In the dining room, Illya and Sitonai stared at each other with wide eyes.
Illya's face was full of disbelief, her gaze carefully lingering on Sitonai's face, as if trying to find differences between herself and Sitonai.
Although she had already learned from Shin that since Irisviel came from a parallel world, it was normal for that parallel world to have another version of herself, when Sitonai actually appeared before her, Illya still felt the impact was enormous, and she would probably need quite some time to fully recover.
Sitonai's expression was much calmer, since although she still retained a childlike personality, her mindset was more mature than Illya's.
After all, she had grown up for over ten years in the harsh environment of the Einzbern family, while Illya was not only younger than her, but had also grown up in a much better environment.
Although Sitonai was also quite shocked when she first saw Illya, having been given advance notice by Shin, she quickly accepted this fact.
"Anyway, from now on Sitonai is also a member of our family."
Shin sat in his chair, spreading butter on his bread while speaking to the others at the dining table.
Shin had already roughly explained Sitonai's situation to everyone, letting them all understand that she was the parallel world version of Illya.
Although this kind of thing would sound like fantasy elsewhere, thinking carefully, Irisviel and Illya originally came from different worlds, so the parallel world explanation had precedent.
"Mm... But this way there's one more person competing with me for Papa."
Illya frowned slightly—she didn't harbor any ill will toward Sitonai, she just noticed that the other's identity overlapped with hers, making her instinctively wary.
In her original world, she only had Irisviel as family, and now being summoned by Shin, she finally had a father and could enjoy paternal love.
But before long, Shin had brought back another daughter from a parallel world, which made her worry that Sitonai would take away her "paternal love."
Sitonai noticed Illya's expression but didn't speak, though her heart harbored completely different thoughts from Illya's.
Illya was still just an 11-year-old little girl. Although she looked the same as herself and even had similar measurements, her 17-year-old mindset was different from Illya's.
Illya was obviously only worried about Sitonai taking away her "paternal love," but Sitonai's thoughts weren't limited to just paternal love.
"How wonderful, this way Miss Irisviel would have two daughters, wouldn't she?"
Katou Megumi looked at Illya and Sitonai, speaking with what seemed like envy.
Obviously, what she envied wasn't Irisviel having two daughters, but rather having such "family" bonds with Shin, which would make her relationship with him appear more intimate.
Originally, Irisviel and Shin having Illya as their "daughter" had already made her quite envious, and now there was another one.
With these words, the expressions of all the girls in the dining room immediately changed, and they looked at Shin with somewhat subtle gazes.
Obviously, they were probably also thinking about establishing similar connections with Shin—in plain terms, they also wanted to try having a "daughter."
Katou Megumi and Ogiwara Sayu were fine since they were still young, and Katou Megumi was still in school, so although they had such thoughts, they weren't too urgent about it.
However, Tohru nearby showed a look of sudden realization, and her gaze toward Shin became filled with wild intensity.
Shin felt that Tohru's offensive afterward would probably be more intense than usual—though with Shin's constitution, it wasn't something to worry too much about.
After finishing breakfast, Shin prepared to go out.
Although today was Saturday and there was no school, Shin had already arranged to go on a date with Fujiwara Chika and Shinomiya Kaguya, and would most likely bring Hayasaka along as well.
During breakfast earlier, Shin's phone had already received several messages from Shinomiya Kaguya, showing that she was quite impatient.
This was quite fitting for her character—although she had always appeared very cold before, once involved in matters related to romance, she would become very flustered and completely defenseless.
However, since Shinomiya Kaguya was already using LINE to send messages... it seemed she had finally eliminated that old flip phone of hers and gotten a new smartphone.
"Shin, are you going out? Will you be back for dinner tonight?"
When Shin finished tidying up and was about to leave home, Tohru's voice came from behind him.
As the head maid of Shin's household, Tohru naturally needed to be concerned about Shin's dinner arrangements—after all, Shin's appetite was quite large now, so if he wasn't coming home for dinner, she would need to prepare less food.
"Dinner... I probably won't be coming back for it."
Shin thought about it and answered Tohru this way.
After all, he was going on a date with Fujiwara Chika and Shinomiya Kaguya... Both their families were quite well-off, so their families would probably actively arrange dinner for Shin.
The Fujiwara and Shinomiya families would probably be eager to have Shin spend more time with their daughters. If they weren't afraid of being too obvious, they might even arrange hotels.
"Alright, I understand."
Tohru nodded, looking somewhat disappointed.
She was disappointed not only that Shin wasn't coming back for dinner tonight, but more importantly, the plan she had just formed in her heart couldn't be implemented immediately.
That's right—after hearing Katou Megumi's sentiment about "daughters," Tohru had also made up her mind—she was going to give Shin a daughter too!
Although humans and dragons were different species, in the world she came from, there were also human-dragon hybrids, so she felt she should be able to conceive Shin's child.
For this goal, she had already prepared to make plenty of energy-replenishing dishes tonight, then let Shin rest and recuperate well while she worked hard to see if she could drain Shin dry.
However, if Shin wasn't coming back for dinner, this plan couldn't be executed immediately today—but it didn't matter, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
"Tohru-sama's expression looks really scary."
Kanna, who had followed Tohru out, looked at Tohru's perverted smile and couldn't help but comment.
Today was the weekend, and Kanna had also made plans with new friends she'd made at elementary school to play at the park.
She just hadn't expected to see Tohru's perverted expression right after leaving the house.
