Chapter 81: Dawn of a New Mission

*Koyuki*

I smiled as I woke up, hugging a pillow. Dancing with Milo until we were too tired to move sure was nice. We should do it more often.

I got up and stretched my arms. I walked over to the kitchen. Dad was helping Saffron's mom and Milo's parents clean up after last night's party.

"Morning, Dad!" I waved at him. "Need help?"

He shook his head. "It's okay, Koyuki. Go eat something. You must be hungry."

I shrugged. "Not really. I ate a lot yesterday."

Dad frowned. "You sure?"

I shook my head and laughed. "You worry too much about me, Daddy. I'm nineteen already. You don't have to baby me."

He laughed and rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry, Koyuki. But, I can't help it. You're my little girl."

"I'm the oldest child."

He laughed. "You and your siblings will always be little in my eyes."

Milo, who was eating some cereal, glanced up and laughed. "Well, you are very tall, sir."
