The two lolis sprinted to Baiyi's side and grabbed his gauntlets. "Hey, Big Meanie! How is it?" they asked anxiously.
"Well …" Baiyi said hesitantly. He squeezed their soft hands and led them to his yard. "Let's talk while we work."
With that, he bent down to pick up the potted flowers and plants that had been messed up by the two little brats, tidied up the branches and leaves with some heartache, and put them back in their original places. It was probably only when he was taking care of the flowers and plants that he would do it himself instead of using magic to grab them.
The two lolis saw Baiyi's actions and looked at the yard, which had been tidied up by the two lolis. The ground was littered with animal potted plants, and the two lolis felt a little guilty. They hurried to help Baiyi tidy up the garden.
Santa imitated Baiyi's actions and picked up the animal potted plants, trying to remember where they had been placed. Anna, on the other hand, lay on the grass and began to pick up the leftovers of snacks.
Baiyi watched the scene with satisfaction. 'These two lolis are adorable when they're obedient.' However, he did not dare to stare at it for too long because the skirt that Anna was wearing was too short. With it lying on the ground, he would be able to see the pattern clearly from his angle. Thus, he could only avert his gaze stiffly.
'Someone would probably want to replace Baiyi and ask for his vantage point.'
While tidying up the yard, Baiyi told the two lolis about his conversation with Laeticia. The two lolis listened to him as they worked, creating a warm, family-like atmosphere.
"So, big sis should be fine now, right?" Santa stood beside a flower stand and reached out to push an elephant potted plant back to its original position. Unfortunately, she was too short. Even though she tried her best to stand on her tiptoes and straighten her hands, her face was still flushed red. In the end, she could only let out an aggrieved whimper from her mouth. "Woo … Woo … Woo …"
Baiyi squatted down and grabbed her calves, which were wrapped in black stockings, and lifted her up a little. Only then was Santa able to reach the flower pot and push it back to its original position.
Speaking of which, it was strange. He was so short that he couldn't reach it at all, so how did he mess it up before? Baiyi took a closer look at the pergola. Sure enough, there was a trail of footprints on it. It seemed like someone had climbed up the pergola to take it down. Sure enough, this brat's ability to cause trouble was beyond the imagination of ordinary people, right? Baiyi grumbled in his mind, but he did not put Santa down. Instead, he allowed her to sit in his arms and held her in his arms, using her as a ladder for her.
Anna, who was beside him, scrambled to her feet and dusted off the grass on her white stockings. Then, she ran over to the Soul Armature with the animal potted plant that was supposed to be placed on the ground and handed it to Baiyi.
Baiyi took the potted plant and passed it to Santa. He pointed at its position, and she placed it back in its original position.
This scene looked a little like a loving father teaching his two naughty and adorable daughters to work.
Baiyi hugged Santa in his arms, enjoying her soft, fragrant body, and Anna's adorable figure as she ran around the room. Baiyi felt that the loli element of the day had been fully replenished, so he returned to their previous topic. "Laeticia's problem isn't that easy to solve. She only took a good rest today, but the root of the problem is still there."
"Then … what should we do?" Santa turned to look at Baiyi and asked, blinking her large, golden eyes.
"She'll have to deal with the problem on her own. The only thing we can do is help her calm down and give her more love," Baiyi replied.
"So, you mean to make her happy?" Anna asked, holding a kitten pot in her arms.
Santa took the kitty flower pot from Baiyi's hand and stretched out her hands, trying to place it on top of the stand. Baiyi cooperated and lifted her up, returning the flower pot to its original position. Baiyi lifted her up, and the stand, which was filled with little animal pots, returned to its original position.
Santa did not immediately get off Baiyi's lap after the stand was restored to its original position. It was as if she had subconsciously realized that being hugged by Big Meanie was not that bad. "But … there's no Christmas in this world. Otherwise, I could give my sister a present. She'd be happy, right?"
When Anna saw how comfortable Santa was in Baiyi's arms, she took the initiative to ask for a hug. Baiyi's heart blossomed, and he picked her up as well. "You don't have to wait until Christmas to give her a present, do you? All you need is the right time. "
"Is that so? But … I didn't bring my Santa Claus bag, and I don't have anything on me. What should I give her? "Santa pouted.
"Well … Compared to the presents that others make and keep in their pockets, I think it'd be better if I could make my own present," Baiyi suggested. With the two lolis in his arms, Baiyi walked into his mansion and went to his lab.
Of course, he didn't want to do something wretched to such a loli. He just wanted them to make a gift that could make Laeticia happy under his guidance. At the same time, it was also a proof that she could feel everyone's care.
In the following days, the two lolis would come to Baiyi's house early in the morning and devote themselves to the gift-making process. Baiyi would even bring their meals home. Sometimes, when Baiyi was not home, the two lolis would sit by his door and wait for him to return.
Santa would also report to Baiyi about Laeticia's condition every day. According to Santa, Laeticia was still frowning from time to time, but at least she was able to sleep peacefully. She was doing much better than before.
"I'm sure she'll be happier when she receives your presents," Baiyi said, patting the lolis on their heads.
A week later, two gifts were presented to Laeticia, each of which had been designed by Baiyi and designed by the girls themselves.
"T-this is …" Laeticia stared at the lifelike sculptures in front of her. They looked like natural landscapes. On one side was the azure sea, and on the other side was the golden sand. At the border between the two stood a white, flawless gate. The gate was slightly opened, revealing the blue sky and white clouds behind it, as well as the vast sea that made people feel refreshed.
According to Baiyi, doing so would give Laeticia the feeling of facing the sea and opening up her heart to it. It would help to alleviate her current state of holding on to her sufferings all by herself.
"This is called the Gate of the Sea. Once you open it, you'll find yourself in an endless sea. I think it's a wonderful dream," Santa explained. Then, she asked, "Sister, do you believe it?"
"If I don't believe in my adorable sister's dream, who will?" Laeticia pulled Santa into her arms and rubbed her face against the latter's. A smile of contentment and happiness spread across her face.
After a while, the two separated, and their eyes fell on Anna's present. It was a dress made of soft white muslin, with a flawless white hood and a veil that covered her ankles. The dress was adorned with a black hairband and a black flower. It was so beautiful that it looked like something a goddess would wear.
There was not much meaning behind the dress, but Baiyi thought that a beautiful dress would be a better gift. Anna listened to Baiyi's suggestion and began to sew the dress. Along the way, she received help from Nota and Attie, and finally, the dress was presented to the public.
"This is actually what my sisters like to wear. I'm different from my sisters; they're true goddesses. As for me … Anyway, I think Sister Laeticia is as gentle and beautiful as a goddess. I hope that you can wear this dress and become like my sisters," Anna explained with a smile.
Laeticia's eyes brimmed with tears, and she pulled Anna into her arms. The three girls hugged each other tightly, and the air was filled with the scent of tangerine.
Baiyi, on the other hand, used the Assassin's Piggy Snort stealth technique to watch the scene unfold. He sighed inwardly. 'You're in a much better mood now, aren't you? And I don't have to worry about you changing your mind … '
The next day, Santa happily ran over to Baiyi and told him that Laeticia had made up her mind. The hesitation and struggle on her face had disappeared, and she looked just like before. 'Looks like she's finally back to normal,' Baiyi thought to himself.
"That's a good thing," Baiyi replied. Baiyi breathed a sigh of relief. He did not know how Laeticia managed to deal with the conflict between her beliefs. Perhaps it was because she believed in the Cleric's unscientific theories, which separated faith from dogma? Either way, she had let go of her beliefs, so there was no need for her to worry anymore, as long as the True God did not try to bewitch her again.
"Oh, and I want to thank you, Big Meanie. Thank you for your help," Santa said happily.
Baiyi hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he decided to use a more acceptable form of address. "If you're thanking me, then don't call me Big Meanie anymore. Call me Mr. Hope …"
"Okay," Santa nodded obediently. "Then, as a token of my appreciation, shall I sing a song for you?"
