"Tsk, reduce it a bit, fifty seconds."

"Boss, are you robbing me? Even if it's just one second, it's worth thousands of gold coins?" Xiao Mo firmly refused.

Roger made a pained expression, "You should have told me earlier that you came to work to sponsor Xda's project. If I had known, I would have formed a partnership."

In the end, the negotiated result was that Roger obtained half a minute of driving rights, and the cost was the original salary owed to Xiao Mo plus an additional sixty thousand gold coins in sponsorship.

"Why should I be the one to pay when it was you who slacked off first!"

Transferring money to Xiao Mo's account using a gold coin card, Roger lamented while covering his face.

"Hmph, who told you to expose your true thoughts? Revealing your bottom line in negotiations is just giving it away for free." The lazy employee gloated as he received the money, hands on hips. "Besides, slacking off wasn't really my fault, there's no business during daytime at the shop anyway."

"I'll include you in my list one day..." mumbled Roger to himself.

While the boss and employees were haggling over Xda's driving rights, Aya had already been dragged aside by Tiran and Vivian to try on clothes. Although Roger's clothing in the shop was quite unconventional, both of them refused to enter the fitting room. At this moment, Aya proved to be useful once again.

The princess couldn't help but marvel at the convenience of Aya's magic. Aya's scales could transform into any style of clothing, without the need to change outfits. With the help of the Dragon talent, even her figure could be replicated instantly to see the effect of the clothes.

Thus began the fitting miracle, with Aya changing clothes every few seconds while Tiran and Vivian evaluated each outfit almost instantly.

Then Aya got overwhelmed.

Initially blushing shyly when trying on outfits like shorts, tube tops, and fishnet stockings, she eventually shrugged and lay down on the ground, scanning outfits like a scanner and transforming them onto her body, becoming an emotionless dress-up model.

Isn't this beyond the duties of a maid? Mimi, I need a raise!

"Wow, this is amazing, so gorgeous."

As a new set of clothes were put on, Vivian reached out to touch the long skirt's hem with lace edging, murmuring in admiration, "Even my mother didn't wear such a splendid outfit for her wedding. I can't believe Tiran is so interested in this kind of thing too..."

"I-I just saw one set over there, so I wanted to see how it looked. Don't think too much about it!" Tiran blushed and quickly explained, muttering under her breath, "But... it does look really good..."

"Oh, this design was actually something I came up with while sketching. I couldn't figure out the details in my mind, so I made one to draw from. It was just a side project, wasn't planning to sell it."

After resolving the Xda issue with Xiao Mo, Roger finally had time to attend to the guests. Seeing Aya replicate the exact same outfit, the shop owner couldn't help but marvel.

"Indeed, quite impressive," the calm princess examined carefully, lightly touching the skirt's lacy and fluffy effect. "This lacey effect is also part of the scale transformation, so versatile, isn't it?"

"Huh...?"

The emotionless dress-up model seemed to regain a hint of flavor and glanced down at the attire on her body, coming out of her daze.

If there were no misconceptions about human knowledge, this was probably... a wedding dress?

Pure white like snow, fluffy like clouds, the exposed shoulders were as clean and flawless as jade, showing a slight blush, making people want to say the word "marriage."

Even Aya herself hesitated when seeing her reflection in the mirror.

Who is this?

Wait, isn't this me?!

Noticing everyone around looking at her in a strange way, Aya finally realized something was wrong.

"Why is it a wedding dress!"

Honestly, the impact of a wedding dress on Aya was probably greater than giving him a sailor suit, a Gothic Lolita dress, or even some unauthorized and banned outfits.

Similar to the holy light during the Magical Girl transformation, the pure white bridal gown on Aya shimmered for a moment before reverting back to her original maid outfit, still somewhat breathless and clutching her chest, as if she had just completed a series of extreme operations.

"Huh...wear it a bit longer, I wanted to see more of Bride Aya." Vivian sighed regretfully, and Tiran, now questioning Roger with a suspicious look, "So why did your drawing have a wedding dress? Aren't you always drawing original or fan-made adult comics?"

"I occasionally draw some high-quality illustrations, don't make it sound like I'm a pervy shut-in obsessed with adult content." Roger fixed his hair and replied.

But aren't you?

"It's written all over your face!" Feeling misunderstood, the manager sadly turned away, "It seems us otaku are marginalized by society, even our normal hobbies are misunderstood. Oh well, since it's pointless to keep it, might as well destroy it."

As he spoke, he took out a pair of tailor's shears, approaching the original bridal dress on the wall with a pained expression.

"Huh? Cut it directly?"

It was instead the princess who was speechless, starting to doubt if she had said something wrong. People with strong artistic temperaments may indeed destroy a work if its value isn't recognized.

But then I won't be able to wear it, right?

This was the only thought in Silver War Maiden's mind at the moment.

"Wait a minute! I put in so much effort to make it..."

"If it's not recognized, it's not worth it! To others, it's just a piece of work created by a delusional shut-in obsessed with adult content." Roger grit his teeth sadly, scissors almost touching the falling hem.

"But, but! Ah...that..."

Tiran's mind fell into chaos, her eyes fixed on the glinting scissors.

"I'll buy it! I'll buy it, is that okay?" The helpless princess gave up and shouted loudly with her eyes closed.

Silence.

There was no sound of the blade cutting through the fabric. Nervously, Tiran opened her eyes.

"Alright, thank you, Miss Tiran, for your support. We will prepare to pack it for you right away! Our shop offers alteration services for a special price of sixty thousand gold coins!" The shop owner's change of attitude was quite remarkable.
