Precious family.
Qiong Xing continued thinking about what he could do for Mayo, both as family and as a parent.
His heart still wavered.
In the end, however, he decided to respect Mayo's own wishes.
"People call this a familiar contract, but I do not want to use it to control Mayo or treat Mayo like a tool. I only want to hear the voice and feelings of someone precious to me, someone who is part of my family. So if there ever comes a day when Mayo no longer wants this, tell me. I will dissolve the contract immediately."
"Mayo~ Mayo~"
Mayo nodded as though saying, "I understand," and that alone gave Qiong Xing the courage he needed.
Even then, the thought of Is this really the right choice? still lingered in the back of his mind.
But if that day ever came, he could simply end the contract immediately.
Since Albe had taught him before when he made the contract with Fenrisúlfr, the process did not take very long.
"...Mama, Mama... Mama. Mama, can you hear my voice?"
