Muzan: My daughter can't be that weak!

Back on track, she continued to hold the puppy and carefully introduce each of her friends in the room to it, one by one.

Cloth tigers, kites, and even the small green plant by the window.

The puppy seems to be very intelligent and understanding.

Every time Xuena points to a doll or object, it turns its little head, its bright black eyes looking at it curiously, its ears twitching slightly, and it makes a soft "woo-woo" sound in its throat.

It's as if they're trying to remember these new faces.

"...Oh, and one more thing."

After introducing everyone, Xue Nai lowered her head and gently pressed her forehead against the puppy's forehead, her tone exceptionally serious.

"And then there's my most important, most important ghost, whom I want to introduce to you."

The puppy immediately perked up its ears.

"It's my dad!"

"The tallest, best-looking one you saw in the alley last time! Dad... he can be a bit fierce sometimes, and his words aren't always pleasant, but Dad is the best..."

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly exclaimed "Ah!"

It was as if he had just remembered something important.

"Oh, right! I haven't named you yet!"

She held the puppy up to her eyes and stared at it.

"I thought about it for a while, Little Yellow? Ah Yellow? Hmm...neither of them feel special enough..."

She's her little dog, so she needs a unique name!

Now is the perfect time.

"Your dad can name you!"

"My dad is so amazing, the name he chose must be amazing too! Maybe it'll be some super impressive or super nice-sounding name!"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the idea was perfect.

Completely ignoring the memory of her father's undisguised dislike for the dog.

In Xue Nai's mind, her father was almost a synonym for omnipotence. Choosing a name was definitely a piece of cake for him!

Besides, letting Dad name the puppy means he's officially accepted it...

She held the puppy up, its limbs flailing gently in the air, a soft whimper escaping its throat, its dark eyes gazing at her with wetness.

In the dog's mind, this little two-legged creature is its master.

The name... should also be given by her.

That aloof, large two-legged creature that made it want to bare its teeth?

No way!

Yukina, of course, had no idea what the puppy was thinking. Once she made up her mind, she acted immediately and started calling for Muzan the next second.

"Daddy, Daddy~~"

"Dad, what are you doing right now? Do you have some free time?"

"Daddy, Daddy~~?"

She waited for a while, but there was complete silence on the other end of her mind, not even a ripple of echo.

"Why are you ignoring me again...?"

Xue Nai scratched her head in confusion and muttered to herself.

Is Dad busy?

Did I upset him again?

She tried hard to recall, but it didn't seem like she did...

"Daddy~"

"Shut up!"

The other side responded coldly.

"Daddy, I didn't use my mouth, I called out to Daddy in my head..."

The other side remained silent.

"Don't contact me in any way! Now! Immediately!"

However, it seems that Yukina has gradually figured out a way to get along with Muzan.

If Dad really doesn't want to talk to me, he can simply cut off the connection or completely block me out.

But the fact that he can still reply so fiercely shows that...

Ah!

This means Dad's mouth is starting to stick to his guns again!

"Oh, I heard you! So you're not contacting Daddy? Well, Yukina misses you. Can I come see you now?"

She responded, but did not agree to the unfriendly remark.

"Can't!"

The rejection was swift and decisive.

"Is Dad busy with something important?"

"Well... how about I come find you after Daddy's done with work? I have something to do..."

"Oh."

"I'm not your father, and I'm not exactly blessed with good fortune, so don't bother me."

Whenever Muzan recalled the scene he had just seen in Kokushibo's memories, and didn't even want to examine the idiot's memories, a nameless rage would rise within him.

He had painstakingly kept her by his side for hundreds of years, giving her strength and tolerating her clumsiness, yet he still didn't expect her to find flowers.

The results of it?

She smiles happily in front of others, but cries in front of herself. Now, she doesn't even refute being mistaken for someone else's daughter.

Yukina was taken aback by this sudden and completely nonsensical mockery, her little face full of confusion.

Good fortune?

What is Dad saying?

She is my own father, my biological father!

But without thinking it over, when she heard her father deny that she was blessed, a surge of anxiety immediately welled up inside her, and she mentally refuted him without hesitation:

"Xue Nai only has one father, Daddy, and Daddy isn't allowed to say that about himself. Daddy is the most blessed person in the whole world!"

"Xue Nai wants to give all her good fortune to Daddy!!"

On the other end of consciousness, Muzan paused slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile.

Then his expression immediately changed, and he sneered.

What does this idiot think good fortune is?

Candy can be given away freely?

But the inexplicable irritation that was stuck in my chest was strangely dissipated a little by the idiot's unreasonable rebuttal and promises.

It's like punching soft cotton; most of the force is dissipated, leaving only a slight, awkward feeling of having nowhere to land.

But he would never show it.

"……snort."

"With your kind of good fortune, who cares?"

This kind of thing is ethereal and meaningless.

Only an idiot would believe that, talking as if he could really give it to someone.

Besides, does Kibutsuji Muzan even need something like this?

It's ridiculous.

He lived in the world in pursuit of eternity and perfection, relying on absolute power, immortal life, and a will that transcends all things.

Good fortune.

That's just an excuse the weak use to comfort themselves and explain the impermanence of life.

If there is such a thing as good fortune in this world, then the good fortune in this world is too thin and shallow, and is simply not worthy of, nor lucky enough to possess, Kibutsuji Muzan.

He himself is a unique being that transcends all definitions of blessing.

Meanwhile, Nakime, located in another part of the Infinite Castle, lightly touched the strings with her fingertips, sensing various parts of the Infinite Castle.

Just then, an order came through:

"Nakime, bring that idiot over here."

It is Lord Muzan.

"Yes, ma'am."

Nothing that happened within the Infinite Castle escaped Nakime's perception.

Not long ago, the sound of porcelain shattering came from the direction where Lord Muzan was.

At this moment, it seems that Lord Muzan's emotions have not been fully calmed down, yet he suddenly orders that Miss Yukina be summoned over...

A hint of worry flashed across Nakime's face.

But it quickly dissipated.

As an observer, she saw things more clearly than those directly involved.

Although Muzan always says things like "idiot," "fool," and "trouble," he often acts impatiently and even harshly.

However, centuries have already proven its attitude.

Words may be deceiving, but choices and actions made over a long period of time are more persuasive than any words.

She was overthinking it.
