Third Dad
Why would my brother/father hit me?
Xiao Luo ran out confidently, feeling that what the system brother said was completely unrealistic.
The door opened again, but this time it seemed like there were people talking outside.
Hmm, Xiao Luo hugged the balloon, scratched her cheek with her hand, hesitated for a while, and then pushed open the door.
There were children's voices outside the door; it sounded like an excited little boy.
"Kosuke! Come quick! There's a door growing under the slide!"
"Idiot, how could there be Nagato on the slide... Ah! It really is Nagato!!"
The boy called Kosuke rolled his eyes. Although he looked impatient, he still obediently walked over. He froze the moment he saw the door.
"The slide has come to life!!"
"Where is he?!" The children behind him turned around immediately when they heard Xin Jie's voice, and shouted in unison, excitedly rushing to his side.
However, there seemed to be an unfamiliar voice mixed in, and Kosuke hesitated as he looked in the direction from which the voice came.
After meeting the little girl's equally excited and expectant gaze, he screamed again, and Kosuke trembled as he shielded his younger siblings behind him.
He tried to look fierce and bared his teeth at the little girl: "No matter what kind of monster you are, stay away from us!"
"A monster? Little Lolita?" Meeting Kosuke's gaze, the little girl's expectant look slowly faded. Little Lolita was terrified, frantically patting herself down to see if she had any extra parts.
"Am I a monster? How did Xiao Luo turn into a monster! What should I do? Xiao Luo doesn't want to be anything but human!"
“Emm…” The five children next to her fell silent as they looked at the little girl.
Katsumi spoke first, whispering to Shinji beside him, "I feel like... this youkai is a bit slow."
"Does Sakura think that this monster sister might have sneaked out to play like us?"
The youngest sister, Sakura, spoke softly, clutching Kosuke's clothes as she whispered.
The little girl, who had frantically touched herself for a while before realizing that nothing else had changed, breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, she was still human.
Upon hearing Saku's words, the little girl's expression turned serious, and she said earnestly, "No! Koro isn't a monster!"
Sakura noticed that the little girl opposite her had heard her words and shyly hid behind her brothers. "If you suddenly appeared, are you a little fairy or a monster?"
The little girl still curiously poked her head out.
Xiao Luo had never seen many children in her life. She was the youngest in her family, and her older brothers and sisters who had children were her cousins, so they wouldn't let her hold them.
The little girl was quite angry about this, saying that the child was too young to know Xiao Luo well.
Are the kids familiar with them? Didn't they just meet a month ago?
A bunch of big liars!
The little girl stared intently at Sakura and the others, carefully observing them, when she heard what the child said.
Xiao Luo was slightly taken aback at first, then her eyes lit up, and she nodded firmly: "That's right! Xiao Luo can be one!"
Although Xiao Luo still wants to be human, she is willing to compromise and reluctantly become a fairy for the sake of her little sister's childlike heart.
Yes, this is a white lie told to make herself feel wronged; it's definitely not something Xiao Luo wanted to do.
Xiao Luo dared to say it, and the children next to her dared to believe her.
"Wow! A fairy! Oda has definitely never seen a little fairy before!"
"Little fairy, did you come down to earth to play?"
"Little fairy, your coat looks just like Oda's!"
The children's calls of "little fairy" delighted Xiao Luo, who responded generously, "Of course not, Xiao Luo has important business to attend to when she goes out."
I've come to find my dad!
"Hmm? Is the fairy's father in the mortal realm?"
"Could it be the legendary love between a celestial being and a mortal?" Keji asked excitedly, his eyes wide.
Shinji, embarrassed, tugged at him. "Katsumi! What book are you reading again?"
"No, that's not it! Anyway, Xiaoluo is going to the detective agency to find my dad." The little girl interrupted the children loudly, even though she also wanted to play with the other children. But there were more important things to do now, and she couldn't wait to integrate her brother and father into her wonderful family.
I was so good to my brother's father that he suddenly had both a son and a daughter.
Xiao Luo was happily thinking about saying goodbye to Saki and the others.
After the children said goodbye to Xiao Luo, the little girl happily walked forward a meter, then stopped.
After standing there for a while, the little girl covered her head and turned around guiltily.
"Um... Xing... Ke... cough cough, kids, let me test you, how do I get to the detective agency?"
The little girl, whose name was too complicated to remember, coughed twice guiltily and, for the first time, took advantage of her age to ask the question with righteous indignation.
The five children looked at each other, then simultaneously replied, "We don't know."
Little Luo: !!!
Under the watchful eyes of five large pairs of eyes, the little girl sadly squatted down on the ground, hugged her head, and began to mutter to herself.
"What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?"
Is Xiao Luo destined to be separated from her father? How cruel! Why can't Xiao Luo be reunited with her family of three even for one day?
"Does she... not know the way?" Katsumi tugged at Kosuke in silence.
Shinji whispered in Yu's ear, "I feel like... this little fairy doesn't seem very smart."
"Nonsense!" The already heartbroken girl keenly overheard their whispered conversation.
A child gently broke down, and Xiao Luo retorted loudly, "Xiao Luo is the smartest person in the world."
Hmm, this doesn't feel like a nice thing to say.
It was Kosuke, the eldest, who reluctantly stepped forward and said, "Sorry, we didn't mean to."
Looking at the little girl lying on the ground, almost broken, he said with some sympathy to his family behind him, "She's so pitiful. She's never been reunited with her family in her entire life. Should we help her?"
Saku looked at the unhappy little fairy, thought for a moment and stepped forward. The little girl whispered, "We can ask Oda to help you. Oda is very powerful. Just let him see what the fairy looks like."
The very filial child plans to take the fairy back to show his guardian.
*
Oda? I've never heard of that name, but I heard he can help her find her father.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Luo still followed the other children in a large group.
As they approached the wooden house, the curry shop owner greeted the children with a friendly smile, "Kosuke! Have you had enough fun? Sakunosuke will be back soon."
"I understand, Uncle!" The children chattered and ran upstairs to the second floor.
The curry shop owner looked lovingly at the six lively children, just about to sigh and say that youth is indeed full of energy.
He realized something was wrong. Wait, six?
After thinking it over carefully, the boss realized there was indeed an unfamiliar face, and his beady eyes widened in disbelief.
Where did Oda Sakunosuke's children kidnap a little girl from?
"Boss! I'm back."
A familiar, steady voice sounded from the doorway. Oda Sakunosuke, who had just returned from his daily work, swayed slightly and looked at the curry shop owner with a puzzled expression. "Boss, what's wrong?"
The boss snapped out of his daze, scratched his thinning hair, and gave an embarrassed smile: "Haha, it's nothing, I was just spacing out for a moment."
He must have misunderstood. The little girl was probably a child from a nearby house who had come over to play after getting to know Kosuke and the others.
Perhaps some parents will come looking for us soon.
Oda Sakunosuke shook his ahoge (cowlick) and calmly nodded, accepting the answer.
Seeing that Oda Sakunosuke was about to leave, the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment before calling him back and reminding him, "Sakunosuke, Shinsuke and the others brought some children to our house to play today. Children are a bit afraid of unfamiliar adults. If you feel uncomfortable upstairs, you can come down and rest."
When Oda Sakunosuke heard that the children had made friends, the ahoge on his head moved in the wind, and his blue eyes revealed undisguised joy. He nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I understand."
Upstairs, the little ones, hearing the commotion, ran around in a panic.
"Sakura! You're pretending to do your homework!"
"Keji, you..."
Looking at the chaotic scene, Xiao Luo blinked her watery eyes and thought for a moment before enthusiastically raising her hand: "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Yes!" Several children's eyes lit up. "Little Luo, you can hide..."
"Hide and seek?" The little girl tilted her head.
"Hide them and capture Oda!"
"Oda is our guardian!"
"He's a legendary member of the Mafia!"
"Kosuke plans to become a mafia member when he grows up."
The children chattered excitedly. The former mafia member, Xiao Luo, grew even more proud. She discreetly kept her identity hidden, puffed out her chest, and happily agreed.
"After Xiao Luo helps you catch Oda, remember to help Xiao Luo go to the detective agency to find her dad."
*
Oda Sakunosuke pushed open the door, and the atmosphere inside made him pause as he tried to close it.
Didn't the boss say there were six children? Before the unshaven, red-haired youth could finish thinking, he was ambushed by a group of children.
Without much thought, Oda Sakunosuke carefully tied the children up. He then deliberately threatened them, "Now you know how terrifying the mafia is!"
Kosuke shouted defiantly, "We haven't lost yet!"
"Sister Xiaoluo!"
Before Oda Sakunosuke could react, the children suddenly shouted.
Hiding in the system space, Xiao Luo, who had been cautiously listening to the sounds outside through the crack in the door, suddenly pounced out.
Brave little Luo, unafraid of difficulties.
Sensing the presence behind him, Oda Sakunosuke's pupils contracted, and his action, which was about to take action, suddenly stopped for a moment after hearing the children's shouts.
In that instant, the little girl hugged him, and Xiao Luo happily hugged the young man's head, shouting, "Yay! We won! This is a great victory for the Mafia!"
Feeling the softness of the child on his body, Oda Sakunosuke realized that this was the child the boss had mentioned who had come to visit.
How come I didn't sense her presence just now?
Oda Sakunosuke didn't think his feeling was wrong, so this child wasn't an ordinary child. Could it be... a superhuman?
Oda Sakunosuke thought for a moment, then turned around and easily pulled the child off his back.
Oda Sakunosuke lifted the little girl up by her armpits, ready to see what the child looked like.
