Chapter Seventy-Seven: Waves

Of course, this statement is a joke, Xia Ran did not use illusions, nor did he only use illusions to hide his presence.

The reason why Saber attracts so much attention is because her appearance is too handsome, and the contrast between such a beautiful girl dressed in men's clothes naturally attracts the attention of others.

Speaking of which, this world is really unfair, everyone seems to think that there is nothing for men's beauties, and the inclusiveness is terrible, even if a girl wears men's clothing, and it is obvious that it can be seen at a glance, it will not attract too much harsh criticism......

But if it's a women's clothing boss, it's two extremes -

Either it's more beautiful than a girl, so people don't know it's a women's clothing boss at all, if a man wears women's clothing, and it's obviously exposed, making everyone feel spicy to the eyes, then it will definitely attract a lot of harsh and discriminatory eyes.

However, Xia Ran mainly thinks that Saber's experience is not bad, firstly, it helps her realize more deeply that this is no longer the world she used to be familiar with, and secondly, it helps her realize that girls should be like girls.

It was her previous thing to be used to wearing men's clothes, and it was also because she was a king at the time, and out of the need to govern the country and fight for the name of justice, she had to disguise her gender.

After all, no matter how you say it at that time, it was also the ancient feudal era, and some things could only be viewed according to the mainstream concepts at that time, and people did not look at things from such an enlightened perspective as they do today. And even today there is still gender discrimination, which is really nothing to say.

To save a war-torn country, you need an ideal king, and by the king's side, you need a noble and virtuous queen.

This was the ideal form of rule of the people of ancient Britain at that time, which simply and clearly meant that there should be a perfect king, a male ruler, and a virtuous queen, so that this is the real ideal model.

The king must be male, and the queen must be female, everyone thinks that this is the right thing, and they can't accept the appearance of Si Chen.

It's not at all like the current Great Britain, where everyone is used to the fact that the king is a woman, and they don't think there's anything wrong with it.

Of course, it is not okay not to take it for granted, the crown prince has waited for 70 years, and Her Majesty has made everyone feel that when it comes to England, it is a "queen" and not a "king", so what can be the problem?

Well, maybe the only problem is the bitter prince......

Anyway, that's it, so Xia Ran didn't help Artoria hide it, because he felt that there was no need at all, so it would be fine.

……

……

The boundless clear clear sky, the scorching sun is baking every inch of air, so that people can fully feel the enthusiasm of summer.

Today will also be a hot day.

Raising his hand and putting it on his forehead, squinting at the cloudless clear sky in the sky, Xia Ran felt a little disobedient, after all, in the previous mission world, it was still the winter of 1994, and the time was close to the end of November, and it was about to reach December.

Even on the last night, the first heavy snow fell in Fuyuki City......

As a result, it was only the second day, and he had to deal with the scorching heat of the Midnight in the Overworld......

Although neither the cold nor the heat had any effect on him, the feeling of confusion made him feel very uncomfortable.

Only those who have really experienced it can know that this is really much more troublesome than the experience of jet lag.

Walk across the pedestrian bridge, on the other side is the gate of the shopping center, Xia Ran has only been here before, so there is still an impression of this place, at least the route will not be mistaken. Saber, on the other hand, was very interested in everything, and the prosperity and peace she had basically never seen before.

She couldn't help but feel a little longing, because until now she hadn't given up her wish, but had regained her confidence, so she was subconsciously thinking that if her wish came true, Camelot's ending would eventually change, then-

What kind of state would it be in that world line?

Is it as if you are asleep and ushered in the end? Or is it because of the power that this magician in front of him may control at that time, so that the mystery of that era has not declined, but has been intercepted forever?

Because from the perspective of the occult, the end of the existence of the Kingdom of Camelot, or the end of the reign of King Arthur, is a historical node that represents the complete demise of the last breath of the gods.

If this history is changed, then mysticism continues to rule the world, and Camelot becomes a perpetual mad empire...... It doesn't seem impossible.

It's just that Saber didn't expect that if it really came to that time, it would be a bad newsperson.

"Master, this is the ...... People of your time, a place that specializes in selling clothes? ”

Standing still in front of the gate, the knight girl had learned to ignore the gaze of the people around her, and she was looking up at the huge building in front of her, and let out a heartfelt exclamation of astonishment.

"I already feel mentally prepared, but ...... Isn't that an exaggeration? It feels like it's almost the same as the palace complex. ”

The scale of this complex in front of her is beyond imagination, and it turns out that it is just a place dedicated to selling clothes?! With an area of at least 100,000 square meters, is it true that modern people are so extravagant and wasteful?

- Or do they have a big market demand for clothes?!

"This is not enough, this is a kind of commercial complex, which usually contains dozens or even hundreds of service places, covering large comprehensive supermarkets, specialty stores, specialty stores, etc., and even special parking lots, which is why it seems so large......"

Xia Ran casually explained, he didn't think there was anything in this shopping mall, probably the palace complex in his concept, which was based on the scale of the "Forbidden City".

"In addition, Chiba is not a small city in a remote area like Fuyuki, but an important city in the Tokyo metropolitan area, which is larger than the area of Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture combined, and it is naturally the largest shopping center in the city......

And he remembered that this form of business organization seemed to have begun to rise in the fifties of the last century.

However, after Artoria was summoned, she probably didn't have time to spend on these unnecessary aspects.

After all, the Ainci Belen family is a real local tyrant, and if they want to prepare some "common people's clothes" for disguise, this kind of thing is really too simple, and it is far from the extent that you need to go to the mall to buy it yourself.

After that, Saber probably rushed directly to the battlefield, but Fuyuki City was a small seaside town in the middle of nowhere, so the knight girl didn't have time to see the world......

The most important thing is that in the span of more than 20 years, the economic development is really many times more prosperous than before. So it was the first time she had faced this kind of thing, and she was sincerely amazed.

"In other words, this is not just a place to buy clothes?" Not being able to understand the meaning of a large number of unfamiliar words that Xia Ran said, the girl frowned, trying hard to grasp the core key point.

“……”

“……”

"Ah, that's right, that's what I mean, this is not a place that specializes in selling clothes, there are all kinds of other shopping, dining, leisure and other services......" Xia Ran pulled the corners of his mouth, and then nodded.

As he spoke, he had already walked into the gate of the shopping mall, and he took out a guidebook from the shelf next to him, just spread it out and looked at it, and then found his goal.

He leaned over to the girl, stretched out his hand to the map above and said:

"You see, on the inside of the first floor, there are counters such as "JASSIE" and "Lisa Lisa", and most of the shops in this area are mainly young women, although some of the names sound like they teach ripple qigong......"

"Ripple Qigong? What is that? Saber asked, a little strangely, and leaned back subconsciously.

She wasn't too used to being so close to each other with Xia Ran, and they could smell each other's scent.

Although she also knew that the other party really didn't mean anything else, she just took the guide map to point out the key information to herself, of course, she had to get together and read it together, so she couldn't let the other party stand five meters away with the map and shake it twice for herself, right?

"Ripple Qigong is a special ability that uses a special breathing method to create ripples in the flesh, thus generating great power...... Wait, I'm telling you what you're doing here, don't interrupt yet, listen to me. ”

Xia Ran shook his head, banishing the legitimate associations caused by the name "Lisa Lisa", as well as a series of concepts about "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure", Ripple Qigong, and vampires from his mind.

"Oh, you say it......" Saber nodded obediently, but his mind was spinning quickly.

In this case, maybe the Master's main world is not as ordinary as it seems? Although as far as she could see, the magic was a pool of stagnant water at all, but it didn't seem to be without other miracles.

And what kind of ripple qigong, even this magician who can fight with the heroic spirit, personally said that it is a "powerful force", so it must be a very strong secret technique or something like that, right?

Although she still didn't understand why the names of those shops sounded like they would teach people ripple qigong.

"Forget it, let's go over directly......" Xia Ran was interrupted by her like this, but she didn't know what to say, so she just took her over directly, ready to cut through the mess quickly and solve all the problems directly.

After buying clothes and going straight to the next location, he didn't want to dwell on this kind of thing.

However, soon, after arriving at the destination, Xia Ran suddenly realized that he had overlooked an important issue, not because he was not careful and cautious enough, but because he really had no experience in this area.

The atmosphere around it is noticeably different, and the space is filled with the scent of flowers and soaps in a space intertwined with pastels and bright tones...... Because it is a women-oriented area, it is obvious that not only is it surrounded by female customers, but also the surrounding product displays are full of clothes, accessories, socks, and ......

A wide variety of colorful fashion underwear.

“……”

“……”

Xia Ran was silent directly, and even Saber understood something in an instant, and her cheeks suddenly became red and thorough.

If you're looking for a full set of everyday clothes, it seems inevitable that this kind of thing is unavoidable, right? But, but...... Although she really didn't know what to do, asking the master was the most appropriate choice......

No, no, no, it can't be, this is absolutely impossible...... Although she had never cared about such a thing, she had always felt that it would be best if others treated her as a man.

However, that doesn't mean she can tolerate such shameless things.

"That, Saber, I'm ......" Xia Ran finally exhaled lightly and turned her head to look at the knight girl.

"No! Absolutely not! I...... I...... I just need to be like this, I don't have to buy clothes or anything. Artoria raised her eyebrows for a moment, and expressed her negative refusal to him with great firmness.

"We can ......," Xia Ran said slowly.

"Absolutely not! Widows, widows, and shameful people! ”

The magician raised his eyebrows and looked around, realizing that there were already a lot of discordant glances at him, but this was also normal, and it was natural that he would be scrutinized as a male in this area.

Coupled with Saber's overreaction just now, it naturally aroused the vigilance of many women, whether it was the customer's or the clerk's...... Although he originally wanted to say that he could find a shopping guide to come directly to a full set, he couldn't.

However, Saber's overreaction seemed to be given by stepping on his tail, and this option seemed to be missed.

Glancing around, he always felt that the alert bar on the heads of the women around him was about to be full, and the next thing was about to change from a question mark to a red exclamation mark, so he sighed, and was ready to take Saber's hand and retreat first.

"Huh? Is it Xia Ran? Ah, it's really Xia Ran! I've finally seen you......"

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the side, calling out his name in a loud voice, as if it was familiar with him.

Xia Ran turned his head to look and saw a big beauty with an amazing appearance walking quickly, as if she had caught her prey, this scene seemed familiar, but he relaxed all of a sudden.

Gorgeous black hair, delicate and transparent fair skin, and upright facial features - a very dazzling posture, even if the whole body exudes a sense of purity, the kind smile still adds a lot of gorgeousness.

At the same time, under the snow, Yono also showed a smile in his chest, and finally let her catch it......

But something is wrong!

Shouldn't this kid be nervous and worried when he sees himself at this time? Why is it that you have a familiar expression as if you are really happy to see yourself at this time, as if you have seen a savior?!

(PS: Happy Labor Day, everyone...... Well, I might have to take a break tomorrow too...... Uh-huh, nodding)
