Volume 2 The Puppet Chapter 6 Shopping, Chance Encounters, and Stalking
Chapter 6 Shopping, Chance Encounters and Stalking
The next day, Leah kept her promise and couldn't wait to pull Lore out of the academy after the afternoon training session.
Leaving only Kylo, who was in the same class as Lore, confused, Kylo was a little confused, but it seemed good to think that his dormitory would be free from being rudely requisitioned tonight.
Leah took Lore to the most prosperous area of the royal city, Moon Street, known as the "women's shopping paradise".
Moon Street is said to be a street, but it is actually composed of a number of roads interspersed with very complex roads, and it also has the reputation of "Moon City".
Of course, Moon Street is not a completely female-oriented consumption place, in addition to occupying most of the women's items, other items such as weapons and equipment, alchemy materials and even pet magic eggs are also readily available, but the shops here have always been exquisite and luxurious, and the prices are high, so it can attract the favor of aristocratic ladies and ladies in the royal city.
As a native of the royal city, Lore is still a nobleman, and of course it is not the first time she has come to Moon Street, but the few times she has occasionally come here are still for some scarce magic materials, and it is the first time for her to go straight to a women's clothing store like this.
Lore followed Leah from store to shop with a sluggish expression, looking at Leah, who seemed to be a completely different person, she felt that this was the first time she really saw Leah's "true face".
Leah's eye-shining frenzy when she encounters beautiful jewelry and cute clothes, professional questioning of certain minor flaws and unreasonable prices, explanations of various cosmetics heads, and arguments with the clerk's exaggerated sales of products, all of these performances make Lore unbelievable.
Is this still Leah, who has been following her like a tail since she was a child, and may fall at any time, crying at every turn?
In other words, Lore can be said to have been glued to Leah most of the time, and she doesn't know where Leah learned these things!
But doubts are doubts, as a young girl, Lore's ability to accept these things is still good, in Leah's words: this is a woman's nature.
After the foreshadowing of the previous stores, Lore's nondescript aesthetic vision has almost made a qualitative leap, although it is not as good as one percent of Leah's, but she is obviously already enjoying it.
And now, the two are in a shop that specializes in makeup and dressing for aristocratic ladies, called "Different Red Clothes".
Looking in the mirror with a charm that is different from the past: carefully outlined eyebrows, gently raised corners of the eyes, slightly powdered cheeks, sparkling lips, carefully tailored hairstyles and hair accessories, as well as a carefully selected blue dress and brown sandals, Lore couldn't believe her eyes.
And Leah, who was behind her, looked at her friend who had been personally "debugged" by her own hands, and couldn't help nodding her head in admiration, with a "kind" smile like an old mother on her face.
Lore reluctantly withdrew her gaze from the mirror, only to see Leah's "relieved" smile when she turned her head.
Lore was startled: "Uh, Leah, your smile feels like my mother!"
Leah's smiling expression suddenly stiffened, and she quickly put away her smile: "How is it?
Lore nodded hurriedly, "Uh-huh, where are we going next?"
Leah felt a little crying and laughing, and felt that Lore was really going to awaken the nature of a woman: "That's it for today, there will be more opportunities in the future, besides, I don't have much money left, what about you?"
Lore still felt a little regretful, but when she checked her wallet and saw the few silver coins left, she was suddenly startled again: "Oh my God! Why is it like this! I have enough pocket money for a month today!"
Leah walked up to Lore, stood on tiptoe slightly, and patted Lore on the shoulder very seriously: "Remember, Lore! A woman's face is priceless! How can a few gold and silver coins be compared to our own?!"
Lore was dumbfounded: "But my expenses today are almost catching up with the value of our 'Blue Light Ring'!"
Leah sneered disdainfully: "What's that! Money is something outside of the body! Beauty is our greatest capital!"
Lore: "......"
Lore felt that Leah had a point, but she always felt that there was something wrong, and she didn't just come out this time for herself, she was going to bring some gifts to Kylo or something, but where were the few silver coins left!
Lore hesitated, and was about to open her mouth to explain to Leah: "Leah, actually, I-"
Before Lore could finish his sentence, he was suddenly interrupted by a strange laugh.
"Woohehehehehe! Beauty is capital! That's a good thing to say!"
Lore turned his head to look at it, and immediately frowned.
The woman who suddenly spoke walked towards Lore and Leah, followed by two retinues full of shopping bags, a man and a woman.
The woman, or rather the girl, was dressed in a luxurious aristocratic dress, a pretty face with exquisite makeup, and a very characteristic long wavy curly hair, and a very tall figure, similar to Lore, but the figure was completely different.
If Lore's figure is tall and tall, convex and backward, just right, then this girl is the real disaster level!
The girl slowly paced in front of Lore and the others, looked at Loel with interest, and then looked at Leah condescendingly and said, "Little sister, there are not many people like you who are conscious and capable! I appreciate you!"
Lore stared at the girl who suddenly appeared with an unkind gaze: "Who do you say is a barbarian?"
The girl glanced at Lore lightly, but ignored her, and continued to say to Leah: "However, some barbarians can't change the savage aura of her no matter how much they decorate!
Leah looked confused, puzzled by the girl's sudden accosting, but she still saw that the girl was coming for Lore.
"A barbarian! I think you're a real barbarian!" was already surging in Lorre's eyes, if it weren't for the fact that this was a public place, Lorre would probably have the heart to draw his sword.
The girl covered her mouth and said in disgust: "Hehe, a barbarian is a barbarian, wearing human clothes and speaking human language, it is still as annoying as a monkey!"
"You!" Loul was furious, clenched his right hand into a fist, and took a sharp step forward.
"You, what do you want to do?" The girl's eyes flashed with panic, and she subconsciously took a step back, and the two attendants behind her immediately stepped forward when they saw this, and they heartily guarded the girl in front of her.
Seeing that she was in a safe place, the girl suddenly became arrogant again, and continued to taunt: "Miss Ben said that she was going to hit someone!
Lore stared at the girl coldly, but he didn't take it lightly: "You don't deserve to hit you! I'm afraid of soiling my new clothes!"
The girl's face changed suddenly, and she glared at each other through her entourage and Lore.
Leah carefully tugged at Lore's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Lore, who is this?"
Lore said without looking back, "It's the owner of the Flowstriped Lightning Cat." ”
Leah suddenly realized, "Oh! It's her! It's just that she said you didn't ...... Huh!"
Lore said in a deep voice: "Yes, it's that crazy woman!"
Lore exclaimed, "Hey, madwoman, what's wrong with you, you have to have nothing to do!"
The girl said angrily, "You're a crazy woman!" Miss Ben just doesn't like you, what can you do?
Lore slowly concentrated his magic power in his right hand, a blazing flame slowly ignited, and said in a cold voice: "Then do you know what will happen if you provoke me?"
A look of panic flashed across the girl's face again, and she took a step back: "What are you going to do! Hey, Myron, Vickers, stop that monkey!"
The girl's two attendants looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but they could only obey the order, and reluctantly took out their weapons: a staff and a long sword.
The man named Vickers said to Lore and the others with a little apology, "You better leave quickly!
Lore obviously didn't intend to retreat, twice she was found fault with this nasty crazy woman, the first time she endured it, and the second time she couldn't bear it anyway.
The flames in Lore's hand suddenly burst into flames, turning into a flaming long sword in his hand, which was the "edge" of the divine sword.
Vickers and Myron's faces changed, and they felt the blazing coercion in the air, and their hearts were alarmed.
However, Vickers and Myron were obviously professionally trained guards, and they were vigilant in their hearts, but they had no intention of retreating, but were careful to guard Lore.
Seeing that a battle was about to break out, the other customers in the store also looked sideways.
And just around the corner outside the store, Kylo, Edge, and Nolans were watching from afar.
I don't know how the three of them appeared here, but judging from their usual behavior patterns, they can guess that this is definitely not what Kylo meant, with his character, it is better to be able to lie down and sleep in the dormitory freely than anything else.
The three of them were following Lore, the idea was proposed by Nolans, who deadpulled Kylo and Aitch to see what Lore was plotting about, but he didn't expect that these two were actually shopping like ordinary girls!
This discovery surprised the three of them, and when they saw Lore's completely different girl's makeup from the past, they were even more shocked that their eyes were about to fall out, but it is undeniable that Lohr, who has been carefully dressed, actually burst out with a different kind of youthful and graceful beauty.
It's just that before the three of them could continue to be surprised, they saw the inexplicable dispute in front of them.
Nolans said, "This is going to be a fight! What is going on! Hey, shall we go over and help?"
Kylo shrugged indifferently, "I'm whatever, Edge, what about you?
Edge's expression was a little strange, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Otherwise, you can go!
Nolans and Kylo looked at Aitch suspiciously, wondering why he said that.
Aitch glanced at the girl who was confronting Lore with complicated eyes: "That girl, her name is Rick, I know her." For some reason, I don't bother to come forward. ”
Nolans said meaningfully, "Oh, for some reason! Okay, I see! Kylo, let's go!"
Aitch glanced at Nolans helplessly, always feeling as if this guy knew everything, and always had a bad face!
"No need!" Kylo looked into the store not far away, "I can't fight anymore!
Nolans and Aitch hurriedly looked after hearing this, and found that the workers in the store had intervened, and there were more and more onlookers around.
Although Nolans was a little regretful, he was also relieved: "Then we won't be able to go, so it won't be easy to explain if the captain finds out that we are following her!"
Aitch also breathed a sigh of relief, but it was hard to say what he was for.
What kind of relationship does Aitch have with the girl named Rick?
Nolans expressed interest.
