Yes. Since Velvet wanted to eat it that badly, she just needed to buy it!
"Velvet, are you ready?" EunAh asked.
"Kyahang-! Buy me- Buy me! Quadrupedal chicken!"
"If there's anything else you want, tell me. I'll buy it." EunAhs poverty vanishing, combined with Velvets curiosity, was a force to behold.
"Woah! Then, I also want to eat this!"
"Alright, let's order it!"
"Really?! Then this, this, and that as well?"
"Order it all!"
EunAh and Velvet ordered enough food to feed the entire club.
"I've just ordered a few dishes That's all" EunAh had bought it all under the reasoning that it was just food, but she ended up spending a considerable amount of money.
"Kyahang! Cards are great, but why didn't Mommy EunAh want to use such a great thing?"
EunAh coughed at Velvet's innocent question. "Ehem That's because I wanted to show my family that I could live without the help of a card."
Velvet nodded and looked up at her. In my eyes, Mommy EunAh is already an amazing person!"
EunAh chuckled and asked, "Really? Why?"
"Although not using the card was important for you, Mommy EunAh, you did it for me!" Where had she learned to speak like that? She sometimes sounded so serious. "As Mommy Sumire said! A person whos able to care for others is kind and strong! Thats why youre already impressive enough, Mommy EunAh!
EunAhs cheeks turned red at the little dragon's logical and well-spoken speech. "Forget about that It isn't a big deal."
Velvet gave her a cautious look and asked, "Mommy EunAh, can I ask for something else?"
"Huh? What?"
Velvet kept glancing at her and bowing her head as if bringing it up was a sin. "No, it's just that I saw on the Pocket that there is a piece of clothing called a raincoat. With it, you can even play outside on rainy days Of course, I dont have one"
EunAh looked at the lonely-looking dragon girl and fell into thought. 'Now that I think about it, it's been a rainy season, right?' She pictured Velvet, sad and unable to go outside because she didnt have a raincoat. The girl often roamed the schools grounds on calm days, but wouldnt it be a shame if she was stuck inside just because she didnt have a raincoat?
'It isn't like the raincoat is expensive' EunAh made her decision and ordered a raincoat for the dragon girl through her Pocket.
"I like yellow Velvet said, because it's safe and not dangerous. I think the duck-shaped one is the cutest" Of course, she was trying to appeal to her tastes.
EunAh kneeled to look Velvet in the eye and said,. "There's no need to feel sad. I've ordered the raincoat. It wasnt that expensive, after all You can ask for anything you want."
"K-kyahang Mommy EunAh!" It was a touching melodrama, but telling a dragon they could have whatever they wanted was reckless. They were known for their greed, after all, and collecting items and treasures was an instinctive behavior.
"R-really? Velvet asked. Uhm Not just food, but anything else is okay?"
EunAh gave an exasperated sigh. "You shouldn't worry about money at your age. You can spend it now and repay it later. Just tell me."
Encouraged by EunAh's kind tone, Velvet finally mustered her courage. "K-kyahang! R-really? Then" She rummaged through a pile of toys and pulled out a small notebook before pointing to something written in a densely-packed list. "I want this!"
[Beginner's fishing set for children! - $260 USD.]
"Why this?" EunAh asked. Wanting a raincoat due to the long rainy season made sense, but why a fishing set? EunAh gave her a puzzled look.
"I saw it in the Pocket! With this, I can catch lots of delicious fish in that lake!" Velvet proudly declared her intention to catch fish with the fishing rod.
'She must be bored when shes alone, so maybe having a hobby is good?'
Squeeze
EunAh went ahead and bought the mysterious fishing set, and Velvet's eyes shone with emotion. EunAh felt a strange urge to give her more. "Is this all you want? You can have more."
That much money was nothing. Why should she concern herself with something like pride when Velvet wanted something? "It's okay. Don't worry."
Velvet brought out a list of items that Sumire wanted. "Really? Then I also wrote down the things that Mommy Sumire wanted to have!"
EunAh nodded. "Show me." No expense was too great for Sumire. She always took care of the meals and worked hard, after all.

After spending a considerable amount of time shopping, Velvet and EunAh finally finished.
Velvet ate the chicken shed been craving and hummed. "Velvet's happy. A truly happy dragon"
WHOOM
Amy had silently witnessed the entire scene from a massage chair and thought to herself, 'Dragons are so scary~ To think she'd turn EunAh into such a fool.'

The Shinsung branch manager and EunAh's mother, Kim YunHa, were reviewing important files that summarized their finances for the quarter.
"Even domestically, sales have significantly increased in certain regions"
"It must be because the nation is so big. Cultural differences are probably what caused the variance."
"You're saying it isn't a marketing issue, right? Good. I have a few more questions, but I'll ask them as we go along."
Despite being executives at the same level, there was a clear difference in authority. While they were working, Lee SuHyun knocked on the door and cautiously entered the office.
"What's the matter?" YunHa asked.
"You see" SuHyun whispered something in her ear that the others probably shouldnt hear.
"We'll have to stop the review here," YunHa abruptly said as she stood from her seat. Just what had she been told?
* * *
Despite the urgency of the meeting, laughter filled the conference room.
"I was worried that the message hadn't been delivered, but it looks like things worked out."
Kim JunHyuk and Kim SungHan smiled.
"Haha, I told you she wouldn't last a week."
"Phew, that's great. I was worried she'd push herself too much but isn't our EunAh amazing? To think she'd last an entire week without using her card." YunHa's face was beaming with pride. It seemed that she truly believed that going a week without using the card was an incredible feat.
Kim JunHyuk also shared that happiness. "The previous record was three days and 12 hours, so this is a new milestone."
Forgetting his dignity, Kim SeokHan entered the conference room and laughed heartily upon seeing his family. "Hahaha! I heard what happened! Our EunAh used her card, didn't she?! Of course! Its her, after all!" He looked around at the others. "Did you check what EunAh bought with the card?"
"Fufu, we were just about to check that, father. Let's see" YunHa brought up a list of card transactions on her Pocket.
"About a thousand dollars? It seems EunAh didn't spend that much, but this purchase history is a bit" JunHyuk's expression became gradually more puzzled as he reviewed the list. "First of all, uhm two chickens? Twelve donuts and an ice cream cake. Pork cutlet? What the?" JunHyuk looked around in confusion.
"Was EunAh hungry?" SungHan asked.
Even if she was hungry, this isn't right." YunHa scrolled down further, but the rest of the purchase list was even more baffling.
[Advanced baking cooking set! - $59 USD]
[Cherry blossom dish set, 4 types - $152 USD]
[Bravo stainless distiller - $132 USD]
[Premium table spoon set for 10 people - $320 USD]
What was up with all the sudden purchases of kitchenware?
"Is our EunAh setting up a new household?" YunHa said as a sort of half-joke.
Joke or not, SeokHan ground his teeth and denied it. "No! I absolutely refuse to let that happen"
However, the purchases listed next were even more ridiculous.
[Children's Duck Raincoat (Yellow) - $300 USD]
SeongHan thought of EunAh wearing the raincoat and sighed. "Eh" The unbelievable amount of food EunAh supposedly ate, the kitchenware sets for a new household or perhaps housewarming gifts, and then a random, yellow coat There was still one more shocking item left.
[Beginner's fishing set for children! - USD 260.]
EunAh hated places with lots of moisture, so why would she buy a fishing set?
"Ah" Unable to believe the purchase history any longer, JunHyuk finally spoke his mind. "I don't think EunAh bought these"
YunHa nodded in agreement. "We need to report this. It's clear that someone else found and used it."
She simply couldnt believe her daughter would buy such things.
