Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5352 Seventh Floor
The girl with the side ponytail felt a little disappointed.

It's been a while...

Probably……

She missed that child...
……

Nothing.

Anyway...

She always goes up to take a look.

"Thank you."

After saying this again, the girl with the side ponytail strode towards the elevator.

She started running.

The elevator didn't stop even after I got on it.

……

She quickly ran to the elevator.

Then take the elevator again.

The girl with a side ponytail came to the third floor.

……

The store mentioned by the short-haired girl was quickly found by the girl with the side ponytail.

Because it really stands out.

There is a doll this big placed at the door of that store.

……

The girl with side ponytail stands next to the doll.

The joy in my heart disappeared, and a look of confusion appeared on my face.

Ok.

She found the store.

and then?
Where are the children?
Where is she going to find the child?

……

The girl with the side ponytail was breathing heavily.

She had trouble breathing from running all the way here.

She exhaled slowly, stopping her own panting.

……

"Princess……"

The girl with side ponytail murmured.

"where are you?"

The girl with side ponytail looked up.

The broadcast searching for the child has been on.

This also shows that...

The child has still not been found.

……

The girl with the side ponytail took a deep breath.

She pursed her lips hard.

Taking steps.

Nothing will change if you stand still.

……

The girl with a side ponytail walked into each store and asked the store clerks and customers if they had seen a little girl in a pink princess dress.
……

The expected shake of the head and similar negative answers made the girl with the ponytail a little tired.

I don’t know. I don’t know…

I don’t know!
Didn't anyone see that child?

Oh.

Have.

The first two girls she met.

The girl with short hair saw the princess.

She was glad that she spoke up because of the other party's remarks.

At least……

From the short-haired girl's mouth, she confirmed...

The princess is indeed in this mall.

This is already a great achievement.

……

The girl with short hair also gave the specific location.

Unfortunately.

Children are not stationary.

When she arrived at the place the short-haired girl mentioned, where could she find...the child?

……

I thought I had made some progress in my search...

It seems to be back to square one.

……

As time passed, the girl with the side ponytail became more and more anxious.

But there is nothing I can do.

The torment of having no place to use her strength made her want to scream.

……

There is no third floor.

The girl with the side ponytail searched the entire third floor.

inside and outside.

She went into every store.

She asked everyone she saw: Did you see a little girl in a pink princess dress?
……

She is really weird...

I asked so many people...

No one noticed it.

That child...

It's so conspicuous.

She once thought that the child always made himself too conspicuous.

But today, she felt that the child was not conspicuous enough.

otherwise……

Why did I ask so many people...

Only one person saw the child?

……

The girl with side ponytail turned her head while standing at the elevator entrance.

Is she hesitating whether to take the elevator?
Go up one level or down one level?
Did she really search the entire third floor?
Is she sure the child is not here?
Is she really... sure?

……

The girl with the side ponytail bit her lower lip lightly.

Now is not the time to hesitate.

The girl with the side ponytail decided to go downstairs.

Let’s look at the second floor first…
Because she thought of a reason.

The child is actually a little afraid of heights. In a shopping mall, where the child is naked and goes up and down the elevator, the child probably wouldn't dare to sit there alone and go up...

……

The girl with the side ponytail quickly reached the second floor.

The layout is almost the same as the third floor.

The girl with the side ponytail took a deep breath.

The steps taken have become much more firm.

……

No.

The girl with a side ponytail who had left the elevator with a high-spirited look on her face now drooped her shoulders.

She was indeed too optimistic.

……

Xiao Xiao stood in front of a layout map of a shopping mall.

It lists all the stores in the mall as well as information such as toilets, emergency passages, etc.

……

That child…
Where will you go?
……

Xiao Xiao's eyes fell on a shop.

This is a candy store.

Will the child...go to this store?
……

Xiao Xiao memorized the locations of every store that the children might visit.

Except for clothing stores.

The shops here mainly sell adult clothing.

There are very few children's clothes.

Not suitable for the child.

……

Unfortunately, this layout map does not indicate the characteristics of each clothing store.

If it's a princess-style clothing store...

Even if there is no suitable size...

Will the child go in and take a look too?

After all, the princess isn’t called that for nothing.

The child's enthusiasm for things related to princesses is enormous.

……

Take one step at a time.

Xiao Xiao took a step forward.

While visiting stores that the princess might visit, pay attention to the stores along the way.

……

Xiao Xiao paused slightly.

There are facilities for children to play in the center of the mall.

The laughter of several children floated over the shopping mall.

……

There was no child in a pink princess dress.

……

Xiao Xiao withdrew his gaze.

The children's laughter gradually faded away.

……

Xiao Xiao looked at the time.

There are still ten minutes left before the half hour appointment he had with the girl.

He took the elevator directly to the seventh floor.

The top floor of this mall.

……

On this level...

There is a candy store.

He asked the clerk in the mall.

The clerk said that the candy store had just opened.

The store is big and new.

It is filled with all kinds of beautiful and delicious candies.

On the opening day, the store was packed with people and the line stretched out outside the store.

Now it's been a week since I left the business.

Business is still good.

Very popular among girls and children.

……

Xiao Xiao walked out of the elevator.

Go forward.

Turning a corner, he saw the candy store.

The store's decoration is fairy-tale-like and slightly exaggerated.

As the distance got closer, the sweet aroma of candy in the air became more and more obvious.

Even if the store is closed.

But every time a customer came in or out, the sweet atmosphere of the store leaked out a little.

……

Xiao Xiao pushed open the shop door.

A stronger candy aroma hits you.

At the same time, lovely music fills the ears.

……

As the door behind him closed, Xiao Xiao had the illusion that he had entered the kingdom of candy.

Even the store clerks are wearing work clothes that look like candy.

There is a candy hairpin on her hair.

……

The clerk is very enthusiastic.

There was sweetness in her voice.

But he won't be overly enthusiastic and make people uncomfortable.

After Xiao Xiao expressed that he wanted to take a look alone first, the clerk smiled and left.

……

There are a lot of children in the store.

The second is girls.

Boys can be divided into two basic categories.

The child's father and the girl's boyfriend.

……

Xiao Xiao walked through the shelves filled with beautiful candies.

If it wasn't urgent to find the child now, Xiao Xiao should be holding a basket in his hand.

And the basket was filled with candy.

ps: I wish you all a happy new year～(*︶*)!!!

In the new year, I wish you good health, all your wishes come true, and you are happy every day o(｀ω)o～!!!
