Chapter 61 : Street Embarrassment PLAY
After arriving at the market district, Lonis was stunned by the scene before her.
This wasn't an ordinary plaza, but rather like the main commercial street in a fantasy movie—bustling with traffic and activity!
The roadside was lined with various shops: cookie bakeries, Magic Crystal stores, phone (magic device) adjustment shops, clock sales points, and everything else you could imagine.
On the streets, people wore all kinds of clothing that dazzled Lonis.
There were adventurers wearing short boots, black over-knee socks, and fitted robes,
as well as clergy in white garments.
There were citizens in ordinary attire, but more were students in school uniforms, walking and chatting on the streets, seemingly discussing recent events:
"Hey hey, did you hear? The legendary theater is coming here for a touring performance."
"Really? Is it Monroe?!"
"Of course, let's go to a restaurant and have sushi to celebrate."
"What does that have to do with celebrating? You just want to eat sushi."
......
Lonis stared blankly with wide eyes, feeling a sense of historical weight washing over her.
When she was a hero, she had seen similarly laid-out streets... In terms of architectural beauty, the Snow Kingdom Royal Capital's building designs were also very beautiful, combining ancient grandeur with humanistic elegance.
But being there in person, truly standing before these operating storefronts, you could feel that indescribable shock.
This not only represented that you had been reborn and gained new life.
It also represented an unknown hope sprouting and being born in your heart.
......
(Great, let me first see what interesting things there are?)
At this moment, Lonis's heart no longer held any embarrassment. Like a child, she began happily observing everything around her.
『There's actually a weapon shop over there? So many exaggerated sword designs!』
『This street lamp, why does it have such a unique design... it looks like a miniature defense tower.』
『This kind of tree... exists too? Amazing, the fruit actually glows by itself... I've never seen this variety before.』
『Wah, it's grilled lamb skewers. I didn't expect they'd have them here too. (╯▽╰) Smells so good~~』
『Th-this quaint-looking shop sells what... eh? It sells dolls?! So lifelike!!!』
......
Lonis wandered around a big circle and saw many things.
Without Elucia's explanations, she didn't understand what many of the shops were for, so she could only half-understand and remember them, planning to ask Elucia when she returned.
(Hehe, it feels so interesting! Let me find a nice shop and ask if I can work there.)
......
Lonis wasn't a thin-skinned girl. In fact, casually talking to villagers and accepting quests was basic hero training.
So the silver-haired girl prepared to approach a small shop and ask if they needed a sales clerk.
However...
......
"Wuu?!"
The sudden vibration made Lonis cry out.
She stared in disbelief at her body with embarrassment... The little toys hidden under her white dress had all activated simultaneously.
Though only level 1 and not very intense vibration, this was on the street!
And her "moan" just now had attracted many passersby's attention. Several female students looked over curiously... seemingly wondering if Lonis needed help.
(Elucia!!!)
At this moment, Lonis really wanted to wave her fists and fight that black-hearted sadistic girl to the death.
How, how could she suddenly activate the switch like that!
This was too much bullying QAQ!
But right now, forget about fighting Elucia to the death—even taking a step was extremely difficult for Lonis.
The silver-haired girl's cheeks burned. She twisted her body, trying to make her posture appear normal and not attract others' attention.
But the more she did this, the stranger Lonis felt her walking became. After just a few steps, she was horrified to discover she was walking with the wrong coordination!
And on the street, more passersby were secretly observing her.
Those suspicious gazes seemed to say...
......
『Look at that silver-haired girl, her behavior is really strange!
『Dressed so cute, she must have some weird hobby!』
『That blushing look, could there be little toys placed in her body~~!』
『Hehe, she's definitely completing her master's task.』
『There's actually such a perverted girl, how embarrassing.』
......
Of course, these were just Lonis's imagination. The little dress's vibration was currently in silent mode, completely undetectable to outsiders.
But Lonis didn't know this. She just stumbled forward, not daring to make eye contact with anyone around her.
(Don't look at me, don't look at me...)
The stimulating sensation made Lonis's heart pound, and her whole body broke out in cold sweat from nervousness.
After a while, the vibration gradually disappeared...
Lonis finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed completely.
But even so, the silver-haired girl's eyes looked somewhat teary, as if she had just been crying.
(Elucia is too much of a bully!)
Lonis angrily clenched her fists, but she had no way to resist. She couldn't just find a random passerby and say, "I'm imprisoned by a black-hearted beautiful girl, please save me!"
Before that, she'd have to explain the current situation clearly, explain that this little dress was a cage that kept bullying her.
She'd also have to explain Elucia's identity as her master, and even the fact that she was originally a boy.
How could she possibly say such embarrassing words to strangers?
Moreover, although Elucia was detestable, Lonis had long since considered her as her wife.
She couldn't possibly let outsiders arrest her wife, right?
So...
......
(Hmph, a gentleman's revenge is never too late. Elucia, just you wait. Someday I'll pin you down on the bed and bully you mercilessly!)
......
After this, Lonis went to many shops, preparing to look for a job.
But this matter wasn't going smoothly... After all, Lonis's status was tourist, and general shops weren't willing to process work visas for tourists.
Because processing work visas was both troublesome and unreliable, and Lonis had no academic credentials, so she could only do temporary work.
Plus the toys in her little dress kept turning on and off, making Lonis's mood restless and causing her to perform poorly in interviews due to nervousness.
So the silver-haired girl visited four or five shops but was politely refused by all the bosses.
Like this, the sky gradually darkened, and soon it was dusk.
The setting sun sank into the clouds, spreading fish-scale-like fire clouds... Though this scene was magnificent, Lonis knew she didn't have much time left.
She had to find a reliable job, otherwise she would definitely be bullied by Elucia when she returned tonight.
So...
(This is the only way?)
Lonis took a deep breath and walked into that shop. Her cheeks were extremely hot, like an innocent girl who had secretly tasted forbidden fruit.
Because this shop's name was...
"Dream☆Hope—Maid Café"
