Ji Qiu looked around carefully.

There was a golden forest in front of me, the edge of the forest stretched into the distance. Behind me was a field, and there was a road that looked fairly flat, leading to the other side in the distance.

Ji Qiu walked tentatively towards the field for a while, and when the golden forest was about to disappear from her sight, she stopped with regret.

She also has to support Shiba and cannot go too deep.

But one thing is certain.

Ji Qiu didn't show it on his face, but he felt heavy in his heart.

The dream area of ​​the unknown ability user is very vast. While maintaining the dream of the forest to trap Silva, he can continue to expand the area of ​​the wilderness.

Ji Qiu leaned on the parasol with her hands. She could not see what was in the distance of the field, so she could only return to the forest with regret.

But not long after she returned to the edge of the forest, she saw Shiba coming out of the forest with a pale face.

After seeing Jiqiu, Shiba was obviously cheered up. He walked towards Jiqiu quickly and stopped three meters away from Jiqiu.

Shiba was silent for a few seconds and then said succinctly, "Kiju, I have figured out why Alluga left home. It was actually Nanika's uncles who came. Nanika sensed the uncles' presence and took Alluga to find them."

Ji Qiu: “…”

The hostess who beat up the enemy almost froze her expression. She subconsciously clenched her fingers, but instead of grabbing her fan, it pierced her palm directly.

Oh, I'm still dreaming.

Ji Qiu suddenly understood why Shiba's expression was so strange.

They were still in the dream of the unknown ability user, and what they said would definitely be heard, so Silva described the current situation as objectively as possible.

But Shiba's two words still made Ji Qiu feel upset.

Nanika's uncle? The uncle that the family considered a dangerous creature? Would such a being still have an uncle? And uncles? Isn't it just one?

"...This is a rare guest, a distinguished guest." Ji Qiu forced a smile and said, "Do you want me to go home immediately to prepare to welcome the distinguished guest? Indeed, my location is closer to home than your dear. I will take the airship home in a while."

There was a slight tremor in her voice. "I wonder how many uncles Nanika has?"

Silva's expression was also very bad: "Alluka said there were two, but it is said that the uncle has already gone to beat the enemy."

Ji Qiu’s eyes went dark and he almost screamed.

Fortunately, Shiba's subsequent words brought her back to her senses.

"Alluka and Nanica are living with their uncle for the time being. It's a burden for the two uncles to have two more mouths to feed. As parents, we have to show our support and help as much as possible."

Silva tried to hint to Kiju: "Alluga has made new friends, and his uncles have tested the effects of Nanica's abilities and found new rules. After all, it seems that we as parents have failed in our duties..."

Ji Qiu was frightened after hearing this. Are there any other rules for Nanica's ability? Are there other children following Aruka? Could they be the biological children of the two uncles? Another Nanica?

Since when did an existence like Nanica no longer be described as one, but as a family?

"You go back first. I'll play with the kid for a while."

After saying this, Shiba hinted to Kiju to leave quickly.

Ji Qiu hesitated a little, and she asked implicitly: "Honey, will you go home tomorrow?"

Shiba: "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Ji Qiu sighed, which meant uncertainty. She looked at Shiba deeply, constantly telling herself that she had woken up and should stop dreaming. Sure enough, within a few seconds, she woke up from the dream.

Seeing that Ji Qiu had left, Shiba breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the other party has no intention of keeping them in the dream. Maybe things are not as bad as he thought?

Then Shiba took a deep breath, turned around and went back into the forest.

Nanika, who had just stopped crying, started dropping gold beans again.

Siba gritted his teeth, half-knelt beside Nanika, and awkwardly comforted her: "Okay, don't cry, Daddy will play with you."

A quarter of an hour ago, after Silva said regretfully, "My son, I can't separate from your father," Alluga was very disappointed, and Nanica cried even more pitifully - isn't this father too useless?

Finally, Alluka pouted and said, "Then Dad, can you play with us for a while?"

Ever since Nanica's ability was exposed, Aluka and Nanica haven't played simply and purely with their parents for a long time.

Aluka's idea is very simple. Mom and Dad have never had much contact with Nanika before, so they are afraid that Nanika will hurt their family. But as long as they get along for a long time and understand each other, Mom and Dad will accept Nanika!

Moreover, only in dreams can Nanica break away from Alluga and become an independent being. Alluga also hopes to play more with Nanica in dreams.

Shiba was asked by the child, and considering that he was in a dream, it was not easy to refuse directly, so he said, "Your mother is outside, I will say hello to her first and then come back to accompany you."

Aluka was very excited: "Then Nanica and I will go find mom too."

Xiba wanted to ask his wife to go home to see their son first, so he quickly stopped her: "Mom needs to wake up quickly to entertain your uncle. Can Dad accompany you?"

Aruka thought about it and said, "Then I'll play with mom next time."

Nanika also looked expectant.

But Shiba didn't expect that he just went out of the woods to tell his wife something, so why did Nanika cry again when he came back?

How should I put it? When I saw Nanika's dark eye sockets and mouth before, it was really scary. It made my back cold and my hair stand on end.

But in the dream, after getting used to seeing the tears in the corners of Nanika's eyes, Shiba actually felt subtly a little funny and helpless.

"Because we thought of Killua-nii." Alluka was also disappointed, "It would be great if Killua-nii could see Nanica too!"

Shiba felt a tingling sensation in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.

He said in a gentle tone: "Killa is too young to be in contact with Nanica. This is also for his safety. Alluka, Nanica, mom and I love Killua very much. You don't want Killua to be in danger, right?"

Alluka asked curiously: "But in my uncle's dream, Nanika won't hurt Brother Killua."

Silva is a father of five children. He responded skillfully: "But if Killua sees you in his dream, he will definitely cry and want to meet you in person. Then mom and dad will be in a difficult situation."

Then Silva took the initiative to change the subject: "When Killua, Alluka and Nanica grow up a little bit and become stronger, we can meet. Speaking of which, Alluka looks a bit stronger than before. What has she been doing recently?"

Alluka's attention was diverted. He said excitedly: "Play games! Watch competitions! Record live broadcasts! Follow anime! Watch TV series!"

Shiba: “…”

A question mark slowly popped up in his mind, wondering if something was wrong.

Nanika suddenly said, "Training, training."

Alluka's eyes immediately turned wild, and she looked a little depressed: "...Oh, and there is also daily training."

Shiba wiped a non-existent cold sweat, that's better.

Otherwise, he would think that the uncles from the Dark Continent were otakus like his second son!

Aruga briefly talked about her daily life, such as running laps, horse stance, strength training, etc.

After hearing this, Silva nodded secretly. He said kindly, "Alluka, you must work hard. Although the training is boring, it is the basics of the basics. You have to practice it at home as well."

Alluga was very happy after being praised. He also said that he was studying the first grade textbook, recognized a lot of words, and learned addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 100, etc. Shiba continued to praise him by patting him on the head and even held Alluga up high.

Alluga was extremely happy, while Nanica stood beside her with a look of envy on her face.

Shiba saw this from the corner of his eye, and he was moved, so he asked Nanika: "Has Nanika made any progress?"

Nanica and Alluga are one and the same. Theoretically, Alluga's progress is also Nanica's progress, but Silva asked this deliberately, actually wanting to test whether Nanica's abilities have changed.

Who would have thought that after hearing this, Nanika squatted down silently, hugged his knees, buried his head in his knees, and his body trembled.

She started crying again.

Shiba: “…”

Oh my God, it’s so hard for him. He is the father of five sons and has no experience in raising a daughter!

Alluka looked at Silva disapprovingly: "Dad is a bad guy! Nanica was just abandoned by her brother Gil because of her ability and she is sad."

Shiba tried to save his dignity: "I just want to know if Nanica can read! In addition to abilities, she also needs to learn some other knowledge!"

After hearing what Silva said, Nanica was silent for a few seconds. Suddenly, she thought of the scenes she had seen in recent days of Kirshtalia and Kurapika helping each other, learning from each other, and improving together, and she stood up.

We can't just let Alluka work hard, she also has to work hard to learn something.

Nanica grabbed Siba's trouser legs and nodded heavily: "Learn!"

Alluka happily hugged Nanica and said, "Nanica, do you want to help Alluka and Killua? Great! Then let's ask your uncle tomorrow to see what you can learn, okay?"

Nanika grinned and laughed.

Although the child's face still looked scary, Shiba still felt joy and happiness from Nanika.

At this moment, Shiba's mood was very complicated.

But then he reminded himself that the emotions generated in the dream might be controlled by the ability user. Think about the effect of Nanica's ability, think about the failure of forcing it to affect the people who are most closely related, think about beating up the enemy's whole family...

Sheba regained his composure.

Then he patiently played with the two children all night. When dawn came, the dream ended and the two children said goodbye to him hand in hand.

Shiba watched the children leave. He thought the owner of the dream would say something to him, but the next second, he suddenly woke up.

Looking at the ceiling of the room door, Shiba suddenly turned over and sat up, and he quickly checked his body with telekinesis.

After making sure he was fine, he picked up his phone and called Ji Qiu.

The phone rang and was picked up immediately.

"dear?"

"It's me." Shiba quickly asked Ji Qiu: "You're home? Is everything okay?"

Ji Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and Shiba also came back from his dream!

"I took the airship last night and returned before dawn. I have already told my father and great-grandfather Maha about the dream, and I have settled the children. However, Ilmi is still on a mission outside and will probably be back at noon today."

The elders of the Zoids were out investigating Alluka's affairs, so the daily affairs were handed over to the capable stewards of the sixteen-year-old eldest son Ilmawa.

Xiba felt relieved, and asked again, "Has the uncle come yet?"

Ji Qiu: "No news yet... huh? Wait? Wutong, what did you say?"

Shiba immediately held his breath. Jiqiu turned on the radio, and Shiba could clearly hear Wutong's report from the other side.

"...Yes, he stayed the night. He said he was a wandering poet who came to see the Gate of Hades. He also performed a one-man play at the gate and sang a song... Well, the gatekeeper said he sang very well. Tourists who came to the gate that day took photos with him. Even the sales of tourist souvenirs we sold increased by 50%..."

Wutong, the butler who beat up the enemy, roughly explained the situation.

"He said that in order to thank the enemy for allowing him to make money at the gate, he took the initiative to perform a drama for Kaito and others. The performance was very exciting and everyone was so happy that they forgot the bus time gate, so he missed the last tourist bus going down the mountain... Because he has no telekinesis, no signs of training, and even no physical reaction, he just stayed at the gate for one night..."

The Zauddi Hakka are a major taxpayer in the Republic of Batocchia, and the Kukulu Mountain where they live is also a well-known local tourist attraction. In addition to the guys who come to the Zauddi Hakka for revenge and trouble every year, there are indeed some tourists and ordinary people who mistakenly enter private territory.

Under normal circumstances, butlers can handle non-Nen-related matters that have nothing to do with their masters or business.

For example, if a passenger missed the tour bus last night and had to stay overnight temporarily, the housekeepers would not even bother the host with such a small matter. At most, they would mention it at the monthly meeting, asking how many passengers missed the bus this month and suggesting increasing the frequency of the bus, etc.

If Ji Qiu hadn't returned home early in the morning and asked everyone to be on high alert at home and report any abnormal situation, Wutong would not have reported this matter.

After hearing this, Xiba asked calmly: "What did the other party call you and what did he look like?"

He did not let his guard down just because the other party had no telekinesis, and there was no sign of Nanika's abilities or training!

"He is a handsome young man named Oberon."

Wutong's voice sounded steady and reliable. "He is eating breakfast now and watching the cartoon Uncle from Another World..."

Shiba: “…”

His eyes went dark. "Hurry up and invite my uncle from another world, er, no, Mr. Oberon, to the hall!"
