Chapter 114: Chapter 114: "I Just Want to See You Wear a Bunny Girl Outfit"
Noah said that her essay writing went smoothly.
Although she couldn't guarantee a 100% chance of winning first place, with the unique theme of "Parental Love," entering the top eight was not a problem.
The couple was very happy for their daughter.
However, based on previous experiences, they didn't rush to open the champagne this time.
Until the first-place trophy is in hand, the champagne bottle cap will stay firmly welded shut—no one gets to touch it.
It's worth mentioning that the essay was completed independently by Noah. During the creative process, the couple did not give any suggestions or even "check-in."
They both knew that if the process of writing an essay is scrutinized by others, it will lose all of its original possibilities.
So, out of respect for their daughter, Leon and Rossweise tacitly chose to wait quietly.
Even after Noah finished writing the essay, they didn't ask to read it when she didn't bring it up.
When the results are out and if she achieves a good rank, there will be a small award ceremony in the class. Outstanding essays will be shared for everyone to appreciate—then it won't be too late to admire their daughter's work.
When it comes to respecting children, the couple always finds themselves on the same page without the need for discussion.
After all, the cornerstone of educating children is respecting them.
The day after completing the essay, Noah rode Leviathan back to the academy.
The ranking would take a few days to come out; now all they could do was wait patiently.
Leon held Luna in his arms and stood in the front yard alongside Rossweise, watching the giant dragon Leviathan gradually fly away.
Only when the massive creature disappeared from view did Leon turn around, holding Luna with one hand and pinching her little face with the other.
"What does Luna want to play today?"
As he spoke, Leon carried her toward the Silver Dragon Sanctuary.
Rossweise also turned around and followed a few steps behind.
The hair sprouting from the top of Luna's head wobbled—it was her usual expression when thinking, though she rarely thought deeply.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Luna said seriously, "Daddy."
"Hmm?"
"What exactly were you and Mommy doing on the beach that day?"
Leon stopped walking abruptly.
Even Rossweise, who was behind him, stood frozen in place.
He turned to look at Rossweise, who shrugged, her gesture saying, "I don't know how to explain either—you're on your own."
'Damn it!'
'Mother dragon, you were the one who came onto me first back then.'
During the final activity of their date two days ago, they had gone for a walk on the beach.
As they strolled, this foolish couple began to play pranks on each other.
It started with them stepping on each other's feet barefoot—Rossweise was at a disadvantage because when Leon couldn't step on her feet, he started stepping on her tail instead.
This led them to the shallow waters by the beach, where they began splashing each other.
Then, Rossweise slipped and fell backward.
Leon reacted quickly, grabbing her wrist and supporting her slim waist to pull her upright.
But due to inertia, Rossweise failed to regain her balance in time and unintentionally ended up leaning into Leon's arms.
The two gazed into each other's eyes, waves lapping at their calves, the sunset reflected in their pupils, and the atmosphere grew increasingly intimate.
And then... she impulsively kissed the corner of Leon's mouth.
That's it. Nothing more happened.
Really~ Nothing more happened.
After all, once they kissed, both realized the kids might still be secretly watching somewhere, so they didn't dare go further.
They thought such a fleeting kiss wouldn't have been noticed.
But was it actually spotted?
Wait, no.
If Luna had really seen them kiss, she wouldn't be asking, "What were you doing?"
She'd be saying something like, "You two kissed, didn't you~?"
So, it seemed that she and Noah had been watching but were likely blocked by Anna at that crucial moment?
That would explain her curiosity now.
Seeing that neither parent was answering, Luna continued, "Anna said that part wasn't suitable for kids, but I'm really curious—what were you and Mommy doing?"
Ah, so Anna had stepped in just in time.
The head maid had good intentions but overlooked Luna's curiosity.
At this age, little dragonlings are incredibly curious.
If Leon and Rossweise didn't give her a satisfactory answer now, they'd probably be pestered about it for the next week.
After thinking it over, Leon decided to explain in a gentle way.
"We weren't doing much; it's just that Mommy was thanking Daddy."
Luna scratched her head. "Thanking?"
"Yes, Mommy slipped, and Daddy helped her up, so she thanked me in a grown-up way."
Leon continued, "Adults have their own ways of expressing thanks, and kids have theirs. You shouldn't imitate adults, understand?"
Luna suddenly understood and nodded. "Oh, so that's what it was!"
"Exactly."
"Then when will Daddy thank Mommy in an adult way?"
Leon: —_—
Rossweise: "Pfft—"
She wanted to laugh but held back.
'Sweetheart, the day your father thanks me in an adult way will be when the sun rises in the west.'
"All right, Luna, don't ask so many questions. When you grow up, you'll understand."
Rossweise said, "Go play in the backyard with Daddy, but be careful. Mommy's going to the office to work."
Luna nodded obediently. "Okay. Mommy, take care!"
Rossweise leaned down, gently pinched Luna's cheek, and then walked into the Silver Dragon Sanctuary.
Leon carried his little daughter to the backyard.
———
After dinner, Leon sat at his desk, holding the last of the bunny girl photos, wondering where to hide it.
The other four were already hidden in places Rossweise would never find.
As for this last one, he still hadn't decided where to put it.
While he was thinking, the sound of the door unlocking interrupted him.
Leon quickly opened a drawer and stuffed the photo inside.
High heels clicked rhythmically against the floor.
Rossweise, dressed in a long gown, entered Leon's room.
Leon glanced at her. "What are you doing here? Staying over again tonight?"
Rossweise sat on his bed, crossed her legs, and smiled. "Why not?"
"Tch, suit yourself."
Leon held two trump cards—his well-rested body after two weeks of recovery and his secret bunny girl photo collection. His strategy was simple: if she didn't act, he wouldn't act; if she made a move, he'd counter fiercely.
But that was only in theory.
If this mother dragon gave him a chance, he wouldn't hesitate to strike first.
Rossweise casually adjusted her hair and looked out the window, saying seemingly unintentionally, "Didn't you ask me the other day what else you said in your sleep?"
Leon raised an eyebrow and turned his chair to face her. "What else did I say?"
Rossweise smiled knowingly, withdrew her gaze, and fiddled with her nails.
"You said you liked mature women... black stockings... stuff like that..."
Gulp—
Leon swallowed nervously.
Had he really revealed such private preferences while sleep-talking?
Was it possible that Rossweise had secretly given him some truth serum before bed?
"Well, it's understandable. Even the greatest dragonslayer is still a man. A little hobby is normal."
Leon forced a smile and stayed silent.
Knowing her usual way of talking, there was bound to be a twist coming.
"But—"
There it was.
"I don't get the whole... bunny girl thing."
'Bunny girl?'
Leon panicked.
Could she have discovered his secret stash of Rossweise bunny girl photos?
No, that couldn't be.
He'd just checked the hiding spots earlier—everything was still well-hidden.
Maybe he'd actually mentioned bunny girls while sleep-talking?
"Leon, do you like bunny girls?" Rossweise asked with a smile.
Leon felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He adjusted his posture but didn't deny it. "So what if I do? Personal preferences are free."
'Yes, preferences are free, and so are fantasies.'
[T/N: I will go with Yandere girls. What's yours?]
Rossweise shrugged. "I didn't say anything, did I? Why are you so defensive?"
She scratched her head as if recalling something. "Oh, right, you also said..."
She deliberately dragged out her words, enjoying Leon's mix of tension and curiosity.
"Said what?"
"You said you wanted one of your female classmates to dress as a bunny girl for you to see."
BANG!
Leon slapped the desk. "AUDACIOUS DRAGON! NONSENSE! I'd never say such a thing! And... and even if I did, it'd definitely be asking you to wear a bunny girl outfit for me."
Rossweise froze for a moment.
This brat actually used this momentum to confess his true thoughts?
