45 Lesson 45: Beyond the Curtain (1/2)
Don't forget. I confess to this guy once and I'm flabbergasted.
Remember again.
It was my birthday three years ago.
When I turned twelve, I must have told you how I felt warming up my courage over the years.
I like it.
I want you to be your husband in the future.
Sure, that's what I told him.
But Prine looked lonely after a long face.
”I want Ra to be your brother all the time, not your husband”
First love.
My first heartbreak.
I couldn't sleep that day because of so much shock. I never imagined they'd say no.
Still, I'm going to rethink it and try my best as this guy's fine 'brother'.
”Wow! I have a lot of clothes!
When he entered the specialty magician shop, Prine laughed happily.
More like clothes than protective equipment, like robes, capes, coats on capes. That hangs a lot.
A low-health job, a sorcerer cannot naturally wear armor. More equipment uses special fibers and materials to magically increase defense than physical hardness. And, Dr. Diego taught me.
A seemingly ordinary piece of clothing, a strangely patterned robe, looking at numerous garments, I say.
”That gothic dress is cute too...... not like a defense that can dive up to the 10th level, but you want it a little stronger”
”Yeah! Pretty is good!
”Think seriously. You don't have HP.”
”Yes!”
When me and Prine were walking around the store talking like that,
”Welcome. Looking for something?
A young female clerk called out.
”Er, strong protective gear that can dive to more than ten layers...”
”And I like the cute one, Ra-kun”
”... that's why. Do you have anything that fits this guy?
We don't have time, so let the clerk decide again. Slightly, even if the value is tight, we have no choice but to divide.
Anyway, I definitely need to keep my Paper-Armored Prine defenses up.
”You even have customers who are magicians, don't you?
”Yes, it is”
”How much is your budget?
All I offered was money. [M]
What surprised me was Prine. Sneak ear punch - it won't arrive, so I'll put my face close.
”Ra, Ra, are you that good...?
”Fine. I've still got a lot for Mr. Martina.”
”That's right... But thanks, Ra!
A female clerk nodded.
That's how you stare at Prine.
”Customers... I see that's a brilliant proposition”
”Oh, thank you......”
The shy prine is adorable.
”This could be a little difficult. But let me make the best of it. This way, please.”
and lead the prine to the fitting room. I always follow. [M]
Please wait a moment.
As the prine entered the other side of the little beautiful curtain, the clerk began to tour the store to gather his protective gear.
”Sometimes!
”I ended up getting the clerk to pick me out, okay?
”Yeah! 'Cause Ra's the last one to decide!
”Isn't that you?”
”Eh heh.”
Grinning prine. Sounds fun.
”Thank you for waiting.”
The clerk came back with a bunch of clothes in both hands. Disappear to the other side of the curtain and start helping the prine change.
Of course I'll wait on the spot. I don't know what's going on inside.
Two voices can be heard from the fitting room.
”Take your measurements one more time - well, that's really amazing!
”is embarrassing...”
”I'm sorry. But at the height of the customer, it's a bust... Come on, you must have had a hard time...”
”Yes......”
Shin, the voice of Prine. Seems familiar but manages to talk.
The sound of clothes rubbing is heard, shrugging, shrugging. I guess Prine took off her clothes.
”.................. wow”
”.................. Ugh”
