I just hope to live a leisurely life in the world of anime.

I've already made my will, and Weizhi will inherit everything. But Weizhi is still young, so please take good care of her. My company isn't very big, but if we're frugal, our assets are enough for you to live on for a lifetime. Please treat her well, treat her well... ugh..."

In his final moments of lucidity, he spoke for most of the time without stumbling.

The middle-aged man was about to say something, but there was no time left; an antenna had already emerged from his chest!

With his eyes wide open and his last breath, he roared, "Please treat Miori kindly! Ah—"

At this moment, he was completely infected—a giant mutated beetle!

An Shu sighed, looking at Sima Weizhi, who had slipped from his grasp and was now kneeling on the ground, sobbing softly. He raised his hand and pointed at the roaring beetle. Before the Gastrea, which had just appeared, could react, its enormous body gradually disintegrated, turning into specks of blue light.

Ultimately, if it weren't for the bloodstains on the ground, no one would believe that Gastrea had ever roamed this place.

"Cough cough cough!" An Shu reached out and wiped the corner of her mouth, where there was a little blood.

"Father, oh, Father!" Upon witnessing this astonishing scene, Sima Weizhi burst into tears, then her head lolled to the side and she fainted.

An Shu, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and scooped her up, preventing her from falling.

“Onii-chan…” An Tong tugged at his clothes, not daring to let go of his waist.

"It's okay, it's all over now," An Shu patted her head encouragingly.

"It looks like we can't leave today. We'll have to stay for another two days. Let's go back." An Shu glanced at the two little girls in her arms, wiped away Sima Weizhi's tears, and shook her head.

"Um……"

Chapter 5 is about Sima Weizhi!

"Hmm? Hmm?"

With a slight headache, Sima Weizhi rubbed her blurry eyes. "Where am I? Hmm..."

Suddenly she rolled over, as if remembering something, "That's right, Father, Father!"

creak-

Hearing the commotion downstairs, An Shu came up and opened the door. "Awake? Let's have some food first."

"Where is my father?" Sima Weizhi stared into his eyes and asked.

An Shu didn't answer her, but just shook her head and reached out to rub her head.

Sima Weizhi slapped An Shu's arm away and screamed, "I'm asking you, where's my father? Huh?"

Tears were already streaming down her cheeks.

The sudden increase in volume startled An Tong, who was following behind An Shu carrying bowls and chopsticks. She stumbled and almost fell.

“Your father… he’s gone to a very far place…” An Shu said, repeating the same old lie from those TV dramas she’d seen before. Staring at the girl in front of her, she felt a pang of heartache, even though they’d only known each other for less than a day.

Is it true that I have no resistance to cute little girls?

"Will he come back?" Sima Weizhi bit her lip. She knew, she knew everything. She wasn't stupid. She knew An Shu was lying to her, but she still hoped that what he said was true.

"Yes, he will! But you might have to live with us for a while before he comes back! Don't cry!" An Shu reached out again and touched her head.

This time, she didn't open it with her hands.

"Waaah...waaah..." Sima Weizhi wiped her tears with her sleeve, trying to cheer herself up.

"Tong-chan." An Shu waved to An Tong behind him, signaling her to come over.

An Tong handed over the bowl and chopsticks in her hand: "This was made by my brother, it's very delicious!"

"No, thank you, I'm not hungry."

"It's been a whole day, how can we not eat?" An Tong handed the bowl and chopsticks forward again.

Sima Weizhi neither spoke nor moved, but An Shu reached out and took it.

He picked up a handful of noodles with his chopsticks, blew on it, and said to Sima Weizhi, "Ah—"

Sima Weizhi didn't mean to act like a spoiled princess. Her initial rejection was probably because she was embarrassed, after all, they had only known each other for a short time.

He glanced at An Shu, took a small bite, and his expression changed, a rare occurrence.

Although it smells nothing special, once you take a bite, the noodles leave an extremely strong aroma of scallions as they slide across your lips and teeth. The broth clings to the noodles, making the already chewy noodles even easier to eat!

It was a bit salty, but combined with the original aroma of scallions, it strongly stimulated her taste buds. Sima Weizhi unconsciously took the bowl from An Shu's hand, took another bite, and then couldn't stop eating.

Simple noodles, cooked to perfection.

"My brother didn't feed me just now..." An Tong muttered enviously.

An Shu was taken aback, then leaned over and nuzzled her cheek, playfully pinching her little nose. "You!"

An Tong didn't say anything, but just hugged An Shu's neck and nuzzled back.

Sima Weizhi, who was watching them, put down her chopsticks and bowl, which she had already finished eating, and her face darkened.

Just then, An Tong, who was nuzzling An Shu's head, saw her expression, let go of An Shu with one hand, and pulled her into An Shu's arms as well, "We're family starting today!"

Looking at An Tong, who was clearly the youngest but acted like an older sister, An Shu was both amused and exasperated.

Sima Weizhi reacted even more strongly, shoving the two of them away. Her blushing face secretly glanced at An Shu, then turned to An Tong and said, "Idiot, don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"

An Tong tilted her head in confusion. Her mother hadn't taught her any of this. Fortunately, because she was a cursed child, no strange uncles were interested in her.

"Wait, wait... You don't think I'd be interested in a little kid like you, do you?" An Shu felt wronged.

"Who knows if you're a perverted lolicon..." Sima Weizhi's face turned even redder.

"I'm not a lolicon. According to our country's criminal law, it's illegal to have sex with girls under the age of 14... wait, wait..." An Shu bit the candy in her mouth. What country's law is this again? Oh well, it doesn't matter anymore.

"Anyway, I'm not a lolicon! How do you know about these things?" An Shu declared seriously.

Sima Weizhi didn't speak, but stared at him warily. Given the amazing methods he had shown, it seemed that if he wanted to forcibly violate her, she wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Thinking of An Shu's methods, she thought of her deceased father. She lowered her head, her eyes glistening with tears. Biting her lower lip, she stubbornly refused to let the tears fall. Her father, who had been strict with her, would never allow her to be so cowardly.

An Shu wasn't entirely an idiot. Seeing the kimono-clad loli's face darken, she took out a few more candies.

He extended his right index finger and gently touched her forehead, lifting her head up. He then handed her the candy in his left hand. "Ah—"

Sima Weizhi was taken aback, her eyes involuntarily drifting to the fingers pressing on her forehead, but she still obediently opened her small mouth.

An Shu withdrew her right hand, held the candy in her left hand, and stuffed it into her mouth. The moment her fingers touched her lips, she felt a tingling, electric-like sensation.

He then handed another candy to An Tong and ate one himself.

Because of his limited abilities, not eating candy to alleviate his physical ailments might cause him to cough to death, although he doesn't seem likely to die.

His right hand stroked the kimono-clad girl's head again, and he looked at her with a smile: "Everything will be alright!"

An Tong stepped forward and gently hugged Sima Weizhi, nuzzling her face against her chest: "Me and my brother are here too! My name is An Tong, my brother's name is An Shu, and are you Sima Weizhi?"

Sima Weizhi could no longer hold back and hugged An Tong, bursting into tears.

"She cried again!" An Shu scratched her head, looking somewhat troubled.

"Waaah...waaah, I didn't cry!" Sima Weizhi raised her sleeve, wiped away her tears, and pouted as she retorted.

With tears welling up in her eyes, a smile curved her lips, she blinked, and the tears she squeezed out traced her beauty mark. She closed her eyes and hugged An Tong tightly: "Yes, Tong-chan, I'm Sima Weizhi!"

Looking at the scene before her, An Shu sighed. They were all rare lolis, one with a dimple and the other with a beauty mark. Should she just raise them in the direction of yuri?

Never mind, after all, Hitomi-chan is my childhood sweetheart!

Wait, wait a minute!

I patted my head to clear my head, and feeling the candy in my mouth had melted, so I ate another one.

Where to go next?

"What should we do with those weapons, Miori-chan?"

"Wait for the Self-Defense Forces to come and get it." Sniffing her sore nose, Sima Miori said, "We sent a message to the Self-Defense Forces for help when we encountered that Gastrea, but we found that we couldn't get in touch with them at all!"

Even the backup number is like this, which means something unexpected must have happened at the front lines.

We agreed on a delivery date of tomorrow. If they find we haven't arrived, they should contact us; we just need to wait.

She felt around in her pocket and pulled out something that looked like a pager. "I still have the communicator with me."

Why not use the phone to call for help?

"The Self-Defense Forces are at the stone monument. The special magnetic field of the stone monument will interfere with the signal, so we can only use this kind of communicator."

Clearly, she was thinking of her father again. Sima Weizhi's eyes revealed complex emotions, including sorrow, hatred, and hope and confusion for the future.

An Shu reached out and wiped away the tears that were flowing from the kimono-clad girl again. She then pinched her cheek and forced a smile: "Everything will be alright! We'll stop doing this order after we finish it, okay?"

Following An Shu's hand, the kimono-clad girl forced a smile and shook her head: "No, Brother An Shu, I must make the Gastrea pay the price! I want everyone to use the weapons our family produces to destroy those monsters!"

An Shu stared into her eyes and saw only determination. She didn't try to dissuade her, after all, they had only just met.

He sighed again, patted her head, looked at the sunset outside the window and said, "You and Tongjiang will sleep in this room tonight. I'll make do on the sofa outside."

"You all go to bed early, I'm going to retrieve those weapons."

"How are you going to transport them back by yourself?" Sima Weizhi asked, somewhat puzzled.

An Shu smiled and said, "Like this."

With a wave of his hand, he created a small crack, took out a few candies and handed them to the two little girls. He patted their heads and then stepped out, disappearing from sight.

A moment of silence.

"Does Hitomi-chan also have this ability?" Sima Miori asked, turning her head.

“No, I was adopted by Brother Anshu yesterday.” An Tong shook her head.

"Eh? Adopted yesterday? Isn't Tong-chan An Shu-gege's biological sister?" Grabbing An Tong's silver hair, it didn't surprise Sima Weizhi, after all, one had black hair and the other had silver hair.

"No..." An Tong blushed and stammered, "But, but I am, I am Brother An Shu's, fiancée!" The little girl puffed out her flat chest.

…………

"Is that guy really a perverted lolicon?" Sima Weizhi thought silently, looking at the little loli in front of her.

"What about Hitomi's family? And what's wrong with Hitomi's eyes? Why does it seem like Hitomi can see?"

Although bandages were covering An Tong's eyes, Sima Weizhi could tell from her downturned lips that she definitely didn't want to answer these questions, so she quickly added, "It's okay if Tong-chan doesn't want to say!"

"No, it's alright. I am a cursed child. My father died at the hands of Gastrea long ago, and my mother committed suicide because she hated my eyes."
