Rode didn't say anything. He wasn't that kind of old-fashioned man. He could feel that Wise was a good person, and his two granddaughters also liked him very much. That was enough.
"Grandpa, you said you had to pay back money before. What money was that?" Odette suddenly asked. Don't be fooled by her usual carefree demeanor; she was actually very meticulous. She had been thrilled to see her grandfather, but because of that, she had also been paying close attention to him and their surroundings. The house was clean, but the furniture was rather old, seeming to be the same pieces from before they left. If it was just that the old man was nostalgic, then why were some of the original pieces of furniture missing? She immediately connected this to the first thing her grandfather had said to Wise.
"That... it's nothing. I just accidentally owed a little money myself. Don't worry, it's almost paid off." Rode said with a smile, looking unconcerned. But in reality, there was still a lot left to pay. The breach of contract fee demanded by the agency was not a small sum. No matter how hard an old man like him worked, how much could he possibly repay? But he didn't want his granddaughters to worry, nor did he want this debt to affect their future lives.
"You're lying, Grandpa," Aurelia said with a worried expression. She knew her grandfather well. He was not the type of person to owe money. And if it were really just a small amount, why would debt collectors come to their door? Her grandfather would never incur a huge debt. The only thing related to him that could possibly cause such a debt was them.
"Was it the agency from before?" Aurelia immediately figured it out. It was that company that had told the sisters that their contract would be over after they finished their last performance. It was also those guys who, after the sisters discovered something was wrong, still didn't want to make a fuss and insisted that the sisters continue to perform, which led to the final tragedy.
Considering their past misdeeds, Aurelia had no doubt that this despicable agency would threaten her grandfather after their deaths and demand that he pay a penalty for breach of contract.
Hearing this, Rode knew he couldn't hide it anymore. He was about to explain when Wise stopped him first. "I will take care of that agency and the debt. You don't have to worry."
"Take care of it?" The three of them were confused.
Wise nodded and continued, "Mhm, there should be a result by tomorrow. And not only that, I will also help Grandpa Rode get back the compensation he was originally owed." An actor dies due to the agency's mistake, and not only do they not receive compensation, but their family is required to pay a penalty? What kind of logic was that?
The sisters didn't know what Wise planned to do, but they would still trust him unconditionally. As for Rode, it went without saying. He was willing to work hard to pay off the debt for his granddaughters' reputation. It showed how important the sisters were to him. And since Wise had saved them, and the sisters trusted him, Rode naturally did as well.
In the end, amidst the three's reluctance, the sisters left their grandfather's home with Wise. They all knew that the sisters' current identities were not suitable for living there. Grandpa Rode wouldn't probe into the matter, but others might not be so understanding. The neighbors were all around, and even after a few years, there would surely be people who could recognize the sisters. To disappear for so long and then suddenly reappear would inevitably arouse suspicion.
"Are you done talking? Are we going to get them their citizen IDs now?" Ellen, seeing Wise come out, stood up straight, no longer leaning against the wall. The "them" she was referring to was, of course, the twin sisters.
"Now is not the time. Let's go buy them some clothes first. And we can pick out a few for Ellen as well." Wise said as he took Ellen's hand and walked towards the shopping mall. She initially wanted to refuse, but Wise said he wasn't short on money, just like he wasn't short on energy. Hearing this, Ellen felt relieved. Wait, why do I feel relieved hearing that comparison?
But Wise didn't pay it any mind. He took the sisters and Ellen shopping for clothes. At the same time, based on his knowledge of the preferences of Belle, Anby, and the other girls, he picked out a few outfits to give to them as gifts. Of course, he also picked out a few he liked himself, but these were not for him to wear. And the clothes he chose were all from a hidden clothing store in a corner of the mall.
Ellen, seeing the clothes Wise picked out and feeling the fiery and envious gaze of the shop assistant, felt her face flush with shyness and embarrassment. In comparison, the sisters, who were just spectating, were much better off. Although they also covered their faces in shyness, they couldn't help but fantasize about themselves wearing those clothes in front of Wise. Oh no, no, let's wait until the time comes to think about that!
Finally, after finishing their shopping, Wise led Ellen out of the mall. They weren't carrying much in their hands, as Wise had put some of the heavier items into his system space. It was now approaching dusk. The glow of the setting sun painted the sky, gradually sinking in the distance. The two didn't linger and chose to return to the video store.
Upon arriving home, Wise immediately gave the clothes he had bought to Belle. She happily took them. At first, her expression was normal as she looked through them. But suddenly, she seemed to pull out an extraordinary piece of clothing. Belle reacted extremely quickly, stuffing it back into the bag, her slender white fingers tightly gripping the edge of the bag. She secretly glanced up at Wise, her face slightly red, but she didn't say anything, just giving a soft "mhm," as if to say she liked it very much.
When Ellen first looked, she wasn't much better off. Both her and Nekomata's clothes were rather special, and Wise had naturally considered this and bought them.
Afterward, Wise went to prepare dinner. Coincidentally, Anby and Nekomata also came over to visit at this time. Nicole didn't come, probably because she hadn't been introduced to the others yet. What a pity. I even bought a set of clothes specifically for her figure (large bust). Oh well, I'll save it for next time.Wise thought to himself.
Anby and Nekomata then asked for Aurelia's and Odette's names and introduced themselves. After just a brief introduction, no one told them the sisters' true identities. It wasn't that they didn't trust them, it was just difficult to explain, and also to avoid unnecessary trouble. Anby and Nekomata didn't suspect anything, just assuming Wise had found two more sisters for them from somewhere.
