Chapter 15: The Reason Why Cat Lady Always Gets Seen Through!
(I did a whole day of experiments, and I returned to the dormitory at night, so the update was a little late, please forgive me~)
It's a quadrangle-like house deep in the woods at the foot of Enzo Mountain in Fuyuki City, and no one knows that there will be such a place in the depths of this woods, but this is also because those who can get here are blocked by the environment that can easily get lost outside.

The weather here is very nice, and if you listen closely, you can hear some frolicking sounds very clearly, and the source of this is easy to tell that it is some very young children.
There were about seven or eight children, none of whom looked to be more than ten years old, some of the boys were playing what was supposed to be a fighting game, holding branches as swords, fighting around, while others who liked to be quiet were sitting on a small bench around a middle-aged man, smiling softly, and telling them stories.
"Daddy~ Daddy~ That fairy sister woke up~ I just saw her cute tail move!"
At this time, a somewhat noisy voice broke the seemingly harmonious scene here, but no one was dissatisfied with it, after all, it was a lovely girl and a benefactor, and as the only one who could be called was naturally the middle-aged man, he stopped the story, closed the book in his hand, and looked at the girl who came in a hurry with some helpless smiles.
The long hair of the golden natural curly shawl is very beautiful in the sunlight, and the face that is so innocent that he almost does not know what good and evil is, makes the word "angel" appear in the hearts of the people who see it, and after approaching with small steps, he saw that the man had noticed him, and jumped over without hesitation.
It's the same as the countless times before, the girl was caught steadily, but the middle-aged man shook his head, then sighed helplessly, stretched out a hand, and rubbed the girl's head, a little blamed, but more spoiled.
"How many times have I told you, Edge, your health is not good, this time it's only been a few days, just so naughty......" The middle-aged man said in an unintimidating tone to his young and innocent daughter.
"I believe my dad will catch me! Aki, I won't get hurt! With an innocent smile on her face, the girl held her hands flat as if she were saying something great, comical but incomparably real.
"Aki...... Ah~ Little Ageie, did you just say that the cute child woke up? Then take me to see it, Mrs. San, you take everyone to play for a while, and I'll go see the child that Aiqi brought back, be obedient~"
The man's expression couldn't help but dim a little after seeing his daughter's performance, but immediately, he returned to that gentle appearance, smoothed his daughter's hair, smiled at her and said, he didn't want to say anything more.
And the little girl named Aiqi will not notice such "complicated" emotions, she only knows that the person in front of her is her dearest, and she is also the person who can be trusted, because it is her father......
The man turned his head to the side of a boy who looked older, and made some orders to him, and it was obvious that for this kind middle-aged man, even if he didn't give orders, he would definitely be obedient.
"Got it, Mr. Ken, you can go, we'll all stay here, and besides, it's time for us to study some too, if we don't study for too long, we'll forget it!" The boy looked up and said respectfully to the good man in front of him who had been teaching them these orphans.
"Hehe~ Then, it's hard for you~" The man raised his right hand and put it on the mature boy's head, rubbed it twice with a little force, looking very loving, and then let his daughter sit on his relatively wide shoulders and walked down the corridor towards the deep room.
……
After hearing a young voice, Sakura knew that her original plan to wait and see what happened was now impossible to implement, but fortunately, she also simply opened her eyes and looked at the beautiful girl who made the sound, and at the same time quickly made some judgments in her heart, confirmed some at the same time, and had some doubts.
Looking at the innocent girl not far away, just when Sakura judged her best strategy now, the girl showed a very happy expression, and ran out of the house directly, loudly announcing to someone that she was awake, and it was also at this time that Sakura noticed some other movements outside.
After the girl disappeared, Sakura directly stretched out her hand and touched the very flexible tail behind her, and then realized that her hearing was much stronger than before should also be the effect of the extra pair of cat ears on her head......
Of course, this is just a moment of thinking, but at this time her heart is full of vigilance, although the girl is a little strange, but she will not be afraid that she can figure it out, and the "father" in her mouth is not the same, you can judge by listening to the voice, it should be an adult.
As an adult, no matter how abnormal it is, it can't be a guy with any intellectual defects to have such a daughter, and such a guy will take in his "alien" without any precautions or normal measures......
In addition, the anomaly that was judged from this residence before, the owner here is really not a simple character, at this time, Sakura has already prepared for the worst in her heart, if it is really as she thinks, then the remaining B-rank exchange can only be used for the worst option.
In a moment, the person she was waiting for also appeared in front of her, but it was not the same as expected, this guy who appeared seemed unexpectedly harmless to humans and animals.
A very abnormal short light gray hair, no sharp eyes, a very ordinary black outfit, with a kind smile on his face that makes Sakura feel a little dazzling, and the action of his hand protecting his daughter sitting on his shoulder shows that he is just a "stupid father".
But......
This kind of falsehood is not uncommon in her own memory, Sakura knows this clearly, she has a lot of experience, she has already understood, a lot of the darkness hidden under the light in this world is just the darkness that makes little difference, so her vigilance has not decreased at all, on the contrary, in her opinion, the disguised guy who understands is more dangerous.
"Little guy~ Don't make this expression like seeing a tiger, although it's beautiful, but I don't want to be mistaken as a bad guy by the cute kitten~" The smile on the man's face remained unchanged, and he turned his gaze from his daughter to Sakura.
“?!” Sakura was a little surprised that the other party could see her hostility, after all, she was pure without any emotion just now, this is a habit she has long developed, and it is a "talent" that even her "father" Tosaka Toshitomi does not perceive, or rather, can the other party read his mind without any action?
"Don't be nervous~ I don't know what I've experienced, you should only be about four years old, but you can suppress your emotions like this, but I really don't have any hostility~ Of course I can't see through your mind."
'You still say you can't read minds?! This guy! It's dangerous! Sakura's heart jumped when she heard the other man's words.
"Of course I can't read minds, I can just guess what you think, after all, I've had cats before, and because of Aki, I don't know a lot about those cute little guys~"
The middle-aged man showed a very hearty smile on his face, and said to Sakura with a smile, and his gaze clearly told Sakura that he was the culprit of the leakage of his thoughts......
Sakura's wagging tail and jiggling cat ears......
Although she was able to control these two "parts" that Sakura thought was very annoying, she was able to control them naturally, but in the end, she obeyed instinct control, and her mood and thoughts were easily revealed.
The next moment, after Sakura realized that she had betrayed her guy, she directly grabbed her cat's tail and pressed it on the soft bed, so that it no longer had any special reactions, and as for the ears, it could be deliberately controlled......
Without any reply, Sakura swept her gaze towards the middle-aged man without any emotion, because, no matter what, just from the previous points, it can be judged that the person in front of her is definitely not ordinary.
"Heh~hehe~ It's really interesting little guy~" After noticing Sakura's movements, the man didn't get angry, but showed some special expressions, different from the previous warmth, with a fanatical look that belonged to the magician, however, he immediately returned to his original appearance.
"I'm sorry, it's a bit of a gaffe, after all, it's an occupational disease left over from the past, and from the look of the little guy, it's not a lost child who doesn't know anything, my name is Ken, and I used to be a magician with some strength~"
To Sakura's surprise, the man in front of him introduced himself very cheerfully, and his "honesty" was just a known thing in Sakura's opinion, and there was no need to respond, but such an attitude also made Sakura's hand that was holding the sheet loose slightly.
"But now, I'm just a father who wants to watch his daughter grow up healthy, I'm not, no, no, I should say, I've found something more important than the Demon Dao, well, I've said so much, shouldn't you introduce yourself, little guy?"
“……”
Sakura knew that being silent at a time like this might be an opportunity to get something more.
"What a smart little guy~ It seems that it is not unreasonable to be able to escape from the hands of a mediocre magician who transformed you into such a mediocre magician~ However, how can I be considerate of me, an elder who has never drunk a sip of water after saying so much~ At least, let me know what to call it~"
Ken narrowed his eyes slightly, showed a somewhat helpless and conniving smile, and said to Sakura, who was silent for a moment, and after thinking about it, slowly spoke.
"Sakura, my name."
