You don't even want to call me godfather

But just as she grabbed the door handle, which was almost as tall as she was now, opened the door, and saw the person coming, she let out a scream and fell into a state of stiffness.

Even the tail that was swinging happily behind it stood up and stood up.

"Red? Are you causing trouble for Kosh'e again?"

The person who came was Iris, but she did not turn into a child like Hong. Now she was more than two heads taller than Xiao Xiaohong.

She stared at Xiao Xiaohong with a questioning look and walked into the house.

Under the invisible threat of Iris, Xiao Xiaohong kept backing away until she fell into Koshe's arms.

"Don't be so murderous, Iris. Red didn't do anything," Koshei said while comforting the frightened Red. "How is it, did you find out anything?"

"No, I haven't found anything yet," Iris shook her head. He closed the door and sighed, "I still have no idea about turning into a child."

"It's been almost a week now, with kids running around at home," Koshe said, pinching Xiao Xiaohong's face suggestively, "but it has made me experience the pain of raising a child in advance."

"Well, there will always be a time to go through this, so just treat it as practice ahead of time," Iris said, holding up two things in her hand, "How is Destiny? I brought her something."

"As for her, her body has regressed to that of a child, and her physical condition has become weaker. She is now resting in bed," Koshe replied. He looked at the thing Iris brought with some confusion, "Is that a flower?"

"Don't worry, there's no gun hidden in it," Iris waved the bouquet in her hand, pointing it at Koshe as if it were a gun, "It's just to comfort Destiny."

"So what's in here?"

But Koshe's eyes were always on the briefcase that Iris was carrying, which was the briefcase that the Cascade family's gang members often used to transport guns.

"Yes... it's a SIG," Iris had to admit when she saw that she couldn't hide it from Koshei. "A few days ago, Destiny told me that he wanted to feel it again. Of course, there's no bullet in it, and the SIG isn't likely to explode that easily."

"Well, that's fine," Koshe agreed with Iris's behavior. He grabbed Little Red's hood tightly and dragged her to the door. "I'll go find Ω. Although she was originally a child, she has become smaller and she likes to fly outside recently."

"By the way," Iris called Koshei again as he was about to go out, "Are you free tonight?"

"Well, what happened?"

"Gil said there might be a meteor shower tonight, and it's sunny today, so we might be able to see it clearly," Iris scratched her face, seeming a little embarrassed about inviting Koshei. "There's a meadow in the woods to the west, where it borders the city. It should be a good spot for viewing."

"I see," Koshe thought for a moment and agreed. Then, seeing Iris's overjoyed expression, he shattered her fantasy. "I'll invite Angie, and Jill and the others."

"Eh? Wait—"

Iris just realized something was wrong and was about to say something, but Koshe had already closed the door, leaving her standing alone in the entranceway in a daze.

After a long time, Iris walked upstairs somewhat disappointedly, and she opened the door of Destiny's room.

"How's the health, Destiny?"

Looking at Destiny who was sitting on the bed in the room and reading a book, Iris asked comfortingly.

"Well, I've adapted a lot in the past two days, but it may take a little time to recover..." Seeing Iris coming, the child-like Destiny closed the book and smiled, "After all, I can't always trouble my brother to take so much time to take care of me."

"That guy isn't that busy anyway. How can it be that he has to take care of his sister?" Iris was obviously still resentful of the wooden Koshe. She placed the bouquet on the bedside table and raised the suitcase. "By the way, I brought the things you asked for."

"Oh, thank you so much."

Little Destiny clasped her hands together with an excited look, and she couldn't wait to take the suitcase from Iris, opened the lock, and revealed the SIG inside.

"After Destiny recovers, we should start with training on how to disassemble and reassemble firearms," ​​Iris said with a smile, forgetting her unhappiness as she watched Destiny couldn't let go of the pistol. "Although you seem to use a short knife more often when you grow up, your use of firearms can help you prevent many emergencies."

"Ah, um...yeah."

Upon hearing this, Destiny suddenly became quiet. She stroked the gun with her fingers, as if she was thinking about something.

"Destiny, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at Destiny holding the gun in a daze, Iris asked with concern.

"Well... although I was a little worried at first, I still remember the method of assembling the gun completely," Destiny smiled weakly, with a hint of bitterness in his smile, "But no matter whether it was happy things or sad things, those memories related to my brother, many important things were forgotten so easily."

Iris was speechless. She probably understood Destiny's feelings. Becoming a child meant that all the memories of growing up were gone. Anyone would feel uncomfortable.

"Well, no matter what, you will always be his favorite sister, right?" Iris sat down on the bed. She looked at Destiny calmly and said, "Whether you have those memories or not, you are the only one who can have privileges with him, right?"

"Hmm... that's true."

Destiny nodded and smiled.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Do you have the strength to get out of bed now?"

Seeing that Destiny was in a low mood, Iris simply ended the topic and asked instead.

"If you just want to get out of bed and walk around, it's still fine," Destiny asked doubtfully, "Iris, is there something important?"

"It's nothing particularly important," Iris scratched her hair awkwardly, her eyes dodging, "It's just... there might be a meteor shower tonight, so I wanted to ask if you'd like to come watch it together. Koshei will be there too."

"Well...my brother has clearly stipulated that I cannot leave the house until I recover," Destiny looked at Iris, who seemed a little disappointed after hearing this, and deliberately paused before continuing, "But it's okay to violate the rules occasionally, after all, I am also a person with 'privileges'."

"Destiny, you really are..."

Iris shook her head helplessly, feeling a little amused and helpless.

Even though he became a child, Destiny's personality remained the same, and he even seemed to have Iris under his control.

"Well, but Koshei..." Iris sat on the bed, facing Destiny. She supported her chin with her hand, as if thinking about something. "He is obviously a very smart person at other times. Why does he become so stupid at this time?"

"Iris, do you like your brother?"

Just as she was thinking about it, Destiny's words almost startled her to stand up.

"You, you, you...what are you talking about? How can something like that be——"

"It's obvious, Iris," Destiny said with a smile, as if teasing, "Even I can see it. Does Iris really think that her brother doesn't feel it?"

Destiny's words awakened Iris.

She looked at Destiny, then at the floor, and finally down at her hands, lost in thought.

……

"Mrs. Helen, have you seen the child in my house?" Koshe was dragging the reluctant Xiao Xiaohong from house to house to inquire about Ω's whereabouts. "It's the child with wings who can fly."

"I'm sorry, I didn't see it," Mrs. Helen apologized with a gentle smile. She turned back and asked, "Loft, have you seen the flying child?"

"Me?" Loft finally managed to divert some attention from Mikhail and Leah, who were fighting in the house, and said, "As for me, when I was buying groceries earlier, I seemed to see something flying south in the sky."

"South?" Koshe thought about it and suddenly thought of something. He quickly pushed Xiao Xiaohong in front of Mrs. Helen and said, "Mrs. Helen, can you please help me look after Hong and send her home later? She has been a little noisy recently."

"Of course, no problem," Mrs. Helen nodded with a smile and took the red from Koshei, "Come here, child."

The magical thing is that the little red, who was extremely noisy in front of Koshe, suddenly became very quiet after falling into Mrs. Helen's hands, and obediently let Mrs. Helen hold her hand and enter the house.

After settling Hong down, Koshema rushed towards the southern city without stopping.

Ω has the ability to read people's minds, and considering that it's in the southern city, Koshe already knows where she will go.

A few minutes later, Koshe arrived in front of the familiar rental house.

Dana was downstairs doing boxing in the air. The door of the rented house where she lived was open, and Koshe could see Jill with her legs stretched out in the kotatsu, slouching over the table.

"Hey, Koshe," Dana stopped exercising when she saw Koshe coming. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with the towel hanging around her neck and asked, "Why haven't I seen you these days?"

"I'm so busy taking care of the kids, how can I have time to go out for a walk?" Koshe said jokingly, "But you're still exercising outside in such a cold day, aren't you afraid that your arm will get frozen?"

"As long as you keep your body warm, the gears won't freeze," Dana patted Koshe's arm carelessly and said, "But you, haven't you been lacking in exercise recently? Look at you, your arms are thinner than before."

"Let's talk about it after we finish dealing with the current matter," Koshe shrugged and shook his head helplessly, "I don't have any free time now."

"So, why did you decide to come here today?" Dana pulled down the towel, wiped the sweat off her arm, and wiped the mechanical arm, while asking, "Why, you can't stand the loneliness after not seeing Angel for a few days?"

"What are you talking about?" Koshei faced Dana's teasing with a bit of a smile, and then said, "I won't say anything, I really have something urgent to do."

Under Dana's meaningful gaze, Koshei ran up the stairs anxiously and knocked on Anjie's door.

But after a while, there was no response, so Koshei tried to push down the doorknob, but the door was not locked, so he opened it.

"ah!"

Anjie screamed from inside the house. In Koshe's sight, Anjie suddenly rushed out of the door and bumped into Koshe's arms.

"Angie? What happened—"

He was about to ask when he saw another figure rushing towards them.

Koshe hurriedly protected Anjie's head and pushed her to the side, while he himself took the impact of the figure.

He was unable to keep his pace and took a few steps back, with his waist against the fence. Using inertia, he tilted his head downward, climbed over the fence and fell down.

"Kosh-e!"

Angelina just came to her senses and saw Koshei falling from the second floor. She subconsciously stepped forward and reached out to catch him.

"Hey yo."

Although Anjie didn't have time to catch Koshe, Dana, who was watching downstairs, would not turn a blind eye. She steadily caught Koshe and the figure sticking to him.

Koshei landed on the ground with both feet, grabbed the collar of the person in his arms and lifted her up.

"Ω..." Koshe held back his breath, looking at the little guy in his hand who was so scared that even his wings were folded up, and he was quite helpless, "What trouble have you caused me again?"

"Koshe!" At this time, Anjie had already run downstairs. She anxiously grabbed Koshe and kept groping and looking at him up and down, "Are you okay? Are you injured?"

"No, I'm fine, Anjie, don't worry."

Koshe reached out his other hand and touched Anjie's hair, which calmed her down.

"What's wrong, what's going on?"

At the same time, Jill, who was lying dead in the house, heard the noise outside and ran out in a hurry without even changing her slippers.

Seeing that everyone was present, although the process had some twists and turns, everyone was staring at Koshei, and they all seemed to have different doubts.

Koshei took a deep breath and began to explain the purpose of his trip.

……

At night, on the meadow in the west.

Iris was holding Destiny's hand and walking slowly on the road.

Under pressure from Iris, Hong also quietly followed behind the two.

"Eh - I can't see it." The three of them sat down on the grass. Destiny placed his hands horizontally above his eyes and looked at the stars in the sky. "Is it not time yet?"

"It should be soon. You have to watch carefully." Iris also raised her head and exhaled a little smoke as she spoke. "If we can get closer to the East Country, we may be able to see it more clearly."

"You're already here. You're pretty quick."

Just as they were looking at the sky, Koshei and others also arrived here.

"I think you guys are too slow," Iris tilted her head, looked at Koshei and Anjie beside him, and closed her eyes for a moment, "But it's really quiet at times like this."

"Ah, yes." Koshe took Anjie's hand and walked to their side. They sat down together and lay on the grass, with their hands behind their heads. "I always feel that the world is becoming more and more complicated, and there are more and more things to think about. Sometimes, enjoying a moment of silence like this is a happy thing."

"Ah, Koshei, look!"

Angelina was sitting next to Koshe. She suddenly exclaimed and kept shaking Koshe's hand.

"I see it!" Destiny also hugged Iris's arm, twisting his body excitedly, and pointed at the meteor streaking across the sky. "Look, Iris! There's one too!"

"Hey, wait, wait a minute, Destiny... calm down a little..."

Iris smiled helplessly, but she didn't hate the feeling.

"Because this is the first time I've seen it," Destiny's eyes were clear as he followed the trail of the meteor. "I wonder if I'll be able to see this beautiful scene often when I grow up."

"Hey, Koshe," Dana was sitting in front of Koshe. She turned around and nudged him with her elbow. "Would you like to have a drink at our bar in a couple of days? I suddenly thought of a new drink called the Lunar Hadron Cannon. What do you think? Jill, do you think this is a great idea too?"

"That's so stupid, boss..."

Jill sat next to Dana, hugging her knees. She glanced at Dana with a slightly disgusted look.

"I think it's a good idea," Koshe smiled and suddenly suggested, "I heard that wishes made during a meteor shower can come true in the near future. How about everyone make one?"

"Oh, that's a good idea indeed."

Angelina first put her hands in front of her face, interlocked her fingers, and silently made a wish in her heart.

Koshe also imitated Anjie and made a wish by praying.

"Angie, what kind of wish did you make?"

After a long time, Koshe opened his eyes and turned to Angelina and asked.

"Hmph, I won't tell you," Angelina said with a sly smile, "It's useless if you tell it to me."
