"Alright, kids—" Kisha clapped her hands together as the group stood in front of the busy row of shops, "since we're going to the noble party with Mister Hazuki… and we have the money… let's find something good, okay?"
"Okay, Miss Kisha!!" all the kids shouted in unison, their eyes already shining excitedly.
A few of the smaller ones started hopping in place.
Some were already pointing.
"That dress!!"
"Oooh, I want a jacket with fur!!"
"Look at those shiny shoes!!"
Kisha exhaled slowly.
"Please… don't break anything. Or run. Or—never mind. Just don't vanish."
Chasia and Elvia stayed close on either side, much calmer than the others.
"Hmm…" Kisha murmured, scanning the signs overhead.
"Sir Hansim said the shop should be nearby. Somewhere along this street…"
Elvia gently tugged her sleeve, pointing to a clean wooden sign with elegant carvings.
"That one says 'Tailor Garra's Formal Boutique'… it looks nice."
"And smells nice too!" Chasia added with a grin and a sniff.
