In any case, those two aunties will have Aine and Mana by their side, but Mutsu is all alone.

"Um, Sister Mumi, I have a suggestion!" Banami said in an innocent tone.

Wakaba Muku looked puzzled.

“Sister Xiaomu, I say, let me be your mother!” the boy said, patting his chest.

Even though Wakaba Mutsu was completely lacking in common sense, her pupils still dilated in shock upon hearing the boy's unprecedented suggestion.

"Why..." Wakaba Mutsu asked.

However, Banami misunderstood her meaning. What Wakaba Mutsu meant was, how can a boy be a mother?

The boy, however, lacked this common sense. To him, his mother was simply someone who cared for him and looked after him.

Just like Xiangzi's mother.

Therefore, he can and is willing to be Xiaomu's mother.

After he explained it to Wakaba Mutsu in this way, Mutsu began to ponder.

If this suggestion were made to Su Shi or Hatsune Miku, they would probably just smile and pat his head.

But Ye Mu is different; although she has some common sense, she doesn't have much.

Hearing the boy say that, she felt a strange surge of emotion and a deep sense of being touched.

Finally, she parted her thin lips slightly and said, "Xiaoxi's mother?"

Immediately, the boy smiled knowingly, and then, imitating Xiangzi's actions, gently stroked Ruoye Mutsu's head.

Xiao Mu also showed a satisfied expression.

It really is true, one dares to think, and the other dares to shout.

Then, from the darkness, a strange chirping sound inexplicably came.

Clearly, it wasn't Bana who wanted to see him, so he asked, "Little Muta-neechan, are you hungry?"

Xiao Mu nodded gently.

Remembering her responsibilities as a mother, Banami hesitated for a moment, then blushed and gently pulled up her clothes, saying, "Um... well, I don't have any, but if you want some, Mutsu-neechan..."

Xiao Mu was a beat slow to understand what the other person meant. Her eyes were a little dazed, and finally, she gently buried her head in the boy's chest.

In the dark room, the sound of soft breathing could be heard from time to time.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Gugu Gaga

In the end, Wakaba Mutsu also got to drink milk from "Mom", although it wasn't sucked from Hanami's chest.

The next morning, Banami slowly woke up. That's the good thing about children from poor families; they are very adaptable and don't have problems with sleeping in unfamiliar beds.

When he slowly opened his eyes and saw his "eldest daughter," he couldn't help but smile and say, "Good morning, Sister Xiaomu."

Although he calls her "sister" and she calls him "mom," and they address each other differently, neither of them seems to find this childish relationship strange.

Seeing that Ruoye Mu was staring at him blankly without saying a word, the boy scratched his cheek awkwardly and said, "Sister Mu, what's wrong?"

Wakaba Mutsu said softly, "SAKI once said that there was an important keepsake on you."

“But Mom never told me about this.” Banami tilted her head slightly.

Ruoye Muku stared at him with a calm gaze.

Banai scratched her cheek but didn't say anything.

It was as if everything was understood without words.

"I will help you, help Saki." Wakaba Mutsumi's tone was as if she understood everything.

On the contrary, the boy unusually adopted an evasive stance.

After saying that, she pulled the boy up, quickly found a set of clothes in the wardrobe, changed them, and prepared to go out.

As a result, Banami shouted, "Waaaaah, Mutsu-neechan, you can't go out like this!"

The boy pulled the somewhat oblivious woman along, then carefully tidied up the mess on her clothes, fastening the buttons on her collar, making her look like a real mother.

At this moment, Wakaba Mutsu, who understood the boy's true purpose, or rather, his mission, gently embraced him.

"You did a great job."

"Much better than Saki."

Suddenly, the boy's nose tingled, and he almost burst into tears, but he still bravely said, "I'm very happy to hear Sister Xiaomu praise me like this."

Ruo Yemu, holding the boy's hand, had already passed the test with him and decided to help his Xiao Mu. Now she was going to send her to someone who needed him more.

About thirty minutes later, Banami looked up at the Ocean Park sign and asked with slight doubt, "Little Mutsu-neechan, are you taking me to see the dolphins?"

Ruoye Mu shook her head slightly and said, "Look at the penguins."

After saying that, Ruoye Mu took his hand and walked into the Ocean Park, just like a young mother and son.

But actually, no, their relationship is that of mother and daughter.

"Wow... Is that a shark? And also, is that a model of a Sea Dragon?"

No matter how much he tries to act mature, he's still a boy who hasn't really been out in the world. Seeing all the new things in Ocean Park, he gets excited for a moment.

"Xiao Xi, is this your first time at Ocean Park?" Ruoye Mu asked.

"Well, the tickets are too expensive. I don't want Xiangzi's mother to pay for them," he said softly.

Ruoye Mu showed no pity, simply saying, "Me too, it's my first time."

Come to Ocean Park.

"Huh?!" Banami was slightly surprised.

Although the original plan was to take Hanami to see the penguins, this conversation led Wakaba Mutsu to change her mind. Instead, she took Hanami to see the dolphin show and the underwater tunnel in the aquarium, where tropical fish danced above their heads.

Watching the beautiful young lady mimicking a mermaid, her graceful movements underwater.

All of this was so new to Banami.

"Are you happy?" Wakaba Mutsu asked.

"Happy, where's Sister Xiaomu?"

Banami asked in return, and Mutsu looked at her, thinking, "Being with you makes me happy."

Seeing that it was almost dusk, Ruoye Mu decided not to delay any longer and took the boy to the penguin enclosure at Ocean Park.

Penguins of different sizes made quacking sounds through the glass, eliciting delighted cries from children nearby accompanied by their parents.

However, Banami overheard a little girl say, "Mommy, Daddy, look! There's a big sister dressed as a penguin inside!"

The parents corrected them, saying, "That must be the penguin keeper."

"But, the older sister waddles from side to side like a penguin."

"Haha, that shows that the zookeeper is trying hard to integrate into the penguin group."

Listening to their conversation, Banami stared blankly at the girl in the penguin costume inside the glass.

In fact, the two had already met at the funeral, and even before that, Xiangzi's mother had shown him a photo of the other person.

The current Xiaodeng sister looks almost exactly the same as she did in high school, both in height and figure.

Looking at the other person, Ruoye Mutsu said softly, "Xiaoxi, Takamatsu Akari, is about to turn into a penguin."

***

Gao Songdeng is a well-known penguin keeper at Ocean Park. Her colleagues say that although she is a bit aloof, she works very hard. In order to take good care of the penguins, she even eats and lives in the penguin enclosure and usually wears a penguin suit and mingles among them.

Every penguin is very familiar with the Tall Pine Lantern, and over time, they may even start to reject other keepers.

In the end, Takamatsu became the only employee managing the penguin enclosure, and she rarely left the place.

“Coo coo...quack quack..." Takamatsu Akari, dressed in a penguin costume, said to the emperor penguin in front of her.

"Coo coo quack coo..." the emperor penguin said.

Gao Songdeng understood what the other party was saying. It meant that the baby had just been born and the temperature here was too cold. It hoped that the other party could adjust the temperature of the penguin enclosure.

Looking at the little penguin at the Emperor Penguin's feet, Takamatsu couldn't help but pat its little head and smile.

Recently, the penguins in the penguin enclosure have entered their mating season, and many chicks have been born, which makes Xiaodeng very happy.

She glanced casually at the outside of the penguin enclosure through the glass, where tourists were coming to see the penguins.

For a moment, Gao Songdeng felt that she was a real penguin and the people outside were humans. This realization actually made her feel more at ease.

But if I were human, being looked at by them would make me feel somewhat fearful and uneasy.

But soon, she saw a familiar figure, and the child beside her whom she had met once before.

Wearing a penguin costume, Takamatsu Takamori hurriedly left the penguin enclosure, but subconsciously turned her head to look back at the penguin couples who had now become pairs of penguins, and felt a strange sense of loss.

Soon, she went outside and saw that old friend, whom she didn't know very well, standing there.

"Muzi Rice Sauce...."

As a result, Ruoye Mu gently nudged the boy forward and said, "This is not necessary."

"for you."

After saying that, Wakaba Mutsu left Hachina alone there and then left on his own.

Chapter 40 Penguins also have mating seasons.

"Coo coo...caw caw..."

Upon seeing the somewhat unfamiliar boy, Takamatsu tilted his head slightly and made a sound like a penguin.

"Gaga?" Although Banami didn't know what the other person was saying, it seemed quite interesting, as if she wanted to learn the other person's language.

At this moment, Gao Songdeng realized that neither he nor the other person were penguins.

After a slight pause, she switched back to human language, something she hadn't done in a long time.

"You are...Saki-chan's child?"

"Hmm, good evening, Little Lamp Sister, I'm Banami Yu." The boy greeted him very politely.

"Why are you here?" Gao Songdeng asked.

"Uh, I was first taken away by Aunt Su Shi, then by Aunt Hatsune, and finally by Sister Mumi. Then she dumped me here with you." Banami told the other party about her experiences during this period in a concise and powerful way.

Xiao Deng tilted his head slightly, seemingly unable to understand what the other person was saying.

Banami knew that what she was saying was absurd, but it was the truth.

Then he said with a smile, "Little Lamp Sister, you look exactly like the photo that Xiangzi's mother showed me."

Everyone else had grown up to some extent. Even though Mu-chan looked a bit thin, she had still grown quite a bit taller. Only Xiao-deng looked the same as she did in high school, which made Bana recognize her at a glance.

“SAKI-chan..…”

Thinking of her deceased best friend from high school, the only one who truly understood her, Xiaodeng felt a pang of sadness. Then, this longing naturally shifted to the boy in front of her.

Although it's unclear why Ruoye Mutsu left the child here, it's obvious that Xiaodeng wouldn't just abandon her.

She gently took the boy's hand, only to find that his palm was much warmer than her own.

Having lived in the penguin enclosure for a long time, Xiao Deng hasn't felt the sun in a very long time.

But then she heard the child say, "Wow, Sister Xiaodeng's palms are so cool and comfortable."

Takamatsu looked at the boy with some surprise, thinking of the emperor penguin couple who were taking care of their newborn chicks.

"Let's go."

After saying that, Xiaodeng led the boy back into the penguin enclosure.

"Wow, it's so cold here."

"Because penguins live in temperatures below zero..."

"Huh?!"

Xiao Deng realized that she was talking nonsense again, so she quickly turned around, took out the down jacket that Ocean Park had given to the penguin enclosure staff, which she hadn't worn in a long time, and draped it over the boy's shoulders. She then put her thick penguin costume back on.

"How is it?" Little Lamp asked.

"It's much warmer this way." Banami smiled like the sun. After all, it was the size of a Takamatsu lamp, which was a bit big for a boy, but it was actually warmer.
