Let's Go Out, Mi

(Miluno)

"Rough removal pill!"

I knew Ceruno would say that.

This afternoon's "potion-making part-time job" really took a toll on her mental energy, and it's unlikely that rehearsing would be of much use.

In addition to the psychological burden caused by the recent local wars, I do need to relax a bit, which will also benefit tomorrow's fundraising concert. Being on edge won't allow me to perform at my best.

"Then..."

I turned to look at the magical girl from the Shenmu who was silently following behind me. She was only wearing a simple white nightgown and... a pair of white cotton slippers.

She's quite cute, and it matches her bright green hair very well.

Staying home is fine, but since we've already stepped out of the house, this outfit is clearly a bit inappropriate.

"Barbara, how about we go buy some clothes and get a new look?"

She glanced down at her attire, then raised her tablet.

[No problem]

After being away from the cabin for so many days and seeing so many magical girls visiting her at the City School, you must have developed your own understanding of clothing and style by now, right?

"Great! Let's go shopping in the Commercial District!"

Ceruno was very excited.

"Going to the Metro Shopping Street again?"

"No! Miss Barbara is the star of tomorrow's concert. Going to the Metro Shopping Street is too undignified. Let's go to the shopping center—to the big department store!"

Is this guy planning to buy luxury goods?

I actually think the clothes in the Metro Shopping Street are pretty good...

"Fine, fine, the money's all with you anyway, so you get to decide."

I never really had much say in spending money.

"Hehe, Miluno, don't say that~"

Perhaps my impatient tone caught Ceruno's attention, for she chuckled and moved closer to me, saying in a flattering tone:

"If you don't want to go, I respect your decision, and I'll even buy you clothes today! Just tell me if you want anything else! We're rich!"

There's nothing I really want.

"No! You can't say that!"

Mono...

The little thing suddenly spoke loudly in my head.

"Miluno, this is an opportunity! It's not just about buying clothes for Barbara, it's also a great training opportunity for you."

Huh? What kind of training?

"Of course, it's women's power training!"

My right eyelid started twitching.

"Hooray! We're here!"

As I passed through the teleportation tunnel, Mono roared like a monkey inside my head.

What are you so excited about now?

She adjusted her baseball cap and chuckled, "Hehe, this is my first time here! You guys always go to the Metro Shopping Street, but you never come to such a big mall!"

The C4 Area a bustling commercial center. It may be more upscale than the Metro Shopping Street, but it is definitely not as large as the subway area.

I once accompanied Ceruno here as Bai Ziye to buy her first set of lingerie. Although I am still Bai Ziye now, I am no longer the same person.

Yes, I've deactivated my transformation.

"Mi... Yezi, your hair has grown long again."

Ceruno ruffled my hair, which had already reached my collarbone... Had it grown this long without me even realizing it?

Mono also said, "It's good to be back. You'll be cuter without Miluno's rational correction~"

I think they're about the same.

"It's mainly to conceal their identities. Didn't Ceruno also blacken her and Barbara's hair?"

Miss Freya was more eye-catching, after all, she was a blonde, blue-eyed, high-nosed foreign beauty, and she was wearing a pair of big headphones (actually a translation device), which made her look cool and eye-catching. Fortunately, that was all. If she didn't transform, she wouldn't be so well-known in China. She had to transform into "Fran" before she went on stage at the Supernova Idol Festival.

I glanced at the time.

It's already past five o'clock.

"So, should we eat first or buy clothes first?"

I asked this question, but I received different answers.

[Buy clothes first] That's what's written on Barbara's tablet.

[Eat first] Miss Freya wanted to have dinner first.

"Um, why don't you two discuss it again?"

Miss Freya shook her head.

Let's buy clothes first.

One is a foreigner, and the other is a non-human; these two people who can't communicate directly are really hindering communication efficiency when they're together.

"Let's buy clothes first! Upstairs! Upstairs now!"

Mono pushed Ceruno up the escalator.

She was as excited as a primary school student on her first spring outing, and she even said in my head:

"By the way, Miluno, from now on you need to act like a young girl! This is training!"

Before that, please tell me what "girlishness" means?

When I asked that, Mono started to stammer.

"Well, it's hard for me to explain. Ceruno's every move, her unintentional little gestures, and her expressions are all very girlish. You can start by imitating her."

Ceruno had gone up to the second floor, was swaying back and forth in front of the shop window, looking at the clothes in the store. Her slender index finger was playing with her lower lip. Just as Mono had said, it was cute when she did this, especially the longing in her eyes for the beautiful clothes. It was as if you could see the fantasies that were popping out of her head.

No, I can't imitate that feeling.

When it comes to looking at fashion, I'm just standing there and observing. Forcing myself to act like a girl would only make me feel uncomfortable.

"You can't do that! If Ceruno turns back into her original form, will you still be able to play the role of a good girlfriend?"

Why not just not let her turn back?

"Barbara, come quick! Come over here!"

I don't know which dress she took a fancy to, Ceruno waved for Barbara to come into the store, and Freya and I exchanged a glance and followed her in.

Upon entering, they saw the boutique's staff, who were bending down to greet Ceruno and Barbara.

As expected of a commercial center, even the shop assistants are dressed like flight attendants. With her already tall figure and high heels, she can only look at a 1.8-meter-tall man at eye level. Ceruno and Barbara are both short, so they really look like children next to her.

What would you two lovely little girls like?

So they were treated like children.

"We've come to buy clothes..."

Ceruno is shy and reserved around strangers, but to the shop assistants, this reaction perfectly matched the image of a timid little girl.

"So independent at such a young age? That's great, but the children's clothing store is on the third floor, isn't it?"

"No! We're not little kids, I'm seventeen! Don't treat me like a child just because I'm short!"

Ceruno issued a cute protest.

Not only was she seventeen, but Barbara beside her... was also 1,400 years old.

The shop assistant smiled and then said, "Really? But the clothes here aren't cheap, are they?"

"Hehe, we're very rich!"

Ceruno said that, the shop assistant couldn't say anything more and let her push Barbara with the clothes into the fitting room.

Only after I stood up from my half-squatting position did the shop assistant notice me.

"Ah, are the three of you with them?"

"Yes, they're all rich women, you don't need to worry about them causing trouble."

I'm the one who has no money.
