Chapter 171: Tangled
Seele's fantasy about love is still very pure; even among those Valkyries who could be described as 'surrounded by a pack of wolves,' she could be considered a little naive.
This might be because Seele is relatively young compared to other Valkyries and has not yet reached the age of 'hunger.' Additionally, she has a relatively kind personality. When facing this pure girl who has grown up, even a Valkyrie who is almost crazy about the captain will show some kindness in her heart.
Although this kindness isn't much, it's what makes people realize how unique Seele is. Facing those who are like hungry beasts, Seele, who only reveals some dark thoughts at certain times, is as pure as a little white rabbit.
Looking at the little one who was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, Seele couldn't help but feel a bit of ambition she had never thought of before, slowly spreading in her heart...
Little Ai Yi inherited all the advantages of her parents. Her cute appearance naturally arouses humans' protective instincts, not to mention her identity as the captain's daughter to the Valkyries who once served on the Hyperion.
It undoubtedly adds a thicker filter to her image, making her a special treasure to the Valkyries...
Just thinking about the identity of little Ai Yi's mother made all the Valkyries a little crazy. Why wasn't the mother of this little one before them themselves?
Seele's face was now slightly flushed, and she was breathing heavily and hastily: "Little Ai Yi, can you... can you call me mom?"
At some point, her pupils turned blue and red. At this moment, the two wills and personalities with originally different ideas aligned surprisingly well!
Their goal was to get this little one before them to call her 'Mom'... Though strictly speaking, Seele herself could barely be considered a 'child,' this didn't impact her desire, right?
But after hearing this familiar question, even Little Ai Yi could sense something peculiar in Seele's behavior and tone...
Instinctively, Little Ai Yi sensed a hint of danger and subconsciously took a step back.
But this little alert action of Little Ai Yi made Seele's originally fervent emotions ease slightly: 'Did I accidentally scare this child?'
Filled with inner panic, her heart was now overwhelmed by a strong sense of self-blame.
"Well, Ai Yi, just think of it as if I'm talking nonsense, please... Ugh!" Before Seele could finish explaining, she suddenly felt the pain coming from her mouth; she had accidentally bitten her tongue.
The pain wasn't a big deal, but her dignity in front of the captain's daughter was truly ruined! Most importantly, she scared the little one in front of her...
'You're so stupid you can't even do something as simple as communicating with a child!' Hearing the voice in her mind, Seele could even imagine another version of herself stamping her feet in anger.
'I'm sorry to the other me... No, now is not the time to apologize; hurry up and think of a solution!
'No I've never seen such a situation before...' Veliona was also very distressed.
...
"Seele... Auntie." Seeing the aunt who was chatting happily suddenly become flustered because of what she did and even bite her tongue...
Little Ai Yi could even see tears flickering in Seele's eyes at this moment.
'Did I accidentally hurt Aunt Seele just now because of my caution?' Little Ai Yi thought with some guilt.
Although she may act mischievously on occasion, Little Ai Yi is still a loving and good child at heart.
Seele, not knowing what she was saying at this moment, slowly raised her head.
Although Aunt Mei approached her for different reasons...
Little Ai Yi was also considering her thoughts carefully, but the Aunt Seele before her looked so gentle and kind... and a little bit silly.
She couldn't be the kind of person who comes after her dad with 'ulterior motives,' right?
And seeing Seele look as if she were about to cry, Little Ai Yi couldn't help but feel a bit guilty. She stood on tiptoe and slowly stretched out her little hand to touch the corners of Seele's eyes.
She wanted to try to wipe away Seele's yet-to-fall tears.
"Mommy Seele... don't cry; just cast some magic gently..." Little Ai Yi used her chubby little hands to make strange gestures in the air. " The pain flew away!"
Watching Ai Yi's words and her innocent, childlike behavior, Seele was momentarily stunned: 'What did this child call me just now?'
Seeing Aunt Seele before her really 'no longer feel pain,' Little Ai Yi stood there with her hands on her hips proudly.
"Mommy Seele, this is the magic that Daddy taught little Ai Yi. It's really very effective, isn't it?" After saying that, little Ai Yi looked at her with her big, round eyes, twinkling and as cute as two azure gems!
"Mommy.....Seele?" With her lips trembling slightly, Seele repeated those four words.
"Yes, Mommy Seele!" Little Ai Yi called out again firmly. 'This auntie is really pitiful. Since she has such a wish, I'll grant it.'
Little Ai Yi even felt she was doing a good deed, just as her teachers at school had taught her.
A great feeling of happiness spread through Seele at this moment.
'Am I going to be a mother now? I even feel a bit overwhelmed.'
Just as she was feeling slightly dazed, Seele's eyes turned red again.
Her entire demeanor shifted slightly as she hugged Little Ai Yi suddenly, only to realize it might be too much again.
"Good girl, truly a good girl!"
"Mommy, I'll treat you well in the future! Come on... call me a few more times now." Little Ai Yi was so excited that she felt a little breathless in Seele's embrace.
Taking into account Aunt Seele's earlier murmurs, as if there were others around, and the sudden change in tone...
A terrifying guess flashed in Ai Yi's clever little mind...
