"Mhm, Sister Xi Ling also thinks it looks good, right?♪"
"Of course, Little Elysia has excellent taste~"
Xi Ling glanced at the price tag, pulled out her wallet, and prepared to pay.
"Sister Xi Ling, and this one, this one is also very nice!♪"
Watching Elysia excitedly take down one piece of clothing after another, Xi Ling's hand, reaching for money in her wallet, froze.
"Little Elysia, aren't these clothes a bit too many?"
"Hmm... but all these clothes are so pretty!♪"
"We still have to buy other things later, we can't carry this many clothes."
Xi Ling's words made Elysia a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up.
"Alright, then I'll put these few back.♪"
After Elysia reduced a few items of clothing, the price dropped to a range Xi Ling could accept. Looking at her wallet, which had instantly deflated significantly, Xi Ling sighed.
"Let's go, Elysia, we should go check out other places."
After leading Elysia to purchase some daily necessities and some dry rations, it was noon.
"Little Elysia, are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat?"
"Sister Xi Ling, I want to eat there!"
Watching Elysia excitedly stand in front of the dessert shop, Xi Ling's mouth twitched.
"No problem, let's go."
..."Mmm... this is so delicious! Sister Xi Ling, you should try some too!♪"
"No, you eat it. Sister isn't very hungry."
Watching the blissfully happy Elysia, Xi Ling lowered her head and bit into a compressed biscuit, then gulped down a cup of water.
"You're still young, you need to eat more to grow tall~"
"Mhm, I'll try my best!♪"
Encouraged by Xi Ling, Elysia ate two more cakes before contentedly patting her stomach.
"Is Little Elysia full? If not, you can order a few more portions."
"No need, I've had enough!♪"
Elysia squinted her eyes and patted her stomach, letting out a satisfied burp.
"Okay, then we..."
Xi Ling stood up, ready to take Elysia's hand to leave, but found Elysia swaying as if she would fall asleep any second.
"She really is still a child, isn't she... always wanting to sleep after eating her fill."
Xi Ling, with a doting yet helpless expression, carried Elysia on her back and walked towards the hotel, carrying all the bags.
"Sleep soundly. Sister still has something to do."
After tucking Elysia into bed, Xi Ling sat at the computer desk, looking at her almost empty wallet, and let out a soft sigh.
"Elysia spends money a bit too fast. I wonder when the money from the Flame-Chasers will arrive, otherwise, in another two days, we'll really be eating the wind..."
As for finding a part-time job, she couldn't bring herself to entrust Elysia to others. Even though she knew Elysia wouldn't encounter any danger by doing so.
"The First Honkai... should be coming soon, right...?"
Although she had played through all the stories of Honkai Impact 3rd and even followed the manga, some timelines were still impossible to pinpoint.
"Phew... I'll take it one step at a time..."
In this world, she was just an ordinary person, without outstanding combat power, nor strong Honkai Energy adaptability. Even self-preservation was a challenge. It was no exaggeration to say that without the help of an Exoskeleton, she couldn't even defeat the current Elysia.
