I'm Good Friends with the President of This Trading Company (5.2K)

It's a pity he's never been here before.

Moreover, even though the sun was high in the sky, the long queue in front of the Chamber of Commerce and the moving crowds did not decrease.

This is enough to show just how popular it is.

However, he cared more about Claire than any of these things.

"Hey Claire, do you really have to lead me like this?"

Claire held his hand tightly with her fingers intertwined, as if afraid he would get lost.

"As for you, given my habits, if I let go, you'll definitely disappear," Claire said seriously.

Well...

What about trust between people?

He shook his head, at a loss for words, unsure where to even begin to complain.

He simply uttered a sentence softly.

"Claire, if you keep holding my hand like this and someone from the academy sees us, it could cause a lot of trouble."

"That would be best. Ideally, the academy would expel you, and then I'd take care of you."

"... Ha, then your parents would probably kill me." Mahiro couldn't help but chuckle.

"No, they've already agreed."

Claire shook her head and said, "I went home a few days ago and told my parents my attitude, and they were very supportive of my idea."

Yotsuba Mahiro: "..."

I have a feeling this topic is a tiny bit dangerous.

He thought for a moment and then changed the subject, "What about your brother Cid? Since you came home, why didn't you spend more time with him?"

"He..."

Claire's eyes dimmed at the mention of Cid.

"I don't know if that child dislikes me, but I always feel a sense of distance from me. He would rather run away than stay by my side for a moment longer."

Yotsuba Mahiro: "..."

He fell completely silent.

I understand.

It's not so much that Cid dislikes Claire, but rather that he's indifferent and doesn't care what happens to Claire at all.

Even the cuteness she puts on in everyday life is just a facade, devoid of any real emotion.

Everything they did was simply to fulfill their grand ambition of showing off the Eminence in Shadow.

Claire then pulled him directly across the queue to the rarely visited VIP passage.

She pulled a card from her pocket and showed it to the waiter.

"Welcome to the Arcadia Trading Company. Dear ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy your visit."

The waiter flashed a professional, sweet smile and, amidst envious and jealous glances, led them through the door.

I didn't expect Claire to even have a membership card...

What was even more unexpected was that Gamma had already implemented the concept of a membership card after he had only briefly explained it.

The membership cards are even divided into different tiers, from the most prestigious Obsidian Card to the lowest Silver Card.

I remember when the business first opened, Beta came over and gave him an Obsidian Card, which he'd been keeping in his ring ever since and hadn't had a chance to use.

Claire held a gold card, which happened to be at the second-to-last level.

But within the Chamber of Commerce, this is already a very prestigious and distinguished status.

That said, the interior decoration is not as extravagant and luxurious as the exterior; it pays more attention to the perfection of details and is somewhat similar to the Victoria style.

Just one look is enough to tell that the building's exterior and interior design were definitely done by Ita Design.

As for the goods he sells, they are all very familiar to him, ranging from clothing and luxury goods to food, almost all of which are modern products.

However, Claire did not linger in front of these goods. She merely glanced at them and, like a regular customer, went straight to the deeper part of the Chamber of Commerce.

But the destination they brought him to made Mahiro's eyes twitch.

"Hey Claire, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to bring me to a place like this?"

Chapter 199 I'm very familiar with the president of this chamber of commerce (5.2K)

It's not that it's not very good.

This is definitely not a place for him!

Because this was a women's lingerie store, the moment Claire pulled him inside, countless surprised and astonished gazes were fixed on them.

Not only that, but the dazzling array of goods displayed on the shelves also looked somewhat familiar to him.

As she grew older, Seven Shadows's figure also gradually developed. Although she had Slime Suit that allowed her to change the size at will, she inevitably reached the age where she needed to wear underwear.

However, the underwear in this world is too simple and monotonous, so in order to make these growing young ladies comfortable.

So he used alchemy to replicate modern styles and fabrics for underwear.

Not only are they lightweight and aesthetically pleasing, but they also better support the overdeveloped figures of girls like Delta and Zeta.

But now, he sees here variations and modifications based on those original designs, and even some particularly daring T-backs.

As expected of you, Gamma...

A keen business sense to seize every business opportunity, and so on.

"Sigh, I'll go outside and wait for you."

As Mahiro to turn and leave the secret exhibition hall, Claire grabbed her wrist.

"Don't leave."

"Hey, didn't you see everyone else watching us?"

"It doesn't matter."

Claire said she didn't care, and then said seriously, "I need your opinion, teacher."

Hiss--

A teacher helping students choose underwear? Is that really that exciting?

He wasn't sure if it was specifically provocative, but he was certain that the surrounding customers were already whispering among themselves.

Never mind, it doesn't matter anymore...

"Wait... wait! Alexia, isn't this fabric a bit too little?! And it seems to be see-through in various places...?! How can a member of the royal family wear such a shameful thing in public?!"

"No problem, Sister Wang! I'm very confident in the development of my buttocks!"

"That's not the point!!!"

An unexpected and even more provocative conversation suddenly caught Mahiro's attention.

Looking closely, one could see a beautiful young woman with long silver hair, wearing flesh-colored white stockings that revealed her slender, shapely legs. Her gaze was fixed on a rather daring T-back on the counter, her wine-red eyes revealing intense interest.

And behind her.

She is a more mature and beautiful young woman.

His posture was dignified.

Her hair was as red as a raging flame.

Under the lamplight, her long, bright red hair shimmered behind her, and a look of panic appeared in her wine-red eyes as she tried to stop the silver-haired girl.

The saleswoman standing nearby was smiling as she explained the many benefits of the product to them.

However, after she finished speaking, the red-haired girl's face turned noticeably red, her cheeks burning as bright as her hair.

She shyly looked away, only to Mahiro her eyes meeting Mahiro's.

"A... boy?!"

How did I get here?!

Isn't this a men-only zone?

At first, the red-haired girl was a little flustered, but when she noticed the girl next to the other person wearing the uniform of the Midgar Royal Spellsword Academy, she understood.

They must be a couple.

Then, when I saw that handsome face with the gentle smile again, it looked somewhat familiar.

I feel like I've seen this somewhere before...

"You must be Alice Midgar, the First Princess of the Midgar Kingdom, right?" Mahiro with interest, leading Claire forward to greet her.

"Who are you...?"

"Nice to meet you. I am Yotsuba Mahiro, and I currently work at the Midgar Academy."

Now that you mention it, Alice does remember.

"I know you; Jeno Geno has mentioned you before."

To be honest, Princess Alice was still a little surprised, because Mahiro looked so young that he could easily pass for a student.

"It seems Princess Alice is in trouble?"

"No need to be so polite, Ms. Mahiro. Just call me Alice. If it's too much trouble... well, that would be a little bit..."

Alice looked at the silver-haired girl with considerable confusion.

That was her younger sister, Alexia. Because she was usually busy with official duties, she rarely had time to spend with her, and due to some other things, the two of them had become somewhat estranged.

So Alice wanted to mend this relationship, and having heard that the Arcadia Trading Company was very popular in the capital, she thought of taking her sister out for a stroll.

Unexpectedly, Alexia took a liking to this shameful lingerie and wouldn't let go of it no matter what anyone said!

Wearing such shameful lingerie will utterly disgrace the Midgar royal family!!!

"Nice to meet you. You must be Princess Alexia, the second princess and fiancée that Professor Jeno mentioned?"

Suddenly being spoken to, and addressed as Jeno's fiancée, Alexia turned away in displeasure, but her hand remained firmly gripping the pale red T-back.

She noticed that Yotsuba Mahiro and asked:

Who are you?

"I am Yotsuba Mahiro, a swordsmanship instructor at the Midgar Academy."

"Sister Wang's teacher?"

"No, Alice Alice's teacher is Jeno Gulifi, and I'm in charge of teaching first-year students swordsmanship."

"So, what brings you here?"

"It's nothing serious, I just overheard your conversation with Princess Alice and have a little suggestion that might be a bit immature."

"What a twisted sense of humor, eavesdropping on other sisters' private conversations."

Perhaps it was because of his earlier form of address that Alexia's face showed a slightly displeased smile, and her words became a little more venomous.

However, Mahiro didn't care about any of that and said directly:

"I actually agree with Miss Alexia's opinion."

"Huh?" Alexia was slightly taken aback.

"I think Miss Alexia's hip line is indeed perfect, and her aesthetic sense is outstanding."

"Right, right! Looks like you have good taste. I knew this would suit me perfectly!"

Just like a little child.

After receiving approval, Alexia immediately smiled with excitement.
