Chapter 63: Women Pick Clothes
Although she had seen more than once on TV about the bustling business district of Belanhill City, Eliza was shocked when she actually came here.
It turns out that all humans in Belanhill can fly.
Just as cars and airplanes have become widespread in the kingdom of Blaze, civilian jetpacks have reached jaw-dropping popularity.
Eliza and Shadowlord stepped out of the underground garage and stood in front of the huge entrance pillar in the business district, and saw people flying off the ground like birds, through the large arch behind the pillar, and towards the business district.
Those who fly, winged people and humans. The winged man's snow-white wings flapped in the air, and the jetpack on the human's back hissed white.
A white curtain suspended from decorative balloons in the air projects a huge bird's-eye map of the business district. A large number of human and winged people hovered over the map, looking for the storefront they wanted to visit.
"That's a lot of people...... Eliza sighed.
The laws of the Qingyun Empire prohibit the use of jetpacks by the primitives. In order to tie the original people at the bottom of the society to the ground, the law requires them to only use the elevator used by the original people; The means of transportation is also to take the land and air buses used exclusively by the original people, and once you leave the means of transportation, you can only walk on foot.
The sight of a crowd of people flying together like the one on the streets of the Kingdom of Blaze would never have been seen in the Empire.
Eliza looked at the Shadow Owl and said, "Then we ...... too"
The latter nodded knowingly.
Miss Singer spread her wings and flew towards the arch.
Shadowbolt also opens his jetpack and follows.
Ten minutes later, the two stopped in front of a luxury store.
Looking through the window, it seems that the store mainly sells dresses. The store offers floor-length dresses that drape gorgeously, tuxedo-style little black skirts, women's suits, and simple and luxurious dresses......
"Then I'll go check it out first." Eliza gestured to the door.
"Go ahead." After the Shadow Owl finished speaking, he stood in the doorway as usual.
The luxury store covers an area of three to four hundred square meters, with a huge interior space divided into two floors.
There is a soft light in the ceiling wardrobe, and the warm light of goose yellow can highlight the gorgeous colors on the clothes without hurting the clothes; Precious bags and jewellery are encased in tempered glass and suspended in the air, blending into the in-store design and allowing customers to view the products in 360 degrees.
There are many areas in the store, such as women's ready-to-wear, reception dresses, evening dresses, leather goods, accessories, shoes, jewelry and watches, and it seems that it is not difficult to pick out a complete set of performance costumes here.
The clothes displayed in the store are gorgeous and elegant, and most of the dresses have a waistline that is quickly tucked in, highlighting the curves between the waist and the chest.
"The empire doesn't seem to have a specialty store of this brand." Eliza flew between the upper and lower floors like a hardworking little bee, look here and there, "but the style of this shop ...... Wouldn't it be too exposed? ”
Suddenly, her eyes lit up - a short white dress hanging in the corner caught her attention.
It was a dress woven from lily petals, and the hem was adorned with fine silver tassels. The pearls that adorn the neckline and cuffs are crystal clear, like morning dew on the petals.
She flew in that direction, scrutinizing it from five meters in the air — it looked like the most conservative dress in the store. Pure, natural, holy...... Meets almost all the standards of stage attire. And from the perspective of the audience in the front row, the details and texture of the clothes are perfect, without any flaws.
"Okay, that's you!" Eliza said as she flew towards the closet where her dress was hung.
Suddenly, there was the sound of wind in my ears.
A figure flew almost close to her side, a hissing jet in the air.
Only half a meter faster than her hand, another smooth-skinned, soft, slender arm preempted her and picked up the hanger that supported her skirt.
"Huh?" Eliza's hand to reach for clothes stopped in the air.
"Huh?" The hand that got the clothes also stopped, and a low but charming female voice asked, "Do you want to buy this too?" ”
Eliza turned her head, and the girl who got the dress before her was looking at her. Behind the other party, the jetpack was still bubbling with wisps of white gas.
"Hmm. I was going to try it on......"
The human girl in her hands looked to be in her early twenties, with healthy bronzed skin and beautiful royal blue eyes. She has slender legs, a full chest, a slender waist, and wears a linen short. Because of the loose clothing, the figure looks more graceful.
Seeing Eliza turn her head to look at her, the girl suddenly showed a shocked look, and her voice trembled with excitement: "You, you, you...... You're not Eliza, are you!? ”
The second lady was startled by her sudden excitement, retracted her hand stretched out to her clothes and said, "Ah...... My name is Eliza. Walker. Excuse me, ...... you are? ”
"Eliza, the lead singer of the New Wings!? Yes - Ben - Man - Yah——! Ahh The girl grabbed Eliza's retracted hand with the hand that didn't hold the hanger, and her eyes were full of surprise, "I'm a fan of the New Wings...... No, no, to be precise – I'm your fan! My name is Melona, and everyone calls me Xiaomei! ”
Eliza was dragged forward, spread her wings and tried to maintain her balance, and politely replied, "Nice to meet you......"
"I'm happier than you! A hundred times happier than you! Melona grabbed Eliza's hand and shook it vigorously, "Can you sign me later?" Yes...... What can I do when I go shopping without a signed version or a pen...... Woohoo......"
"Well, that ......" Eliza was dazzled by the enthusiastic fans, and timidly raised her other hand and said, "Don't get excited......
"Yes...... Yes...... Right! I'm so excited......" Melona reacted at this time, embarrassed to let go of Eliza, and calmed down for a moment before continuing, "By the way, did you just want to try on this dress?" She shook the hanger with the little dress hanging from it.
"Hmm. But since you got it first, you should try it first. Eliza gestured to the fitting room in the distance.
"Really!? …… So what do you do? Melona said quickly, "I was going to buy this dress right away, because I need a stage outfit right now." Ahh......h
"That's right......," Eliza grimaced, "but I need a stage outfit too." The plane I was on from the empire had an accident and I couldn't find my luggage, so I ......"
"Ah...... Accident!? Melona immediately said playfully, "Are you okay then?" Didn't get hurt, did you? ”
"We, the passengers, are all right, it's just the crew ......" Eliza couldn't help but bow her head sadly at the thought of the crashed plane.
"This kind of natural and man-made disaster, there is no way." Melona patted her on the shoulder and said in relief, "If you want to open up, at least you'll be fine." ”
“……”
"Do you have to wear white for a costume? Is there a color requirement? Melona asked again.
"There is no requirement for color, just the style ......"
"The style is easy to do!" The dancer breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You see, either - give me this dress first." I still have a lot of clothes at home, and there are so many more styles than in this store! You can go back with me and pick a satisfactory one to take away, okay? ”
“…… Ay!? ”
"Don't look at the way I look now, as a dancer, I love my job very dedicated!" Melona patted her chest confidently, "I have thousands of costumes at home, and there are all kinds of styles. I'll help you pick it out and make sure you're satisfied! ”
"Uh......" Eliza dropped into a cold sweat, "No, no need...... That's too much trouble for you......"
"No trouble, no trouble!" Melona took Eliza's hand without saying anything, "And I also have a pen and a signed version at home, so you can sign it for me!" ”
Eliza was dragged all the way, completely unbelievable that a human who only glided on a jetpack could be able to drag the winged man to the ground. By the time she reacted, the two of them had almost flown to the cash register.
Suddenly, Melona braked without warning.
The jetpack spewed a string of white gas forward and stopped in the air.
"Ahh......h She was originally a melon seed face, and this huge toad mirror was worn on her face, covering everything except her nose and mouth.
"If you want to wear sunglasses, it's okay to wear them when you go out, right?" Eliza asked, confused.
Melona waved her hand: "I'm afraid of the sun...... I'm afraid of ...... sun" and then pulled her up again and rushed towards the cash register.
The cashier girl took Melona's platinum membership card and quickly swiped the card to settle the bill.
The shadow owl who was waiting outside had been standing by the door, and it was still strange when he heard the sound of the door - did the girl pick out clothes so quickly. Then seeing Eliza reluctantly being pulled by Melona, she stumbled out, her eyes instantly became very sharp, and she stood up and stopped in front of the two.
Melona stepped on her heels and stood up straight, almost as tall as the Shadow Owl. Seeing him come over and stop in front of him, his eyes lit up, and he lifted his sunglasses and exclaimed, "Wow - he looks so cool!" Then he turned to Eliza and asked, "Is this your boyfriend?" ”
"No......" Eliza felt an inexplicable sense of powerlessness.
"That'......" Melona looked the Shadow Owl up and down without fear, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her eyes, "Could it be the legendary servant!?" I heard that the empire has a very strange master-servant system, but I didn't expect to see a living servant today and make a lot of money! ”
This tone is as if the "living servants" are national treasures such as "live pandas" and "live red-crowned cranes".
The sharpness of the "......" shadow owl was half discarded in an instant, and he felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Well, since it's your man, let him follow!" Melona said to herself as she pulled Eliza around the Shadowlord, "Where's your car?" Do you know the parking space number? The parking lot here is like my backyard, you just have to say the number and you can find it......"
Five minutes later, the three of them found the business vehicle for the Blastwind Society in the underground garage.
The driver was one of the executive bodyguards of the Swift Wind Society. The face of the Chinese character, the small flat head, the muscles are knotted, and the eyes are fierce.
Melona leaned against the cab door and knocked on the window as if she were greeting her own car.
The bodyguard lowered the window and asked coldly, "What is the young lady doing?" ”
Melona cocked her buttocks, bent down and leaned on the window to turn on the video headset: "Master driver, please drive down the navigation, I'll give you a coordinate, and I'll drive to this place in a while......"
"Who are you?" The bodyguard spoke in a bad tone. As she asked, she looked behind Melona through the gap in the window. Seeing Eliza smiling and waving at him, as if there was no problem, her eyes turned back to look at Melona, with no intention of opening the navigation in her hand.
Melona lifted her sunglasses slightly, her face exposed to the bodyguards.
The dancer put a finger to her lips and made a "silence" gesture.
The bodyguard's expression was like an electric shock, he gasped, didn't ask any more questions, and obediently turned on the navigator.
Half an hour later, a high-end villa built by the lake appeared outside the car window.
Along the way, Melona sat in the back row with Eliza instead, chattering and asking all kinds of questions. Like what:
INTERVIEWER I've heard that none of the boys in your band have girlfriends, is that true?
- Is Gu Yang really the grandson of an Air Force general? How do you look polite...... Will he fight?
- Is Ziyin from the Empire? Why do we speak with the accent of our Blaze?
- What? He speaks without an accent? You can't make out the obvious accent!?
- And ...... Does Virgil have a boyfriend? Yes, yes, boyfriend! Listen to whom? I guess what? You just say no!
- Also, the boys in your band all smoke, so do you smoke?
- Don't smoke? It's true? I heard that the female lead singer smokes, why don't you smoke?
If you haven't read "100,000 Whys", you will definitely think that the protagonist of that set of popular science books is Melona.
Even if Eliza is the kind of lady who has both good self-cultivation and good temper, it is very disturbing to be asked such a series of questions. And some of these questions can't be answered, such as those related to Ziyin's identity, everyone in the band has long said that they will keep it secret.
At the end of the question, Miss Singer could only answer with a humble and polite smile and silence, and her face was almost frozen when she got out of the car.
"Hey...... I still have to pick out my clothes before I can leave......" Eliza sighed helplessly, "I wish I could find the right outfit sooner." ”
In fact, when they met in a brand clothing store on the commercial street, Eliza knew that Melona's family background should be similar to herself, and eighty percent of them were also the children of wealthy merchants or powerful people in the Blaze Kingdom. Any piece of clothing in that luxury store is enough for an ordinary white-collar worker to earn a month's salary without eating or drinking. Holding a platinum card and paying the bill without even looking at the price tag can't be the kind of ordinary dancer dancing in a bar.
But even so, Eliza's education from a young age still doesn't allow her to intrude into other people's privacy casually. So she wasn't prepared to inquire about Melona's true identity or real career, and she wasn't interested in inquiring.
The villa where Melona lives is a small three-story building. On the first floor, there are two frighteningly large cloakrooms, and a 10-square-meter dressing room with floor-to-ceiling mirrors on all sides. The cloakroom is densely packed with all kinds of clothing. Including the four seasons of skirts, pants, pajamas, dresses, wedding doxedos, bags and shoes...... As long as you can think of an outfit, it seems to have it all.
"How? It should meet your expectations, right? Melona hung her handbag and coat on the hanger at the door, opened the cloakroom, and pointed to the dazzling array of clothes inside.
"That's a lot...... Eliza's eyes straightened, "if you pick it like this, you'll have choice disorder." ”
For the topic of picking clothes, the shadow owl has always stayed away. There was only one thing in his closet that was the uniform of the Great Priest's Palace. In his opinion, it is enough for clothes to cover the body, and of course, it is better to facilitate movement.
"Then I'll help you pick it!" Melona volunteered to push Eliza into the locker room, then walked in herself and said, "I bought these clothes, and I have an impression of the styles and colors." Tell me about the stage outfit requirements first. ”
As Shadow Owl stood with his arms crossed, pondering how long to pick out his clothes, a winged young man in a casual shirt and jeans descended the second-story stairs.
"Alas...... It is troublesome for a woman to pick out clothes. "The young man has sword eyebrows, starry eyes, a handsome face, and wide wings. He slipped up to the Shadow Owl, patted him on the shoulder, and casually asked, "Brother, did you say so?" ”
