The three girls quickly asked.
"Luo Xi-chan, has your sister always been like that? Why does she seem so strange? She gives off a robot vibe."
"Haha, because my sister is a robot!"
"Huh?"
"I was afraid you wouldn't believe me, which is why I didn't say anything before."
"Robots? That's way too sci-fi, isn't it?"
"If you don't believe me, I'll have my sister demonstrate her laser eyes for you to see in a bit."
"Oh no no no... that's too scary, we'll just believe it."
——
As I strolled around...
In the very center of the store, an old doll completely protected by a glass display case suddenly appeared in front of the three girls.
The three of them went closer to take a closer look and found it to be a Q-version boy doll that looked quite old. Its worn appearance was very different from the brand-new and exquisite dolls around it.
"Luoqi-chan, why is there such an old-fashioned boy doll displayed in the most conspicuous place in the store?"
"Heh heh, that's a long story. This isn't an ordinary doll."
"It looks old, does it have any special significance?"
Just as the three of them were curiously examining the dolls in the display case.
Kosuke, who was idly sitting at the counter, happened to walk over and squatted down next to the three of them.
A gentle voice rang out.
"This doll is very important to our store."
"Ah, Auntie, could you tell us about this doll?"
Upon hearing this...
A tender look welled up in Guli Xi's eyes as she spoke with a nostalgic tone, "This doll was made by my aunt's favorite person when I was a child, and it was a gift from her."
"Wow, could it be... a token of love?!"
"You could say that. I was about the same age as you back then when I received a gift like this, and I've been inseparable from it ever since. Now that I've grown up, this doll has become old and worn out with the passage of time."
Luo Qi chimed in from the side, "It was my dad who made it, hehe."
The three of them then realized, "No wonder this doll looks so familiar, it reminds me of someone."
——
Guli Xi patted his daughter's head and teased her.
“In the past, Mom always liked to play house with Dad, and I fantasized that I would really marry Dad and become Mom. I never thought that my childhood dream would actually come true.”
"That would be wonderful. I wish I could have a handsome boy like my dad, who would love me forever, just like my mom."
"Haha... Xiaoxi is so cute, we'll definitely meet her again in the future."
Is Dad still working?
"Well, we'll be done soon. Let's go to the supermarket together after we close up shop later."
"Can I buy snacks?"
"That depends on Xiaoxi's performance."
"I'll help carry your things!"
"Yes, good boy."
Hehe~
He patted his daughter's head.
Guliqi then looked at the other three girls, took out three keychains from her pocket, and handed them to each of them, smiling, "Thank you for being friends with our Xiaoqi. I can tell you are all very polite and good children, so this is a special reward from your aunt."
"Wow! Thank you, Auntie!" x3
The three girls looked at the keychains in their hands; each one was made of fluffy material and featured a cute cartoon animal head.
One is a little white rabbit.
One is an orange kitten.
Another one is a black and white red panda.
——
Although small, the exquisite craftsmanship of each keychain is equally astonishing.
The three girls were overjoyed to receive such a small gift for free.
One of the girls looked at Luo Xi excitedly and said...
"Luo Xi-chan, come visit me at my house sometime! I'll have my sister make lots of sweets for you! My sister's sweets are the best in the world."
The other two girls nodded in agreement.
Luo Xi smiled.
"Since you've already brought this up, I'll ask my mom for a day off to go have some fun."
"How about this weekend?"
Luo Xi did not answer immediately, but turned to look at her mother.
Guliqi nodded.
"Please be careful."
"Oh, thank you, Mom!"
——
"Alright, you guys keep looking around. Xiaoqi, Mommy's going to check on Daddy first. I need to make sure I entertain my friends well."
"Um!"
After saying that.
As Guli Xi got up to leave, she suddenly seemed to remember something. "Oh right, I haven't asked the three little guests their names yet."
The three girls then realized that they hadn't introduced themselves.
They immediately stepped forward, wearing polite smiles, and spoke loudly.
"Hello, Auntie. My name is Hoshino Hinata. I'm best friends with Rakusuke-chan, hee hee."
"Um... my name is Shirasaki Hana, and my hobby is eating delicious sweets."
"Auntie, look at me! My name is Himesaka Noa, and my dream is to become the cutest girl in the world. Nice to meet you! Hehe~"
