We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

.

At that moment, Toyokawa Kiyotaka happened to walk up to the second floor.

He stared at the still brightly lit lights in the side hall, and paused for a moment:

"Xiao Xiang, aren't you asleep yet?"

"Father, you are back."

Toyokawa Shoko got up from the house and ran out.

"I just finished playing the piano and haven't had time to wash up yet."

"Oh." Toyokawa Kiyoshi affectionately stroked his daughter's hair.

How was your day at school?

"It's...not bad," Toyokawa Shoko thought for a moment and replied, "A new transfer student has joined our class."

"He seems to have a good relationship with Wakaba Mutsu, and he also seems to be very good at studying."

“Then you can talk to him more,” Toyokawa Kiyoshi said. “Is he one of the male transfer students the school board mentioned before?”

"Yes."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded.

"Oh, that's good."

Kiyoko Toyokawa didn't find it strange that Tsukimori Girls' Academy was admitting some male transfer students.

He was a student at Kassel College and even joined the student council.

He endured even that, so what's the big deal if there are a few more boys in the school?

Kiyoyuki Toyokawa smiled and said to his daughter:

"My father was quite busy at work today and went out to handle some miscellaneous matters, so he came back a little late."

“Father, you’ve worked hard,” said Toyokawa Shoko, blinking her eyes.

Toyokawa Kiyotaka glanced into his daughter's golden eyes and inexplicably saw the shadow of his wife, Mizuho.

Like him, Toyokawa Mizuho's bloodline was at least Grade A according to Kassel College's grading standards.

However, Mizuho's bloodline has always been somewhat unstable, and she rarely has contact with the outside world until she met him, fell in love with him, and eventually married him.

Toyokawa Kiyoko married into the Toyokawa family, and had long forgotten the academy's requirement that "marriage between high-ranking hybrids requires an application."

They had a daughter, whom they named Toyokawa Shoko.

He thought his life had finally settled down, and that he would never again get involved in the conflicts between mixed-race individuals.

Until that day, Toyokawa Kiyotaka saw that his daughter's pupils had turned gold and never returned to normal.

"Ugh."

He sighed inwardly, trying his best not to let his daughter notice his emotional change.

He had always been worried that the interbreeding of high-level hybrids would result in an excessively high concentration of dragon blood in the next generation.

The good ones are just that their bloodline is a little unstable; the bad ones might fall into the form of 'demon', or even... become a dead servant.

Kiyoshi Toyokawa felt a little guilty.

Now, all he hopes for is that his daughter can live a peaceful life and never repeat the tragedy.

Most of the hybrids within the eight major families of the Snake Clan are trained from a young age after their bloodline talents are detected.

Toyokawa Shoko's eyes were always golden, though they lacked the imposing aura unique to mixed-race individuals.

But since it is the offspring of two A-grade hybrids, its bloodline rank is naturally not low.

However, Kiyoyuki Toyokawa still chose to send his daughter to a traditional school.

He and his wife, Mizuho, ​​carefully selected a school that offers a twelve-year integrated education.

That is, Tsukimori Girls' Academy.

Chapter 21 After get off work, I transform into a doting father (Part 2)

Toyokawa Kiyoko was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

He remembered a web novel he had read before, published by Dongda University.

The protagonist of the book is a magical girl who has been retired for a long time and has been raising her daughter alone after her wife passed away.

He originally wanted to leave the world of magical girls forever, and he didn't care if he went from being a once-famous figure to a middle-aged working stiff with a midlife crisis.

Until—he learned that his daughter was a magical girl.

Kiyotaka Toyokawa laughed nonstop when he first started reading this book.

This is simply a brilliant idea!

The male protagonist chooses to become a magical girl after his wife's death, and he also has to deal with his teenage daughter's problems during his midlife crisis, which is actually quite funny.

At the time, he didn't think too much about it. Family life was so warm and cozy. With Mizuho at home, his daughter wouldn't feel lonely.

She will surely grow up healthy and live a peaceful and stable life like an ordinary person until she grows old.

This was Toyokawa Kiyoko's greatest wish.

Unfortunately, life is full of disappointments.

His wife's death dealt him another blow, and Toyokawa Kiyotaka experienced the biggest setback since graduating from Kassel College.

He thought he had forgotten that deep sense of powerlessness and that unforgettable sorrow, but these memories were brought back to him in double measure at his wife's funeral.

"I hope Xiangzi's bloodline... won't be too turbulent..."

Toyokawa Kiyoshi thought silently.

Only now did he understand what the opening of that online novel, which he had once read for amusement, was trying to express.

In this respect, he now shares a similar tragedy with the protagonist of that book.

The only saving grace is that his daughter, Toyokawa Shoko, has not yet fully awakened her golden eyes and become a true mixed-race person.

He looked at Toyokawa Shoko and gave her a gentle smile:

"Go to sleep early, you have class tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll go to sleep right away."

Xiangzi obediently nodded.

"The music festival in Tsuki no Mori is about to start, and I'm still hesitating whether or not to go."

"If you have friends with you, then go together," Toyokawa Kiyoshi advised.

"You play the piano very well. Maybe I'll be able to see you on stage someday."

"I'm really looking forward to that day too." Toyokawa Shoko's eyes held a hint of anticipation, but then dimmed slightly.

"However, Mom can't see it."

"Damn it." Toyokawa Kiyoshi wished he could slap himself.

Mizuho taught her daughter to play the piano throughout her life; it can be said that Xiangzi's piano skills were entirely due to her teaching.

After his mother passed away, Xiangzi would think of her every time he played the piano, and he even placed a doll of her next to the piano at home.

Now that he's brought up the piano, won't that just make Xiangzi sad again because of his mother?

Toyokawa Kiyotaka used all his linguistic skills, carefully choosing each word as he spoke:

"Your mother will always be with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to slap himself again.

What kind of talk is this? It's like something out of a horror movie. How can you comfort a teenage girl like that?

But after hearing these words, Toyokawa Shoko nodded heavily, her eyes regaining their light:

“I understand what my father means. My mother definitely wants me to play the piano well because it belongs to ‘us’.”

"I'm going to wash up, Father. You should get some rest too."

Kiyoshi Toyokawa was stunned.

He watched his daughter's departing figure, remaining motionless for a long time.

--------

"call."

The night passed peacefully.

The sun rises as usual, and it's a new day.

Nan Yun Yuyue got up and made some breakfast.

He was just about to pack his lunchbox when he suddenly remembered the cucumber that Wakaba Mutsu had given him yesterday.

"Oh my god, I almost forgot about that."

Nan Yunyuyue then remembered that she had kept those cucumbers in her bag and hadn't taken them out even after getting home.

"It hasn't dried out by now, has it...?"

He opened the handbag he hadn't opened since he got home yesterday.

Inside, the little box that Ruoye Mu had given him was still lying there quietly.

Nan Yunyu hurriedly opened it. Fortunately, because the handbag and box blocked some of the sunlight, the cucumbers were only slightly dehydrated and were still relatively fresh.

Looking at the exquisitely crafted chocolate box and the cucumber inside, he couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

Ruo Yemu grew up in the spotlight, receiving attention because of her parents' fame.

Coupled with the cold atmosphere in her family, she came to believe that everything about her came from her parents, and that she herself was worthless.

Perhaps one of her most precious treasures is the cucumbers she grew herself.

That's why we see strange combinations like cucumbers being packaged in high-end brand bags.

This must be the unique sentiment hidden within the young girl.

Nan Yun Yuyue activated his LV3 cooking skill as recognized by the system panel, used the cucumbers and some other ingredients to make some lunch bento boxes, and then went directly to school.

"Gui'an."

"Gui'an."

On the way from the school gate to the classroom, many students who knew each other greeted each other.

After a day of novelty, the students of Tsukimori are now less surprised by the new male transfer students in the school, and at least they are staring at them less often.

Nan Yun Yuyue walked past the teaching building in front of the school and saw a figure in the plantation next to the teaching building.

Although it's called a plantation, it's actually just a small plot of land that Moon Forest has set aside specifically for the students.

You can grow some vegetables there, and some club activities are also held here.

Generally speaking, most of the young ladies in Moon Forest are obsessed with cute-looking potted plants, such as succulents, and it is rare to see them who actually like to grow fruits and vegetables.

Ruoye Mu is an exception; she has a particular fondness for growing these things.

At this moment, Xiao Mu is inspecting her cucumber field.

Tender green vines timidly reach out towards the bamboo trellis, their green leaves covered with a layer of soft fuzz, and a few small yellow flowers bloom nearby.

At this time of year, most of the cucumbers are ripe, and she has already picked some of the better-looking ones.

She took some home, while others were given away.

Nanon Ugetsu quietly walked over and stood next to Wakaba Mutsuki.

Seemingly sensing someone approaching, Ruoye Mu turned her head slightly, and upon seeing that it was Nan Yun Yuyue, she turned away again.

Cucumbers can be grown in spring, summer, and autumn, and she is preparing to plant them for the next season.

Hua Hua Hua——

The water from the watering can irrigated the cucumber field, moistening the soil.
