I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Seeing Lappland's dejected look, Yuhaka, unsure of what was wrong, reached out and patted Lappland's head to comfort her.

Chapter 125 [Lappland's Delusions]

After patting Lappland's head to comfort her, Yuhaka scooped out a candy and held it out to Lappland. Lappland looked at the candy in front of her and then looked up at Yuhaka with an "OwO" expression. For some reason, Lappland felt like she was seeing Texas when she was a child.

"Don't eat?"

Yuhaka tilted his little head and looked at Lappland, asking this question. Lappland, who had just come to her senses, looked at the uncoated milk candy in Yuhaka's hand with an innocent expression. Just as Lappland was about to reach out and take the milk candy from Yuhaka's hand, Yuhaka threw the milk candy into his mouth and chewed it.

"..."

Lappland, standing to the side, looked completely bewildered. "Where's the candy you promised?"

Clearly, Lappland underestimated Yohaka's patience. Well, I mean Yohaka's tolerance for toffee. In fact, Yohaka has little tolerance for soft candies like toffee, since sweets are just too tempting for girls.

"...Hmph hmph hmph...Hehehe...Hahaha—!!"

"OwO?"

Yuhaka looked at Lappland with a puzzled expression as she watched her suddenly burst into laughter. Yuhaka had no idea what funny thing she had done, and neither did Zelus, who was standing next to her. When she saw Lappland suddenly laughing, she wanted to add the caption "She's laughing hysterically!" even though she didn't know what Lappland was laughing about.

"Wow... I haven't laughed like this in so long..."

After scratching her somewhat messy gray-white long hair, Lappland changed her posture and squatted down in front of Yuhaka, looking at the little guy in front of her and asking:

"Little guy, what's your name?"

When Lappland asked for his name, Yuhaka honestly told her his name.

"Youyou, your name is Youyou."

Lappland touched her chin, a slightly strange expression on her face, and said:

"Youyou Texas? Why does her name sound like it comes from the Yan Kingdom? Could it be that Texas's husband is from the Yan Kingdom or Lungmen?"

Thinking about it this way, Lappland felt it made a lot of sense. Then Lappland asked Yuhaka who her father was. Lappland was also very curious about which guy was able to date Texas. She would give that guy her "blessing".

Yuhaka also looked puzzled when asked about Lappland's question, and said:

"Daddy? Youyou, there isn't any."

Lappland was stunned when she heard Yhaka's words. When Yhaka said that she had no father, Lappland wondered if Yhaka was picked up by Texas. However, seeing Yhaka's face, which was very similar to Texas's, made Lappland rule out that possibility.

Lappland looked a little puzzled, then asked Yuhaka again:

"So, who is Texas's husband?"

Lappland, who asked the question, also felt incredibly stupid (Texas: You're such a stupid dog). Yhaka doesn't even know his own father, so how could he possibly know Texas's husband?

However, this thought made Lappland realize a problem: if Texas doesn't have a husband, then where did Yhaka come from?

So Lappland used her rich imagination to conjure up stories of Texas and Yhaka's past.

On a dark and stormy night, a drunk Texas was seduced by a man. Unbeknownst to her, Texas became pregnant with Yhaka. With her large belly, Texas went to find the man who had taken her body, but unfortunately, she couldn't find him.

So Texas, unwilling to abort the child, could only carry Ehohaka until she gave birth to him.

—This concludes Lapland's recollection.

Thinking of the above, Lappland hugged Eugène and said:

"Don't worry, Youyou! I'll find that heartless man and turn him into a mille-feuille!"

"A mille-feuille? It sounds delicious..."

Upon hearing words related to food, Yuhaka's beast ears and large tail stood up. Although Yuhaka had never eaten mille-feuille, he thought that the food called "mille-feuille" must be very delicious.

Lappland, who was standing nearby, realized that what she had just said was inappropriate for a child like Yhwaka, so she quickly went along with Yhwaka's words and said to him:

"Mmm! Those are delicious snacks!"

Upon hearing Lappland's words, Yuhaka's mouth watered slightly, and he said with an expectant expression:

"Want to eat!"

Lappland patted his chest, which was even bigger than Texas's, and said to Yuhaka:

"Hehe, no problem, little one, let me take you outside to eat some delicious mille-feuille."

Hearing Lappland's words, Yuhaka's big eyes lit up. At the mention of delicious food, Yuhaka wagged its big tail, hugged Lappland's slender waist, and pressed its face against Lappland's chest, saying:

"Hmm~"

………….

Meanwhile, in Croissant's little shop, Warfarin looked up at Croissant, who only had a cardboard box of blue mushrooms and green potions, and said:

"Uh... Miss Croissant, is that all?"

Croissant shrugged and said:

"There's no other way, Miss Warfarin. I went to great lengths to get these goods. It's not bad that I managed to get even this much, considering it's just a small business for me."

Croissant wasn't lying. She spent a lot of money to buy a bunch of snacks and traded them for from Yohaka. After all, getting some ingredients from Yohaka wasn't that easy. It was better to trade delicious things for what Yohaka had, which was more effective than money or anything else.

Hearing Croissant's words, Warfarin scratched the back of her head, feeling a bit troubled. After all, she had been asked by Kal'tsit to buy a large number of blue mushrooms from Croissant for research and cultivation. But with so few, it would be difficult to conduct research. So, she could only use them for cultivation for now?

Warfarin looked at the croissant and asked her:

"So how much does this box of stuff cost?"

Upon hearing Warfarin's words, Croissant held up her palm and made a "ten" sign. Seeing this, Warfarin looked surprised and said:

"One hundred thousand!?"

Croissant thought Warfarin was going to say something after saying it was expensive, but Croissant didn't expect Warfarin's next sentence to leave her dumbfounded.

"How much is the price? Okay, I'll buy this whole box."

As she spoke, Warfarin took out a bank card and said to Croissant, who looked completely bewildered:

"Um... do you accept credit cards here?"

Chapter 125 [Lappland Protecting Her Child]

In the heart of Lungmen City, in a dessert shop, a cute little girl and a Lupo girl with long gray hair are sitting at a table eating desserts. The little girl and the girl are Yuhaka and Lappland.

Lappland watched Yuhaka eating mille-feuille. For Lappland, encountering Yuhaka during her trip to Texas was a completely unexpected surprise. She hadn't expected Texas to have a child, let alone such a big one... (←Lappland, whose intelligence hadn't quite caught up yet.)

"Lappland~ Eat~"

Yuhaka handed a half-eaten mille-feuille pastry to Lappland. Hearing Yuhaka's words, Lappland also opened her mouth and took a bite of the mille-feuille pastry from Yuhaka's hand. The crispy and sweet aroma spread in her mouth, making Lappland feel more alert.

After all, they rushed over to Longmen overnight yesterday. Speaking of which, it seems she hasn't eaten anything today.

As soon as he thought about this problem, Lappland's stomach started growling.

Lappland rubbed her rumbling stomach and said:

"Ah, it seems I haven't eaten yet..."

Yuhaka, who was eating mille-feuille nearby, heard Lappland's stomach rumbling and heard her words. He then stood up, looked at Lappland, and said:

"I'll cook for Lapland!"

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

In a supermarket in downtown Lungmen, Lappland pushed a shopping cart with Yuhaka on it, searching among the shelves for what Yuhaka needed.

To be honest, Lappland was wondering how long it had been since she last visited a supermarket.

Before being approached by Rhodes Island, I seemed to be wandering the world as an assassin. Normally, I would just eat at a random street stall or buy some takeout. It wasn't until I was on Rhodes Island that I was able to leave behind my old life.

clap clap clap!

Lappland felt something pat her cheek, snapping her out of her reverie. Looking down at what had patted her cheek, she saw Yuhaka's thick, long, black tail slapping her face. Lappland grabbed the tip of Yuhaka's tail and said to her:

"What's wrong, little one?"

"Youyou, I want that one!"

Lappland looked in the direction Yuhaka pointed and saw something that looked somewhat familiar. Tilting her head with a puzzled expression, Lappland said:

"spaghetti?"

Lappland turned to look at Yuhaka and said:

"Little one, do you want to make pasta?"

Hearing Lappland's question, Yuhaka nodded in agreement. Lappland released Yuhaka from her hand, and Yuhaka wriggled its tail to take a bag of pasta from the shelf and put it in Yuhaka's hand.

"Heh heh, it's this one..."

After confirming the brand of the pasta she had, Yuhaka put it in her shopping cart and urged Lappland to go find the next ingredient elsewhere. Just as Lappland left the shelf, a girl with short purple hair and long horns poked her head out from behind the shelf and asked in confusion:

"Huh? I just heard Miss Lappland's voice. Where did she go?"

The girl next to her, who also had purple twin tails like the girl, said with a speechless expression:

"You must have misheard me..."

"Huh?! Really? ⊙△⊙?"

………….

After shopping, Yuhaka carried the bags in one hand and held Lappland's hand with the other, walking towards her apartment. On the way home, Yuhaka habitually sang the songs brought to her by "knowledge" from her memory.

"Blooming wildflowers of the field... please tell me... why do people hurt each other... leading to endless conflict..."

“A flower blooming so proudly… What can I see in you… Why can’t people even forgive each other…”

As Lappland listened to Yuhaka's song, she gently held the warm little hand in her own. Lappland didn't know why, but when she held Yuhaka's little hand, she always felt an unprecedented peace in her heart. The crazy and painful emotions that used to drive her crazy seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

Soon, Lappland, who hoped to remain at peace with this mindset, was disturbed.

"Excuse me for interrupting, miss and this lovely little girl."

A man in a suit and sunglasses walked over and said this to Lappland and Yhaka. Yhaka, who was disturbed, naturally stopped singing and looked at the guy who suddenly came to bother them with a puzzled expression.

The man in the suit and sunglasses took out a business card and handed it to Lappland, saying:

"I'm a talent scout from MSR, and this is my business card..."

Before the MSR talent scout could finish speaking, Lappland covered her face, glared at the scout with a fierce look, and said:

"roll……"

"Alas--!"
