Oh, our mighty little Klein.
For now, Mobius didn't say anything...
You just keep spoiling her!
Fuxi and Nuwa also enjoyed quite the show, but since they were present, and Mobius couldn't exactly take her anger out on the others, there was a chance she might just vent on these two sisters.
After all, this could be considered a case of 'those who see it share the blame'... wouldn't you agree?
Time skipped to noon, and Elysia happily took Vya to their meeting.
It was, naturally, with the sisters Sakura and Rin. It really had been a long time since they'd last met, and Vya missed both Sister Rin and Sister Sakura terribly.
...
Holding Vya's hand, Elysia spotted Sakura and Rin already waiting outside the agreed-upon café.
"My, it truly has been ages, Sakura♪~ and Rin!"
Sakura gave a slight nod, a smile touching the corner of her lips. "Yes, it has been a while."
Aside from her little sister, she rarely smiled in front of others. Elysia... although they hadn't met many times, she had probably already come to consider Elysia a friend.
Her tranquil heart had always only opened up for her sister.
Elysia's enthusiasm... was indeed hard to resist...
"Hello, Sister Elysia!"
Rin waved cheerfully, her gaze immediately falling on Vya behind her. "It's been so long, Vya too!"
"Hello, sisters!"
Vya happily moved to Rin's side, then said with some surprise.
"Wow, Sister Rin, you seem to have grown taller again!"
"Huh... really?"
Rin looked at Vya with pleasant surprise, then turned to Sakura for confirmation.
Sakura affectionately patted Rin's head. "Yes, Rin has reached that age of growing quickly now."
She continued, "When I'm not around in the future, you really mustn't stay up so late anymore, understand?"
Rin hugged Sakura's arm, swaying it coquettishly. "I know, Sis!"
Elysia watched the sisters, her eyes full of warmth. "So... how about we go buy some clothes later? Sakura, you're usually so busy, right? We should prepare some things in advance."
"Of course, that's fine."
Sakura nodded; she had been thinking about just that.
"Yay! New clothes!"
Rin cheered, and Vya clapped along.
Vya, however, felt a bit unhappy then, because she hadn't grown taller at all...
'Why hasn't Vya grown taller yet...'
Vya's fair little face instantly scrunched up.
"It's okay, Vya, it'll happen after a while longer."
Rin patted Vya's shoulder.
"And you have to be good, eat well, and sleep well too~"
She continued with a smile; after all, to Vya, she was also an older sister.
"Mhm! Vya knows."
Rin was very happy. This was quite rare for her. After all, her sister was often not home, and they sometimes had to move. She really wanted to make friends, but lasting friendships were indeed few...
Watching the two little girls interact, Elysia couldn't help but chime in. "It's fine, don't be in such a hurry. You'll grow when it's time to grow♪~"
She wrapped an arm around Rin and Vya's shoulders each. "For now, let's focus on happy things♪~"
And what followed would be happy too... right?
Of course.
They went to buy some sweets first. Rin didn't eat much, being very well-behaved.
Vya ate happily and was also well-behaved, not eating too much either.
After all, she'd already had sweets in the morning.
While eating at the shop, Vya told Rin about the people she knew...
'There's little Sister Griseo... and Sister Dystopia and Brother Kosma.'
"Wow... that's really nice."
Although Rin had always been an optimistic and cheerful child, a trace of loneliness flickered in her eyes then.
'I wish I could become friends with that many people too.'
"It's okay, Sister Rin, I'm sure you'll become good friends with them if you get the chance!"
"That's right, little Rin is such a good child, she's definitely very likable~"
Elysia stood up and gently pinched Rin's cheek.
"Mhm! Thank you, Vya! Thank you, Sister Elysia!"
Sakura was well aware that her little sister had always been lacking something, and she had been thinking of ways to make up for it...
She also didn't have many people she could trust, so over the years, the two sisters had been quite lonely.
...
And then... came the fun shopping time.
Stepping into the mall, two stunning beauties with two little sisters in tow naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Many people glanced over, taking in the beautiful sight. Fortunately, they weren't public figures, or they might have had a repeat of what happened last time with Eden... [This incident is also recorded in Chapter 13.]
Clothes, shoes, accessories—though children didn't need to worry too much about such things, looking nice was enough.
The two adults got things for the two children first...
Soon, the two little girls changed into their new clothes—Rin into a light blue dress with little floral prints, and Vya into a goose-yellow pinafore dress paired with a white blouse.
Elysia looked at the two adorably dressed little girls, clasping her hands to her face in excitement.
Ahhh, they're just too cute!!
She couldn't wait to rush over and cover the two little sisters in kisses.
But Sakura had been watching her the whole time, so she couldn't act on impulse just yet.
Therefore...
Elysia decided to target Sakura.
First, Elysia meticulously picked out a dress she thought would suit Sakura best.
Let's take a closer look. It was an ice-blue dress, simple and elegant in style, with only delicate, subtle patterns at the collar and cuffs.
"Sakura~, come try this on, how about it?"
"Me?"
Sakura was taken aback. "But this trip was specifically to buy clothes for Rin..."
"Come now, when you see something pretty, you just have to try it on~"
Elysia coaxed persuasively, slipping the dress into Sakura's hands.
"If it looks good on you, how about I get it for you as a gift?"
"This... really isn't appropriate..."
Sakura hesitated, but she had liked the dress the moment she laid eyes on it...
After all, she was also a girl, and most girls have little resistance to pretty clothes that suit them.
"Vya and Rin, what do you two think?"
This was the moment for two obedient little mouths to help with some sweet talk~
"Mhm, Sis would definitely look beautiful in it!"
Rin exclaimed with a smile; she could tell her sister liked it...
"That's right, it really suits Sister Sakura."
Vya chimed in; after all, in her eyes, the colors Sakura carried suited the dress perfectly.
Under the expectant gaze of three pairs of eyes, Sakura finally relented. "Alright then... I'll give it a try."
Thus, the plan succeeded.
Seeing Sakura take the clothes into the fitting room, Elysia couldn't wait to rush in after her.
But she was promptly pushed back out by Sakura.
"Aww♪~ we're all girls, what's there to be shy about~"
"No, don't come in."
Sakura had gotten quite a scare. She was just about to take her clothes off when she saw Elysia sneak in with mischief written all over her face...
!?
Could it be that Elysia was...? For a moment, a certain part of her body felt a chill, and she hurriedly pushed Elysia back out.
