Chapter 539 Whispers and Trying on Clothes

Forcing things too much means that you can't force them.

Hilfi and Loki didn't have as many worries about not being able to force their bodies to fit.

If they came back from the future, wearing Aisha's ankle-length dress, and grew up in place, they would become girls around twenty years old.

Sylphie, whose development started earlier but whose growth stagnates earlier, might still have a chance to turn this long dress into a knee-length skirt.

But what about Luo Qixi?
Haha, that would be quite a show!

The difference between 1.2 meters and 1.45 meters is only the length of a head.

The long skirt was still a long skirt, with the hemline not even reaching above the knee.

This is just the length of the skirt. In a sense, what's worse is that, whether it's Hilfi or Loki, their upper bodies are probably not much different.

Unlike Aisha, who possesses an enviable bust inherited from Lilia.

As a result, the area around the chest of the skirt has undergone a certain spherical distortion.
This is the real reason why she crossed her arms, not because Aisha was arrogant.

"There's no rush. Let's change our clothes first, and then find a place to talk slowly."

Allen knew this, of course. He looked at Alstead and shielded Aisha behind him.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Aisha behind him immediately stretched out her two hands and grabbed Allen's shoulders with a snap.

Her original little leather boots had to be turned into slippers because her feet had grown bigger. The tiny blue veins on the instep of her feet bulged slightly. She strained her arches and raised her heels seven centimeters off the ground, accompanied by the swaying of her short skirt that reached mid-thigh.

He leaned close to Allen's ear.

Only when the two plump lumps of water in front of him were pressed down and overflowed in a circle around them did he finally manage to bring the tip of his nose close to Allen's ear.

It seems she wanted to whisper something to Allen:
"But brother, I don't have any clothes."

Allen:
I don't know if it was because the topic became too private, or because I was influenced by Aisha's whispers, or because I was a little distracted.
Or maybe.
The scene where Aisha appeared by magic, shielded the victim from a knife, and turned into dust was too regrettable, profound, and unforgettable.

Allen felt a little nervous.

Even though this act of shielding someone later became a predictable scheme under the influence of Alstead and Rudy, Allen could still judge just how significant the choice itself was.

—Based on the half-hearted explanations given by Alsteed and Aisha earlier, it's clear that she was truly prepared to risk her life to buy him time to escape his predicament before the time magic.

At this moment, as Aisha lay on Allen's back, he felt uncomfortable no matter what, as if insects were crawling all over his body.

But it was precisely this appearance that gave Allen a real sense of relief that 'Aisha is still alive'.

With that thought in mind, four words suddenly popped into Allen's mind.

drawbridge effect.

My emotional fluctuations at this moment largely depend on the suspension bridge effect I experienced from witnessing that scene.

but
Now, now that he has been off the 'suspension bridge' for so long.

I recalled what had just happened.
Why do I still find it so captivating?

"Brother, what should we do?"

Aisha's three consecutive sentences sounded as if she were hunting down Eren.

The moment Allen felt Aisha's soft body, he naturally focused his nerves entirely on his neck, but precisely because of this, Aisha's warm breath, which patted behind his ear, made him feel even hotter.

Her voice, as if alive, clung damply to the hairs behind Allen's ear, traveling over mountains and valleys, softly creeping into his ear canal.

Allen stiffened his neck, feeling as if he had transformed into the armored figures he had seen before the audience last night.

My back is stiff, my neck is stiff, and even my speech has become stiff.

He completely lacked the composure one would expect when speaking to Orster, the number one person below the true god; he was as stiff as Kyosuke from Oreimo.

"I said, I love you, Xia."

Yes, first tell Aisha not to stick so close to you.

Allen instinctively wanted to say that, but he quickly held back.

Alster is an outsider. Wouldn't it embarrass Aisha by 'scolding' her in front of him?

Aisha is quite proud; perhaps it would be more appropriate to put it more tactfully?
But is it really appropriate to say these words out loud?
Would it be better not to say anything?
After all, you can't educate Aisha like you would Alice, the little joker.
The two have different relationships with Allen and very different personalities, so their ways of communicating should also be different.

Um... How did you interact with Aisha before? Oh right, Aisha was a 'child' before, so she didn't have many concerns, and she always pretended to be childish, so the interaction was very natural.

It's best to be more serious and formal, look her in the eyes and speak to her.

Show your dignity as the elder brother everyone relies on.

Yes, that's right, that's how it should be.
Allen turned slightly to look at Aisha.

However, when a human tilts their head, their back also moves slightly.

Allen himself is a water god of the sensory type, so no matter how blurred his senses are, he simply cannot completely ignore his sense of touch.

With just a slight movement of his neck, Allen felt the water droplets sliding down his back. He stiffened, and in an awkward posture, he turned his neck to bring his face close to Aisha's.

In his line of sight—Aisha was looking at him with a natural expression.

Allen didn't move, but she shifted her upper body slightly to make eye contact with him.

They didn't feel any problem at all that their bodies were in closer contact because there was no proper bra separating them.
Looking into Aisha's eyes, for some reason, the serious words that Eren was about to say suddenly took a different turn:
"Of course I know what you're talking about, which is why I said I could go to the store to buy clothes if I wanted to change."

Aisha chuckled: "Oh, I see. Where can I buy it then?"

Allen turned his head: "Look, there's a clothing store to the right. Hmm???" Aisha saw Allen's expression change drastically and chuckled inwardly, leisurely following Allen's gaze.

There happened to be a clothing store about 600 meters away on the street. The shopkeeper had been secretly observing the three people, but at this moment, he was frightened for some reason. His body went limp, and he slammed the door shut with a bang, seemingly locking it from the inside.

Aisha turned to look at Orstide in front of her.

Unbeknownst to them, the latter was already gazing at the clothing store from afar. He reached into his pocket and even pulled out a few gold coins. Upon seeing this, he paused slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Aisha added insult to injury in Alan's ear: "Oh, there is a clothing store, but the owner seems to be terrified by Alsterd's curse."

Allen raised an eyebrow and glanced at her sideways: "Speaking of which, aren't you afraid of his curse? Shouldn't Alster be hated equally by all creatures in the human world?"

Alsteid:
Aisha pouted: "I was scared, so I used magic to isolate my senses from Alsteed. In my vision, Alsteed's location was just a distorted mass of somewhat repulsive magic."

If it were magic, it would only discourage people from using it, not evoke my fear.

Alsteid:
He was silent for a moment, then gripped the gold coins tightly and said with a stern face, "Come with me."

Ellen/Aisha: ? ? ? ?

Then, Alsteed, who had just been in front of him, seemed to burst out of the air like a wisp of smoke, and in the blink of an eye, he was already standing at the entrance of the clothing store.

Then, under the gaze of Allen and Aisha.

Reach out and grasp the doorknob.

Apply force, and then.

With a loud crash, the locked door was yanked down completely!
He threw some money at the shopkeeper inside who was leaking urine and had been forced to accept the fear buff. After watching the shopkeeper faint on the spot, he remained silent for a moment before turning around and waving to Allen and Aisha.

His tall, upright figure and expressionless demeanor made it seem as if Murong Yunhai, who had booked the entire Metersbonwe store and was now displaying his peacock feathers, was arrogantly inviting Chu Yuxun to come in and have a seat.

Although the shop owner was unconscious, the good news was that this clothing store, located in a prime location not far from the Temple of Milis, was a fashion store targeting the middle class of the Dragon Kingdom, rather than the kind of casual wear store that sells clothes for adventurers.

Men's clothing hangs on the left: shirts, hunting jackets, formal wear. There are even accessories like canes and monocles.

In terms of style, it is divided into two parts. Most of them are very loose and draped styles in the style of the Dragon Kingdom, and a small part is more fitted and leans more towards the British style of Asura.

That's right, this clothing store even has imported goods from Asura.

Upon witnessing this scene, Alster quietly took out two more gold coins from his pocket and threw them onto the belly of the slumped boss. Then, he casually picked out a gray-green coat, turned around, and walked out of the clothing store with a sense of propriety.

Aisha went to the shop owner's bedroom first and washed up using the tap water.

—Although Allen and Alstead's clothes were tattered, they didn't look dirty because of the flow of their inner energy.

But Aisha was different; before she grew up, she rolled around on the ground several times, her face and legs were all dirty.

While waiting, Allen picked out a loose shirt and put it on.

Just as he buttoned up his clothes, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and Aisha grabbed his arm and pulled him toward the women's clothing section.

Allen's lips twitched. Seeing that Alstead was already avoiding suspicion, and that her demeanor and posture were much more natural than before, Allen still hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Um... before choosing clothes, shouldn't we first..."

Aisha's face was filled with inexplicable excitement, and she smiled broadly: "Yes, let's pick out underwear first. But brother, do you know that in the high-end clothing stores of the Dragon Kingdom, there is a special area for underwear? It's at the very end of the men's and women's clothing area, in a separate compartment where underwear is displayed."

This is more private, since neither men nor women want to expose their genitals to the opposite sex.

As she said this, Aisha blinked and turned her head to look at Allen.

Allen's face stiffened as he looked around at the clothes and said, "So why did you drag me here???"

Aisha chuckled: "With brother's flow of energy, size can't be hidden, can it?"

Allen felt sweat starting to bead on his neck: "Because it's unnecessary, there's no need to be shy?"

Aisha nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course!"

But Allen flicked her forehead with his hand.

Aisha wrinkled her nose, pulled one of her hands away from Allen's arm, pressed it to her forehead, and pretended to be in pain by baring her teeth.

Allen ignored him.

Aisha glanced at him sideways: "Okay, actually I wanted to ask Brother Allen to help me pick out an outer garment, so we could try them on together and show them to him."

Allen had actually been observing while the two were walking around.

The women's clothing section had a much wider variety than the men's clothing section, with skirts of all lengths, all kinds of dresses, and a wide variety of boots. Some of the clothes racks even had decorative pendants hanging on them, and the racks were filled with spices that made you want to keep browsing.

Allen glanced over, then his eyes lit up. Instead, he pulled Aisha forward a couple of steps and pulled a long dress out of the clothes rack.

—Asura style.

Her eyes were a simple, all-black color, but Ellen felt that black suited Aisha better because she had long, burgundy hair that reached her waist, which, combined with her skin tone, would make her look elegant and sophisticated.

The length is about to Aisha's calf bend; it's not a fitted style, but rather a bit loose.

Unlike the monotonous color, it is quite stylish: the cuffs just cover the elbows, the petal-shaped cuffs are inspired by the petals of the nightingale flower, and the fabric at the chest is a bit loose, leaving enough room for the chest below.

The waist is designed to be gathered, not in the kind of piled-up pleats and hand-sewn pleats, but with a clean and crisp dart waist made of dark gold thread, creating a three-dimensional fit. Thanks to this, while the waist is cinched, the skirt at the hips and legs also has a nice drape.

Allen smiled and said, "This one is nice, it's in the Asura style, simple yet with a sense of design, it suits Aisha very well."

Aisha blinked, took the dress from Allen, and reached out, slipping her hand under the dress's waistline, much to Allen's sudden, widening gaze.
Then, feeling around in the space left in the front of the shirt, he narrowed his eyes into crescents and glanced at Allen with a grin:
"Look, bringing my brother along was absolutely the right choice. His taste is impeccable, just look at this size—precise, perfect, just right! With the flow of energy, everything is so perfect. My brother truly has discerning eyes."

Allen quickly covered her mouth: "Stop talking!"
