As a man and a woman approached, Arataki Itto realized that the beautiful woman with horns was accompanied by his long-unseen best friend.
"Hahaha! Heaven helps me! Let's go, my best friend! We'll find a super powerful Onikabuto and then directly kill our way back to Inazuma City!"
"Sorry, I probably can't go catching bugs with you this time," Jack said to Arataki Itto with regret, gesturing with his eyes to Ganyu, whom he was holding, and Klee and Qiqi, who were also leaning on him.
"Huh? This... Haven't we only not seen each other for less than a year? My best friend's children are already this big?" Arataki Itto was a bit dazed.
He let out a laugh and said, "I was wondering whose little girl was so clever, haha, it turns out to be my best friend's child."
"Brother Arataki Itto, just consider it so. I truly see Klee as my daughter."
Qiqi's cool face flushed slightly when she saw Jack didn't mix her up with Klee, and she felt a little joy inside.
"Daddy, Klee wants to raise a little bug too."
Klee, seeing that Jack and Arataki Itto were clearly very familiar, pointed at the Onikabuto on Arataki Itto's shoulder and started to whine.
"This... Aren't you going to find your sister Yoimiya?"
"Hmm, I need to find Sister Yoimiya, and I also want to raise a little bug! Daddy~ Please agree to Klee, please~ please~"
With Klee relying on him so much, Jack felt that one day Alice-nushi would blast him away with a magic cannon.
After all, the word "Daddy" from her mouth was becoming more and more practiced now; she wouldn't stop whining.
"Okay, I promise you, but you can only catch one!"
"Yay! Klee loves Daddy the most!"
Little Klee immediately jumped up happily.
Seeing her so happy, Jack couldn't help but curve his lips.
Then he looked at Arataki Itto on the side.
Now that they had Onikabuto, how could they not have a bug fight?
The weakest person in all of Inazuma was right here, so after finding a strong and powerful Onikabuto for his good daughter, if they then had a bug fight with Arataki Itto, wouldn't his daughter be even happier because of the victory?
Jack, the doting father, indicated that he would just have to sacrifice Brother Arataki Itto's dignity again.
"Brother Arataki Itto, as you can see, my Klee also wants to get into bug fighting, this competitive activity suitable for all ages. I wonder if, after she gets started, Brother Arataki Itto could teach her?"
"Eh? Me teach?" Arataki Itto heard that he was to be a teacher and immediately got carried away.
He agreed on the spot, completely ignoring the dissuasion of his younger brothers behind him: "Big brother, you're already so weak, don't mislead the children!"
Jack waved his hand; when he found a teacher for his child, he never looked at the teacher's strength. As long as they weren't stronger than him, it was fine.
So, their original destination changed.
After Arataki Itto indicated that he could wait there, Jack used the power of the thousand winds and instantly arrived at Yashiori Island, thousands of miles away.
Half an hour later, under the intense grass element radar search, Jack finally found a well-developed giant Onikabuto for little Klee.
"So big! It's three times bigger than that strange big brother's little bug!"
"Brother... Qiqi, wants one too."
Upon seeing her little friend get a bug pet, Qiqi tugged on Jack's clothes and spoke her first words of the day.
Jack patted her head: "Okay! Then I'll get one for Qiqi too!"
Because Klee's Onikabuto was already the largest in its entire population, it took much longer to find a second one.
It was almost noon when Jack and the others finally found it at a cliff where electro elements gathered.
"The red one is for Klee, and its name will be Fiery Queen."
"The blue one is for Qiqi, and its name will be Frost Knight."
"What do you think, Ganyu?"
"Hmm, it sounds better than Agile Ninja."
It seems that even Ganyu, who is also a non-human character, couldn't appreciate the naming aesthetics of the Oni street idler, Arataki Itto.
Afterward, the couple used adeptal arts and grass element mental interference to leave safeguards on the two Onikabuto to prevent them from harming their masters.
These two giant Onikabuto were then put away by Jack; he would give Arataki Itto a big surprise later.
...
Soon after, Jack and the others returned to the place where they had met Arataki Itto and his group.
They had expected these guys to go find food themselves when it was mealtime, but under the leadership of the big oaf Arataki Itto, these few people stood motionless in the middle of the bridge, turned into statues.
"Sorry for the slight delay. I'm treating you guys to lunch today, so let's go eat, Brother Arataki Itto."
"Oh, oh! As expected of my best friend, inviting me to eat right after we meet! Don't worry! I will definitely train your daughter to be the second strongest bug-fighting master in Inazuma!"
"Huh? Why only second? Who's the strongest then?" Klee suddenly asked.
Arataki Itto proudly puffed out his chest: "Haha, naturally it's me, Arataki, the number one Itto in the world!"
However, Arataki Itto could fool himself, but he couldn't fool Klee.
Klee just tilted her head and whispered, "Strange adults."
...
After dinner, a certain open space in the Inazuma City's town.
Arataki Itto knelt on the ground in dejection, his whole being turned into a gray brick, as if he had lost the meaning of life.
"I lost! This great one actually lost to a little girl playing beetle fighting for the first time! My oni life is probably over."
"Please cheer up!"
A delicate girl's voice rang above his head.
Arataki Itto looked up.
The sunlight just happened to pass through Klee's little head, setting her off as if she were a true angel.
"Daddy said that failure is the mother of success. One or two failures don't matter. As long as you work hard, Big Brother, you will definitely succeed in the future!"
"Little Sister Klee..."
"Here! This is Klee's Lucky Dodoco, Klee gives it to you, hoping it can help Big Brother find a super powerful, super powerful little beetle!"
"Woo hoo! Little Sister Klee!"
Arataki Itto had never been treated so sincerely before.
He squatted down and pressed on Klee's shoulders, the fiery emotions finally turning into tears that slid from the corners of his eyes.
It happened that Ganyu looked over here, and under the visual illusion, it seemed that Arataki Itto wanted to do something untoward to Klee.
So she hurried over and pulled Klee away like a mother protecting her calf.
Her scrutinizing gaze glared at Arataki Itto.
It was as if as long as this lolicon made half a move, she would take out Amos and give him a Frostflake Arrow to the head.
Such a tense scene attracted the attention of Jack.
He released his exploration state and walked towards the crowd.
"I just left for a while, why are you all about to fight?"
"Jack, has Miss Yoimiya's location been found?"
"Found it. Judging from the location, it's probably around Gankin Island. We can just fly over directly later."
Jack looked at the embarrassed Arataki Itto and then at the maternal Ganyu.
The center of the incident here all pointed to a certain little guy watching the show.
So he scratched Klee's cheek: "Why is your Aunt Ganyu looking at Arataki Itto with the eyes of a lolicon? Did he do something to you?"
"Klee doesn't know ~"
