"Well then, should we all go celebrate because all of you young ones passed?" Maria's grandmother said.
"Sure! I wanna go eat out with everyone!" Maria added.
"I have no problems with that. I have no work today anyway." Elise's mother said.
"I don't even have a job as I am an adventurer so I am okay." Elise's father said.
"I already have an instructor teaching the kids back at our family anyway so it doesn't matter. Son, you're going to eat with them as well right?" Lance's father said.
"I am okay with that. I can pay for our meals." Sam's father said.
"Alright let's go then! Where should we go?" Sam said.
"The Electric Lily!" The parents said all at once.
"Oh? Looks like we all have the same taste then huh? Guess we don't need to argue about where to go." Sam's father said.
"That's good, I didn't want to ruin our honor by picking senseless fights." Lance's father said.
"Same." Elise's father said.
"Alright then, let's go. By the way little girl, are you going to get down?" Elise's mother said as she looked at Sylvie.
"I will get down!" Sylvie said however she still proceeded to be on top of the tree.
"Any time now?" Pia said.
"You get in the carriage. Go. Shoo. Go then I'll come down." Sylvie said as she gave a glare at Pia.
"Alright, I'll see you in the restaurant anyway." Pia said as she went into the carriage along with Sam.
"Hup." Sylvie said as she jumped down from the tree and landed on the ground.
"Where are your parents?" Maria's grandmother asked Sylvie.
"They're at home." Sylvie replied.
"Why aren't they here with you?" Maria's grandmother asked Sylvie again.
"A female pervert brought me to their house and made me sleep there. Then she brought me here." Sylvie said not minding the insults that were rolling off her tongue.
"Oh, since you're coming along. And your parents aren't here so there's no way you're going anywhere. Why not come join us in our carriage to the restaurant?" Maria's grandmother said.
"Um. Okay..?" Sylvie said as they all went into their individual carriage and headed off to The Electric Lily.
After twenty minutes of riding in the carriage with Sylvie getting hugged by Maria's grandmother even more did they finally reach The Electric Lily.
"Oh this place. I didn't come back here because of that one time last year…" Sylvie muttered as she remembered that overly hyped receptionist that had nearly killed by a hug her due to her being too cute.
"Hm? Is there something wrong with this place little Sylvie?" Maria's grandmother said as she was still carrying Sylvie and walked inside the restaurant with all the others.
"Welcome! Oh hi VIP guests! Why'd you all come on days you never come together? Did you all know eachother or something?" A female receptionist said as she saw the four families that were their vip due to her being a receptionist here for a long time enter.
"Hello Lily!" Sam's father said.
"Hello Mr. Hursh! You're here again as always." Lily said as she greeted the others.
"Can we get a room for all of us Lily?" Elise's mother said.
"Sure Rei." Lily said as she lead them upstairs onto the third floor and into a room that was gigantic.
"Alright, what can I get for you guys?" Lily said as she had a notebook out and a pen as she looked at the four families that sat down.
She did not see Sylvie though as she was casting camouflage magic on herself so Lily could not see her. She was praying for Lily to not be able to see her so badly.
"Can I get my usual?" The four families asked Lily, excluding Sylvie who was still silent trying not to reveal herself.
"Oh little Sylvie, what would you li- Where's little Sylvie?" Maria's grandmother said as she turned to look at the little Sylvie who had disappeared and was not on her chair.
'Don't sell me out grandmother!' Sylvie screamed inside her head.
"Little Sylvie? The one with white hair?" Lily immediately said.
"Ah yeah, do you know her?" Maria's grandmother said.
"Yes I do! She hasn't been here in a year though, I wonder why. She did like the food here. Maybe she was busy. However, if it's her I definitely know where she's hiding!" Lily said as she immediately looked at Sylvie who was camouflaged.
'Theresnowaytheresnowaytheresnoway.' Sylvie's heart started to pump rapidly as she thought that inside her head rapidly.
"Found you little Sylvie~" Lily said as she jumped over the table and hugged the frozen stiff Sylvie who had lost her camouflage due to her being unable to control her MP under all the fright she was receiving.
"Let go of me!!!" Sylvie immediately started to cry.
"Why didn't you come visit us at all~?" Lily asked as she hugged Sylvie even tighter.
"Kuh- AI CAHN BREET LEZH GOE" Sylvie tried to speak but was being choked so badly due to the hug.
"Ah~ Lily let go of the poor girl. You're killing her." Rei said as she saw Sylvie's crying face and heard her voice.
"Oh my bad little Sylvie." Lily said as she let go of Sylvie.
"Wuwuwuwu!" Sylvie immediately burst out in tears and jumped towards Maria's grandmother and buried her head into her chest. As she felt that was the most comfortable spot for her to be in as Maria's grandmother was nice to her.
"There there, it's okay." Maria's grandmother immediately said as she started to soothe Sylvie.
"Don't cry, you're wasting energy to eat later." Maria's grandmother said as she stroked Sylvie's head and back.
"Wuwuwuwu!" Sylvie continued crying as she hugged Maria's grandmother even tighter.
"There there… It's okay. Lily can you go get our food?" Maria's grandmother said as she looked at the culprit.
"Sure, I guess I'll get her what she got last year. Alright, be back soon!" Lily said as she left the room and went downstairs.
