"Oh wow, it looks really good."

Ellie circled around Fiona in front of the fitting mirror, appreciating the image of the Angel girl with satisfaction.

"Thank you so much, Elly." Aya walked up from behind and ruffled the maid's head, earning a satisfied smile in return. Since she wasn't good at matching outfits, she asked Elly for help, and the result turned out pretty good.

"Well, it was just a small favor. But Fiona is so beautiful, I couldn't help myself... Well then, Aya sister, I'll go ahead." Saying that, Elly hurriedly walked out of the fitting room.

"Aya senpai, I feel a bit uncomfortable in this attire." Fiona frowned slightly as she looked at herself in the mirror.

Fiona was wearing a Barbie-like dress with a small coat on the outside, her golden hair tied up and trailing behind her. Coupled with the holy aura that naturally emanated from her as an Angel, she inexplicably exuded a noble air.

... But it feels a bit dangerous without any panties.

"It looks great, this is how a girl in the human world should look like. Believe in yourself." Aya coughed twice and gave a thumbs up.

"Is that so?" Fiona looked down at her small boots, seeming lost in thought.

Well, there's no other choice. Although it's still a bit revealing, it's much better than before. I should go buy some underwear in Beacon City as soon as possible.

Thirty minutes later, the Dragon Sister with her junior, Angel, boarded the carriage heading to Beacon City-although it took a bit longer, it was risky to attract attention by flying with Angel, so it was better to take it slow.

Fortunately, Gilliast Castle still had regularly available carriages. Otherwise, if Aya had to take Angel with her to take an outside carriage, it would definitely attract a crowd. After all, in terms of appearance, Aya and Angel were both the kind that could make people think of a three-year penalty from the start.

"Aya Miss, it's been a while. And who is this by your side?"

The coachman driving in front had also been serving in the castle for several years. Although he and Aya were only acquaintances, they would exchange a few words when going to Beacon City.

"Our junior, Tiran Miss's new personal maid." Aya patted Fiona's shoulder.

"Oh, is that so? Although I heard about it before, seeing it in person is different. The beauty is on par with Miss Aya and Miss Mimi. It's no wonder she is Tiran Royal's Highness. There are always so many beautiful girls around her."

"Um... thank you." Fiona said softly, "Aya senpai, Tiran Royal's Highness is..."

"She's the Fallen you mentioned." Aya winked.

And Angel's expression became conflicted again.

Spring had started to warm up, and by the time they approached Beacon City, it was close to noon and the sunlight had become intense. Even sitting in the carriage couldn't block the heat.

Aya instinctively moved closer to Fiona. Not because of any particular intention, but simply because... it was cooler.

Perhaps it was due to Angel's racial trait, this child was completely unaffected by rising temperatures and emitted a refreshing feeling all over her body.

"Oh, we've arrived at the South Square. Is Miss Aya planning to get off here as usual?" The coachman in front stopped the carriage and asked.

"Thanks, uncle. Yes, we'll get off here." After responding, Aya got off the carriage with Fiona.

Usually when I come here to get the fan works and figurines from that suspicious "artist" on behalf of Tiran, I would get off here. Of course, today we're not here to pick up anything, but it doesn't matter since Beacon City's commercial district is also close to the South Square.

The moment Angel stepped onto the street, her expression became very interesting. According to Fiona's description of Heaven, the majority of the scenery focused on natural landscapes, and you wouldn't see such a big city like this.

Aya didn't know how Angel saw Beacon City, but the only thing she could be sure of was that this girl had been anxiously clutching her hand the whole way, eagerly looking around like a curious little beast experiencing the world for the first time.

"How does it feel, the mortal realm?" Aya asked quietly, stooping down.

"Although the individual's power is weak, to be able to create a city like this... it's really impressive," Angel nodded earnestly, her gaze constantly jumping between the passing crowd, the carriages on the street, and the stalls by the roadside.

"Stop looking around, we're here."

Aya supported Fiona's shoulder and brought her to the entrance.

"What's this?"

"Department store." Aya pushed Fiona two steps forward, and a blast of cold air immediately hit their faces, dispelling the heat from outside.

Beacon City was a well-known port city across the entire continent, and it naturally had a sizable market. Various goods from different places attracted all kinds of people, and among them, the precious Magic materials were highly valued by Magic practitioners.

Therefore, the Magic Guild established a branch directly in Beacon City, and in exchange for priority procurement of large quantities of Magic materials, it provided the city with significant assistance.

One of the benefits of this department store, which attracted a gathering of cold air, was a large-scale Ice Magic array.

Amidst the crowded crowd, the noise could be heard. In the scorching noon, it seemed that there were quite a few pedestrians entering the department store just to cool down besides shopping.

"There... are so many people." Angel looked up at the department store's ceiling that was tens of meters high, feeling a little dizzy.

"Well... you'll get used to it." Aya didn't really like crowded places either, so she had never been to this department store before. She just came here following Tiran's instructions to find a place. "Let's go inside, there should be fewer people. After we have lunch, we can wander around freely."

...

"Welcome, may I ask what you're looking for, customer..."

"It's nothing, goodbye!"

In front of a clothing store in the department store, Aya blushed and forcefully pushed Angel out of the door.

That guy, Tiran! Aya touched her still hot cheeks and gritted her teeth. What kind of forcefully recommended store was that?! Wasn't it a lingerie store just now?! No wonder the shop assistant had a subtle expression when she saw the two of them, she must have thought they were promiscuous women!

Wait, I'm not a woman, right? Thinking about this again, Aya's brain trembled. Ahhh, Aya, wake up a little! Don't give in easily!

"That guy really can't be relied on, I'll just find it myself..."

Angel was relatively petite, her height barely reaching 1.6 meters when her upturned bangs were taken into account. When she held her hand, Aya always felt like she was leading a large toddler, or rather, like a parent taking a child shopping.

Fiona was looking around curiously, while Aya discreetly glanced at the girl's chest.

Don't misunderstand, there's a legitimate reason for this. How can you buy underwear without knowing the size? Though saying this makes it seem like I'm a pervert, Aya has no choice. Angel, this girl with no common sense, definitely wouldn't buy underwear for herself. In the end, she has to rely on me.

Comforting herself in her heart, Aya turned to look again, seriously this time, for three seconds.

...Bigger than Tiran. Aya blinked and almost burst out laughing. Not saying it's huge, but at least it's average. Compared to the princess, who is already seventeen but hasn't developed at all, it's really pitiful.

But thinking about it, too mature doesn't seem appropriate. It's better to go for a girlish style. Aya nodded in satisfaction as she pondered.

"Aya senpai, I sense that you're thinking about something strange," Fiona suddenly said.

"Y-yes? It must be an illusion, it can't be true." Aya felt a pang in her heart. Wow, Angel's intuition is so sharp?

Speaking of children, Chirp has also grown a bit since returning from Sainz. Although it's uncertain whether we can judge her by the standards of an ordinary girl, she should be about at the age for development to start, right? Maybe we should buy together... No, wait, if Chirp needs it, Mimi will probably be eager to help.

Wait, why am I automatically assuming the role of a parent?

...

"Welcome~ This little sister is so pretty that boys would surely like her. Would you like to come help us at our store? With your qualifications, you can start at a minimum of three hundred gold coins, and success in life is just around the corner..."

"Hey, isn't this a clothing store? Why are you saying those lines? And that starting from three hundred sounds suspicious!"

"Sorry, I made a mistake. Would this customer like to try on our latest clothes? It's rare to see such a beautiful girl."

The shop assistant coughed twice and put on a serious expression.

After thinking for a moment, Aya decided not to delve into the issue of messing up lines but instead rubbed Fiona's head beside her. "It's not me, choose a few outfits for this little brat, including underwear."

"...Your daughter?" Seeing Aya's natural movements and Fiona's instinctive squinting eyes showing a satisfied expression, the shop assistant hesitated for a moment before asking.

"I—" Aya suddenly felt a surge of blood rushing to her chest. Perfect timing, she lowered her head and met Angel's adorable expression, looking up at a 45-degree angle.

"M...mommy?"

"Don't follow along with the nonsense."

Chirp is one thing, but another one? My head hurts, it really hurts.

After this little episode, things finally quieted down. The shop assistant took Fiona to pick out clothes, while Aya leaned against the wall and waited.

Seeing Angel enter the fitting room with the clothes, Aya suddenly thought of a very annoying thing.

Angel didn't wear a bra when she came—→she will definitely be wearing the newly bought bra later—→once that is noticed, she will surely be seen as a pervert.

Holy f***!

Aya, with her head in her hands, weakly knelt to the ground.

And as a certain bitter chicken soup saying goes, don't lament being tripped up by fate, because in the near future, fate will give you a set of 720-degree Thomas full-spin mid-air flips with no blind spots, resulting in a critical hit.

The only thing that wasn't expected was the crit strike coming so soon.
