"Uncle, let me down," Ellyn said sweetly, patting Hazuki's head.
Hazuki slowed his dramatic walk and looked up at her.
"Hmm? Where are you going?" he asked suspiciously.
Ellyn grinned playfully, already sliding down his back like a cat.
"Ah~ nothing!" she said innocently. "I just wanna see the next shop."
Hazuki narrowed his eyes at her.
"Don't wander too far, alright?" he warned, crossing his arms.
Ellyn turned around, showing her palm with a cheeky smile.
Hazuki blinked.
"Hmm? What do you want?"
She wiggled her fingers.
"Hee~ Money~" she chirped.
Hazuki groaned dramatically, reaching into the pouch he took from the tiger assassin.
"Ugh..." He mumbled under his breath about being bullied by a brat, but still pulled out several shiny silver coins and slapped them into her waiting hand.
"Here! Don't waste it on junk food!" he grumbled.
"Hehe~ Thank you, Uncle~" Ellyn beamed, quickly stuffing the coins into her small pouch.
