Now he was surrounded by a family more wonderful than he had ever dreamed possible.
"It's not just Qiong Xing who's different. Everyone is."
There was nothing wrong with the question Lian had asked.
It had surprised him, but he was glad she had come to them instead of asking Qiong Xing directly.
If hearing the question himself might have hurt him, then Albe was grateful they had been able to answer it instead.
"And besides, Lian, you don't just have your big brothers. You also have little brothers, little sisters, Mayo, and Fenrir. Isn't that amazing? You won't find another family like ours anywhere."
Even Albe sometimes wondered how Qiong Xing had managed to gather so many people together.
Then again, he himself was one of them.
He had never imagined that, as a demon, he would one day be using magic to help with cooking.
In the end, that too was probably because of Qiong Xing's completely unpredictable way of doing things.
