"Come on, eat your vegetables, don't be a picky eater." Mio gently placed food into her daughter's bowl and said.
"Ugh!" The Little Loli pouted. "Where's Daddy? Is he still not back yet?"
"Your daddy had some business to take care of today and went out." As she spoke, a look of worry appeared in Mio's eyes. However, she was also worried that her mood would affect her daughter, so she suppressed it and didn't show it.
Her face still wore that gentle smile, and it wasn't forced; after all, sitting beside her now was the crystallization of her and his love, her most precious daughter.
"Bang bang!!"
However, at that moment, violent knocking on the door reached the ears of the mother and daughter.
"Mommy..." Fear flashed in the Little Loli's eyes, and she burrowed into her mother's embrace. From the sound of the knocking, she knew it definitely wasn't her daddy.
There was panic in Mio's eyes too, but looking at her daughter in her arms, a look of determination appeared in her eyes.
"Quick, find a place to hide. After you escape, go find your Kaede." Mio said this. Someone had to stay behind to hold them off, and that person couldn't be her daughter, so it had to be her.
"No, I don't want to!" The Little Loli cried. "Mommy, come with me! Daddy and Kaede can definitely protect us!"
"Be good, listen to me!" Mio said sternly to her daughter for the first time.
"Ugh..."
"Don't cry!" Mio said, putting her daughter into the inner room. "Hurry and escape through the window, then go find your Kaede!"
As she spoke, Mio looked at her daughter, whose little face was streaked with tears. She hardened her heart, pulled away her daughter's hands that were clinging to her, and then walked back out.
Mio watched her front door shaking more and more violently, and finally, the door, unable to bear the strain, collapsed with a bang.
In Mio's eyes, a man with a scar on his face walked in with a devilish smile.
"Who are you?" Mio forced herself to calm down and asked the man, staring at him. She had to stay calm to buy time for her daughter.
"Me? I'm a friend of Boros." As he spoke, the smile on Syura's face deepened.
"Impossible. Boros doesn't have a friend like you." Mio said directly, a trace of pride appearing in her eyes, as if saying that someone like him wasn't qualified to be Boros's friend.
"Oh You know your husband quite well You seem quite loving." Syura also saw the look in Mio's eyes, which inexplicably made him very unhappy, but the smile on his face didn't fade, because this was even better!
The more loving they were, the more desperate Boros would be when he returned and saw his wife's ugly state! He would reveal an even more perfect, ugly display!
Mmm, I'm getting a bit too excited to hold it in.
Syura licked his lips, staring at Mio with glowing eyes.
"What... what are you going to do?" Mio couldn't help but step back a few paces as she looked at Syura, a look of horror appearing in her eyes.
"Ugh, Daddy..." Little Loli jumped down from the window, but she wasn't careful and fell to the ground. The clothes over her knees were torn, and her delicate skin underneath was scraped, leaving bloody marks.
However, Little Loli didn't cry out. She understood that she couldn't attract anyone's attention right now. Enduring the pain in her leg, she headed toward where Kaede was via a different path. Little Loli also knew that those bad people were blocking her front door, and if she took the usual route, she would definitely have to pass by them, so she had to take another way.
"Daddy, Kaede..." Little Loli ran, sprinting in the direction where Kaede was.
A light drizzle fell from the sky, seemingly intensifying the sorrowful atmosphere of the moment.
...
At this moment, Syura heard a commotion coming from outside. He frowned, then smiled, "It seems your husband has returned. He came back just in time!"
As he spoke, Syura reached out to grab Mio.
"No..." Mio kept backing away, and Syura kept advancing.
Just as Syura was about to grab Mio, he suddenly froze. It wasn't that he wanted to stop, but he felt as if his wrist had been grabbed.
However, when Syura looked around him, there was no one there.
The next moment, a figure wearing white armor appeared beside him; it was Tatsumi wearing the Stomach-Churning Demon.
At this moment, Tatsumi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had made it in time.
When they arrived, they saw that the front of Boros's house was surrounded by people, and the rest were blocked outside. Tatsumi had used the ability of the Stomach-Churning Demon to turn invisible and rush inside, and that was when he saw this scene.
Mio also saw Tatsumi at this moment. She recognized this armor and knew that he was Kaede's subordinate. Since he had come, she should be fine. Thinking of this, Mio finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey! You brat, do you know who I am? Let go of me right now!" Syura glared at Tatsumi, having recognized him as the Teigu User by Kaede's side.
"Of course I know who you are!" Tatsumi said through gritted teeth. How many times had he chosen to endure because of Syura's status, and he had almost desecrated Boros's family.
Clenching his teeth and widening his eyes, rage erupted continuously in his heart.
"Since you know, then let me go quickly!" Syura smiled after hearing that.
Tatsumi released his hand.
"Oh?" Syura rubbed his slightly sore wrist and looked at the Tatsumi in front of him. "You're quite obedient, aren't you? Then go grab that bitch for me~"
"Bang!!"
Before Syura could finish speaking, his expression suddenly froze. The pain coming from his stomach made his eyes bulge out.
"Boom!"
The next moment, Syura's figure flew backward.
Tatsumi maintained his punching posture. He could no longer endure it; if he was to be punished, so be it!
The group of people outside was in a standoff, but at this moment, a person flew out from inside the house, moving at such a speed that no one could react.
The figure slammed heavily into the wall. It was only then that Ieyasu, Dorothea, and Enshin saw that the person who had flown out was their boss, Syura.
After a pause, the three of them came to Syura's side.
"Yo, you got beaten up!" Dorothea, with her loli figure, teased Syura, who was bleeding from his mouth and looking quite miserable.
Meanwhile, Ieyasu just held his beloved sword and didn't speak.
As for Enshin, he looked at Kurome with lecherous eyes. As for Syura being injured? What did that have to do with him?
"Sigh." Nahash, seeing this scene, of course knew that Tatsumi had done it. He sighed. It looked like this wouldn't be easy to settle this time, but that was fine. Kaede already knew about Syura; it was time to solve this problem.
Boros didn't care about any of this. He rushed inside, saw Mio standing next to Tatsumi, and immediately hugged her.
Cold sweat still remained on Mio's forehead, but a gentle smile still hung on her face. "I'm fine, Husband."
"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay..." Boros felt a bit guilty. At this moment, Boros paused and looked around. "Where's Little Mei?"
"I had her jump out the window to find Kaede," Mio said.
"The General?" Tatsumi's eyes lit up, and then he smiled. Even though Kaede's current state wasn't good, Tatsumi still believed that Kaede could solve this matter in the most perfect way.
Knowing that the General might also be coming, Tatsumi's heart suddenly relaxed again.
"Hmm, calculating the time, she should be almost at the location."
"Alright, you guys wait here. I'll go out and take a look. That guy is definitely shouting again." Tatsumi said as he walked out.
After Tatsumi walked out, Boros held Mio and told her his decision.
"Hmm, no matter what kind of decision it is, I will support you." Mio didn't say anything else, just continued to look at Boros with that gentle gaze.
