Muzan: My daughter can't be that weak!

"Yukina, turn around quickly~"

Doma didn't understand why she had turned her back again, so he reached out and pressed her small shoulders, and with a little force, he turned her around.

He bent down, blinked in confusion, and carefully examined her flushed face.

"Oh my, why is your face so red? It's like an apple."

Yukina lowered her head, her toes unconsciously shuffling on the ground, and said softly, "It's a little hot..."

She would never admit that she was blushing because she felt ashamed of how stupid she had just been!

"Oh, I see."

Doma nodded, readily accepting the explanation.

Even though demons are cold, if Yukina says she's hot, then she must be hot.

Yukina took a deep breath, trying to break free from the awkward atmosphere.

She looked up, gave Doma a polite smile, and wanted to quickly turn the page.

Just as she opened her mouth, a very soft sound was heard.

A small, white thing fell out of her mouth and landed on the smooth wooden floor.

Xue Nai's smile froze on her face as she stared blankly down at the scene.

It was her front tooth that had been wobbling for a long time.

"what!"

She gasped briefly, forgetting all about being shy, and quickly squatted down, carefully picking up the small tooth that still had a little blood on it and holding it in her palm.

She held the tooth, grumbling reluctantly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tooth, I'm growing new teeth now. I'll remember you..."

After saying goodbye, she immediately raised her head and looked at Doma expectantly, pointing with her little hand to the empty, slightly drafty spot in her mouth, her eyes sparkling.

Look, my tooth has fallen out.

Now new ones should grow, just like Uncle Doma did just now, growing out all at once.

She waited with full confidence.

One second, two seconds...

Aside from a slightly empty, strange feeling in my mouth and a subtle taste of blood, there was no change.

No new teeth have come in.

Expectation slowly turned into doubt, and then a little anxiety.

She carefully inserted her finger into the gap in her gum, touched the smooth opening, and waited expectantly for a while, but nothing happened.

Yukina frowned in confusion, looked up at Doma, and because she was missing a front tooth, her speech was a little lisping and her voice was somewhat unclear.

"Doma Susu, why hasn't it grown yet?"

As she asked, she pointed to her mouth, her little face clearly showing her thought, "Why is it different from what we agreed on?"

She's a ghost!

Doma watched her series of actions with great interest.

Hearing her lisp, his colorful eyes crinkled into a smile, finding it quite amusing.

"Huh? It hasn't grown yet?"

He leaned closer and examined her small wound more carefully. "Oh dear, it's probably because Yukina's recovery ability isn't as strong as mine."

He gently tapped his cheek with his fan.

"But it's okay, after all, not every ghost is as smart and strong as me. Yukina is such a good girl, her new teeth will definitely grow in soon! Maybe after playing for a while, they'll pop out on their own and surprise you!"

"Really?"

Xue Nai was skeptical.

"Of course!"

Doma nodded with a smile, and took the opportunity to gently rub her soft hair.

"So don't rush, just wait and see. In the meantime, Yukina, would you like to come with me to see the food I prepared? Or, shall we continue playing games for a while longer?"

After hearing this, Yukina subconsciously felt that the food Doma was talking about was probably human food. She was about to say that her father told her that she didn't need to eat human food.

But then I thought, Uncle Doma is also a demon, so the food he's talking about might be blood.

She quickly shook her head and waved her little hand, "Thank you, Domo Susu, but I'm not hungry right now."

She didn't really like the taste of blood, and besides, she wasn't actually hungry at the moment.

The pronunciation of "missing a front tooth" is somewhat comical.

"Ah, okay, okay~"

Douma's tone revealed regret. He gently rested his chin on his golden fan and blinked his seven-colored eyes.

"If you get hungry next time, you can come find Uncle Doma anytime. I have lots and lots of food prepared."

Yukina doesn't seem to be very strong in combat; she probably can't even hunt for herself.

That's really worrying.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something interesting, his eyes lit up, and his tone became curious:

"By the way, when was Yukina born?"

Why was Muzan able to have children after becoming a demon?

Is there no such thing as reproductive isolation between humans and ghosts?

That really piques the ghost's curiosity.

Of course, he naturally ruled out the possibility that Setsuna was born during Muzan's human or other time periods.

After all, in his eyes, Yukina was clearly a newly transformed demon, how could she have lived for hundreds of years?

"When did you leave the forest?"

Yukina was taken aback by his sudden question. She tilted her head and began to think about it seriously.

A moment later, her eyes lit up.

"Mom said I came out of the forest in winter! And it snowed a lot that day!"

She started counting on her thin fingers: "So I should be... um? How much trash have I swept up? How much trash have I actually swept up?"

After counting a few times, Yukina lowered her small hands in frustration, looked up at Doma with a helpless and embarrassed expression, and lowered her voice.

"Doma Susu, I don't think I can do math..."

Doma was amused by her comment about sweeping things up.

Then he tapped his palm with the golden fan, his tone light and even slightly admiring:

"Born in winter, and with heavy snow falling, what a beautiful birth scene!"

"But it's okay if you can't do math. Ghosts don't get old. Like Uncle Doma, it's been a long time since I've had to do something as troublesome as calculating my exact age."

"Anyway, for ghosts, time is so plentiful it's almost boring."

"Only humans who are about to die would be in such a hurry to calculate how many days or years they have lived."

His smile remained unchanged, and he spoke the second half of the sentence in a cheerful tone:

"Little Yukina must have been born recently, right? She looks like she's six or seven years old, so cute!"

Newborn?

Xue Nai thought about it carefully.

Although I sleep a lot, I'm not that small.

Come to think of it, she seems to be quite an old ghost!

Thinking of this, she tilted her head and corrected herself very seriously: "It's not that I just came out of the forest, I've been sleeping for a very, very long time, and I'm a very, very old ghost."

"Wow! It's an old ghost, that sounds really impressive!"

Doma blinked, his interest piqued. "How long? A few months? Or a few years?"

He guessed that for a little kid, a few years was indeed a long time.
