Talulah, I'm still a child.

"Um, sorry to have worried you. How far are we from Lentinium?"

"There are about 200 kilometers left. After driving for a while, we will need to stop and walk. According to the intelligence given by Brother Mei Xue, the Sarkaz army's outposts are basically all within 80 kilometers of Londinium."

"I see."

After all, she was the first person to receive the intelligence, and the Doctor had certainly read it carefully. She put aside the complicated memories in her mind and looked out of the spacecraft window.

The closer one gets to Londinium, the more oppressive it feels. The green of life gradually fades away. This desolation makes the Doctor recall the past. Mei Xue connected another timeline to this place to complete her own past, and in the same way, she also completed the Doctor's past.

Now, both of their memories are gradually returning, and some things are becoming clearer. Looking at the desolate wilderness, the doctor unexpectedly felt a sense of nostalgia. When he first met Mei Xue, this land was lifeless. The little fox was very cute, and she confessed her feelings without hesitation.

Those days were wonderful. Every day was fulfilling with Mei Xue. No matter how many wonderful ideas Miss Doctor had, Mei Xue could always help her turn them into reality.

But later, she made a serious wish.

"It shouldn't be like this..."

Miss Doctor murmured, unconsciously clenching her fists. She wished she could see Mei Xue right now, but when she realized that the little fox hadn't come looking for her or been online for several days, she understood.

Having regained her own memories, how could Mei Xue still be completely unaware?

"Today, my friend Wolper's lucky color is... white! Ah, white is a wonderful color, pure and flawless, very popular. Wearing some white accessories can bring you good luck."

The TV was playing today's program. Mei Xue twitched her fox ears and looked at her tail and hair. No wonder, she was all white. It was only natural that she was so lucky.

"This kind of show... it was just a lucky accident."

"Maybe."

Mei Xue didn't care about the advertisements. The little fox just wanted to watch the next episode of Kamen Rider Extreme Fox. When she was on Rhodes Island, she was always bothered by Rosemary and her sisters, so she didn't have much time to watch anime. Every time she watched TV, she would be grabbed by the neck or her tail and thrown onto the bed. But now she could actually watch TV in peace.

"But Mei Xue hasn't changed at all; she's still extremely interested in these things."

Qinliu sighed with emotion, recalling how the little fox used to watch Kamen Rider all day long at home, and still does now.

"Because heroes are cool."

If Cecilia, Qinliu, and the others hadn't been there, Meixue would have already pulled out her transformation belt and acted out her chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) behavior.

"What I like most are heroes, those who are willing to stand up for others. Don't you like them, sister?"

"I have great respect for them."

Talulah pinched Mei Xue's cheek. In fact, the heroes Mei Xue mentioned were not uncommon in the Reunion Movement. Patriot was such a person. Even though he never used the title of hero to promote himself, when he decided to raise his halberd and shield for the weak, no one could say that he was not a hero.

"My sister is a hero too."

The little fox's smile was exceptionally sweet, and he took the initiative to rub against Talulah's palm.

"Oh, right, Meixue, this is for you."

Looking at the little fox's adorable appearance, Talulah suddenly remembered that she hadn't come here to watch TV with him, so she took out the silver anchor box from her backpack and handed it to him.

"I was supposed to give it to you last night, but I accidentally forgot."

Rather than forgetting, it's more accurate to say that she was too caught up in the moment to think about it until after breakfast that Talulah remembered she hadn't returned the box to Meixue.

"Thank you for keeping it safe for me, sister."

Mei Xue casually put the box into his tail, his eyes darting around Talulah. He seemed to be sizing her up, but in reality, he was watching a butterfly that had flown out of Talulah's hair.

That was a fragment of Su Xue'er's soul residing in Talulah from another world. She leisurely fluttered around the room, then landed on Mei Xue's tail, found a suitable one, and crawled inside.

This means that the second step of the Mei Xue Plan has been completed, which is cause for celebration. However, he is still a little worried that if something unexpected happens and Eureka fails to reach Rhodes Island, it will be terrible.

After all, even if Mei Xue took away the part of Su Xue'er's power from her body, that girl's luck was still exceptionally bad. She probably fell down more often than she ate.

Moreover, because Eureka is a jinx, trouble always seems to follow her wherever she goes. After much thought, Mei Xue realized that Rhodes Island was the only place that suited her, since Rhodes Island was now essentially a mobile temple for the little fox. Other places might at most have a statue, but they directly worship Mei Xue herself.

Even if Eureka is a jinx, surely she wouldn't cause any trouble on Rhodes Island... right?

"You suddenly seem a little uneasy."

Mei Xue scratched his head. His intuition was always very accurate. No, other people's intuition could be called intuition, but Mei Xue's was basically future vision. He felt that Eureka might not be able to settle down in Rhodes Island.

But now it is estimated that she has already handed the jade pendant to Aphrodite. After the protection from Mei Xue disappeared, can the little fox's remaining trace of aura on Rhodes Island really suppress her misfortune?

"What are you worried about?"

"It's nothing, just something I need to confirm."

Mei Xue got up and disappeared from the spot, leaving Talulah and the others completely bewildered.

Meanwhile, on the other side, at Rhodes Island, a thick plume of smoke rose. Rhodes Island's own chimneys usually emit smoke, but today's smoke seemed a bit off.

"Fire!"

Eureka shouted at the top of her lungs, then skillfully turned on the Rhodes Island fire equipment, connected the fire hydrant, and began extinguishing the fire in her dormitory. It was clear she had done this kind of thing many times before.

"Should I have given that jade pendant to Miss Aphrodite...?"

While busily putting out the fire, Eureka was somewhat on the verge of tears. She had finally found a place like Rhodes Island that could accommodate her. In the past two days, she hadn't inexplicably tripped and fallen, nor had she been hit by a falling light bulb or ceiling while walking. She thought her luck had finally turned around.

As a result, a fire today shattered her dream once again.

"How could this happen... I was just about to start my live stream."

Live broadcast, that's right, live broadcast. Eureka is a broadcaster because the news anchor position at Rhodes Island is actually a nominal one. According to the person in charge, the news that everyone cares about most is just what will be served for lunch tomorrow and where Mei Xue will be. The salary will still be paid, and you can find something else to do.

Burdened with huge debts, and despite the decent salary at Rhodes Island, it was impossible to pay off the debts with that money. So Eureka took on the role of a streamer at Rhodes Island, responsible for promoting Rhodes Island's medicines while broadcasting.

The platform mainly targets allied nations such as Letania, Da Yan, and Columbia, so promoting Rhodes Island's medicines won't be blocked. I heard that the Doctor originally intended for Mei Xue to do this job, since, putting everything else aside, Mei Xue alone standing in front of the camera eating an apple would definitely attract a large number of fans.

However, considering that the reaction from the Great Yan might be quite intense, this idea was shelved. After all, the people of Great Yan are all believers in fox spirits. If they see their beloved little ancestor appear on a live broadcast, well... the live broadcast room will probably be overwhelmed.

Unfortunately, Eureka was planning to start her broadcast today, but unexpectedly, a short circuit caused a fire that set off her dormitory.

"What kind of mess have I made..."

“Sister Eureka, so pitiful.”

"Yes, I... wait, no, Mei Xue!?"

Eureka suddenly realized that the person standing next to her was the little fox she had been longing for. She dropped the hose and decisively hugged Mei Xue's leg.

"Meixue! Help! I can't go on living!"

(Speaking of which, the feel of this is surprisingly nice, white stockings with bare feet, I want to lick it... no, now is not the time to think about that.)

Ignoring Eureka's somewhat strange thoughts, Mei Xue flicked her tail and reached out to wipe the flames from the traces of fate, leaving the previously burned equipment intact.

Looking at Eureka, who was hugging her tightly, Mei Xue thought for a moment and felt that it might be more appropriate to entrust her with something.

After all, this girl was one of the unlucky ones in Mei Xue's family.

Whether the April Fool's Day bonus story features the biological daughter or not is irrelevant.

To be honest, Mei Xue didn't really understand April Fool's Day. The only holidays he could remember besides his and his wives' wedding anniversaries were the Spring Festival. And his family usually only celebrated the latter. After all, if he celebrated every wedding anniversary, Mei Xue would be spending at least one-fifth of the year on holidays, which was terrifying to think about.

"But darling, don't you think this is funny?"

Gently nibbling Mei Xue's ear, even though the little fox nestled in Mostima's arms couldn't see her expression, she could guess that her lover was currently wearing a malicious smile while plotting something.

As arranged by the lottery, Mei Xue was responsible for accompanying her today. It also happened to be April Fool's Day, so Mostima came up with some other fun ideas. She always had a great time trying to put her ideas into action. And for some reason, Mei Xue used to think Mostima was just cunning, but now she felt that she was increasingly turning pranks into a life motto.

She would even make silly jokes with her husband, such as ambushing the little fox while he was cooking, turning dinner into something else entirely, or tangling Mei Xue's tail together like a knot while he was sleeping.

Are you sure the child won't cry?

Mei Xue expressed skepticism about Mostima's plan; the twitching of the little fox's ears was proof that it was thinking. As for the tail? It was being held by his wife.

"That would be interesting. Well, I'm going to work now."

After all, they can't rely entirely on Mei Xue to support them. Mostima and the others all have legitimate jobs, but in order to take care of her daughter, she temporarily put aside her duties as a messenger and took a position in the Papal Court. She can still meet with Remian and the Archangel from time to time. Now, Andorn, as a member of the Martyrs' faction, also frequently interacts with this side.

"Remember to come back early. Hmm, I'm going to sleep a little longer."

Because Mostima's ability is special, she can amplify a period of time many times over. So, the two of them were actually entangled for more than two days last night. During this time, Mostima took several breaks. However, her physical condition cannot be judged by normal standards. Otherwise, she wouldn't even have the strength to move a finger today, let alone go to work.

"Mmm, sleep well, darling."

Moretima has grown accustomed to this teasing nickname rather than simply calling Mei Xue by her name, and finds it quite pleasant.

She gently closed the door and looked at her daughter, who had packed her schoolbag. She was a very cute Sarkaz loli with long, smooth, sea-blue hair, black horns on her head that curved forward, and a white-based outfit.

"Phil, have you had breakfast?"

"...I've already eaten. Your portion is on the table."

Phil, the daughter of Mostima and Meixue, is hard to believe is Mostima's child, except for her appearance, because the mother and daughter have completely different personalities and temperaments.

Compared to Mostima, who is cunning and has a somewhat wicked sense of humor, Phil is serious and meticulous in his work. He is more like Fiametta than Mostima. If Mostima didn't know that Mei Xue's child would only show the mother's characteristics, he would probably suspect that he and Fiametta had switched babies.

No, that guy just took maternity leave not long ago.

"Let's change our image."

"Okay, where's Dad?"

Despite feeling a sense of disdain for Mostima, Phil, as a daughter, still respected her father. She was very sensible and had heard many things from Ivan, knowing how great and approachable her father was.

Having grown up listening to his father's stories, Phil certainly couldn't possibly dislike him; on the contrary...

"He's a bit of a sleepyhead, you know that."

"...Then I'm going to school."

Hearing this, Phil knew that her plan to have Mei Xue accompany her to school had failed. She was a little disappointed, but she certainly couldn't live in Laterano with the appearance of a Sarkaz. Although there was no longer the deep-seated hatred between the Sarkaz and Sarkaz, she didn't want to attract too much attention.

Reaching into his backpack, he took out his halo and placed it on his head. His pair of jet-black horns and slender, heart-shaped tail gradually shrank and disappeared, replaced by bright wings of light and a dazzling glow on his head. In this way, Phil transformed from the purest Sarkaz into the purest Sarkaz.

Although Mostima inherited her fallen angel traits, this does not mean she will become a fallen angel. On the contrary, she can freely switch between Sarkaz and Sarkaz.

"Oh right, it's about that... Phil, your dad and I discussed it for a long time yesterday and decided to tell you this news."

"Ok?"

"Actually... you are not our daughter."

Mostima's tone was exceptionally serious, and her eyes were full of sincerity. This was the first time Phil had ever seen her mother with such a serious expression. However, Mostima's words struck her like a bolt from the blue, causing the usually somewhat emotionless girl to show a rare look of shock. The last time she had shown such an expression was when she learned that she was not actually human.

“This should have been brought up when you were eighteen, but you are more mature than we thought. You are already a reliable adult at only twelve years old.”

(That's because you're such an unreliable mother!)

Phil couldn't help but complain in his heart that Mei Xue couldn't always be with either of her daughters. She would only come over every now and then. The family only lived together during the winter and summer vacations. Therefore, Phil usually lived with Mostima.
