Really?
The Heavenly Maiden blinked.
Lord Xiao Xiao's words made the Heavenly Maiden look forward to the ice cream even more.
Would it really like it?
It would, right?
After all, Lord Xiao Xiao had said so.
And when had Lord Xiao Xiao ever been wrong?
"Let's go."
Xiao Xiao started walking toward the ice cream shop.
The Heavenly Maiden hurried after him.
There weren't many customers in the ice cream shop.
The rather spacious store felt a little empty.
After placing his order—
There was no way for Xiao Xiao to ask the Heavenly Maiden what she wanted in this setting, so he picked several different ice cream flavors himself.
Although he'd already made an effort to hold back and hadn't ordered too much ice cream...
The clerk still looked concerned when confirming he was alone and asked if all the ice cream he'd ordered might be a bit much for one person.
He smiled and said he had a big appetite.
And that he really liked ice cream.
The clerk still looked a little worried, but didn't ask anything more.
That was also because a new customer had lined up behind Xiao Xiao.
The clerk placed Xiao Xiao's order.
Carrying a tray piled with ice cream, Xiao Xiao chose a seat by the window in the corner and sat down.
He set the ice cream down.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sky was a dull gray.
The distant scenery was shrouded in a hazy mist.
Even the outlines, usually so distinct, had grown somewhat blurred.
Xiao Xiao picked up a spoon.
Without needing to be told, the little monsters jumped onto the table of their own accord.
Taotie was especially quick, leading the charge.
But it knew what the situation called for.
