Mark finished eating before the little girl and while she was eating, he thought of the consequences of adopting another kid. When he transmigrated into this world his main goal was to level up and gain more power and he thought that he would wade through oceans of monster’s blood to achieve that.
He did kill a lot of monsters but the monsters in the system’s dungeon were more like a game construct so he didn’t experience any psychological issues in dealing with them since it felt more like playing a game. That was what he hoped.
But now he had three kids—one twin and now a little girl. When he was back on Earth, his friends told him that he was too soft-hearted and generous and that would land him in hot water sooner or later but he couldn’t just leave the twins and now the little girl. He would probably have chosen another option if he were not a rich and powerful wizard able to replicate anything that he wanted that was in his inventory and the fact that his inventory was a gigantic storage space and that he had collected mountains of high-quality items was truly a gift that would make sure that he could choose the option to be kind-hearted and generous didn’t help.
It was just the way he was. More than likely if the situation were different, like for example, he was dropped in the middle of a warzone and his days were filled with blood and guts, his personality would have been different but he was dropped in a fantasy world amid a circus for crying out loud and his days were filled with laughter and the promise of adventure and travel and it skewed his personality to becoming more and more like a Disney wizard willing to take in orphans.
Besides, he was sure that the kids wouldn’t be a burden since everyone in the circus would be willing to help and even if they were a burden, he couldn’t just leave them. Mark was just glad that he was powerful.
“Was it delicious, Little Blueberry?” Mark asked the little girl and surprisingly, the little girl nodded.
Mark then saw that the girl was sleepy since she began nodding off so he carried her and brought her to the twin's bunk bed and put her there to sleep after tucking her in. He replicated a stuffed toy large enough for the little girl to hug then tucked her in.
He went back to the living room to wait for Milena since he would need to talk to her regarding taking care of the little girl on top of the twins. He would ask her if there was a need to hire an assistant for her. She could decide and since she was the one handling their finances right now she could decide on the assistant’s compensation.
After about an hour, Milena arrived probably because it was time for her to cook lunch.
“Mark, I heard somewhere that you decided to adopt a little girl. Are you planning to become an orphanage?” Milena asked, giggling when she did so.

“I actually don’t know but is it going to be a problem for you to have another kid to take care of? Since you’re handling our finances, you can hire an assistant or two, and every night I can conjure another RV for you, Nedertu, and the assistants that you would hire.”
“Our very own magical cart?!” Milena looked intrigued.
“Sure. I was also planning to start teaching Nedertu how to drive the RV so we start using it to travel and retire the cart or sell it for that matter to add to your finances.”
“Can I learn together with Nedertu how to handle this magical cart? Since you’re going to provide us with a second magical cart, what do you call it? An RV? I’m going to hire two more girls to help me with taking care of the kids and other chores.”
“That’s great. I’ll teach you how to drive as well. Since we’re going to need more finances, make a list of the items that we have sold so far and that is what we’re going to sell from now on in other towns and cities. You will also be the one who will put a price on the items and if you need help with the prices, talk with Hamil or something.”
“I will go ahead and do that! This is exciting, I will go ahead and look for assistants. A couple of girls will be fine right? Of course, it will be. I felt like the mistress of a powerful and rich wizard!” Milena then laughed.
“By the way, we need to shop for clothes for the little girl. I do have lots of fabrics of different types and you if you know someone who can sew, you can hire them.”
Mark replicated different types of fabrics like cotton, silks, fur, leather, chiffon, rayon, linen, wool, and a lot more. He had these types of fabrics courtesy of Armina, one of his friends from Earth. He remembered requesting a box of different types of fabrics from her and she obliged him by purchasing a truly diverse type. Milena was fascinated by the different fabrics and she felt the cloth by touching them all over and even putting them on her cheeks to feel them.
He then replicated some common women's clothes like dresses, blazers, skirts, pants, jackets, and even women's shoes and boots. For fun sake, he even replicated a ball gown and high-heeled shoes. He wondered why he didn’t keep children’s clothes since he kept different types of clothing. Mark then remembered his reasoning back then of not bothering with children’s clothing since they tend to outgrow them quickly.
“These are the typical women's clothes that my country usually produces. The items that we will be selling later will be like these but I’ll probably add more like bags and clutches and some pieces of jewelry for diversity.”
Mark then replicated some handbags, totes, clutches, sunglasses, women’s hats, and pieces of pieces of jewelry like necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.”
Milena then took all of the things that he replicated.
“I’ll inspect all of these later. Regarding the new little girl, it’s not going to be a problem for me. I will go ahead and talk to a couple of friends of mine later so I can hire them. In the meantime, I’ll go ahead and cook lunch for us,” Milena said.
“No, I’ll go ahead and conjure our lunch. I will need to impress our brand new member of the family.”
Milena laughed and she went back to inspecting the goods that she had just received. She even went so far as to go to the bathroom to change into some of the dresses that Mark replicated and he saw that their cook was clutching the ball gown and high heels which made him laugh.
He then went to the twin’s room to check on the little girl and when he did so, he saw the girl had woken up. The first thing that the little girl saw was the stuffed toy bear and she hugged it fiercely. Mark then sat beside her and surprisingly, the little girl hugged him as well and that was the moment he knew that the little girl was now truly a part of his family.
