Act Eighty-Eight. Afternoon tea party

Half an hour later, Claire, dressed in a long dress, with socks and small leather shoes, was waiting in the lobby of the hotel with some trepidation, her hair had been put down, and only two strands of hair around her ears were tied up with a light white ribbon behind her head, looking like those dignified and virtuous rich ladies.

Reiner was still dressed in a shirt, and when he saw Claire's appearance, he nodded with satisfaction before he spoke.

"Let's go."

"Where to go?"

Claire hurried to follow Reiner's footsteps, and saw him call a carriage, and waited until she was seated next to Reiner before she could ask.

"You'll know when you get there."

Smiling mysteriously, Reiner didn't explain much.

The space of the carriage is not spacious, so Claire and Reiner have physical contact from time to time, Reiner naturally doesn't feel anything, but Claire feels her chest fluttering and can't settle down.

Torento, the capital of the province of Ammonet, was bustling with traffic, and it took more than half an hour for the carriage to reach its destination.

As soon as she got out of the car, Claire felt the noisy crowd.

It's a far cry from the countryside of Crescent College, with men and women dressed in trendy clothes, shops and buildings lined with signs hanging between them, making it undoubtedly one of Toruto's busiest neighborhoods.

Van Chem Boulevard, a commercial street with 500 shops of all sizes, and more than 70% of the goods in the entire Tolendo will flow through here, whether it is ordinary daily use or magic props, as long as it is a commodity that can be circulated in the market, there are traces here.

Claire hadn't come to her senses yet, and she didn't know why Reiner had brought her here.

"Are we going to buy something?"

She asked, but Reiner shook his head.

"No, let's just come and hang out, can't we?"

"Huh?"

Claire couldn't figure out Reiner's intentions at all, but she couldn't pick up the doubt when Reiner took her into a shop full of small skirts.

Reiner had done his research in advance, this women's clothing store called the Afternoon Tea Party is a famous clothing store in Toruto, with a history of 300 years, high-quality clothes are all handmade, although a simple skirt costs dozens of silver coins, and the high-end style is even more expensive, but it still can't stop the pace of those aristocratic daughters to buy and buy.

"Just take a look and tell me if you like it."

Reiner said that he was not short of money at all, so it was perfectly fine to help Claire, who usually takes care of school affairs, buy a few new clothes.

At the end of the day, Reiner felt that a girl of the right age shouldn't wear that kind of old-fashioned robe to cover herself.

Girls should wear nice little dresses!

Now that he has changed the school uniform for Crescent Academy, it is natural that he will also start to help Claire improve her living environment.

"Really, really?"

Claire's eyes widened in disbelief, and Reiner's sudden generosity caught her off guard, fearing that it was some kind of trap and conspiracy.

"You won't have to do something shy at night after buying a dress, right?"

“...... Let's go. ”

"Wait, wait, I'll say whatever I want."

Claire grabbed Reiner, her nature as a woman made her have no resistance to these beautiful clothes, since Reiner let herself choose at will, then Claire simply let it go, and if she encounters any traps in the future, she can only accept her fate.

Instead of not buying regrets, it is better to regret buying them!

Immediately, Claire picked it up in this two-story clothing store.

Claire, who was usually poor, was now a little dazzled by the dazzling array of beautiful clothes, when a young woman in a black and white ruffled dress approached and asked very politely.

"How can I help?"

Only then did Reiner notice that the woman also had a nameplate on her chest, and she was supposed to be the clerk of the store.

It is worthy of being a professional clothing store, and even the clothes of the clerks are unified with the overall style.

"I'd like to help this lady choose a few dresses, well, three for everyday and two for formal occasions."

Reiner thought for a moment and said, ordinary aristocrats have many well-made dress long skirts, and even in wealthier families, a long dress and long skirt will never be worn a second time on a formal occasion.

But it was too extravagant, and Reiner didn't think it was necessary to be so pompous, but a proper dress was still necessary.

"Okay, so what are the requirements for production, like these long dresses are cheap, but the sizes are standard, and the price of hand-cut will be more expensive, but you can customize the size and style according to the requirements."

The clerk patiently explained, causing Claire to panic a little and subconsciously look at Reiner.

"Dress is hand-made, and it's good to buy standard clothes for daily clothes."

Reiner replied that ordinary clothes were fine as long as they fit relatively well, but clothes for formal occasions should not be ambiguous.

"I see, so what are the requirements for style......"

Next, the clerk asked and took Claire to choose clothes, while Reiner waited on the sidelines, giving a little advice from time to time.

In the end, Claire chose three relatively simple and simple skirts, and after confirming the style of the dress with the clerk, she followed another clerk with a tape measure into the wardrobe to measure the size.

Reiner sat on the couch on the first floor, waiting for Claire to come out.

Although the women's clothes of this era are not yet separated from the complex and gorgeous court style, but there have also been some simple designs, this afternoon tea party clothing store should be one of the shops at the forefront of the trend, the skirt here is not the kind of bloated design based on a variety of patterns, but closer to the Victorian era of clothing on the earth, with lace, ruffles, ribbons, bows and other elements, a little less graceful and luxurious, a little more girly cuteness.

In fact, most of the customers in the shop are young girls, and the clerks in black and white dresses are introducing the girls to their dresses in detail, and Reiner also overhears a lot of knowledge.

"Dana is probably going to love it, right?"

Reiner thought that the next time he had the chance, he could bring that student with a talent for design to visit here, and maybe even make friends with the boss here.

While thinking, Claire walked out of the dressing room, and after determining the style and size, the rest was left to be made by the tailor.

"Your lover is in such a good figure, I am also a little envious."

The previous clerk got the list measured by his colleague, glanced at it and said with a smile, Reiner was noncommittal, but Claire turned her face away and silently defended something.

Reiner followed the clerk to the cashier to check out, looked at the price, but it was not surprising to him.

"We don't have a delivery service, so please come back in a week to pick it up."

The clerk said, then handed the slip to Reiner for signing.

So Reiner generously wrote "Reiner. Ian Gray, Crescent Academy", and returned the slip to the clerk.

But after the clerk got the receipt, his eyes widened suddenly, and after repeated confirmation, he asked a little tremblingly.

"You're the winner of the Hohenheim Gold Cup, Reiner. Ian Gray? ”
