Abnormal Moon

Toudou Seijiro arrived at the bathhouse entrance carrying a basket of clean clothes. He immediately saw his wife clinging to the door in a very indecent position and asked with a subtle expression.

"Oh dear, Seijiro, you've come at the wrong time. Wait an hour before going in!"

Toudou Kotoha quickly turned around, patted her skirt, revealed a ladylike smile like that of a well-bred young lady, and pushed Seijiro towards the door.

"Go for it, Kirin!"

Before leaving, she waved her fist into the bathtub, mentally encouraging her daughter.

In the bath.

When the two confronted each other, they realized that the culprit was Kirin's mother, Kotoha.

"What's wrong with that woman? Is she afraid her daughter won't get married?"

Roy rubbed his forehead; his temples were throbbing.

Although Roy was a bit lecherous and a bit of a scumbag, he wasn't completely without principles. Kirin was only thirteen years old. Even if he was extremely thirsty, he would never lay a hand on her. Although she didn't look thirteen at all, even if the curse suddenly broke out at this moment, Roy just wanted to endure it on his own.

Even so, since it was Kirin's mother who did it, Roy couldn't say much.

Roy sat at one end of the bathtub, and Kirin sat at the other end.

The two looked away, either out of restraint or shyness, neither of them actively looking at the other.

Fortunately, there were many people in the mansion, so the bath was built to be large enough to accommodate more than twenty people at the same time. The distance between them was far enough that there would be no skin contact, and as long as they restrained themselves, there would be no possibility of anything going wrong.

"I'm so sorry, Senior Roy, it was all my mother's idea..."

Kirin's voice rang out in the quiet bath, sounding somewhat ashamed.

"No, it's okay. It's good to have such a cheerful... no, straightforward... well, lively mother. She must have helped you a lot. It's good to have someone you can rely on."

Roy struggled with his lines for a while before finally managing to come up with a fairly close adjective.

Kirin Toudou was a little curious.

"What kind of person is Roy's mother?"

"I don't have a mother."

"Eh?! Ah, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry...!"

Kirin Toudou was so startled that she almost stood up from the bathtub. Fortunately, she reacted in time and just squatted down, without exposing any parts that shouldn't have been exposed. However, she didn't have time to care about that. Instead, she kept apologizing to Roy, her voice full of panic and self-blame.

She shouldn't have asked that question; she should slap herself for thinking about it in the middle of the night.

"It's okay. I'm used to it."

Roy's tone was very calm. He had never had a mother in either of his two lifetimes. No, he should say he had no relatives. He had been used to being alone for a long time.

Think about it carefully, when did he get used to it?

Anyway, it wasn't long ago that he finally got his first real family member, Ilya, who could be considered his sister, and she was very good to him, so Roy was also very good to her.

Although he was of the same race as other androids, he simply couldn't treat androids without a sense of self as brothers and sisters.

"It's not good for things to stay like this, so I'll head out now."

After a long silence, Roy got up from the bath and walked towards the door from the other side.

"Um...please wait!"

But at that moment, Kirin Toudou suddenly had a moment of impulsiveness.

She abruptly stood up from the bathtub, grabbed Roy's arm as he left, and the blush that had been gradually fading from her face suddenly surged back up. She could even feel her heart pounding and her body temperature rising rapidly.

Roy looked at her in surprise.

Then quickly look away.

"...You can squat down to say what you want to say."

"Roy has always taken good care of me and helped me a lot, but I never knew what I could do for him. But now I feel like I understand!"

Kirin Toudou felt her heart pounding incredibly fast, her body temperature rising rapidly, and she even felt dizzy.

"Please let me become Roy's family!"

"Home, family?"

Roy froze, and for once, he began to stutter.

"Could it be the family I'm imagining...?"

"Yes!"

Kirin Toudou felt that she was somewhat abnormal right now, her brain was completely guided by the heat, and she had lost all rationality.

"Please let me be your bride! I will make up for what you lacked before...!"

Upon closer reflection, Roy has never lacked beautiful women around him. Claudia and Eurythm both have clear feelings for him, especially Claudia, the senior. The two are often inseparable, and their relationship is visibly close.

Kirin Toudou felt she had no advantage whatsoever. She used to have the advantage of her swordsmanship, but with Roy's swordsmanship surpassing hers, her only advantage was gone.

If you can't win against Claudia no matter what, you might as well go all out!

only.

Why is my head getting dizzier and dizzier?

Did it soak for too long...?

Even Roy was stunned for a few seconds by Kirin's incredibly abrupt marriage proposal. When he came to his senses, he saw Kirin falling on top of him.

She had already fainted.

Given her easily embarrassed personality, it must have taken all the courage she had accumulated over half her life to propose to him in this situation.

"This is the first time in my life that a girl has made me lose my composure for a moment."

Roy sighed. He was a man who could remain unfazed even when facing Gilgamesh... Did he change his expression back then?

He took a blanket from the imaginary space, wrapped it around Qilin, and led her out of the bath.

Then, using runes, she summoned Kotoha Toudou and handed Kirin over to her mother, who was grinning mischievously.

"I didn't do anything with Kirin!"

Faced with her gaze that seemed to be directed at her son-in-law, Roy couldn't help but offer a defense.

When Kotoha Toudou was changing her daughter's clothes, she checked her over and couldn't help but feel a little impolite suspicion rising in her mind.

"Can he do it?"

…………

the next morning.

"Um... I was so irrational last night, please don't take what I said to heart!"

Kirin Toudou, looking like she was about to run away at any moment, ran timidly to Roy.

Roy was bewildered by the gust of wind.

No, ladies.

I was proposed to, and then immediately dumped?

Are you trying to fool me, or are you just messing with my brain?

"I'll say those words again in a few years..."

Kirin Toudou secretly glanced at Roy, but when their eyes met, she immediately looked away like a startled fawn.

"...Give me your answer then!"

Kirin tried her best to finish her last sentence, then hurriedly turned and ran away, as if she were afraid of being caught and swallowed whole by a wolf.

Roy scratched his head and shrugged.

What can I say?

Chapter 252 Aeneasa Comes Knocking

After spending two more days at the Toudou family's house and finishing up the matters in Miyagi Prefecture, Roy and Kirin embarked on their journey back to the Academy City.

Roy's control over Miyagi Prefecture was entirely hidden in the shadows. On the surface, he did not interfere in any affairs of Miyagi Prefecture, and it seemed no different from before. The officials and the people naturally felt at ease and went about their lives as usual. No one knew that Roy had secretly taken control of all the high-ranking officials in the prefecture.

After returning to Rokka Airport by plane and arriving back at Seidoukan Academy, Claudia came looking for her.

"Roy, a guest is waiting for you."

"guest?"

Roy raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Then you can go ahead and get busy, senior. I'll head back to the junior high school section first."

Kirin Toudou wisely took a step back, gave Roy a shy yet sweet smile, and then ran off towards the junior high school.

Claudia glanced at the departing figure of Kirin Toudou, then stroked her chin and fell into deep thought.

Why does it feel like Kirin has changed a lot?
