Volume 10, 18: Chilly Women’s Clothes
“Ten thousand...... ten thousand......”
Along the way, Lilith kept muttering the words ‘ten thousand’. I was ashamed to look at this scene. What can I do on my own with this something this scary?
“Say, has your sister always been doing this unhinged muttering?”
Aliyah poke poked me in the back as she asked.
“No, I think the long period of poverty along with the strong contrast overwhelmed her brains.”
“One gold coin can buy flour for 5 years......how much can be bought with a thousand coins......hahaha......”
It seems that her line has changed, but when I listened it still scared me.
This is terrible. It seems I’ll need to be more tactful in the future. At the least......I should say that it’s 100 gold coins. Probably. If there is a next time.
“Ok big sister, stop mumbling. What kind of clothes would you like?”
“I......”
She recovered a bit and looked around.
“Ah, how did we get here? The clothes here aren’t cheap.”
“It’s......”
Right now we are in the largest commercial street in the area. Expensive......yes the shops here are the most expensive, but I don’t know where else I should go to buy things.
I hadn’t had enough time to find the black market, after all.
“Don’t worry about it. Think about it big sister. Now that I am a student in the Imperial College I will have to wear good clothing, isn’t that right?”
“Well......that’s true. I’ll get it as long as it is strong and durable.”
Lilith said that to me with a smile, and I felt a life threatening blow. Looking at everyone around me, they all had the same look that I did.
In front of such a simple person, my mind flashed back to all of the countless gold coins I had and all of the various strange things I had bought and I began to drown in a feeling of guilt.
“What’s wrong Felicia?”
Lilith asked worriedly when she saw my pained face.
“It’s nothing, it’s just that I was overwhelmed by my thoughts. All right, since neither of us are experts, we’ll have to rely on them.”
I said as I looked towards, Aliyah, Oyado and Hei Luoli.
“Of course! Of course it won’t be a problem big brother......no, elder sister! Something small like this is no problem at all!”
Oyado’s eyes turned into countless tiny stars as she joyously agreed.
Aliyah had already nodded and begun to look at the surrounding stores.
But......
While they were doing that, suddenly a pair of hands grabbed Lilith and my arms, and pulled us back.
“Hey......Hei Luoli you’re......”
Right, the hands belonged to Hei Luoli. I didn’t know she was so fast, she was able to take off before I was able to react.
“Relax and come on. Big sister will show you her favorite shop~”
Looking at Hei Luoli’s expression I could feel a cold sweat pouring down my back.
Am I...... going to do something that I will regret for the rest of my life?
—————————————Can’t get good ship, don’t want update———————————
That’s right. I did something terrifying. And it took me less than ten minutes to realize how terrifying it was.
“I’ve got to say......why did you pick out a long skirt for Lilith, but you chose a western short skirt for me?”
Looking at myself in the mirror, I had a strange feeling.
The biggest reason for that feeling was because I was a male.
Right, looking at myself in the mirror I felt my heartbeat increase.
Well, I can say that Felicia has a pretty good body, and because of the all of the exercise outside, there is both a feeling of trustworthiness and seduction from it.
This is terrible......I’m getting charmed by my own body. Isn’t that too much?

“That type, do you have any......”
“It’s good, don’t change your clothes!”
Aliyah and Oyado were nodding crazily. The culprit for all of this, Hei Luoli, had already started her shopping spree.
“That one, elder sister. Just wear that!”
“But this one looks too gaudy......”
I had mixed feelings looking at the lace on the edges of the dress.
(Tl:The lace on the side of the dress,蕾丝边 =lěisībiān)
“And what about these white stockings? They feel......”
“That is the best part of the outfit!”
The shopaholic Hei Luoli rushed over to me and said, grabbing my shoulders.
“That outfit with the white silk was something that I had always wanted to try on! If it wasn’t that feel too thin, I would have changed into it!.
“Are you trying to secretly say that I am fat?”
“Not at all, you’re just fine! It’s just that I exercise too much and haven’t developed much fat.”
I feel like some of the women in the shop had taken out notebooks to write down what she had said. What’s to remember? Isn’t it common sense?
“That’s......”
Lilith in her white dress started to speak.
“I think it really suits Felicia. It gives a...... a feeling of an idol!”
“I......Idol?”
My mouth began to twitch.
“Like the young girl who recently gave a concert at the city hall. Felicia is giving off the same feeling.”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
I started to freak out.
“Please! Just give me convenient clothes and some pants. This sort of clothing really isn’t suitable for me.”
“Maa, your sister didn’t accept it at first, and now you aren’t happy wearing it?”
“Miss Hei Luoli......”
Lilith began to blush.
Indeed, Lilith was opposed to the new clothes, but after putting it on she didn’t want to take it off again.
But that isn’t the same as my situation. Lilith didn’t want to wear the dress because it cost 1 gold. I didn’t want to wear it because......my soul is male! If I wore this sort of light clothing I would definitely become strange someday!
And this skirt......this skirt......
My lower body is feeling a cool breeze......is this really ok? It feels uncomfortable......
“That’s ......actually......”
The clerk on the side who wanted to speak but kept hesitating finally spoke up.
“This is the latest set of swordsman clothing for females. Why don’t you try it on? It...... the lower half uses black silk, which a lot of people find to be unacceptable, but it basically is in line with what you wanted.”
“Hurry up! Take it out!”
I said, slapping the table.
“O......ok.”
The clerk seemed to have been startled by me and rushed inside to get the clothes.
I looked at the others but they didn’t have any unusual expressions.
“Well......”
Aliyah said.
“In any case you should put on a skirt with the black lace. It not bad.”
You people, what the hell......
After a little bit the clerk brought the clothes out. Well, it looks kinda good.
“This outfit has two pieces. One has a leather sheath for a sword on the back, it can also be used to hang a bag for magic books. Then......does the guest want to try it on now?”
“Of course......and I’m going to buy this set right now anyways, I might find it useful later.”
“O......ok.”
The clerk naturally became happy when they were paid and I entered the dressing room with the clothes.
Just when I entered the dressing room and couldn’t see it, Aliyah and Oyado smiled at each other.
“Well done!”
“Hehehe~”
