Chapter 73 : Date with Chris (After)

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Chris-san was smiling happily as we walked with our hands entwined together. He was in a good mood. Our previous encounter with the young ladies seemed to not bother him in the slightest.

"Umm... Where are we going?"

I asked Chris-san since I haven't heard him telling me what we were going to do today.

"Hm~ We're having a shopping date. We did have a shopping date before but the only thing we bought were essentials for the quest, right?~ So I want to redo it... Or rather, going back to square one? Although that date served as a good memory but still~"

Which reminded me, we did go out just the two of us before we went to Calhea. I think Chris-san did say it was a 'date' too that time? I would have never imagined we'd end up this way back then. I guess you will never know what life has in store for you.

"I remember you also brought me to Ken and I had a lot of fun that day... By the way, where are we heading now?"

Rather, Chris-san hadn't answered my question yet. I asked where we were going but Chris-san only said we were having a shopping date. Just where were we headed off to?

"I have a few places in mind but first, we're going to a clothing store~"

"Clothes?"

"Yes, yes~ Ren-chan's usual clothes is cute but since we're going to visit the royal castle, might as well buy a new one~"

"Ah, you're right... I have to buy formal clothes!"

That's right!

The three of us were going to the royal capital to meet their families but that also meant I was going to have an audience with the king, Fer-san's father! Of course casual clothes wouldn't do... Uwah... Thankfully Chris-san reminded me about it...

"Hm~ This is a difficult choice~ Ren-chan is a support magician so I think a robe style would suit you but~ We're going to go with you and it's not an official audience so I don't think you need to dress so formally~"

"That is true..."

"Ah, here we are~ The place is close, right?~"

Chris-san stopped walking. The store was indeed close to the plaza.

Opening the door for me, Chris-san prompted me to get in first.

「「Welcome.」」

"Eh? Are you sure we're at the right place?"

As soon as we stepped inside, we were greeted with two beastman staff clad in casual clothes. The clothes in this store looked casual too. Huh? Weren't we going to buy some clothes for me to meet with the king? I didn't mean to be rude but could we buy something fit to meet with the king here?

"Fufu~ It looks dubious at first glance, right?~ But they do have some robe at the back~"

"Oh! Chris-san! It's been a while!"

"Yup~ Long time no see~ I'm here to buy a robe for this guy but we're going to meet with a high ranking noble so can you please give us something suitable?~"

Chris-san led me by hand toward the back of the store where a boy about the same age as me greeted us. Seemed like this boy worked for the shop, hence why Chris-san asked for the boy to recommend some clothes to us.

"Huh?! Is he the rumoured otherworlder?"

"Yup, that's right. He's my fiancée~"

Chris-san explained while browsing the nearby rack.
