... Swine?! Are you referring to Miss Katarina...?

Cascia stared at me with empty eyes.

"Daddy, will you be taken away by that mother pig someday?"

"N-No, sweetheart, the only people Daddy has ever loved in his life are you and Mommy!" I hurriedly tried to calm her down.

Otherwise, if Cascia goes berserk again, who knows what she might do to me?

"But you forgot where you buried Mommy, didn't you?" Cascia smiled.

"D-Daddy made a mistake, sweetheart. It was so dark back then, and I was washed away by the river later. How could I remember?"

There was a flash flood on the night we buried her, so the landscape changed, and Daddy couldn't find where Mommy was. That's my explanation to Cascia about where Mommy went.

Of course, the so-called "wife" was just a character in my imagination.

And speaking of being young, Cascia and I are often mistaken for siblings when we go shopping in the nearby town.

Just the other day, some sisters who came to hunt near Shiloh stopped me and called me "big brother." This made Cascia angry.

"Well, Daddy belongs to them, right? Daddy has been single for so many years, it wouldn't be a problem to stay single for the rest of his life, right??"

That was a request Cascia once made to me in person.

Because I had always been taking care of her, Cascia actually has a strong attachment to me.

Like a daughter who can't live without her father.

When she grows up, she wants to marry Daddy!

A few years ago, Cascia used to hold onto my waist and sweetly say that~

But well, I don't mind it.

The two of us father and daughter spend our time like this, looking at the stars, talking about things outside and sharing stories.

But, mostly, I tell her horror stories to scare her. Things like, it's dangerous outside of Shiloh, where girls are often attacked by wild beasts, bandits, and are even taken up the mountain to be used as tools for pleasure! So, it's safer to stay in the village.

Giving my daughter a subconscious feeling that going outside means certain death.

Hmm, that way, my Cascia won't suddenly leave a letter like those other crazy children—"Dear Father, Dear Mother, I went on an adventure." And then disappear.

Haha, I'm a complete genius as a father!

And when the fire dies down, it's time to go to bed.

Shiloh is a mountain village, and everyone is used to going to bed and waking up early. After I finished washing the dishes, I urged my daughter with tired eyes to go to bed.

This small cabin with only two rooms is where Cascia and I have lived for fourteen years.

I opened a small door crack and through the moonlight, I saw her peacefully sleeping face, her cute face, and her somewhat blurry profile. I knew she had entered a deep slumber.

However, I myself still couldn't fall asleep tonight.

On the night of the full moon, something subtle and exciting started to stir inside me.

This is a physiological reaction from the Walton bloodline, unavoidable. Therefore, only on this day, I secretly do things that no one else knows~

After confirming that Cascia was sound asleep again, I quietly opened the door and swiftly ran to the small hill behind.

There's a small hot spring in the back mountain of our house. The water there is always warm and it's the perfect place for bathing. In the past few years, when my daughter's chest had yet to fill out her clothes, the two of us often stripped naked and played in the spring~~~

But today, I just want to enjoy it quietly alone.

Walking into the slightly dense forest, I awakened the power deep within me.

The power of the Blood Dun.

The moment I closed my eyes, under the moonlight, there was a wave of white mist coming out of my body, my hair turned blood red, and even my figure significantly shrank.

When I opened my eyes, I saw myself with crimson pupils, resembling a teenage girl.

And this is the change that occurs in the body when the Walton bloodline uses their abilities.

But it seems like I am a bit special... When awakening my power, apart from my organs, all other features become overwhelmingly feminine...And, perhaps the most outrageous thing is my attire. The dress I'm wearing is actually a magical item called the Blue Feather Clothes. Not only does it provide defense, but it also adjusts itself according to the wearer's appearance.

However, in my blood-thirsty state, the Blue Feather Clothes will make me dress in women's clothing. Sigh...Despite being able to freely transform between male and female appearances, the power of blood-thirst activates the Blue Feather Clothes and things become quite awful.

So today is no exception. I've been forced to wear a light blue pleated skirt, a shoulder-exposing strap, and knee-high white stockings. If Cascia were to see me like this, I wouldn't be able to lift my head for the rest of my life.

Heh, the father who raised me turns out to be a crossdressing pervert?

But now, it doesn't matter. It's already late into the night, after all. This is my monthly relaxation opportunity.

I quickly take off my clothes and throw them everywhere, then I take a leap and jump into the water. Ah~ completely naked, I can't help but moan in pleasure because it feels so good.

On the night when the moon is fullest, if I don't transform into this appearance, I'll have a splitting headache the next day. So now, I'm really comfortable.

Hmm, come to think of it, my appearance hasn't changed much in all these years. I'm still a teenage girl, except for my long hair, there are hardly any major changes. Only my hair grows...

I soak my crimson long hair in the water and tilt my head, then gently comb through it. I should trim it when I have the time~

However, as the full moon brightly shines, I'm enjoying myself without realizing that a pair of astonished eyes are hiding in the grass.
