The Scards: Start!
Chapter 28: Kiranai and Joshua

Kirania stared at the scene from the car window with a frown then turned her head towards the handsome man who was busy driving next to her curiously and vigilantly. "Uncle, where are we going?" Kirania asked when she found out that her environment was different from the area where she lived.

"Looking at you who looked glum earlier, it looks like you have a problem. So I'm gonna take you somewhere." Joshua replied without losing his focus.

"But I haven't changed my clothes and haven't asked papa for permission. You didn't take me to some weird place, did you?"

"Don't worry. I've asked permission with that ice block." Then Kirania's phone shook, a message came in from her father making her soul drift instantly.

"Do you remember the sparing time agreement?" Kirania asked with a sparkling look.

"of course. I'll keep to all my favorite nephew's wishes." Joshua replied casually which instantly made Kirania's mood improve instantly.

"Thank you, Uncle! Love you!" Pekik Kirania was happy with a sly grin on her face.

'Let's get your wallet down, nyahahaha...' The mind in the heart.

Kirania follows Joshua in front of her who takes her to a beauty salon making the girl frown.

"Uncle, why are we here?" Kirania asked curiously making Joshua stop his steps and look at the girl warmly.

"You'll know later. Come on."

They immediately entered the beauty salon and immediately greeted by one of the employees there with red blushing cheeks.

"Good day and welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Can we help you?" Sweep friendly.

Joshua pushed Kirania towards the employee and said, "Please beautify her. Change the appearance of the feathers with your best care." Then blinking one of his eyes at Kirania made the girl thud.

"Good, Sir. You can wait there. Miss, please follow me." Say the employee in a friendly tone. Kirania followed the officer and stared intently at Joshua. But casually Joshua shook his hand omens expel while smiling happily making Kirania follow the employee with shaky steps.

Joshua waited for Kirania in the waiting room while observing around. Feeling Kirania will be long on the rug, the man immediately got up from there and went to a boutique located across from the salon to buy a piece of clothing for his nephew.

"Welcome to our shop, sir." Greet a salesman as soon as Joshua walked into the store. Joshua simply nodded and immediately headed towards the women's clothing stand and took a look.

"Can you find 1 set of 15-year-old girl clothes? He's a little tomboyish and doesn't like bright colors." Joshua said politely.

"Good, Sir. Please wait a minute." The salesman soon passed looking for clothes and soon he came with a few pieces of clothing towards Joshua.

Joshua cradled the clothes with a frowning forehead. Skirts and super-shorts, some low-breasted clothing or lack of material made the man stare at the horror of the collection of clothes. Maybe Albert will mutilate her if buy Kirania clothes less material considering the man was so proctective on Kirania.

"This outfit is trending right now, sir." Said the salesman timidly.

"Is there anything else?"

"There, Sir. Let's follow me." Joshua followed the saleswoman while glancing at some of the clothes on display there.

They stopped at a teenage clothing stand. Joshua immediately chose the original clothes and handed them to the salesman and they rushed to the cashier.

After paying, Joshua immediately returned to the salon where Kirania was at the permak. He sat on the sofa ignoring the adoring gazes of some of the female visitors who were in that place.

Kirania looked at herself in the mirror with a look of disbelief. Now he looks completely different, barely even recognising himself.

Glowing yellow skin, bright blue ombre black hair a boat wavy with oval face, well-groomed face with bright sparkling dark blue eyes, natural pink lips, very different from her previous self.

"Well, you're really very pretty, miss." Praise the salon employees with amazement.

"Thank you."

Kirania immediately got out of there and found her uncle sleeping on the sofa with a paper bag on his lap, it seemed like he had fallen asleep because he was waiting for her.

Kirania immediately approached Joshua and poked the man's face with her index finger.

"Uncle... Uncle..."

"Ah, are you done?" Joshua rubbed his eyes that felt a bit. As if remembering something, Joshua handed a paper bag to Kirania. The girl accepted it with a frown.

"Change your clothes. I bought it for you. I hope that dress suits you."

"Aren't we going straight home?" Kirania's question tilted her head making Joshua anxious and immediately pinched the girl's cheek to make her owner grimace in pain. Joshua immediately took off his hand and smirked without sin.

"Aren't you going out with your handsome uncle?" Joshua asked while looking at him with a pleading gaze like a dog making Kirania unbearable.

"All right, Uncle." Then Kirania got up from there and changed her clothes. Joshua immediately headed to the cashier and paid his bills and waited outside the salon.

Before long Kirania came out wearing a dark blue shirt with light blue lines, black sepaha shorts combined with black sneakers. The girl immediately walked over to Joshua who was busy looking around her warily.

"Uncle's taste isn't bad either." Kirania's words made the man turn towards her.

"It seems to suit you. What if we have lunch first? You haven't eaten, have you?"

"Eat it first, Uncle. How do we get around first?" Kirania's proposal was immediately approved by Joshua without suspicion.

"All right."

⚛️⚛️⚛️⚛️

Joshua stared at the horror towards Kirania. How not, the girl carrying several jumbo-sized snacks of various variants made her grimace. Not to mention himself and the girl carrying some large paper bags that do not know what the contents are.

"Thank you Uncle." Cheerful saith.

"You robbed me, boy." Angry Sung. His arm felt numb due to several large paper bags that were wrung spoiled on his arm.

"I didn't rob you, my dear Uncle~" The successful temptation of Kirania made Joshua anxious to snap the girl's head.

"We'd better put this loot in the trunk of the car and then we'll get some food." Joshua's proposal was immediately responded to with enthusiasm.

"Of course, Uncle. Next time we make another bet, ya~" Kirania said with a sweet smile.

Joshua smiled sweetly, but inwardly he cried and cursed his nephew in annoyance.

'Based on the accursed boy! Huhuhoo...My pay date is still long!'

After putting the groceries in the trunk of the car, they immediately went to a food stall located not far from there.

They entered the store and chose to sit in a corner directly opposite the highway. The atmosphere this afternoon looked different, especially when seeing a group of people in special uniforms with firearms among the crowd made Kirania frown. He is still traumatized by the assault by the gunman in a special uniform.

"Uncle, why is there a group of people dressed specifically with firearms hanging around?" Kirania asked curiously.

As he was about to answer, a servant approached them while handing them a menu book. Joshua immediately ordered food and drinks for them. After the waiter recorded the order and left, Joshua answered Kirania's question seriously.

"The mayor's election will be held in 3 months. Then the rulers are competing to control this city and the state of this city is heating up. You know what that means, right?"

"The competition between businessmen and rulers, huh?"

"Absolutely. The common people assume they are protecting the city as it is ahead of the elections. The real situation is more dangerous than the reported."

Joshua and Kirania looked at each other. The man's expression suddenly turned serious and worried. It was obvious that Joshua was looking at Kirania anxiously. "Kirania, you must be careful and do not easily believe in the kindness of strangers who approach you. He's a man and he's being very nice to you. If Albert and I and Ellios are being nice to you, it's only natural that we love you as a family. If it's a foreign man, you have to be vigilant. I'm advising you because I'm a man."

"Surely because there's a certain intent, right?" Guess Kirania's on target.

"really. So you don't just accept the kindness of people you just met, even though you like it. You have to investigate them first before receiving their kindness."

"Thank you for advising me, Uncle."

"I'm sorry for over-touching you. I hope you're not mad."

Kirania smiled sincerely and looked at Joshua with a haru look.

"I should thank those of you who love me so much. This Uncle's advice I remember well."
