Velvet brushed her teeth with the toothbrush she'd brought and looked satisfied. Was it because shed slept well? "As expected. Everyone should sleep together~"
Gargle, gargle
After finishing brushing her teeth and rinsing her mouth with water, she stood from the chair she was using as a platform.
"Velvet, you brush your teeth well." Adela, sitting at the table, gave the girl a pleased look.
"Rembering to brush your teeth after waking up is vital! Velvet said. Strong and sharp teeth are important for dragons!"
Adela smiled at Velvets words, but the little dragon girls expression remained stiff as she put her toothbrush back into her bag and thought back to when Sumire had given her the toothbrush.
[Velvet. This toothbrush and toothpaste are amazing! Brushing three tis a day will make your teeth strong and sharp!]
[Eek Then I will crush everything I bite!]
[Fufu, exactly! You must diligently brush your teeth to bite the bad people.]
She looked over the rest of her belongings as well, all of which had been given to her by Sumire.
[Velvet~ This is a bandage and dicine for wounds. You must treat wounds imdiately so they don't leave scars!]
[Kyahang! These are all essential for adventures! Mommy Sumire is amazing!]
"Kyahang" Velvets shoulders slumped, and she wondered what Sumire was doing at the mont. Was she following the usual routine? If so, shed be preparing a delicious breakfast. Velvet believed shed ssed things up. 'Ive been selfish. Mommy Sumire must now hate .'
Velvet was inherently smart since she was a dragon. Perhaps, due to her being by Sumire's side, she'd also developed empathy. She was aware that Sumire's stern behavior was for her own good. 'Mommy Sumire always thinks of , but I just whined'
Could she be forgiven if she returned? The thought of Sumire possibly disliking her made Velvet's shoulders droop even more. "Dad, I finished brushing my teeth"
"Good job, Velvet." YuSung gently took Velvet's hands and helped her straighten up.
Adela noticed the girls gloomy expression and worriedly asked, "Velvet, is sothing wrong? You look upset."
"Today, I thought that Ive been very bad. I only caused Mommy Sumire to worry and I just whined"
YuSung stroked her head as if telling her everything was okay, but Velvet's expression remained dark.
"Haha Yesterday, she was scolded by Sumire," YuSung explained.
Adela wondered what Velvet couldve done that deserved a scolding. "I see" She didnt offer any advice, though. It was sothing Velvet had to overco, so all she could do was cheer for the little dragon.
Swoosh!
Finally, Velvet opened the portal and entered with her shoulders still drooping; all Adela could do was wave goodbye.

How tired must she have been? EunAh was still slumped over the massage chair, firmly asleep and unaware of everything that had happened. Sumire had put a blanket over EunAh's knees so she didn't catch a cold overnight.
Tsss!!
She woke up from the loud noise of the portal opening and stood, slowly blinking as she t YuSungs eyes and then saw Velvet standing next to him, looking dejected. When she saw Velvets bag, she asked, Did you guys go sowhere?
YuSung started to say, "Ah, yesterday"
Even if she wasn't feeling well, Velvet was still a smart dragon. Just when YuSung was about to reveal that theyd spent the night sleeping with Adela, she interrupted him for the sake of her familys peace. "Dad and I were together!"
"Is that so? You guys must have missed breakfast." EunAh looked around and yawned. "Sumire doesn't seem to be here. Should I make sothing?" Having previously succeeded in making curry thanks to Velvet's unseen help, she was confident in her cooking.
Normally, Velvet would have used her brain at full capacity to stop EunAh from cooking, but not that ti.
"Uh" Sumire wasn't there? Was it because of her? "She isn't here?" Velvet stumbled backward in shock.
"Are you okay?" EunAh, who wasn't aware of the situation, was simply puzzled, but Velvet's expression looked extrely solemn.
Even if she threw a tantrum, the little dragon thought Sumire would always be by her side, but that was sothing shed taken for granted. She's been fooled by the familiarity and forgotten what was truly precious. Unfortunately, she couldnt turn back ti.
"Kyahuu- Kyahuuu-" Velvet began crying. "Kyahaaaang-!"
"Eh? V-Velvet?" EunAh, not knowing what had happened, anxiously comforted Velvet. "Wh-what happened? Is it because I said I'd cook? Shall we just wait until Sumire cos back?"
"K-kyahang? Mommy Sumire?" Velvet stopped crying at the ntion of Sumire's na.
EunAh patted Velvet's back. "Yes. She'll be here soon. After all, she always goes shopping at this ti"
Ding-dong!
The rooms door opened, and Velvet looked over to see Sumire entering, grocery bags hanging from her arms.
As the club's room opened.
"Kyahang" Velvet's eyes widened, and tears welled up.
Sumire smiled as if she already knew everything. "Velvet"
Velvet ran toward her. "Mommy-!"
"Velvet!" Sumire exclaid.
The two t in the middle of the room and embraced each other tightly.
I was wrong! Velvet cried out. Ive been bad-!"
"No, Velvet. I'm the one who did wrong. After all youre still a child." Sumire shed a single tear.
After being held by Sumire, Velvet regained her usual innocent smile. "Kyahang!"
