’Oh no, no, no!!! What happened to my house?!’

Yumo finds it hard to accept the extensive damage to several rooms and couldn’t help but grab her head in disbelief.

"My...my house, sob*..."

Having been troubled by housing issues back on earth, Yumo has an inexplicable attachment to her own house.

However,

Her first quaint little wood home was destroyed by the so-called Asumos Apostles...

Her second luxurious villa suffered major damage due to Liyu and others fooling around...

And now, her third house, or rather, apartment...

(Since the Black Rose family had bought this apartment, it’s now considered Yumo’s.)

This third apartment, after only a few days of residence, faced such ruthless destruction!

"Who did this?!"

Feeling a strange vibe in the house, anger flashes in Yumo’s eyes. An angry Yumo clenches her fists and quickly goes downstairs, planning to ask her daughter what exactly happened in the house.

However,

When Yumo hurriedly reaches the living room, she finds it empty. The little one who was eating at the dining table is nowhere to be found, which furrows Yumo’s brows.

"Hmm? All the food on the table is finished? Also, Yuan’er?... Where did that child go?"

In the house,

’It seems like the child’s not here? Did she go out again? Or... is she in the bedroom?’

Confused,

Yumo heads towards her bedroom upstairs.

Since her room has a barrier that blocks sensing, and not wanting to forcefully destroy the barrier and waste magic stones, Yumo walks leisurely to the second floor, and directly opens the door to her bedroom.

"Yuan’er? Are you there?..."

However, seeing the silent room, Yumo swallows the words she was about to say next.

"It seems, that kid isn’t here..."

Moreover,

Her room, fortunately, has been spared. It hasn’t been destroyed like the other rooms, remaining neat and tidy, filled with an elegant and noble atmosphere, along with a touch of girlish sentiment.

"Hmm? What’s that?"

While inspecting the room, Yumo unexpectedly notices a conspicuous white envelope on the desk. Obviously, there wasn’t such a letter in the room before she left.

Curious, Yumo walks over, opens the envelope, and starts reading its contents.

And as she reads, her red eyes slightly narrow.

"What’s this? A letter? from Yuan’er?"

The content of the letter was straightforward and brief.

--"Mommy! I won’t be coming home tonight! I’m going to play with Meliora’s ! Also, since Meliora hasn’t eaten yet, I took all the tasty food from the dining table! Don’t worry about me; Meliora and I are safe!"--

The letter ended with Yuan’er’s signature.

Although the handwriting was a bit messy and the format was all wrong, it conveyed a simple message to Yumo: [her daughter was going to spend the night at her friend’s house and wouldn’t be coming home.]

"Ah, this kid. She played with Meliora all day and still wants to hang out more? Is she worried I’d say no if she asked me in person? Well, children her age love to play, it’s normal. At least she’s better than Pierre and Limo were; she knows to come home for meals and to let me know what’s going on."

Yumo felt a bit better comparing Yuan’er’s behavior with Pierre and Limo’s past actions. She sighed, put away the first letter her daughter had written to her, and muttered to herself,

"It’s rare for her to have a friend she can play with without getting into trouble. Yuan’er is obedient; she knows her limits."

Just then, the door behind Yumo slowly opened.

"Hmm?"

Since only she and Mengxi were in the house, Yumo had a pretty good idea who it was. She sighed guiltily and began to turn around.

"I’ll prepare a room for you in a bit. For now, you can go to— Heh!?!"

Before she could finish, her words came to a sudden halt. Seeing the scene behind her, Yumo stood there, stunned, as if struck by lightning.

"Mengxi?"

She looked at the young girl who seemed to have just taken a bath. She looked like an angel. Yumo felt something she couldn’t describe in words and got a bit nervous.

Right then, a young girl stood quietly at the door. It was a freshly bathed Mengxi. She looked amazing, even more than usual. Her eyes sparkled, and her skin looked perfect. Her cheeks were a bit pink, and her lips looked really soft.

The woman standing there was wrapped only in a thin towel, revealing glimpses of her flawless skin and stunning body through the rising steam and white fabric. Unlike before, she seemed shy due to her scanty attire, losing her usual poise.

Her face was flushed, one hand holding the towel tightly against her chest to prevent it from slipping, while the other hand was stretched to cover her private area. Her legs were tightly pressed together, and she even stood a bit pigeon-toed out of shyness.

No doubt, she was a sight to behold, making any onlooker’s heart race with her seductive figure and actions, not to mention the beads of water trickling down her hair and legs.

-"Beautiful…"- Yumo couldn’t help but think inwardly.

But then, Yumo frowned. Seeing Mengxi’s wet silver hair and exposed skin, she bit her lip in slight annoyance.

"What are you doing? You’re still wet and not dressed. Do you want to catch a cold?"

She felt like she was back in their old days in the cold winter forest, treating Mengxi like a little sister who always ran around after bathing, much to Yumo’s annoyance.

Yumo sighed and grabbed a towel from the bed, quickly walking up to Mengxi and started drying her hair.

"You’re the Girl of Destiny, for heaven’s sake. It’s not appropriate for you to run around like this, even if nobody else is around."

"But..." Mengxi looked down, feeling a bit wronged, and couldn’t find the words to explain.

"But what?"

"I... I don’t have any clothes to wear. You took my only school uniform, so I had to..."

"Oh…"

"I see, your dorm was blown up and you came here for shelter... Where would you get a change of clothes? I can’t believe I forgot that when I told you to take a shower."

Feeling a bit awkward, Yumo scratched the back of her head. Her eyes filled with guilt as she said,

"I’m sorry, I forgot about that."

"So, do you have any other clothes I can wear?"
