Chapter 112: Obsessed With Women Clothes
Under the surveillance cameras, Shen Yu still hadn’t come out of the fitting room.
One minute passed.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
The store clerk was finally unable to sit still.
She nervously knocked on the door.
"S-Sir..."
"Sir..."
"You’re... you’re not trying the clothes on yourself, are you?"
"I-I’m not discriminating against you!"
"You can simply buy the clothes if you like them!"
Inside the fitting room—
Shen Yu didn’t even answer.
Instead, he looked helplessly at the two women beside him.
Yang Jin casually held up a pair of white silk stockings.
"Shen Yu."
"I want two pairs of these."
Before he could respond—
Yun Han softly pointed toward another shelf.
"L-Lang Jun..."
"I like the black gradient ones..."
As they reached another display of stockings, Shen Yu silently bent down again and picked up both pairs.
"Do you still want to try them on?"
"Yes."
Two voices answered simultaneously.
"..."
Without another word, Shen Yu pushed open the fitting room curtain once more.
Buzz...
The moment the curtain closed—
Yang Jin and Yun Han appeared inside again.
Yang Jin shamelessly sat on the cushioned chair.
She lifted one long leg toward him.
"Shen Yu."
"Help me put them on."
Yun Han timidly raised her own feet.
"L-Lang Jun..."
"I’d like mine too..."
Two pairs of beautiful feet gently swayed before him.
Ordinarily...
Such a scene would have been enough to make any man lose his composure.
Unfortunately—
After being thoroughly exhausted the previous night...
And after helping both women change outfits countless times over the past several days...
Shen Yu now felt less like a man...
...and more like a full-time servant.
"...Alright."
"...Alright."
With an expression devoid of emotion, he helped them change into the new stockings.
Outside—
The clerk quietly stepped backward.
She stared fearfully at the fitting room as package after package of stockings slid out through the gap beneath the door.
Unable to contain herself, she shouted,
"Sir!"
"The stockings you’ve tried on can simply be purchased!"
"It’s alright!"
"Our store treats everyone equally!"
"Men can wear stockings too!"
Hearing that—
Shen Yu’s face remained completely numb.
Shopping with girls...
Really was terrifying.
Meanwhile—
Inside the surveillance room.
The long-haired female officer beside Luxian finally broke down.
"No way."
"No way."
"This guy is unbelievable."
"I’d rather fight ghosts in an S-Rank dungeon than team up with him."
She rubbed her forehead.
"Sister Luxian..."
"Tell me honestly."
"Could it be..."
"...that he’s buying these clothes for you?"
Luxian suddenly froze.
Her eyes gradually widened.
"...Wait."
"Is there actually a possibility?"
"What if..."
"He wanted to surprise me?"
"So he tried checking the sizes first?"
She wasn’t simply fantasizing.
After thinking about it carefully—
That seemed like the only remotely reasonable explanation.
Otherwise—
Why would Shen Yu buy so many women’s clothes?
For ghosts?
That made even less sense.
He could always buy them before entering another dungeon.
There was no need to rush.
Perhaps...
He wanted to apologize after rejecting her.
"He..."
The long-haired officer immediately shook her head.
"Impossible."
"Absolutely impossible."
"You can keep watching."
"I’m leaving."
Unable to endure the spectacle any longer, she turned around and left.
Luxian remained staring at the monitor.
She watched Shen Yu leave the clothing store carrying several bags full of women’s clothes before returning to his villa.
Immediately afterward—
She eagerly picked up her phone.
Perhaps...
He would finally call.
One hour passed.
Two hours passed.
Night fell.
No call came.
Luxian slowly lowered the phone.
"...So..."
"He really bought all those clothes..."
"...for himself?"
The following day—
Shen Yu returned to Floor -7.
This time, instead of shopping, he quietly browsed through the archives all day.
Yet—
His waist occasionally bent backward for no apparent reason.
Inside the monitoring room—
Luxian and the long-haired officer stared at the surveillance feed in confusion.
"Huh?"
"He didn’t go shopping today."
"He actually spent the whole day reading archives."
"He really has some dedication."
The long-haired officer frowned.
"...Strange."
"Why does it feel like he’s visited these archives countless times already?"
"Isn’t today only his first day here?"
Luxian couldn’t explain it either.
She felt an odd sense of déjà vu.
Almost as though...
Shen Yu had already spent four or five days reading those files.
Curious, she immediately reviewed the previous surveillance recordings.
The result stunned her.
Every previous recording showed something completely different.
Shopping.
Women’s clothing stores.
Perfume counters.
Accessory shops.
There wasn’t a single recording of him reading archives.
"...Weird."
Another day quietly ended.
After returning home—
Shen Yu suddenly looked toward empty air and sighed.
"Alright."
"Alright."
"I know."
"I ignored you today."
"I’ll accompany both of you shopping later."
"Happy now?"
Silence filled the room.
A moment later—
Pink ripples spread behind him.
Buzz...
Without hesitation—
He activated Perfect Timeline once again.
The world distorted.
Time rewound.
The afternoon sunlight became the bright morning sun.
The next instant—
He heard two familiar voices.
"Shen Yu."
"Let’s watch a movie today."
"And buy a handbag."
"And perfume."
Yang Jin smiled brightly.
"I want to go too."
Yun Han immediately followed.
"So do I."
"...Fine."
"...Fine."
"...Let’s go."
With a defeated sigh, Shen Yu once again headed toward the shopping district.
At the same moment—
Inside the monitoring room—
Luxian and the long-haired officer stared blankly at the surveillance screens.
The long-haired officer slowly pointed at the monitor.
"Look."
"See?"
"Except for that first day..."
"He’s been shopping for five straight days."
"I told you."
"Something’s seriously wrong with this guy."
Luxian rubbed her temples speechlessly.
She finally admitted it.
No matter how she looked at it—
Shen Yu truly seemed obsessed with women’s clothing.
Buzz.
Buzz.
Buzz.
Suddenly—
The phones in everyone’s pockets vibrated simultaneously.
Luxian instinctively glanced at hers.
The moment she read the notification—
Her expression changed completely.
[Stateool City Defense Department]
Emergency Meeting
Assembly Hall
Report Immediately
Almost simultaneously—
While shopping—
Shen Yu’s phone vibrated as well.
The long-haired officer immediately grabbed Luxian.
"Hurry!"
The two women rushed toward the elevator without another word.
As for Shen Yu—
He quietly found a secluded corner.
After storing all the shopping bags inside his special space, he headed toward the elevator with a thoughtful expression.
"...Something’s wrong."
"In the timeline where I spent the entire day studying the archives..."
"Nothing happened."
"But after returning to this timeline..."
"And choosing to go shopping instead..."
"...an emergency meeting was suddenly called."
His eyes narrowed.
"So..."
"Different choices really do create entirely different futures."
"And this emergency..."
"...is probably far more serious than anyone realizes."
