"Satisfied..."
In the end, old uncle Cid was no longer the man he used to be. Once full from a meal, he wanted to lie down, but that wasn't good for the stomach, so he could only lean against the wall.
Kirara had already transformed back into cat form and curled up beside the old uncle.
Yumemizuki Mizuki voluntarily took on the responsibility of washing dishes in the kitchen.
The trash fox looked contentedly at the scenery outside the window, appearing far too relaxed.
The Shogun still sat with her head held high and chest out, showing no sign of relaxation whatsoever.
The Shura Anyakonsen-shou planned to first digest a bit, then later settle accounts with Yae Miko over her teasing of Kirara.
But before that, it was better to give Miko one more chance.
"Speaking of which, Miko, are you sure you don't need to change this habit of yours of teasing people? Look what one sentence from you did to Kirara. If I hadn't been here, who knows how heartbroken Kirara would have become."
To this, Miko flatly denied it.
"Shura Anyakonsen-shou, don't talk nonsense. This little fox didn't tease Kirara at all—I was just kindly reminding her, seeing a cat who can make fox sounds."
Teasing is one thing, but whether she admits knowing or not is another.
Anyway, this little fox will stubbornly insist she didn't know Kirara valued her fox identity so much. Then this honest person, the Shura Anyakonsen-shou, has no way to pursue it.
"You're sure you didn't know?"
The Shura Anyakonsen-shou's tone carried doubt, as if he really believed Yae Miko's fox words.
"Of course. I was just innocently correcting her fox language out of reflex. If anything, this should be your problem, Shura Anyakonsen-shou.
You knew how important this was to Kirara but didn't protect her properly, and you never even told me about the issue..."
"Hiss... I feel like what you're saying makes sense... It really was my oversight..."
"Right? Right? If anything, you should even thank me. If it weren't for me, who knows when Kirara's issue would have erupted...
And at that time, you might not even have been by Kirara's side, leaving her to get through it alone~"
At this moment, the Shura Anyakonsen-shou confirmed one thing.
He probably couldn't out-talk this fox.
As the perpetrator, she could still claim it was for the victim's own good and even say words that made the victim's guardian thank her...
This fox clearly understood the situation but deliberately pretended not to, treating it all as fun...
Enough. No need to probe further.
The Shura Anyakonsen-shou sighed.
This fox had crossed the line and hadn't even realized there was anything wrong with her actions.
In Yae Miko's eyes, the Shura Anyakonsen-shou clearly had no way left to deal with her cunning self.
"Mizuki, come here for a moment. In this knowledge exchange with Sumeru, I specifically traded for some psychology-related knowledge..."
The Shura Anyakonsen-shou silently shifted his gaze to the obedient and well-behaved little baku of dreams.
Clearly, the Shura Anyakonsen-shou now seemed to be letting the little fox run free, intending to allow her to develop on her own.
Yumemizuki Mizuki, who had just finished washing the dishes, came to Mr. Cid's side, picked up the Akasha Terminal, and connected it.
Raiden Shogun sat in place pretending to nap, but in reality had already activated her connection to the Akasha Terminal's information.
Yae Miko watched this scene and only found it quite amusing.
This little guy, the Shura Anyakonsen-shou, is actually angry.
Directly pulling Raiden Shogun and Mizuki to isolate me...
