"Your Majesty~ (Kirara's fox-like call) Today I got lost, and two kids around Ayato's age even found out. Later I went to find big sister Yoimiya to lead the way..."
As the most outstanding fox in the fox group, she would never deceive her own old man!
At this moment, Kirara still seemed a bit withdrawn.
"Oh oh, you still remembered big sister Yoimiya's path. Kirara is really smart~"
But clearly, coaxing Kirara was also very simple—just give her a little praise.
"Of course! I'm the most outstanding fox picked by you from the fox group!"
The old man fell silent for a moment.
Should he tell Kirara the truth that she was actually a cat?
Mm...
Forget it. There weren't many foxes who would always call him "Your Majesty." It was rare to have a cat calling him that, so no need to correct it.
Anyway, this cat was raised by him. When they went adventuring later, this cat would be his spiritual sustenance.
Thinking of how little Eula would have to leave later, the old man's hand uncontrollably reached out to rub Kirara's cat ears.
The world was broken and tattered; the cat patched it up bit by bit.
It was just...
Why was the old man always the one providing the lap pillow?
Had the roles been reversed?
Shouldn't the ones providing lap pillows usually be female characters?
The old man looked at catgirl Kirara, who was enjoying it so much that her eyes had narrowed into slits...
His own catgirl seemed to have zero guard up. He felt like there might be some strange developments later.
The cat's repayment... no, the fox's repayment lap-pillow chapter...
The very first scene would probably be Kirara thinking that a lap pillow was no big deal...
Looking at Kirara's cat ears twitching restlessly from her good mood, the old man still averted his gaze.
Sigh, unfortunately the old man was someone whose heart was not pure.
He had seen Theresa's book from Teacher Nagamune that contained forbidden knowledge about lap pillows...
Mm... so the ambiguity of lap pillows and such—better forget it.
The old man chose to wrestle with the darkness in his heart and forcibly cut off any strange ambiguous development in advance.
Ah, what a pity. If the old man followed the Seele's transformation style, lap pillows between girls would definitely be normal.
A true warrior isn't someone who fears nothing lewd, but someone who knows the lewdness is right in front and still chooses to refuse!
One must prevent and confront the darkness in their own heart ahead of time.
If he really chose the lap pillow, based on his understanding of his own desires...
His desires were like rolling stones on a high mountain—once they started, they could never stop.
The subsequent developments would definitely charge full speed in a certain direction...
Especially if he really wanted to act and could actually achieve that kind of development...
So from the very beginning, he had to use absolute—even destructive—rationality to suppress his own greed.
Especially something like lewdness—it was only suitable for both parties who had chosen to accompany each other for life.
Although it felt like this cat could probably foolishly accompany someone for life, but...
Looking at Kirara's pure appearance, wouldn't doing that be no different from deceiving a fool?
He could indeed do it, but did this cat even know what she was facing?
True companionship for life should be a choice made through deep emotional and rational consideration when both parties clearly understood the future. Once decided, it became a mutual vow to guard each other's world for a lifetime.
The old man nodded and decisively let go of that strange future fantasy.
Mm, today was another day of suppressing his filthy inner thoughts.
The old man reached out and gently rubbed Kirara's forehead with his finger.
"Your Majesty?"
Kirara looked at the old man rubbing her forehead, appearing very delighted. She also reached out, grabbed the old man's finger, and giggled foolishly.
Heh, this cat had absolutely no idea just how dangerous the old man had been moments ago.
The old man looked at Kirara's expression—she was happy for some reason, but just very happy.
Mm, a cat with someone to play with was a happy cat.
Looking at Kirara's joyful expression, the old man couldn't help but smile as well.
