"B-but…" Mimi's ears drooped immediately, her tail lowered as she clasped her hands together in front of her chest.
"Pleaseeee~! Just ask Papa for permission! I'm sure he'll say yes! With Husband there, I'll be safe! Besides, I can fight too! Pleaaase~?"
Her tone shifted into a soft, pleading purr, her tail flicking rapidly as if wagging for approval.
Garius rubbed the bridge of his nose, sighing quietly as he felt a familiar headache rising.
"Since it's Javier's mission, he will decide who to bring. But first, we will wait for your father's permission."
Mimi's eyes brightened instantly. "Really!? Yay!" she clapped her hands together, beaming from ear to ear before bowing deeply. "Thank you, Father-in-law!!!"
Liana's hand slowly dragged down her face.
Gloria quietly adjusted her glasses, whispering under her breath, "And here we go again…"
Garius set his utensils down and leaned back slightly, his tone calm but authoritative.
"Liana. Gloria."
