"I think that's the best sundae I ever had." Rosa walked next to Rena while still holding Maria. She was still smiling, making Rosa smile in return.
"I think Maria feels the same." Rena giggled. "It was nice of you to let her have a little of your sundae."
"I'm just happy one spoonful was enough for her." Rosa giggled as she looked at Maria. "That was all you were getting from Mama."
"Rena," Maria said as she kept smiling.
"No, Mama wasn't going to let Rena spoil you either." Rosa tickled Maria, making her laugh more. "You're already too spoiled."
"Unfortunately, I couldn't share any of my cake." Rena smiled as she licked her lips, remembering the slice of chocolate cake she ordered. "It was too good."
"Hear that? Even Rena can't spoil you anymore." Rosa giggled as she tickled Maria more. Rena just watched as Rosa continued playing with her daughter. She smiled as she saw the fun both of them were having.
The sun was now going down as Rosa and Rena walked through town. Even though Rena had thought getting a meal together would have ended their interaction, they walked side by side again like they had decided to do something else.
"So," Rena said, getting Rosa to turn to look at her. "What is it you'd like to do now?"
"I haven't thought about it, to be honest." Rosa held her chin. "I got everything for Maria, and we went out to eat. I'm not sure what else to do before the day ends."
"Why not go shopping for you?" Rena smiled.
"For me?" Rosa stopped as she raised an eyebrow. "What even for?"
"You spent all day treating me and Maria, so why not treat yourself?" Rena stopped and turned completely to face her.
Rosa stood there momentarily, wondering what they'd even shop for. She had everything she needed for the vacation, so there wasn't anything for her to buy. However, she remembered Rena's comments when she saw her clothing in her hotel room.
"I guess I could find some clothes that would be better for staying here." Rosa sighed. "This dress is supposed to only be for pitching to people, so I don't want to wear it too often and possibly ruin it."
"That's a perfect idea!" Rena took Rosa's hand. "Let's go shopping for Rosa!"
"Rena! Slow down!" Rosa giggled as Rena started dragging her to a clothing store.
After pulling Rosa along, they reached a clothing store near her hotel. Rena pulled her inside and looked around the store, unsure where to start.
"I guess maybe I should head over there to start." Rosa headed toward the suits and dress clothes before Rena grabbed her hand.
"You have plenty of those already." Rena started pulling another way. "Let's head this way instead."
"Where are you even taking me to?" Rosa tried to pull her arm free.
"We're going to,"
"Oh ho ho ho." Rena stopped as she heard a familiar laugh. She turned toward it and saw Satoko laughing, standing beside Mion and Rika. She also saw Keiichi a little bit away from them, holding a bunch of shopping bags.
"Hey guys." Rena waved as she let go of Rosa's hand and approached them.
"Oh, Rena. There you are." Mion smiled as she saw Rena walking to them. "We didn't see you earlier for club. You missed Keiichi losing again."
"Oh ho ho ho." Satoko kept laughing. "He thought he actually could beat me but was sadly mistaken."
"I still say you cheated!" Keiichi yelled, clinching the handles of the bags harder.
"And what proof do you have of that?" Satoko grinned, making Keiichi continue to stare at her.
"Wait, Keiichi?" Rosa came up., making everyone turn to her. "You mean the boy you made wear that Angel Mort outfit?"
"What!?" Keiichi blushed even more as he turned towards Rosa. "How do you know that!?"
"I told her." Rena smiled.
"Why would you tell a stranger that!?" Keiichi turned to look at Rena.
"Rosa isn't a stranger." Rena giggled."She's my friend."
"How did Shion get here so fast, though?" Rosa asked, looking at the green-haired girl.
"I'm not Shion. I'm Mion." Mion smiled. "Shion is my twin sister."
"Oh, okay." Rosa nodded.
"And this is Satoko." Mion pointed at the girl in question. "Our little troublemaker."
"Says you." Satoko stuck her tongue out at Mion.
"According to Shion, Satoko is the most adorable thing in Himanzawa." Rosa giggled. "I can see she's right."
"Ehh…" Satoko blushed. "That's nowhere near the truth. If anyone's that, it would be Rika!"
"Nipah," Rika replied after Satoko pointed at her.
"I think Rika has some fierce competition now." Rena giggled as she pointed at the baby in Rosa's arms, making everyone look towards her. "Even Shion said she's more adorable than Satoko."
"I think Shion may be right about that." Mion giggled as she got closer to Maria. Maria was now looking up at her. "And what's your name?"
"Rena," Maria replied.
"Another Rena, who's also a redhead with blue eyes?" Mion smiled. "Now, what are the chances of that?"
"Her name's Maria." Rosa giggled. "Rena was just her first word."
"She does kind of look like a baby version of Rena." Satoko giggled as she got closer and leaned closer to Maria. "She's so ador…"
Maria cut her off by grabbing the side of her face, making Satoko's eyes widen.
"Maria!" Rosa tried to reach for Maria's hand to let go.
"Awe, she just wants to help Satoko smile." Rika walked up to Satoko, grabbed the other side of her face, and pulled. Somehow, Satoko's eyes got even wider. "See?"
Maria laughed as she saw Satoko's face before letting go. Rosa just smiled as she watched all of them.
"There you three are." Another voice said from behind them. They all turned to see Shion running to them, holding Maria's yellow bear. "I think you forgot something."
"Oh, Shion, thank you so much!" Rosa ran up and took the bear as she gave it to Maria. Maria smiled as she grabbed it. "I can't believe we forgot that."
"No problem." Shion smiled before realizing everyone was there as well. "What are all of you doing here?"
"Keiichi lost and has to hold all the bags of clothes we bought." Mion smiled as she pointed at Keiichi, still holding the bags.
"Of course." Shion laughed.
"Whatever." Keiichi sighed. "I can handle any amount of bags you make me carry."
"And why are you two here?" Shion turned to Rosa and Rena.
"Rena suggested I should go clothes shopping," Rosa explained.
"Rosa has too many dark suits and dresses." Rena frowned. "She needs more kyute outfits, like the dress she's currently wearing."
"Rena!" Rosa blushed.
"But it's true," Rena sighed. "You made such a kyute dress, so you need more kyute outfits."
"Wait, she made that dress?" Shion's eyes widened as she pointed at Rosa before turning to look at her. "I didn't know that. It's pretty."
"I know, right?" Rena smiled.
"Can we just focus on what I'm supposed to get?" Rosa sighed.
"Hmmmm." Shion grinned as she heard Rosa and then looked at Keiichi. "That gives me an idea."
"What idea?" Rosa raised an eyebrow. However, Shion ignored her and grabbed everyone but Keiichi. All the girls went into a huddle as Shion whispered to them.
After Shion finished, they looked at Rosa and Keiichi, and all grinned.
"Now what?" Keiichi sighed as a chill ran down his spine.
"Well, Mister Tough Guy, that can handle anything." Shion stepped forward. "Since you're so strong, and Rosa needs some cute outfits, we'll kill two birds with one stone."
"We'll each pick something for Rosa to get, and Keiichi will carry that for her too." Mion stood next to her sister.
"That shouldn't be a problem." Rena stood between Mion and Shion and smiled. "Right, Keiichi?"
Keiichi just stared at them, frowning at his bad luck.
"Why do I have to be involved in this now?" Rosa sighed
"Hey, why don't I pick an outfit for Rosa?" Keiichi raised an eyebrow.
"Cause you're a pervert that would have picked a swimsuit," Shion replied, making the others laugh.
"That's not true!" Keiichi raised his shoulders.
"Oh really?" Rosa raised an eyebrow as he turned to her. "And what would you have picked?"
"Ummm…" Keiichi blushed as he couldn't reply.
"Told ya." Shion laughed as Keiichi dropped his shoulders and looked to the floor.
"Ehh, I guess this could be a little fun." Rosa sighed as she smiled at her daughter. Maria smiled back before Rosa turned to the others. "So, where should we start?"
