Chapter 57 A Little Surprise
Chapter 57 A Little Surprise
”So, I won?”
”Tsk, I lost.”
Mira was very happy. Jenny’s expression of reluctance but having to admit defeat was so funny.
”Then it’s time for punishment.”
”Punishment…punishment? I didn’t say anything like that before!”
Mira looked as if it was a matter of course: “Since it’s a match that decides the winner, how can there be no punishment? Okay, don’t move.”
”…” Jenny closed her eyes nervously as she watched Mira’s hand reaching towards her face.
Her scared expression was a little cute, and the audience couldn’t bear to look away.
Mira bent her finger and flicked it on her forehead, bang! A red mark appeared on Jenny’s forehead, and she covered the place where she was hit: “It hurts!”
Mira imitated Rod’s tone just now: “Okay, loser out!”
”Damn it, I will win back!” Jenny left angrily. How dare he hit her forehead in public? Did he think she was a child?
Jenny swore that she must compete again in the future, and then make a more shameful bet to make Mira Jane lose face even more! ”I’m sorry, because I was in a spur of the moment, I was delayed for so long.” Mira said to Rod.
”It doesn’t matter, anyway, we are out to have fun, this is also quite interesting.”
Rod said that he watched a dress-up show of Mira, and it was not a loss today.
(Jenny: I didn’t participate, did I?) Mira looked at the crowded store and suggested, “Let’s go to another store?”
Rod nodded, “Good suggestion.”
The clothes and accessories that Mira and Jenny had just tried on suddenly became popular items and were snapped up by a group of young men and women.
The store manager and service staff managed to maintain the atmosphere, but when they wanted to find Mira and Jenny, they were gone.
…
“How about this one?” Without the idle people, Mira could finally choose clothes carefully.
The purpose of this trip was to buy clothes for Elfman.
“Suits? I don’t think they match Elfman.”
Rod tried hard to imagine Elfman wearing a suit, but the next picture that appeared in his mind was him doing the bodybuilder’s action and his clothes burst in a second.
“But I want to see the effect.” Mira thought for a while, “How about Rod helping me try it?”
”Me? There is a big difference in body shape between me and Elfman, right?”
”What does it matter? I can just buy a slightly larger size when the time comes.” Mira said, “Help me.”
”Okay.” Rod took the clothes and walked towards the fitting room.
”Wait a minute.” Mira called him again, and turned back to select a bunch of odds and ends, ”There are also matching shirts, ties, brooches, and handkerchiefs. Put them on together.”
”…Okay.” Rod walked into the fitting room with a bunch of things in his arms, and poked his head out again after a few seconds, ”Mira, don’t you have transformation magic? Can’t you just change into Elfman like you did just now?”
”Yes…” Mira thought for a while, “But I used the transformation magic too many times just now, and the magic consumption is a bit serious.”
”Really?” Rod was suspicious. Is transformation such a magic-consuming thing? Mira put her hands together: “Yes, please.”
“Oh.” Rhodes closed the curtain again.
When he came out again, he had changed into a suit and leather shoes, and the whole person looked straight, capable and free and easy.
Mira’s eyes lit up. Rhodes in formal clothes looked completely different from usual.
It’s just that some details were not handled well.
Rhodes held the tie in his hand and said embarrassedly: “I don’t know how to tie this.”
This semester he did choose the social etiquette elective course, which seemed to have common sense about suits, but he hadn’t learned it yet.
Mira smiled: “I’ll help you.”
She came closer, turned up the collar of Rhodes’ shirt, and gently tiptoed to tie it around. This almost hugging action made Rhodes’ heart beat, and the tip of his nose seemed to be lingering with the fragrance of Mira’s hair.
I didn’t see how she tied the knot, but she just pulled it gently at the end and pushed the tie knot to the collar, and it was tied.
Rod used the action of adjusting his collar to cover up his embarrassment.
Mira gently pulled the suit jacket and stuffed the end of the tie inside.
This was not over yet. Mira took off Rod’s brooch and pinned it to the open collar of the jacket. She also folded the handkerchief neatly and put it in the jacket pocket, pulling it out a little.
After doing all this, MiraMira gently smoothed the wrinkles on Rod’s clothes, stepped back two steps, and looked at him carefully with her hands behind her back.
This… This feeling of a husband going out and his wife helping him to organize his clothes is terrible.
Rod asked unnaturally: “How is it?”
”Very handsome, a lot more mature all of a sudden, and this color doesn’t make him look old, it feels like a social elite at first glance.”
Mira gave her own evaluation, and then added, “It really doesn’t suit Elfman… Is it hot to wear this?”
”… A little bit.” Rod turned his head and pulled his collar, “Let’s look at something else.”
”Well, I’ll continue to bother you~”
Rod continued to be a clothes hanger. Although it was troublesome to change back and forth, he enjoyed it.
After a busy period, Mira finally chose two sets of clothes, selected the size according to Elfman’s body shape, and asked the clerk to help pack them.
Seeing that it was almost time to prepare for the evening activities, the two left here and returned to the hotel.
Just when he was leaving, Rhode suddenly noticed that Mira was carrying three bags.
”Ah, did you find it?”
Mira turned sideways, with a little surprise on her face, she leaned forward slightly and handed one of them to Rhode, “For you.”
Reaching out to help carry the bag, in an instant it became reaching out to receive a gift, the feeling of surprise was indescribable.
Mira continued, “It’s the suit just now, because it feels very suitable for you, just consider it as a thank you gift for helping me try on clothes.”
”This is too expensive… um, thank you.” Rhode chose to accept the gift.
Although the more he thought about it, he felt like a poor boy accompanying a young lady shopping and was casually given a set of luxury goods, but…
Just return the gift later.
According to the president’s meaning, he is already capable of handling some commissions with good remuneration.
He has to take a real mission when he goes back.
Be more stable, it’s better to find a strong teammate.
With the friendship of being punched before, I wonder if hugging Erza’s thigh will work.
While thinking, the two have returned to the hotel.
People are coming and going in the hall, and many people stop to greet Mira when they see her.
From their appearance, they should be reporters and editors from the magazine, who have come here in advance to make preparations.
The two went upstairs, returned to the room to rest for a while, and prepared to go to the banquet hall where the celebration was held.
At Mira’s request, Rhode changed into the suit he had just bought and left his dangerous backpack in the room.
However, Rhode felt unsafe, so he still carried a thinner magic book.
Before leaving, Rhode moved the table and chairs, freed up enough space, and summoned a river crab to stay and watch the backpack.
Fortunately, the room is big enough, otherwise it would be difficult to release the river crab.
