“Wow… .”

As soon as she entered the department store, Yeonseo couldn’t close her gaping mouth.

My eyes widened when I saw the department store building that was so tall it seemed to reach the end of the sky, and then I was surprised again by the department store’s luxurious interior.

The crowds of people, the endless rows of luxury brand stores on every wall, and the billboards filled every space in the middle were like a new world to our saint.

Finally, Yeonseo asked me with a serious face.

“Is this where the king lives?”

The innocent question made me burst out laughing.

It was nice to see a child who had always been cynical in another world finally find an expression appropriate for his age.

“No, there is no king in this country. There are politicians, but they are representatives elected by the people.”

“People voted for it? That’s how it developed.”

Uh… that’s a bit controversial.

Since I don’t know much about politics and economics, it was difficult for me to explain it carelessly.

“Okay, let’s go buy some clothes first.”

The first thing I went shopping for was, of course, clothes.

At home, I dressed her in my own clothes, but Yeonseo was only wearing a single piece of civilian clothing.

I had to quickly get him some clothes that would allow him to go out on his own.

I deliberately quickened my pace.

People were looking at Yeonseo sideways because of her innate beauty and her clothes that felt a bit out of place.

In one couple, the man stared at Yeonseo openly, causing the woman to become serious and a minor fight to break out.

Seeing that, Yeonseo felt uneasy because of the possibility that she might get entangled with some random guy if she went out alone.

This world was full of too many temptations for the innocent and curious saint.

What if I make a real boyfriend here?

That alone made me really annoyed.

Even though it was Yeonseo’s freedom to have a boyfriend, I felt awkward because I was so restless.

We took the escalator to the women’s casual floor.

I guess I don’t need to mention the admiration Yeonseo gave on the escalator because it’s so obvious.

“Ah, those clothes are pretty.”

“Not so good anywhere else?”

“They’re all pretty, but I like that one the best.”

After seeing the clothes on the mannequins, I went into the store that Yeonseo had pointed out.

It was a store that felt more like a large booth than a separate store like a luxury brand, but the brand here was also a maker.

“Welcome, oh my, your girlfriend is so pretty~.”

“Ah… We… .”

“Thank you!”

A female employee who looked to be in her mid-20s greeted us.

I guess they saw us as a couple because of our age.

But while I was flustered, not knowing what to say, Yeonseo quickly said thank you.

Is it okay if we’re treated as a couple?

Maybe it was because I was too lazy to add any more detailed explanations.

I was having stupid thoughts like, “He’s Yeonseo’s boyfriend,” so I noticed it for no reason.

“How is it?”

Yeonseo came out of the fitting room wearing a black one-piece dress.

A one-piece dress that emphasizes the waist line by tightening the waist, rather than the baggy clothes that men usually think of.

It was a neat outfit that highlighted Yeonseo’s body but did not reveal much.

“Huh? What do you think~.”

This time, I had my mouth open.

I was fully aware that she was pretty.

But I didn’t know that just changing one piece of clothing would make such a difference.

Rather than casting a halo, it catches the eye.

It was so beautiful that it was hard to even look at it properly.

“You’re so pretty~!”

Instead of me, who was frozen and unable to say anything, a female employee came running with a broad smile.

She already had several hangers in her hands.

“Oh my gosh. You’re really pretty. You can wear it without looking too fancy.”

“What is Kkuankku?”

“It looks like you put on some effort, but it doesn’t look like you did! It’s a natural look that’s not overdone. Hmm, we don’t use that expression very often these days, right? But that’s the word that came to mind.”

“Pretend not to… .”

Yeonseo repeated carefully, then came over to me and asked.

“Am I pretending not to be?”

“Uh… Yeah.”

Yeonseo nodded absentmindedly, but her face was blank.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen this expression.

“Hmm, hmm!”

The female employee intentionally coughed in vain.

Only then did I come to my senses and nod my head again actively.

“Sorry, you look so good together that I got dazed for a moment.”

“Really?”

Only then did Yeonseo’s expression relax.

The female employee gave me a thumbs up for me to see.

“Okay, I’ve picked out some clothes that would suit you. Would you like to take turns trying them on?”

“Really? Thank you!”

Yeonseo is excited to see new clothes, and the female employee is excited to find a young and pretty model.

The fashion show between the two people began right away.

There wasn’t a single piece of clothing that didn’t match what she wore, and I was simply amazed by the unique charm that Yeonseo displayed.

You are truly beautiful.

But why are there more and more people around me watching Yeonseo’s fashion show?

—

In an instant, I bought 3 one-piece dresses, 2 blouses, 5 undergarments, 3 pairs of jeans, and 3 pairs of slacks… I gave up counting how much I bought.

After leaving the store with a 90-degree bow from the female employee, we went to a sportswear shop while we were at it.

I also bought Yeonseo several pairs of comfortable tracksuits and boxy tees for when she wants to work out or just want to be comfortable.

I showed her a bra top and leggings that were good for her activities, but Yeonseo was disgusted and told her to put them back where they were right away.

“It would be comfortable to move in and fit well, right?”

I accidentally blurted out something like this and was immediately scolded by the saintess.

“Do you like it when I wear clothes like this and people stare at me outside?”

I couldn’t force him to do something he didn’t want to do.

I kept my mouth shut, but on the other hand, I was glad that she had turned down the bra top and leggings.

It was a little embarrassing to hide the smile that was forming on my face.

After dropping off our jeans and slacks at the department store tailor, we decided to have a late lunch.

I chose a pasta restaurant and went in for Yeonseo, who still can’t use chopsticks.

“I’m so so happy right now.”

Yeonseo smiled broadly as she rolled the cream pasta noodles around with a fork.

“I bought a lot of pretty clothes, and it was fun looking around the store. The world Jinhyeon lives in is truly a different world.”

It’s a different world, you use such a fancy expression.

Yeonseo was currently wearing a beige one-piece dress.

The commoner’s clothes were too shabby, so I had no choice but to change them.

I asked her if she liked this one-piece dress the best among all the clothes she wore.

Then,

“That’s the only outfit you said was pretty.”

The answer came back:

In fact, they were all pretty, but I was so absorbed in looking at them that I only came to my senses at the end and barely managed to say that they were pretty.

“Ugh~!”

Yeonseo took a bite of the pasta and waved her arms up and down slightly.

Looking at that sight with pleasure, I also wanted to try eating pasta.

But the fork just kept spinning in place and couldn’t pull up the noodles properly.

“Oh my.”

Yeonseo sighed at my clumsy appearance and snatched my fork and spoon away, then turned the noodles herself and placed them on her spoon.

“Ah~.”

“Uh…Thank you.”

When I try to grab the fork that is extended, it slightly pulls back.

And then he slowly pushed it out again.

“Ah~.”

“Not even a kid, people look at me weird.”

Then Yeonseo gestured to the back with her chin.

As I glanced around without letting on, I saw a couple feeding each other pasta and risotto.

“That’s a couple.”

“Ha.”

Yeonseo looked slightly annoyed.

“If you’re a man, would you please escort the lady properly like a man?”

What did he mean? The attention focused on Yeonseo from those around her was no joke.

In particular, some of the men were blatantly looking this way.

I realized Yeonseo’s intention and put the fork in my mouth without saying a word.

“Is it delicious?”

“Yeah.”

Yeonseo smiled as I nodded honestly.

“Who is feeding you~.”

The person who made it was the chef here.

It would have been better to act cute than to respond with something like a T.

“Thank you, Saint.”

“Know it as an honor for the rest of your life!”

Yeonseo rolled up the noodles again and held out a fork.

I was embarrassed, but I accepted it all.

Yeonseo makes a mischievous expression when she sees me like that, and I feel embarrassed.

Still, it was fun.

It was an experience I never imagined would make mealtimes fun.

—

The time has finally come.

We found clothes that had had their length altered.

“Jinhyeon-ah, what are you going to buy now?”

“Would you like to follow me for now?”

I think I answered a little stiffly.

There’s nothing I can do.

Anyone in my shoes would do the same thing.

Yeonseo, who had been following along without knowing English, froze at the entrance to the floor she arrived at along the escalator.

A variety of women’s underwear hung openly on a mannequin.

The floor we arrived at was the lingerie floor.

From comfortable designs to small, slightly see-through, yet luxurious designs, I wandered among the mannequins and stopped in front of the entrance of a store of an underwear brand that I, a man, would recognize.

Perhaps because it was a high-end brand, it was a store with an entrance rather than a booth.

“You… were you aiming for this from the beginning?”

I raised my sweaty hand and showed it to Yeonseo, who was whispering fiercely with a flushed face.

“I didn’t want to come either. And I’m not going into the store.”

“Then just go to another floor right now. What are you doing, you rascal!”

Yeonseo gritted her teeth and whispered.

Do I really have to tell you this?

I’m worried. I’m worried, but I think I have to do it.

“Yeonseo.”

“Why, why don’t we just take the moving stairs and go to the other floor… .”

“You, including the day you first came to this world, it’s been 3 days… Aren’t you wearing the same clothes?”

The story stopped.

Completely stopped working.

Even if it was a mannequin, it didn’t move at all.

“Me… Yeonseo? Gosh!”

The moment I tried to wave my hand at Yeonseo’s eyes, just in case,

The saint’s heavy body hook entered the hallway.

Isn’t it too much to pour divine power into a fan?
