Chapter 37
The little girl blinked her innocent big eyes. Seeing that Chuuya Nakahara's anger had subsided, she immediately ignored his words and took advantage of the situation. She hugged her father's leg and said obediently, "Daddy, are you tired? Let's go buy some ice cream and rest for a while."
"Xiao Luo doesn't have any money right now, so you buy it for me first. I'll buy you ice cream when I earn some, okay?"
The little girl had a whole repertoire of ways to coax people, and Zhongyuan Zhong gave her a look that was both amusing and exasperating. It was clear that the child really wanted ice cream.
"I'll buy it for you when we go out later. Don't you dare try to scam me again. Understand?"
"Yay!" the little girl cheered. "Little Luo wants three!"
Chuuya Nakahara paused, thinking of Kyusaku Yumeno and the others. He hesitated for a moment, then gently placed his hand on Xiaoluo's head and rubbed it. "Kusaku Yumeno and Alice won't be coming with us."
Alice is a humanoid ability user of Mori Ougai, so it's not convenient for Chuuya to take her home.
Yumeno Kyusaku, too, as an uncontrollable psychic ability user, will not be released.
"Oh, right. Kyusaku also wants to eat!" Xiaolu was reminded that there were still two mouths to feed, so she turned to look at Kyusaku and the others and kindly asked, "How many do you want to eat? Xiaolu can order takeout for you."
Good heavens, so none of them are in your three roots?
“…There’s only one for each person, and they’ll have someone deliver it.” Nakahara Chuuya adjusted the brim of his hat and said helplessly.
"But Daddy, there are many flavors of ice cream, and Xiaolu wants to eat her favorite one." The little girl began to protest, "Xiaolu needs to try them all to know which one is the best."
Doesn't Chuuya Nakahara understand this child's thoughts? Helplessly, he picked the child up and casually replied, "Then we'll eat tomorrow."
The uprising disbanded instantly, and the child, having received a promise for tomorrow, nodded happily, "Dad, it's a deal! If you forget, Xiaoluo will remind you tomorrow."
Amidst Chuuya's perfunctory response, Lingling remained silent.
Chuuya Nakahara hugged the little girl and prepared to leave. Normally, he might work overtime or go out drinking.
But today, a child has suddenly appeared and is going to live with him. I heard that the child needs a lot of supplies.
Although his subordinates had already said they had bought everything, Chuuya Nakahara still felt he should take one more look to be on the safe side.
He looked at Alice and Yumeno Kyusaku beside him with some hesitation.
"you……"
“Don’t worry, Chuuya,” Alice said with a smile, grabbing Yumeno Kyusaku beside her. “I’ll take Kyusaku back.”
Okay.
With no worries left behind, Chuuya Nakahara simply took Koro and left.
"Daddy, where is Kyusaku going?" Little Lo asked, looking at Kyusaku Yumeno, whose gloomy face was being controlled by Alice but who offered no resistance.
Can I still play with him tomorrow?
Nakahara Chuuya involuntarily followed Koro's gaze and glanced at Yumeno Kyusaku.
I don't know where this kid got his magic from, making Xiao Luo think so much about him.
With a slightly displeased snort, Chuuya got into his subordinate's car with the child.
"Of course he should go back to his own place. Yumeno Kyusaku's guardian is Mr. Mori. If Xiao Luo wants to play with Yumeno Kyusaku tomorrow, he can ask him about it."
"Sure!" Upon hearing Chuuya Nakahara's reply, the little girl immediately perked up. "Then let's check tomorrow to see if Yumeno Kyusaku's name is on Uncle Mori's will!"
Nakahara Chuuya fell silent as he listened to Xiao Luo's words, feeling for some reason as if he had a lot to say but no words.
Let's not even talk about when the leader will give you his will. Besides, even if he does give you a will, you can't inherit Yumeno Kyusaku's legacy!
Without needing Chuuya's correction, the little girl, feeling she had already accomplished one thing, started the next topic. Looking at the orange-red strands of hair that fell onto Chuuya's shoulder, she suddenly had a whimsical idea.
"Daddy!" The little girl looked at him with bright eyes. "Let me tell you, I knew you were my daddy the moment I saw you."
"Why?" Chuuya Nakahara, sitting beside him, unconsciously softened his voice.
He gazed at the little girl before him; her round eyes shone like sapphires bathed in a clear spring, pure and untainted by any shadow, clear and bright. Even knowing Xiao Luo's nature, a faint smile involuntarily curved his lips.
This feeling of being out of place here makes one immediately sense that she has never been corrupted by darkness. Nakahara Chuuya looked at her and asked softly.
"Because the black radish has a black father, and the red radish has a red father, this is about finding similarities."
As they spoke, the little girl, gesturing excitedly, stood up in the car, snuggled into Chuuya Nakahara's arms, and whispered, "If Daddy dyes his hair, then Xiao Luo will definitely change color too."
Looking into the little girl's expectant, sparkling eyes, Chuuya Nakahara smiled slightly. Having already figured out what the little girl was thinking, he said, "I won't dye my hair, don't even think about it."
"...Dad, you don't love me anymore." The child's dream was shattered, his face fell with displeasure, and he accused his father.
"I didn't." Chuuya Nakahara said helplessly; the little girl's idea was impossible to realize.
“Yes,” the child said unhappily, “you’ve never called me Xiao Luo, so you’re not actually Xiao Luo’s dad yet!”
As she spoke, the girl suddenly thought of the recognition on Zero Zero. With a thought, she looked at the screen that was gradually appearing beside her and glanced at the unfinished task markers on it.
The little girl, who was muttering to herself, suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief, "Daddy!"
The child's voice was sharp and piercing.
Nakahara Chuuya was startled by the little girl's words, "What's wrong?"
He asked, confused.
"Daddy, so you really weren't my daddy!" What was originally just a casual remark turned into a huff as the little girl glared at him, looking at him with displeasure and utter confusion. "Daddy, why don't you want to be my daddy!"
"I...no." Chuuya Nakahara was about to deny it, but his voice trailed off as he met the boy's resolute expression. He said weakly.
Although he had decided to accept Xiao Luo's existence, he still hadn't fully considered the possibility of having another daughter. Had Xiao Luo discovered it just now?
"Yes!" the little girl said earnestly, "Daddy, didn't you call me Daddy?"
Chuuya Nakahara: ?
"Did you say it backwards?" Chuuya Nakahara wondered if he had misheard.
The little girl over there had already channeled her inner detective, completely ignoring what Chuuya Nakahara said, and began to make a super deduction: "Because Daddy never called me Daddy, that's why Xiao Luo didn't succeed."
This is a difficult task, Dad. Call me Dad!
