Chapter 106: Dating (M) (4k5)
ββ¦β¦ It looks like the old store is no longer there. β
Looking at the faΓ§ade not far away and stunned for a moment, Delphinium turned around and wanted to leave with Xia Liang: "But think about it, so many years have passed, and it's only strange that these storefronts can still exist, let's go." β
She pushed Xia Liang's arm and motioned for him to follow her, but found that Xia Liang didn't move.
Not only that, when the Delphinium was about to leave, Xia Liang grabbed her sleeve with his backhand and fixed the Delphinium in place, unable to move forward for a while.
"Try it, junior."
She looked at the delphinium with a smile: "Anyway, it's coming, why don't you go and take a look?" β
Delphinium couldn't help but shake her head: "No, I think ......"
- "The two little sisters over there, are you interested in our store?" β
At this moment, the girl on the board at the door of the cafΓ© suddenly took two steps closer to them and said loudly: "There is a special event today, in addition to specific products, you can get discounts, and you can also get rewards for completing the mini-game!" β
Her loud voice directly interrupted Delphich's original words, blocking her refusal.
"Huh? Are you sure? What is the activity? β
On the other hand, Xia Liang had already rushed to the door of the store and chatted with the clerk of the kanban and asked: "I have never been to a maid cafΓ© or anything like that before, what exactly do you want to do?" β
"Well...... It's just some very common mini-games, and there is no difficulty, as long as you win against the sisters in our store, you can get rewards. β
The clerk at the door said quite kindly: "And even if you don't win, as long as the sisters in the store recognize your performance, you can also get a reward." β
"As for what today's event is, you see."
She pointed to the floor-to-ceiling window on the side, and looked through the window to see a group of young female clerks in colorful costumes walking back and forth in the store: "Our theme this time is Magical Girl Day." β
Magical Girl Day.
The moment she said this word, Delphinus secretly said in her heart that something was wrong, but after all, she was still a step late, and Xia Liang on the side had already begun to light up her eyes.
"Sounds so funny!"
That's what she said.
Not interesting at all.
The delphinium retorted in her mind.
It's just that today's trip is mainly based on Xia Liang's wishes after all, she thinks it's interesting, and Delphinium doesn't need to pour cold water on her, so she can only follow her into the cafΓ© in front of her.
As soon as I walked into the store, I saw the surrounding clerks turn around and say in a clear voice: "The guardian of love and justice, cheer for your smile today, welcome to the secret base of magical girls in Fangting City!" β
The uniform greeting made the delphinium can't help but jump in the eyelids.
"Normally, this is where you say 'Welcome home, Master' or 'Welcome home, Miss.' It's just that it's a special theme day, so it's a different way of saying it."
The kanban girl who followed her chuckled and explained, "How is it? Doesn't it feel like a magical girl in a TV anime? β
"Yes, yes!"
Looking around with interest, Xia Liang's face was full of irrepressible curiosity, and at the same time praised: "Even the decoration on the wall is a magic wand, which is really realistic!" β
"Here, please, it's easier to see the whole store from the seats here."
The kanban girl guided the two all the way to a vacant two-seater, and then pointed to the standing sign on the table: "If you want to order, you can choose online, see if there is anything interested!" I'll miss it first! β
After doing the guidance work, after she explained so simply, she walked briskly and turned to leave.
Delphinium and Xia Liang also sat down and clicked on the menu through their mobile phones. They each looked at the options on the menu for a moment, then discussed them and ordered the desserts and drinks they needed.
Xia Liang ordered a cup of fruit tea, a plate of small cakes and a cup of ice cream; Delphinium asked for something relatively modest, she just wanted a latte.
The business in the store is actually very good, and you can see that many customers are interacting with the clerks in magical girl uniforms. Fortunately, the speed of making the food was not slowed down by the booming business, and in a short time, the dessert of Delphinium and Xia Liang was brought up by a clerk in a blue dress.
And after seeing the face of the visitor, Delphinus couldn't help but raise her eyebrows - because the other party was the Kanban girl who had just left.
I saw that the other side had changed out of the maid uniform she was wearing when she stood at the door, and put on a set of ornately decorated blue coats and tufts in the style of magical girls. At this moment, with a smile on his face, he brought the dessert to the table where the two of them were.
"Aren't you looking at the board outside?" Delphinium couldn't help but ask.
"It's a shift, it's a shift, you can't just stand outside all the time."
The kanban girl in the blue dress explained with a haha: "If you are exposed to the sun all the time, your skin will darken." β
"Yes."
Not satisfied with the perfunctory answer, the delphinium replied with some noncommittality, took the plate in her hand, and picked up the cup of coffee she had ordered.
"Interested in these magical girl-style uniforms in the store?"
Before Delphinium could bring the cup to her mouth, the girl on the board next to her came over again: "These uniforms in our store are all made according to reality." β
"Specifically, these magical girl dresses can actually be found on the Internet, and the original owner of each dress is a very famous magical girl."
"For example, look at the one on my body, it is the dress of the well-known magical girl of the northern central city of Tiandu, Blue Star."
Hearing what she said, Delphinium couldn't help but glance at her clothes. After comparing it with the "Blue Star" that the other party said in his memory, he found that it was indeed as the other party said, and it was very close to the deity's clothing.
Thinking of this, she looked around again, looked at the uniforms of the other clerks, and could see that these clothes were indeed more or less familiar. There are many things she remembers, some of which she has seen in her colleagues as a magical girl in the past, and some of which she has seen at a glance on various news or online pictures after retiring.
Aside from the fact that the girls in these clothes are serving tea and water, it's not a good experience to see such a rich magical girl costume in such a place.
The opinion of this place was a little higher, and the delphinium watched the actions of the surrounding clerks with great interest, while picking up the coffee and taking a sip gently.
However, when she began to calmly sip the coffee in her hand, another clerk walked in front of her lightly. And the uniform style worn by this clerk made Delphinium almost drink the coffee in her mouth into her trachea.
"Poofβahem, ahem!"
Bending down and coughing violently a few times, it was not easy to calm down, and the delphinium pointed to the clerk who was passing by, and said to the girl on the board next to her: "That dress...... It shouldn't be ......."
"Ah, do you know little sister? This is our magical girl in Fangting City.,Sakura's clothes.γ β
The clerk standing on the side didn't know why Delphinium reacted so violently, but when she recognized the origin of the prototype of this skirt, she continued to explain with a smile: "Speaking of Sakura, that's the pride of our Fangting City, although she has been inactive for a long time recently, but she has saved thousands of people in this city in the past." β
"Ah, well, I remember."
After calming down a little, Delphinium turned her face sideways and followed the other party's words: "I've seen it on TV before, so I feel that dress is a little familiar." β
Because Fang Cai's own reaction was too strange, and she didn't want the Kanban girl to realize this, she wanted to bring the topic directly to her, so Delphinium began to observe the costumes of the other clerks and tried to change the subject.
But before she could find a gimmick enough to divert the topic, when her eyes touched another clerk not far away, she fell into a long silence.
The navy blue Lolita dress, the big Bonet - just looking at these features, she knew that this was herself, and it was also Delphinium's magical girl outfit.
Her gaze was noticed by the kanban girl on the side, and she looked in the direction of the delphinium's gaze, and after seeing which uniform the clerk over there was wearing, she immediately asked, "Are you interested in her?" β
"No, not really, just take a look." Delphinium immediately looked away from the clerk's clothes.
"If I'm not mistaken, she's wearing the clothes of a magical girl from Fangting City."
The kanban girl didn't listen to Delphinium's explanation, but just opened her mouth and added: "It's just that the original owner of this dress is a magical girl who retired a long time ago, I remember it's called Cornflower?" β
As if she didn't care, Delphinium continued to sip her coffee and feign silence.
"Speaking of which, little sister, your hair is blue, maybe it will be appropriate to wear that outfit."
The kanban girl suddenly clasped her palms: "We have a small game today that happens to be the content of this.,Put on the same magical girl clothes as the clerk.,And then the two of them take a picture.,Do you want to try it?" β
"No need." The delphinium briefly and forcefully refused.
"If you don't want to make your photos public in the store, it's okay to keep them private!" The Kanban girl continued to suggest this, but received no further response from the delphinium.
It was at this time that Xia Liang, who was next to him after taking a photo of the dessert, raised his head and looked at the kanban girl: "Sister, are you not mistaken, the magical girl you are talking about is really called 'Cornflower'?" β
"Well, this code name should be quite famous, after all, she is also a veteran hero in Fangting City, and now you can still see her name in some old news when you search." The Kanban girl explained that she seemed to know a lot about magical girls.
"Hey...... It was originally called cornflower. β
Xia Liang curled the corners of his mouth slightly, glanced at Delphinium with a little meaning, and said meaningfully: "Then it seems that I am confused, I confused her with a magical girl named Delphinium." β
"Delphinium?" Hearing this, the kanban girl showed a somewhat puzzled look, "I don't know about this, I don't seem to have heard of such a code name." β
Listening to the conversation between the two people, Delphinium lowered her head in silence. She drank her coffee to herself, pretending not to hear the conversation between the two of them, and thinking about how to refuse the "little game" proposed by the other party.
"So, I'll give it a try."
Just when she was thinking about how to refuse, Xia Liang on the side suddenly raised her hand after the conversation: "It's the 'cornflower' dress you said, I want to try it!" β
"Oh! Little sister, you want to try? No problem. The locker room is over there. β
The kanban girl suddenly became energetic, and said with some encouragement: "We have prepared at least two of each magical girl uniform, so don't worry about conflicts!" β
The two reached an agreement, and Xia Liang immediately responded to the request of this "little game", got up from his seat, and followed the other party to the staff rest area in the store.
With the help of the clerk, Xia Liang quickly changed into the "cornflower" magical girl uniform, and according to the rules of the game, stood with the clerk wearing the same uniform, back to back, and began to try various poses.
"I'll see what kind of posture and lines are more appropriate......
After trying a few times before finding the most suitable posture and angle, Xia Liang picked up the blue wand with a faint smile, put on a battle-like posture with the clerk back to back, and winked at the camera with his right eye: "The safety of Fangting City is guarded by me!" β
"Ahh
The kanban girl who was in charge of taking pictures on the side put down her mobile phone and clutched her chest a little intoxicated: "It's like a real magical girl!" Sure enough, the most suitable image of a magical girl has to be a younger girl! β
The movement here undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people in the store, not only the clerk next to him, but also some customers turned their eyes.
Xia Liang's appearance is quite cute, so the effect after wearing this Lolita skirt is also very good, although it is very different from the original "cornflower" image, but it does not prevent the effect of its upper body has a different style.
Even though the clerks are wearing gorgeous uniforms in the style of magical girls, few of them can wear an effect like Natsuryo, which is also a surprise to many people.
"If you win, you win, give you a 7% discount...... Ah no, 6% off! β
The kanban girl seemed to be quite satisfied with Xia Liang's appearance, and after a period of intoxication, she took the initiative to propose to her: "Do you want to try something else?" β
"Is that okay? That's all for the game, right? β
Xia Liang blinked his eyes quite innocently, as if he was a little embarrassed, and said, "Won't I delay my sisters' work like this?" β
"Other people's words may be considered a delay in work, but yours is fine!"
The kanban girl shook her head again and again, denying Xia Liang's statement: "Look, it's not just me, the clerks around me really want to see you look in other uniforms!" β
As soon as she said this, the surrounding clerks also waved their hands at Xia Liang, and some of them made a gesture of love or gave a thumbs up to express their expectation and encouragement.
"In that case...... Then I'd be respectful and obey! β
In this way, Xia Liang tried on almost half of the magical girl uniforms in the store.
Most of them are the same clothes of well-known magical girls from other places, and there are also a few that are worn by magical girls in Fangting City, among which is the skirt that Delphinium just saw, which belongs to Sakura.
In this regard, the delphinium only showed a little nostalgia at first, but soon calmed down.
The surrounding clerks and customers applauded and cheered from time to time, and some even whistled twice, and then were quickly reminded and warned by the clerk, and then they were honest.
Delphinium sat next to her, without saying a word, and watched the whole process quietly.
It wasn't until Xia Liang felt that he had had enough fun and didn't plan to wear other uniforms, so he changed back into his original clothes and sat back in his original seat.
Seeing her behaving like this, Delphinium thought that she was ready to stop for a while, but this idea had just emerged, and Xia Liang suddenly looked at Delphinium and said:
"Junior, do you want to try it?"
