Chapter 392: What A Beautiful Little Girl
“You look good wearing anything, but today, I feel like that little purple princess dress will be the best. As for hairstyle, we can go with your favorite twin ponytail.” Mag looked at Amy, and shook his head as he said, “But we’re going to be eating soon, and after that, we have to tell Jessica and Teacher Luna about the lunch party, so you have to leave the dancing for when we come back. You can perform the dance very well already.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to whatever Father says. When we get back, Big Sister Miya and Big Sister Aisha would already be here as well, so I can dance with them.” Amy’s eyes lit up as she nodded in agreement.
“Yes, you can do a final rehearsal when they get here.” Mag nodded with a smile. It appeared that Amy took the dance very seriously.
Mag helped her into her purple princess dress before tying her hair up into two adorable ponytails. After breakfast, Mag rode on his bicycle toward Chaos School, along with Amy and a reluctant Ugly Duckling.
His ostentatious bicycle drew a lot of attention as usual. Many people were unable to comprehend how two thin wheels in a line were able to advance with any semblance of stability. To them, it appeared as if there was some sort of invisible force pushing the bicycle from behind.
Mag had no intention of popularising his bicycle anytime soon. It was a good feeling to be the only cyclist on the streets, and it was also very interesting to see all of the envious eyes around him.
He parked the bicycle at the gates of Chaos School. Due to the fact that it was a day off, there was almost no one in the entire school. There was only an occasional teacher or two and a few kids who were kicking a leather ball around.
Mag strode over to the elderly man and the orc at the gates, and smiled as he asked, “I want to see Teacher Luna; is that alright?”
He was quite familiar with the two of them as he was regularly accompanying Amy to school.
Amy held Ugly Duckling in her arms, and wheedled, “We’ll only be in there for a tiny little bit. We’re here to invite Teacher Luna to a lunch party. Pleeeease.”
“Alright, but don’t spend too long in there. Turn right and walk all the way to the end, and you’ll find the female teachers’ dormitory. No men are allowed to enter, though, so you’ll have to wait outside.” The elderly man at the gates was very fond of Amy, and he pointed out the right direction for her.
“Thank you.” Mag nodded before making his way into the school with Amy. At the female teachers’ dormitory, he asked the dormitory manager to notify Luna that they had come to see her.
When Luna came downstairs to meet them, Amy immediately rushed forward with elation, and looked up at her with anticipation in her eyes as she asked, “Teacher Luna, we’re here to invite you to a lunch party today. Do you have time to come?”
“A party?” A hint of surprise and confusion appeared on Luna’s face as she caressed Amy’s hair, and she turned to Mag for an explanation.
“Hi there, Ms. Luna. I’m hosting a lunch party for Amy and her friends today. Amy could choose whomever she wanted to invite, and you were the first person she thought of. If you have some time today, you can come to have some lunch at my restaurant. There won’t be that many people, and most of them will be kids.” Mag smiled as he looked at Luna, who was wearing a plain gray dress with a white silk scarf draped over her shoulders. Mag had a very good impression of this kind woman.
“Oh, I see. That sounds great. It’s my day off today, and I’ve got nothing else to do anyway.” Luna hesitated momentarily before nodding with a smile.
“Yay! You have to make sure to come on time, Teacher Luna.” Amy almost jumped up with joy.
“I will.” Luna nodded before turning to Mag, and saying, “Then I’ll have to trouble today, Mr. Mag.”
“No, no, I’m happy as long as the kids and my guests are happy.” Mag smiled as he said, “We’ll be taking our leave now. Little Amy still has to go and invite another one of her friends.”
“Alright, see you soon, Little Amy.” Luna smiled as she patted Amy on the head. She then stroked Ugly Duckling, which was still rather lethargic from bike sickness, and the smile on her face became even more vibrant.
“Bye bye, Teacher Luna.” Amy bade her farewell before dragging Mag away.
“Mr. Mag sure is an interesting person.” A smile lingered on Luna’s face as she looked at the two departing figures, and she only returned to the dormitory after they had disappeared from view.
“Father, Jessica would be really happy to be invited, right?” Amy asked.
“Of course. Jessica will be very happy to receive your invitation. Also, we’ve prepared a little present for her as well, haven’t we?” Mag smiled as he glanced at the bag in the basket, which contained a cream-colored dress.
“We sure did; thank you, Father. Jessica is sure to love this dress. She’s always wanted a yellow dress.” Amy nodded, and her smile grew even wider.
“But do you still remember where Jessica lives? You’ll have to tell me where to go,” Mag asked.
“I do; I went to Jessica’s place twice. There are many houses there that are built using black stones, and there’s a black stone horse outside Jessica’s house. Jessica told me that her father made it for her, and she looks really cool when she rides it.” Amy was brimming with confidence in her navigation skills.
“That’s good. If you like horses, I can buy a real one for you. Of course, you can get a wooden horse as well if you’d like,” Mag offered with a smile.
“Really?” Amy’s eyes immediately lit up. However, after some careful contemplation, she still shook her head, and said, “Horses are too big, and Ugly Duckling is too stupid. If we get a real one, Ugly Duckling is going to get bullied, so I’ll just get a wooden horse.”
“Alright, I’ll make you a wooden horse when we get back,” Mag replied with a smile. Even though she was often reprimanding Ugly Duckling, she actually cared for it a lot.
The bicycle carried the two of them along the wide stone-paved streets, and Mag was feeling very carefree and relaxed as the autumn wind brushed over him. All of the buildings on either side of the street were western-style buildings constructed from white stones, and they all looked very lavish.
The center and southern region were the wealthiest places in Chaos City, while the most poverty-stricken residents gathered mostly in the northern region.
…
“Warrick, please give me some more time. I’m definitely going to repay all of the money, I beg of you.”
In front of a black stone bungalow, a woman who appeared to be about 30 years of age was desperately begging a young man in a set of golden robes. He had a 2nd-tier knight badge adorned on his chest, and there were six burly men behind him, all of whom were appraising the woman with sinister expressions.
Jessica was shielded behind the woman, and she glowered at the man who was treading on the back of her black stone horse as she clenched her little fists.
“You won’t be able to return my money even if I give you another year. I’ll offer you an option: give me your daughter, and your debt will be waived. I haven’t had such a beautiful little girl for a long time.” Warrick looked at Jessica, and a lustful look appeared in his eyes.
