“There are even more people attending the fireworks festival this year. I’ll have to…”

“Help how many people put on kimonos?”

… …

Five days later, in a hospital room on the outskirts of Kyoto.

“Cough cough cough…”

Lying on the hospital bed, Shinomia Ganan looked at Shinomiya Kaguya, who was wearing a light pink kimono, her hair styled up, and adorned with a huge red bow. Her entire appearance had both the youth and liveliness of a high school girl and the elegance of a Yamato Nadeshiko. Her beauty was like a painting. A smile couldn't help but appear on her sickly face, her eyes filled with nostalgia.

“Kaguya… you look more and more like your mother…”

“That's a real blessing.”

Yexing interjected from the side.

“It's a good thing Kaguya looks like her mother. If she looked like you, wouldn't that be the end?”

Hearing this, Shinomia Ganan, although each sentence cost him a lot of energy, still retorted somewhat unwillingly.

“When I… when I was as young as you, I wasn't any worse than you!”

“Yeah, right.”

Yexing waved his hand, obviously not believing Shinomia Ganan's outrageous words.

“If you said you were handsome when you were young, I might be half-convinced. You weren't any worse than me when you were young? Don't be funny. A famous person once said that anyone compared to Yexing seems inadequate.”

“Which famous person?”

“Kyoto's number one eroge shooter, the god of harems, the savior who saves the world.”

Shinomia Ganan: “…So, after all that, it's just your own evaluation of yourself?”

“It's the truth. Excessive modesty is vanity.”

“You kid…”

Shinomia Ganan was speechless and could only shake his head helplessly. He looked again at Shinomiya Kaguya, who was wearing a kimono, his eyes filled with tenderness.

“Kaguya… when you were little, I never took you to participate in these activities… Fortunately, now, you can pursue the life you want…”

“Father…”

“Hey, Yexing.”

“Father, your health…”

“I'm fine.”

Ignoring Shinomiya Kaguya's dissuasion, Shinomia Ganan struggled to get off the ground. From the bedside table next to the bed, he took out a small box and opened it. Inside was a delicate diamond necklace.

“This, give it to you.”

Seeing Shinomia Ganan walking up to him with the jewelry box containing the necklace, Yexing stood up and smiled slightly.

“Bribing me? This little bit, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?”

“Bribe you my foot.”

Shinomia Ganan replied unhappily, then looked at Shinomiya Kaguya, who was standing there in a kimono, and said meaningfully.

“I've already given you the most precious thing in my life. Do I still need to bribe you with a necklace? You underestimate me too much.”

“Then what is this…?”

“This necklace… is what I bought for her mother, Nayotake, before Kaguya was born.”

Mentioning the past events of more than ten years ago, Shinomia Ganan's eyes became a little sad, but he quickly adjusted his emotions. After gently placing the jewelry box containing the diamond necklace into Yexing's hand, he put his hands on Yexing's shoulders, looked directly into Yexing's eyes, and said solemnly.

“The meaning of transferring this thing to you is… you are the… future son-in-law recognized by me, Shinomia Ganan.”

Hearing Shinomia Ganan's words, Yexing put away his original frivolous smiling expression and nodded very seriously.

“Yeah, don't worry.”

“You kid, it's finally the first time I've seen you with a serious expression.”

Shinomia Ganan smiled and looked at Shinomiya Kaguya, who was blushing.

“Kaguya, I have taken the liberty of deciding that he is my future son-in-law. You shouldn't object, right?”

Shinomiya Kaguya pursed her lips, glanced at Yexing, and subconsciously made the action of stroking her left cheek with her right hand. However, this method of psychological suggestion had long lost its original effect when it came to matters concerning Yexing.

“Um… I don't object…”

Shinomia Ganan clearly heard Shinomiya Kaguya's answer, but deliberately pretended to look puzzled.

“Huh? What did you say? My ears haven't been working very well lately. Maybe it's because I'm getting old. Object?”

Hearing this, Shinomiya Kaguya hurriedly said anxiously.

“I said I don't object…”

When she was halfway through speaking, she noticed the smile on her father's face and realized that she had been teased. Her face flushed, she stomped her feet, and ran out of the ward in shame.

Looking at Shinomiya Kaguya's back, Shinomia Ganan showed a gratified smile of an old father, patted Yexing on the shoulder, and said earnestly.

“I don't know why, but I always feel that Kaguya, when she's with you… has that feeling of truly living as herself.”

Yexing nodded noncommittally and said softly.

“Maybe it's because in my eyes… Kaguya is just Kaguya.”

“Maybe that's the case.”

Shinomia Ganan smiled and patted Yexing on the back.

“Alright, don't waste your time here with an old man like me. As the hero who saved the world, you should go and enjoy the wonderful life of a high school student with them now.”

Yexing smiled and asked back: “Listening to you, does that mean you're a little lonely? How about you come with us to see the fireworks festival?”

“I'm not going.”

Shinomia Ganan waved his hand and yawned.

“My health is not good now. I need to rest early. If you really have the heart… then promise me to take a picture of Kaguya at the moment when the fireworks bloom and send it to me. I want to see her happy expression more.”

“Listening to you, does that mean…”

Yexing helped Shinomia Ganan lie back on the bed and then sat down on the chair next to the bed and said softly.

“Your time… should be running out?”

“See this?”

Shinomia Ganan pointed to the IV drip and replied with a smile.

“I'm already on the kind of painkiller they give you before you die. According to the doctor's estimate, I won't live until Kaguya starts school.”

“That is… there's less than a month left…”

Hearing Yexing's words, Shinomia Ganan raised his hand and waved it, staring at the ceiling of the ward, without any fear of death, but with a sense of relief as if he was finally about to be liberated.

“Actually… although death is unknown to me, it is not so scary… Of course, young people like you probably don't understand what I mean… And if I remember correctly… you told me last time that you people with special powers don't age and have no lifespan limit, right?”

“That's right.”

“That's great…”

“But Kaguya doesn't have it yet.”

“Ah?”

Hearing that his daughter had power but had not reached the realm of not aging and having no lifespan limit, Shinomia Ganan couldn't help but frown.

“Why? What's going on?”

Yexing asked back.

“Are you sure you want to listen? I'm afraid your heart can't take it.”

Shinomia Ganan replied nonchalantly.

“Tell me, I already know so many things, what else can't I accept?”

“Okay, here's how it is…”

… …

Five minutes later.

Shinomia Ganan looked at Yexing with a dazed expression, his pupils involuntarily dilated.

“You're saying… to get enhanced physical fitness and an unlimited lifespan, and a body that stops aging at a certain stage, you must… you must do that kind of thing with you!?”

“Heh heh, do you think I want to?”

Yexing frowned and replied righteously.

“That's right, I do feel good.”

Shinomia Ganan: “…So… Kaguya and you… haven't, haven't done that thing yet, right?”

“Yeah, not yet.”

“You guys…”

Shinomia Ganan didn't know what to say.

From a rational point of view, he certainly hoped that Kaguya, who had already awakened her power, could become stronger and stronger. After all, the world has become so crazy now, who knows if Shinomiya Kaguya will encounter any danger in the future?

But…

For him, as a father, to urge his future son-in-law to quickly do the right thing with his daughter… and to do it often, and do it a lot, wouldn't that be too strange?

How could he say that?

“Alright, alright, you go quickly.”

Shinomia Ganan waved his hand, wanting to say something but stopping.

“You two… oh well, anyway, looking at you, I won't say anything, see how you develop.”

“Okay, bye-bye.”

“Go quickly, go quickly.”

… …

After leaving the hospital building… although it was said to be a hospital building, there were no other patients in the entire hospital. All the doctors, nurses, and bodyguards existed to serve Shinomia Ganan, this one patient.

This is the strength of the Shinomia Group.

Seeing Yexing coming down, Shinomiya Kaguya, who was wearing a kimono, hurried forward and asked.

“You stayed up there with my father for so long, what did you talk about?”

“Nothing, I played a suona for your father, he was addicted to it.”

“You're just talking nonsense.”

Seeing Shinomiya Kaguya's obviously disbelieving appearance, Yexing didn't explain too much. After all, he couldn't directly say, I talked to your father about the principles of milk training, right?

“Yexing, long time no see.”

Yexing looked at Hayasaka Ai, who was also wearing a kimono, but unlike Kaguya's light pink, it was mainly bright yellow, with golden hair, giving her a more youthful, lively, and spicy girl temperament. His eyes swept over the other party's chest, and then he looked at Hayasaka Ai's eyes and commented with a smile.

“Sure enough, you are very suitable for wearing a kimono.”

“What do you mean, sure enough…”

Hayasaka Ai understood the implied meaning in Yexing's words, that he was saying that a certain part of her was relatively small, and couldn't help but chuckle and retort with her silver teeth.

“I… I have a very good figure!”

“Yeah, right.”

Yexing nodded, his attitude sincere.

“Except for a certain part being small, requiring the use of scientific pads, your figure is indeed very good.”

“You guy…”

Hayasaka Ai clenched her fists, looking like she was itching with anger but unable to refute.
