"Today's earnings are... Huh?"

Lin Shuo's hands froze as he counted his Dennies. The large pot he used to cook noodles was moving.

The lid was suddenly knocked off. A soaking-wet little girl of about eight stood amid the leftover noodles and broth, blinking her green eyes. Her features looked uncannily like those of a certain little devil.

"Daddy! Are we closing up?"

Lin Shuo: "...Who are you? How did you get into the pot?"

"I'm Lin You!"

"I traveled back from the future! Though I don't know how I did it either~ Mommy is Ukinami Yuzuha! Surprised?"

"Surprised, my ass." Lin Shuo pressed a hand to his forehead. "Every part of my body except my face has been modified. How could I possibly have a kid? Besides, that scheming little brat Yuzuha-"

"Daddy's so cold!"

Ding! Available long-term mission detected: Take care of your 'daughter,' Lin You, until she returns home.

Lin Shuo: "..."

Note: Mission automatically accepted. Wishing you a 'happy family.'

"Take good care of me from now on, Dad~"

Lin Shuo, a former test subject and transmigrator who had chosen to leave Obsidian at nineteen and wanted nothing more than to sell ramen in peace, stared at the bratty little girl claiming to be his future daughter. Then he thought of Yuzuha, that red-haired girl who spent all day making up spooky stories to fool customers, and this damn system, which had come back from the dead only to drop a bombshell on him...

His peaceful daily life had officially gone down the drain.
