《Follow the Plot》Chapter 23

"Good morning." Estorea greeted Haigu who pushed a cart inside, her breakfast sitting on top.
Haigu nodded and smiled, putting her breakfast down on the table, he waited by her side as Estorea read the newspaper that Aelia had gotten for her.
Estorea finished her breakfast, as Haigu took it away.
She took a quick bath and wore her outing clothes.
She exited her room, to find Aelia and Haigu waiting for her. Estorea smiled as she felt the feeling of excitement from them.
"Let's get going, shall we? Where would you guys like to go first?"
"Anyway you like, Young Miss!" Aelia exclaimed.
Haigu nodded in agreement.
"Ah... Alright then. Let's go to a clothing store! I actually want to design you guys new clothes." And with their destination decided, they set off.
Estorea turned the paper once again, using the pencil to sketch out the design of the custom-made clothes.
Once she was satisfied, she handed it to the store keeper, making sure it was not seen by Aelia and Haigu.
The store keeper looked at the design and acknowledged it with approval.
He turned to consult Estorea on the pricing. "This is gonna cost 50 Uvos. The clothes will be ready by tomorrow, would you like it to be delivered?"
Estorea frowned, her eyebrows furrowed. "Tomorrow? If I pay more money, will you lessen the time needed to make the clothes? I want it done by today."
The store keeper started sweating, seeing her upset face. "O-Of course! I shall gather my best seamstresses. It will cost 100 Uvos and it will be done in 5 hours."
Estorea smiled, "Now, that's more acceptable. We will be back in 5 hours then. You better have it completed and it better be of the best quality, got it?" She raised an eyebrow.
The store keeper frantically nodded, "Yes! Yes! Of course, My Lady."
"Good."
And with that being said, Estorea quickly left the shop and started to bring Aelia and Haigu around.
"Guys, if anything catches your eye, just tell me and I will buy it. And I mean it. So go on." Estorea never really went on a shopping trip before since she was always alone and never really had any real life friends besides online ones.

She had heard of this so-called shopping spree. And in definition, it means 'a short period of time in which someone buys a lot of things.'
So, she was planning to do a shopping spree with them. Though, she didn't really need to buy anything.
Although Haigu and Aelia had visited the market before. They were 10× more excited because their mistress has come with them!
Aelia looked around excitedly, she had come here last time and wanted to buy something but didn't want to without her Mistress' permission.
So now that she has been given permission, immediately, she grabbed Estorea' wrist and tugged on it.
Staring at her with sparkling eyes, Estorea got the hint and let Aelia drag her with Haigu following behind.
Soon, they stopped in front of a stall. It wasn't too particularly crowded, nor was it too empty.
Estorea observed the store, and they were selling accessories such as pins, earring and hair clips.
They were beautifully designed and looked exquisite. Estorea studied the stall keeper, and concluded that she was an honest one.
Aelia saw her looking at the stall with approval and beamed. She then dragged Estorea over to a certain display.
There were 3 accessories on it.
The first one was a golden rimmed pin that held the stars and the moon, the galaxy as its background.
The second one was a golden tear-drop shaped earring with the similar design as to the pin with only the stars.
The last one was a golden anklet bracelet, with no galaxy background but a moon, star and teardrop charm hanging from it.
It was beautiful.
"Can we buy this? I want three of us to wear it!"
Estorea nodded and signalled to the stall keeper.
The stall keeper came over with a greeting smile, Estorea pointed at the pins and asked how much it was.
"10 Uvos for all three. Would you like it to be wrapped up?" She asked.
Estorea shook her head, taking out 10 Uvos, she handed it to the stall keeper and took the three pins.
Handing it out, she took the earring and clipped it to her ear. Thank god, it didn't need piercing.

Haigu took the pin and attached it to his vest while Aelia took the anklet bracelet with joy and clipped it around her ankle.
She looked extremely jovial as she started scampering around with the anklet's charms hitting against her ankle.
Estorea chuckled while Haigu sighed and shook his head.
"Now, now. Let her have some fun. Let's explore here for a bit while more before going somewhere to eat." Haigu agreed and went off to drag Aelia back before she wandered off too far.
They explored the market for a while more, not finding anything of interest.
"Wait, before we go eat. I need to head somewhere first." Both of them nodded and followed Estorea.
All the way to a blacksmith...?
"Young Miss, what are we here for?"
Estorea gave them a side glance, "Isn't it obvious? To get new weapons for you two, of course."
Hearing those words, Aelia's eyes got teary. She started sniffing, "Young Miss is too kind!"
Haigu also looked extremely touched.
"Ah... Don't cry..." Estorea awkwardly reached out to Aelia's face and rubbed her tears away.
Haigu caught sight of it, and suddenly felt a burning jealousy rising within him. Feeling a stare burning through the back of her head, Estorea turned around to see Haigu glaring at Aelia.
'Ah... he's jealous. That's kinda cute.' Estorea couldn't help but let a chuckle slip from her mouth, walking over to Haigu, she reached and held his face within her hands.
And gave him a small peck on his cheeks.
Haigu blinked. He widened his eyes as blush once again, started to spread rapidly around his cheeks. His mouth agape as no words seem to be able to come out. He lost to Estorea' charms and stood frozen still, stuck to the ground, in shock.
"... Haigu...?" Estorea sweatdropped. She gave a helpless glance to Aelia.
"Mind staying here with him? I'm gonna go speak to the blacksmith."
"Yes, Young Miss!"
Estorea walked inside and didn't come out until 15 minutes later.
Only to find Haigu still in the same position and Aelia having fun by poking him in the cheek with a branch she found on the ground.
"I'm finished, let's go eat." Haigu heard Estorea's voice and snapped out of his daze. "Y-yes!" He answered.
They went to a cafe, ordering their lunches.
After a few hours of staying there, the last destination was the clothing store.
"Are the clothes done?" Estorea entered the store. The shopkeeper hurried over to her. "Yes it is, Young Lady. The clothes are in this room, would you like to come in and take a look?"
"Yes please."
...
A few moments later, Estorea came out, looking satisfied. In her hands were two folded pairs of clothes. She handed one to each of them.
"Here, try this one. I hope you like the design..."
"Whatever you design, I will always love it, Young Miss!"
"Yes, My Lady. Anything you make and give, I will treasure it."
"...Just go inside the changing room..." Estorea mumbled.
They both grinned and obliged to her orders.
Hearing the shuffling of clothes, Estorea bit her bottom lip nervously. It wasn't her first time designing clothes, although she had tried on her own designs before and they were comfortable, she wasn't sure if other people besides her would do it.
Filled with anticipation, she held her breath until the two of them came out of the changing rooms. Looking stylish, Aelia twirled around in her outfit as Haigu fumbled with his jacket.
"This is so comfortable and cute, Young Miss! I didn't know you had a talent for designing!" Aelia complimented.
"Indeed, this is a very nice outfit. It's easy to put on too." Haigu commented, tugging the edge of his gloves.
"I'm glad you like it... Well, shall we go home now?"
Haigu and Aelia both smiled at her,
"Of course, Young Miss!"
"By all means, My Lady."
