Kaguya Houraisan uttered the syllable "ah" several times in a row. It could even be said that she was not making a sound, but simply opening her mouth to let the air flow through her throat, stimulating her vocal cords to produce the most basic vibration.

Kaguya Houraisan's eyes still held a trace of confusion, as if she was wondering about the problem with her voice, wondering why she couldn't make the same sound as the person in front of her just now.

Mo Mo watched all this in silence, realizing he had made a mistake.

"Oh!"

After trying several times, Kaguya Houraisan's confusion turned into distress. Her brows furrowed and her face turned red. Finally, she let out a loud "Ah!"

The sound "ya" instantly dispelled the distress on Kaguya Houraisan's face. She seemed surprised that she had made another sound, and then immediately grinned.

"Ah, ya, ah, ya!"

Kaguya Houraisan uttered these two syllables repeatedly, then grinned, repeating this process several times, making her look like a little kid satisfied with his new treasure.

Little brat?

Mo Mo's brows relaxed, and a wry smile appeared on his lips. This was no longer at the level of a little kid, was it?

This looks exactly like a newborn baby!

Did it actually turn into a baby?

A baby with the figure of a beautiful young girl?

This concept seems pretty appealing... cough, no, this problem seems a bit serious!

Mo Mo didn't have time to ponder why Kaguya Houraisan had become like this; a serious question suddenly occurred to him. According to biological instinct, if the infant Kaguya Houraisan had opened her eyes and seen Mo Mo as the first person, then what would happen next...?

At this moment, Kaguya Houraisan, who was smug about mastering the new syllable, grinned and threw herself into Momo's arms.

There was no physical embrace; he simply leaned closer, pressing his body against Mo Mo's chest, constantly squeezing into Mo Mo's embrace, rubbing his body against Mo Mo's, as if trying to draw warmth from Mo Mo in this way.

"ah!"

Kaguya Houraisan, like a clingy little bird, looked up at Momo and uttered her newly mastered pronunciation, then grinned as if asking for a reward.

Helpless, Mo Mo instinctively placed his hand on Houraisan Kaguya's head and wrapped his other arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. Houraisan Kaguya smiled even more happily as a result.

it's over...

Now that he's seen this, Mo Mo is 100% certain that Kaguya Houraisan has really broken down.

Surely this isn't my fault?

Mo Mo felt a sudden toothache; he had only been helping Kaguya Houraisan with her physical therapy. Could it be that his mature and excellent therapeutic methods actually had the ability to turn a person's mind back into that of an infant?

I've unknowingly acquired a superpower!

Just as Mo Mo was feeling incredibly frustrated, and Kaguya Houraisan kept squeezing against his chest and grinning foolishly, Yui suddenly appeared on Mo Mo's shoulder, her eyes shining as she looked at Kaguya Houraisan.

058 Dad, daughter, I love you

"Yui?"

Mo Mo softly called out Yui's name, and Yui, who was always on the same wavelength as Mo Mo, naturally understood what Mo Mo wanted to ask.

Momo hoped that Yui could examine Kaguya Houraisan's condition from a medical perspective and determine what her current situation was.

However, Yui shook her head, slightly concealing the excitement in her eyes, before looking at Mo Mo with her usual gaze and saying, "Dad, Kaguya Houraisan's body is definitely fine."

"Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Kaguya Houraisan was resurrected just now is even more powerful than her father's Code. So Kaguya Houraisan must be in perfect health right now, and her brain and nerves will not be damaged in any way."

“If Dad is still worried, I can summon the equipment to give her a full diagnosis and treatment, but I think the result will definitely be what I imagine.”

Although Yui is not a doctor, with her medical knowledge from several worlds, she has no problem making a judgment about Kaguya Houraisan's basic condition.

Mo Mo's assessment was the same as Yui's, saying, "Let's deal with that later. So, is Kaguya's current state related to that thing?"

As he spoke, Mo Mo looked at the unremarkable stone ball on the floor. This pill-shaped stone ball did not emit any fluctuations. If it were thrown on the ground, someone might accidentally kick it away and disappear into the grass, never to be found again.

However, this very thing just destroyed Houraisan Kaguya, who was a Hourai native, and it seems to have even affected her consciousness after she recovered.

"That should be the case, Dad."

Yui nodded and said, "Although I don't know what this is, it's obvious that it has a great influence on Kaguya Houraisan's power, and can even completely destroy it."

"Although its power may not be entirely aimed at Kaguya Houraisan, we can now conclude that Kaguya Houraisan's current abnormal condition after her resurrection is definitely related to it."

Mo Mo nodded in agreement. At this moment, Kaguya Houraisan's consciousness had clearly been erased. Perhaps this was just a coincidence, but it was enough to prove the power of this small stone sphere.

Kaguya Houraisan's abilities are quite powerful; the power of eternity and fleeting moments, to some extent, already touches upon the power of the rules of time.

First, there's the ability of Kaguya Houraisan to compress a vast amount of time into a single instant. This can be interpreted as Kaguya Houraisan experiencing a long period of time—doing countless things, even creating countless historical events—in the span of a single instant in the world's normal flow of time.

Next is eternity. Kaguya Houraisan can stretch a moment in time into eternity, so that things will move on this eternal timeline and remain forever in the state they were in when Kaguya used her power, without any change or even destruction.

The principle behind Hourai Medicine is this: Hourai Medicine, made with the power of Kaguya of Mount Hourai, freezes a person at the moment of taking the medicine, preventing any changes, whether it be birth, aging, sickness, death, or destruction and harm.

Unless there is some kind of power that can destroy or affect Kaguya Houraisan's abilities, only in this way can the revival of the Hourai people be problematic.

And now, is this little stone the thing that's destroying Kaguya Houraisan's abilities?

Momo clearly wouldn't touch the small stone until he understood what danger it posed. The most serious problem facing Momo right now was how to deal with the infantile Kaguya Houraisan.

Since Kaguya Houraisan's problem lies with her abilities, it's currently impossible for Momo to restore her consciousness and memories.

Of course, Momo could also directly pull Kaguya Houraisan to the Hall of Heroes, making her a Heroic Spirit. In this way, all of Kaguya Houraisan's memories would naturally return to her mind, turning her into the Kaguya Houraisan who previously tried to kill Momo with a wood-chopping knife.

However, Mo Mo would not do that.

At this point, Kaguya Houraisan had clearly instinctively regarded Momo as her closest relative. She would never refuse anything Momo did for her, and she would absolutely obey whatever Momo told her.

But the Kaguya Houraisan at this time is not the real Kaguya Houraisan. If we call this Kaguya Houraisan back to the Hall of Heroes and wait for her to regain her memories and consciousness, wouldn't Momo be taking advantage of her vulnerability?

Mo Mo would obviously not take advantage of someone's misfortune.

Medical procedures are excluded.

"Yui, do you have any ideas?"

Mo Mo asked Yui with some helplessness. Although Mo Mo could use her wisdom and experience to bully little kids, she really didn't know where to start with an infant who was a complete blank slate.

Feeling helpless, Mo Mo wondered if he should consider brushing up on his knowledge of infant and toddler care, otherwise he might be beaten to death by his wife's savings for not knowing this in the future.

"Dad, you're asking me?"

Yui exclaimed in surprise. At this moment, Yui had already manifested a virtual form, and Kaguya Houraisan naturally saw the tiny figure on Momo's shoulder immediately.

She stared wide-eyed at Yui, her mind blank and her knowledge limited, so all she could do was put on a face full of question marks.

"Dad, do you think your daughter like me would understand this kind of knowledge? Of course! If you let Yui give birth to a daughter for you in the future, Yui will definitely master this knowledge!"

Yui suddenly chuckled, a glint of light in her eyes. Mo Mo immediately recognized this expression; Yui already had her own ideas.

"Don't be ridiculous, including you!"

Mo Mo gently flicked Yui's forehead, stopping her rambling, and at the same time, he pushed back the hand that Kaguya Houraisan had quietly reached out to grab Yui.

When you see something you don't understand, you reach out and grab it, touch it, and experience it with your body. This is a human instinct, and it's what Kaguya Houraisan wanted to do at that moment.

"ah?"

Kaguya Houraisan blinked at Mo Mo, not understanding why he had stopped her. However, she didn't resist and immediately obeyed Mo Mo's words.

However, Kaguya Houraisan was not so idle. Since Mo Mo wouldn't let her touch Yui, she began to explore her surroundings with both hands, feeling Mo Mo's chest, cheeks, and bones, with a face full of curiosity, using her palms to familiarize herself with Mo Mo's body.

This time, Mo Mo didn't stop Kaguya Houraisan, but continued to talk to Yui, saying, "Alright, Yui, give me some advice, I'm really not good at dealing with this kind of baby... Ouch!"

Mo Mo suddenly widened his eyes and gasped, because Kaguya Houraisan's little hand seemed to have grabbed something it shouldn't have.

We really can't let the kids run wild!

Mo Mo tried to pull Kaguya Houraisan, who had already climbed onto his lower body, back down, but Yui just sat on Kaguya Houraisan's head with a grin and said, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Kaguya Houraisan clutched at what she was holding, then looked up at Yui, who was glowing above her, her eyes filled with even more confusion, as if she couldn't understand the current situation.

However, her eyes widened slightly, and she instinctively frowned, as if she were enduring something.

"Yui, what's this?"

“Father, it is indeed a big problem for us to start educating Kaguya Houraisan from scratch. Putting aside whether we have the time, too much education and guidance may cause Kaguya Houraisan to resent us when she regains her memories.”

Mo Mo nodded; Yui was right. If Mo Mo were to educate Houraisan Kaguya too much at this time, Houraisan Kaguya, once she regains her memories, might perceive it as Mo Mo's manipulation and seduction.

"So, we just need to teach her the basics and let her develop on her own. That way, even if she regains her memories in the future, it won't be our fault."

"Teach her the basics, you mean..."

“That’s right,” Yui nodded and said, “It’s similar to the learning devices for the younger sisters. But I won’t be that rough. I’m just using Misaki’s mother’s ability to teach Kaguya Houraisan the most basic common sense.”

At this point, a light that Mo Mo couldn't understand lit up in Yui's eyes again.

Mo Mo pondered Yui's method; it was indeed a quick and reasonable approach. Although Misaki Shokuhou wasn't present at the moment, with the support of Kazakiri Hyouka from the Hall of Heroes, Yui could easily utilize her mind control abilities.

Besides, all Yui did was write down the concepts; how to understand these concepts is up to Kaguya Houraisan herself.

Mo Mo looked at Kaguya Houraisan with expectant eyes. Her small face looked a little awkward, as if Kaguya Houraisan didn't like studying very much.

However, she did not reject the inclusion of this common sense. Her once pure eyes gradually became lively and complex, clearly indicating that she was beginning to understand many things.

After a short while, Yui stopped and said, "Dad, for now I've taught her the concepts of a few hundred of the most common nouns. That should be enough for her to quickly understand the world around her and learn on her own."

"After all, she only lost consciousness, but her intelligence remains. With that foundation, that's enough."

Mo Mo nodded; there seemed to be nothing wrong with Yui's actions.

"Well then, Dad, if there's nothing else, I'm going back to Valhalla. Dad, please spend some quality time with Kaguya. She needs everyone's care right now!"

After saying that, Yui disappeared from Mo Mo's sight in the blink of an eye, which made Mo Mo a little strange. Why did Yui seem to be fleeing in panic this time?

Or is something going on inside Valhalla?

Mo Mo's doubts didn't last long, because the next second, Mo Mo understood from Kaguya Houraisan's words why Yui had run away.

"dad……"

Kaguya Houraisan awkwardly uttered the word "Dad," and hugged Mo Mo's neck, her eyes wide with surprise.

"Daddy, your daughter loves you!"
