely absorbed in teasing his daughter, just like he was looking at an interesting toy.
But there's nothing we can do about it!
Ultimately, the blame lies with Kirin, whose reaction at this moment is just too adorable!
That's right, it's all Kirin's fault!
"This is very important! Kirin, what do you think? Just tell me your honest feelings!"
Even when Kotoha Toudou said it, she felt that what she said was nonsense. Anyone who saw Kirin's reaction at this moment could tell that Kirin did not dislike William.
"What do you mean, how?! How could I possibly trouble Senior William like this!"
"I just don't want to bother people, I didn't say whether I'm annoying or not!"
Kotoha Toudou directly caught the grammatical error that Kirin herself hadn't even noticed.
However, she wasn't a particularly malicious mother, since her daughter had unconsciously expressed her attitude.
If she then pretends not to know and teases her shy daughter, it would be far too wicked of her.
"Whether it's troublesome or not, your aunt will take care of it!"
"Just don't object to this, and wait patiently!"
"That way, we can feel a little more at ease!"
