Chapter 230 (1/2)
It wasn't easy for them to walk in human form. When they finally arrived at the shop, they could see it was surprisingly neat. The door was made of quality glass and the sign was written cleanly in white paint. However, it only scared them.
"Wouldn't they kick us out?"
They were wearing clothes of the adventurers they had killed for trespassing their mistress's territory. And since adventurers never wore decent clothes, they were practically wearing rags.
But until now, it had been their only way to acquire human clothes. Of course, they could steal from people, but they had the pride as their mistress's underlings and didn't want to steal anything.
"I think they would."
Snow was immediately overwhelmed by the neatly dressed customers and saleswoman. She worried they might only get humiliated in there.
However, Blanco was just eager to reach those piles of clothes.
"If they tell us to get out, I will kick them out."
"But this isn't our mistress's territory. We can't do as we please."
"Even Madam Berry will compliment what I'm about to do! She said designers should welcome all customers."
Blanco acted as if Presa was Madam Berry's territory and she was her underling. Snow wanted to point out the fact, but she didn't.
She was also excited every time the saleswoman showed to the customers a dress. They all looked so pretty, and she was eager to take a closer look.
"They'll buy it if we say we're here to buy dresses for our wives. Although adventurers dress poorly, they always carry a lot of cash."
"But wouldn't they be suspicious of them? Adventurers might lose all their money at gambling houses, but they would never buy dresses for their wives."
"There are at least a few exceptions in every group. We can show them we have enough money, and they won't kick us out. It always works well at fabric shops."
The two underlings checked their wallets and went inside. The clear sound of a bell echoed as they opened the door.
"Welcome!"
Thankfully, the saleswoman didn't kick them out but welcomed them with a kind smile. Showing off their heavy wallets had been the right choice.
"I'm here to buy dresses for my wife. First, show me the best dress you have!"
"Of course, here it is."
The woman took out the most expensive dress in the shop and showed it to the excited Snow. It was made of silk ribbons and laces, and they had seen such dresses only in pamphlets. Snow immediately decided to buy it.
"I want to buy the biggest size you have."
"The biggest? But that's really… big. It won't fit your wife."
"How big it is?"
"Only someone who is three meters tall can wear it."
It clearly wasn't a size for humans. Why on earth had Madam Berry made such a thing? She even sent it to the shop to be sold.
Was she trying a weird thing for promotion effects? Anyway, the saleswoman had to explain about it every time a customer wanted the biggest size, so she really didn't like the extra work.
"I want it! My wife is that size."
"What? Your wife is three meters tall?"
"Yes."
They didn't have time to waste. Their transformation wasn't going to last long. It made Snow impatient and she showed her wallet first. The saleswoman thought it would be full of silver coins, but what she took out were shining gold coins.
"I will wrap it up for you."
No salesperson could resist the temptation of gold coins. The woman stopped thinking and started wrapping. Blanco went to her with a dress and carefully asked, "Is this the dress Ms. Grace wears?"
"Yes. It's in a different color and material, but the same design. But it's a dress for unmarried girls, so it won't be appropriate for your wife…"
"Marital status doesn't matter in fashion! Wrap me ten of this dress, the biggest size."
Blanco eventually lost control at hearing it was the dress Grace wore.
"Ten? Do you really need that much?"
"Yes, I need at least that much, for myself and as a present for my friends."
"What? You're going to wear it yourself?"
Blanco made a slip of tongue in excitement, and Snow quickly tried to take care of it.
