I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Before Exusiai could finish speaking, Texas, who was standing nearby, glared at her fiercely and said:

"Shut up."

"Yes yes~"

Upon hearing Texas's words, Exusiai obediently shut her mouth and ate the sandwich made by Yuhaka. In fact, Exusiai was not offended by Texas's actions in the bathroom that morning. After all, Texas had always been cold and taciturn when Exusiai teamed up with Texas. If Exusiai hadn't spent a long time with Texas, she would have thought that Texas was dissatisfied with her.

Exusiai was happy to see Texas's other expressions, after all, Texas was her friend~ (Texas: Get lost...)

Sora, watching Texas and Exusiae raise an eyebrow, had no idea what had happened between them in the bathroom, but she had a feeling something was going on... Ugh, she was so curious...

Croissant, standing to the side, looked at Sora, who had a conflicted expression, and said:

"Kong, what's wrong?"

Hearing Croissant's words, Sora shuddered and then laughed as he said to Croissant:

"Haha, I'm fine now~ Youyou's sandwich is so delicious!"

Hearing Sora praise her sandwiches, Yuhaka naturally gave a >w< look. Croissant, seeing Sora's strange expression, didn't know what was going on, but she figured there must be some gossip. However, Croissant had things to do later, so she didn't pursue it further.

…………..

After breakfast, everyone went off to take care of their own business. Texas and Exusiai Penguin Logistics sent everyone's weapons to Is for maintenance, while Sora went to Siren Records. Croissant was going to pick up some goods from her shop. As for Yuhaka...

Hi everyone, welcome to today's Family Kitchen! Today we're making curry rice!

Yuhaka lay on the sofa watching a cooking show on TV. Texas looked at Yuhaka and said to her:

"Youyou, don't open the door to strangers when we're not here. Stay home and make sure you stay safe."

Yuhaka, engrossed in watching a cooking show on TV, seemed oblivious to Texas's words. Exusiai, standing next to Texas, patted her on the shoulder and said to Texas:

"Alright, with Youyou's skills, there's no need to worry even if she encounters a thief, right? The only one who should be worried is that unlucky thief~"

Texas, looking embarrassed after hearing Exusiai's words, replied:

"No, what I'm worried about is thieves..."

Upon hearing Texas's words, Exusiai and the others present, considering Ehaka's strength, knew that any thief who came would only be easy prey.

Exusiai's lips twitched as she said:

"Uh...it seems like the only thing to worry about is thieves..."

...................

Not long after Texas and her group left their apartment, Warfarin and her group arrived in Lungmen City through the port of Lungmen.

Warfarin looked at the address Croissant had given them and the electronic map on her phone, a little conflicted, and said:

"Ugh... Where is this address?!"

Warfarin turned to Angelina, who was standing to the side, and said:

“Angelina, do you know if this location might be there?”

Hearing Warfarin's words, Angelina looked at the address and electronic map in Warfarin's hand with a troubled expression and said:

"Hmm... to be honest, I haven't been to Lungmen that many times, so I'm not really familiar with this location..."

"Really……"

When Warfarin heard Angelina say that, she was even more at a loss.

As for why Warfarin and the others came to Lungmen...

…………

Last night at Rhodes Island's medical department, Kal'tsit and most of the medical operators were studying the blue mushroom that Myrrh had purchased from Croissant. After almost a whole night of research, Kal'tsit and the others discovered that the blue mushroom had strong compatibility and could be added to most of the drugs currently on Rhodes Island, enhancing their effects without any side effects.

Most importantly, the Oripathy suppressant produced by Rhodes Island is also affected by the Blue Mushroom effect, which is the main reason why medical operators like Kal'tsit are so interested in the Blue Mushroom.

That's why Warfarin and her team were sent here.

Warfarin sighed and said:

"Ugh... this is really troublesome..."

Angelina, with an embarrassed expression, said:

"Well... although we know where Croissant's shop is, maybe we can call Croissant and ask them..."

Before Angelina could finish speaking, Warfarin suddenly clapped her hands and said:

"That's right! Why didn't I think of making a phone call!"

Then Warfarin took out Croissant's postcard, looked at the phone number and phone number printed on it, and then took out her own phone to call. After asking around, Warfarin and the others finally found out where Croissant's little shop was.

"Alright, we're getting ready to go... Hmm? Where are the Lapplanders?"

Warfarin noticed that the greyish-white Lupo girl who had been in her team was nowhere to be seen. She looked at the other operators standing nearby and said:

Have you seen Lappland?

Upon hearing Warfarin's words, all the operators shook their heads. Warfarin felt like she was going crazy. Although Warfarin knew from the operator files that Lappland was a capricious "problem child," she didn't expect Lappland to be so capricious, leaving without even leaving a word.

"Ha... never mind, let's go to Croissant's place first. If we need to leave Lungmen, we can just call Lappland."

With that, Warfarin led some operators toward Croissant's shop.

………….

Somewhere in Longmen City, Lappland stopped a housewife carrying a shopping basket and said:

"Excuse me, ma'am, do you know if the person in this photo lives in this area?"

The housewife said with a smile:

"Oh, you're so sweet-talking!"

Then the housewife looked at the photo in Lappland's hand and said:

"Oh my, isn't this the Texas girl who lives at number xxx?"

After hearing the answer she wanted, Lappland thanked the housewife and turned to leave. The housewife watched Lappland's departing figure with a puzzled look and said:

"So rushed? Looks like a distant relative of the Texas girl?"

Lappland then strode quickly toward the apartment where Texas and the others lived, saying:

"We'll be meeting soon, Texas. What kind of expression will you make when you see me here...? I'm really looking forward to it... Texas."

Chapter 123 [Lappland: What?! Texas has given birth?!?]

In the apartment where I live in Texas.

Lappland noticed that the number on the doorplate matched the number of the housewife she had just asked. Lappland could clearly hear the sound of a television coming from inside, so it seemed someone was home. She knocked on the door and waited outside.

Thirty seconds later, no one came to open the door from the other side, not even a sound of footsteps approaching.

This made Lappland a little embarrassed, so she knocked on the door and waited again.

Sixty seconds passed, and there was still no movement from inside. Lappland was so tempted to chop down the door that she suddenly realized that the door was unlocked.

"???"

Lappland looked at the unlocked door with a puzzled expression. Although she didn't know why, she couldn't be blamed since the door wasn't locked.

After Lappland opened the door, she heard the sound of a television program coming from the living room. When she entered the room, she found some shoes placed in the hallway. Based on these shoes, Lappland could roughly estimate how many people lived in the room. If she was not mistaken, there were about three or four people living there.

However… Lappland looked at the pair of little leather shoes that looked like they were for a young girl and looked puzzled. Could it be that someone in Texas’s team was living with their family?

When Lappland walked into the living room, she saw a pair of familiar hair colors and animal ears peeking out from the sofa armrest, and she grinned, showing a smile as if she had seen prey.

Lappland watched the twitching animal ears and thought to herself:

Texas, how many years have passed and you've become so depraved? Did you not even notice my arrival when I was so close?

To be honest, Lappland felt a little disappointed. Originally, Lappland thought that her encounter with Texas would be a surprise, or like swords drawn. But seeing "Texas" lying on the sofa like a lazy bug watching the cooking made Lappland feel like she wanted to draw her sword. In fact, Lappland had already drawn her black longsword.

Now, Lappland wants to put a weapon to Texas's neck and ask her how she feels about seeing her again.

So Lappland held the long sword in her hand to the neck of "Texas," who was lying on the sofa in front of her, and said:

"Long time no see, Texas. Have you been thinking about me...?"

When Lappland placed the sword on the sofa, she sensed something was wrong. She then noticed that the "Texas" under her sword seemed much smaller than the Texas she had seen on Rhodes Island; it looked like a miniature version of Texas.

"What...what's going on?"

………….

As for Yhaka, who had Lappland's sword to his neck, Yhaka had already sensed Lappland's arrival at the door. Because of the biological reaction to a stranger, Yhaka obeyed Texas's instructions not to open the door to strangers when they were not around.

After Lappland opened the door, Yhaka didn't react much. After all, there was no murderous aura, hostility, or danger emanating from the other party, which made Yhaka not react much. In a sense, Lappland basically couldn't beat Yhaka.

Since Yhaka doesn't possess any Originium Arts, Lappland's technique of using her own abilities to cut off others' Originium Arts is useless against her.

Although Lappland has strong combat skills, she is not enough against Yhaka, who has extremely strong recovery ability and excellent stats.

Yuhaka lay on the sofa, looking up at Lappland, who was dressed in black with long, greyish-white hair. Lappland was frantically trying to figure out the origins of this little girl who looked like she was from Texas. After eliminating incorrect and doubtful answers one by one, Lappland came to a conclusion:

[Could this little guy, who looks like a newborn puppy, be a child from Texas...?!]

Lappland looked at Yuhaka, who was lying on the sofa with her little face on the armrest, with a "shocked Lappland.jpg" expression. Yuhaka found Lappland's ever-changing expression intriguing, so she lay on the sofa, wagging her big tail, and watched Lappland's changing expression.

Then Lappland leaned close to Yhwach and smelled his scent. She then recognized the familiar scent of Texas. With a serious expression, Lappland pressed her nose against Yhwach's nose and said:

"Little guy, what is Texas to you?"

Upon hearing the name Texas, Yuhaka's large tail wagged even more enthusiastically. However, when Yuhaka wondered who Texas was to him, he recalled something an aunt had said when Texas took him out to play.

A housewife: [Oh my, isn't this Texas girl? Oh, you have a daughter too? Little one, you must listen to your Texas mommy. Here, Auntie has some candy for you. Be a good girl.]

That concludes my recollection.

Under Lappland's tense gaze, Yuhaka tilted her little head, opened her small mouth, and said to Lappland:

"Mother……?"

Click!

With a sound like shattering glass echoing in her heart, Lappland turned deathly pale and knelt on Texas's carpet in an OTL-like position. Yuhaka, standing beside her, stared at the pale Lappland with an "OwO?" expression. From Lappland's mouth, Yuhaka heard her say, "Ah... Texas got married...", "Ah... yes, she even has a child...", "And the child is so big..."

If Texas were here, she would definitely call Lappland a stupid dog, without considering the age difference between Texas and Yhaka. However, Lappland couldn't figure out these questions, as she was almost ready to give up after thinking about them.
