Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1344 - 25: Flesh and Blood

"Wait, what was your father’s name again?"

Moli, confused by Fisher’s surprised expression, unsure if he hadn't heard correctly or for another reason, could only repeat what she had said.

"His name is... Hooked kiss. Is there a problem?"

"..."

This time, confirmed by the translating artifact with its precise pronunciation, Fisher was utterly dumbfounded.

Fisher wanted to speak several times at that moment, but in the end, he remained silent.

In that instant, numerous thoughts and ideas swirled in his mind, tangled like a ball of yarn, yet he still couldn't voice his shock.

The issue was that, previously, Fisher had considered Hooked kiss to be his peer. He viewed him as a friend who had faced life and death together, even though Hooked kiss sometimes did or said peculiar things. Overall, Fisher still held a favorable impression of this "henpecked" Whale-man, but now...

Wait, "peculiar things," "henpecked"?

At this moment, enlightened by Moli's words, Fisher looked back into past events and found that everything now seemed perfectly logical.

He had once mentioned "Xuan Can" to Hooked kiss. Given that Whale-man couples often had childhood sweethearts, he and Xuan Can likely fell in love and married young. Therefore, when Hooked kiss, knowing Fisher was from the future, mentioned the name "Xuan Can," he had already anticipated a connection between Fisher and his daughter...

His henpecked nature already demonstrated his deep affection for Xuan Can. Thus, even in the face of an uncertain future, he could be so sure about things that ordinary people wouldn't dare to predict – he was certain Moli was his daughter, and indeed she was...

This meant that from the very beginning, he had viewed Fisher as a "prospective son-in-law." No, rather than "viewed," it was more like "evaluated."

So, ever since arriving at the Holy Land, he had inexplicably interrupted Fisher's interactions with Helair, Asuka, and other ladies, often becoming inexplicably angry for reasons Fisher couldn't fathom – all because of this?

While it was difficult to say whether this was good or bad, if Hooked kiss saw Fisher as a friend or brother, how would Fisher and Moli's relationship be explained?

I see you as a brother, yet you want to be my son-in-law?

From now on, we’ll call each other separately: you call me brother, and I call you dad?

Although Hooked kiss should logically be a Whale-man who has existed from thousands to tens of thousands of years ago up to this present, judging from the current hierarchy and lifespan, it should be so. However, considering Fisher once interacted with him when Hooked kiss was young, it still felt strange no matter how he calculated it.

This might be the limitation of the perspective of a Zeroth Rank, a Human Species with a lifespan of only a hundred years. Even though Fisher had already entered the Mythical Rank, he still felt this way.

"Fisher, why do you have such a strange expression? Could it be... you've heard of or met dad before?"

"I... No, I haven't met him. I just feel like I've heard that name somewhere before."

"I see... After all, Mom told me Dad was a very famous doctor when he was young. Like her, he traveled to many places and made many friends. Fisher, perhaps you came across his name in some ruins?"

Fisher thought to himself, actually, one of the friends he made was me. But how could he tell her this?

Should I say I once called your father brother?

With his mind reeling, Fisher couldn't answer this question at the moment. He planned to discuss this matter with Hooked kiss later, so for now, he had to change the subject.

"Perhaps that's the case. Anyway, if there's a chance later, let's search for him together."

"Yeah! He'll definitely like you, Fisher."

"..."

Hearing this, Fisher started to sweat.

Already feeling guilty, Fisher was rendered speechless when Moli said Hooked kiss would like him.

Perhaps it wouldn't be liking that would arise, but rather being slashed into pieces might be more reasonable.

To reiterate, Fisher was actually aware of the wrongs he had committed. When considering consequences and outcomes, this mindset sometimes proved useful.

On the other hand, though Fisher's heart inevitably felt guilty, there was at least one thing worth rejoicing over: Hooked kiss was still alive.

Previously, Fisher had traveled back to a distant past timeline. Sometimes, reflecting on the present he lived in by comparing it with the past, he would find glorious races and epic tales turned into ashes, vanishing in the long river of history, impossible to trace.

Helair was still alive; she had transformed into Demon Paimon and was continuously active in the world. Hooked kiss was also alive, at least according to Moli.

But besides them?

Tangze Asuka, she must still be alive, right?
