Ch 112 — Splurging on Clothes

The next day I dedicated to shopping, specifically to buy clothes . The shirts and trousers I had bought the first day I came to this town were more comfortable to wear than I ever imagined . I hadn’t really noticed until now but what I had been wearing previously was stiff and harsh and rubbed against my skin whereas the new items were soft and comfortable like the best cotton clothing . Besides I really needed to wear the sort of clothing the people in this Kingdom wore so that I didn’t stand out, so buying local clothing was a must .

There were a lot of small clothing stores in this town and I decided if I was going to visit several, no, a lot of them to find exactly what I wanted then having Fer, Sui and Dora-chan accompany me would be a mistake so I left them behind in the inn’s beast stables . Dora-chan wasn’t happy at my decision, flying around making buzzing noises and saying “You said you’d make me some delicious food today, you meanie . ”

“Dinner’s later, at night . ” I explained . I put out some food for the Gluttonous Trio to hold them until my return and Dora-chan quietened down in a flash . Lots of tonkatsu sandwiches to start with, still hot from my Item Box followed by some sweet things from the Net Super, anpan, jam-filled and cream-filled buns with assorted drinks, (cola, cider and orange juice) poured out into dishes, enough for the three of them . Dora-chan turned out to be a proud member of the “Sweets Are Good!” party and after sampling the items on offer he clung to my face saying “Wow!”

After gently disengaging Dora-chan from my head I started out on my epic shopping expedition .

I walked down the street looking from side to side trying to decide what shops would be worth spending time in . Fer had been continually pestering me about dungeons so as soon as we received the subjugation request fee and purchase price for the Venom Tarantulas and the Giant Centipede we’d leave here for our next stop, the Dungeon City of Doran . That meant I only had one day left to do all my shopping . Since I was in a hurry I’d just buy what looked good and not dither or comparison shop . My item Box had lots of space and since I didn’t know when I might be able to return to this city to buy more clothes here I planned to stock up with maybe 20 complete outfits .

“Oh, this looks good . ”

While walking down the street, some white shirts and dark grey trousers displayed in a shop window caught my eye so I went in . I noticed them because they looked the same as the good-quality clothes I had bought the day before, not that they stood out for other reasons .
