Ever since I fell for her, she was the apple of my eye.Domesticating her was enough to satisfy my petty pride. I obviously didn't think I was doing the right thing, though.
You could say I was trying to make her mine and mine alone, and feeling irreplaceable had a certain charm, too.There are wicked people who could target weak youkai and exterminate them like children.From among a number of books, there was this one picture book she especially liked.So I told her how perilous it was...But one thing was forbidden: leaving the Lake.Because the world outside is a dangerous place, even if I were to spend my whole life protecting her....I wasn't lying, of course.
