"Alright~ Today's goal is to buy little Vya some new clothes~"
After leaving the venue, Elysia said excitedly.
She was exceptionally happy, walking in the middle, holding Vya's hand with her left and linking arms with Eden on her right.
To avoid being recognized, Eden had specifically worn a hat and sunglasses, and changed into a very ordinary outfit.
With this disguise, as long as no one got too close for a careful look, she wouldn't be recognized.
"Actually, if it's alright, I could make a few dresses for her," Eden's voice was soft, but very pleasant.
"Oh my, that would be wonderful~ Eden's craftsmanship is the best~ Vya, quick, thank Eden!"
"Thank you, Sister Eden~"
Vya said with a smile, her eyes sparkling.
"It's nothing, just a bit of time," Eden replied with a gentle smile.
She was already mentally planning to take Vya's measurements. While she could estimate fairly well from experience, measuring would be more accurate.
They walked into a shopping mall.
Fame attracts trouble, and among the crowd, there were sharp-eyed individuals.
At first, people's attention wasn't on Eden.
Elysia's clothing and aura were anything but ordinary, and the little girl Vya beside her was also eye-catching.
Naturally, then, some gazes turned towards the well-disguised Eden.
"Is that… Eden?" someone muttered quietly.
"It really is Eden!"
A busybody shouted, and the people around instantly erupted.
It was like throwing a stone into a calm lake…
"Eden~ Run!"
Elysia grabbed Eden and Vya's hands and took off running, so fast the crowd didn't even react.
"Sister, why are we running?"
"I'll explain later, okay?"
"Okay! Sister," Vya replied.
After running a fair distance, Elysia noticed Eden was struggling to keep up. Although Eden usually maintained her physique quite strictly…
her physical stamina still couldn't match Elysia's or Vya's.
Elysia thought for a moment…
Hehe! Plan successful! No time like the present!
Just then, Elysia let go of Vya's little hand, turned, and in one smooth motion, swept Eden up into a princess carry, instantly picking up speed.
The move nearly knocked Eden's hat off; she quickly reached up to steady it.
And so, you could see this scene: a young woman with pink hair sprinting madly while carrying a woman in a hat, followed by a little girl pumping her short legs furiously to keep up.
If anyone had captured that on camera, it would have made the news headlines instantly.
After dashing into a quiet alley, Eden said softly, "Alright, my dear Elysia, you can put me down now."
"Oh~ I think I could hold you a little longer," Elysia replied playfully.
"Of course you may," Eden said with a gentle laugh.
"I want to hold Sister Eden too~"
Vya raised her little hand excitedly.
This innocent request made both Elysia and the Eden in her arms burst out laughing.
Of course, for Vya, it would surely be easy.
Elysia, still laughing, set Eden down. "Of course you can~ But you'll have to wait until you're a bit bigger, Vya~"
"Okay! Then Vya will be good and grow tall-tall!"
Growing up was a bit of an obsession.
"It seems our shopping plan is ruined," Elysia said with some regret.
Vya quickly added, "It's okay, Vya doesn't need that many clothes. Sister has already given me lots, so many pieces…"
"Let's skip it this time. How about I make you something when I get back?" Eden offered gently.
"Really? Thank you, Sister Eden!"
The little girl smiled happily.
"It's about time. How about we go get something to eat?"
"Yay~"
Eden called a car, and the three went to a quiet, members-only restaurant. It was elegantly decorated with few patrons, and the waitstaff were well-trained, not paying excessive attention to guests.
They were led to a VIP room on the second floor. Since there was a reservation… the food arrived quickly.
A waiter softly pushed the door open and entered with a tray.
His movements were light, making almost no sound. On the tray were three appetizers: a vegetable salad, foie gras with bread, and a seafood platter.
"Please enjoy."
The waiter withdrew after speaking, quietly closing the door behind him.
Elysia picked up a fork and first served Vya some salad. "Here, have some veggies first."
She said, pushing the plate slightly towards Vya.
Vya obediently picked up her little fork, speared a lettuce leaf, and put it in her mouth. The leaf was fresh, crisp when bitten, and paired with the sweet-and-sour salad dressing, it tasted good.
Eden was slicing bread. She cut it into small pieces and spread foie gras on them.
"Try this."
She handed a prepared piece to Vya.
Vya took it, took a bite, and her eyes immediately lit up. "Yummy!" she said, somewhat muffled, a bit of the paste at the corner of her mouth.
Although Vya eating these things was mostly just to satisfy a craving, she was still very happy.
The main courses arrived soon after.
Elysia had ordered steak, Eden got roasted fish, and for Vya, a children's set.
Vya's plate had fried chicken nuggets, fries, and a small bowl of cream of mushroom soup.
"Eat slowly, no rush."
Elysia couldn't help but remind her, watching Vya eat.
She picked up a napkin and wiped a bit of grease from the corner of Vya's mouth.
"Thank you, sister~"
Vya smiled sheepishly and slowed down.
Eden ate her fish elegantly with a knife and fork, looking up at the two from time to time.
She noticed Vya seemed particularly interested in the mushroom soup, having already drunk more than half the bowl.
"Do you like the soup?" Eden asked.
Vya nodded. "Mhm, it's really good!"
Elysia cut a small piece of her steak and brought it to Vya's mouth on a fork. "Try this."
Vya opened her mouth to accept it, chewing carefully.
...
The dessert was chocolate lava cake and ice cream.
When Vya saw the desserts arrive, she clapped her hands happily.
The cake was still warm, and when cut, the chocolate inside flowed out. Elysia helped Vya cut the cake into smaller pieces, worried she might burn herself.
Seeing Elysia didn't say anything, Vya naturally ate without worry.
"Can't eat too much sweet stuff, it's bad for your teeth."
Even as she said this, Elysia still served Vya a big scoop of ice cream.
Vya ended up with chocolate all over her mouth…
The meal lasted about an hour.
"Could I meet the chef? Today's dishes were rather special… wouldn't you say?"
Eden said to the manager who came to attend to them.
The manager smiled and nodded. She naturally knew the reason. "Of course. I'll go invite her over right away."
Shortly after, a young woman with light brown hair walked in.
It seemed she was the chef.
...
"Your cooking was delicious," Eden praised.
"Thank you very much. It's my honor that you enjoyed my dishes," the girl said, her expression sincere, as if she was genuinely pleased… probably.
"Mhm, it really was tasty~" Elysia also praised.
"Mhm mhm! Sister's cooking was really good!" Vya chimed in with a smile.
"Might I ask your name?" Elysia inquired with a smile.
"Of course… My name is Vill-V," Vill-V said, her smile seeming a little different.
