After just a few steps out, Xia Qing's eyes lit up.

In front of the line of sight, standing next to the building across the road, was a little girl, who looked about ten years old, with shoulder-length brown hair that looked adorable.

She had a cute face that could spread joy to people around her when she smiled, but now her eyes were full of uneasiness, and she looked like she was about to cry, ruining that cute face.

Standing next to the girl was Emilia, who had bumped into Xia Qing before and looked very eager to find her lost property.

However, she was standing bent over in front of the little girl.

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm not the person you're looking for."

Satila knelt down and said this to the girl.

The girl's eyes widened in surprise, and what appeared in her eyes was not relief, but timidity.

Others could tell at a glance that she was frightened inside by being approached by a stranger.

"I may be a little nosy, but where are your parents? Aren't they with you?"

Satila also seemed to notice that the girl was scared, so her voice was softer than before.

But her care was not conveyed to the young child who was afraid and trembling because he had lost his protector.

"Woo..."

Seeing the tears gathering in the girl's eyes, Emilia looked very panicked. She reached out to comfort her but was afraid of scaring her, so she was at a loss for a moment.

"Well, I said, don't cry. Big sister didn't do anything to you."

Although she tried to open the girl's closed heart, the timid child just kept shaking his head, and then tears began to well up in his eyes, and the tears were about to overflow.

"What I'm holding in my hand now is a brass-colored coin."

"Eh?"

The sudden interruption made Satila stunned and lost her voice.

Looking up, there was a man wearing black clothes standing next to her, and the man's appearance made Emilia's eyes widen.

"Didn't you just——"

Xia Qing waved his hand, signaling Emilia to be silent.

Then, he extended his right hand to the surprised girl.

"Look, there is a copper coin on this right hand, right? Take a good look at it. Next, I want to turn it into... um..."

Xia Qing thought for a moment and then said.

"I want to turn it into a beautiful rose~!"

Hearing this sentence, the girl who suddenly thought it was impossible blinked her eyes. She checked Xia Qing's outstretched hands again and again, and after confirming that there could be nothing else except a copper coin, she raised her head and continued to look at Xia Qing's hand. Face.

"Watch it~" Xia Qing said as he clapped his palms, and the copper coin was sandwiched in the middle.

The girl confirmed this and stared at Xia Qing's hand with all her attention, making sure that he would not make any small movements.

But then, when Xia Qing opened her palm, the girl's eyes widened in surprise.

"Eh? Where have you gone?"

She immediately checked Xia Qing's hands again and again, and she could no longer see the copper coin in either her palms or the back of her hands.

"Oh, why are you missing!?" Emilia, who was supposed to cooperate in comforting the girl, exclaimed like a child at this time.

It would be a mistake to think that she was helping. Emilia was really surprised to make such an exclamation.

"..." The girl looked at Emilia's performance and was speechless.

But then, Xia Qing stretched out her right hand and snapped her fingers on the back of the little girl's slender, snow-white neck. When she retracted her right hand, she was already holding a rose that bloomed in bright colors under the sunlight.

"Wow!"

The girl exclaimed.

"I'll give you this flower as a reward for being so cute."

Xia Qing knelt down and finally touched the cute girl's hair as she wished.

The girl whose head was touched blushed slightly, and after taking the rose, she saw the copper coins hidden inside the petals.

"Eh?" The girl took out the copper coins and planned to return them to Xia Qing.

"No need to give it back to me, just keep it."

Xia Qing said with a chuckle.

"that……"

Xia Qing suddenly felt someone poking his shoulder.

Looking back, Emilia also squatted down and asked curiously.

"You...what did you do just now?"

"..."

The corner of Xia Qing's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"You're actually not asking me about my intention but about my technique?"

"Yeah." Emilia nodded confidently.

"..."

Xia Qing turned her head and ignored her.

Then he looked at the little girl in front of him who had become much more well-behaved. At this moment, her hands were tightly holding the flowers given to her by Xia Qing. Her previously uneasy mood seemed to have stabilized, and she also faced Xia Qing's questions. Answered obediently.

Xia Qing even suspected that the child would leave with him now that he took out a piece of candy.

After listening to the little girl tell her the reason for crying, Xia Qing nodded.

"I see, you got separated from your mother. It doesn't matter, I will take you to find her now."

Xia Qing touched the girl's head again and then raised his hand to the girl like a gentleman. The girl also stretched out her hand timidly and placed it in Xia Qing's palm.

Seeing this scene, Emilia's eyes widened and she couldn't help but complain.
