As for Lilly, she returned to her room to see that the spirits had returned, all of them lying by the window.
They had been watching the show over here!
The weakling spirit came up to Lilly at once, speaking in a gentle voice. "You're back, Darling."
Lilly, "Yeah, I saw the bad guys you punished! Took all their teeth out, awesome~"
The weakling looked at Lilly adoringly. "Darling. These might be bad guys we're dealing with, but punishments have their limits. We can't find joy in them."
Lilly nodded. "I've got it!"
The harem spirit muttered: How kind of you, I didn't hear you say any of that when you were ripping out people's teeth…
The unlucky ghost punched the air excitedly. "Lilly, weren't we great? Do we get a reward? Ho ho…"
Lilly felt around in her pockets. "Oh boy, I didn't get any candy this time."
Her grandma never let her buy any candy, and it was her dad who snuck her some every time.
The unlucky ghost's eyes flashed with disappointment, but said immediately, "That's alright! You can make it up next time!"
The weakling spirit glanced at him. "Do you have any shame, asking for candy from a kid? Don't you listen to him, Darling. It's fine, with or without the candy."
It wasn't like they were doing this for the candy anyways.
Lilly hopped off the bed all of a sudden, walking up to her little dresser and pulling the drawers open. She felt around, emerging with a hidden piece of candy in her hand.
She then crawled under the bed, and emerged with another piece.
Then she looked in her wardrobe, and took out yet another piece from the pocket of one of her jackets.
The ghosts: …
Uhh. People usually stored loose change like this, but she was hiding candy…
Lilly stared at the candy in her hands. There were three… there was one more.
She racked her brains with all her might for a while, before running out to the balcony and into Polly's rainforest room, taking out one last piece of candy hidden among the bushes.
"Ta daa~" Lilly clutched the candies in her hand happily. "For you guys!"
Her spirits were not going to go without their candy!
The spirits stopped short, their long-cold hearts warming up all of a sudden.
How kind..
The Mccarthy family had only referred to them as slaves in the mountains.
They had literally given their souls to Lilly, and other people probably did see them as slaves…
They had once committed terrible sins, and had never imagined that a little child would treat them with such a sincere heart one day.
The weakling spirit hugged Lilly from behind. "Thank you, Darling…"
Lilly's eyes turned into crescents, beaming widely. There seemed to be an entire universe in her smile, breathtaking and beautiful.
She said joyously, "That's no problem!"
The harem spirit felt as if she was about to tear up. She was the first to take a piece of candy, declaring, "I want this pink one!"
