My wife is the stand-in.

But Amanosaki didn't show any disappointment; instead, he had an expression that said, "You said it yourself, I hope you can do it."

Lin Shuyu didn't know what this decision meant, but in any case, through this arbitrary decision, she successfully intruded into Amanosaki's life.

This is a qualitative leap.

Today, the relationship between Lin Shuyu and Amanosaki has become more than just that of colleagues; it has also incorporated elements of life partners.

Sitting in the girl's room, watching Lin Shuyu skillfully wiping Kanna's face, Amanosaki felt somewhat uneasy.

In Lin Shuyu's eyes, Kanna was just a child. Although she learned about Kanna's race from the information in the post, she couldn't associate such a cute little girl with a world-destroying giant lizard.

But in Amanosaki's eyes, Lin Shuyu, who bound Kanna's belly with her legs and shouted "Hands out" and "Close your eyes" while holding a handkerchief, looked like an ignorant adventurer trying to strangle a dragon with a handkerchief.

Especially considering that the two had clashed several times in public before, Amanosaki felt more and more that Lin Shuyu's death was imminent.

However, she remained unharmed until Lin Shuyu started washing Kanna's feet.

"Spread your feet."

Kanna grabbed a bag of dried squid and slurped it down, her cheeks bulging, enjoying Lin Shuyu's service as she ate, her eyes crinkling into happy crescent shapes.

"Good girl." Lin Shuyu moved closer to Kanna, rubbing her pretty face against hers, and Kanna giggled ticklishly.

"Miss Lin, you're so good at taking care of children!" Amanosaki sat to the side, holding a soda, watching carefully, ready to step in and stop Kanna the moment she got angry.

Unbeknownst to many, Amanosaki had already adopted a more respectful title.

This is how it should be for the brave.

"of course."

Lin Shuyu wiped Kang Na's chubby little feet, "When I was in middle school, my parents were worried that the nanny might bully the children, so I took care of my younger siblings."

"Won't it affect your studies? High school coursework must be very demanding, right?"

Lin Shuyu glanced at Amanosaki, her face saying, "What are you talking about?"

"My special ability is [Celestial Manifestation]. I can memorize all the high school material just by glancing at it during the holidays. Besides, I study humanities, and I've seen all the problem-solving question types that my classmates need to practice a lot to master after just a few practice papers."

"Hah...I see."

Amanosaki sighed, a look of envy on his face.

"Okay, I'll go get some water and wash up."

Lin Shuyu picked up the basin of water and, before leaving, earnestly warned Amanosaki: "You can't do anything illegal or disorderly, understand?"

"Okay, okay, I'll sit right here and won't come any closer, alright?" Amanosaki nodded vigorously. His strong frame made him look like a tiger caged by humans next to the frail Lin Shuyu.

After Lin Shuyu went into the restroom, Amanosaki peeked in to make sure the door was closed, then looked at Kanna, who was slurping up squid strips, and whispered:

"Kanna, do you remember me?"

"I remember." Kanna blinked her big eyes, a smile spreading across her chubby face, as she slurped up bits of squid in her mouth.

It seems that becoming a child did not change Kanna's memory; her current behavior is more likely due to a child's lack of concentration.

Amanosaki relaxed slightly and asked, "Didn't you say before that you disliked Miss Lin? Why are you being so tolerant today?"

Kanna kicked her feet, her chubby little legs, clad in white stockings, swinging back and forth:

"I don't like Kobayashi anymore."

“I don’t like Kobayashi…” Amanosaki was speechless for a moment. This was a bit out of character. Calling Lin Shuyu “Kobayashi” felt like something out of an anime.

He shook his head, dismissing the thought:

"So you're just going to let her...control you like this?"

"It's not Kobayashi who controls Kanna, it's Kanna who controls Kobayashi."

With the last piece of squid still in her mouth, Kanna raised her hands high, kicked the empty packaging bag, and sent it spinning wildly through the air before swooping into the metal trash can.

Looking at the trash can made of woven metal mesh that had been easily cut by the plastic packaging, Amanosaki was absolutely certain that Kanna was indeed a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Kanna then stood on the sofa, her two chubby little hands gesturing wildly, using actions to add persuasiveness to her words.

"Kobayashi likes Kanna and wants to get close to her and serve her. Kanna uses 'rubbing her face,' 'rubbing against her,' and 'hugging her' as rewards to drive Kobayashi to serve her."

"Kobayashi is Kanna's slave!"

Kanna raised her hands, spread her fingers, and exclaimed "Oh!" just like a child.

Even Amanosaki, who doesn't particularly like children, has to admit that 2D lolis are indeed different from 3D lolis.

In short, they are really cute.

"No, what am I thinking?" Amanosaki pinched the bridge of his nose, thinking to himself that he had almost fallen for Kanna's trick.

"Miss Lin doesn't allow you to be with me, you can't sleep together tonight."

Amanosaki once again began to probe deeply in order to confirm Kanna's murderous intent.

"Angry... Why is Kanna angry?" Kanna tilted her head, her chubby little face full of confusion. "There are lots of delicious things here, Kanna likes it here."

She patted the table covered with snacks, which were the things the fans had just bought to lure Kanna in.

After Lin Shuyu diverted their attention with the award certificate and the interview, she took Kanna and left first, leaving Amanosaki to deal with the situation. In the end, Amanosaki also brought back the snacks.

Seeing this scene, Amanosaki recalled the days when he was watching "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid" on Earth, and he had seen the official character designs for the various characters in the anime on Bilibili's forum.

One of the descriptions of Kanna Kamui contains the following passage.

[Kanna's prototype was a dragon with a strong sex drive, but because the Kanna in the anime is a child, her immature sex drive is transformed into a hunger.]

That's why the classic scene that countless content creators have used to make memes has emerged: Kanna, who can eat anything, including shrimp, crabs, and cicadas.

It even spawned hilarious GIFs of people eating wild animals and becoming funny themselves.

'Because sexual desire has been transformed into appetite, has the woman's possessiveness and jealousy also shifted along with it?' Amanosaki breathed a sigh of relief, finally certain that even if he wasn't there, as long as there was enough food, Lin Shuyu would be fine tonight.

He suddenly felt something heavy on his thigh.

Amanosaki looked closely and found that Kanna was sitting on his lap, looking up at him intently.

Her pale purple eyes were full of innocence.

"Does Nozaki want to eat?"

Kanna held up the pickled chicken feet in her hand and asked, waving them around.

Amanosaki swallowed hard and stared stiffly toward the toilet.

The toilet door opened a crack, and a dangerous gaze pierced through the gap, making Amanosaki's scalp tingle.

He raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, stammering, "I...I didn't move! I was just sitting here, I didn't do anything!"

"Amanosaki, you bastard! You don't even spare such a small child!"

"Hey, hey, I'm innocent!" Amanosaki cried out in alarm. "Kanna herself got on my lap!"

However, Lin Shuyu didn't listen at all. She kicked open the toilet door, picked up the wet mop, and rushed towards Tennozaki.

Amanosaki quickly jumped up and dodged left and right in the room. The mop had been used to wipe away filth for years, and a strange smell could be smelled as soon as you got close. There were also splashes of water, which Amanosaki couldn't stand.

"Kanna, Kanna, please explain this to me, Kanna!"

"Kanna, why are you just watching!?"

Amanosaki wailed.

"You bastard, you still say you're not a lolicon! Die!!"

Meanwhile, Kanna sat on the sofa, poured some pickled pepper water into her mouth, and let out a soft burp.

She watched the chaotic scene inside the house, and expressionlessly uttered her signature sigh:

"It's really incredible!"

The reporter outside the door had intended to invite Amanosaki for a late-night fireside interview, but upon hearing the 'joyful' sounds coming from inside, the reporter shrugged at the photographer:

"Never mind, they're flirting right now, we won't disturb them."

The photographer nodded, and the two turned and left.

Chapter 144: Real-life Cosplay

Lin Shuyu ultimately failed to hit Amanosaki.

Her movements were relatively slow.

However, Amanosaki was not unscathed; at least his clothes and body were covered in mop water.

It was too difficult to avoid all the water droplets; the room was too small, and any large movements would inevitably hurt Lin Shuyu.

Or perhaps she'll knock over the coffee table and ruin Kanna's snacks.

Amanosaki couldn't imagine what outrageous things Kanna might do.

He had just washed his face in the bathroom and was now sitting on the sofa, panting heavily, looking completely exhausted.

I'm tired!

After finishing her raccoon cookies, Kanna raised her hands again, tilted her head back, and shouted.

This action seemed to be imbued with some kind of magic called "cuteness." Amanosaki felt nothing when other children made this gesture, but when he saw Kanna strike this pose, he finally understood why some people said that lolis were soft, cute, and adorable.

He really wanted to catch Kanna and give her chubby little face a good squeeze.

This disparity is similar to the situation with parents who forbid you from keeping cats or dogs. When you ask to keep a cat or dog, some parents might say things like, "You can't even take care of a human, let alone a cat or dog!" "If you dare bring it home, I'll kill it!" or "Only one of me and the pet can live."

But once the cats and dogs actually arrive home, your parents will be more attentive to them than you are after a few days. They'll be cleaning up after them, grooming them, cooking for them, and even wanting to sleep with them. You'll feel like an outsider.

Even a cold adult like Amanosaki, who was originally indifferent to children, couldn't stand it, so Lin Shuyu, who had always taken care of her younger siblings, naturally couldn't stand it either.

She covered her nose, looking completely melted, and let out a silly, giggling laugh.

'It seems Miss Lin has been completely tamed by Kanna's soft and cute charm.' Amanosaki thought to himself, looking at Lin Shuyu's infatuated expression.

Sensing that Amanosaki was acting strangely, Lin Shuyu coughed several times, suppressing the rest of her laughter, "Kanna-chan is tired, shall we rest?"

However, Kanna shook her head, stretched out her short legs, clumsily jumped off the sofa, and ran to the socket to sit down.

Its fluffy purple tail swung and shoved into the socket.

"what!"
