Hell, if he wanted to, he couLd even bring a tent antl steep in if Like a king,
'Incredible_. oh, this is simply incrediffiet
Of course, not all of these things couLd be bought in a general store But he coutd visit other places or simply order stuff on the network
As he was heading for the registers, a familiar voice suddenly putted him out of his thoughts " _MonniCan we get ice cream," Sunny froze fora moment, then slowly turned his head and Looked. his Left, down a Long aisle he was passing_ There, a pate girl of around fourteen years was standing near a tan, graceful woman in her forties_ An eight-year-old boy with Monde hair antl a bright scele was pushing a tub of ice cream into her hands_ Sunny watched Rain and her family for a .w moments, then turned away antl continued on his way, Leaving them behind A quiet sigh escaped from his lips
At Least she's doing fine_ Well, of course she is. I W only been gone for a month. Why would anything happen simply because I wasn't here,'
He reached the register, then heceated for a bit antl turned back
When he returned,.ere were several tubs of delicious ice cream added to his cart
As the Light of dawn shined on the Chained Isles, Sunny appeared on the Attar Island of the Sanctuary of Noces He stared at the sky, grimaced at the absence of the moon, and headed toward his room
