237. To the clothes store

Then a while later, Lumia and the others came back. I've worn clothes that look warmer than I did earlier, but still wore thinner than I did, so I lent Lili and Lara the robe I had. Then Lara realized she didn't have my share and tried to give it back, but when I told her it was okay because she was wearing warmer clothes than they did, they wove me a feather of the robe I lent her, so we headed to the clothes store.

On the road, Lili and Lara looked around Kyorokyoro uncommonly when they left on the boulevard. I wonder what's wrong? If I thought so, Lumia told me that they hardly ever went outside. So they say it's unusual to leave the orphanage like this. Besides, they're not getting close to the boulevard. So they're worried about a lot of extra stuff. Well, he probably kept it away because he didn't have the money but he couldn't help coming to the boulevard. and I got to the front of the clothes store with that in mind.

"This is the garment store."

"" Really!

That's what they said. They were looking at the store with interest. I took their hand and went into the store with a little bitter laugh at how they were doing.

"Oh, Lena!

When I turned to the one who heard something familiar and heard a voice, there was Flora rushing towards me. Flora seemed to realize there was someone else in the store besides me when she was rarely surprised that Flora was in the store.

"Is that it? Are you..."

"Ah, that's your sister who was sober!

Apparently Lili remembered Flora but a bit of a way to call her...... He looked a little convulsed when he saw Flora with that in mind.

"Hey, how do you call that..."

"Uh, Mr. Flora?

Looks like Lara remembered her name properly. Then Flora nodded, looking a little happy.

"Lena?

It was Rhona who called out. I think I just came out of the back of the store.

"I'm interrupting"

With that said, Mr. Lorna slowly approaches. But it kind of felt different than usual. Is something wrong? Mr. Lorna came holding me in her arms thinking that

"Huh?"

I was a little confused by Rhona's unexpected behavior. Mr. Lorna, what's going on? and I was held by Mr. Rhona for a while with that in mind. It was made but remained.

Then a while later, Mr. Lorna looked up.

"Thank you for Flora, Lena."

That's what I said. There were tears in Rhona's eyes. Why did you come all of a sudden in a hug? And I was wondering, but I was convinced to hear what I was saying. I did help Flora, and then I sent her to Lorna, and she was crying and hugging her. Looks like Flora cared about me on the way, but I left the spot softly so Rhona wouldn't notice... That's why I thought Lorna thanked me because today was the first time I had exchanged words since Flora came back.

After so much time, Mr. Lorna suddenly held me tight and I was a little confused, but I feel ashamed to find out why. Besides, Rhona's still holding me tight...

"Mother, is it time to let Lena go? Because you look a little troubled..."

"Oh, I'm sorry?

Ms Lorna let me go while she realized how I was doing. I was a little relieved that you finally let me go.

"Before this, when I came, I couldn't even say thank you, so say anything I could?

When Mr. Rhona told me that and I nodded, Mr. Rhona turned her gaze aside from me.

"... so what did Lena bring them here to buy?

"Looks like they don't have a lot of thick clothes, so go buy clothes that look warm..."

"Really? Then bring me what you want? Thanks to Lena, I'll make it as cheap as I can."

"You don't have to be so hard..."

"No, it's not like Lena's gonna ask me for anything, so I'm just gonna let you do this."

You may not deny it when you say so......

"... ok. But don't be cheaper than half the price"

I suggested that because I feel sorry that it would be too cheap to accept Mrs Launa's proposal, because I would like this many conditions to be acknowledged.

"You don't have to worry about that much, do you?

"That's all I won't give in."

Mr. Rhona said you didn't have to worry about it. I was staring at Mr. Rhona because I didn't want to give in there either.

"... ok"

Then I was a little relieved that Ms Lorna accepted the suggestion while I seemed to have little choice.

"You guys, if you have clothes you care about or want, tell me, okay? 'Cause I'll find you whatever you want."

"" Yes ""

"Oh, please"

That's how we started looking for things that we wanted and seemed good to us.
