"If you manage to catch me, all of the treats belong to you!" loud shouts and laughter filled the entrance hall.
"Me! I can't catch up to big brother!"
"Me too!"
Lia's heart warmed at the sight of Yano playing with Susa's siblings.
The smiles on their faces and the big grin on Yano's were heartwarming to the servants and Elder D who watched.
As Yano laid panting on the floor, his eyes met Lia's and he waved. Yano was really able to brighten everything and everyone around him.
The children discovered Lia and ran up to her, "It's the big sis from that time."
Elder D said that he only told the kids that their big sister could never return to them and left out everything else. Lia was grateful for that.
However, once the kids grew up and found out about Nana's death circumstances, they might come to Lia for revenge. After all, it was Lia who took Nana away from them.
Clown: *munching* my tiramisu is the best. It's the only reason why I can survive here on this low pay. Heaven, goodness gracious, just let me rest!
Lia: I'll give you ten thousand, a lifetime of tiramisu and even ones with different flavours. How about I introduce you to some other amazing desserts?
Clown: What's the hook? No way, I believe you do this for free!
Lia: Indeed. Tell me the secret. How do you navigate through Mistand? I don't believe all of this street crap in this white smoke!
Clown: It's easy! Very, fairly easy! All you need to do is follow the signs! The first thing I stumbled upon while starting to work here was the white smoke, but easy peasy once you find the signs! The streets magically open up!
Lia: You're lying to me right? Do you even want your dessert? How the hell can there be signs? Are you messing with me?
Clown: N-No need to get angry! Please spare me! Why am I being wronged? I was just telling the truth! Why is my life on the line now? S-Someone help!
Politey: Sigh... what a mess...
Yano: Wifey... you could've just asked me...
