[I skipped the celebratory part]

As she waited for Anya to finish measuring her uniform, Olivia hummed impatiently. She had just finished, and all she wanted to do was sleep at home. "And... 99.5" With her arms outstretched, Anya proudly beamed at Olivia, Yor, and Loid. 

"I'm two millimeters larger than I was last time!" Placing a hand on her heart, Olivia laughed as she gasped sarcastically. "You're lying!" Loid was unperturbed as he looked down at her. "I'm sure it's just an error." Anya frowned, as the tailor let out a chuckle. 

"There's no telling. Children grow up so quickly." Yor hummed in agreement, and Olivia irritated Loid by making strange noises to hint that she wanted to go home. Loid exhaled as he gently pushed Olivia's face away from him before turning to look down at Anya. "In light of this, we ought to probably make your uniform a little bigger." 

The tailor then turned her attention to Yor after rising from her position. "However, Yor, hearing that you were wed suddenly came as quite a shock. You ought to have told me when you were last here!" Yor glanced at her fake family and let out a nervous laugh. "I'm sorry about the previous day." After that, the tailor turned to Anya and Olivia, now addressing Loid. "And to think that your lovely daughters will attend Eden College, a prestigious institution. Congratulations."

 She presented them with a smile. In response, Anya gave her a big smile. "Fank you very much." Now resting on Yor's side, Olivia simply shrugged, wanting to go home. "Thanks." The tailor then regarded Loid with interest. "Might it be said that you are an Eden School alumni?" Loid maintained his composure as he shook his head in denial. "Oh, no. I went to a unimportant little school out in the country." 

The tailor's expression changed, becoming more serious at that point. "Oh, then do be careful. Parents who attended Eden and those who did not form a sort of barrier. It appears that this also contributes to bullying and discrimination among children. Additionally, there was hazing by honors students and conflict between commuters and dorm kids."

Except for Olivia, who appeared disinterested, the Forgers now stood, their faces a little bit worried. "In that regard, I understand that the number of kidnaps of commuter children is rising. It's to be expected, thinking about a large portion of the kids who can go to Eden are rich." With a tear in her eye, Anya looked at Loid, Yor, and Olivia. 

"I don't wanna go to school anymore." Olivia delicately squeezed Anya's cheek. "Don't worry too much, Anie, you know that I'll beat up anyone who tries to hurt you." Loid pulled on her ear. 

"No, you won't ." 

"Owie!"

The tailor gave Anya a regretful smile, patting her head gently. "I'm sorry, oh. I did not intend to scare you. Don't stress. Additionally, there are plenty of fun things about it too. Let's see, you've finished taking your measurements. Let's look at it this way: for additional items, you will receive two uniforms in addition to winter coats, vests, and sweaters. I'll take care of those right away because you're a regular here. Oh, you can get everything else you need from the corner store." 

With each item on the list, Loid's frown deepened. 'I didn't anticipate how much this would cost.' Loid looked down at the agitated child as they were now walking outside. "What's the matter?" Anya remained with her family as she cautiously looked around. "I am in fear that I will be kidnapped." Loid turned to look ahead. "I see. You didn't waste any time at all."

Before looking at his wife, Loid looked around the area. "Is it okay if we eat out today, Yor?" As she gently held her hands together, Yor gave a small smile. "Yes, Of course." Loid then looked over at Olivia. "And you, Via?" Olivia basically made him drag her by clinging to his arm. "Bro, all I want to do is sleep at home. Where we eat is irrelevant to me." 

Loid scrunched his face at the term. "Don't call me, bro. It's weird." Olivia huffed. "Yesn't." Before Loid could remark on her language, he felt Anya pulling on his pants. "Are there any kidnappers at the restaurant?"

The girls watched Loid answer the phone with curiosity the following day. "What? It's done already? Alright...we'll come pick up the order today. Thank you." 

Olivia returned to her anime, 'Titans on Attack,' even though she had just recently started watching it. She noticed something oddly familiar about the anime. She's not complaining, though, because the anime was fantastic. 'Has to be the uniforms. Bro this Levi guy is freaking hawt.' Anya turned to face Loid, beaming with delight.

"Is the uniforms done?" As he put down the phone, Loid nodded. "sounds like it." He exhaled a worn-out sigh. 'But today I have my briefing.' Loid apologetically glanced at Yor. "I apologize for bothering you, Yor, but could you go get it for me with Via and Anya? I received a work call."

Then, out of nowhere, they heard Olivia groaning in the distance. "Can't I just stay home? Please." Loid regarded her as he pondered in his thoughts. "For one, we always go out. Snooze is forever at home, so why can't I be home too? I want to stay in today." Lois snorted. "He's a cat."

Olivia gave him an unwavering look. "That's not the point. The point is that today you ought to let me stay in. Come on, please!" Loid groaned and rubbed his aching temple. " Okay, fine". As she watched more hot Levi, Olivia cheered and gave her cat even more cuddles. 

At the father-daughter relationship, Yor beamed. "Loid, you can depend on me." As he put on his hat, Loid nodded. "You can have dinner delivered or have Via cook, I might not get home until late." Anya waved at him joyfully while Yor hummed in understanding. "Okay." 

"Have a knees day!" 

 "Girly, what kind english is that."

"Anya's."

"Aight."
