When Little Red saw Hound Butler receive a Login Device, her eyes filled with envy and anticipation.
Luigi did not disappoint her. Smiling, he took a pair of fiery red, fluffy fox ears from his storage space and handed them to Little Red.
"This is the Red Fox Ear Hairclip. I picked it out especially for you."
Luigi had absolutely chosen the Red Fox Ear Hairclip with great care. Little Red often wore a fox mask, so it was the most suitable match.
Seeing this, Hound Butler could not help but feel sour inside. Compared with its own little red flower earrings, the Red Fox Ear Hairclip looked far more thoughtful no matter how it was viewed.
Yet although Little Red, the recipient of this carefully selected hairclip Login Device, looked very happy, she also seemed to be holding something back.
Little Red was a child, after all. Her thoughts were written all over her face. Even without Luigi asking, it was obvious that she did not seem to like the Red Fox Ear Hairclip as much as he had imagined.
After thinking for a moment, Luigi asked, "Do you not like the Red Fox Ear Hairclip?"
"Thank you, Harp Brother. I really like this hairclip." Little Red paused slightly, secretly glanced at Angel beside her from the corner of her eye, then continued hesitantly, "But compared to fox ear hairclips, I actually prefer cat ear hairclips... That way, I can keep Cat Brother company."
Luigi and Hound Butler: "..."
They had thought Little Red would use this chance to express her own aesthetic preferences. Yet after all that circling around, it was not a matter of preference at all—she wanted to wear cat ears with Angel.
It sounded rather childish, like playing house and pretending to be someone else.
