“It’s not like I couldn’t have a chocolate sundae next time after eating strawberry popsicles this time.”
The girl with the ponytail winked at the child and said, "After eating strawberry popsicles this time, you can confidently ask your mother to buy you a chocolate sundae next time."
"Because you ate strawberry popsicles this time."
"Yes or no?"
…
"Um."
The little girl was moved.
…
The girl with a side ponytail straightened up.
She smiled at the child's mother and said, "She eats strawberry popsicles."
…
The child's mother's face was still a bit stiff.
But the eyebrows and eyes have become a little softer.
She nodded.
"I want a strawberry popsicle."
She said to the waiter.
…
"OK."
Seeing that the problem was solved, the waiter breathed a sigh of relief.
She nodded with a smile on her face.
…
"Thanks."
The child's mother took the strawberry popsicle and handed it to the child. When she led the child past the girl with a ponytail, she said softly.
…
"You're welcome."
Girl with ponytail smiles.
The conversation between mother and daughter gradually disappeared in front of the convenience store.
"...Does the strawberry popsicle taste good?"
"tasty."
"Mom, the strawberry popsicle is so beautiful."
"Well, it's very beautiful."
"Mom, do you want a bite?"
“Very delicious.”
"No, you eat."
"Mom, why don't you take a bite too?"
"Mother……"
…
The girl with the ponytail had a smile in her eyes.
"Hello……"
She told the waiter about the popsicles she wanted.
…
Soon, the girl with the ponytail left the team carrying a bag containing three popsicles.
She frowned slightly.
Those two guys...
She thought that because of the little episode just now, the two children would come back to her.
The result was no.
She asked the waiter to put the popsicles into a bag.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to hold the three popsicles.
Still very cold.
…
"Princess, Prince."
Girls with sideways ponytails walk towards the shelves.
Is the stuff here so good?
It makes the two children happy and happy.
…
The girl with a sideways ponytail glanced sideways at the floor-to-ceiling window.
Just now, the princess was standing in front of the French window.
There is no trace of the child now.
The butterflies outside the window are no longer there.
…
"Auntie."
The little boy walked out of the shelf with a bunch of things in his arms.
…
Girls with slanted ponytails:......
"Where are you purchasing?"
"You can only buy one thing."
"Put the rest back for me."
…
The little boy looked unhappy.
"Auntie."
"Don't look at it. There seems to be a lot of these things."
“It’s not expensive at all.”
…
Girls with slanted ponytails:......
She tapped the little boy on the head with her finger.
"If you keep talking, just put them all back."
…
Little boy:......
The little boy wrinkled his face and said, "Auntie, this is wrong for you."
"You are a threat."
"As an adult, how can you threaten a child?"
"Auntie."
"You're so embarrassed."
"Small-"
…
The girl with a sideways ponytail reaches out her hand.
He pointed directly at the shelf, with a half-smile on his face, "Will you put it back?"
…
Little boy:......
He puffed up his cheeks and muttered something vaguely.
After looking at the face of the girl with the ponytail, she turned around unwillingly.
The heavy footsteps made the little back look a little sad?
…
"etc."
…
The little boy turned around suddenly.
His eyes sparkled with surprise.
Auntie is the best!
…
"Where's your sister?"
The girl with a sideways ponytail looked around.
"You're not together?"
She thought that the princess left the window to find the prince.
Despite the fact that the two children seem to have some trouble getting along with each other, they make each other unhappy.
But how can two children who grew up together really have a bad relationship?
Especially when they were outside, the two children clung to each other.
…
There was a look of surprise on the little boy's face.
Then it recedes like the tide.
He thought...
snort.
The little boy said angrily, "I don't know."
…
"have no idea?"
The girl with the ponytail is surprised.
"You are not together..."
The girl with the ponytail muttered as she walked towards the shelves.
"Princess?"
The girl with a ponytail turned her head left and right, calling to the child in a low voice, searching for the child.
"Princess, where are you?"
"Princess……"
…
"Princess?"
The girl with the ponytail's voice became louder.
She clenched her hands unconsciously.
Sweat broke out on his forehead.
She has searched the entire convenience store.
But the child was still not found.
How could it be...
This convenience store is small enough.
It's definitely not big.
There is no so-called blind spot of sight.
That child...
Where have you gone?
…
"Aunt?"
The little boy finally decided on the last product he wanted his aunt to buy for him. He looked around and found the girl with a sideways ponytail.
"you……"
He looked at the side of the girl with a ponytail.
"You haven't found the princess yet?"
The little boy was surprised.
He thought that when he came over, he would see a little girl with her little chin raised, complaining about his slow movements.
result……
There is still only my aunt alone.
…
"No."
Even though the girl with the ponytail tried her best to restrain herself, she didn't want to reveal too much of her growing worries and panic in front of the little boy.
But it still leaked a little bit.
The girl with side ponytail rubbed her face.
She's really bad at hiding things.
Even if the object is a child.
"I looked everywhere...and couldn't find it."
"Prince, do you really not know where the princess has gone?"
Girls with sideways ponytails have no other options.
You can only ask the only possible insider again and again.
…
The little boy shook his head.
"have no idea."
"Was she here just now..."
The little boy looked towards the window.
Isn't it there?
…
No.
The little girl was no longer in the same spot where they had seen her.
The little boy turned back strangely.
"Princess."
"Auntie will be angry if you don't come out."
"and……"
"Auntie bought some popsicles."
The popsicle is going to melt.
Thinking of this, the little boy became anxious.
"Come out quickly."
"If you don't come out, I won't wait for you to eat popsicles together..."
…
Listening to the little boy's childish threats, even though she was filled with worry, the girl with the ponytail couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of her mouth.
Can the little girl come out because of the childish "threat" of the little boy?
Even though I did come out, I thought that I was panicking when I searched the entire convenience store and couldn't find my child...
Girls with side ponytails will be a little speechless.
But more naturally, I am happy and relieved.
The girl with a sideways ponytail followed the little boy.
Waiting for the little girl to appear
….
But……
The girl with slanted ponytail followed the little boy and walked through the convenience store again.
The little girl didn't show up...
…
The little boy was a little confused.
"Princess!"
The child's voice is very loud.
It immediately attracted the attention of other people in the store.
