"Wow!"
The other customers gasped.
"Did that parrot really understand what the little girl said?"
"I don't know..."
"But if it was just a coincidence... there have been way too many of them..."
"Have any of you ever had such a smooth conversation with this parrot?"
"...I only heard it greet me, so I greeted it back... We didn't say much else..."
"Who knew this parrot could do more than just say hello? It can actually hold a conversation..."
"It's so smart..."
"Boss, did you teach it all that?"
"It knows so many things..."
"It's my parrot, of course I taught it."
"But it's also exceptionally gifted."
"Smart, too."
"Otherwise, why would I treat it as one of the shop's staff and have it greet customers near the entrance?"
"Oh..."
"What an exceptionally gifted parrot."
"Goodbye."
The colorful parrot offered another "dismissal."
The little girl was a bit reluctant to leave, but she wanted to respond to every word the colorful parrot said.
The colorful parrot had said goodbye to her...
"Goodbye."
The little girl waved with all her might.
"Little parrot, I'll come visit you again next time~"
"Careful."
Xiao Xiao steadied the little girl and helped her into the car.
Then he got in too.
Xiao Xiao checked the time.
Hmm.
About right.
The little girl set down the bag in her hands.
She twisted and stretched.
"Tired?"
Xiao Xiao held out his hand.
"I can carry it for a while."
Seeing the little girl hesitate, he smiled. "You can take it back once we get out."
"Okay?"
The little girl blinked.
"Okay~"
She nodded.
The hand holding out the bag suddenly stopped.
The little girl said anxiously, "Big Brother, I'll carry it once we get there."
"Sure."
