I'll give my daughter one more second.

After much thought, for some reason, what lingered in Sanae's mind was the image of Mai and Amane, the two little girls Wu Shen brought with him when he last visited her shrine.

"A daughter... I wish I had a daughter too." Sanae murmured to herself, a bitter smile on her face.

In her opinion, having a daughter would make winning over Wu Shen much easier. Even if she confessed her feelings abruptly tomorrow, there was still a chance of success.

Sanae had always envied Yukino and Utaha. Compared to her daughter's cheat code, her own future memories were utterly pathetic.

Moreover, because of her memories of the future, she lost control of her emotions and made the wrong judgment. She kept pressuring Wu Shen, making him mistakenly believe that she wanted to fulfill the marriage contract in order to help her ancestors. As a result, he became wary and began to distance himself from her.

If she can calm down and take things one step at a time, she might be able to succeed like Nanami, who didn't rely on her daughter's steady counterattack strategy.

Of course, if she also had a future daughter, why was she so embarrassed in the last competition?

"A daughter, I really want a daughter..."

Sanae racked her brains but couldn't come up with a good way to deal with Yui and Miura tomorrow. In the end, she gave up and lay on the tatami floor like a salted fish.

"Does Mom want me?"

Just as Sanae was muttering to herself in a daze, a blurry little girl figure suddenly jumped out and floated in front of Sanae.

Sensing the impact of Wu Shenhe and Shizuka's unspeakable affair on the dream, Mi-ryu preemptively set up a barrier outside the dream, causing Yun-ying to temporarily lose control of the dream.

She herself infiltrated the area, intending to begin the comprehensive plan she and Tsukine had discussed.

Hearing Sanae's soft call, Mirin wanted to surprise her, so she unexpectedly jumped out.

However, what Mirin brought to Sanae was not a surprise, but a shock.

The sudden appearance of the little girl startled Sanae, who immediately got up from the ground.

"Who is it?! Is it a ghost?"

"Mom, I'm not a ghost! I'm the daughter you've been longing for!" Mirin said with a grin, twirling around Sanae playfully.

“Daughter!? Ah… I understand now, it must be because I’ve been thinking about her day and night that I’m having this hallucination.” Sanae gave a lonely, bitter smile.

"What's wrong with me? I'm even hallucinating. But these hallucinations are really realistic."

Sanae shook her head, trying to banish the hallucination from her mind, but Mirin's figure still lingered in the room.

Since she couldn't dispel the illusion, Sanae, with a touch of curiosity, began to observe what the "illusion" looked like. Although its form was somewhat blurry, Misuzu was still a beautifully sculpted little girl, wearing a miniature witch's outfit, with a mischievous and lively smile on her face, looking extremely cute.

"My imagination is so vivid! The daughter I imagined is so cute. Anyway, it's just a hallucination, so let's enjoy it while we can, hehehe."

After looking around and finding that there was no one except for the "illusion", Sanae immediately revealed a slightly infatuated expression and hugged Mirin tightly, rubbing against her.

"Mommy, I'm not hallucinating!" Although Wei Ling felt very comfortable being held by her mother, she pouted a little unhappily when she realized that her mother was treating her as a hallucination.

"Oh, my hallucination is so comforting, sweetie." Sanae said, starting to rub Misuzu's chubby little face.

At the same time, his other hand began to touch and grope the illusory figure of Mi-ryu.

"Haha...haha...Mommy, no, it tickles~~" Mirin blushed and hurriedly broke free from Sanae's caresses.

Now she is semi-physical and can be touched. In this state, her sense of touch is unexpectedly sensitive. Even a simple caress makes Wei Ling feel incredibly itchy and unable to control herself.

"Mom! Wake up! Look carefully, I am your real daughter! Although I'm still a little unsteady... I believe that as long as you unite with Dad, you can restore me to normal immediately!"

After finishing speaking, Wei Ling proudly raised her little head.

"Ugh, why am I indulging in such unrealistic fantasies? I know it's impossible." Sanae thought it was just a hallucination formed by her subconscious, so she started talking to herself, seemingly trying to convince herself.

"Is Mom worried that Dad will reject me? Don't worry about that, Mom. I have plenty of experience in helping Mom and Dad get together," Wei Ling said confidently, patting her chest.

Wei Ling is no joke about this. She has traveled to the future three times and has helped her parents get together at least twice. She is quite the experienced little matchmaker.

If Tsukine holds the secrets to clearing all routes, then Mirin is the expert who specializes in clearing Sanae's route. No matter the situation, she can successfully get her parents to give birth to her again.

"Once you've taken care of Dad's affairs, you can leave Mom to me with peace of mind. You're like a sturdy ship, I guarantee everything will be fine!" Wei Ling said confidently, giving a thumbs up.

"Really?" Sanae was overjoyed, but then she remembered something and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

What's the point of whether it's real or fake? It's just an illusion anyway. What am I even saying to this illusion?

Sanae patted her cheeks and decided to ignore the illusion in front of her from now on.

"Cheer up, Sanae! Don't let a hallucination go to your head!"

"Mom! I really am your daughter!" Mirin pouted and started waving her little mouth in front of Sanae.

"Hoo... Don't pay attention to illusions, don't pay attention to illusions. Out of sight, out of mind, all inner demons will crumble on their own!" Sanae took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged, and closed her eyes.

"I'm so angry! Why is Mom like this!" Mirin felt annoyed and tried to make a few faces in front of Sanae, but because Sanae had her eyes closed, she couldn't see Mirin's movements at all.

Then Mirin tried various other methods, but Sanae remained sitting there motionless, like an old monk in deep meditation.

"Tsk, I never thought dreams would cause such aftereffects. I should have learned the ecstasy massage technique from Dad." Wei Ling pouted, her limbs dangling in the air.

Even tickling had little effect on Sanae; it was probably only her father's ecstatic pleasure that could elicit a response from her mother.

"We have to get Mom to react. It's not just about making her realize she's not hallucinating anymore; if this continues, she might realize she's dreaming." Misuzu looked at Sanae, who seemed to have lost her train of thought, with a serious expression.

Neither Dad nor Mom are ordinary people; even Yun Ying couldn't keep them trapped in a dream forever. The reason they haven't broken free yet is because they haven't realized it's a dream.

If a father or mother suddenly realizes that this is actually just a gap between a dream and reality, they have a hundred ways to escape from it.

Sanae mistakenly believes that Mirin is hallucinating, which gives her an opportunity to calm down and dispel the illusion. If this continues, Sanae will dispel the dream before she dispels Mirin's "illusion".

Sanae is now showing signs of disconnecting from the dream server and going offline.

"What should we do? What should we do? How can we get Mom back online?"

Wei Ling tumbled and rolled in the air. Suddenly, an idea struck her. She stood up straight, her eyes darting around, as if she had a good idea.

"Waaah! Mommy doesn't want me anymore!" Mirin floated down from the sky and sat down not far from Sanae, pretending to cry.

The little girl's innocent cries were pitiful and heart-wrenching, filled with grievance and fear, just like a child abandoned by her mother. Just listening to her made people feel sorry for her and wanted to hold her in their arms and comfort her.

Sanae, who was usually unwavering and steadfast, trembled slightly upon hearing the intermittent crying.

"Calm down! This is just an illusion! Don't let it disturb your peace of mind!"

"Waaah... Mommy's ignoring me, Mommy really doesn't want me anymore... Waaah!" Seeing that she was getting a chance, Wei Ling took a deep breath and made her cries even louder and more sorrowful.

Hearing such a sound, Sanae finally couldn't bear it and slowly opened her eyes.

"Honey, Mommy isn't ignoring you. Don't cry, it's my fault."

Sanae stroked Mirin's little head, a sigh escaping her lips.

Well, if it's a hallucination, then so be it. Even if Sanae thought the little girl in front of her was just a hallucination, the sight of a girl who resembled her daughter crying like this made it impossible for her to ignore her.

"But I have to say, this illusion is really realistic. It even has a sense of touch. I guess I'm really hopeless. I'm going crazy thinking about my daughter." Sanae said to herself, stroking Mirin's hair.

"Luckily, I learned the self-cultivation of a movie star from my dad." Mirin wiped away her fake tears, turned her back to Sanae, and stuck out her soft pink tongue.

Although she still didn't make her mother realize that she wasn't hallucinating, Mi-rin was already quite satisfied that her mother hadn't noticed the fact that it was a dream.

When her father used to push her to learn various skills, Wei Ling was always lazy and would slack off in various ways, feeling unwilling and reluctant.

Now that she's facing difficulties, she realizes that learning more skills often has unexpected uses.

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have followed Chie and learned the 'ecstasy' style too," Misuzu thought to herself.

After her fake crying, Sanae no longer dared to ignore Mirin. Although she still treated her as an illusion, she began to talk to her again.

Sanae and Misuzu chatted for a few minutes. Just as Misuzu was thinking about how to make her mother realize her mistake, the sound of the shrine door opening came from the entrance.

"Phew... I'm exhausted. Dealing with things was such a hassle." Suwako seemed to have just finished dealing with some major, mentally taxing task, and immediately collapsed onto the tatami mat after returning.

“Ancestor, I’m so sorry to have troubled you this time,” Sanae said apologetically.

She knew that it was because her ancestors were preparing for tomorrow that she was so busy.

“No trouble at all. Isn’t this all for the happiness of our offspring? That boy is your fiancé, so you can rest assured, he won’t run away.” Suwako clenched her small hands, looking confident and assured.

"How are things going?"

"No problem, I've already found the right actress. So tomorrow we'll put on a heroic rescue scene, and everything will be... um?"

As Suwako was speaking, she suddenly saw something and turned her gaze to the right side of Sanae's sky.

"Ancestor, what are you looking at?" Sanae tilted her head, looking at her ancestor loli with some confusion.

Sanae turned her head to look at her right side, but there was nothing noteworthy there, except for the hallucination of her daughter.

"Sanae, where did you pick up this little girl? She looks just like you. Do I have other descendants?" Suwako stared wide-eyed at Misuzu in disbelief.

Mirin was also very excited. Right, how could she have forgotten about her ancestors! Since Sanae thought it was a hallucination, if others could also see her, wouldn't that prove to her mother that she really existed?

"Little loli? What little loli?" Sanae was slightly taken aback, her mind not quite processing it for a moment.

“This is the little girl!” Suwako said, pointing to Mirin floating in mid-air.

She tried to sense it, then nodded sharply: "Yes, that's right! She is indeed my descendant, I can feel the blood connection."

"That's really strange. According to my investigation, the only surviving descendant in my family is Sanae's lineage. Where did this little girl come from?" Suwako scratched her golden hair, looking completely bewildered.

"Ancestor, you can also see my illusions?" Sanae asked in surprise.

"What illusion? Isn't this a real loli? As expected of my descendant, she has learned the art of levitation at such a young age, enough to make Newton rise from his coffin. It's terrifying."

"Huh? Wait a minute..." Sanae covered her forehead with her hand, "The ancestor could also see Mirin's words, which means this isn't my hallucination!?"

"Mom, I've explained it so many times, do you finally believe I'm not hallucinating?" Mirin pressed her advantage and quickly moved closer to Sanae.

So, does that mean I have a daughter now?

"Yes, yes." Wei Ling's little head bobbed up and down like a pestle used to pound garlic.

"That's great!!" Sanae couldn't contain her excitement and hugged Mirin, who floated in front of her, feeling the warmth emanating from the illusory figure.

"As long as I have a daughter, those other vixens are no match for me!" Sanae happily held Mirin's two little hands and started spinning around the room.

"Mom, stop, I'm dizzy~~" After spinning around several times, Wei Ling's two bright, watery eyes turned into constantly spinning coil patterns.

After spinning around for a short while, Sanae stopped and hugged Misuzu back into her arms.

"Oppai, Oppai is covering her face..."

As Wei Ling was flailing her little hands and feet, she suddenly felt something wet and slippery fall onto the back of her neck.

"Mom? Why are you crying? You were just happy a moment ago..." Wei Ling looked up and saw that her mother's eyes were red and there were tears welling up in them.
