Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation: Succubus Sword God? I don't recognize it!

Chapter 540 Maid Outfit and Sunlight

"See, bringing my brother along was the right choice."

I won't go into detail about my brother's aesthetic sense, but just look at the size—precise, perfect, just right.

Under the influence of this inspiration, everything seemed so perfect; what keen insight!

Allen's expression changed drastically. He reached out and covered Aisha's mouth with his hand: "Stop talking!"

Aisha stumbled and almost lost her balance, but she didn't resist at all, just blinked at him.

This only made Allen feel more clearly that he, as the older brother, was being teased. He stared at Aisha's face, gritted his teeth, and earnestly lectured her:

"That's just a subconscious judgment made by the flow of the senses; don't overanalyze it."

But it was less of an education and more of a justification.

However, the moment he finished speaking, Allen felt Aisha open her mouth and gently bite his palm.

He stopped abruptly, raised an eyebrow, and before he could speak, Aisha preemptively asked, "Etiquette and lines? Um... is that a term used in your brother's world?"

Alan was interrupted and subconsciously explained, "It's not about etiquette, it's just about pinning on some high-sounding but unfounded accusations."

Aisha let out a soft "oh~", one hand still holding onto Allen's arm, the other lifting the black dress. She brought her face close to Allen's, blinking her eyes as she asked:

"A high-sounding but unfounded accusation? I didn't mean to blame my brother. It was praise, a sincere compliment. My brother's eyes are like a measuring tape, saving us the trouble of trying on clothes all the time."

Allen:
Aisha chuckled at Alan's twitching lips, then dragged him along as they continued exploring the shop.
"Alright, alright, Master, let's continue shopping."

Allen: "??"

Aisha's expression was natural, as if the word 'master' had never come out of her mouth. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she took two steps.

—Pushing aside a very hidden clothes rack near the back of the clothing store, he cleared away all the clothes that were wrapped around it to reveal various styles of garments hidden inside. Then, pointing excitedly to a piece hanging on the edge of the rack, he asked:

"How about this one? Brother, please take a look!"

Allen was still in a daze. He didn't know why things had turned out this way, and he vaguely felt that the obedient and well-behaved little Aisha was more likable.

He immediately retorted, "What are you looking at? Why don't you try it yourself?"

As he said this, his eyes followed Aisha's gestures, which indicated that she was looking over.

In my line of sight was a black and white maid outfit.

The design is quite daring, with cutouts at the waist and an extremely high hem, so that Allen could tell at a glance that if he wore the dress, he could see what was underneath just by bending over slightly.

Moreover, the front of the dress features a deep V-neck design. Just how deep is the V-neck?

The lower end of the V almost reaches the navel, and the middle of the slit is a crisscrossing ribbon bow.
Allen: ? ? ? ?

He opened his mouth in astonishment, wondering if he was dreaming.

Is this fashion?

Even if it were the King of Heaven himself, he'd still be wearing a Qingqu uniform!

Who put this thing here? Was it a person?
Or is it that your Weibang fashion is just highbrow and unique, and you're using this kind of thing to test your cadres?

Then, to Alan's astonishment, Aisha reached out and adjusted the clothes beside her:

The heretical 'priestess' uniform with a high slit from the feet to the waist;

A backless royal robe with the crest of the Asura royal family on the abdomen.
The seemingly normal adventurer's leather armor had two holes in the chest area;
There were also magic robes that were tattered and not much different from fishing nets.

The most outrageous thing is that they even have swordsman outfits from the main dojo of the Suishin-ryu school?!

Damn it, is this how you cut the swordsman uniforms for our dojo? This has 80% less fabric than the one I wore before!

Full of flaws, but Allen gradually comes to understand everything:
Why are these clothes hidden behind layers of hangers, as if they're trying to conceal them and avoid being discovered?

Isn't it just some quirky, eccentric clothing placed here to avoid attracting attention?

Moreover, these items might sell for more than the fabric itself, and are much more expensive than ordinary fashion items with more refined tailoring.

Aisha has a good eye; she actually noticed!
No? Wait! Aisha, what are you doing??

Aisha, her eyes sparkling, excitedly and carefully, with obvious affection, took out the maid outfit and showed it to Ellen:

"Look, this is mine."

Allen: ?
Then he pulled out the swordsman's uniform from the Suijin-ryu Dojo:
“This is for my sister Izoruti.”

Allen: ? ?

Then she chose that fishing net magic robe:
"This is Sister Luo Qixi's."

Alan: ???
Finally, he touched his chin, hesitated for a moment, and then placed his hand on the priest's robe of Milis:
"Sister Silphi is skilled in healing magic, so let's take this one!"

Allen exclaimed in surprise, "Wait a minute, what are all these things? And don't make decisions for them without my permission!"

Aisha was taken aback: "Isn't this about letting my brother make the decision?"

Allen's eye twitched: "Is that the point? The question is, why did you make the decision?"

Aisha looked surprised: "Brother has decided to choose for me himself? That's wonderful!"

Allen replied firmly, "What the hell? I'm not picky, and I don't need it."

Aisha sighed softly, "You don't need it? That's such a pity. In that case, I guess I'll just have to 'buy' a maid outfit. Sigh."

Allen's eyes widened: "Wait, what are you going to do with that???"

Aisha suddenly let go of Allen's arm, moved her feet, and spun around 360 degrees on the spot.

Her robes fluttered, her light skirt shimmering. With a snap, she stood back in place, pressed down her skirt, and spread her hands as if to assert her status: "Because I'm my brother's butler, but butler's outfits are all men's, so I can only wear a maid's outfit, right?"

Allen raised his hand and tapped her on the forehead: "What do you mean, 'right'? Is this a proper maid outfit you picked out?"

Aisha was taken aback: "Isn't this improper?"

Allen was furious. So far, Loki, Hilfi, and Izoruti have all been well-behaved, and even Alice, the mad dog, is very obedient in front of him. He has never seen anyone so naughty.

He wanted to reach out and pull Aisha's face to both sides, but then he remembered that Aisha was too old to do that, so he could only tap her forehead like a wooden fish: "Ask yourself, is this proper?"

Aisha reached out to stop Allen's hand, her eyes brimming with tears: "It does seem inappropriate, what should we do?"

Allen chuckled in exasperation: "You think it's acceptable for you to buy a normal maid outfit? Put it back."

Before he could finish speaking, Allen suddenly froze, revealing an expression as if he had fallen for a trap.

But Aisha's green eyes lit up.

She took two steps and clearly positioned herself at a 48° angle to the right rear of the two of them. From the neatly stacked clothes on the clothes rack, she precisely pulled out a maid outfit and then skipped over to Allen.

She held up the maid outfit in front of her and swayed it from side to side:

"Is this one proper enough? It only has a bow design at the waist; the rest is perfectly normal."

Allen remained silent, squinting at Aisha.

Aisha pouted, her expression somewhat mimicking Alice's energetic, preparatory stance when she was being silly:
"Is my brother going to say again that this maid outfit won't do? I'm the butler, I don't need to wear a maid outfit. I can wear casual clothes, why are you so fixated on the maid outfit?"
But this is different from what my brother said earlier, so wouldn't that mean...?

He muttered to himself, "He didn't keep his word."

Allen pinched the bridge of his nose: "The demolition effect. Your intelligence, along with your physical growth, has undergone a second development."

Aisha raised her hand: "My body has also undergone secondary development, look, brother!" She took off her maid outfit and spun around.

She was still hopping and skipping around.

Allen: (-_-)╬

Seeing the veins bulging on Allen's forehead, Aisha immediately changed the subject, raising her hand and asking, "What is the demolition effect?"

Allen sighed and explained, "When making a request to someone, you can first make a larger, more difficult request, and then make a smaller, easier request. This way, the other person will feel guilty for refusing the first request and will agree to the second one."

Aisha feigned sudden realization: "Oh~ I see! Oh dear!"

Allen smacked Aisha's forehead with his fighting spirit:
"Then let's take this maid outfit, but I still think the black dress would be better. It's better to take both. The important thing is not to wear the maid outfit as casual wear."

Aisha chuckled, "Okay!", then grabbed Allen's arm and started walking forward.

"Now that we've chosen our outerwear, next up: the lingerie section!"

Allen: ?!

-

Outside the shop, Alsteed stood at the entrance.

The street in front of me, which was bustling just half an hour ago, is now completely deserted.

He frequently turned his head to look at the shop entrance behind him, then turned back to look at the empty street in front of him.

This cycle continued, with the arms crossed in different poses and the standing position changing several times.

There aren't many people who can make Alsteid wait patiently.

Returning from the future, Laplace is one, Seven Stars is one, and Rudy is one too.

Now, having returned from the future, there are two more people.

Even though, the moment Alstead awoke, he was certain that he had not been dreaming, but had indeed returned from the future.

But at this moment, Alsteed, who is always busy and tirelessly pursuing an answer, is somewhat unaccustomed to the feeling of not having to do anything and only having to wait for Eren and Aisha to come out so they can discuss where to go next.

Novel, unfamiliar.

He had only experienced it in those early lives at the beginning of his cycle of reincarnation.

In the last hundred or thousand years, there have been very few moments that have allowed me to empty my mind and wander aimlessly.

For a moment, a barely perceptible look of bewilderment could be seen on Alsteid's tense face.

He looked up at the sky.

The clouds in the sky were not the same dark clouds that filled the sky before the time magic in my memory.

The autumn sky is filled with flawless clouds, which sway gently in the breeze.

It slowly swam within the fiery dragon eyes of Orsteed, stretching its body and drifting, gradually wriggling from east to west.

One inch
One inch
One inch.

Finally, it no longer obscures the scorching sun behind it.

The light broke free from the clouds and fell from the sky, sprinkling onto Alsted's face and shining brightly along with his pupils.

Alsted closed his eyes.

He let his body relax, stopped looking around, and quietly leaned against the wall behind him.

He then revealed that subtle smile that he wasn't very good at.

The sunlight is strong and everything is visible.

The sun of an unknown world
What shape will it be?
