Chapter 877 A Date part 2
"There is no Magic here. All of this is a product of human ingenuity.", reminded Kisuke.
As soon as they entered, one of the store clerks came and greeted them, "Good morning, sir, ma\'am. How may I help you today?"
Kisuke pointed to Riveria and replied, "Help her choose a few attires for her day-to-day life. I don\'t know much about a woman\'s fashion so I\'ll leave it to you."
The clerk happily grabbed Riveria\'s arm while saying, "Then please wait here, sir. I\'ll choose the best for your beautiful girlfriend."
"Eh...?" Riveria was shocked by the vigor of the clerk that she could only be pulled away and not even being able to deny her words.
"Riveria-san. Please make sure to tell her your preferences." Kisuke raised his voice for the last time before the excited clerk and Riveria disappeared among the aisles of clothing. Their arrival managed to attract almost everyone\'s attention with the men being envious of Kisuke because of Riveria and women being envious because their partners don\'t have the capability to just let them choose whatever and however much they want.
However, Kisuke underestimated how much time women could take in choosing and finding clothes for themselves as it took almost an hour before the clerk came running back to fetch him and dragged him in front of one of the changing rooms, "Sir, I\'m sorry for taking so much time. I noticed that your girlfriend is wearing an old fa- er... I mean a rather peculiar set of underwear, so I took her first to our sister store next door to change into something different. We got into a bit of heated conversation over there so we kinda forgot about you for a moment."
Knowing how modest Riveria was, Kisuke could understand, "It\'s alright. Rather, it\'s nice of you to all the way with service."
The clerk beamed while making an okay sign with her hand, "Because I think you\'ll make it all worth it, sir~" The clerk is a little bit too honest.
Nevertheless, Kisuke never hated that and passed her his black card, "Give her a few more sets of those. I\'ll leave the variety to you."
The clerk\'s eyes shone and unhesitantly grabbed the card before running off, "Roger that, sir~! I\'ll also bring a few pairs of shoes from another store if that\'s okay with you!" Before Kisuke could give an answer, the girl already disappeared, \'Well, she won\'t be able to work in this industry if she decided to trick me.\'
At that moment, the door to the changing room opened, "Excuse me... D-did I wear it correctly?... Hmmm? Kisuke!? What are you doing here!?"
Riveria tried to close the door again but Kisuke caught it with his hand, "Hold on. Don\'t hide now. If you\'ve decided to take that, you\'ll be walking around the town in it so no need to get embarrassed."
"But I don\'t know if I\'m doing it right!"
"So, I\'m here to assist. I may not know about fashion, but I know the difference between proper fashion and great fashion if I see it."
Riveria stalled. Up until now, she had always been wearing several layers of long clothing that hid most of her body shape and didn\'t really know how Kisuke would react if he were to see someone as old as her wearing an attire that was clearly for young people as she had seen on the streets. Her long cultivated Elven way and personal modesty hadd become a slight inferiority complex. Although, she seems to have never noticed that she\'ll only have these kinds of thoughts if she wanted to impress Kisuke in the first place.
"Hmmm... I don\'t think I really have to say this since it\'s something very obvious, but even for me who doesn\'t really care about appearance, you are no doubt, one of the most attractive and beautiful women I\'ve ever met, and the way you carry yourself only multiplies that. So whatever that clerk recommended to you, I think it\'ll look great on you..." Kisuke paused for a moment and rubbed his chin, "Wait... Now that I thought back, that sounded cheesy... In any case, you really don\'t have to worry... Or... Are you actually bothered by you ag- Woah!"
The door suddenly swung open and almost hit Kisuke\'s nose if he didn\'t dodge in time, "Enough! I\'m not the tiniest bothered by it!"
\'So that\'s worrying you. Geez. She\'s too mindful of her age for an Elf. I wonder how she\'ll react if she were to know that Devils have an average lifespan of 10,000 years and she could become one.\' Kisuke thought while finally being able to look at Riveria.
The black blazer on top of a high-neck blouse with a navy blue, white, and black horizontal stripe pattern matched with skinny jeans gave Riveria an elegant office worker vibe. But because of her constantly rubbing her knees, covering the front of her body with her arm, and the slight flush on her face while occasionally looking towards Kisuke\'s direction, a cutesy vibe was added to her.
Those around also stopped what they were doing to marvel at the beauty of the contrasting atmosphere, questioning themselves on how the hell was that possible. With a face like hers, it just wasn\'t fair.
Riveria never noticed these people and just impatiently and nervously waited for Kisuke\'s response. So when he finally spoke up, a large smile crept to her face, "I knew it. You look great. Let\'s get that one."
Riveria sighed in relief and was about to look for the clerk but Kisuke suddenly picked up one of the clothes recommended to her and passed it to her, "Now try the next one."
"W-why? Am I not getting this?"
"What are you talking about? Since we\'re already here, we\'ll take everything that looks good on you. Don\'t worry. It\'s my treat."
Riveria was reluctant at first, but considering that it was Kisuke\'s treat, she smirked at him, "I\'ll definitely put a dent in your wallet."
"Hooh~? You\'re welcome to try~!"
Riveria then kept trying out different outfits and would always receive a positive response from Kisuke. As the Elf started enjoying dressing up, a small crowd had also gathered before the clerk finally returned with bags containing underwear and a few sets of shoes.
It didn\'t take too long before the entire store became noisy and the free clerks also started assisting them by fetching clothes they thought would suit Riveria, with some of them even going to other stores to get some shoes, accessories, headwear, and bags that would match each and every outfit.
That day, the store saw a very steep revenue spike and all the workers there celebrated with barbeque and booze using a part of their commission.
It was also that day that a rumor about a rich playboy wearing traditional Japanese attire threw money like it was nothing for his Goddess.
