Chapter 5: Leave Immediately

But none of that was the important part.

The important part was why there was a magical girl sneaking into his house.

Lin Yizhou glanced toward Su Lili, who was hiding in a corner not far away.

He wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but this magical girl didn’t seem to have any hostility toward him.

Instead, she seemed… extremely excited.

Why?

After thinking for a while, Lin Yizhou arrived at a conclusion.

This magical girl probably thought she had him completely figured out.

That was why she looked so excited.

Otherwise, it made no sense.

Still, he was the leader of the monsters.

This attitude was a little too disrespectful.

He needed to teach her a lesson.

Otherwise, this magical girl would eventually suffer a huge loss because of her carelessness.

Thinking of that, Lin Yizhou took a deep breath.

He made his tone cold and merciless.

Like one of those impossibly powerful final bosses.

“Heh heh… foolish magical girl.”

“No matter what method you used to infiltrate this place, your journey ends here.”

“Leave immediately.”

“No one has to get hurt.”

As he spoke, Lin Yizhou released as much pressure as possible.

He wanted this magical girl to understand the difference in strength between them.

She had probably only recently become a magical girl.

She was weak and still didn’t understand how dangerous the world could be.

However, faced with Lin Yizhou’s overwhelming intimidation, Su Lili showed no fear whatsoever.

Instead, her eyes sparkled.

She looked like she was staring at her idol.

As his daughter, she naturally knew her father was somewhat chuunibyo.

But honestly, what grown man wouldn’t become a little chuunibyo while wearing such overwhelmingly powerful and invincible armor?

Yet seeing Su Lili’s worshipful gaze only confused Lin Yizhou even more.

Although he didn’t understand it, he did know one thing.

If she couldn’t be scared away, then he would have to throw her out.

“It seems you’ve chosen the wrong option.”

Lin Yizhou placed a hand over his faceplate.

Black flames instantly spread across his entire arm.

“Prepare to receive judgment…”

“Dad!!”

Before he could make a move, the little girl suddenly hugged his leg.

She affectionately rubbed her cheek against him.

That single action completely short-circuited Lin Yizhou’s brain.

After a long silence, he finally squeezed out a sentence.

“In order to survive, you’re willing to call anyone ‘Dad’?”

He shook the black flames off his hand.

Only now, seeing her up close, did he realize she looked to be around 10 years old.

Her appearance was exceptionally delicate.

Despite her young age, she was wearing black stockings that didn’t quite match her years.

Combined with her serious expression, it created a strange charm that was both mature and adorable.

In summary…

She might be suitable as bridge-blocking material for tonight.

Cough cough cough!!

Lin Yizhou quickly threw that bizarre thought out of his head.

Maintaining an unapproachable tone, he asked,

“What is your purpose here?”

Faced with Lin Yizhou’s question, Su Lili answered without hesitation.

“I came to find you, Dad!”

“…”

Lin Yizhou was completely speechless.

He hadn’t even graduated from college.

He didn’t even have a girlfriend.

Where exactly had this daughter, who looked barely over 10 years old, come from?

“No. You’ve got the wrong person.”

“I’m not your father.”

“No, no, no.”

“You are my father.”

“And I am your future daughter, Su Lili!”

“…Have you read too many novels?”

“Or have toxic short videos melted your brain?”

“If nothing else, I can buy you some practice workbooks to pass the time.”

Lin Yizhou stared at Su Lili.

He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but her face felt strangely familiar.

As though he had seen someone who looked very similar before.

“I’m telling the truth!”

Su Lili was getting anxious.

She discovered that her father was still the same thunderously dense straight man as always.

His brain seemed reinforced with steel and concrete.

Hard as a rock.

“Then show me evidence.”

Lin Yizhou spread his hands.

Naturally, he didn’t believe her.

And he was certain she couldn’t produce any real proof.

“I… can I really say it?”

Su Lili hesitated.

She seemed somewhat embarrassed.

“It won’t be very friendly toward you, Dad.”

Seeing her reaction, Lin Yizhou was already eighty or ninety percent convinced she was just fooling around.

So he casually waved his hand.

“Go ahead.”

“I’m not afraid.”

“Okay…”

Su Lili took a deep breath.

Then she rattled everything off at lightning speed without stopping.

“Dad your ShuoHua Chosen One laptop has a folder called Study Materials at the very bottom of Drive E and inside there is exactly 1 TB of flat-chested model photo collections and 3 TB of adult games most of them involve lolis and another 2 TB of cosplay and the password is—mmph mmph mmph!!!”

Before she could finish, Lin Yizhou hurriedly covered her mouth.

Forget everything else.

If this little girl kept talking, she would probably expose every single one of his casting materials.

After covering her mouth, Lin Yizhou asked again,

“Are you sure this isn’t some magical girl ability?”

“Mmph mmph…”

Su Lili shook her head repeatedly.

She didn’t look like she was lying.

Lin Yizhou’s voice suddenly became weak and exhausted.

He dismissed his armor.

The chuunibyo aura vanished along with it.

Then he released her and sighed helplessly.

“What was your name again?”

“Su Lili!”

“If you’re my daughter, then who is your mother?”

“Su Ziling!”

As she spoke, Su Lili took out the photograph.

Lin Yizhou focused on it and immediately recognized the people in it.

Weren’t they the brother and sister who had asked him for a photo at the convention not long ago?

They were even juniors from the same academy.

So that energetic girl was called Su Ziling.

After studying the picture a little longer, Lin Yizhou noticed something else.

This little girl named Su Lili did resemble both people in the photograph.

At least somewhat.

In other words, she might genuinely be related to them.

Pulling out several photos and placing them before Su Lili, Lin Yizhou pointed at the girl making a peace sign.

“Her?”

Su Lili looked at the person he indicated.

Her head immediately shook like a rattle drum.

“No, no, no.”

“That’s Auntie.”

At the same time, she raised a small finger and pointed at the more androgynous person standing nearby.

“This is Mom.”

“…?”

The corner of Lin Yizhou’s mouth twitched.

“Isn’t that a guy?”

Hearing this, Su Lili looked at him as if he were an idiot.

“Dad, are you stupid?”

“If Mom were a man, then where did I come from?”

“Did I pop out of a rock?”

If Lin Yizhou remembered correctly, if this Su Ziling really was a woman, then why did the girl’s so-called aunt constantly call her “bro”?

What kind of younger sister calls her older sister “bro”?

Besides, Su Lili was still young.

It wouldn’t be strange if she had mistaken something.

“He’s a man.”

“Mom is a woman.”

“Impossible.”

“Absolutely a man.”

“I heard people call her ‘bro.'”

“Dad, I didn’t study much biology.”

“But even I know that men and women make children.”

“Two men only result in structural damage.”

Looking at the stubborn little girl arguing with him, Lin Yizhou’s mouth twitched.

Then he pointed toward the television in the distance.

“Let me put it this way.”

“If she’s really a woman, then I’ll eat that screen on the spot!”
