"There's really nothing we can do about this kid like you."

I sat up slightly, held Cirno in my arms, gently stroked her smooth blue shoulder-length hair, and looked at her sweet, round, beautiful and lovely face, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile.

A warm smile appeared.

No, wait, this is such a picture full of warmth between mother and daughter. Is it true that I am really exuding a strange radiance of maternal love now?

I was so frightened that I quickly shook my head and stopped gently hugging and stroking my head. Even the joy of escaping from the dead was diluted a lot.

"Cirno, wake up, Cirno, it's time to wake up." I shook Cirno's shoulders to wake her up.

"Hmm~~~Mom~~~" Cirno shouted delicately as she rubbed her eyes, then came up to me affectionately and left a cold, sweet good morning kiss on my face.

"Mom, good morning."

"Good morning, Cirno." I smiled stiffly, and had no choice but to lean in and give Cirno a gentle kiss on her icy little face.

Fortunately, it doesn't seem to automatically restore the original body when sleeping, and it still maintains the transformation of the Holy Moon Wise Wolf. Otherwise, it would be a lot of fun.

However, it is uncomfortable to maintain such a transformation for a long time. It is not an option, I thought to myself, rubbing my sore shoulders.

You have to fool Cirno quickly and then change back to your true form.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"This... I'll do the math... I'll do the math..." Cirno quickly raised her fingers to take credit, and began to count with difficulty.

Forget it, even if you calculate it, it probably won't be the correct answer. You can't count on this idiot daughter.

I touched Ciruno's head comfortingly, removed her from my arms, and immediately got up. I combed it a little. This long, black hair was really troublesome. Unlike before, it was covered with short, dull hairs.

Save the effort of looking in the mirror.

"Ciruna, come and help mom comb her hair." Perhaps she saw the troubled look on my face. Cirno volunteered to come forward and stood behind me. She conjured an ice comb out of thin air and grabbed a strand of black hair.

Comb it carefully, slowly from the beginning to the end. Comb it again.

At first, I was afraid that Cirno was clumsy and didn't know how to comb people's hair. I didn't expect that she was quite skilled. Although she was not as professional as Willas and others, at least she was a hundred times better than me.

Maybe this is a woman's natural talent.

"Mom's hair is so nice." Cirno said enviously when she saw a bunch of smooth black hair in her hand slipping from her fingers inadvertently, like running water.

"Really?" I tilted my head. At this time, should I be happy or troubled? It really gives me a headache.

"Cirno's hair is not bad, it's very smooth. If she had long hair, she would be like me." After thinking about it, I responded casually.

"Really? Okay, it's decided. From today on, Cirno will have long hair like her mother."

"Just as long as Cirno likes it." I laughed bitterly. I didn't expect that one sentence would make her make such a determination. Does this count as tampering with the settings?

Let me explain in advance that I am definitely not a long-hair person, it’s just relative. It’s relative. Tia’s move of growing long hair has little to do with me. At most... at most it only has a small relationship. I have never had anything to do with it.

She said that I prefer girls with long hair, maybe there is a little bit of this tendency, and she just noticed it.

I thought guiltily, and slowly, I began to enjoy Cirno's hair combing with peace of mind.

"Mom, this mask..."

Since you were combing my hair, you couldn't avoid the mask on the back of my head. Sure enough, after a while, Cirno asked.

"This is... ahem, by the way, this is a personal preference. Just ignore it, Cirno. Don't take it off."

I muttered to myself, this thing was just like when it was on Yaoyue Langsha's face. No matter how I picked it off, I couldn't take it off. Fortunately, it didn't affect anything.

"Really?" Cirno tilted her head, her eyes flickered, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Excuse me, I heard the noise inside, and I was wondering if Wu has already..." The red and white princess suddenly pushed the door open, listened to the voice, and stared at the scene before her.

"Sorry, it seems I came at the wrong time." She suddenly took a few steps back.

"Although I don't know what you are thinking, but there is definitely a misunderstanding?" I looked at her speechlessly.

"To me, such a warm mother-daughter scene is really dazzling. The maternal love in Wu's body is really getting stronger and stronger."

"German-style arch bridge fall!" In a flash, I came behind the red and white princess and stretched out my hands to hug her hard. Unfortunately, this cunning princess seemed to have expected it, and she still escaped.

"Idiot Reimu, you're here to fight against me for mother again, get out quickly." Cirno, who was enjoying combing her mother's hair, angrily rushed towards the Red and White Princess.

The fight finally stopped and I coughed lightly for a few days.

"What day is it today? How many days have I slept?"

"Three days." Unlike Cirno, the Red and White Princess gave me the answer immediately.

"Has it been three days? Then can I..." I began to be eager to go home again.

"Please wait a few more days, now is not the time."

"Really? Then I'll just wait a few more days." I sighed, knowing that I couldn't force it, I could only accept the reality.

"Mom, are you leaving again?" Cirno heard the clue and hugged my arm nervously.

"Yes, mom is going to a far away place and has to leave Cirno for a while." I gently touched her head, thinking that now was the time to change back to her original form.

"No, Cirno doesn't want mom to leave. If you want to leave, take Cirno with you." Cirno hugged my arm tightly, as if she was afraid that I would disappear all of a sudden.

"Ciruna, be obedient." Seeing this, I had to show my mother's majesty.

"As a clan of ice fairies, we must first learn to be independent. I haven't come to see you for this reason. When you learn to be independent, I won't have to leave and we can be together forever."

"Really?" Cirno's eyes lit up when she heard the words "together forever". Then she showed hesitation.

"This short separation is for the sake of being together in the future. Cirno, who is as smart as ice and snow, should know what to choose, right?"

"Cirnuo understands." She nodded with difficulty. Cirno's eyes were filled with tears and she looked at me reluctantly.

"Cirnuo will learn to be independent. When the time comes, mother must come to see Cirno, and she must not break her promise."

"Absolutely not." I smiled softly and stretched out my little finger to hook Cirno.

Only when you learn to be independent can you meet each other. This is a false proposition and even a self-contradictory question. What exactly does it mean to be independent? You are independent only when you can be happy alone and no longer need the company of others. However,

Since I no longer need the company of others, there is no need for me to appear.

However, unless I don't use the Holy Moon Sage Wolf in the future, otherwise, I will still have to appear in front of Cirno sooner or later, just take it one step at a time, alas.

Looking back, I saw the red and white princess giving me a thumbs up, as if she was praising me for my excellent skills in coaxing my daughter. I am not the father of three and a half daughters. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.

"Ciruna, you are such a good boy. I believe you will learn to be independent soon. I will definitely come back to find you when the time comes." Seeing that the time is right, I strike while the iron is hot and simply pretend to be missing now.

"Uuuuuuu~~~Mom~~~Didn't he say it would be a few more days before we could leave?" Cirno cried, holding on to my sleeve.

Oops, she heard what I just said. After thinking about it, I can only continue to lie. Although I feel sorry for Cirno, I really don’t want to maintain the Saint Moon Sage Wolf transformation. I am very tired both physically and mentally.

.

"Although I'm leaving in a few days, I have some things to deal with now. That's good. I'll go find Cirno before I leave. At least I'll let you see me off."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

After much hesitation, Ciruno's little hand finally let go, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I couldn't bear to touch her head, leaned forward, and kissed her cold, smooth face.

"Cirnuo is such a good boy, don't worry, I will definitely come to you in a few days."

"Definitely, definitely come!"

Under those sad and pitiful calls and gazes, I made up my mind, opened the door, left the room, quickly hid in a corner, and canceled the transformation.

Finally... I finally changed back. With tears streaming down my face, I touched my chest and then my bottom, for fear that something was missing.

But Cirno is really pitiful. If possible, I don't want to deceive her like this. Forget it, I have to be nicer to her in the future and make up for her.

Thinking like this secretly, I hid for a long time, until I noticed Cirno's leaving breath, and then I went back with a look of guilt on my face.

"Oh, it finally changed back to its original state." The red and white princess was still sitting there, drinking tea leisurely. It's strange that a guy like this who doesn't do his job can make money.

I complained secretly and sat cross-legged opposite her.

"Leaving?"

"Well, I left. I left heartbroken. What a cruel mother I was."

"Stop talking, I already have a terrible headache." I held my head and screamed.

"Well, remember before you leave, just go to her home and look for her in the Lake of Mist. Otherwise, this idiot will definitely escape privately to find Wu, which will make it even more troublesome."

"I understand, Lake of Mist, right? I'll trouble you to lead the way when the time comes. By the way, what's going on outside?"

In order to escape reality, I had to change the topic and pointed outside the door.

"Outside? Is there anything wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with anything!" I pointed to the broken beams and columns outside the door, angrily flipped up the coffee table and complained, who else's home looks like this.

When I went out to transform just now, I accidentally took a few glances and got a rough idea of ​​the surrounding environment.

Like a certain setting, roughly speaking, this shrine can be described as follows: Once upon a time, there was a mountain. There was a temple on the mountain, and there was a little witch in the temple.
