"Ten thousand... ten thousand..."

All the way, Lilith kept muttering the word "ten thousand". I felt guilty seeing her like this. She was perfectly fine before, but what if I scared her into madness?

"I have to ask, is your sister always like this, mumbling to herself?"

Aliyah poked me in the back and asked.

"No, it's just the prolonged poverty and the stark contrast that probably overwhelmed her."

"One gold coin can buy five years' worth of flour... how many can ten thousand gold coins buy... hehehe..."

Suddenly, I heard her change her lines, but upon closer listening, she startled me once again.

This is too scary; it seems I have to be more tactful in the future. At least... saying it's a hundred gold coins should suffice, probably, if there's a next time.

"Alright, sister, stop muttering. By the way, what kind of clothes do you like?"

"Well..."

She seemed to snap out of it slightly, then looked around.

"Oh, how did we end up here? The clothes here are not cheap."

"Well..."

Indeed, we were now in the largest commercial street in the vicinity, and it was the most expensive... yes, this place was undoubtedly the most expensive, but besides here, I didn't know where else we could shop.

After all, I haven't had the time to find out where the black markets or similar places are in this area.

"Don't worry, sister, think about it. I'm a student of the Imperial Academy now; I have to dress decently, don't I?"

"Well... that's true, but as for me, as long as it's sturdy and durable, it's fine."

Seeing Lilith smile and say these words to me, I felt a fatal blow. Turning my head, I saw the others nearby with expressions similar to mine.

In front of such simple people, I suddenly realized that I had spent countless gold coins on various strange things in the past. This sense of guilt overwhelmed me.

"Feilia, what's the matter with you?"

Perhaps seeing my pained expression, Lilith asked worriedly.

"It's nothing, just suddenly overwhelmed with thoughts. Anyway, since neither of us is an expert, we can only rely on them."

As I said that, I looked at Aliyah, Oyado, and Hei Luoli.

"Of course! Of course, no problem, big brother... no, Lady Sister! This small matter is completely fine!"

Countless golden stars appeared in Oyado's eyes, and she happily responded.

Meanwhile, Aliyah, standing beside her, had already begun nodding and scouting for shops in the surroundings.

But...

While they were doing all this, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed our arms, pulling us backwards.

"Hey... Hei Luoli, what are you..."

That's right, it was Hei Luoli, and I didn't even realize that she had such speed. She had already grabbed me before I could react.

"Relax, come, sister, let me take you to my favorite store~"

Looking at Hei Luoli's expression, I started sweating profusely from my back.

Did I... just do something that I may regret for the rest of my life?

--------------------------------No good story ideas, no updates-----------------------------------

Yes, I did something truly terrifying. And just how terrifying it was, I only realized in less than ten minutes.

"I say... why did you choose a long dress for Lilyss, but a dress suit with a miniskirt for me?"

Looking at myself in the mirror, I suddenly had a strange feeling.

The biggest reason for this feeling should be because I was originally male.

Yes, seeing myself in a blue miniskirt in the mirror, I suddenly felt a flutter in my heart.

Well, it should be attributed to my own Felia's figure, which is quite good, plus the reason of exercising outside for a long time, it always gives a feeling of trustworthiness and great temptation.

Oh no... I was actually charmed by myself, can this be true?

"Um... is there..."

"Don't change it, this is good!"

Aliyah and Oyado nodded crazily beside me, while the main culprit, Hei Luoli, had already started shopping for herself.

"Yeah, Lady Sister, just wear this!"

"But this looks too fancy..."

Looking at the lace on the skirt, I felt a mixture of emotions.

"And what's with these white stockings? This kind of texture..."

"This is the essence of this outfit!"

Shopping maniac Hei Luoli rushed over to me, grabbed my shoulders and said.

"This outfit with white stockings is something I've always wanted to try. If I weren't so skinny and felt nothing, I would have changed into it long ago!"

"Are you saying I'm actually fat?"

"No no no, you're just right! I'm just too active, so I can't gain weight."

I felt that some women in the shop had quietly taken out notebooks to write down what she said. What's there to write down? Isn't this common sense?

"Um..."

Lilith, who was wearing a new white dress beside me, suddenly spoke up.

"I think this really suits Felia, it has a kind of idol feeling!"

"I... idol?"

The corners of my mouth twitched.

"She means those girls who have been holding concerts in the Metropolitan Hall recently. I feel that Felia now has that kind of presence."

"Ah ah ah!"

I started to go crazy in place.

"Please! Just give me convenient clothes and pants to wear. These clothes really don't suit me."

"Well, you see, your sister also didn't accept it at first, but now she's very happy wearing it, right?"

"Miss Hei Luoli..."

Lilith blushed suddenly.

Indeed, Lilith was initially quite opposed to the new clothes, but after putting them on, she didn't want to take them off anymore.

But this is different from my situation. Lilith doesn't wear it because the clothes cost one gold coin, but I don't wear it because... my soul is male! If I am bound by this light and floaty dress, I will become strange one day!

And this kind of miniskirt... this kind of miniskirt...

The lower half of my body feels chilly... is it really okay? It feels terrible...

"Well... actually..."

The store clerk next to me hesitated to speak many times, and now finally spoke up.

"We have a new set of female mage warrior's outfits here, would you like to try it? It... the lower half is black stockings, which many people still can't accept, but it basically meets your requirements."

"Hurry up! Bring it out for me to try!"

I said, banging the table.

Anything is better than this, right?

"Okay... Okay." The shopkeeper seemed startled by me and quickly went inside to retrieve the goods.

I turned to look at the others, but they didn't have any special expressions on their faces.

"Well..." Aliyah said, "At least I'm wearing a dress and black stockings, not bad."

What do you guys really want...

Before long, the shopkeeper brought the clothes over, and they looked pretty good.

"This set of clothes has two pieces, one is a leather sheath to hold the sword at the back, and the other is a bag to hang the magic book. So... would you like to try it on now, sir?"

"Well, of course... and I'll also buy this set I'm wearing now, just in case it comes in handy."

"Okay... Okay." The shopkeeper was naturally very happy to make money, and I went into the dressing room with the clothes.

And just as I entered the room, out of my sight, Aliyah and Oyado exchanged a smile.

"Nicely done!"

"Hehehe~"
