'My daughter's wish is a bit outrageous!'
'A dragon, is that considered a pet!?'
'When you say dragon, you don't mean a lizard, do you?'
"Ahem, my dear daughter, Daddy might not have heard clearly. Are you sure you want to raise a dragon?"
"Yes! Dragons are so cool! Especially that little white dragon, it's very beautiful."
Hisui indeed hadn't misspoken; she was even very excited, specifying the one she wanted. (T/N: Changing Xiao Qi to Hisui, since I thought she might be important character and sounding Chinese would seem strange.)
Hearing this, Kaito couldn't help but look at Yunyun, who had walked up beside him. (T/N: Changing Xiao Yunyun to just Yunyun.)
"Yunyun, my senior, what do you think about this?"
"...TikTok is really harmful!"
"Good grief, I understand."
Hisui had a touch-screen smartwatch. Its functions were so luxurious it could be used as a phone, and it could even be used to play games like Honor of Kings!
Although the screen was indeed a bit small, it was just right for Hisui's little hands.
Since this smartwatch was no different from a phone, it could download some adapted software. Especially mainstream software, so it was normal for Hisui to download TikTok through various ads.
After all, there were really too many ads; some were even unavoidable. With one accidental touch, it would automatically download and install, and the whole process ran in the background without you even seeing it.
Sometimes, when you opened your phone, you wouldn't even know when you downloaded the software.
Helpless, Kaito could only carry Hisui to the sofa and sit down, then take off his daughter's smartwatch to operate it.
He hadn't fully understood this watch before, but it looked like a product worth nearly ten thousand.
After a simple operation, he indeed saw various mainstream software, such as Messenger, Browser, Youtube, as well as Webnovel and TikTok.
Kaito opened TikTok, checked the liked videos, and sure enough, saw a streamer introducing the pets they raised.
After opening it, good grief, this CG animation was really realistic!
After looking at the streamer's homepage introduction, it as expected turned out to be someone seeking commercial cooperation. He deliberately used raising a dragon as a gimmick to spread the word.
As the saying goes, being popular for being controversial is still being popular. Those who know will naturally know this is CG; those who don't will directly criticize him. Gradually, he became famous for it.
It must be said, the dragons he raised were indeed very realistic, no wonder he specialized in CG special effects.
Not only did he have the young white dragon Hisui mentioned, but also fierce Western fire-breathing dragons, etc.
No wonder his daughter said she wanted to raise a dragon.
Although she was smart, there were still many things she didn't know.
For example, common sense that you need to learn when you're older; she hadn't learned that yet, so she mistakenly thought it was a real dragon.
"My dear daughter, actually this is fake. The video is a kind of animation special effect, just like the ultimate moves the characters in anime release. Those so-called ultimate moves are special effects."
"Special effects? The ultimate moves the characters in anime release?"
Hisui thought seriously for a moment, but still found it hard to believe.
Because raising a dragon had become her dream, and she had waited until now to say it. You can see how much she longs to raise a dragon.
"Dad, are there really no dragons in this world? But some of the Chinese storybooks I read say that in ancient times, dragons appeared often."
"They even say we are all descendants of dragons!"
...
'Ah, this...'
'Ahem, ahem, ahem, I've never raised a child before. I really have no experience.'
For a moment, Kaito was stumped and didn't know how to explain.
Really, explaining this was too troublesome! He would have to explain carefully for her to slowly understand.
"There are no dragons; those were all made up by the ancients."
"But..."
"Ahem, my good daughter, besides a dragon, what other pet would you like to raise?"
"A nine-tailed fox!"
"???"
Quickly scroll through the streamer's previous videos; damn, sure enough, there was a beautiful nine-tailed fox.
'Ah, jeez!'
'TikTok is the real culprit that harms children's knowledge and values!!!'
'Look at what my daughter's wishes are; first a dragon, then a nine-tailed fox. Next, she'll probably want a phoenix!?'
"Actually... nine-tailed foxes don't exist either, but foxes do!"
Kaito took out his phone and searched for pictures of foxes on the browser. As soon as Hisui saw them, she immediately frowned, looking very disgusted. Only the young white fox looked a bit better.
Regular foxes are ugly!
"Dad, I want a nine-tailed fox! And this one-tailed fox isn't pretty or cute. Raising it would be worse than raising a white cat! Grandma said foxes are very, very smelly!"
'Well, foxes do indeed emit a very pungent odor.'
Kaito was also troubled. His daughter's pet wish seemed to be only dragons and nine-tailed foxes.
'What to do?' Kaito could only exchange blank looks with Yunyun, thinking in his heart whether he could pull these two kinds of pets from the Gacha tonight.
What if?
After all, the Gacha system was omnipotent!
You can't think of something it doesn't have!
"Oh my, what's wrong, Hisui?"
Baal happened to come out of the kitchen, carrying a fruit platter prepared as a snack with her sister Beelzebul.
Seeing Hisui with tears in her eyes, Baal became curious.
"Mm... I want to raise a dragon or a nine-tailed fox, but Dad says they're all fake..."
"A dragon and a nine-tailed fox?"
Baal couldn't help but chuckle softly. Having knowledge of this world, she naturally knew these things couldn't exist. Beelzebul, who now had some common knowledge, was also speechless.
However, the Raiden sisters both thought of the same thing.
Just because they don't exist in this world doesn't mean they don't exist at all!
In their original world, there really were dragons and nine-tailed foxes!
But dragons were more troublesome; besides, their size was too large. Even dragon cubs were huge enough, so raising a dragon was simply impractical.
A nine-tailed fox?
Hmm...
Coincidentally, they also happened to 'raise' a 'nine-tailed fox'!
Well, that is, their familiar, Yae Miko!
"Sister, can you bring people here?"
"It seems... maybe it's possible? If I let her hold my hand?"
The two of them thinking the same thing, so when Baal asked, her younger sister Beelzebul immediately knew what to do.
Since Hisui wanted to raise a nine-tailed fox, why not just bring Yae Miko here?
You know, in the past, when Yae Miko was a little pink fox, she was really quite cute.
As for now...
Baal didn't know the situation, but Beelzebul was hesitant.
Because that woman is really asking for a beating.
After the Raiden Shogun puppet appeared, Yae Miko would occasionally make sarcastic remarks in front of the Raiden Shogun. And Beelzebul, in the Plane of Euthymia, could naturally hear her!
