Walking out into the streets, I began to feel the immense changes that we outlanders have brought to this world. The streets on both sides are now lined with various modern buildings, some of which have been designed to look antique, but... this is clearly a mixture of European and American modern houses. It's like crossing multiple time periods all at once.

"Brother, what kind of clothes do you think I should wear?" Oyado asked me.

"Well... you're asking the wrong person."

I looked around and my gaze landed on a nearby children's clothing store. But I quickly averted my eyes. Oyado wearing children's clothes, although she fits the size, just doesn't seem right.

Anyway, I must shift my gaze before Oyado notices. But looking around, there doesn't seem to be any particularly special stores... Wait, that store over there seems to be selling clothes from our world?

"Let's go, Oyado, over here."

I said, and quickly walked towards that store.

"Eh? Brother?" Oyado hesitated for a moment, then followed.

Entering the store, a warm feeling came over me. This storefront is so familiar, as if certain memories are about to surface.

Well, it would be great if they could really help me regain my memories, but that's not realistic.

"Hello, what kind of clothes are you looking to buy?" The sales assistant politely asked me.

My goodness, the attire of the sales assistant is very similar to those in the department store we visited earlier. Should I be moved?

"Um... do you have any punk clothing?" After surveying the clothes in the store, I asked.

"Punk... um, we don't have those in stock. Would you be interested in vintage clothing?"

"Well, that style is completely different... but I'll make do. Give me five pairs of vintage jeans, five black t-shirts, and also that black coat over there, the gray trench coat, and five Pure White masks from that corner."

"Oh... oh, alright." The sales assistant seemed surprised, but quickly regained composure and hurriedly began packaging the clothes I ordered.

"By the way, do many people buy clothes at this store? These styles shouldn't be easily accepted by the people here, right?"

"Well... there is still quite a lot of business actually. It's just that most of the local colleges have uniforms, so the sales volume isn't very high."

"I see... by the way, who's the owner of this store? I'm curious to know who could create such unique clothes."

Needless to say, the person who made these clothes must be someone from our world, just like me. After all, among the people who came through, there are all sorts, and even if a tailor came, there's nothing particularly unusual about it.

However, if I can establish a good relationship with them, maybe I can convince them to join Blue Moon and make even more money? Although I'm not a direct operator of Blue Moon, I am one of the founders, so I still receive dividends.

"Well... our store manager said that if someone asks, please leave their address and name. If he deems it necessary, he will pay them a visit."

"Oh... Your store manager is really strange, huh?"

I nodded.

"Well, while I'm writing, can you help me decide what kind of clothes would be more suitable for my sister?"

"Your sister..."

The person looked at me, then glanced at Oyado beside me, seeming a bit puzzled.

"Don't worry, she's my adoptive sister."

"I see, I thought there was some regional difference between you two."

"Regional difference..."

This person has really sharp observation skills, but it's only natural to hire someone with good eyesight as a store employee.

"Over here, the clothes are more suitable for younger girls, but your sister seems like she needs some modifications before she can wear them. Is your sister nine years old?"

"No, she's only seven."

I remembered the physical age written in the information I obtained from those guys was seven, and it's only been a couple of weeks, so she shouldn't have grown much.

"Seven... It might be a bit difficult to make modifications then."

Saying that, she scanned Oyado with a device.

After looking at it, she said,

"You can choose the style you like, and we can modify it to fit her size. It will take about a day."

"A day..."

That's quite fast... It also means that the place where the clothes are made is probably not far from here...

"Alright, Oyado, just tell me what kind of clothes you want."

"Um..."

Oyado looked back and forth at the clothes, looking very hesitant.

"Big brother... Help me choose. I'll love anything you choose!"

My goodness, Oyado just melted my heart with that statement. It's simply unfair... This means that I...

"Buy, buy, buy! One of each!"

I pointed at the clothes and said.

"Big brother, that might be too much..."

"It's okay, I'll buy as many as necessary for Oyado!"

"Um..."

The shopkeeper seemed taken aback by me, cleared her throat, and said,

"We have a total of 45 different styles of women's clothing... Um... It will take about 3 days to make the modifications. Is that alright?"

"No problem. You can just deliver them to my house."

I wrote down an address and handed it to her.

"Imperial Academy... Understood. Let's calculate the price, it will be a total of 5356 gold coins. Would you like to pay by card or cash?"

"Although I knew it would be expensive, this price seems like an ordinary person couldn't afford it at all..."

"No, no, actually, on average, one piece costs about 100 gold coins, so you're buying too much, sir."

"Huh? Isn't the average cost for ordinary people just a few hundred or tens of silver coins?"

"It seems like you've just arrived at the Imperial Academy, haven't you? You should know that the prices near the Imperial City are this expensive."

"I see... Alright."

I took out a gold coin and placed it on the ground.

"I'll pay in cash."

Then, while the person was staring at the bag of gold coins in a daze, I picked up my clothes and left the store.

Come on, count slowly, I believe you should be able to finish counting by the end of today.

"Big brother, you're so bad."

Oyado beside me laughed and said.

"Oh, come on, I was just having a little fun. But here's the problem... Where can we find a store where we can directly buy suitable formal attire for you?"

"What are you guys doing here?"

Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice from behind. I turned around and saw Princess Cher and Yaling standing there, watching us.

"That's right!"

Both Oyado and I pointed at them simultaneously.

"We found you!"

"Huh?"

Princess Cher looked puzzled.

"What are you guys doing?"
