A Day in the Life of an Ordinary Man (Part I)
The Department of Law and Politics, the most powerful, the most mysterious, and the most frightening of the thirteen departments of the Clock Tower.
In the minds of most magicians, the daily life of this school should be like this.
The dark stronghold is like an abyss, and the eerie atmosphere is like hell.
The members wore cloaks, hid their heads and tails, and discussed shady plots in low, hoarse voices.
Who should be attacked today, what kind of game should be laid tomorrow to lure who to take the bait, and the day after tomorrow a more stringent rule will be introduced, so that the entire clock tower will complain.
However, if they are allowed to see such a scene, they may have a different impression of the Law and Political Science Division.
"Did you hear that?"
"What did you hear?"
"Lord is on vacation today. β
"What? Her Majesty the Queen? haha, this joke is not funny, the Lord has not taken a holiday since he took office except Christmas and New Year. β
"I didn't believe it at first, but the Lord's leave slip had been sent to the back office through an assistant. β
"Actually, there is no need for this, she is the supreme power of the Law and Political Science Section. β
"That's right. However, everyone knows the style of the lord, and he has always led by example. β
"It's true that there's not much going on lately, and everyone is a little lazy - by the way, does Her Majesty have a reason to write about a vacation?"
"I wrote it, saying that I was going to experience the life of ordinary people. β
"Uh...... What is this?"
"Don't ask me, that's what the Lord wrote, maybe there was a reason why he had to do it. β
βββ
The reason why this had to be done was also wanted by Loreleia, who was called Her Majesty by her subordinates in awe.
"Why? Give me a reason?"
"Why do you need a reason for everything, don't you feel tired?" Dare to talk to Her Majesty like this, there is only Shinji in the entire Law and Political Affairs Section.
"I'm back, and there's still a lot to deal with. β
Loreleia was about to leave, but Shinji hurriedly stopped her.
"Don't use this kind of excuse, there's nothing going on lately, it's not bad for a day or two. And, don't forget, we made a bet before, you lost, listen to me once on inconsequential matters, you won't want to regret it. β
"Of course not, I just don't understand it. β
"It's okay if you don't understand, if you can understand, you're not Barsermero. Let's go, you've been bored in the office lately, and it's hard to come out once, just to relax and change your mood. β
Loreleia thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you to arrange." β
"Come on, put this on first. β
Shinji said and handed over a handbag, Loreleia took it and opened it to see that it was a set of clothes with no characteristics.
"Why are you wearing this? I have my own clothes. β
"I know. But my eldest miss, your status today is not a lord, not a queen, but an ordinary person. β
"What's wrong with ordinary people?"
"Ordinary people don't have magic dresses, and they don't make every piece of clothing custom-made because they can't afford such a high cost. β
"How did the clothes of ordinary people come from?"
"Change your clothes and come with me, and you'll know. β
βββ
When it comes to shopping in London, Oxford Street is undoubtedly the first place to go.
Unlike the so-called shopping streets where many places are dedicated to slaughtering tourists, this is the most frequented shopping mall for authentic London residents.
It's the main way in and out of town, and it's easy to get around. Not only are there some of the best supermarkets in Europe, but also a variety of British brand boutiques and the famous Selfridges department store has been glorious for more than 100 years β on the first business day after Christmas, the discounts are usually intimidatingly low and great things can be bought at very cheap prices.
Shinji took Loreleia to a department store called Debenham, which was the favorite department store of the British, and you could buy everything from sewing needles to home appliances and furniture, including clothes, of course.
"Well, this is it. Shinji said as he stood at the entrance of the clothing area.
"It's just a mall, I know. Loreleia disagreed, Barsermelo seems to have several branches that run the mall, "Although Barsermelo is an aristocratic person, he will still collect detailed information about other classes. β
"But it's only limited to gathering intelligence, you must know the general appearance and function of the mall, but you probably haven't been here in person, and even if you have been, you haven't picked things like those people, have you?"
Loreleia was speechless, she really had never been to such a place in person, Barthomero had a special life consultant whether she was at home or out, and there was no one who needed her to take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"Come on, Miss. Shinji held out his hand to Loreleia, "I know you're not satisfied with the clothes on your body, so let's choose the one you are happy with." β
"Good. β
It's all here, just do what you say, it's a big deal to waste a day, anyway, the leave list has been sent to the internal service department.
With this in mind, Loreleia relaxed and followed Shinji in the clothing area while walking and watching.
"This one looks good. β
"Nice to try, there are changing rooms. β
"Huh, are you going to just try it?"
"Of course, how do you know if it fits without trying? β
"I think about the width of my shoulders and the circumference of my neck......"
"Stop, Miss, buying clothes is not custom-made clothes, not so particular, they are all according to ready-made standard sizes. Forget it, let's let the pros come - miss, please see what size my friend wears, and help her get one like this and try it on. β
"Okay, wait a minute. β
β¦β¦
Five minutes later, Loreleia came out of the locker room.
"How's it going?"
Wearing a small stand-up collar jacket, she walked up to Shinji a little crampedly, and she never let anyone other than life consultants and designers see how she tried on new clothes.
Shinji looked up and down for a moment, and sighed: "I think it's good, you can see for yourself, there is a mirror here." β
Loreleia pointed to a few joints: "Hmm...... It doesn't feel very firm, and here and here it is easy to stretch. β
"It's a casual model, it's not a sports model, and even if it's a sports model, it can't withstand our level of activity, it's just the world of ordinary people - is there anything else?"
"It seems to be a little shorter here, if only it could be longer. β
"Sorry, that's not possible. The clothes sold here are all made clothes, and you can't change anything except for the hems of the trousers, which can be curled. Either buy it with a little regret, or give up looking for clothes that satisfy you, ordinary people's lives are like this, it is difficult to be perfect at the first time. β
"Compromise or insistence...... Much like the work of the Law and Political Affairs Division, I chose to persevere. β
"Let's go, hopefully find something that will really please you. β
Shinji smiled and stretched out his hand again.
ps: Let's talk a little bit here.,The next volume is the final volume.,It's over after writing this book.,The beginning is related to Loreley.,So I'll send the sugar first.γ
PS2: The FGO chapter that you are looking forward to has already been written, but not as a volume of this book, but as a new book, titled "Perseus's Chaldean Journey", so stay tuned. (By the way, of course, the protagonist can't be the third magician, if he is so directly stationed in Chaldea, then don't play, rub him a hundred and ten holy grails at the beginning, and make a large group of monsters that are more terrifying than the mad king, you fight, come on, fight and see.) As for the relationship between the protagonist and the second master, hehe. οΌ
