Mark asked the passersby who gawked at him and Liriel floating on top of a magic carpet which was just the Space Floating Disc covered in a plush carpet on where he could buy clothes for tiny little girls while pointing at Liriel.
The man who was still gawking at the carpet pointed somewhere in the middle of the village so he commanded the carpet to move forward. The little girl got used to people looking at them so soon she kept tapping at Mark and pointing at different things. She was still not speaking clearly and Mark didn’t know if it was because she was too young or because of what she experienced.
He was still glad that the little girl was becoming closer to him. Mark kept asking questions to people who stopped to gawk at them floating until he found a shop that sold clothes.
Mark kept the carpet in his inventory and dismissed his Space Floating Disc. While carrying Liriel in his arms, they entered the shop.
The shop had a pretty blonde clerk minding the counter and when she saw Mark and Liriel, she greeted them.
“Good afternoon sir and little miss. How can I help you today?”
“Do you have something ready to wear for my princess here?”
The clerk then showed them several dresses for girls including sleepwear and underwear. He didn’t plan to purchase any winter clothes since winter just passed and the fabrics in his inventory were better so he would probably ask someone to sew clothes for the little girl. After this shopping session, Mark planned to assign the task of purchasing clothes to Milena and her soon-to-be assistants.
He also remembered that it was probably time for the twins to update their clothes as well so he carelessly thought of assigning those to Milena as well. He didn’t feel any guilt since Milena was well compensated and she would have assistants soon.
The clerk assisted Mark in changing Liriel’s clothes but the girl was still clinging to Mark. At first, he and the clerk were having difficulty and Mark had to bribe the little girl with a baby doll before she relented to be changed.
When the clerk saw the doll she suddenly exclaimed.
“You’re the wizard who sells unique and beautiful things for a very low price in the circus!”
“You should check our stall later since our items today would be focused on women's things and they would still be cheap,” Mark smiled.
“I’ll definitely check it out! People would be sad once the circus leaves. We all enjoyed going there, especially the dragon ride. It was so much fun! The items that you sold were also a great attraction. I was fortunate enough to be there when you first opened your stall and sold those bread with holes. I miss them so much, and they were so delicious and cheap. It felt like I was eating food that was prepared for royalty.”
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
Mark thanked the clerk and paid her. As a tip, he gave her a box of chocolate cake and when the clerk saw it, it seemed like he had given her a great treasure. Since the chocolate cake was in a transparent box, Liriel was also staring at it so Mark couldn’t leave it as it was and asked the clerk if they could eat some snacks in the store.
The clerk agreed so Mark conjured a table and three chairs and asked the clerk to join him and Liriel in eating some snacks. He then replicated a whole cake, a beautifully decorated chocolate gateau. Both the clerk and Liriel had sparkling eyes when they looked at the cake so he cut the cake which almost caused a commotion between the two ladies since they almost didn’t want to destroy the beautiful cake.
Mark's eyes rolled and asked how they would eat it if they didn’t cut it and the clerk blushed. He served the little girl a slice of cake first then the clerk and himself last then he everyone soda for drinks.
When the clerk took a bite of the cake, her eyes grew wide and Mark actually saw tears coming out from her eyes. Liriel was the same. She took her first bite of the cake then he could see the little girl savoring the taste by closing her eyes.
Mark almost laughed out loud at the two ladies’ reaction to the chocolate cake. They enjoyed their snack and Liriel stopped after eating one slice of cake since he told the little girl that he shouldn’t eat more since their dinner later would be very delicious too. The clerk actually looked envious of Liriel when she heard what Mark said.
After thanking the clerk for their assistance, they left the store. They left the rest of the chocolate cake to the clerk and advised her to consume it as soon as possible since it wouldn’t taste good after several hours passed.
When they returned to the RV, Mark saw that Nedertu was back. The twins and Milena were not there though probably out with their friends. The twins probably were still playing and he did ask Milena to ask some of her friends to become their models later when they opened their stall.
“Who is that pretty little girl?” Nedertu asked when he saw Mark carrying Liriel.
The little girl got scared and hugged Mark’s neck again.
“Don’t be scared Liriel. This is Nedertu and he’s also part of our family just like the twins and Milena. This little princess is Liriel, she’s now part of our family and she’s the twin's little sister.”
Nedertu gaped at Mark when the cat man heard what he said about the little girl. Mark then remembered that he actually hadn’t introduced the twins and Milena to Liriel yet. After comforting the girl for a bit, Mark then told Nedertu something.
“I’m planning to teach you and Milena how to drive the RV since I’m planning to use the RV to travel from now on instead of the cart. I’m also planning to summon two RVs every night. One for me, the twins and Liriel, and one for you, Milena, and her assistants. I asked her to hire some and she mentioned that she’d probably hire three people. Two girls and one boy to help us out in taking care of the kids and the stall.”
Nedertu got very excited when he heard that he would be learning how to drive the RV.
“When are we starting?”
“Well since you're still planning to dungeon dive until we leave, I’ll probably start teaching you once we're on the road.”
Since they would be leaving the day after tomorrow, Nedertu just nodded but Mark could see that the cat man was still excited about learning how to drive the machine.
“We’ll probably start with something small. I do have small vehicles and once you get used to driving those, we’ll increase the vehicle sizes until you can handle the RV.”
“You have different types of machines for the road?!” Nedertu gasped.
“Oh yes, I haven’t shown you that yet. Let’s go outside a bit and I’ll show you.”
Mark then replicated a lot of toys for Liriel and the little girl was overjoyed. Then he told her that he and Nedertu would be outside for a bit but Liriel heartlessly threw the toys away and clung to Mark. He just shrugged and carried Liriel since she was so tiny she weighed practically nothing.
