A month later, we arrived at the Bazaar.
I bought some glassware as gifts for Sylphy and others.
Odd shaped glass bottles, a hair clip made of red glass engraved with tribal designs;
Hopefully they won't break before I get home.
Then, I also bought some rice.
Seedlings.
Although I don't think they would grow properly, but at least I want to try.
If not, I can eat it anyways.
That night, Elinalise brought the girls out for drinks.
Something like a girls night out.
Even though at their age, none of them can properly be called girls anymore.

If there's a trigger to get her memories back... ah, probably not.
