A big black limousine appeared right in front of our house. I had seen it before but every time I saw it I felt surprised. Elisa was really of the high society if she had the typical car that rich people had. And from there, a beautiful girl with hair with golden drills and a refined appearance emerged, almost jumping out of the car like a frog.

"Ah! Lady Elisa, please don't run like that, you might get your clothes nasty!" An old butler ran behind her trying to stop her from running over the streets which had some mud on them.

"Oh my! Hello everybody! What a wonderful garden you've got here!" Elisa quickly entered the garden and looked around.

"Hello Elisa, you caught us right in the middle of this." I giggled.

"I can see that!" Elisa ran to my side, quickly holding my hand and kissing it.

"It is a pleasure to see your beautiful and charming grace again, Lady Elayne!" She said with an enchanting smile.

"E-Eh? Ah Nice to meet you as well, Elisa." I said, giving her head pats.

Rich people is really eccentric sometimes

Elisa did the same with Elena.

"Nice to meet you as well Elisa. I convinced mother to go with us. Where's Anna though?" Asked Elena while not being surprised at all by her friend's flashiness as I was.

"Oh that" Elisa quickly clicked her tongue. She didn't brought her.

"You didn't bring her?" Elena facepalmed.

"I-I will! I'll bring her right away!" Elisa said. "In the way back home we'll pick her up, okay?" Elisa crossed her arms while feeling slightly left out. Elena was quite pushy over coming with Anna, but both were best friends, so it couldn't be helped.

"Oh my, I love succulents!" Elisa said. "Oh! Those are cactus with such beautiful flowers! Ah, I bet that's a tomato plant, right?"

"Yeah! Do you know about botany, Elisa?" I wondered.

"But of course Lady Elayne! My house has a big garden where my gardener and some of my servants attend. I go there every day to drink my tea. I really enjoy the beauty of plants. Ah~ these flowers are just as radiant as your eyes!" She said, looking at some flowers growing nearby.

"A-Ah, thanks You're also very radiant yourself!" I giggled a bit.

"Really? Am I?" Elisa asked, as if seeking attention more and more.

"Yeah, you're a very good girl." I said, head patting her. "Thank you for being the friend of my daughter and inviting me to your house."

"Ohohohoho! It is nothing!" Said Elisa. "And of course, I am a very good girl and friend, that's right!"

The butler appeared behind us, lowering his head and apologizing.

"I am very sorry for milady's bad manners"

"Ah, it is fine But it is okay for someone like me to go there?" I sighed. "I am well, I don't know if I would fit there y'know"

Elisa's eyes shone as bright as gold as she held my hands and looked into my eyes.

"You're a treasure for such beautiful, honest, and humble heart, Lady Elayne! You would fit just fine in my house!" She said. "Fear not, the moment we arrive, my servant shall treat you like the queen you are!"

"E-Eh? Ah T-That's nice"

Elisa is very interesting, I guess.

I am feeling slightly scared now of getting there I hope they're not so pushy over etiquette and other things.

Without further ado Elisa pushed us into entering the limousine, but I escaped before going as I had almost forgotten of feeding Blackie, the little black cat that had just arrived.

"Meow"

"Here's some water and food, Blackie. Take care of my garden while we are off, okay? Don't let any birds get here!"

"Meow!"

As if agreeing to my request, Blackie meowed and then continued eating.

"Alright, let's go then."

I quickly entered the limousine and apologized for getting out after I saw Blackie.

"Oh, don't worry! I can tell that Lady Elayne has a very soft spot for animals." Said Elisa. "I wish I could have cats in my house, but my family seem to hate animals, so I've never been able to raise one myself."

"Ah, that's unfortunate." I said. "Blackie is a stray, so he doesn't belong to us, but I let him stay inside from time to time."

"I see" Elisa said with a smile. "I guess you're really a good hearted Saintess!"

"S-Saintess?!" I asked.

Elisa really comes out with the strangest of words sometimes.

"I think you're exaggerating a bit dear" I sighed, head patting her again, each time I did she got happier. This girl really wanted a mother, didn't she?

As we made our way to the house of Anna, I continued talking with her. Unlike my daughter Elisa was incredibly talkative. You would never get bored with her.

"So what about your parents?" I wondered. "I would assume you would need to ask for their permission for this little sleepover, right?"

"Ah" Elisa quickly changed from her cheerful personality, as she got slightly silent, without knowing what to exactly said, she began fidgeting her fingers.

Her butler ended speaking out.

"Milady has been living by herself ever since she's eight years of age. Her parents live separately after their divorce It is a sensitive topic, so I would ask Lady Elayne to not ask further questions" The butler asked.

"O-oh, I see Sorry, Elisa." I said.

"A-Ah! It is nothing, don't worry, Lady Elayne." She said with a smile.

"You can just call me Aunt Elayne if you want to. No need to call me "lady"." I said.

"A-Aunt?!" Elisa asked, suddenly finding the word rather appealing. "S-S-Sure thing! If that's what Lady- Ah, Aunt Elayne wants to be referred as"

She was rather flashy and all, but she was an extremely adorable girl. Living without her parents since she was eight must have created a lot of emptiness in her heart as well, children need their parents until they're adults after all

"Ah, we are here." Elena pointed out, as we reached Anna's house.
