In the "real world," I once whimsically kept a diary during my high school years, recording all my secret dark and negative thoughts to vent stress.
Until I noticed my mother's attitude and gaze towards me suddenly change, I realized she had peeked at my diary.
I had to write a few days of "truth, goodness, and beauty" to mend my persona, and then I never wrote in a diary again.
If I had a game inventory back then, my diary, my failed test papers, my amateur fanfiction novels, and other unspeakable things wouldn't have to worry about where to hide.
I remember there was a Nen user in the original work named "Nobu" who possessed the Nen ability "Four-Dimensional Apartment." He could freely create alternate spaces, and the exits and entrances could be set anywhere he had reached. It was similar to "Howl's Moving Castle," which made me, who couldn't afford a house in the "real world," incredibly envious!
Although the game inventory doesn't have Nobu's ability to buy houses freely, nor any offensive power, its advantage is that it can only be used and viewed by me. Others cannot interfere, and even if they force me, they can't see what's inside my game inventory. The game inventory is a truly private space. If combat isn't considered, it's practically tailor-made for me, an incredibly satisfying ability.
So when Kikyo saw me pick up infant Killua's droppings, she pressed me on whether I had picked up any other strange things. I could shamelessly claim I hadn't. The game inventory contained over a hundred types of items. If Kikyo insisted I empty it to prove my innocence, I could selectively [retrieve] a portion to satisfy her, and she wouldn't know if I had truly emptied it.
Surprise! Kikyo! My wings have grown strong! I finally have my own private space! No longer worried about anyone touching my things!
Some things are either zero times or countless times, like being Killua the cat's litter box attendant.
I had promised Kikyo not to [collect] infant Killua's droppings again, but the second time, I still couldn't control myself. By the way, if droppings are collected immediately after they leave the body, there won't be any traces on the diaper. I thought if I was fast enough, Kikyo wouldn't find out! Hmph, I really underestimated that woman.
Because I usually undergo "forced calm" through electrotherapy, and Kikyo knew it didn't work on me, she unceremoniously took up the whip herself.
As expected of the Zoldyck family's matriarch, she didn't need a postpartum confinement, her figure hadn't changed at all, and she had an abundance of energy, whipping quite vigorously.
"Moll, you disappoint me so much!"
"..." Useless! Kikyo!
Anything in this world that can be [collected], I will not easily give up, unless a prompt box appears saying "The quantity of this item has reached the limit and cannot be collected."
By the way, the limit for each item is 999.
After being whipped for several hours, I suddenly thought that if I continued [collecting] Killua's droppings, it might seem a bit perverted to others?
How would Killua view me when he grows up?
He would probably think I'm even more perverted than Illumi, right?
"!" This won't do! I can't lose the big picture for a small gain!
Alright, let's compromise. Following my gaming habit in the "real world," the items in my game inventory are either in a quantity of 1, signifying "pure collection," or 999, signifying "complete collection." So, infant Killua's droppings will be a "pure collection." I'll flush away any extra ones and keep only one in my game inventory.
Good! It's happily decided!
I sincerely bowed my head and apologized to Kikyo, swearing that if I [collected] Killua's droppings again, I would always maintain a distance of over a meter from Killua.
Kikyo was moved by my sincerity, put down her whip, unlocked my handcuffs, gave me a good pat-down, and that was that.
Alas, I emptily flushed infant Killua's droppings down the toilet. Regardless, the quantity became 1, which fits my habit. I can't ask for too much.
Visiting infant Killua is an addictive affair. I restrain myself daily, no more than three times a day— Killua is just too cute?!
You've truly given birth to a good son, Kikyo! I've found Kikyo increasingly pleasing lately! Being whipped by her doesn't even hurt!
Moll's Favorability towards Kikyo +1

So happy, a new day, three visit counts refreshed, I can come see infant Killua again!
After feeding infant Killua, I secretly licked the pacifier on the bottle. It's a little sweet.
Is this the legendary "indirect kiss"? I love it, I love it.

...Shut up!
I can't go on like this! Killua will think I'm a pervert!
Oh, Milluki is here too. He's here to complete his daily family check-in task.

I don't really feel like doing this quest. Sigh, if it weren't for Milluki being an important technical talent in the future, I wouldn't bother making awkward small talk with him!
"Little Killu is asleep, don't disturb him," I said to Milluki using lip-reading.
"I know. Can we change the subject?" Milluki's childish face, not yet plump, lost its smile.
"..."
"Sister, don't you have anything else to say to me besides Killua?"
"..." I searched my memory carefully. "I've already ordered the new flavor of chips. Can you ask Gotoh about the logistics for me?"
Gotoh, male, Zoldyck butler, a well-known supporting character in the original work with a cold exterior but warm heart, and like me, favors Killua. Readers familiar with the original work know him, so no further introduction is needed.
I share the snacks I buy with Milluki. Although Kikyo controls my calorie intake, my true intention isn't about food; eating fewer chips is fine. I buy chips because chips are the joy of a shut-in, and that joy is beyond words. Milluki's smile returned.
Yay, shut-ins are truly the gentlest creatures in the world!

[Daily Quest]
[Quest Name: Millu's Small Step]
[Quest Content: Research the functionality of the game inventory]
Come on, Millu! Even if you don't consider Illumi's possibility of injecting you, your existence is not in the original work, so you have to worry about the butterfly effect. To silently protect the original work's brightest little angel, Killu, in the future, you must also work harder!
First, go to the interrogation room for "forced calm" with electrotherapy to clear your mind!
Well, let's talk about the latest progress on "pets"!
The free customization of item categories in the game inventory is more extensive than expected. Not only can I freely add new categories and modify the names of existing ones, but I can also move default categorized items to another category.
While organizing the game inventory and re-categorizing items, I discovered that the "Pet" category is the only exception. There's a quantity limit of one item for the "Pet" category.
Is this a fixed limitation, or is it due to my insufficient Nen quantity? After all, the [preservation] of living beings is more difficult than inanimate objects, right?
No, it's not enough to only have one pet! I'm going to be the world's number one Pokémon Master!
The issue of Nen quantity cannot be resolved in a short period. Specialty Type users inherently have less Nen, alas. Besides daily basic Nen training, there are no other shortcuts. Even the protagonist in the original work cultivated step by step, let alone me, a supporting character?
Being able to pet the cutest Killua kitten on Kukuroo Mountain every day has greatly increased my life's motivation and happiness. Coupled with the "forced calm" effect of electrotherapy, I'm becoming more focused on basic Nen training and don't want to bother with other things. Leveling up is the priority!
Petting cats, leveling up, picking up trash— life is just this ordinary, simple, and happy.
My youth has returned.
I was delayed a bit by leveling up today, so I arrived late. Kikyo is already feeding Killua the kitten.
As I got closer, I could smell the infant's unique milky scent from Killua the kitten. So cute.
Love him, so drink milk with him!
I [retrieved] the carton of milk from my game inventory. En, to not fall behind Illumi in height, I've been drinking milk three times a day—morning, noon, and night—since before Killua was born. High calcium!
Actually, I want to drink the same infant formula as Killua, but some things can't be too obvious, right? Right!
After drinking the milk, I [collected] the milk carton into my game inventory. I plan to watch Kikyo lull Killua the kitten to sleep before leaving. Killua the kitten's sleeping face is also very cute! That's what a little angel looks like!
Someone knocked and entered. It was Silva.
Silva's usually stern face has softened recently, filled with the dual joy of drawing the Zoldyck family's most dazzling SSR card and being a father.
King of Lions is also here to pet Killua the kitten. The tiny Killua the kitten looked as fragile as a chick in his robust arms.
King of Lions' movements are very careful, and his skill in lulling Killua the kitten to sleep is excellent.
Killua the kitten is truly well-loved. I remember when I was an infant, King of Lions held me only a handful of times. Mostly it was Kikyo or the caregivers holding me.
No, King of Lions also held infant Illumi many times.
"..." What do I represent in King of Lions' eyes?
When I was born, he chose to stand by and watch, handing me over to Kikyo, who wanted to kill me.
The name he gave me had nothing to do with their family's name-chaining game; I was the only one excluded.
As I grew up, he always handed me over to Kikyo for disposition. En, before becoming his daughter, I was Kikyo's dress-up doll.
Speaking of which, as an unexpected character, can I be considered his acknowledged daughter?
My blood type is also different from theirs. They are all Type A, only I am Type O.
If I didn't have memories from birth, even I would doubt if I was Kikyo's biological child.
"..." I don't know.
"Millu." After putting the sleeping Killua the kitten back in the crib, Silva called out to me as I was about to leave. "Come with me to the training grounds."
At the training grounds, King of Lions said he wanted to see my training progress.
The fastest way to show progress is through action.
The one-on-one duel with King of Lions began so abruptly. I felt like I was facing a formidable enemy, but in King of Lions' eyes, it was probably just a normal exchange.
[Special Quest]
[Quest Name: What a Father Can Do]
[Quest Content: Trial from King of Lions]
A manly way of communication is through direct fists and feet, of course, he would control his strength appropriately, otherwise, taking one of his ferocious invincible punches would instantly kill me.
...You know.
Perhaps King of Lions was too strong and couldn't control his strength, or perhaps I was too weak to meet expectations, or perhaps both.
A word of advice to everyone: don't spar with King of Lions right after drinking milk.
I was sent flying and vomited milk.
Even though I covered my mouth in time, the milk kept leaking from my fingers, which was quite upsetting.
"Millu?" Silva seemed surprised. His previously stern combat aura crumbled.
My dignity also crumbled.
My first time spitting up milk in my life happened here.
I feel like I'll never love again.
