Hundred Flowers Island, true to its name, was covered in blooming flowers throughout the seasons. A fragrant aroma filled the air, perfectly complementing the few elegant and comfortable wooden houses on the island.
Charlotte Linlin was lying leisurely on a huge hammock, enjoying the afternoon sun, holding a glass of fruit juice in her hand.
Just as she was in a pleasant mood, a figure filled with resentment descended from the sky with a "whoosh," the dark purple bat wings on her arms still trailing some airflow.
It was Kuri. The young girl was now thirteen years old and had grown increasingly beautiful, her sharp little tiger teeth and slightly pale skin carrying the unique aesthetic of the Vampire Fruit.
But her little face was currently scrunched up. She threw her small schoolbag, which had "Totto Land Academy" printed on it, fiercely into the flower bushes nearby, then threw herself onto the side of Charlotte Linlin's hammock and began to act spoiled while hugging her finger:
"otousan~ I don't want to go to school anymore! I'm already thirteen! Why do I still have to sit in a classroom with those six or seven-year-old brats who have snot running down their noses and only know how to play in the mud all day, reciting 'a, o, e'! I want to be like you, to gallop across the vast sea! To go on adventures! That is what a powerful vampire should do!"
Charlotte Linlin put down her fruit juice, her huge body turning slightly to the side, and a "kind and amiable" brilliant smile appeared on her face: "Well~ You don't want to go to school anymore? Sure~"
Kuri's eyes lit up, thinking her acting spoiled had succeeded.
However, Charlotte Linlin's next words made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave: "Perfect, let's play a game! Come to think of it, it has been quite a while since we last played the 'bowling' game in Sleeping Ancient Town. This lady is itching to play it again~"
Kuri: "!!!"
Looking at Charlotte Linlin's eyes, which were shimmering with "delight," Kuri felt the blood in her body turn cold! How could she have forgotten! One of the biggest hobbies of her jerk of a dad was "playing" with her! Although school was boring, at least it was safe!
"Wait... wait! otousan! I... I suddenly feel that school is quite good! Knowledge is power! I'll go back and do my homework right now!" Kuri screamed, turning around and wanting to spread her bat wings to escape.
But a palm, already like a descending firmament, pinched the back of her collar, as if grabbing the neck of her fate, and easily lifted her back.
"Want to run? It's too late, my dear Kuri~" Charlotte Linlin said in Kuri's ear, like a demon's whisper,
"Come now, my good child, let Daddy see if you have only been complaining during this time and neglected your physical training!"
"No—!!!" Kuri let out a desperate wail, her limbs flailing powerlessly in the air.
Charlotte Linlin, carrying the screaming Kuri, reached a flat, open area on the edge of Hundred Flowers Island in a few leaps.
"otousan! I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! I love school! I love learning! I still have so much homework to do, and I haven't finished my assignments! Please let me go back to study!"
Kuri put on the most pitiful expression, trying to awaken the potentially existing "motherly love" in Charlotte Linlin.
Unfortunately, Charlotte Linlin had the soul of a pure man inside; there was no motherly love, only "heavy" fatherly love that was like a mountain (or a mudslide).
She completely ignored Kuri's pleas for mercy, put one hand on her hip, and extended the other hand forward. Cold air surged from her palm, and accompanied by "clack, clack" sounds, more than a dozen crystal-clear ice bottles quickly condensed and formed in the air, arranged neatly in the distance.
"Assignments or whatever can be done later~ Exercising the body is the capital of revolution!" Charlotte Linlin grinned, revealing her white teeth,
"Come on, let Daddy check your resistance to hits! Go, Pikachu!"
