Kaiser of the New World (Ch 200+)

Hairband (270)

A good haircut could be said to consist of many things.

...Not that Kai knew any of them.

So in this case, he was blindly relying on Cecilia to do a good job. He had faith in her though, he had always thought that her hair was pretty. It looked so silky all the time, even when it was completely covered in snow.

But now that Kai was on the topic of hair, did Cecilia have some sort of secret hair supply stash in her ring? It didn't make sense how her hair could always look so perfect, unless she just had incredible hair genetics.

No, it was the latter, Kai realised that as he watched a wide variety of multiversal hair products start appearing all around him.

Gel, some strange foam, a bottle of bright blue coloured water that apparently empowered the quality of your hair.

"Where did you get all this?"

Cecilia's hands, which were currently in the middle of undoing all the knots in Kai's hair, suddenly froze. Wondering why that was, Kai glanced back over his shoulder, only to see that she was blushing profusely.

"I... um... When you told me to go and raid the treasury while you were fighting Ezekial... I... may have stopped into Anastasia's private quarters and raided her products."

Silence.

Kai wasn't sure what to say. Was he meant to praise her ingenuity to rob more than just the treasury? Maybe he should have thought of that and have told her to raid any place in the castle that had some sort of valuables? Or was he meant to give out?

Eh, not like it matters now.

Kai simply nodded and said:

"That makes perfectly normal sense."

When he turned back around, he heard Cecilia sigh quietly behind him before getting back to work.

It was a strange feeling. Back on Earth, no barber took this much care when doing a haircut, it was always just scissors and machinery. Was this why hairdressers were so expensive?

It also didn't help his case about barbers being rubbish that Cecilia had acquired a skill that enhanced her fingers, and that she had been weaving nearly none stop for the last few days. Her fingers moved with masterfull finesse, never lingering in one place for too long.

She treated every strand of hair like the thread of a weave, applying various hair products to every one of them.

At one point, she took out some scissors and began chipping away at the large volume of hair on his head, but she didn't take much. She mainly cleared away bits of his fringe that were too long and bits that were poking out at awkward angles.

It was almost like she had chosen the vanity route rather than the practical route.

Wait, he had specified that the reason he wanted to cut his hair was that it was getting in they way of fighting, right?

Unsure, but not wanting to speak up, Kai continued to let Cecilia work her magic.

Over an hour had gone by, and yet Cecilia was still not finished. No matter how many times Kai thought she was about to wrap up, another multiversal hair product appeared and the cycle just repeated itself.

The worst part was, he didn't even have a mirror to see how it was looking, he was blindly trusting in Cecilia to not mess up.

It's not like how his hair looked really mattered though, considering that their group consisted of three humans, a wolf, a rat and a sentient sword, but it would matter once they all got out of this Subdimension.
