Luna and I walked through the town's clothes shop. She had her tail wagging with excitement as she hummed to herself.

I kept looking at the bracelet Lilith gave me. If what she said was true, that would mean I would be able to use magic. But how does one start using magic? Elizabeth is a mage, so I should ask her for help.

What about Rose? Nah, she's a blessed child, and a blessing doesn't cost mana to use, so she probably won't be any help.

Does Aurora know iow to use magic? No, she's a swordsman, and they only use mana to boost their physical strength.

Lilith doesn't use magic that often; all she does is make her slime form into a weapon.

Roen is a mage. Hmm, wait didn't Elizabeth teach him? So who taught her? I do wonder what elemental style I have.

"Big brother, we're here," Luna said, looking back at me.

Oh, I guess I was lost in thought that I forgot what I was doing walking here. The shop was one of the fancy ones we had in our village, and usually people go here to get an outfit for celebration.

As we entered the shop, the first thing we could see was the dozens of dresses with all different colors, lengths, and patterns. Luna kept moving back and forth with her tail wagging. I haven't seen her this happy in a while. I still remember the first time I met her.

"Big brother, look at this," she said, holding out a blue dress with a pattern.

"It looks nice," I smiled as I said that.

"What about this one?" She held a red patterned dress.

"It's also nice," I said again.

She did this about seven more times, all different colors and patterns.

This kind of feels like she's my daughter, and I'm taking her shopping. Wait, why was I the one to come here with her? I have no idea what would be the best fit for her.

Plus, it feels a bit strange. Shouldn't Lilith be the one doing this, or maybe Sophia could have tagged along with us. I don't know how to do this; it's best just to say it all looks nice.

And thus, I repeated "It looks nice" about seven more times.

"Big brother, why are you saying 'It looks nice' again and again?" Crap, did she realize that I have no clue?

"I'm just saying the truth," I said, looking away.

"Really?" She said, giggling, and her tail wagged faster. Good, she bought it.

"Y-yes," as I said that, she looked so happy. I guess it's easy to make her happy; I didn't realize that.

In the end, she got a white dress with a black vest. It's not different from what she normally wears, but this dress was nicer than the one she usually wears.

After we were done, we then went to a bakery to buy some pastries.

As we walked home, with me walking behind her, she then turned around and hugged me tightly. "Thank you, big brother," she said, burying her face in my stomach.

Why was she thanking me? Was it for the dress or the pastries? "For what?" I asked.

"For saving me," she followed up by saying, "you saved me from those bad people and gave me a family. Thank you." So that's why. I may have saved her, but I killed those people. Yes, they may have been bad, but those were lives. I didn't even feel like I was in control when that happened.

"Sure, no problem," I said, hugging her back. After that, we went home. She's reminds me of her so much.
