Raising Octopus Juvenile

As soon as Cecil returned to the mansion, he saw the old butler beside Kevin standing waiting outside her room, standing tall and tough, and his expression did not look impatient.

"Little Miss."

Seeing Cecil approaching, the butler bowed and saluted and said calmly: "Master is waiting for you in the study."

Cecil was not surprised: "I see."

She came to the door of the study with the housekeeper. The housekeeper stopped and bent over to signal, Cecil opened the door and walked in alone.

"Cecil, you don't knock on the door." Kevin, who was sitting at the desk, stood up and looked at the Xuefa girl with a slightly reproachful but helpless look.

"It will be next time." Cecil agreed very skillfully, and went directly to the subject after a turn of the conversation. "It's already so late. Is there anything Dad is looking for me?"

When Kevin heard the words, his face became more serious, and his handsome and elegant facial features were also a little more uncommonly cold. This is what he rarely shows when he is at home.

"I heard that you didn't come back with Lena today?"

Sure enough, it was because of this incident.

Cecil nodded: "Yes."

"You are Lena's sister, Cecil." Kevin taught her pampered daughter patiently, "Lina has just entered the academy and is not familiar with everything in the academy. You should help her more."

Cecil: "Is coming back with her to help her?"

Kevin was taken aback for a moment: "Of course. Lena will be lonely alone, and your presence by her side will make her feel a lot better."

Really delicate fatherly love.

Cecil moved his eyes slightly, as if he didn't really want to discuss this matter with the father in front of him. When Kevin saw that she seemed to be dissatisfied, he wanted to increase his tone, but after thinking about it, he still held back.

"Cecile, Dad knows you don't welcome Lena very much."

"But Lena is really a good boy. You can try to get in touch with her more. Dad believes that in a short time, you will be as close and talk as your sisters."

Cecil still ignored him.

It's not that she doesn't welcome Lena, she doesn't want to speed up her path to death.

If you don't provoke Lena, you will be killed by the world. If you provoke Lena, you will be killed by the targets. It is also difficult for her to balance the two to survive.

"Or, do you have an opinion on Dad?" Kevin asked suddenly.

—There is also this reason.

Cecil nodded and told him honestly: "Dad is too annoying, even the daughter with him is a bit annoying."

Kevin said amused: "But you are also Dad's daughter?"

Cecil: "So I'm annoying too."

Kevin: "..."

Sometimes, he really couldn't understand the child's brain circuit of Cecil...No, it should be impossible to understand most of the time.

There was a smile on Kevin's face, and the light softened his sharp facial lines, turning him back into a gentle and loving father without knowing it.

He bent down, rubbed Cecil's long white hair, and whispered, "Cecile, it's father's fault."

Cecil looked at him unclearly, not understanding what he was trying to say.

"I have no experience raising girls. I thought it would be as easy as raising Arnold, but you and Arnold... are very different." Kevin's eyes suddenly became soft and distant, as if he was looking at someone through Cecil. A far away place, "In addition to you now, there is another Lena. This makes me even more at a loss."

"You are all girls. As a father, I often cannot take care of all your emotions."

Kevin acted like a young man who was a new father, but Cecil knew very well that he would never be so overwhelmed.

"So, I have been thinking these days. Maybe you need someone more suitable than me to accompany you and teach you... a gentle, elegant... common mother." Kevin smiled, "What do you think, Cecil ?"

Cecil: "???"

What is this operation? It's so high-sounding, just want to add a stepmother to them? Is this for their consideration? It is obvious that he wants to remarry himself!

Saying that, maybe you have someone you like in your heart.

Bah, man!

Cecil once again expressed his contempt for the man in his heart, got up and got up from the seat.

"I don't care, you can do it whatever you like." She turned and walked out uninterestedly, as if thinking of something, her footsteps suddenly paused, "Just don't forget your mother."

She doesn't think it's a joy to be missed by such a man, but her mother hopes so.

Then she would not allow this person to forget his mother.

Kevin was slightly taken aback, and his expression was a little surprised.

After Cecil said this, he left without looking back.

After Cecil returned to his room, the first time he went to see the little octopus in the tank.

She originally planned to feed the little octopus some magic power when she came back, but Kevin disrupted her plan and had to put the little octopus back into the water tank first, without even having time to feed the little octopus.

"Poor little guy, you must be very hungry now?" Cecil knocked on the glass wall, looking expectantly at the movement in the water tank, "Come out, let's have dinner."

The water plants swayed slightly, and after a while, the little octopus slowly swam out from behind the water plants.

This reaction... doesn't seem to be very hungry.

Perceiving a completely different attitude from usual, Cecil frowned suspiciously, and carefully looked at the little octopus through the glass.

Well, it looks the same as usual, the eyes are still so round and big, the tentacles are still so many, the body is still so dark...

If you have to say something, it seems a bit bigger?

Cecil was a little suspicious of her eyes. She blinked her eyes twice, then stared at the little octopus carefully for a while, and finally was sure:

Xiao Yi has indeed grown up-although it may not seem obvious.

It seems that eating more meat is still useful!

Cecil happily patted the water tank, the little octopus blinked in confusion, slowly crawled out of the water tank, and went straight to her hand.

"Good job, Xiaoyi, you are finally grown up!" She encouraged to tap the head of the little octopus, and said with a smile, "I will continue to grow, and I will give you more meat."

When the little octopus heard these words, he squinted his eyes happily, and spit out a series of bubbles from under the roots of his tentacles, glowing like a rainbow.

"You can also blow bubbles, Xiaoyi, you are so versatile!"

Cecil praised the little octopus without hesitation, and the little octopus became even more happy when he heard the words. Just when one person and one fish were having fun, there was a steady knock on the door.

"Little Miss, are you asleep?"

It's the voice of the housekeeper.

Cecil raised his voice slightly: "No, what's the matter?"

"Master asked me to come over and ask you if I will go to school with Miss Lena tomorrow."

This is the problem again.

Cecil was ready to refuse subconsciously, and suddenly remembered an important thing.

According to the original plot in the game, Lina will meet her first target in the academy tomorrow, that is to say, the villain must be present tomorrow.

It's time for her as a tool to hinder (assist) the protagonist.

Cecil immediately changed his mind: "Well, it's all what Dad said."

"Yes."

The butler left. Cecil held up the little octopus and looked at it, then shook his head regretfully.

Little octopus: OwO?

It's a pity, if it can grow a little scarier, so that it can play a role tomorrow.

Forget it, she can do it herself.

The next day, Cecil and Lena shared the same carriage as promised.

In the carriage, the blonde and the snow-haired girl sat on one side, the two did not speak to each other, and the air was as dead as freezing freezing.

Cecil leaned back in the chair and looked out of the window with an absent-minded appearance. Lena clenched her skirt nervously, and tried to open up the conversation by looking at her secretly with her left light many times.

"Um...you are willing to go to school with me, I'm so happy."

Cecil put his cheek in one hand and looked out the window boredly: "Don't be wrong, I'm not voluntary."

Lena: "Hey?"

Cecil: "It's just my father's request. If you want to, thank him."

"Oh...oh, okay..." Lena fell down suddenly, even the voice of her words was a little frustrated.

The cabin was quiet again, Cecil hadn't changed much, but Lena fainted visible to the naked eye.

"Did he talk to you?"

After a while, Cecil spoke suddenly abruptly.

"What?" Lena didn't expect Cecil to speak up, and immediately cheered up.

"About the new mother."

Cecil was very concise, but Lena understood.

She bit her lower lip, then put the broken hair behind her ear, and whispered softly: "I think this is a good thing. In fact, I can take care of myself. Compared with my life, I care more about my father's How did he get through. He has never remarried, and he must be lonely in his heart. I hope he will not be immersed in the guilt of the past, but can let go of love and pursue his own happiness."

"..."

You think too much, your dad has lived happily these years, many times higher than you, Cinderella who eats chaff all day.

Cecil felt that Lena was so naive that she couldn't bear to break her fantasy.

So she forcibly ended the topic: "I'm at the station, get off the train."

She jumped out of the carriage first and sorted out the approximate timeline again.

After getting off the carriage with Lena, they will go to the White Owl House to start today's class. In order to cut corners, she will take Lena to a remote path next. Then on this trail, Lena would suddenly fall to the ground and just hit the oncoming Duke’s only son, who was the first target in the game-Alex Otis.

In this way, Cecil's task is very simple-just let Lena fall at the right time.

"Cecile, we seem to be late."

Lena glanced worriedly at the time on the clock tower ahead.

Cecil snapped his fingers: "It's okay, let's take a shortcut."

Simple, it is too simple.

The two walked quickly on the rugged and narrow path.

As Cecil remembered, there were no other people on the trail, only two of them. While controlling her speed, she stared at the front, for fear that they would finish the trail before the Duke's only son came.

As expected, before long, a hurried figure appeared in front of the path.

The figure is getting closer and closer, and it can gradually be seen that it is a young man with a long stature, about their age, luxuriously dressed, with beautiful features, and his bright red hair is as blazing as fire.

Lena gently pulled Cecil's sleeves: "Cecile, someone is here ahead, let's go slower."

Cecil: "No, I can't hit him again."

Lina had no choice but to follow her to move on. The young man on the opposite side was walking in a hurry, obviously not intending to slow down. Seeing that the distance between the two parties is getting smaller and smaller, and each other can see each other's faces clearly, the red-haired boy still has no intention of giving way, but Lina subconsciously wants to step back to one side and let him go first—

It's now.

Cecil chanted the spell silently, and was about to use magic to smooth the road under Lena's feet, when a translucent tentacle like spider silk suddenly stretched out from her pocket.

No one noticed this little thing, all three of them were focusing on their own affairs.

The tentacles went around behind Lena at a ghostly speed, wrapped her ankle quietly, and then gently tugged—

"what!"

Lena suddenly let out a scream. In the next second, she fell face to the ground and fell a sturdy dog ​​to eat shit.

Cecil was stunned.

"…puff."

The hurried Master Duke finally stopped. He looked at the girl who fell in front of him and laughed impolitely.

Cecil: "..."

This, this is completely different from the romantic scene in the original plot! Lena was supposed to crash into the arms of the Duke Master, how did she make a fool of herself in front of him?

Cecil was confused, and at this moment, she suddenly heard a faint laugh.

Clear and cheerful, exactly the same as the voice of the teenager she had heard in her dream before.

Only this time, there was more schadenfreude.
