Chapter 10: Shopping with cute girls
“Master, where are we going?”
“As long as I am with Masatsugu-sama I am fine anywhere.”
“Shii is also fine anywhere as long as she is with Masatsugu-san”
I walked side by side with Erin and Lucia clinging to each side and Shii-chan clinging on my neck.
Good grief, they are making it hard for me to walk. I softly advised them.
“I cannot walk if you cling so closely to me. Is it fine if you leave away a bit?”
But it had the opposite effect.
“But if we do that, it will be bad if I lose sight of you!”
She said that and with a Kyuu sound she clinged to my right arm even harder.
“I also like being near Masatsugu-sama the most!”
Erin also tightened her hold on my left arm.
“Am I heavy? I’ll be come semi-ghost so that weight will decrease”
With Shii saying that she increasingly became more glued to my back.
Yup, it has become troublesome. I can walk while enduring it but the eyes from the surrounding men are scary. They’ve misunderstood they aren’t anything like my girlfriends. It’s true that I like them a bit. It’s just that how much beautiful they are. Sigh, please stop looking at me with envious eyes. You’re misunderstanding.
“Look, we are receiving envy from the surroundings. You girls are embarrassed, right? Moresoever if we walk like this they’ll misunderstand that you girls are my women. That’s why it’s fine if you seperate away for a bit?”
I tried once more to dissuade them gently.
But they had no intention of separating rather they clung even more.
“Ehehe. Is that how we are? I look like Master’s woman?”
Lucia began to press her forehead on my arm and grind it.
“It’s like I’ve been officially recognized. I already belong to Masatsugu-sama.”
Erin said something which I didn’t properly understand and began rubbing my arm with her cheek.
“Shii also has no problems with being Masatsugu-san’s woman.”
Shii said that and brought her cheeks sticking close to mine.
If they won’t do it even if saying so much then there’s no helping it. The surrounding views hurt but I’ll have to endure it.
“Oh well, it’s fine. I was thinking that today we should buy clothes. Choose whatever you guys like I’ll buy all of it. Aah, it’s here.”
While having such conversation we went towards a cloth store in corner of the town.
“Master, did we enter into the wrong shop? For some reason all of the clothes is highely expensive? Ah, I see, Master has come here to buy clothes right?”
“No, no, what are you talking about. I decided to come here to buy clothes for you girls. It’s fine to pick any clothes you like.”
“Seriously!? There’s no reason for us to wear such nice clothes!”
“That’s right, Masatsugu-sama. There’s no need to use money for us who are orphans.”
“Shii is fine with her usual wear.”
“No, no it would be a waste for you guys not wear them considering you are all beautiful. Just choose any you like. There’s no problem if you pick more than 1 aswell.”
“He said “I’m cute”. Is it alright really for us? It’s as if I’m dreaming.”
“Even when I lived as a princess I did not live in extravagance.”
“Despite, Shii being fine as he is currently?”
“I’m saying it’s fine. Just pick something already.”
Finally believing in what I said the girls went into the interior of the store to search for clothes they like. When their eyes changed, I thought they are really girls.
“Excuse me, customer but…”
As I was watching the girls, the old man shop manager came to them and started talking.
Hmhm, it’s really a fairly high-quality shop. By calling out perhaps he assumed something. He is probably worried about them having money.
Finally when the girls started choosing the clothes, this boorish guy came.
“Don’t say impolite things to customers. Look!”
I said that and with my thump I flicked the forehead of the shop manager.
“Guah, what are you doin…?”
The old man was and alternated looks between the something white which fell on floor and me.
Apparently he couldn’t believe that I would have something like that.
“No, is it real… This is white coin?”
“What is it? Can you not talk properly?”
At my words he stood at attention and with great vigor he bowed his head.
“I’m deeply sorry! I didn’t think that you customers would be owners of white coins!”
“Huh, is that it only? You made such a fuss for such a simple thing.”
At my words the old man’s face colour changed to pale and prostrated on the ground and apologizing.
“I’m really sorry! I’ve done such an impolite thing! Please find it in your heart to forgive me!”
“I don’t really need your apology. I personally don’t care, it’s just that I couldn’t forgive your discrimination against poor people. I’ll forgive you this time. You should change your attitude towards the customer from now.”
“Y-Yes, thank you for forgiving me.”
He apologized while on the verge of tears.
While I was conversing with the good-for-nuffin came Lucia with her chosen clothes.
“Ehm, how are these? I wish to know which ones Master likes best.”
She was slightly embarrassed while saying that and was holding a white blouse and a dark one.
“You have nothing to worry about my tastes. You should pick whatever you like.”
But, Lucia began shaking her head at my words.
“Nay, then there would be no point in asking. I want to display clothes to the partner I decided *mumble*.”
“I don’t understand well but if you say it like that then wouldn’t the white bring out the glow from your chestnut colour hair?”
Honestly I think that she is so terrifyingly beautiful that she is fine anything.
“Is, is that so? Then white it is! Ehehe”
She instantly brightened up and held the white blouse as if it was a treasure.
“Ehm, etto, Masatsugu-sama I also brought clothes…”
She was holding a green and red hoods that resembled that of which was worn by nobility.
“You too? What is it? I thought I said to choose clothes by yourself?”
“No, not exactly… I want to wear the clothes Masatsugu-sama that likes so that you’ll like me even more!”
“I don’t understand well, but wouldn’t the green suit you well? Being an elf the green definitely matches you and it’s cute.”
At my words Erin’s face became red and was grinning.
“Cute! Ehehehe, the green one it is !”
The young girl was rubbing her cheeks on the green one.
“Please choose for Shii aswell!”
Shii was saying that while holding yellow and light blue western styled shrine maiden outfit.
“Why do I have to choose…”
“Hurry, hurry!”
“Hm, for Shii it’s light blue. I think it matches well with the colour of your pupils and hair.”
“Really? Uhehe”
Shii-chan’s face became really sloppy and immediately wore the light blue shrine maiden outfit. Oi, you’re happy too much. We haven’t paid for it yet.
At the end I chose appropriate clothes for myself and with it the shopping ended. Sigh, attending peerless beautiful girls when they are shopping can wore you out.
We got out of the shop and went towards home.
In that moment a voice from behind us was calling for me.
