18 2-2 With Mr. Wendy, a commercial city of Ainshale

The garbage that you have finished eating is said to be disposed of to hand to the stall, so they have to deal with it, the water bottle decided to put away in a magic bag.

This will continue to work, and if you buy a drink at another store, they will put it in the canteen, too.

''Then which shall we begin?''

I guess I'll just go to a clothing store for now. I've been wearing these clothes for a long time, so I don't want to smell them. Oh, I'm sorry if it smells bad. I wipe my body every day just to be sure, but...

When she said that, Wendy leaned in close and put her face close to her chest to sniff it.

'It's not a problem, is it?　The herbs smell good.

'Is it because I've been making recovery potions all these days?　But I'm glad you said that. I'm not going to make you feel bad if you keep stinking up the place.

I don't mind, okay?

She says I'm the one who gives a shit.

"Well, let's go to the clothing store. I'd be happy to help you pick out some clothes if you want.

Of course. Shall we go now?

Then I take my arm to hug it tightly, and I still feel an unprecedented feeling on my elbow.

It's arms folded!

The elbows against her ample breasts and the sweet scent of womanhood wafting softly from her sides.

I get flustered, but I have to endure this one.

''Uh........''

'Will this heal you?　I have been asked by Master Yashis to do this when I go out and about?

Master Yarsis GJ!

What's the matter with you?

All right!　I'm straight, but I don't mind getting dug up by Yashis!　Cocohoryasis!

'I'm super happy. Thank you so much.

There's no way I could ever thank you for that. But..... You're kind of like a lover, aren't you?

Then I put even more force into it, and my chest is gingerly pressed against my elbow.

That's enough. I don't care if she's a bad girl who's messing with men. I don't care if I'm being tricked.

Oh, this is how middle-aged uncles who are addicted to cabaret are manufactured.

Honestly, I didn't know what to make of all the drinking and talking, but there's at least an arm fold.

This is addictive. Even if it's not true love, I don't care if it's not true love.

Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, I know. I'm so happy I'm crying. I'm going to cry.

That's how euphoric I am.

You really feel like crying from happiness.

By the way, I'm not a virgin.

I'm not a virgin, by the way. Is this all right?

Oh, come on.

Wendy smiles and says yes and pushes me further.

I'm probably already stretched out under my nose.

I may have made a shameful face. Let's be smart.

The eyes of the men around her will be full of murderous intent.

It's natural for them to be flirting with each other in this traffic.

But to the person in question, it's a trivial matter.

Many times I thought it was a rear-end tahine in the city, but I see. The effect is not as good as it could be.

It's a good idea. Well, let's get on with it, shall we?

This is the mischievous side of me. Maybe this is the real deal.

I'm glad if you showed me your bare side.

"Clothing store..... Let's go to the east area. There are good shops that offer a good balance of price and design.

You're in charge. Okay, you know what? Take your time.

I want to enjoy this feeling for as long as possible.

I'm sure I'm not the only man who thinks so.

The clothing store that Wendy brought me to was a very stylish shop where the men's and women's things are arranged separately.

There are a wide variety of cute and functional clothes that can be seen from the outside.

The master is an alchemist, so if possible, I'd like to get a holder for it.

Is the holder a thing to put a test tube or flask on?

It may be convenient to have it, but I imagined myself wearing a lot of test tubes slanted over my shoulder in my mind, like LaBeau.

Do you have a favorite color?

'Anything, as long as it's not too flashy or something. As long as it's not too unique.

Very well. Well, I'll see what I can do.

When she said that, Wendy seemed to peek at each of the clothes that were crunched and hung on the empty racks as she was interested in them.

As I was about to take a look at it, I approached the owner of the store as he beckoned to me.

"Brother, brother, you have a very beautiful woman with you!

'Right?　I agree.

Yes, sir. I have good news for that brother!　I have three brooches here that I think would look good on that person. How about buying one as a gift?

The small box that popped open contained three neatly arranged brooches.

One was a simple brooch with a large black gemstone on it.

Upon appraisal, it seemed to be a piece of polished obsidian with a silver rim.

The second is a slightly smaller brooch with a bright red gemstone and gold decoration.

In this one, the gemstone is a garnet and the decoration is gold plated.

These two are priced at 100,000 NOK each.

The last one is a pale pink transparent gemstone with silver decorations and only one different sparkle.

A certificate of authenticity shows that it is made of rose quartz, which is decorated with platinum.

As expected, this one is expensive, with a price tag of 300,000 Nol.

How do you like it?　They're all the best I've ever made!

This guy is grinning. I know I was obviously chosen.

But naturally, my gaze was glued to it.

It certainly looks good on me.

The price is not a problem.

Good. Let's buy it.

"Quick decision!　You're surprisingly generous with your customers for not even haggling!

Honestly, a gift of 300,000 knolls might be heavy, but I just thought this color scheme would fit the bill.

If I don't accept it, I'll use it as an exercise in design.

'It's not good to haggle over a gift for a woman, you know. Well, she's picking out the clothes for me now. I'm wondering if I should patronize her depending on how she responds.

'Wow. You're not just playing games with me after you've said something nice for a woman, are you? Alright, I'm going to take advantage of that challenge!

You are so easy.... Me too, but I think I'm being too honest.

Then I'll wrap it up as a gift, so I'll give it to you casually later.

Okay. I'm a connoisseur, so try not to pass it off as a fake.

'Haha. I wouldn't do that to a customer. I wouldn't do that to a customer!

He is a very easy to get involved with.

I can see that he has the luxury of being able to joke back to the seriousness of the joke.

''That master?　May I try it on?

Yeah. Thank you for choosing me.

A pile of clothes hung on the empty rack.

It's amazing how many clothes that couldn't be hung up were placed on top.

It's a bit much, but there were a lot of clothes that looked good on you, so I separated them into different types. I think it won't take that long to eliminate the types of clothes that you don't like, but...

Oh, right. Yeah, I see. Thank you. I'll see you later.

Apparently, I've got it all sorted out. Good. I thought I was going to wear them all.

'Well, let's start with these functional clothes. It looks easy to use, and it already has a holder with a belt and a set of holders. I think the design is suitable for work as well, so how about for work?

I took the clothes that were handed to me and walked into the changing room.

I decided on four clothes that are functional and good for me to look at as well as to listen to my opinion while I dress up as a doll.

I'll be wearing a simple but well-designed piece of clothing that I particularly like and that emphasizes functionality.

I'm sure I'll be wearing this one a lot on a regular basis.

'Well, I'm going to go pay the bill then,'

Yes, have a good day.

With that, Wendy went to look at the clothes again. Men's clothes.

This is a chance and a bill for 330,000 knolls, including the brooch, and casually put the wrapped box in a magic bag.

The size of the brooch seems a bit large for a brooch, but I don't think I'll be a bad imitator.

I'm sure you're done with your bill. This dress looked good too.

Next time. Next time. I'll try it on next time I come back.

'Yes. I'll come back with you.

I hope that day comes.........

'Yes.......... I hope that happens.

Yes. We'd love to come back.

My arms are squeezed as tightly as before.

I'm starting to feel like my jar is already obvious.

I guess it's easy to understand.

Where are you going next?

What's next ... the tool shop?　I was looking for something interesting to do. I just need something useful that I can use on a daily basis.

Toolmaker. Let's go to the south section then.

Wendy walks over to pull her arms around me in a hug.

I can't help but feel that I'm somehow stuck in Yashis' ruse.

If she's this good, she won't be unsold by the time I can buy her.

But even if it's a thin possibility, I thought I'd give it my best shot.

Once we returned to the central square, we headed to the tool shop in the south area where the alchemist's guild is located, and along the way, Wendy stayed attached to me and asked me various questions.

'Is your master a drifter?'

'Yes. Did you ask Yersis about it?

No. I just had a feeling.

A hunch.

Aren't many people intuitive?

'I've heard that drifters are often violent, but not your master.

I don't know, okay?

The two drifters Hayato told me about have become evil and corrupt, and maybe they're prone to suddenly gaining power and getting carried away.

It's not hard to understand, but we come from a place where ethics are stronger than this world, so we shouldn't remove that from our minds.

''Hayato and others are kind and nice, though.

Speaking of Hayato-sama, is it Count Hayato?

Yeah, yeah. I was saved from being attacked by a big caterpillar by Hayato. Hayato has asked me to do some smelting, so I'm doing my best to level up.

'I see. Then I should be grateful to Hayato-sama. It's thanks to you that I was able to meet your master.

I guess so. I should be grateful to Hayato. It's because of him that I'm experiencing such a happy feeling right now.

My face was getting hot after I said it.

Embarrassing!

But when Wendy tightened her arms around the hug, she looked up at him and chuckled, then flushed and shook her arms a bit, embarrassed.

Aww. It's so cute.........

Don't think there's a backstory or anything.

If there's a future you want to believe in, believe in that future.

When it doesn't turn out the way you want it to, scream and cry out loud.

I think this is the way to make life less boring.

'What do you buy in the tool shop?'

We walked for a little while and were silent to each other until we passed through the central square, but Wendy got the ball rolling.

'I was just wondering if you had anything good for everyday use, or if there was anything else I could use for alchemy.

You're a hard worker, aren't you?

Not really. I'd rather not work the rest of my life and live in peace if I could.

Well, that's the greatest of luxuries.

'Right. Well, I think of it as a primer for that now, so I can do my best.

That's good. I want to follow that goal.

Oh. Is Wendy as lazy as I thought she was?

'No, no. I'm doing my best for my master.

Wendy says, sounding flustered.

Yeah. You're cute. I may have only said pretty today.

The more you talk to me, the more my initial image of you as beautiful changes to cute, and I don't mind either.

"Okay. Well, I guess I'll just have to work on getting Wendy a new one.

Yes, sir. I've been waiting for you.

Always.....

Wendy would be able to pull it off.

But when you say so, I guess I can do my best.

I guess we still have too long to go, though.
