After I took Lu to the supermarket, she instantly grasped what "supermarket" meant—no need for much explanation. It was simply a super market.
In the world where Amelia and Lu originally came from, only small markets and slightly larger general stores existed. Massive supermarkets like this one were rare—found only in the Imperial Capitals of major nations. Smaller cities had nothing like this; vendors' markets dominated instead.
When I led Lu inside, she was slightly stunned. For the rest of our time there, she poured her attention into the dazzling array of goods.
Picking daily necessities went quickly. Soon, I walked out carrying bags of new items, with Lu trailing behind. Her expression was nuanced, as if her brain couldn't process the flood of new things all at once.
Outside, I glanced at my loaded hands and decided to take Lu home first to put everything away.
Chixun followed us back too. But as agreed earlier, I only planned to go out with Lu tonight. So I politely declined Chixun's dinner invitation.
"Whew~ Finally alone with Amelia!"
After dropping off the bags at home, I headed out again with Lu. With Chixun gone, Lu suddenly jumped from behind me, wrapped her arms around my waist, and hung on my back.
"Alright, come down. It's hard to walk like this."
I patted her clinging hands after indulging her briefly. Lu obediently let go, her face bright with joy, spinning happily around me.
"Okay, stop spinning. You're making me dizzy... By the way, my little princess, how was today's haul?"
I laughed as she twirled beside me.
Lu stopped immediately and fell into step with me. Hearing my question, she shook her head slightly, her eyes sparkling with interest. "I got so much! This world is beyond my imagination!"
"The industry here is incredible! Its progress speed is mind-blowing. If I recall right, this place was barren a thousand years ago... And humans control electricity so precisely—maybe we should try that back home? If the Demon Realm had this world's production capacity, we'd never fear our enemies again!"
"No, Lu, that's a bit wishful thinking," I said, realizing she'd overlooked crucial conditions. "This world's tech didn't form overnight; countless causes and effects built it. But for electricity—we might experiment when we return. Still, don't expect big changes soon."
