What to Do When You Don't Know How to Buy Clothes for a Girl

Because of her constitution, Artoria would never gain weight no matter how much she ate.

Thus, the two of them quickly swept through the entire food street.

At that moment, the food street gained a new legend.

After eating, Eiji took Artoria to the nearest large shopping mall.

A saleswoman in the mall was enthusiastically promoting the store's clothes to Artoria.

Never mind the handsome little brother beside her; this girl buying clothes clearly looked like someone of high status, perhaps even a foreign noble.

If she took good care of her, today's commission might even equal a month's salary.

With that in mind, the saleswoman grew even more enthusiastic.

"This white dress would suit Miss Artoria very well."

The saleswoman brought out a white dress.

Artoria's appearance after putting on the dress made Eiji's eyes light up.

Wearing a pure white dress, Artoria shed her previously valiant air and became a petite, adorable young lady.

The dress reached Artoria's calves, its hem adorned with blue patterns.

Thin blue straps exposed her fair, soft skin and delicate collarbones. Her golden hair, pinned up, added a touch of quiet elegance, making her seem like a blooming lily.

"It suits you very well, Miss Artoria."

The saleswoman clasped her hands together, as though stars had appeared in her eyes.

As for Eiji, he was already staring dumbly. Enough said.

Walking over to the mirror in the dress, Artoria first nodded, then shook her head.

"What's wrong, Ria?"

Seeing Artoria shake her head, Eiji stepped forward and asked.

"It is indeed beautiful clothing, but it feels too light and floaty. It is completely unsuitable for battle."

"Huh?"

Artoria's words left the saleswoman frozen.

Battle? This girl had just said battle, right? No, why would a girl in real life need to battle?

Those two words, which were usually only associated in stories and movies, made the saleswoman's CPU start smoking.

"Don't mind her. Ria received a knight's education in Great Britain, so..."

Eiji did not finish his sentence.

But that was enough. Based on Eiji's half-finished explanation, the saleswoman had already imagined several different stories.

Her expression did not change much, but upon closer inspection, her eyes had grown even brighter.

A noble young lady, and a knight too. I actually met a real noble young lady, ahhh!

"Could you find me some clothes that are easier to move around in?"

"No problem. This way, please."

Amid the pleasant shopping trip, evening arrived.

A happy smile appeared on Artoria's face as the two walked home side by side.

At that moment, Artoria had changed into that classic casual outfit.

A white shirt paired with a blue high-waisted skirt, black tights on her legs, and a pair of brown long boots on her feet.

Eiji, who knew nothing about coordinating outfits, had put together this set for Artoria based on his original impression.

However, what Eiji had not expected was that after Artoria put on those clothes, the saleswoman kept murmuring in disbelief, "Artoria... it's really Artoria!"

All he could say was that the Zenin Family's publicity was truly effective.

However, after looking over the shopping list, Eiji felt as though he had forgotten something.

Underwear.

"Gasp..."

"What's wrong, Eiji?"

Eiji's sudden reaction caught Artoria's attention.

"It's nothing. I was thinking about what to eat later."

He could hardly say that he needed to buy her underwear.

"Dinner? That is indeed a question worth considering seriously."

Eiji fell into a dilemma.

He had no idea how to buy clothes for a girl. Buying casual clothes at a mall was one thing, but entering a store that sold that sort of clothing himself...

As if he had thought of something, Eiji's face became a little hot.

Which girls did he know?

The class president?

A somewhat ditzy girl wearing glasses appeared in Eiji's mind.

No, no, she would think he was a pervert.

Besides, he was not even close with her.

Who else? Who else?

Ugh, do I really have so few friends?

Suddenly, a suitable candidate appeared in Eiji's mind.

"Ria, let's buy some food, then go visit some relatives."

"Alright."

Entering a supermarket, Eiji directly bought enough ingredients for ten people before taking Artoria to their destination.

Ding-dong.

Click.

"Oh my, Eiji. And who is this?"

The moment Minako Fushiguro opened the door and saw that Eiji had brought a girl with him, she perked up.

However, Minako Fushiguro was also somewhat puzzled. This should have been her first time meeting the girl, so why did she feel so familiar?

"Hello, Sister Minako. This is the Heroic Spirit Artoria, my new partner."

"Eiji, honestly, calling me Sister."

Minako Fushiguro said with a smile.

"Sister Minako is still very young."

"Artoria? Please, come in."

Upon hearing that name, Minako Fushiguro finally realized where that familiar feeling came from.

After all, Eiji was one of Toji Fushiguro's few close relatives, and in Minako Fushiguro's eyes, he was a young man with a successful career and limitless potential.

Therefore, she had looked into Eiji's animation company, and upon hearing Artoria's name, she remembered Artoria's identity as well.

Jujutsu really is miraculous.

Minako Fushiguro sighed inwardly.

The moment they entered, they saw Toji Fushiguro intently betting on horse races.

For the current Heavenly Tyrant, only things like horse betting were beyond his control, allowing him to experience the thrill brought by winning and losing.

In the corner, Megumi Fushiguro and Tsumiki Fushiguro were playing with toys on soft mats, with a small fence around them to keep them from crawling away.

Eiji skillfully walked into the kitchen.

Potatoes, beef, eggs, tomatoes, scallions, salmon...

"Are you making that much?"

"Don't worry. We can finish it."

Eiji gave Minako Fushiguro an assuring gesture.

Eiji rubbed salt over the salmon and set it aside, then began cutting the potatoes and beef.

Stewed meat with potatoes, stir-fried tomatoes and eggs, grilled salmon...

After preparing dinner for Megumi Fushiguro and Tsumiki Fushiguro, Minako Fushiguro also came over to help Eiji.

"Eiji, that girl..."

Minako Fushiguro gestured toward Artoria with her eyes.

"Artoria only came to my house today."

Eiji smiled and nodded. Well, he had not caught Minako Fushiguro's meaning.

"By the way, Sister Minako, do you have time tomorrow?"

Seeing Minako Fushiguro bring up Artoria, Eiji followed the topic and asked, as though he had just casually remembered something.

"I do."

"Then could I trouble you to take Artoria shopping for some daily necessities? She just arrived here and does not have anything yet."

"Oh my, leave it to me. A girl's daily life needs a bit more attention to detail."

Minako Fushiguro immediately agreed to Eiji's request.

Mission accomplished.

Eiji thought to himself.

The next day, Eiji experienced the terror of being ruled by shopping.

With more than a dozen large and small bags hanging from him, Eiji followed behind the two with vacant eyes. Including the things he had found chances to put into his shadow earlier, the two had already bought several kinds of items.

From small furniture that made daily life more convenient—such as a vanity table; though would Artoria need that? She looked amazing without makeup—to clothes, shoes, and daily necessities.

Minako Fushiguro was extremely happy. Not only had she finally satisfied her long-suppressed urge to shop, she could also watch the drama unfold up close.

I never expected Eiji, who always acts like a little adult, to have such an adorable side. Youth really is wonderful.

Minako Fushiguro sighed inwardly.

Over the course of a single day, Minako Fushiguro took Artoria through every major shopping mall in Shinjuku.

Eiji was finally freed.

Why?

Why had shopping with Artoria been so enjoyable yesterday, yet turned into this today?

However, seeing the smile on Artoria's face as she shopped to her heart's content under Minako Fushiguro's recommendations, Eiji felt that it had all been worth it.
