"Two Jiu Qi Jiu Yi 〤 Mountain Bar Liu Hiss——!"

The two-tailed kitten arched its back, letting out a threatening growl. The fur on its back and its two bushy tails stood on end, becoming twice as thick as before.

Those round, ruby-like cat eyes narrowed into dangerous vertical lines, fixed intently on the unidentified yellow creature frolicking on the ground, and began to gleam with a majestic golden light.

As a divine beast born from the planet and Li Qingyang's light, it has an instinctive, ingrained hostility towards the aura of monsters.

The little yellow dog that suddenly appeared in front of it, although it did not have the dark and evil aura of the monster that smelled so bad it could kill a cat last night, and it also had light, was still a monster in its perception!

However, what bad intentions could a puppy possibly have?

It just kept trying to climb onto Li Qingyang's bed, its front paws pawing at the sheets, whimpering and spinning around in a panic.

Sensing the hostility and murderous intent emanating from Mica, Gedi tilted his head, seemingly puzzled as to why his seemingly fluffy companion harbored such hostility towards him.

, Yiqi: The bird 1 Saner Jiuer It tentatively barked towards the mica.

"Waaaaah—!"

Mica's breath suddenly rose eight octaves, her body lowered even further, and her four feet faintly glowed with golden light, already poised to transform into a behemoth and pounce at any moment.

"Stop, stop, stop." Li Qingyang was at his wit's end. He quickly reached out and soothingly stroked the fur that was standing on end. "It's my dog, it's my dog, don't get excited."

He then looked at Gaddy on the ground, and pointed at him with a wry smile: "You stay put and don't move around."

The little yellow dog whimpered twice in grievance, but still obediently sat down.

What kind of nonsense is this?

One is his cat daughter, born from his radiance and the essence of the earth; the other is his dog son, whom he brought back from the Tiga timeline.

I thought having both a son and a daughter would be wonderful, but as soon as they met, the cat girl started hissing and threatened to kill the dog boy at the slightest provocation.

That won't do. If he, as the father, goes out to work overtime in other dimensions in the future, Earth will be relying on the two of them to protect it.

If they fight amongst themselves, how can they unite against external threats?

Li Qingyang deeply felt the weight of family education and was preparing to conduct a profound moral education for his two children.

Just then.

"Knock, knock."

A crisp, rhythmic knocking sound suddenly broke the silence of the quiet, luxurious bedroom.

The sound wasn't loud, but it instantly froze the atmosphere in the room.

Li Qingyang's prepared long speech got stuck in his throat, and he turned to look at the door.

Since it's not their own home, the person knocking must be either the owner or a servant of this mansion.

Whose house did the little ghost girl throw him into...? If there's no answer, then there really is...

Thinking of this, the black-haired boy felt somewhat helpless, then cleared his throat and responded towards the doorway.

"Please come in."

The doorknob was turned gently, and with a barely audible click, the door was silently pushed open.

A blonde girl dressed in a standard black and white maid outfit walked in.

Her smooth, long golden hair was tied into a side ponytail with a blue scrunchie, and her sea-blue eyes were calm and still, like two deep, undisturbed lakes.

Her steps were elegant and steady, the hem of her skirt swaying slightly with each movement, and the distance of each step seemed to have been precisely measured, without the slightest error.

Her gaze swept across the room, and she glanced casually at the small, all-yellow dog on the carpet.

She had just heard a few "woofs" on the listening device she had placed under the bed in the guest room. She thought it was just her hallucinations due to stress from not sleeping all night, but she never expected... there really was a dog.

Where did this come from?

Upon seeing the familiar figure, Li Qingyang's eye twitched slightly, and he gave a polite but somewhat awkward smile. "Uh... hello."

Wow, it really is you.

Kaguya Shinomiya's personal maid, Ai Hayasaka.

The blonde girl stopped a few steps away from the bed and gave him an impeccable ladylike bow, her voice steady and gentle, with professional politeness.

"Good morning, Mr. Li Qingyang. I am Hayasaka Ai, a servant of the Shinomiya family. I have come on Lady Kaguya's orders to check on your health..."

Not on the young lady's orders, this most fervent Zoffy fan in all of Tokyo had already lulled his beloved young lady into a deep sleep while in a daze after learning the truth last night.

They placed a listening device on the bed where the black-haired boy was resting and have been keeping watch without sleep since last night. As soon as they heard the sound of someone getting up on the monitor, they would immediately glide over there, just to give their idol the first greeting of the morning...

Ah... Lord Zoffy, I never imagined our connection started back when we were doing the lucky draw.

Speaking of which, Kaguya-sama already knew Zoffy's true identity back then, right? No... no, it should have been even earlier.

Before the monster directly attacked the Shinomiya Mansion, Lady Kaguya must have already seen the mistress by the window, which is why she asked that strange question about the number of people. At that time, she couldn't see the mistress and was completely unaware of the situation.

This left her completely confused when Kaguya-sama later asked her to help Lord Zoffy...

He didn't even tell her, who was like a sister, the truth that Li Qingyang was Zoffy...

What a mean child...

Hayasaka Ai inwardly grumbled about her young mistress sleeping peacefully in bed, but her face still wore that flawless professional smile, leaving no room for doubt.

She bowed slightly, her gaze seemingly casually sweeping over Li Qingyang's still somewhat sleepy expression.

"Judging from your appearance, you must have had a very tiring night."

Hayasaka Ai continued in a casual tone, her voice still gentle, "With such frequent high-intensity activities, your body must be quite fatigued. Fortunately, massage and muscle relaxation are essential skills for us servants of the Shinomiya family, and my technique is quite good."

She leaned forward slightly, her sea-blue eyes fixed on Li Qingyang, a perfect smile curving her lips.

"If possible, I hope to share your burdens and help you relax."

Li Qingyang: "......"

The polite smile froze on his face.

Damn it... You exposed his identity after just a few words? You didn't even reveal your dagger as quickly as you did with the map of Yan!

The first half sounded quite normal; it was just a maid showing concern and greetings to a guest, and he was still thinking about how to politely decline her kindness.

The final line, "Zoffy-sama," came like a depth charge, exploding right at zero frames.

He's trying to trick me! He's trying to ambush me! Is this a good thing for him, a guy who's practically thirty inside? No, it's not.

Moreover, Zoffy is no longer around; the suit is temporarily off the air, and whether he will have another chance to appear depends on whether he goes to the Land of Light in the future.

When Li Qingyang met the blonde girl's sea-blue eyes, he found that there was no longer any trace of the maid's calmness and professionalism in those eyes. Instead, there was a fervent adoration and worship as hot as lava, so bright that it almost set him on fire.

Sigh, it must be that cheeky little devil who spilled all his secrets...

"You know it, so you know it. Why did you have to try to test me in such a roundabout way?"

Li Qingyang sighed helplessly, but the stiffness on his face slowly relaxed, turning into a relieved smile. He said, "No need for the massage. Thank you for the grand prize. It's so kind of you to come all the way to Chiba to do this kind of underhanded thing, and even upgrade the apartment. That little ghost has really caused you and Shinomiya a lot of trouble."

"Huh?"

Hayasaka Ai's carefully prepared script of at least three pages of follow-up probing and clichés suddenly stalled, leaving her completely stunned.

Why was Li Qingyang's reaction completely different from what she expected?

There was no denial, no panic, not even the slightest attempt to cover it up; they just... admitted it?

Did they also mention the lottery and the mistress's affairs at the same time?

Wait, something's not right. Her perfect disguise back then was actually exposed?

"Eh, you don't deny it?" Hayasaka Ai asked instinctively, then suddenly realized something, and an unprecedented sense of horror appeared in her sea-blue pupils.

In those tokusatsu dramas, once the human host's identity is fully exposed, don't they all choose to quietly leave Earth to avoid endangering those around them...?

Could it be—

"Are you... are you planning to leave???" The blonde girl's voice trembled almost imperceptibly.

"Uh, no..." Li Qingyang waved his hand as he looked at her suddenly pale face.

Looking at Hayasaka Ai's expression of utter despair, he could roughly guess what she was thinking.

Since you and Kaguya Shinomiya are both connected to the little female ghost who is the will of the Loli Planet, you can be considered as one of our own. It's no big deal to reveal our identities in front of you.

Recalling the fleeting eye contact with the invisible gaze within the crystal, Li Qingyang's tone unconsciously lowered, "There are still some things to resolve, so I'm afraid I can't leave for the time being."

The voice just fell.

Hayasaka Ai's blue eyes suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented brilliance, dazzlingly bright.

She seemed to be injected with boundless energy; her stiff body instantly relaxed, and the corners of her mouth uncontrollably turned up wildly, almost stretching to her ears.

"That's great!"

The blonde girl blurted it out almost without thinking, her voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

She even unconsciously bounced lightly on the spot, her golden side ponytail drawing a joyful arc, her hands clenched into small fists in front of her chest, radiating an aura of ecstasy, completely different from the professional and composed maid she had just been.

Ah! Lord Zoffy won't leave! Lord Zoffy will continue to protect this world! Lord Zoffy will continue to protect me!

That immense sense of security and joy erupted like a flash flood, instantly shattering all her pretense.

Just a second later, Hayasaka Ai snapped back to reality, realizing her lapse in composure. Her porcelain-white face flushed a deep pink, and she hurriedly composed herself, clearing her throat as she tried to regain her professional composure. However, the smile that she couldn't hide in her eyes and brows betrayed her true feelings.

"I'm so sorry, I was a little out of line... Lord Zoffy, would you like to wash up and have a meal next? Or would you like me to offer you a massage to relax first...?"

Finally, the blonde maid's eyes gleamed with barely suppressed passion, and her slender, white fingers seemed to be itching to move...

Li Qingyang's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly. "Don't call me Lord Zoffy, no need for honorifics, just call me by my name. I don't need a massage either, I need to go back to Chiba later..."

"Eh..." Hayasaka Ai's cherry-pink lips trailed off, her disappointment barely concealed, as if her bones had been removed. "Aren't you going to stay here?"

Then nothing I say will work...

Li Qingyang watched her series of reactions, which resembled a Sichuan opera face-changing act, and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Is this a fan meeting...?

He suddenly realized something, and his gaze shifted slightly to the air beside him.

The space there trembled slightly, creating an invisible ripple.

A vibrant red shadow appeared out of thin air and quickly solidified into shape.

The little girl in the red dress, with her bare, snow-white feet, appeared silently beside him, radiating a soft glow. She reached out her small hand and gently grasped Li Qingyang's fingertips, then looked up with her dark eyes and spoke softly.

"Qingyang, welcome back."

The ethereal and clear loli voice is as healing as ever.

Li Qingyang smiled, raised his chin, and gestured towards the ground, "I'm back, and I brought a little dog back to guard the house."

The little girl in the red dress followed his gaze and saw the little yellow dog. Her delicate, beautiful face remained expressionless, but her eyes softened.

The little yellow dog, Gaddy, stuck out its tongue. When it saw the little girl in the red dress looking at it, it wagged its tail even more enthusiastically, making a silly, happy sound.

The little girl in the red dress flashed and appeared in front of Gedi. She squatted down, stretched out her fair little hand, and gently stroked Gedi's fluffy head.

Gedi squinted comfortably, letting out a satisfied hum, and nuzzled her palm with his head.

"Good dog."

The ethereal and clear Chinese loli voice rang out again.

"Call me Mom."

Li Qingyang: "......"

Gedi stuck out his tongue. Although he didn't understand Chinese, he was happy to be petted on the head, so he responded enthusiastically, "Woof woof!"

Hayasaka Ai, who had been trying her best to maintain the perfect maid demeanor, immediately suppressed all her outward emotions the moment she saw the little girl in the red dress appear. She took a step forward and bowed her head respectfully.

"Good morning, Madam."

A gentle consciousness flowed into her mind, and Hayasaka Ai was slightly taken aback.

【Don't put pressure on Kaguya, okay? Love.】

"......???"

A question mark slowly appeared on Li Qingyang's forehead.

He turned his head and looked at the blonde maid who was bowing respectfully beside him with an extremely incredulous expression.
