Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 91 Mission: 02-5 Sunshine Date
Today was the first day of Wano Country's Golden Week holiday, and also Nero's third day as a transfer student. With only two days of school already starting the holiday, it was no wonder Aine thought transferring at this time was strange.

What's even more bizarre is that if your school prioritizes grades and has monthly exams, the first exam will likely fall on the second day after the holiday. This means that students transferring at this time not only have to attend just two days before the holiday begins, but also face another monthly exam immediately upon returning. For most students, this naturally makes their test scores even worse.

But fortunately, Nero and Aine are not the majority in this regard, which is why they are in the mood to go out and play after the holiday.

"Nero-kun!"

Aine spotted Nero from a distance, sitting quietly on a bench. Unlike the elegant and beautiful girl she remembered, Nero today was wearing a high-necked jacket and tight pants, a more neutral, casual outfit that didn't quite convey aristocratic air.

Ah... I understand. My family must be too strict. I never wear anything other than formal wear. Aine thought to herself.

This matter is unremarkable.

“Aine-san.”

Since Nero had invited Aine out, it was natural that he would decide where to go. After Aine asked, she learned that Nero planned to go to Sunshine City in Ikebukuro, with the main destination being the mall, aquarium, and planetarium.

To be honest, Aine wasn't really interested in astronomy or anything like that, but then she thought, besides those two places, the only things she could play were arcades and board games. Arcades were too noisy, which Aine didn't like, and playing board games with just the two of them was...

In comparison, the planetarium is a good choice.

"By the way, why did you choose me?"

On the way, Aine couldn't help but ask. The two of them knew almost nothing about each other's preferences, and they had almost no common topics, so they were just casual acquaintances at school. Aine really couldn't understand why Nero called himself her friend and asked her to come out and play.

The question was incoherent, but Nero still understood what was being asked.

“Because…Aine discovered my secret?” She blinked and answered in a joking tone.

Aine understood that this was probably about a part-time job. Then another question came up: "Why would Nero work part-time? You shouldn't be short of money, right?"

When asking the question, Aine had already prepared herself for answers like "interested" or "experiencing life," but what she didn't expect was that Nero said, "My brother did give me a lot of money, but it doesn't feel right to use all the family money."

Is this what is called "the desire for independence"? Aine was speechless for a moment.

The pocket money her family gave her was quite generous. Aine herself rarely needed money, so she saved most of it and never had such thoughts.

"And..." Nero changed the subject, drawing Aine's attention. The beautiful blonde stroked the hair by her ear and said hesitantly, "The owner of that shop is an old acquaintance of my uncle's. He helped a lot when I first arrived here."

Aine felt like she was about to be blinded by this overly beautiful face, so she quickly averted her gaze, this time landing on Nero's hands. "By the way, working in a cafe often involves washing dishes, right? What skincare products does Nero use?"

Unexpectedly, this casual question actually stumped Nero. She blinked blankly, hid her hands behind her back, and answered hesitantly, "...No?"

After hearing this answer, Aiyin was also confused: "Is this a foreign brand?"

Look at these hands, look at this face, even if there were ten thousand other people like Aine, they would not think that the beautiful girl in front of them had never used skin care products.

However, Nero murmured in embarrassment: "It is indeed not used."

Aine didn't suspect that this was a deliberate attempt to show off her natural beauty. Her first reaction was, "Where did you get this anime girl from?", and then her second reaction was - "How can this be possible!"

She immediately made up her mind and insisted on dragging Nero to the cosmetics section to do some shopping. "How can you not take care of your hands after they've come in contact with detergent? And judging by your appearance, you've never used cosmetics, have you?"

Nero's expression grew even more awkward. "Hmm, hmm. Because Fortuna is quite conservative...women wearing makeup are considered seductive and subject to criticism."

“The Middle Ages?” Aine asked in shock, her eyes widening.

"This is modern society, there are generators..."

"Generator? Not a power plant?"

“Ah, ahahaha…”

Amidst Nero's awkward laughter, Aine was completely convinced: the so-called Fortuna was a place isolated from the world, where people still lived in the ancient times. A hint of subtle pity also appeared in her eyes as she looked at Nero.

"Nero's brother is such a good person." Aine couldn't help but sigh.

"Huh?" Nero was even more confused.

For now, let's put aside Aine's image of Nero as a brother who traveled thousands of miles, despite all the pressure, to bring his sister to modern society. Upon arriving at Sunshine City, Aine took Nero straight to the cosmetics section, her first order of business being hand cream. Of course, Aine also planned to recommend other items to Nero, but she couldn't let the old-fashioned ideas of her hometown continue to poison her.

“Aine knows so much…”

Aine straightened her back considerably after receiving Nero's praise. She replied modestly, "It's nothing. I learned most of this from online beauty bloggers. By the way, Nero, have you registered for a video site?"

Nero blushed and replied, "Yes, I do."

"That's great. I'll recommend some beauty bloggers to you later—Miao Mengqin is the first choice!"

"Eh……"

Although Nero seemed a little concerned, it was normal. Aine would slowly introduce these things to her later, so there was no rush.

Aiyin looked at the blonde girl in front of her and suddenly realized that perhaps Nero's current attire was due to the conservative customs of her hometown. "By the way, Nero, is it true that in your hometown, wearing dresses or something like that is not allowed?"

Nero didn't deny it, but just looked away and said, "And high heels and earrings."

What a poor child! Aiyin was almost in tears. She made a quick decision and changed her schedule for today. She had to dress Nero up beautifully before going to the aquarium and planetarium today, enough to dazzle everyone else.

"Next stop, the garment district!"

She asserted so.
